I Really Didn’t Want To Make A Lot Of Money

As night fell, the team camped on the banks of the cave valley.

Chen Ling mixed the two guards and divided them into three teams to watch the night at different times.

The night in Garamba Park is as lively as the day, and the animals that are active at night are attracted by the bright light of the camping ground, quietly approaching and peeping in secret.

William put forward very strict animal protection requirements.

As long as animals do not attack humans, no one can disturb or threaten animals.

"We broke into their homes without authorization, and if we make the mistake first, we should respect the owner even more."

William has put wild animals on an equal footing with humans. Not only is he like this, but the professional animal protection professionals in the team basically have this attitude.

The lieutenant didn't care at all about it. According to him, he and his soldiers have lived on this land since they were young, and they are also the owners of this land.

He originally wanted to get some game and roast it, but he was severely reprimanded by William. At this time, he was eating dry food.

"The people under me fired a warning first, and if the warning is not retreated, we will shoot." He took out his pistol and made two gestures toward the sky.

Chen Ling hid in the tent, regardless of these things. He paid to stabilize the army of soldiers sent by the government, hired a guide, and the rest was to ensure the safety of the army.

However, William did not give him a chance to stay out of the matter.

He called Chen Ling outside the tent to discuss tomorrow's work arrangements.

Chen Ling showed his head from the tent and said, "For such a professional thing, you can discuss it. I don't understand."

William squatted halfway, putting himself at the same level as Chen Ling, and said, "You speak usefully, and everyone is willing to listen to you. With you, they don't dare to talk nonsense."

William put a high hat on Chen Ling.

"Oh, I'm paying for the crime."

Chen Ling got out of the account and said, "William, I don't understand anyway, what you say I will support you, okay?"

William smiled and said: "White Wizard, the incarnation of justice, I want to follow you."

"The identity of the white wizard doesn't work for dollars here." Chen Ling smiled. "Fortunately, I had expected it and brought some cash."

The lieutenant and the two guides saw Chen Ling coming. They were sitting loosely on the ground. They immediately stood up and greeted each other with smiles in the light of the uncertain fire, and they all claimed to call "the boss."

Chen Ling nodded and said, "I'll pay you to come. You must obey Mr. William's arrangement."

"Yes, boss!" several people said in unison.

With his back facing the fire, Chen Ling sat down against a small tree, and the others formed a circle spontaneously.

With Chen Ling's backing, William began to fine-tune tomorrow's work.

He focused on logistics and safety. This camping site by the river is temporary. After dawn, it moved to the depths of Garamba Park, close to the area where the rhinos appeared last time.

He consulted the two guides.

Surprisingly, it was the young guide who was speaking.

He thinks that tomorrow will be divided into two roads, all the way to the north, responsible for relocating the camp; the other way to the northeast, to check where another rhino may appear, so as to save time.

The young guide was clear and logical, and Chen Ling thought he was worth fifty dollars a day, so he couldn't help but glance at him more.

William asked the older guide's opinion again.

"I have no opinion, what he said is what I said." The older guide said, without any concerns about face.

William and his teammates discussed for a while and decided to adopt the young guide's opinion, although it was the first time I heard of another rhinoceros where it might appear.

No way, blame the official who only collects money and doesn't do anything.

"Mr. Chen, which way are you going?" William asked.

"I walked closer, and two VIP ladies would go with me." Chen Ling said.

Trekking in the wild is very physically demanding. Although Liu Ya and Charlotte have good physical fitness and play lightly, Chen Ling doesn't think they should follow another team around the circle.

The distance is too long, it may take a long night.

Chen Ling's opinion was right in William's arms. The representatives of the two gold masters must have nothing to do, and following the white wizard is the most appropriate arrangement.

"The security personnel are also divided into two groups." Chen Ling said again, "Lieutenant, your people and the security personnel are mixed together and divided into two teams. You lead one team, and I lead the other team."

Everyone has no opinion on this.

"So, how about the two guides, are they split into two?" Lisa asked a question.

William was about to ask for advice, and the older guide had already raised his arm: "In two ways, I will go with the boss."

The young guide didn't speak, his eyes didn't know where to look.

Chen Ling saw him hesitate to speak with the light of the fire.

...

...

Nothing happened overnight.

In the early morning, when the two teams packed their belongings and were about to set off, they were stopped by a group of "children" who didn't know where they came from.

The appearance and clothing of the "children" gave Chen Ling a feeling of deja vu.

They are very similar to the pygmies who were near Miyako Falls, but each is shorter.

Liu Ya and Charlotte saw them for the first time. They were very strange. They took out a few boxes of food and gave them to them.

Chen Ling stopped them and said, "They are not children, and they are unclear. Don't act rashly."

Liu Ya smiled and said, "I know, they are pygmies, a unique race in the tropical rain forests of Africa."

Chen Ling recalled what he had experienced with Lyudmila, and a bad premonition came to his mind again.

The older guide who had communicated with him in the past came back and said, "Boss, they are not Pygmies, they are Mbati. The short guys here secretly watched us all night last night..."

"Didn't our people find out?" Chen Ling frowned, and William next to him also changed his complexion. Chen Ling's security captain suddenly became nervous.

The older guide smiled: "It's too normal, no one can find their whereabouts at night."

"Why did they stop us? We are in a hurry." William asked, looking at the sky, his expression impatient.

William's patience for humans is obviously not as good as for animals. Today's plan is to take advantage of the cool temperature early in the morning, and we can't delay.

"Mr. William, the Mbati people live in the forest and are the real masters here. They watched us all night and confirmed that we were not poaching before they decided to show up and talk to us."

The older guide said: "They said that a group of poachers had entered Garamba these days. Their targets were rhinos, elephants and bisons. Several elephants have been killed and sawed off their ivory. . They hope we can stop the group of poachers."

Everyone looked at Chen Ling and waited for him to make up his mind.

Poachers are mortal enemies of animal protection organizations, and there is no reason to stop them.

Today, however, the situation is complicated and there are too many non-combatants.

Chen Ling frowned and couldn't make up his mind.

He is not happy to face the poachers head-on, but if they are all directed at the rhino, he has to confront the poachers.

"Our target is the rhino. Do they know where the rhino is?" Chen Ling asked.

The older guide said: "I have asked, they don't know. But they are the best at finding animals in the forest. We can ask them to help us find rhinos."

Chen Ling thought for a while, and said: "We are still divided into two teams, one team goes to the next camp, the other team goes to the Rhino with the Mbati. Use satellite phones to keep in touch, and meet at the next camp before dark. ."

William agreed.

The Mbati also separated and joined two teams.

Chen Ling noticed that the weapons they used were very backward, spears and bows, but the sharp parts were strange in color. Chen Ling estimated that they were poisoned.

The food of Liu Ya and Charlotte was very popular, and the Mbati people on the same team quickly communicated with them.

Through the translation of the elderly guide, Chen Ling learned that the Mbati people's weapons were indeed smeared with narcotic drugs, which was their traditional hunting method.

The Mbati mainly rely on gathering and hunting to obtain food sources, but their hunting methods are backward and will not threaten the survival of local animal populations for countless years.

However, I don't know from which year, foreign hunters came with powerful weapons and hunted countless animals.

The Mbati people envied the weapons of these people at first, but later discovered that these hunters killed the animals not for food, but for the teeth, horns or feathers of the animals.

This is a complete destruction of nature.

From that time on, the Mbati people aimed their weapons at foreign hunters to protect their homeland.

However, the weapons are asymmetrical, the Mbati people cannot deal with these poachers, and the living environment is getting worse and worse. Even many Mbati people are shot and killed by poachers as prey.

At this moment, an Mbati stopped suddenly, lying on the ground, his nose trembling like a hunting dog.

After a while, he stood up, grunting in his mouth.

"The rhino passed by here today." The elderly guide translated.

Lisa cheered and asked, "Do you know where they are going?"

"Go in the direction we are heading."
