Although Steve had known that they would receive a call from that side, he still let out a long sigh when Director He's call came through.
Ah, happy times were so brief. The days he spent alone with the giant beast Serpan were not many.
Steve, feeling downcast, answered the phone with a listless voice:
"It's Director He... uh... work? Yes, there's a bit of a situation to report."
Steve spoke reluctantly, completely indifferent to the barely suppressed emotion bubbling beneath Director He's calm façade.
After working together for so many years, Steve knew what Director He would say and for what purpose, but he empathized only up to a point.
It wasn't the first time he had been reprimanded.
Cherishing the animal bone he had just uncovered, Steve sighed again.
He had visited this rainforest many times before, along with other exploration teams. It could be said that every year, no fewer than a hundred researchers came here.
