From arms dealer to king of war

Almost every poor country in Afika opens up part of its quota every year and relies on hunting some rare animals in exchange for foreign exchange.

Prices vary slightly from place to place. Choga has not inquired specifically about other places, but in national parks in Central Africa, a lion costs US$20,000, an elephant costs US$18,000, a hippopotamus costs US$10,000, and an antelope costs US$2,000...

You can take it away once you catch it. Except for things like ivory that are on the prohibited trade list and you have to find a way on your own, everything else has legal certificates for you.

The animal management departments of national parks in Central Africa have specialized people to help prepare animal specimens.

It is said that this industry can bring at least 2 million yuan in income to the Central African government every year and support thousands of people at the same time.

Qiao Jia studied veterinary medicine, but is not an avid animal advocate.

In his heart, everything must be compromised for human survival. Only when people live a good life can they be qualified to consider animal issues.

It is a good thing for him that China and Africa are willing to open hunting quotas. Otherwise, if the hunting guide company does not have this, it will become a poaching company.

Qiaojia, Nis, Antal, Dorian, and Ayo crowded into a small antelope and flew over the grasslands of Central Africa.

As human traces gradually faded away, the majesty of Central African nature gave Qiao Jia the ultimate shock.

Looking down from a high altitude, there is no scene of wild animals galloping around as people imagined. The scattered puddles and dots of animals actually give people a sense of tranquility.

Without human influence, time seems to have stopped here, but life continues here!

This place is called the "last pearl" by UNESCO. The green and vibrant scene covering the earth blows through the helicopter window like a strong wind and blows into Qiao Jia's chest, like a pot of strong wine, making him Getting drunk before drinking.

It's hard to describe that feeling. Just like when you first see the sea, you will feel that the boundless world makes you extraordinarily small. The boundless grassland will make people have the urge to run and shout wildly.

Qiao Jia deliberately suppressed the small antelope and drove a group of grazing gorals into a run.

The vigorous postures of those antelopes brought a strong breath of life, making the grassland suddenly come alive.

After Qiao Jia finished harassing the antelope, he moved the joystick to stir up another herd of elephants.

Seeing the huge bull elephant opening its ears angrily and raising its nose and roaring at him, Joga laughed and left there, flying towards Ndele in the northwest.

That was Choga’s destination on this trip, the National Park Service in Central Africa.

But during the flight, Qiao Jia saw an unharmonious sight on the green land.

An elephant fell dead on the ground, its entire face was opened, and two tusks were removed from the roots.

Poaching was not something that Qiaojia had any control over, but a newborn elephant wandering around the elephant carcass made Ayo gasp heavily in the back seat.

Dorian felt that the muscles on Ayou's arms had become knotted. He hesitated and said to Qiao Jia: "Boss, we..."

Qiao Jia glanced back, then nodded and said, "Let's go down."

The helicopter quickly landed on the grassland. From the sky, you can only see a patch of green, but after you actually land, you will find that the vegetation here is really incredibly lush.

Kaman did not come with him this time because he was responsible for supervising the distribution of the industrial chain in Sangha Town and ensuring the safety of Xiao Huang and the old professors. Therefore, Qiao Jia and the others focused their grassland operations on Ayou.

Because he had confirmed from the sky that no poachers were nearby, Ayo strode towards the elephant carcass as soon as he got off the plane.

She wrapped a piece of red cloth around the head of the baby elephant, who was obviously not very old. She knelt on the ground, hugged the baby elephant's neck, and rubbed it vigorously to comfort the baby elephant.

After the baby elephant calmed down a bit, Ayo pushed its neck to change its direction and walked into a patch of grass so that it would no longer circle around the elephant's carcass.

This was not the first time that Choga had seen poaching. He had seen a similar situation in Damazin, but the Dinka militia there was more vicious. They used gill nets to set up traps and trap the elephants. The herds rush into the trap and then slaughter them in droves to obtain the tusks.

Ivory is the most uneconomical commodity Qiao Jia has ever seen. Hunting such a large animal just for two animal teeth seems very boring to Qiao Jia.

If you sell the leather and bones together, Qiao Jia wouldn't think it's a big problem, but just for two teeth, what's the point?

No matter how gentle and moist the ivory is, it's just two fucking teeth!

As a guy who is preparing to take down the animal death quota in Central Africa, Qiao Jia has no moral standing to accuse these poachers. However, when the lives of animals here are bought out, those poachers are Qiao Jia's enemies.

Seeing a large number of flies clinging to the elephant's fleshy head, Qiao Jia shook his head, stood up straight and looked around, and found that there were predators approaching, but they were frightened by the movement of the helicopter. He left and is now wandering around, ready to come up and have a big meal at any time.

Ayo comforted the baby elephant and handed it over to Nice to take care of. Then he walked to the elephant's carcass. While circling the elephant's carcass, he pinched the fingers of his right hand together and kept bumping his chin. , chanting to the sky in a language that Qiao Jia could not understand.

After Ayu's 'ritual' was completed, she walked to the elephant's body, touched the elephant's belly, then pulled out a hunting knife and stabbed it in, tearing a wound with force.

Qiao Jia thought Ayu wanted to take something out of the elephant. Just when he was about to ask Dorian to help, Ayu stood up...

With both hands, she pulled out some internal organs that had a bit of an odor, and sprinkled them around the elephant carcass with a pious expression. Finally, she ended her weird ritual with a few weird syllables as a relief.

After Ayou's move ended, Qiao Jia instantly felt the commotion in the surrounding grasslands.

When the first wild dog with huge ears and a wretched appearance poked its head out from the grass, Ayo waved to the vigilant Qiao Jia and said, "Don't be afraid, they won't attack us. Let's get out of here."

Seeing Ayu rinse the blood on his hands with a water bottle with the help of Antar, and then leading Nice and the baby elephant through a wild dog group and a hyena group, Qiao Jia glanced at Dorian who was confused, Said: "What do you think King Kong is doing?"

Dorian looked at a hyena the size of a calf, with its forelimbs stretched out and its upper body lowered as if to send off a king. He respectfully watched Ayo leave. He licked his lips and followed him, wanting to enjoy the treatment of the king of the prairie. However, he was Several grinning hyenas were so frightened that they jumped and ran away.

Facing the boss's question, Dorian said firmly: "King Kong must know Afika's witchcraft. I heard that the wizards here can communicate with animals. King Kong must be a wizard."

Qiao Jia originally wanted to refute Dorian's nonsense, but after seeing the situation at the scene, he felt that in a magical place like Afika, Ayo's somewhat magical ability seemed reasonable.

Kaman and Ayo are both guys who are familiar with the grassland, but their styles are completely different.

Kaman has an uncanny ability to locate himself, which allows him to always know where he is.

Although Kaman is vicious in his actions, when he is walking on the grassland, he is actually the kind of person who does not offend others, because he will actively avoid or try not to come into contact with aggressive animals unless necessary. He will not cause carnage.

But Ayu is different. This woman with a body like a god has lived alone in the grassland for a long time. She has a way of communicating with animals that ordinary people cannot understand.

Qiao Jia didn't understand, but he could see from Ayou's actions just now that Ayou cherished life, but she would not grieve over the corpse of an animal like most people do, but chose to use the corpse to... To the extreme, nourish the animals around you.

The first group came were 'prairie thieves' such as wild dogs, jackals, and foxes. The second group was hyenas and vultures. I don't know if there was a third group later, but Qiao Jia clearly saw the smaller ones. The thing was the first to enjoy the elephant's internal organs, and then ran away after the hyenas arrived, dragging enough internal organs to fill its stomach.

Although the whole eating process is still ugly, the sequence is surprisingly harmonious.

Qiao Jia couldn't figure out the specific logic here. He guessed it must have something to do with Ayo taking out the elephant's entrails.

Because if she didn't do it, it would be difficult for those 'little guys' to tear open the elephant's skin and eat the meat.

When the big brothers from the grassland arrive, they won't have anything to worry about.

Qiao Jia didn't know exactly what method Ayou used to keep the greedy hyenas in awe and postpone the meal collectively.

But that’s the fun part of this world, because there are always amazing people who can do amazing things, and sometimes it’s not necessary to dig deeper.

It is more interesting to maintain a sense of mystery and leave some room for imagination.

Several people gathered next to the little antelope and saw carnivores coming from a distance one after another. Qiao Jia gave Ayou a thumbs up, then looked at the little elephant that was shaking its head and seemed a little anxious, and said, "Why is it?" What to do? We can’t fit on our plane.”

Qiao Jia took out the GPS to check and said: "There is still a distance of 40 kilometers from here to 'Ndele'..."

Ayou stretched out his hand and touched the little elephant's back and said, "Boss, it's too hungry and can't walk too far..."

Nice looked at Ayo's hesitant expression, and she smiled and said: "Antal can also drive the Gazelle now, so let him and Dorian go to Ndele first.

When the time comes, Antar will send some milk and other things over first, and Dorian can bring a convoy to pick you up. "

Qiao Jia looked at Nice, who rarely showed his subjective initiative. He nodded and then glanced disdainfully at Dorian, the only special soldier in the team who couldn't fly a helicopter, and said: "Lenol's assistant is already in 'Ndele' Just wait, when you go, contact her directly and she will help you arrange everything."

As he spoke, Qiao Jia looked at the sky, shook his head and said, "Take down the guns on the plane. The night on the grassland is generally not very harmonious. You should try to be as fast as possible!"

Dorian glanced at Antal, who was tireless in learning and started to develop in the direction of multi-functional logistics. He lamented and said: "Actually, flying a plane is not difficult. I will try it when we go back..."
