As the main leader of the research team, Chen Ying communicated with Dao Meihua's cousin and assigned the task of investigation to the local epidemic prevention and forestry management station. They would continue the stakeout for three more days, and if no discovery was made, infrared cameras would be left and the personnel would all withdraw.
The next step might be to go to the neighboring country's conservation station to continue searching for traces of the fishing cat.
It's a coincidence that the joint project at the base included ASEAN countries like Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam, but did not involve Laos, which borders Mengla. Yet, the main area of activity for Chen Ying and his team this time happens to be the less favored border area between Mengla and Laos.
