Chapter 101: The African Savannah

  Top-grade transparent

  As soon as Zhang Jun finished speaking, Shangguan Meixue heard a burst of eerie laughter in her ears, which made her hair stand on end. She subconsciously squatted beside Zhang Jun and only then felt slightly at ease. She asked tremulously: "What is this sound?"

  "It's probably a hyena." Zhang Jun said calmly. He wasn't an animal expert, but he had always liked watching "Animal World" and similar programs, so he had some general knowledge of the ferocious beasts on the African savannah.

  On the vast grassland, there is a carnivorous animal called hyena. They are used to making a creepy laugh-like sound, which sounds like human laughter. So once you hear this laugh, you know that the hyenas have arrived.

  I don't know if Shangguan Meixue had heard of the spotted hyena, but her body trembled slightly as she leaned closer to Zhang Jun, as if only by doing so would she be safe.

  Zhang Jun's gaze was fixed on the front, and he said calmly: "Don't be afraid, jackals generally do not attack humans, they have their own rules of conduct. In fact, for wild beasts, humans are more frightening."

  Soon, green lights appeared around them, like the ghostly fires on the grasslands. Under the moonlight, Shangguan Meixue saw over a hundred dog-like creatures slowly approaching. One of them was even less than ten meters away from them.

  The hyenas circled around the two of them, but didn't seem to be making any aggressive moves.

  Zhang Jun looked calmly at the hyenas, and after a while, he suddenly had a feeling that he could sense their mentality. It was a strange intuition, but he was very certain.

  "This should also be the function of Buddha's eye, Buddha's eye can see all kinds of human life, the universe and everything, it can also see through the thoughts of animals." Zhang Junru thought.

  He "saw" that these hyenas were actually very tense. In their simple minds, humans belonged to a dangerous and unpredictable species, and they would rather not provoke them if possible.

  Zhang Jun's calmness also gradually calmed down Shangguan Meixue, and she even began to gaze at the jackals calmly like Zhang Jun.

  After about ten minutes, the leading hyena let out a few soft cries and the pack of hyenas dispersed to find other prey. As these wild beasts left, Fang Guo's wife, Shangguan Meixue, visibly breathed a sigh of relief. A gust of wind blew by, causing her to shiver, and she vigorously rubbed her arms with both hands.

  The night on the African savannah is actually not hot at all, with a temperature of only fifteen or sixteen degrees. She was wearing very thin and few clothes, sat down, blown by the wind, and suddenly felt cold.

  Zhang silently took off the American military uniform on his body and threw it at her.

  Shangguan Meixue bit her lip, but didn't go get the clothes.

  Zhang Jun ignored him and sat down cross-legged, looking inward. Before long, he heard a strange noise in his ears, "gurgling" sounds that kept going on.

  He opened his eyes to see Shangguan Meixue's face turn red with embarrassment. It turned out that her stomach was growling, and before Zhang Jun saved her, she had gone a whole day without eating anything, starving for a whole day, naturally unbearable.

  Although she was starving to death, she refused to ask Zhang Jun and instead endured it silently.

  Zhang Junhao smiled and looked at her, asking: "Hungry?"

  She snorted and turned her face away.

  Zhang Jun stood up silently and walked away in an instant, his figure disappearing into the grassland.

  She wanted to call out to him, ask him where he was going, but in the end she only opened her mouth because she felt that she shouldn't have any communication with such a shameless person. But when Zhang Jun disappeared, a strong sense of fear arose in her heart.

  What if he just walks away? What if a wild animal appears?

  As she indulged in her thoughts, her body began to tremble violently and tears flowed down uncontrollably. She had an extraordinary family background, exceptional talent, and a strong personality. But no matter how one puts it, she was after all a woman, and women have moments of weakness and fear.

  A deep sense of loneliness struck her heart, and her crying grew louder, starting with a low sobbing, then turning into loud wailing.

  Also didn't know how long I cried, suddenly heard that familiar voice beside my ear.

  "Hey, done crying? Done crying, eat something." The speaker was Zhang Jun, who had returned at some unknown time, holding two skinned rabbits in his left hand, their innards removed. His right hand held a bundle of dry firewood.

  Shangguan Meixue suddenly lifted her head, her face still covered with sparkling tears, staring at Zhang Jun in shock, then her gaze fell on the wild rabbit.

  Zhang Jun's face was full of sly smiles, saying: "Afraid I'll abandon you? Don't worry, I'm a very responsible person."

  This remark was ambiguous, causing her previous fear and loneliness to disappear completely, and a look of anger reappeared on her face as she shouted loudly: "Who made you responsible!"

  Zhang Jun "heh heh" laughed, no longer arguing, but instead squatted down to quickly start a fire and then put the wild rabbit on to roast.

  The American soldier's uniform had a lot of practical things in it, such as a lighter, a small dagger, and even a packet of seasonings. Maybe the soldier liked to do barbecue on the African savannah, so he brought these things with him.

  Before long, the wild rabbit meat started sizzling and emitting a fragrant aroma that filled the air.

  Zhang Jun hastily sprinkled seasonings on top of it, making the aroma even thicker.

  Shangguan Meixue secretly savored the fragrance of her mouthwash, but forced herself not to look at the bonfire. She was starving, and could now eat a whole sheep, yet couldn't show it.

  Zhang Jun held out the roasted wild rabbit beside her face and smiled, asking: "Do you want some?"

  Shangguan Meixue had initially wanted to refuse, but thinking again, why be polite to such a shameless person? So she grabbed the roasted rabbit meat and savored it slowly with her head tilted to one side. Although she was very hungry, she still ate very slowly and elegantly.

  Zhang soon roasted another one, and he tasted it himself. The meat was quite good, salty and fresh just right, and he quickly devoured it, finishing the whole rabbit in three or five mouthfuls.

  After eating, he picked up a canteen from behind him and slowly started drinking. The canteen was also found in the military uniform, which had just been filled with water by him.

  Shangguan Meixue ate very slowly, but she still finished half of the rabbit. At this time, she felt thirsty and let out an uncontrollable belch, then cast her gaze at the sandbag in Zhang Jun's hand.

  Zhang Jun held up the water bag and asked: "Are you thirsty?"

  Shangguan Meixue glared at him with a huff, as if asking, "You think I'm thirsty or not?"

  Zhang Jun said: "Not thirsty? Then I'll drink it all." He raised his head and was about to take another sip.

  Shangguan Meixue was so angry that she couldn't wait to slap the despicable guy in front of her to death. She snatched the water bag away, then tilted her head and slowly savored it. After taking a sip, she felt that the taste of this water was a bit strange, slightly bitter.

  She frowned slightly and asked, "Why is it bitter?"

  Zhang Jundao said: "The taste of urine is a bit bitter."

  "Pffft!" Xiang Guan Mei Xue suddenly spat out the water she had been drinking halfway, and then kept dry heaving.

  "But what you drank wasn't urine, but water stored by the Boehmeria nivea tree. Although it's bitter, it's non-toxic."

  Shangguan Meixue only then realized she had been played. She gritted her teeth, fiercely smashing the water bag towards Zhang Jun, shouting: "You scoundrel!"

  Zhang Jun caught the water bottle and took a refreshing drink, sighing: "Things used by beautiful women are just different, there's even a hint of lipstick flavor on it, hehe."

  Shangguan Meixue was about to get furious, picked up the unfinished roasted rabbit and smashed it on Zhang Jun's head for the second time.
