Chapter 631: Chapter 412: Gudong Arrives_1

The plane arrived on time, as scheduled.

It was still that modified agricultural plane, making good use of its flight even though it wasn’t carrying passengers, as it had brought a shipment of goods for the villagers to trade.

Every time a plane came, the village would buzz with excitement.

Feng Yi and his group bought quite a few things in the village and needed help transferring everything. Taking advantage of the plane’s arrival, villagers hurriedly promoted their own goods for sale, including the fruits and vegetables grown in their fields.

These were fresh; you could pick and take them away immediately.

Feng Shou showed great interest and made some impromptu purchases.

Feng Yi then assigned tasks to Jia and Ding.

The purchased jams, though the villagers had already considered storage issues during production and the jars were sealed, still had a limited shelf life and needed to be packed and shipped back to their home country quickly.

Feng Yi had made a list of recipients for these gifts and instructed that Jia and Ding primarily take charge of shipping the goods back home while Yi and the others who remained in their home country would deliver the gifts according to the list.

Before boarding the plane, Jia left behind a cell phone.

New and unused.

Having prepared two spare phones for this trip, now one of them was left with Feng Yi, given to Sulayem as compensation for the crushed diamonds.

Before departure, they took a group photo with the village as the backdrop.

Many people who come here for travel, research, or filming take such group photos as keepsakes.

After all, if not for work, who would want to come to such a place—with inconvenient access to water and electricity, no network, poor medical facilities, and constant worries about infection or wild animal attacks?

Possibly only visiting once in a lifetime, taking some photos for memories, or to show off on social media.

The cargo was loaded into the plane, and the passengers began to board one after another.

The village chief stood at the entrance to the village, watching the plane fade into the distance.

His expression grew gradually joyful.

Finally, they’re gone!

Thinking of the diamonds and what the diamonds could do for the village, the chief was very spirited.

Oh? No, that’s not right!

There’s still one left!

The chief’s smile became more reserved as he looked toward the young man with a backpack not far away.

This one said he would enter the rainforest alone.

At this moment, you could see that the young man was quite relaxed, not at all like someone about to venture into the primal forest alone, but as if embarking on a leisurely and comfortable journey.

The village chief had seen many outsiders, including plenty of young people who were overconfident and reckless—not just the young, but also those who believe themselves to be skillful at survival. Watching a few documentary and reality TV episodes, they think they’ve "learned it" and "I could do that too."

Ridiculous!

Ignorant!

Foolish outsiders!

Like this young man not far away, does he really know what he’s about to face?!

The humid and hot environment, the ubiquitous dangers—that’s a gamble with life without logistical support!

Many go in laughing and come out crying, oh, coming out crying is still fortunate—how many go in only to disappear without a trace?

You don’t even need the wildlife or vegetation to lift a finger; the climate of the rainforest itself is a tremendous challenge!

Add in various other factors; without professional training, a person unfamiliar with the environment could go mad with time.

There’s no peaceful sleep in the rainforest, always remaining vigilant because falling asleep could mean waking up inside the gut of an animal.

With scarce food and the risk of wild beast attacks, once in trouble, it’s like being trapped in an endless cage with no hope in sight—physical and mental agony!

The lucky ones are rescued; the unfortunate ones... well, they’re just unfortunate.

The village chief looked down at the shoes Feng Yi was wearing.

Clean and nice, they had been washed that morning, and they seemed sturdy. But what good would they do?

There are no paths in the rainforest, no flat ground. You might step on something hard, struggling to find a place for your next step, and in a few days, your shoes would be ruined.

That’s why those on work tasks enter the rainforest either by flying directly to the location or by boat, using the river.

This newcomer seems overly confident. This magnificent rainforest will teach him an important life lesson.

Feng Yi, unaware of the chief’s thoughts and with no intention of further bonding with the villagers, raised his hand and waved to them, "Goodbye! I’m off now!"

The village chief looked at him.

Under the sunlight, despite the youthful and smiling face, the chief always felt the eyes were somehow cold, especially when looking towards the rainforest, giving off a strange vibe.

The figure entered the forest, steps light and briskly disappearing into the woods.

The village chief stood there for a while before returning to his own affairs. With all the outsiders gone, he had to continue with his business.

By noon, the village chief, back in his home, waited for two villagers just returned from the rainforest.

These two were sent by the chief to keep an eye on Feng Yi, not to track and monitor him, but to confirm that he didn’t wander into the forbidden areas.

"He certainly didn’t go to the forbidden area; we watched him walk away quickly. He’s more like an adept hunter! No wonder he dares to venture into the rainforest alone!" one villager said.

The village chief nodded.

As long as they didn’t venture into the forbidden areas, the villagers weren’t interested in what the outsiders did in the rainforest.

In the rainforest.

Feng Yi’s pace matched his excitement, but since he hadn’t yet ventured deep into the rainforest, he might encounter some natives and still had to control his speed.

From what the villagers told him, other areas with unaccommodated natives might wander through the forest in family units.
