Chapter 16 The Survival
Liu Yong's intimate knowledge of Ink Lake Park enabled him to navigate.
He promptly drove his vehicle to the lake, carefully selecting the optimal spot for his intended purpose.
Thanks to his familiarity with the park's layout and surroundings, he could make an informed decision with various factors such as the view, lighting, and accessibility of the chosen location.
This place is in a remote location, there is no camera, and there is no one. The nearest street light is still tens of meters away, and the sunlight is dim.
It is even closer to the lake, and the straight-line distance is less than ten meters.
Liu Yong parked the car, opened the trunk, and then communicated with the snapping turtle, asking it to come and get in the car.
Within two minutes, a snapping turtle, more significant than a millstone, came out of the lake. The snapping turtle weighing more than 100 kilograms, looked majestic and terrifying.
If someone else sees it, their first reaction is to step back a few steps in fright.
In this scenario, Liu Yong harbors no fear or trepidation, as the creature in question is his beloved pet. However, his primary concern lies in the possibility of other individuals happening upon the scene and witnessing his peculiar companion.
The potential for others to encounter his pet fills Liu Yong with unease, as he values his privacy and does not wish to attract undue attention or scrutiny from passersby.
Despite his unwavering affection for his animal companion, Liu Yong understands that not everyone may share his fondness for such a creature and fears the consequences that may arise from any unwanted attention.
So, I couldn't help but look around. I was relieved when I saw that there was no one.
"Hurry up and get in the car."
Hearing the order, it moved faster, faster, and more agile and climbed into the car's trunk smoothly.
The snapping turtle is already massive. Fortunately, the trunk of this car is relatively large, so there is no big problem loading it.
If it grows more extensive in a few days, it may be unable to hold it. Liu Yong needs to find a small truck.
After the snapping turtle got into the car, Liu Yong covered it with old clothes that were no longer needed, mainly to prevent it from being seen, and told it not to move around.
After covering it with those old clothes, closing the trunk door, and looking around again after confirming that no one was there, he sighed. Liu Yong suddenly felt more relaxed.
It's much easier than when you came here, and you can communicate with snapping turtles while driving.
"Master, where are you taking me?"
"I have always taken you to the sea, but the water in the sea is salty, can you adapt to such an environment?"
"It might work."
Hearing this, Liu Yong was slightly pleasantly surprised. What worried him most was that the snapping turtle would not adapt to the seawater environment, but it said it should be able to.
It would be great if it could!
The vast sea is its stage!
"Driving is much more vigorous. I want to get to the beach and put it into the sea immediately."
Liu Yong said.
However, Liu Yong had to slow down the speed of the car. There was the staff at the gate of the park checking the vehicle.
No, when will it be checked? They didn't check before.
It is a new rule. Ever since someone released an enormous crocodile in Ink Lake, the park has started to check the vehicles entering and leaving.
It is better during the day, especially at night when the inspection is stricter.
Liu Yong was also lucky. When he came in, the staff changed shifts, and no one checked here for a few minutes.
Slowed down the speed of the car and drove slowly towards the gate. They must not turn around. I hope they will not find the giant snapping turtle in the trunk.
"Don't move. Hide"
Confessed with the snapping turtle, they drove to the gate, and a white car parked in front of it was being checked.
I also opened the trunk to check. Seeing this situation, Liu Yong felt slightly nervous, and his head turned quickly. What should they do if they find the giant snapping turtle in the trunk?
After the car inspection in front, it was Liu Yong's turn. The staff member signaled to drive ahead.
Liu Yong didn't even notice that his palms were full of sweat.
"No way, I'm too nervous."
Liu Yong thought.
The car stopped in front of the barrier at the gate, and Liu Yong put down the window, trying to calm himself down, smiling all over his face.
"Why, it seems that they didn't check before."
A park staff member looked into the car and saw only one person in the car, and the trunk could not be seen clearly.
"Hello, sir, please open the trunk and let us have a look."
Liu Yong said:
"I have nothing in the trunk, basically empty, only a few old clothes."
The staff insisted:
"Sir, please cooperate with our work."
Liu Yong didn't move in the car. He seemed hesitant, knowing it might be exposed once he opened the trunk.
"Try your luck, in case they just take a look, as long as they don't take off those old clothes, and the light is relatively dark at night, they may be able to get away with it."
With this in mind, Liu Yong opened the door and exited the car, ready to open the trunk, but stopped soon.
Someone recognized Liu Yong.
That is the leader here. A few days ago, Liu Yong caught an enormous crocodile. He happened to have met Liu Yong, and he was impressed.
While Liu Yong was sitting in the car, he didn't recognize him. Now that Liu Yong had left the car, he recognized him immediately.
He said in surprise:
"Mr. Liu, it's you!"
Liu Yong glanced at the other party, seemed to have an impression, and soon remembered that he had met a few days ago, the other party seemed to be surnamed Liao, and he was a section chief.
"Section Chief Liao, it's you!"
Liu Yong was also a little surprised.
He also met an "acquaintance" then, so maybe he didn't need to open the trunk.
"Mr. Liu, why are you here?"
Liu Yong found a random reason,
"I drove out to relax, and I walked in here before I knew it, and I was about to leave."
Section Chief Liao told others:
"There is no need to check, the big crocodile was caught by Mr. Liu a few days ago, let it go!"
"He caught the big crocodile?"
The other staff couldn't help but look at Liu Yong a few more times. The park team has been discussing this matter, and now they finally see Liu Yong himself.
One of the staff quickly opened the bar to let them pass. Liu Yong got into the car happily and waved to Section Chief Liao and others.
Finally drove out of Ink Lake Park.
"It was so dangerous just now!"
Never expecting Neng to turn around, Liu Yong sighed a sigh of relief.
Liu Yong didn't know how to explain if such a giant snapping turtle was found in the trunk.
It's good now!
Feeling much more relaxed, he concentrated on driving to the destination near the Qingjiang River's mouth. The specific location has been confirmed during the day.
The car's speed could have been faster, and it took 40 to 50 minutes to get there. The car drove directly to the seaside, with a vast sea in front of it.
In order not to have any accidents, Liu Yong got out of the car first and did not rush to open the trunk to let the snapping turtle out but looked around.
After confirming that no one was around, Liu Yong opened the trunk and brought the covered old clothes.
"The place is here, and the sea is ahead!"
Quite some time, as it hastily clambers out of the vehicle and surveys the vast body of water that lies before it. With a glance at its surroundings, the turtle wastes no time beginning its journey, quickly scurrying towards its destination with purposeful determination.
Despite the potential obstacles and challenges, the snapping turtle's determination and enthusiasm remain steadfast, propelling it forward with speed and agility.
As it moves closer to its destination, the turtle's movements become more fierce and intense, driven by an innate sense of urgency and excitement.
Whether spurred on by instinct or sheer joy, the snapping turtle's journey is one of unwavering determination and steadfast commitment.'
This speed is surprising. It is faster than an adult and rushes into the sea in the blink of an eye.
Liu Yong thought in his heart, can it adapt to the seawater environment?
