When Matt came back, the whole person was in high spirits.

"What did Jason say?" Kevin looked at Matt and knew that something was going on.

"Hold on for a while," Matt said to Jennifer. He looked at Kevin. "Jason gave us a plan, but we can't implement it until the rain stops."

"What plan?" Jennifer and Kevin asked together.

"Our current location is the Everglade Crocodile Farm, which is not far from Highway 9336." Matt took a breath

"Is that far?" Jennifer continued to ask, her voice was weak, and just now Sigourney had fed her some water and some biscuits.

"Jason said that you can go south along Highway 9336 to get there," Matt thought. "I see the location on the map is at the southern end of the Everglades."

"It's still a bit far," Kevin said. "But if we just need to walk along the highway, we don't have a problem backing up."

"Yes, Jennifer, I will accompany you to the Flamingo Visitor Center after you arrive at the Pahelocchi Observatory." Matt said to Kevin again, "Then you will take our men and the Major and they will wait for us at the lookout tower."

"Matt, I'd better go to the hospital with Jennifer and Mason," Kevin shook his head. He didn't want to miss such a good opportunity to buy people's hearts. Instead of staying in the lookout stand to watch the rain, it would be better to escort the patients to accumulate political capital and popularity for himself. "You are the captain, you need to stay here to take charge of the overall situation."

"Well, then, please," Matt didn't know what Kevin was thinking. Seeing that his deputy had the courage to share the responsibility, he was grateful.

"If you have a good rest, we will start when the rain stops." Matt covered Jennifer's blanket and whispered, "I'll see Mason again."

Time flows quietly like water in a river. In the shed on the auditorium, many people have begun to nap on wooden chairs. Thompson's crocodile hunting story came to an end after his own enrichment. Several young girls in the scientific research group looked at him with much fiercer eyes, especially Selena, who had moved her position from the opposite side of Thompson to his side.

"We need to keep our voice down. The doctor seems to be asleep," Thompson said in a low voice. He saw Dr. Mario leaning against the pillar with his eyes closed.

"I'll get a blanket to cover the doctor," Annie stood up and went to find Stephen to get the blanket.

"Bring me one too, Anne," said Dr. Martin. "Thank you, dear."

"Yes, Doctor." Annie smiled and said, and she asked the others around to see if they needed blankets, too.

"Kim, let's have a rest," Hill said. "It's raining all the time. It makes people feel sleepy."

"I think so," Kim nodded and leaned against Hill with her head on her shoulder.

The flames jumped in Jin's eyes, and her eyes slowly closed. The swaying fireworks seemed to be locked in her eyes. Kim began to fall asleep. She felt that she was back on the beach of West Palm Beach, surrounded by tourists who came here to enjoy the sun and sand.

"VIVI, come back quickly, don't lose it," a black and white dog ran past her, and a girl shouted in the distance.

Kim knows this girl and has met her here many times before.

The girl chasing the puppy is named Liao Xinyi. She is a girl from China. From the previous chat with her, Kim knew that she had been in Florida for four years and that her sister was in Los Angeles.

"Hi, Xinyi," Kim greeted her from afar.

"See you again, Jin," Liao Xinyi ran over and said to Jin with a smile. "My puppy is too naughty. I will have fun everywhere when I come out. If only it could be as quiet as this Alaska."

Liao Xinyi sat down beside Jin, and her eyes were attracted by an Alaska nearby.

VIVI saw that his master did not continue to chase him, so he stopped and looked at Liao Xinyi and Jin from afar.

"Most sled dogs are very cute," Kim also liked the appearance of this Alaska dog. She whistled at the big dog, "except... well... Captain Ha."

"You're right, haha," the warm sunshine spread on them, making them feel very bright.

"I will teach you a way to ensure that your VIVI will come back immediately." Kim said mysteriously.

"Really?" Liao Xinyi is curious about what kind of ideas Jin will come up with.

"You can go and tease this Alaska, so your VIVI will be jealous," Kim said. "Then it will come back to you by itself."

"Well, reasonable," Liao Xinyi nodded.

Liao Xinyi went to touch Alaska's head and said hello to its owner.

VIVI saw his master stroking another dog in the distance, and he began to realize that his master's pet was shared by this Alaska. Can he bear it? The answer is no.

VIVI rushed back at a trot, and its short legs raised sand on the beach.

"Woof, woof," VIVI said to the big dog, "stupid dog, take your dirty dog's head away from my master's hand."

"Look, I'm right." Kim watched VIVI come running, rushed to Liao Xinyi's feet and rubbed her calf.

Alaska drew back from the VIVI demonstration. It squatted on the beach and looked at its owner nervously. At the moment, its owner was glued to the bikini beauty passing the other side and did not notice its eyes.

"Ha ha, VIVI, you are finally willing to come back," Liao Xinyi picked up VIVI and rubbed his forehead against his head.

VIVI stretched out her pink tongue and licked Liao Xinyi's face, then shouted twice at the squatting Alaska, proud that she had regained the master's favor.

"Animals are like this. My boyfriend Paul also has a dog," Kim said. She reached out and touched the head of VIVI. "He often quarrels with me about Paul, and he also eats my vinegar."

"Really?" Liao Xinyi covered her mouth and smiled.

Seabirds fly over the beach and sometimes land on the sea. They don't care about the people swimming or surfing around them, and they are not afraid of these tourists at all. Several children were building castles on the beach, and their parents were helping them. One of the mothers brought a small bucket from the beach. She poured the sea water into a ring of moat dug out by the children outside the castle. The water slowly overflowed, and the children all gave out a shout of joy.

The golden face in the dream smiled. Thompson and Selena whispered. Dr. Martin sat by the fire and took a nap with his eyes closed. The blanket Annie brought was covering them.

Jason looked out of the house from time to time, and the rain gradually weakened.

When it got dark, there was no rain drop in the sky. The marsh was covered with white fog, and birds began to sing in the surrounding trees.

The temperature in the Everglade has dropped, and the fires in the audience area have been added with firewood and charcoal. After two sick people have appeared in the team, Jason has also strengthened the heating work in the camp. The fire is burning vigorously, and the surroundings become dark. Only here in the audience area can the fire shine.

Steve and several soldiers carried over the field rations for dinner. The clothes on everyone were almost dried in the afternoon, and the shoes of a few people were still a little wet. They took off their shoes and walked around barefoot.

"I've been sleeping for so long..." Kim woke up, and her nose smelled the smell of barbecue. Jin Chao looked outside and found that it was dark outside, and the pointer on his watch had passed 6 o'clock.

"Hill, wake up," Kim shook Hill, who was still sleeping, to wake her up.

Hill rubbed her eyes. When she opened her eyes, she saw that Selena was leaning on Thompson's shoulder, and the two people were sitting next to each other. Neither of them had woken up.

Hill's heart was slightly sour. Thompson, who had been chasing her, was letting other women sleep on his shoulder.

"What's wrong with you? Are you not feeling well?" Seeing that Hill's face was not very good, King asked her with concern.

"Hmm? I'm fine, but I'm a little hungry," Hill quickly covered up. "How about you?"

"I'm hungry, too. I seem to smell the smell of barbecue just now," Kim said. "If I hadn't eaten too much at noon, I really wouldn't have put down those kebabs."

"No, I have eaten the same food in the base for so long," said Hilar Zazui. "It's still barbecue that suits my taste best."

"The sergeant brought the rations. What flavor would you like for the evening?" Kim asked, and she was also thinking about what kind of food she would choose for the evening.

"Yapingning dumplings in beef soup, right? How about you?" Hill thought for a moment and said, "But isn't dumpling Chinese food? Why is it called Yapingning dumpling?"

"The person who named it must have never been to China," Kim smiled. "But I haven't been there either."

"I originally planned to travel to China with Paul when I graduated, and the two people would go to see this mysterious country." Jin thought of Paul who lost contact. The video between them on the night when the mutation happened might be their last face. "There are many great people in that country, such as Lao Tzu, such as Sun Tzu. And Qin Shihuang, the great emperor, is said to have unified weights and measures and created a unified era."

"You know so much, Kim," Hill exclaimed. "Where did you learn all this knowledge?"

"I have read a lot of books about Chinese history," Jin said. "And I also have a friend from China, who and I used to go swimming and sunbathing in West Palm Beach."

"It's really good. If only I could have a foreign friend," Hill said with some envy. Her college career almost revolves around clubs and boyfriends. Compared with Kim, it is much more monotonous.

"My Chinese friend's name is Liao Xinyi. She has a lovely puppy, VIVI," Kim sighed. "In the afternoon, I dreamed about them."

"Alas, this damned disaster."
