Every day is one step closer to reality

Feng Yi didn't really think that the snake smell on his body scared away these marine iguanas, but this explanation could fool them. Since Santos had already given an explanation, he could just acquiesce.

Yes, it’s the smell of snakes that scares them away!

Thinking that this would probably take some time, Feng Yi asked Xiao Ding to prepare portable beach chairs for the investigators.

At the reef, Santos and his team members observed the marine iguanas as they climbed up the rocks one by one from the water. After careful testing several times, the marine iguanas were not found escaping. The team members took samples from them and brought them for testing.

"It looks like it fell from the cargo ship, but we still have to wait for the test results to be confirmed," said team member Gray.

"Yeah." Santos didn't say much. He took the instrument handed over by the case investigator and scanned the marine iguana.

If these marine iguanas have been injected with identity chips by protective tissue, then when the instrument scans, its corresponding identity code will appear.

"No chip response."

"It is very likely that it was bred illegally, and the possibility of it falling from a cargo ship has increased."

The scanning equipment was taken away by investigators, and Santos observed the marine iguanas carefully.

"I remember that after we seized the batch of smuggled animals, a herpetologist said that these artificially bred marine iguanas are more delicate. Even if they are returned to their original habitat, they may not be able to adapt and require wild training. That’s it. Then, what do these few in front of you count?”

Santos' eyes fell on a marine iguana that had just crawled onto a rock from the sea.

"It's amazing that they can live here so healthily for two or three days! They are so mentally strong and powerful. If only one of them can adapt, it can be attributed to individual characteristics. But all nine marine iguanas are the same This situation cannot be said to be an exception!"

Gray next to him said: "Perhaps these artificially bred varieties are more suitable for the environmental conditions here? For them, this is actually a comfort zone?"

Santos took off his suit jacket, looked at the sunshine in the sky, and then stretched out his hand to feel the temperature of the sea water.

"Maybe. Although they are both tropical areas, the place where the wild populations live has different climate characteristics from the small island of Fengyi."

Santos is only investigating the case. The differences in habits and physical fitness between breeding and wild species are not his top priority.

Quietly observing all the details around him, Santos came back to his senses, brushed his brown hair that was blown by the sea breeze, and walked towards Feng Yi's location. The smile under the sun is particularly sincere.

"Are you undergoing renovations here? What are the plans for this reef area?" Santos asked.

Feng Yi heard something in his words and did not answer directly: "What? What's wrong?"

"No, no, no, you did a very good job. I admire your professionalism very much!" Santos said. The eyes are quite sincere.

Feng Yi's expression was very calm.

Compared to the smiling face of the special team leader in front of him, Feng Yi still preferred to face Lao Yuan's serious face.

The person in front of me always felt like he was having some crooked idea.

Feng Yi doesn't judge people by their appearance. Santos can be the leader of the special task force and has the same rank as Lao Yuan, but he is not as easy to talk to as he seems on the surface. At this time, the changes in Santos' emotional information made him even more wary.

"To be direct, I am no stranger to your special team." Feng Yi said.

Santos clicked his tongue. Therefore, he doesn't like to deal with these people who are familiar with the rules. They are too difficult to fool. He hasn't even said what he has prepared.

"These marine iguanas have adapted very well here. What do you think?" Santos said with emotion.

Feng Yi had no expression on his face: "Are you targeting me?"

Santos denied: "No, of course not! Just a small suggestion. I really can't care about this place. Since they can survive, it's better to let nature take its course and let them continue to stay here."

If the island owner had any other identity, Santos would definitely not say this. But the current owner of the island under your feet is an expert certified by the Joint Security Bureau, so you don’t have too many worries.

This is his style of doing things, no matter what the process is or what the solution is, as long as the result is good,

This is beneficial in many ways. They solved the incident and the nine troubled marine iguanas were able to live happily in this new place, which was not a bad thing for Feng Yi. If the island owner does not reject it.

"Artificial breeding is difficult to handle. Take it back or send it to zoos, and some are sent to research centers. However, if the number is large, they may not be treated well. The tightening of funds has led to a lot of dirty transactions secretly, which cannot be investigated. ." Santos said.

"Is this something you can keep privately?" Feng Yi asked.

"No, it's not privately raised, nor casually. I remember you also raised a python?"

"It was a zoo adoption, in cooperation with the local zoo."

"Oh, then this is similar. The national conditions are different, and the handling methods are also different. We have to coordinate with the management, small things." Santos said.

Feng Yi didn't answer.

Santos continued to explain: "This major smuggling case involves a lot of things. We don't know what to do with the captive-bred animals. They may not have good results if they are sent to the zoo, and they may not be able to adapt to the wild."

Less than ten marine iguanas really don't account for much of the entire case. What he is making now is the optimal arrangement for these nine marine iguanas.

Feng Yi also weighed the pros and cons in his mind.

Santos: "I don't ask you to worry about raising them. If you don't mind, you just provide them with a place to live. Don't worry about the rest."

"Who will be responsible if the baby is gone?" Feng Yi asked.

"I."

Santos can still afford this little thing.

"Otherwise, these nine marine iguanas should be kept here for a while, and we can deal with them after the case over there is over. Oh, you can take advantage of this time to observe them, and maybe you can write a paper." Santos said.

Feng Yi: "..."

"If you decide to keep them, the procedure is very simple. Just register. With your current rank, the procedure is even simpler. I will send someone to implant chips into them, and the ID code can be scanned with an instrument to identify the identity. This is just like a car license plate. As long as a series of registration procedures that meet the regulations are completed, there may be an annual inspection or other inspections, but most of the time it will not be taken care of."

"I need to think about it." Feng Yi said.

"Of course, I'm just giving a suggestion. It's up to you whether to accept it or not."

Santos and others continued to work on the reef beach, and Feng Yi saw Xiao Xin walking over not far away.

Whether or not to keep these nine marine iguanas, Feng Yi's main consideration was Xiao Xin's psychological condition.

"These are most likely illegally bred marine iguanas. Their bodies are not as good as those of wild species, but they are in very good condition now."

Xiao Xin smiled: "They can adapt well."

Feng Yi told him Santos's suggestion just now.

"What do you think? Is it troublesome?"

"No, it's not troublesome." Xiao Xin said.

He does prefer marine life, and marine iguanas are an acceptable species.

Compared to animals like cats and dogs, the scary-looking marine iguana made him feel closer.

Feng Yi also smiled and said: "Then let it continue to live here."

Thinking of something else, Feng Yi asked him:

"Xiao Xin, do you want to show your love for those particularly high-end magazines?"

"Boss, are you talking about writing an academic journal article?"

"……right."

"In no mood!"

For example, for people who like pet cats and dogs, do they keep them just to write papers? !

The boss led him to chat for a while about the arrangement of marine iguanas. Before ending the topic, Xiao Xin raised his feet and was about to leave, but then paused.

After hesitating, Xiao Xin still asked: "Boss, what you just said about writing a thesis was just a joke, right? Do I need to write a thesis?"

"Don't write it." Feng Yi said.

Xiao Xin breathed a sigh of relief. That's good.

In his opinion, the reason why the nine marine iguanas that came from afar are able to survive here is mostly due to the more active seawater. The seaweed growing on the underwater reefs is also more active, allowing them to swim faster. Get used to it better here.

If he really wanted to write an academic paper, how should he explain it?

Fortunately, the boss was just joking.

Otherwise, an honest person like him really doesn’t know how to make it up.

Xiao Xin ran back to his temporary residence. He knew that the boss kept those marine iguanas largely because of his consideration for the island defender. He wanted to ask some colleagues about this.

After all, he is not alone on the island. In addition to his boss, there are other colleagues.

It was rare for Xiao Xin to take the initiative to talk to someone, so Xiao Jia and the others were quite surprised. However, after listening to Xiao Xin's words, several people's expressions were all the same subtle.

"Why this expression? Don't you like marine iguanas? They don't actively attack people. Moreover, if there is enough seaweed, they will always be vegetarian. They are not a threat to humans." Xiao Xin said.

"No, no, no, we have no worries at all." Xiao Jia said.

"That is?"

Xiao Jia cautiously looked around, and when he didn't find the housekeeper, he lowered his voice and said:

"You haven't visited the place where the boss lives, have you? The boss also raises koi very well!"

Xiao Xin was puzzled: "Is there any necessary logical relationship between this?"

Xiao A did not continue, but ran to find Xiao B: "A Bing, lend me your mobile phone."

Xiao C: "I won't borrow it! Don't even think about peeking into my privacy!"

Xiao Jia: "Don't be ridiculous, please dig out the Koi video."

Xiao Bing understood. I quickly flipped through the photo album on my phone and found the video with the best angle, which best highlighted the koi's plump figure and plump expression.

Xiao Xin didn't speak for a while while watching the video that came to his attention.

Why can someone raise a koi to look like this? !

"Uh... eating feed is different from eating seaweed." Xiao Xin said.

"Maybe."

Xiao Jia gave him a "you know" look.

Is it really the feed that makes you look like this?

Can eating seaweed prevent you from becoming obese?

Xiao Xin walked to a higher place and looked up in the direction of the reef beach.

It seems that I have seen the near future, and there are lazy pigs lying on the rocks basking in the sun on the reef beach.

I heard that in last month’s activity of guessing the updated word count, participating readers guessed relatively few, and there were still some who guessed 10,000 words. Are you serious?
