Northeast of Karamay City, walk 170 kilometers north along National Highway 217. There are no administrative villages or towns here on the map, but some people have set up a small market here, which is not even as big as an ordinary vegetable market in the mainland.
The market is surrounded by a wooden fence, and an almost weathered sign is placed at the door: The City That Never Sleeps.
Ren He parked the off-road vehicle at the door. He stood at the door for less than a minute and already felt the wind and sand getting into his hair. He took off his transparent windshield and looked at the words "Sleepless City", and then looked at this.
Looking at the six or seven earthen houses at the end, I suddenly felt a bit ache...
At this time, Ren He could see a sign hanging on the door of an adobe house in the fence: Massage.
There were two eldest sisters sitting at the door of the house. Their hair was scrawled. Ren He doubted whether they had lice...
National Highway 217 is a transportation channel, but in this vast and sparsely populated place, you may not see a passing car on the road for two to three hours.
Ren He looked at the scene in front of him and remembered four words: Longmen Inn.
"Handsome, do you want to rest?" The eldest sister grinned at Ren He with her yellow teeth exposed.
Ren He laughed in his heart. He was really adding drama to himself. This was not a real Jianghu. The legendary Jianghu were all men with swords. Even the women from brothels were very charming. These sisters were so charming.
It had nothing to do with it, Ren He said cheerfully: "Auntie, no need."
As soon as the aunt heard what Ren He said, she turned her head and continued to bask in the sun, not afraid that the wind and sand would block her nostrils.
Ren He turned around and took out his own bottle of mineral water from the car. Along the way, he always passed by places where he could buy water to buy a bottle of mineral water, for fear that he would be acclimatized.
"Is there anyone there?" Ren He shouted.
At this time, a thin man walked out of a mud house, looking very wretched: "What do you need, little brother?"
"Fill up the gas," Ren He pointed to his off-road vehicle. He was planning to enter the desert alone. This is the last stop to enter the real no-man's land. If he didn't refuel here, he would have to find another one 500 kilometers before and after.
Finding a place to refuel is difficult.
This direction is not the same as the road in the movie No Man's Land. The No Man's Land is not just the road in the movie, but a huge area.
Ren He spent tens of thousands of dollars in the past few days to figure out that poaching gangs generally do not operate near the highway like in the movies. Their main area of activity is this desert.
He came here not without purpose. The reason why such a small market was built in this place seems to be to serve the transportation vehicles, but it is definitely not that simple. The distance between the two ends of the road is only more than 300 kilometers.
This distance only takes a few hours for transport drivers.
But what does it look like in front of me? Someone is obviously going to spend the night here, and there is even a massage industry...
This is also one of the news that Ren He bought: poaching gangs often leave the desert from here, tossing in the yellow sand of the desert for more than ten days, hoping to have some wine to drink and hot food to eat when they come out.
Ren He felt that this kind of news should not be taken too seriously. After all, if you, a small black shop owner, can know the news, how can the police not know it? Why not squat here and wait? The domestic police are not fools.
This is because Ren He wrongly blamed the black shop owner. Poaching has already formed an industrial chain. The black shop owner knows some inside information because he has complicated relationships in this gray world, and these poachers are not always the same.
They came out from here. Although they have strong firepower, everyone knows that this is the land of the country. How many of those arrogant thugs have a good end? It seems that none of them have!
Although they broke the law, they are not stupid.
Ren He stood at the door of the black shop and thought about it. Although he was suspicious of the black shop owner, if the other party was really an insider, would there be a situation where the other high-profile poaching gang already knew that a young man was looking for them?
This is also very possible, so Ren He made more preparations, and on the way back to Karamay, Ren He also heard a piece of news that made him very painful...
Ren He felt like his eggs were about to break when he heard the news. This news was also sold to him by a black shop owner for 100 yuan: poaching gangs no longer steal yaks, but instead hunt falcons and antelopes!
Why? Because there are so few wild yaks in Karamay that even poachers cannot find them. Relatively speaking, falcons are easier to catch and more valuable.
From a long time ago, wealthy people in certain countries in the Middle East have regarded the number and level of falcons they own as a special symbol of their power and wealth. Those who own a decent falcon are often those who have just become millionaires.
People. This means that once a person has greater wealth, the first thing he will do is to buy a hunting falcon to prove and show off that he has become a rich man.
In Middle East oil-rich countries like Saudi Arabia, the Saker Falcon is considered a treasure. The price of a best TS Saker Falcon can reach up to 1 million! US dollars!
This is the root cause of domestic poaching.
The man who walked out of the earthen house glanced at Ren He: "A tank of gas, 1,000 yuan."
Ren He smiled: "This is a modified fuel tank. It's not too late for you to fill it up first and then ask me to calculate the money."
His fuel tank is more than twice as big as that of an ordinary off-road vehicle. It can be said that it is specially customized for running into no man's land. The other party is ripping off customers, so a tank of fuel normally costs 1,000 yuan, but if he waits until he fills up,
Then you will feel that you have made a huge loss.
Ren He is here to do something, not to take advantage...
The man was stunned for a moment after hearing what Ren He said. He called a waiter and started to refuel Ren He. After the refueling was completed, he chewed his teeth in pain and said, "2500!"
Ren He counted 2,500 cash and gave it to him: "Is there anything to eat?"
"Yes!" When the man saw that Ren He was so arrogant and didn't even negotiate the price, he immediately felt that a big guest was coming and hurriedly greeted Ren He into the room: "Don't think our place is run-down, but the master's craftsmanship is superb.
, I’ll roast a leg of lamb for you, and I’m sure you won’t forget it after eating it! Moreover, these are affordable dishes, not more expensive than other restaurants!”
Ren He was very happy when he heard this. Damn, the so-called cheap dishes in this group of people's mouth are that everyone in the black shop has the same price. No one is more expensive than anyone else. The fish-flavored shredded pork is all 98!
When some people see poachers, they always think that they are wearing the same clothes as those who have just returned home from farming. But the problem is that the cash these people bring is in bags, and they keep their heads in their waistbands to earn a living. In the end, the money comes
If it is too easy, you won’t cherish it too much, and you will spend it on food and women.
Otherwise, why would these black shops be opened in such remote places just for them?
Just when Ren He was sitting in the shop eating roasted leg of lamb, the sound of many vehicles roaring suddenly came from the distance. Ren He looked up and saw a group of men getting out of the car. For some reason, Ren He
He felt that the other party should know that he was looking for a poaching gang.
It just so happened that Ren He wanted to discuss a business deal with them.
