At the square intersection on the south side of the hotel area, a small farewell event was taking place.
Miss Lizi was not a member of the rescue team, but a volunteer who came here on her own initiative. The park showed her enough respect for her departure. The president, who was very busy, personally came to see her off, affirmed her contribution to the reserve, and presented her with a small badge.
The red heart-shaped badge with a white rhino logo in the center was unique to the Ol Pejita Conservancy. Yuan Xiaoxiao put it on her chest very solemnly and bowed to the black old man.
Of course she didn't know that the old man had a lot of these things, a whole drawer full of them. They were wholesaled in Yiwu along with the souvenirs from the park, 50 cents each, and there were discounts for large quantities.
Nurse Kasaya and Liu Min, who were familiar with her, were also present. It was even harder for women to part. Kasaya held her hand and kept telling her something.
"Lizi," Liu Min walked forward with a smile, took out a small velvet bag from her pocket and put it into Yuan Xiaoxiao's hand.
"It's a pity that it's not in China, and the materials are limited. This is a formula I prepared to calm the nerves. Put it under your pillow when you sleep. It will help you calm your mind."
"Arigato!!"
Yuan Xiaoxiao took it with both hands and bowed slightly with a serious face: "Doctor Liu, Senior Kasaya, I'm sorry to have troubled you during this period!"
The jeep carrying the little girl gradually drove away, and two guards followed in the car, escorting "Lizi" safely to the airport.
In the woods in the opposite direction, another farewell was taking place.
A group of chimpanzees surrounded a few people and walked towards the road at the edge of the forest. Wang Ping was still sitting on Bo's shoulders, holding the chubby baby chimpanzee in his arms.
By this time, the little gorilla had become familiar with a badger. He was not obedient at all. He either turned his neck over to look for lice or pulled his ears and stuffed them into his mouth. Wang Ping did not get angry and let the little guy do whatever he wanted.
Unlike the fishy smell he had imagined, the baby gorilla smelled of milk and its fur was very clean, obviously because its mother cleaned it regularly. This moment of peace and harmony made Wang Ping sigh that if he were still a human, it would be nice to find a wildlife sanctuary and be a sweeper when he got older.
When they reached the roadside, a badger reluctantly returned the little fellow to Laura, and got into the car under the gaze of a group of gorillas. Sanger started the car, but the jeep did not turn, but continued to move forward.
Wang Ping didn't want to go back so early, and neither did Gu Laosan.
Several batches of animals were released into the wild today, and although the time had passed, a certain salted fish still asked Sangge if he knew the specific location, hoping to go over and join in the fun.
Now the two of them can communicate without any obstacles, of course only on WeChat. The young man told him that the escorting convoy had returned. But he could take him and the badger to see it according to the previous tour route. There were no tourists at the moment, only their group, and no one would disturb them.
Gu Lang had a propaganda mission and had been hanging around in the clinic before, so he had never seen the entire reserve. Upon hearing this, he immediately decided to go to the nearest place to take a look.
The other two forest rangers were about to go back, but after hearing about the two's plan, they thought about it and joined the team again. Of course, this was not laziness, but mainly because they were worried that Sangge alone could not guarantee the safety of a salted fish.
The area outside the chimpanzee sanctuary is a little special, mainly because once you pass the fence, there is no distinction between carnivores and herbivores like here. It is not uncommon to encounter lions or leopards on the road.
In other words, in fact, only the chimpanzee shelter and the white rhino shelter are the most special and semi-enclosed areas within the reserve. Otherwise, the forest rangers would not have discovered the Jin soldiers who broke into the reserve so quickly.
The closest place is a vast grassland, where impalas, buffaloes, zebras, warthogs, etc. live, and sometimes you can even see grassland elephants. Of course, due to their distribution and movement, you may not see them all, or you may not see anything at all.
The jeep drove less than 2 kilometers before it encountered an outer iron fence, leaving only the road. On one side there was a guardhouse with a forest ranger on duty. Of course, everyone knew that this iron fence could protect against animals, but not people.
After passing through the iron fence, a vast expanse of yellow-green grass and wild flowers dotted the grassland. Occasionally, there were isolated large trees with bare trunks and only branches and leaves on the top of the treetops.
The towering Mount Kenya overlooks the vast land, and there are lakes of all sizes along the way, showing the rich landforms of water and grass. In the distance, you can see animals running by, but it is too far away to tell whether it is an antelope or a wild deer.
Gu Lang looked at Wang Ping inexplicably, and the scene in front of them was somewhat familiar, and it was obvious that he remembered the scene when he first saw it in the Maasai grassland. However, the environment at that time was much more cruel, and they always had to face sudden dangers from time to time. It was not as beautiful as here.
Except for the "big brother", the other "brothers" of the African grasslands are not within the scope of the reserve. Especially the "second brother" and the flat-headed brother, they can't even get in. This place was originally intended to provide a shelter for rare animals, not a canteen for some "ruffians".
However, Sangge told Gu Lang not to think that this place was really safe, it was just relatively less cruel. In fact, there were many predators in this area, including lions and leopards.
So the salted fish looked at Wang Ping again, but the image of another big cat emerged in his mind.
Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Tanzania.
The dusty room was opened again, and a figure approached with a cough, raising his arm to fan the dust in front of him.
After the mission was completed, the security team returned to the base in the Ngoro Conservation Area. While replenishing their supplies, they would also stay here for a while as a routine. The main purpose was to find out the route that the Jin soldiers took to cross the border from here, so as to prevent other poachers from using it again.
A bearded captain sat on a chair outside, his legs on the table, talking to Luke. The last security team stationed here was Team 3, and they had to hand over some situations to Luke.
Because they were familiar with the environment here and had no combat missions, the team members were very relaxed and people could be heard laughing and joking in the yard from time to time.
On the northwest side of the stronghold, on a tall mulberry tree, green eyes looked through the tree canopy at the team in the yard. The aura and attire of these humans were not friendly, but the behavior of these people at the moment brought back other memories.
The leaves swayed slightly, and the golden figure with black spots disappeared without making any sound.
At the terminal of Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, a white woman in a black dress and flaxen braids was queuing for security check with a small suitcase. However, after a while, the woman came out again with the suitcase in her hand, looking angry.
"Son of a bitch!"
Yuan Xiaoxiao's teeth were about to break, and she was shaking with anger. She held the corner of the passport in her hand, and her nails turned white because she was holding it too tightly.
The passport looked normal on the outside, but when you opened it, you would find that the paper inside had been soaked in some indescribable liquid and turned yellow, with several pages stuck together. There was a small hole where the photo should be, like a smiley face, which looked particularly ironic.
Not only that, this familiar scene also made Yuan Xiaoxiao uncover some doubts that had been hidden in her heart. Thinking of the evil badger, Yuan Xiaoxiao's expression became crazy.
No matter how hard we tried, we still couldn't stop that bastard's revenge.
"Just wait for me!"
"Woof~" A patrolling police dog suddenly stared at someone and barked for no apparent reason. Yuan Xiaoxiao was startled and hurried away.
