After parting with Wei Hongxun, Feng Yi walked away from the riverbank.
The woods were denser there, with a variety of plants distributed along the slope. As the weather warmed, they, just like the hibernating animals, were brewing a new surge of life.
Feng Yi had limited contact with invasive species. Apart from those he had actually seen, there were many he couldn't identify at first glance, mainly because he lacked the stored memory of their scents, making it hard to match them even when seen.
But that didn't matter.
For plants and animals that he couldn't identify or suspected to be invasive, Feng Yi would take notes on his phone and consult the wildlife protection bureau staff who were experts in identifying species.
The breeze through the woods brought with it the stirrings of life from nearby and further away.
There were passersby, as well as wildlife protection bureau investigators and interns on patrol.
Beyond these...
Feng Yi paused in his steps.
