Looking at the envious and jealous looks of Han Su and others, Chen Ziyun also understood that this okapi, which looked like a cross between a zebra and a horse, must be a very rare animal.
"This little girl really stepped on dog shit." Chen Ziyun murmured. He couldn't understand why these animals like to deal with Wang Xiaowu. The snowman Wukong in Zen Seventeen is like this, and the okapi in front of him is like this.
.Is it possible that if you are young and beautiful, you can run rampant in the world and have no taboos?
Chen Ziyun muttered in his heart, and walked over, wanting to get closer to observe Okapi. But as soon as he noticed Chen Ziyun approaching, Okapi's ears immediately stood up, and he looked at Chen Ziyun in horror, as if he would run away at any moment.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!" Wang Xiaowu touched the back of Okapi's head vigorously, as if coaxing a child, and whispered, "Don't worry, he won't hurt you, trust me!"
In this way, Wang Xiaowu calmed down Huo Jiaxi, who was already in a state of panic, with just a few words. Chen Ziyun didn't notice anything strange, but Hansen and others behind him already had shocked faces.
Okapi are famous for their vigilance and timidity. Once there is any disturbance, they will run away as soon as possible. This escape speed is enough to make the cheetahs who are good at running helpless. This is why they dare not approach the okapi.
The reason was that the okapi was worried about frightening him, causing him to throw Wang Xiaowu off his back when he was frightened.
But Wang Xiaowu calmed down the timid Okapi with just one word, and allowed Chen Ziyun to come closer and stroke its fur. This is probably something that even the best animal trainers in the world cannot do.
How could this seemingly delicate and fragile Wang Xiaowu have such powerful magic power? Hansen and others' impressions of Wang Xiaowu were completely overturned.
"Boss, do you want to come up and give me a ride?" Wang Xiaowu was like a generous child, generously taking out his beloved toys for his friends to play with.
"No need." After looking at the okapi, Chen Ziyun found that the okapi did not look like it had been tamed, and he was even more troubled. At this time, Wu Yuchen was at the campfire in the middle of the camp, greeting everyone to start eating.
, Chen Ziyun patted Wang Xiaowu and said: "Stop playing, come down quickly and start eating."
The African continent is the poorest and most war-prone region in the world. But equally, the resources on this vast plateau continent are unimaginably rich. If there were no wars, the people on this continent would
, even if one is poor, thousands of people will not starve to death as soon as there is a famine. While eating dinner, Hansen felt this way.
Chen Ziyun deeply agrees. But he knows better that the reason why this region has frequent wars is also because the resources are too rich, which has attracted the covetousness of countless big countries. The ignorance of the people, the greed of the rulers, and the covetousness of outsiders are all the causes of disasters.
.
Wu Yuchen took out a sharp saber and cut off the roast beef piece by piece. Roasting on the campfire was a small African buffalo. It was the result of hunting by Wu Yuchen and Kunnier by the river. The calf weighed nearly two pounds.
One hundred kilograms is enough to feed a dozen people in the entire camp.
"Bison have many parasites, so they must be cooked thoroughly before they can be eaten." Hansen inspected the cut strips of meat and distributed them to everyone in the camp.
The spiced beef was fragrant and delicious, and the meat of the calf, which was less than one year old, was even more tender and juicy, and everyone's fingers were moved. They picked up the meat slices with bamboo skewers and stuffed them into their mouths. There were sufficient supplies in the camp.
There was even a lot of beer. Ge Shu took out two boxes of beer chilled with dry ice and handed them out to everyone he saw. While handing them back, he said: "Everyone, please pay attention. This kind of enjoyment will not be available after tonight!"
Although the sun has set, the temperature has remained in the 30s, and having cold beer on hand is the best thing.
Hansen seemed preoccupied.
Chen Ziyun sat next to him and saw Hansen looking up at the sky from time to time, so he asked: "Hansen, what's the matter?"
Hansen raised the wine bottle in his hand, touched it with Chen Ziyun, and said: "I'm a little worried about the weather. Look to the northwest, the clouds are condensing there, and there are flashes of thunder and lightning from time to time. It may rain."
Chen Ziyun asked in confusion: "It's the rainy season now, isn't it normal for it to rain?"
"It's normal, but not normal," Hansen said. "I just learned that from March to now, there has been basically no heavy rain in the area where we are. You know, even the year before last, the entire eastern corner of Africa had rained heavily.
During severe droughts, rainfall in the primeval forests of Central Africa is normal."
Chen Ziyun stopped talking. Hansen's words had already told him enough. The weather this year was abnormal and it had not rained for a long time. So if it rained, it would be very loud. This would be very detrimental to the team's schedule, and even
It may also cause great disasters.
"Don't worry if it rains," Chen Ziyun patted Hansen on the shoulder and said, "Zen Seventeen has left us enough time. Even if we walk slower, we should be able to arrive in time."
"Boss, that's not what I'm worried about." Hansen smiled bitterly, with an imperceptible fear flashing deep in his eyes.
"Huh?" Chen Ziyun's expression became a little solemn when he realized that there was something in Hansen's words.
"I have fought in this place." Hansen raised his head, took a sip of beer, and exhaled heavily, as if he wanted to dispel the fear deep in his heart. After a while, he said in a low voice: "Then
It was more than ten years ago. At that time, Congo was in the most chaotic period of the civil war. I was hired by the government army to fight against the armed forces. At that time, I was ordered to hunt down the leader of an armed group from the border area of Uganda to
We chased it to an area near here." Hansen gestured: "It should not exceed two hundred square kilometers."
Hansen took another sip of beer and sighed in a low voice: "The sky that night was almost the same as now..."
…
"Hansen, the remnants of Londona's troops should be not far from us," the gray-haired captain pointed to a still warm body on the grass, and said solemnly, "I chased them for almost five hundred kilometers.
Wow, these guys are really tough!"
Hansen, who was young and strong, looked excited: "Captain, they must have fled to the Central African border. We chased them all night, and we should be able to catch up with them in the middle of the night." Licking his chapped lips, Hansen looked slightly tired.
His eyes were full of longing.
"No, we can continue our journey after dawn. They are hungry beasts now, and it may not be beneficial to catch them. Let's rest for a night and catch up again tomorrow morning. There are many wounded in their team, and they cannot escape far," the captain said confidently.
Answered.
The dozen or so comrades behind him breathed a sigh of relief. They had been chasing the enemy almost sleeplessly for several days, and their bodies could no longer hold up. If they continued to chase, they might die of exhaustion before the enemy was found.
