Forest Ranger, starting from Picking Up a Lynx Girl

Chapter 248: Chapter 248: Life is Born on this Beautiful Morning

Chen Ying and his team set off while it was still dark.

The sunrise was expected around 6:30 AM, with sunset at 8:30 PM, making for approximately 14 hours of daylight.

However, by about 5:40 AM, the sky had already started to lighten, and they could see the scenery along the roadside.

“Brother Ying, take a look ahead, I feel like a car has passed through here recently.”

Chen Ying looked closely and saw fresh tire tracks with water marks on them.

“Should we go back and check? These cars came in through the official channels, right?”

Yin Li parked the car by the roadside and made a phone call.

A few minutes later, his expression relaxed.

“It’s a scientific investigation team that came in to study the water environment, about two hours ahead of us.”

Knowing their origin was reassuring.

He had mentioned it before; the protection zone hadn’t seen poaching for over a decade, so it was unlikely they’d just happen upon it.

“They’re carrying out hydrogeological surveying, probably heading in the same direction as us. We’re camping by the lake tonight.”

After traveling over forty kilometers, the roadside opened up into endless grassland.

This area belonged to the buffer zone on the perimeter of the protection zone, with wire fencing on both sides of the road for tourists to observe the occasional wildlife.

The presence of the wire fencing was intended to prevent tourists from entering the grassland and disturbing the environment, as well as to guard against potential attacks from wildlife.

Once past the protection zone’s buffer zone, there were no more roads to travel, and that’s when they would come closest to the wild animals.

“The newly surveyed buffer zone is about 20,000 square kilometers. This time, we’ll be entering the uninhabited area from the east and reaching the outskirts of Zhuonai Lake. We probably won’t retreat until late July.”

Chen Ying calculated the time; weren’t they going to stay there for over twenty days?
