Wang Ping's guess was correct. At this time, a team of rescue workers was already on the way to Lake Ambler.
Zhang Jianming, a security officer of the Consular Department of the Chinese Embassy in TSNY, led a rescue team recruited from Dar es Salaam, where the embassy is located, to Handeni, a small town on the southeastern border of the Maasai Grassland, when he received a satellite call from the embassy. The embassy informed the rescue team that Gu Lang's exact location at this time was Lake Ambusel.
Considering that Gu Lang was accompanied by a ferocious beast, the rescue was somewhat difficult, so Zhang Jianming simply asked for help from the Handney Fire Department and borrowed a small civilian helicopter. The rescue team also brought a tranquilizer gun.
If Wang Ping and Gu Lang continued to stay near Lake Ambler, the rescue team would arrive in less than two hours.
However, seeing that the screen in the live broadcast room had gone black and Gu Lang's faint, unconfident voice was heard, many netizens were worried that Gu Laosan would die before rescue arrived.
When the screen suddenly went black, many netizens heard Gu Lang’s voice: “What are you doing!”
After that, although there were still sounds coming out, they were not clear. But it was obvious that Gu Lao San was in trouble.
On the shore of Lake Ambler, Gu Lang was squatting in front of the car with his hands on his head, like a thief who had just been caught by the police, with an extremely nervous expression.
The hyenas that followed behind seemed to be just stalking. Before they were sure that Gu Lang had set up camp, the hyenas would not appear again. This also gave Wang Ping enough time to deal with someone's identity issue.
After all this time, I realized that I had really underestimated this young man who looked a little stupid.
Xiaohua ran to the lake to drink water, and in the process scared away a group of small animals that had just come to drink water not far away. Gu Lang saw an animal that looked like a deer and a horse. The moment it saw Xiaohua, it was so scared that it turned sideways and almost fell into the lake.
Gu Lang wanted to laugh, but when he saw Wang Ping standing in front of him, he suppressed his smile and put on a submissive and aggrieved look.
"Hmph! Pretending! Keep pretending!" Wang Ping sneered in his heart, feeling depressed at the same time.
Wang Ping was struggling over what method to use to identify Gu Lang's true identity.
If it was in the team before, this kind of thing would be very simple. Although the name of the security team Wang Ping is in is a bit low, it is actually equivalent to an armed military force. There are five such security teams under the wap department. The deputy captain of the third team where Wang Ping is located, Jacob Brut, is also Wang Ping's leader. He is good at interrogating prisoners and identifying their identities.
Generally, when encountering tourists who trespass into the protected area in the wild, Jacob is responsible for identifying them.
Although everyone generally tries to capture poachers alive and then hand them over to the relevant departments for handling, the security team does not mind killing when encountering stubborn factions with strong armed forces.
After all, the existence of the security team was not very transparent, so their methods were naturally not very gentle. So Gu Laosan's sixth sense told him that Wang Ping wanted to kill him, which was naturally true.
But this thought only lasted for a moment.
After Wang Ping calmed down, he still couldn't decide the life and death of Gu Lang. Not only him, but anyone in the team would be embarrassed.
The security team is not a mercenary team, and they cannot attack ordinary people. Otherwise, it would be a joke to fight poachers in the name of justice. Both Captain Luke and Jacob have warned the team members more than once that people in this line of work can be ruthless, but they must not be disrespectful of life. Once a person becomes an executioner who kills indiscriminately, he is not far from destruction.
This is just like a lion that is too lazy to hunt unless it is hungry. This is a truth that even animals understand, but not all people understand.
How about leaving him here and taking Xiaohua away
As soon as this thought came to mind, Wang Ping dismissed it.
Not to mention the problem of being unhappy if the little brother he just recruited flew away again, just leaving Gu Lang alone by the lake would probably cause the animals that arrived one after another to take his life before the rescue team showed up.
In the final analysis, even if Gu Lang was the one who played the trick first, it was human nature. If I had put myself in Gu Lang's shoes, I would have gone even further, and I and Xiao Hua might have been turned into corpses.
Wang Ping has a good habit of thinking from other people's perspectives, because this can reduce a lot of conflicts. Of course, this habit only exists when Wang Ping is calm. When Wang Ping is angry, he will not think from other people's perspectives.
He couldn't kill him, but he couldn't let him go either. Looking at Gu Lang's aggrieved face, Wang Ping wanted to beat him up first to vent his anger.
After Xiaohua finished drinking the water, she ran to Wang Ping and started licking him. Wang Ping was caught off guard and was covered in Xiaohua's saliva.
"Go, go play somewhere else!"
Wang Ping pushed Xiaohua away impatiently, too lazy to pay attention to Gu Lang, and began to check the car inside and out.
There was a tablet computer with a broken screen on the dashboard. Wang Ping took a look and poked it. Gu Lang's eyes twitched as he watched the tablet computer being scrapped with a crisp shattering sound.
Without the Internet connection, Gu Lang was completely disconnected from Douyu's live broadcast room. The message "The host is offline" was displayed on the title of the live broadcast room.
"It's over"
"The anchor is dead"
“I’m afraid we’re in big trouble.”
"Have you called the police?"
“It’s no use calling the police.”
“I hope the anchor is okay.”
In the live broadcast room, which had gone black, most of the netizens had already left. There were also some fans who had been following Gu Lang from the beginning, who had kept the live broadcast room open and were following the development of the situation. Even if they could not do anything, as long as they were not indifferent, there was still some comfort.
Wang Ping continued to check in the car until he saw an external cable extending from the right side of the driver's seat and connected to the dashboard.
Stretch out your claws and poke!
"Hey, don't..."
Just as Gu Lang was about to speak out a reminder, he saw Wang Ping and Xiao Hua's heads, one big and one small, turned towards him at the same time.
"My ancestors!" Gu Lang no longer had time to admit defeat and shouted angrily, "That is connected to the car antenna! If you break it, we will have no network! Do you understand that there is no network? The map is useless, how can we go to where you want to go!"
"Is this how the Internet is connected? I'm not well educated, so don't lie to me!"
Wang Ping was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously looked at the in-car map. Sure enough, although the map was still displayed on the navigation system, the small arrow representing himself had disappeared.
"Hey, bosses, what did I do wrong? Can you give me a hint?" Gu Lang said with a sad face, "Let's not sabotage it anymore. If we break down the car, we won't be able to leave!"
"If I could think of a way to give you a hint, would you still need to tell me?"
Wang Ping wanted to roll his eyes, but unfortunately he didn't do it.
However, according to Gu Lang, the Internet was disconnected in the car, which made Wang Ping feel relieved for the time being. No matter what Gu Lang's true identity was, as long as the outside world couldn't contact him, he wouldn't be exposed so quickly. All the previous behaviors didn't matter.
There are at least 8,000 honey badgers on the African grasslands. If you have the guts, go find them one by one!
“Ding ding!”
After pressing the horn on the steering wheel, Wang Ping looked at Gu Lang with clear eyes.
"Boy, it's time to go!"
When the rescue team arrived at Lake Ambler, Gu Lang's off-road vehicle had already appeared deep in the grassland 70 kilometers away.
Along the way, Wang Ping took routes with dense grass and forests to cover up the traces of the car. After losing the navigation, Gu Lang was completely lost and could only drive in the direction Wang Ping pointed.
The helicopter hovered over Lake Ambler, and the rescue team members and Zhang Jianming went down to the ground to search. Gu Lang's tire tracks clearly told everyone that he had left here and went northwest.
"Zhang, the pilot said that if we continue to search, we don't have enough fuel. We must go back to Handini first and find a solution."
A black guy in camouflage uniform shouted loudly to Zhang Jianming in English.
"It looks like he's still alive!" Zhang Jianming thought about it and nodded in agreement. He cursed in his heart, where did this young man come from? He was too troublesome!
Under the gaze of the animals in the surrounding grass, the helicopter circled again and then flew away to the southeast.
After a while, there was a noise in the bushes, and a hyena appeared where Gu Lang had parked his car. Then, in the bushes behind it, one, two, and two more hyenas with hostility appeared one after another.
The leading hyena lowered its head and sniffed the ground, then looked in the direction the off-road vehicle left, raised its head and howled. The hyenas behind it all ran and continued to chase to the northwest.
