Chapter 149 Migratory Birds
Bifang was doing pull-ups when he heard the electronic sound and wiped the sweat off his face with a towel.

"Ten more days."
Bifang narrowed his eyes, picked up his phone, and checked the longitude and latitude marked on the taskbar. He found that there was no record of this island. It was indeed a deserted island.
Not surprising.
The Pacific Ocean is the ocean with the most islands on Earth, with a total of more than 20,000 islands , covering an area of 4.4 million square kilometers, accounting for 45% of the world's total island area. Among them, there are countless islands that have not been discovered by humans, so it is not surprising that there are no records.
After all, it is an S-level mission, so the difference must be reflected.
No records means no information to check, and the situation on the island is difficult to predict. Compared with previous missions that required a thorough understanding of the local environment before taking action, the difficulty has increased significantly.
Moreover, this mission is different from the previous ones. It is no longer about survival, but survival.
There is a significant difference between survival and survival. The most important thing about survival is to escape from danger. Many emergency measures can be taken, such as eating raw food. Although there are risks, this risk can be taken when necessary.
Those viewers who keep talking in front of the screen about how eating raw food will infect you with parasites, that you can't eat it, that you'll die if you eat it, etc., won't survive a day if they are thrown into the wilderness.
Survival is different. It involves more considerations and higher requirements. You must make choices based on the overall situation of the body in order to adapt yourself to the environment. But once you adapt, it will be easy. It is much simpler than surviving in a constantly changing environment.
The two have different focuses, and the key to survival lies in whether a stable living environment can be built in the previous week.
But you can’t carry any tools. This is something you need to learn from Mr. De.
Bifang was not very happy about it. He felt embarrassed to strip naked for a live broadcast. Fortunately, the system said that he only needed to wear necessary clothes. So he could wear shorts, right?
As for the difficulty of the mission, Bifang saw that after R level should be S level, and there must be S4, S3, S1...
The smaller the number, the greater the difficulty.
Unable to carry tools, and with no skill coupons or upgrade coupons in the store, Bifang planned to use all his points for the lottery.
After deducting taxes from the income from the live broadcast the day before yesterday, Langya has already earned it, which can be converted into points, a total of more than 300 points. In addition, Island B has also gradually increased by about 100 points. Adding it all up, Bifang now has a total of 1,842 wilderness points.
If I save up for two more days, ten consecutive draws will be enough for four times.
Just when Bifang was about to turn the turntable, his cell phone rang.
Bifang answered the phone: "Professor Gu? What's the matter? Is the name I thought of last time not right?"
After seeing the caller clearly, Bifang immediately thought about whether there was any problem with the name he submitted the day before.
Bismarck's crocodile.
Simple but profound. Anyone who wants to study this creature will immediately think of its discoverer.
Was this rejected?
Gu Qingyuan scratched his head and said, "Well, it's not about the name. The name is good. We already call each other that in private."
"What's the problem?"
"It's like this. I have a French friend who wants to talk to you. I don't know what it is, but he must meet you. Is it convenient for you? If possible, can you tell me the address? He wants to visit in person."
"Professor Gu's friend?"
"Yes, he is also a professor who studies birds. Of course, if you are not available, I will reject him now."
Gu Qingyuan acted as a matchmaker out of kindness, as he still owed Bifang a favor. If Bifang didn't want to, there was nothing he could do.
Similarly, Bifang was also confused. Why did all these professors come to me one by one?
When did I become so popular?
Forget it. I'm free these two days anyway, so it won't hurt to meet him when I have time.
"No, just let him come to me."
After telling the address and agreeing to meet tomorrow, Bifang hung up the phone, looked at the spinning wheel in front of him, and waved it away.
Let’s meet first, there’s no rush for the lottery.
The next day, Bifang met the old friend that Gu Qingyuan mentioned - a middle-aged man who looked tired from traveling. To his surprise, the man spoke fluent Chinese when he opened his mouth!
"Hello, Mr. Bi, I am Erwan Mendy, a visiting professor at the University of Paris. You can just call me Erwan."
Elwan, with messy hair, took off his hat and bowed to Bifang.
Bi Fang was just about to compliment the other party on his good Chinese, but he didn't expect Elwan to not even say hello. He just introduced himself and then hurriedly stated his purpose.
"Mr. Bi, time is running out. I'll just say it straight. There's a group of migratory birds that need your acupuncture!"
Elwan spoke so quickly and urgently that Bifang could hardly hear clearly.
He was stunned for two seconds, very confused.
What is it that requires acupuncture?
Why insult people when you're just talking about business?
I'm not Wu Qian, how can I use acupuncture?
I don’t even know how to do proper acupuncture?
"Wait a minute, Mr. Elwan, tell me clearly, what do you mean by acupuncture? I don't know how to do acupuncture? Did you find the wrong person? If you want to find an old Chinese doctor, you can go out and look for a telephone pole. There may be contact information on it."
Elwan was also confused. He had learned Chinese from Gu Qingyuan. Older professors always have an accent, which led to Elwan being misled. It took him a long time to realize what Bifang was saying.
"Hey, it's not acupuncture, it's saving! Saving lives! Now there is a group of migratory birds that need your saving!"
Oh, I see.
Bifang understood, but not completely.
What does bird migration have to do with him?
But out of politeness, Bifang still stepped aside and invited Elwan to come into the house for a detailed discussion.
As soon as they entered the house, Bifang poured Elwan a glass of water.
Elwan was very thirsty after traveling all the way, so he gulped down a glass of water in two gulps, then opened his backpack, took out a large map with many markings and a stack of photos, and prepared to get straight to the point.
"Mr. Bi, do you know the white-fronted goose?" Erwan opened the photo and handed it to Bifang, pointing at the creature on it. "This animal is a second-class protected animal in your country."
Bifang took the photos and looked through them one by one. They were all birds that looked like swans.
Pure white cheeks and dark gray-brown feathers, yes, it is the white-fronted goose.
As an investigator in his previous life, Bifang was of course familiar with this creature and had conducted a special migration survey on it, from south to north, across the entire China, in order to study the population changes of the white-fronted goose.
This bird is a winter migratory bird in China.
They leave their breeding grounds in late August and early September every year and migrate to their wintering grounds, usually arriving in China in late September or early October. They migrate in large numbers in mid-to-late October, or at the latest in early November.
Migration mainly takes place at night, with the birds stopping during the day to feed and rest.
But because of human hunting and habitat destruction, it has now become a second-level protected animal.
"So what exactly did Mr. want to do by coming to see me?" Bifang put away the photo and looked at Elwan.
Elwan unfolded the large map and pointed at the densely packed markings and the exceptionally clear red line on it, his tone serious.
"I want you to help them migrate!"
