The Survival

Liu Yong's intimate knowledge of Ink Lake Park enabled him to navigate.

He promptly drove his vehicle to the lake and carefully selected the optimal spot for his intended purpose.

Thanks to his familiarity with the park's layout and surroundings, he could make an informed decision with various factors such as the view, lighting, and accessibility of the chosen location. This place is in a remote location, there is no camera, and there is no one. The nearest street light is still tens of meters away, and the sunlight is dim. It is even closer to the lake, and the straight-line distance is less than ten meters.

Liu Yong parked the car, opened the trunk, and then communicated with the snapping turtle, asking it to come and get in the car.

Within two minutes, a snapping turtle, more significant than a millstone, came out of the lake. The snapping turtle weighing more than 100 kilograms, looked majestic and terrifying.

If someone else sees it, they would be collapsed or faint.

In this scenario, Liu Yong harbours no fear or trepidation, as the creature in question is his beloved pet. However, his primary concern lies in the possibility of other individuals happening upon the scene and witnessing his peculiar companion.

The potential for others to encounter his pet fills Liu Yong with unease, as he values his privacy and does not wish to attract undue attention or scrutiny from passersby.

Despite his unwavering affection for his animal companion, Liu Yong understands that not everyone may share his fondness for such a creature and fears the consequences that may arise from any unwanted attention.

So, Liu Yong couldn't help but look around and was relieved when he saw no one everywhere.

  " Hurry up and get in the car. "  Liu Yong said.

Hearing the order, it moved faster and smoothly climbed into the car's trunk.

The snapping turtle is already massive. Fortunately, the trunk of this car is relatively large, so there is no big problem loading it. If it grows more extensive in a few days, it may be unable to hold it. Liu Yong needs to find a small truck.

After the snapping turtle got into the car, Liu Yong covered it with old clothes that were no longer needed to prevent it from being seen. Liu Yong told it not to move around.

After covering it with those old clothes, closing the trunk door, and looking around again, confirming that no one was there, he sighed.

-HUH!

Liu Yong felt more relaxed.

  " It's much easier than when you came here, and you can communicate with snapping turtles while driving. "  Liu Yong thought while going back.

  " Master, where are you taking me ? "  The turtle asked.

  " I have always wanted to take you to the sea, but the water in the sea is salty, so I am bit worried about whether you could adapt to such an environment ",  Liu Yong said with a bit of concern.

  " It might work. "  The turtle replied.

Hearing this, Liu Yong was slightly pleasantly surprised. What worried him most was that the snapping turtle would not adapt to the seawater environment, but it said it should be able to, so Liu Yong felt a little relieved.

  " It would be great if it could! A vast sea is a good place! and I have to get there soon as fast as possible "  Liu Yong thought.

-Wungg!

However, Liu Yong had to slow down the speed of the car. There were the inspectors at the gate of the park checking the vehicles.

  " No, when have they started to check? They didn't check before. "  Liu Yong thought, dumbfounded.

It is a new rule. Ever since the woman released an enormous crocodile in Ink Lake, the park inspectors have started to check the vehicles entering and leaving. At least during the day, it is better because the inspection is stricter at night.

Liu Yong was also lucky. When he came in, the staff changed shifts, and no one checked here for a few minutes.

Slowed down the speed of the car and drove slowly towards the gate.

  " They must not turn around. I hope they will not find the giant snapping turtle in the trunk. "  Liu Yong prayed from inside.

  " Don't move. Hide "  Liu Yong communicated with the turtle through his mind skill-sharing attribute.

Confessed the snapping turtle, they drove to the gate, but a white car was parked in front of them, which was being checked where next was Liu Yong's turn.

Finally, Liu Yong's turn came. The staff member signalled to drive ahead.

Liu Yong didn't even notice that his palms were full of sweat.

  " No way, I'm too nervous. "  Liu Yong said to himself.

The car stopped in front of the gate, and Liu Yong put down the window, trying to calm himself down, smiling all over his face.

A park staff member looked into the car and saw only one person in the car, and the trunk could not be seen clearly.

  " Hello, Sir, please open the trunk and let us have a look. "  The staff/inspector said.

  " I have nothing in the trunk, basically empty, only a few old clothes. "  Liu Yong said.

  "Sir, please cooperate with our work. "  The staff insisted.

Liu Yong didn't move in the car. He seemed hesitant, knowing it might be exposed once he opened the trunk.

  " Try your luck, in case they just take a look, as long as they don't take off those old clothes, and the light is relatively dark at night, they may be able to get away with it. "  Liu Yong's intuition said to himself.

With this in mind, Liu Yong opened the door and exited the car, ready to open the trunk, but suddenly someone stopped as someone recognized Liu Yong.

-Hell, Gosh! Liu Yong said in his lowest voice.

That is the leader here. A few days ago, Liu Yong caught an enormous crocodile. This leader happened to have met Liu Yong, and he was impressed by the action of Liu Yong and Hu Shijun.

  " Mr. Liu, it's you! "  He said in surprise. 

Liu Yong glanced at the leader, seemed to have an impression, and soon clearly remembered that he had met him a few days ago.

  " Section Chief Liao,  it's you! "  Liu Yong happily said.

  " Mr. Liu, why are you here? "  The chief asked.

Liu Yong found a random reason and said,  " I drove out to relax here at park, and when I was about to leave, but here cars were being checked, so its my turn. " 

Section Chief Liao told his subordinates:

  " There is no need to check. The big crocodile was caught by Mr. Liu a few days ago. Let him go ! " 

-Hump!

  " He caught the enormous crocodile ? "  The other staff couldn't help but look at Liu Yong a few more times. The park team has been discussing this matter, and now they finally see Liu Yong in real.

One of the staff quickly opened the bar to let him pass. Liu Yong got into the car and happily waved to Section Chief Liao and others.

Finally drove out of Ink Lake Park.

  " It was so dangerous just now! "  Liu Yong said to the turtle.

Never expected to face such a situation, Liu Yong sighed a sigh of relief.

Feeling much more relaxed, he concentrated on driving to the destination near the Qingjiang River's mouth. The specific location has been confirmed during the day.

The car's speed could have been faster, and it took 40 to 50 minutes to get there.

In order not to let anyone see, Liu Yong got out of the car first and did not rush to open the trunk to let the snapping turtle out but looked around.

After confirming that no one was around, Liu Yong opened the trunk and brought the covered old clothes.

  " The place is here, and the sea is ahead! "  Liu Yong said to the turtle.

With a glance at its surroundings, the turtle wastes no time and moves towards its destination with purposeful determination.

Despite the potential obstacles and challenges, the snapping turtle's determination and enthusiasm remain steadfast, propelling it forward with speed and agility.

As it moves closer to its destination, the turtle's movements become more fierce and intense, driven by an innate sense of urgency and excitement.

Whether spurred on by instinct or sheer joy, the snapping turtle's journey is one of unwavering determination and steadfast commitment.'

This speed is surprising. It is faster than an adult and rushes into the sea in the blink of an eye.

Liu Yong thought in his heart,  " can it adapt to the seawater environment? "
