Chapter Ninety-Seven: Waiting
"What are you going to do in Africa?" Guan Zixuan asked curiously.
I shook my head and explained to them the letter that Sister Lan had left for me. They are the people I trust the most, and there is nothing to share.
"If you have an elephant cemetery, I'm afraid it's hard to find. Even if there is a rough map, we may not be able to find it, because it is a mysterious place. ”
Lao Hei lowered his head and said slowly.
I've thought about what he said, but at the moment I have no other choice but to get to the place first.
Next, we walked a long way to find a family that, after we had some good talk, was finally willing to take us to the big city in a car.
"Oh black, thanks to the fact that you can speak a foreign language, you can do it!"
We were sitting on a farm truck at this time, and Uncle Wang and Zixuan were patting Lao Hei's ass.
A few hours later, we arrived in the nearest city called Pusai, and Uncle Wang used his card to go to the bank to exchange some money, gave some to the farmers who sent us, and the other part booked us a hotel.
When I stayed at the hotel, I specially checked the news of fire phosphorite from the Internet in recent months, and found that the experts had basically determined the location of the mother worm.
With the joint efforts of the whole world, humans have formed a pesticide team dedicated to getting rid of these hateful bugs.
The other females are located in a remote well, under a large building, or simply hidden in the mountains and forests.
With the efforts of the insecticide team, the insect infestation has been basically eliminated, and the world has been restored to peace.
However, it is only a superficial tranquility, and only a few people know that under the calm of the earth's surface, there is a huge fissure crisis hidden!
Simply stayed at the hotel for one night, bought some luggage, and then we got on the plane ticket to the non-domain.
Lao Hei contacted a friend, an out-of-town who had been working in non-regions for a long time, and we went directly to his house after we got off the plane.
The elephant cemetery was top secret, and we didn't tell the old black friend, but only borrowed some tools from him, including a car, and a shotgun.
Shotguns are used for self-defense, after all, there are many jackals, tigers and leopards in the non-domain savannah, which are very dangerous, and when life is threatened, shotguns can protect us.
The next day we started our journey to the savannah.
"What we are looking for this time is an elephant cemetery, so we must be careful not to be targeted by outsiders, once outsiders find the elephant cemetery, the consequences are unimaginable. Old Black admonished.
"Lao Hei, why is that?" Guan Zixuan asked.
"Let me explain. "Because the elephant cemetery is full of elephant bones, it is naturally full of ivory." ”
"If the elephant cemetery is targeted by people who are obsessed with money, then I am afraid that it will set off a bloody storm!" I explained.
Guan Zixuan nodded, revealing an expression of sudden realization.
After a two-hour drive, we came to the heart of the prairie.
The scenery is very special, full of wildlife, giraffes gnawing leaves, migrating zebras, running leopards, and lions in a herd.
Not far from us, a herd of elephants is eating.
"I heard that elephants have a very high IQ and will run to a specific place before they die to grow old, and no human has ever found where the elephant's grave is. Lao Hei said.
"This elephant cemetery is so mysterious, can we find it?" Uncle Wang's tone was a little frustrated.
I looked at Uncle Wang: "Uncle Wang, don't worry, the address Sister Lan gave me is here, so ah, the elephant cemetery must be near here, who is Sister Lan, she will definitely not give us an impossible task, right?"
Sure enough, as soon as Uncle Wang heard Sister Lan, he immediately came to his senses: "I trust Xiaolan's arrangement, we will definitely be able to find the elephant cemetery soon!"
Lao Hei struck: "I'm afraid it's not as fast as you think." ”
Uncle Wang and I both looked at Lao Hei suspiciously: "Lao Hei, how do you say this?"
"With the mystery of the elephant graveyard, there's only one way for us to find it. ”
"What's the solution?"
"Wait for an elephant to die, and then we can follow the elephant and slowly find the location of the cemetery. But we have to wait at least two more years for the elephants to die, because the oldest elephants here have at least two years to live. ”
And so long?
I'm probably going to be here for another two years.
However, solving the world crisis is definitely not something that can be completed in a day or two, Sister Lan's arrangement must have her reasons, I just need to do it, Sister Lan is not wrong.
"Let's build a house nearby, we don't need too many people, the three of us men take turns to come and wait, we buy cameras that make it easy to get close to the elephants without being detected, and then we just need to look at the monitors." ”
At the suggestion of Lao Hei, we quickly set up a small cabin, installed all kinds of equipment in it, and made a single bed.
That night, the four of us stayed here all night together, testing various shooting equipment. The mosquitoes in this place are really big, and the vigil here will be painful.
The next day, Lao Hei was in charge of the vigil, and we went to a nearby city to stay in a hotel.
In order to facilitate the shift change, we purchased an off-road vehicle locally. Uncle Wang and I also agreed that we would change shifts once a month, but we would go over every two or three days to deliver food, and we would also keep a day together.
Uncle Wang called the subordinates of the Cave Stepping Society and asked them to come to the African Domain on a business trip, but he actually pitted them to serve him. He specially called a few people who could speak the local language to come over and slowly started business.
When I was on the job for the first month, I was very uncomfortable and always bored, but then Lao Hei bought me a game console, and I barely got used to life here.
The sun and the moon have changed, a year and a half have passed in the blink of an eye, I am used to the days of duty, and the Cave Club has developed considerable strength here, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the largest business organization.
We became more and more accustomed to life here, and after a few months, the elephants on the savannah finally had a slight change.
On this day, it was Uncle Wang's turn to be on duty. Because there was no Internet in the hut we built, I heard from Uncle Wang that he came to the vicinity of Lao Hei's friend's house to make a phone call.
Uncle Wang said on the phone that there was an elephant that behaved very strangely and seemed to be dying. When we heard the news, we rushed over immediately.
"Look, it's the elephant, it hasn't eaten since yesterday, and it doesn't go when the herd goes to bathe, and I see that there is no sparkle in its eyes, and it must be dying. ”
Uncle Wang said and pointed to the scene captured by the camera in the monitor. The elephant moved slowly, as if he had lost interest in everything.
"It's dying, and we've got to come up with a plan. I said.
Lao Hei also nodded: "The elephant will run away before it dies, and if it enters the mountains alone, we will follow it, and we must be careful not to be found by it, the elephant is very smart, if it finds that someone follows it, it will not enter the cemetery." ”
We made a brief plan of action, and after that, we were monitoring day and night.
We barely had a good night's sleep in the past few days, and we were always taking turns monitoring the elephant's movements.
One afternoon seven days later, the elephant finally moved.
"Quick, let's keep up!"
Without hesitation, we followed straight ahead.
It is very dangerous to run directly on such a savannah, and you may be targeted by wolves or leopards at any time.
Although wolves are sometimes afraid of humans, it does not mean that they are always afraid, and humans on the run are very attractive to them.
We followed, as fast as we could, and then we kept a considerable distance from the elephant and made sure we were out of sight of the elephant at all times.
In this way, we followed the elephant all the way, through a grassland, and over a small hill, and finally at one point, the elephant stopped.
It spun around in place, presumably to see if any other creatures were looking at it.
Despite our curiosity, we hid behind the rocks and did not dare to show our heads, because if the elephant found it, it would most likely give up on entering the cemetery and attack us with all its might.
