Nearly three hours had passed from the time Gu Lang's live broadcast location was determined to the time the helicopter appeared over the forest.
Although the speed of a helicopter flying at low altitude cannot be too high, otherwise there is a risk of stalling, it is too exaggerated to fly a straight distance of less than 20 kilometers for three hours. The reason for the delay was still Gu Lang.
The gunshots in the live broadcast room were not only heard by netizens, but also by Zhang Jianming, who had been trying to contact Gu Lang through the live broadcast room, and the officers who were with him and were planning to follow him for the rescue.
As a result, when the helicopter was ready and about to take off, the officer asked to delay the take-off. The reason was that militants appeared over there and they needed to apply for weapons supplies and replenish ammunition and equipment.
Damn, replenish the ammunition! Zhang Jianming, who was eager to save people, was almost angry to death. The poacher's gun was about to reach Gu Lang's nose. Why delay the departure at this time
If he hadn't actually seen the accompanying soldiers arming themselves with real guns and live ammunition, he would have doubted the professional ethics of a certain commander. Unfortunately, Zhang Jianming was just an accompanying official from another country, and he was asking for help from him. Even if he really doubted it, he could only bear it for now. Not only did he have to endure it, but he also had to pretend that nothing had happened and try his best to build a good relationship with the other party.
At this moment, seeing that they were about to arrive at the scene of the incident, Zhang Jianming felt nervous and prayed that he was not too late.
Fortunately, although the picture in the live broadcast room was extremely bad, Gu Lang's voice could be heard occasionally after each freeze, proving that he was still alive and had not fought head-on with the poachers.
The rain was much lighter now, and although it was still drizzling, sunlight was already shining through the gaps in the clouds in the southeast, and the large rain clouds also turned and drifted to the south.
In terms of direction, the helicopter's route just passed through this cumulonimbus cloud and arrived at the east side of the Ngorongoro Crater.
"What's that in front of the left? Look!"
Zhang Jianming had been looking down all the way, and suddenly pointed to a valley two kilometers west of the forest and shouted through the headset.
The pilot and the officer in charge turned their heads and saw a group of elephants that seemed to be besieging something.
"Could it be Gu Lang?" Zhang Jianming was a little dumbfounded, but more worried. Forget about the poachers, when did this guy provoke the elephants again
"Maybe it's a poacher, go down and check!" the officer shouted.
"Sir! Look over here!"
At this time, a soldier sitting in the back row suddenly pointed at the edge of the forest and shouted.
Everyone's eyes shifted again, and they found that two "fat guys" were running out of the forest just below. However, after running a few steps, they stumbled and fell to the ground, and there was no movement anymore.
"Shagara, Davi, the two of you go down and check. If they are poachers, arrest them immediately! Then stay where you are!" The officer directly called out the names of the young man who had just spoken and another soldier.
The helicopter hovered over the two men who ran out of the woods, and then two soldiers named Shagara and Davi slid down the rope.
Then the helicopter turned and flew towards the herd of elephants.
Zhang Jianming was certain that this was where Gu Lang was broadcasting live, because on the plain below, a huge elephant tomb covered with branches and stones was right in front of him.
"Colonel, how do you plan to disperse the elephants?" Zhang Jianming asked the officer loudly.
Although he was called "Colonel", in fact, the highest-ranking commander in the Karatu garrison camp was only a lieutenant. The reason why he was called that was because his name was "Colonel".
It can also be seen here how much expectations the officer's parents have for him, but it also shows more how casual and unreliable the TSNY people are when it comes to naming.
“Oh, this is easy!”
Hearing Zhang Jianming's question, the officer "Colonel" smiled complacently, then took out his cell phone and looked it up, and said something to the pilot. Then, the pilot turned on the helicopter's radio microphone, switched it to external speaker, and handed it to the officer.
A buzzing sound like that of a bee came from the mobile phone and was transmitted downward through the helicopter's loudspeaker.
“Is this all right?” Zhang Jianming’s brain was a little confused. The name was unreliable, but how could even the method be so unreliable
"Haha! Zhang, it seems you don't know much about elephants!" The colonel explained with a smile, "Elephants are very afraid of bees because the tip of their noses is very sensitive. Once stung by a bee, their sense of smell and touch are destroyed, and even eating becomes difficult. So when they encounter bees, elephants will definitely avoid them. We use the sound of the bees to scare them away."
"Okay! I hope it works." Although he understood the logic, Zhang Jianming was still a little skeptical.
The sound of the helicopter's propellers and the loud beeping of the loudspeaker gradually approached, and the herd of elephants began to become agitated.
After a stalemate for a while, the leading female elephant finally began to lead the team away.
In the forest on the other side, Gu Lang and Wang Ping looked at each other, and even Xiao Hua couldn't help but shudder. Damn it, where did such a large swarm of bees come from? Did this helicopter just poke a hornet's nest
When the helicopter landed on the open space nearby, Zhang Jianming was the first to jump down.
When I saw the scene in front of me, my heart immediately sank.
Two pickup trucks were parked in this small valley away from the wind. One of them had been dismantled into parts, and the body had been trampled into a piece of metal. The other one, although still in its original shape, had broken glass all around, and was lying on the ground with its four wheels facing upwards, with the cab dented.
"Ahh..."
As if sensing the elephants leaving, a groaning sound was heard from the car.
“Hurry up and save them!”
Zhang Jianming was about to run over, but was suddenly grabbed by the colonel behind him.
With a wave of his hand, the other three soldiers who got off the helicopter ran over, one stood guard with a gun, and the other two began to try to flip over the car body.
"Zhang, you are too impulsive. This may not be the person you are looking for." The colonel smiled and pointed to an object on the ground.
Zhang Jianming turned his head and saw a shotgun with the barrel stepped into a right angle, lying quietly in a footprint.
"Oh! Oh! Be gentle! My leg is broken!"
A slightly childish voice suddenly sounded from the car, and then Zhang Jianming saw a black guy being roughly pulled out of the deformed car door by a soldier.
"Sir!"
Another soldier looked up and shouted. Zhang Jianming and the colonel looked over and saw the soldier moving an ivory tusk behind the scrapped car. There was no need to interrogate him, the identity of the black man in front of him was already clear.
"Ha! Poacher!"
The colonel sneered, pulled out the pistol from the holster at his waist, walked forward, and pointed the gun at Edith, who luckily survived.
"Don't kill me! I'll tell you everything! Tuka brought me here! I don't know the leader, I just know his nickname is Scar. I didn't kill anyone! I was only responsible for watching the car! They are the ones who want to kill!" Facing the black muzzle of the gun, Edith's legs went soft and he knelt on the ground without hesitation. He kowtowed to the colonel and tears began to stream out of his eyes.
Zhang Jianming rolled his eyes behind the officer and shook his head helplessly. Damn, he kowtowed so smoothly, didn't he say his leg was broken
"Wuwu... Uncle!" Edith kowtowed, crying and shouting with snot and tears: "I won't dare to do it again, please forgive me this time! I'm only seventeen years old, I'm still a child!"
"snort!"
The colonel suddenly stepped forward and kicked Edith's tear-stained face, knocking him over. He then bent over and slapped the young man hard, causing blood to flow from the corner of his mouth. He then grabbed his collar, pulled him up from the ground, and said coldly, "Kid? Do you think this is China? Cuff him!"
A soldier came forward, grabbed the small dreadlocks behind the crying and struggling Edith's head, pulled him over and pressed him to the ground, then stepped on his neck from behind and twisted his arms. A soldier who had already taken out handcuffs came forward and handcuffed his hands, which were still twitching.
Turning around and seeing Zhang Jianming with a big mouth and a weird look on his face, the colonel shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly: "This kid really deserves a beating. I'm only 30 years old and he actually calls me uncle!"
Zhang Jianming rolled his eyes and complained in his heart, "You look so mature that calling me uncle is really a kid!"
At this time, the intercom on the colonel's chest rang, and a report from two soldiers in another direction came from it.
After listening for a while, someone seemed a little surprised. His big black and white eyes blinked, and he turned to look at Zhang Jianming. It was unclear whether he wanted to laugh or not. After thinking for a while, he said, "The identities of the two people who ran out of the forest have been confirmed. They were both carrying guns and were poachers. However... they seemed to have been attacked by bees and were stung to the point of shock."
"bee?"
Zhang Jianming subconsciously looked back at the helicopter that was still playing the sound of the bee swarm. The cute image of the little bee in his mind gradually became hideous.
The bees in Africa... are so cruel
