The excitement of Team 6 upon encountering a three-meter king cobra was indeed exhilarating.
When Professor Zhou changed the route on a whim, he indeed faced some pressure, and there were those at the base who opposed the decision. The expedition route had been established after discussions among several experts, so a last-minute alteration was bound to upset some people.
However, Professor Zhou believed that taking an alternative route after resupply would be beneficial, considering the climate, environmental factors, geographic conditions, and experiences summarized from the expedition. He thought that the new route might yield greater rewards.
Despite the opposition, as the leader of the expedition, Professor Zhou had the final say, and those at the base with objections could do nothing about it.
Now, Professor Zhou was brimming with confidence, and he communicated with the base without showing any weakness.
Professor Zhou was very satisfied!
