The sun had not completely set, but it was already dark outside. When the White woman stuffed paper into Zhang Zian’s car window, Zhang Zian thought she was giving out small advertising flyers. He thought to himself that these small advertising flyers were too simple. At least they should have been printed on bronze paper …… When she walked into the visitor center, he noticed that she looked Haggard, her hair was tied up behind her head, and her eyes were bloodshot. She looked like she had a serious lack of sleep.

  In foreign countries, if you encounter strangers or things that you don’t want to talk to, such as someone on the street pulling you to promote Environmental Protection theories or stuffing you with flyers, you just have to pretend to be at a loss and not understand English. This way, you can get away without losing your manners. Zhang Zian wasn’t here to travel. He had a lot of things to do, but seeing the woman’s dazed look, he softened and replied,””Your daughter? I’m sorry, I’m a new tourist here and didn’t see your daughter. ”


  In fact, he had not seen a single young girl since he came here. All he saw was a group of old mages taking pictures of Jesus ‘light.

  The White woman had probably been disappointed too many times. Hearing his answer was like adding a scoop of water to the ocean of disappointment, and the flame in her eyes that was already out of oil was just a little weaker.

  However, she still handed him a piece of paper.”Sir, this is my daughter. If you meet her in the forest ……”


  Zhang Zian took the paper and looked down at it.

  The picture of a young girl was printed on the paper. She had a bright smile, and the freckles on her cheeks highlighted her youthful vitality. She had short hair and was wearing a bicycle helmet with a GoPro next to it. She looked like a college student who liked outdoor sports.

  There were a few lines of words written below the profile picture. The girl’s name was melgen Miller. She was 19 years old this year and was studying in a famous school. Because she loved all kinds of outdoor sports and was brave enough to challenge herself, she decided to use a bicycle and hiking this summer to set off from San Francisco and cross a series of forest parks on the West Coast of the United States. Unfortunately, she disappeared about two weeks ago. Finally, she gave a series of phone numbers, asking people to contact her family or the police.

  Zhang Zian frowned slightly. He had inquired about some information before and after coming to the United States because of zombie deer, coyotes, and Leshi dog food. Many people might not know that in the United States, which was regarded as the most advanced technology and civilization in the Western world, it was not until ten years ago that someone successfully completed a similar feat. They walked through the 1800-mile mahogany forest on the West Coast of the Pacific Ocean, and it was completed by two men.

  He was not sure if melgen had done similar investigations before, or if she had gone to the cricket on a whim. He guessed that it was the latter. If she had really done any investigations, she would not dare to underestimate this vast primeval forest.

  It was true that tourists who drove freely on the road could easily cross the West Coast. Other than car accidents, there was basically no danger. They could also choose one or two classic hiking routes recommended by the park as a tour, but real hiking was much more dangerous than this.

  Anything could happen in a primeval forest. In addition to wild beasts like bears and cougars, rainstorms, floods, landslides, mudslides, and ruffians with bad intentions could all take your life. Even if you accidentally sprained your foot, you could be trapped in the forest and not be able to get out. You wouldn’t even be able to call for help.

  The vast but sparsely populated population density and commercial telecommunication companies made the mobile phone signal coverage in United States much worse than China. There was no signal in the suburbs, let alone in the Virgin forest. The tall mahogany that covered the sky could even make satellite phones difficult to use.

  After Zhang Zian took the printed paper, he was about to say something when a man in a special uniform came over and said,””Mrs. Miller, you’re making things difficult for us. The search and rescue work for your daughter is over. Although I understand your feelings, please do not disturb the other tourists. ”


  The man’s uniform was a gray top with dark green pants. There was an orange shield-shaped badge on his shoulder and a light brown cowboy hat on his head. The uniform was quite handsome, but Zhang Zian had never seen it anywhere else.

  After carefully observing the man’s badge, Zhang Zian suddenly realized that he was a Park inspector, or also known as a forest Inspector. It depended on whether he was in the United States park system or the American Forest System, similar to the forest Police China, but his duties were very broad, from collecting tickets to being a tour guide, to searching for missing people and investigating cases. Basically, everything that happened in the forest Park was under their control.

  Mrs. Miller seemed to be enraged and shouted,””My daughter is not dead yet! You bunch of good-for-nothings ended the search and rescue on your own and forced me to agree! Good! Then I will do it myself! Don’t even think about controlling me! Don’t ever think about it!”


  The forest patrolman looked at Zhang Zian awkwardly and said,””We didn’t say that your daughter is dead. We just think that her missing location is not in this forest. I advise you to look for her in other forests.”


  “She’s here! I’m sure!” Mrs. Miller roared hysterically.

  The forest patrolman’s face turned cold.”Mrs. Miller, please calm down. If you continue like this, I will have to ask you to leave. I will personally escort you out of the county.”


  Obviously, if Mrs. Miller didn’t know what was good for her and continued to be tough, the inspector would see her as being unreasonable and drive behind her car until she was driven out of the county.

  Mrs. Miller’s eyes were burning with anger, but she didn’t dare to do anything. If she was expelled, even her last hope of staying here to find her daughter would be destroyed.

  She pursed her lips and said to the inspector after a while,””May God forgive you.”


  The inspector’s face was expressionless, but he was also angry at the words that were actually a curse.

  After Mrs. Miller finished speaking, she seemed to have lost all her strength. She pushed the door open and went back to her car in a daze, but she didn’t start the engine. She just held the steering wheel and buried her face deep in it, her shoulders rising and falling from time to time.

  “Crazy woman.” The inspector snorted and returned to his seat. He flipped through a newspaper.

  Zhang Zian had wanted to ask the inspector if there were any suspicious organizations nearby, but looking at the man’s appearance, it was obvious that he was the kind of person who worked only to make money. It was better to avoid unnecessary trouble. If he asked, it would probably arouse the other party’s suspicion, and they would suspect that he was here to cause trouble. In that case, it was better to not ask.

  please keep reading on

  After some thought, he also turned and left the visitor center. He walked to Mrs. Miller’s car and knocked on the window.
