Chapter 4: Cheetah out of the cage

The container drove all the way out of the town.

Feeling the shaking of the carriage and the sound of the wind outside from time to time, Wang Ping knew that the car should have been far away from the city, but he didn't know which direction to go or where to go.

Looking back at the situation at that time, it was probably an occupational disease, and he jumped into the car as soon as he rushed into the blood, and now Wang Ping is beginning to regret it.

The situation inside the cargo box is clear at a glance, and there is not even a place to hide. Wang Ping didn't want to just get out of the tiger's mouth and enter the wolf's den, now this small body, people can do it with a single tranquilizer dart.

You can only find a way halfway.

Wang Ping thought about it for a long time, no matter how he thought about it, it was a dead end, unless he ......

Staring at the iron cage under the tarpaulin, Wang Ping blinked twice. Although it was pitch black in the closed carriage, this did not affect Wang Ping's eyesight.

It stands to reason that large carnivores like leopards will be anesthetized during transportation, but not too much. After all, if the anesthesia is too long, it is easy to have an accident.

Poachers, in particular, who seek wealth, prefer to be in trouble along the way to ensure the value of the "goods". Therefore, it is generally a shot before loading, and a shot before unloading.

Wang Ping didn't know why the other party smuggled the leopard, but since it was only alive in front of him, the other party would definitely not let it die easily.

Thinking of this, Wang Ping ran to the edge of the cage, scratched his paws, scratched the tarpaulin on one side, and exposed the iron cage behind him.

The locked position of the cage door is just on Wang Ping's side. Wang Ping breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he didn't rush to the other side of the carriage, otherwise Wang Ping would have to go through the cage to unlock the lock.

Through the railing, Wang Ping looked at the guy curled up in a mass sleeping soundly.

Looking at the size and color of the flowers, the leopard in the cage is a typical Indian leopard.

Wang Ping also maliciously glanced at the position of his hind legs, well... There is no "ball", it is a mother's.

Don't look at the Indian word in the name, but the Indian leopard has nothing to do with India, and its main distribution location is Namibia, southwest Africa, and it is a world-class endangered species. Fur and pups have no price on the black market. It's not hard to see why someone would take the risk of smuggling.

The paw tapped lightly on the railing, and the thing inside showed no signs of waking up. Wang Ping estimated the time, although there is no watch, and may have to say goodbye to the watch in the future, but the approximate time Wang Ping can still estimate, from leaving the back door of the zoo to getting in the car and leaving, at least two hours have passed.

In just over an hour, it should be dawn. And the effect of the tranquilizer gun should have almost passed by then.

When the time comes, the leopard wakes up, and the two white men driving the car have two options. Either stop and replenish the gun, or just ignore it and continue to drive, anyway, it is caged, and this leopard will not be able to go to the sky.

However, Wang Ping felt that the other party was the most likely to stop and replenish the gun. After all, if it was really Wang Ping's guess, if the other party was smuggling wild animals, he would definitely calm the leopard and avoid being discovered by the checkpoints on the way. Unless there are no checkpoints on the road you are walking at the moment.

Wang Ping can only pray that he will not be so much back, so that when the other party replenishes the gun, it will be Wang Ping's opportunity. The premise is, how to get this leopard to cooperate.

Wang Ping held on to the railing and pondered, time passed slowly bit by bit, and he could vaguely hear an unknown song playing in the cab, as well as the singing of two white men roaring. In the distance, the sky began to have a white belly, and the sky was about to dawn.

Wang Ping, who was pondering, suddenly felt a fishy breath blowing on his face, and when he raised his eyes, he was facing a pair of green eyes.

"Whew......"

Wang Ping subconsciously scolded and quickly retreated, but what came out of the words was a strange roar.

The leopard obviously didn't expect the voice of the guy on the other side to be so loud, and was obviously startled, and jumped up all of a sudden. The cage shook a little as it was hit.

"Roaring ......"

Being frightened by an animal much smaller than himself is obviously a shameful thing. The leopard quickly adjusted its standing posture, looked at Wang Ping fiercely, and let out a low roar.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Wang Ping always felt that the other party's roar had a hint of lust and guilt, and his feelings were a little rich. As everyone knows, this leopard also knows that it is bitter.

If given the choice, the leopard would rather face a lion or an elephant than face the white-haired guy on the opposite side.

The image of the flat-headed brother in Africa is simply a character that people hate dogs. I can't beat it to death, I can't drive it away, I don't want to say anything about it, and I have a small belly and chicken intestines. Even if you just walk down the road and take a look, this thing may rush up and fight you. The degree of sand sculpture is directly proportional to the degree of ferocity.

It takes nearly three hours for an adult leopard to defeat a honey badger, remember to defeat, not kill. And the energy consumed in these three hours needs to be replenished by the leopard's hunting for a long time. So unless the brain is in water, no one wants to fight the honey badger.

However, the reality is that I don't want to be right, but I do. If the leopard could speak, maybe there would be 10,000 MMPs to say to God at this time.

A leopard, a badger, big eyes look at small eyes.

"Let's talk?" Wang Ping waved his paws and made sign language gestures that he didn't even recognize.

The leopard tilted its head with a funny expression.

Wang Ping let out a long sigh, then stretched out his claws to point to the direction of the cab, and then pointed to the back door of the carriage, and then opened his mouth and made a vicious expression.

"There's bad guys out there, let's kill them together!OK?"

Leopard: "......"

Could it be that the honey badger I encountered was stupid?

Wang Ping also cursed in his heart, could it be that this leopard is mentally retarded?

As long as this leopard is not hostile to itself for the time being, I don't believe that it will be so safe when someone comes to replenish the gun.

Wang Ping looked at the door on the iron cage, and sure enough, it was not locked. I don't know what these people think, I always think that animals are stupid, and the cage door is just plugged in with a latch and pinned with wire.

Cautiously approaching the iron cage, the leopard squinted its eyes, let out a low roar in its throat, and began to warn Wang Ping.

"The hell the feline is dead-eyed! Lao Tzu is saving you!"

Wang Ping slandered, ignoring the leopard's threatening eyes, and began to untie the wire on the door pin. The honey badger's palms, like those of most mammals, have thick pads and sharp claws, but they are much less flexible. After a long time, Wang Ping tore off the wire in a fit of anger.

With a "rattle", the wire broke, the pin on the door was also ripped off by Wang Ping, and the leopard in the cage trembled again, almost pounced.

The cage door opened, and Wang Ping slowly retreated, preventing the other party from suddenly pounced.

The leopard was more careful, and had no intention of coming out at all, just staring at Wang Ping's movements.

"What's the matter, it's so obvious, you still think Lao Tzu wants to hurt you!

Wang Ping was angry, it seemed that he couldn't count on this product, so he could only act by himself.

Thinking of this, Wang Ping turned around and rushed in the direction of the cab, hitting the iron plate in front of the car with a "bang", making a muffled sound.

In the car, a bearded white man was driving, humming gibberish music in his mouth, and the co-pilot's partner, Little Brother, was fiddling with a tranquilizer gun.

"Hey, what's ......"

Suddenly, the co-pilot's little brother raised his head and listened to his back. In the noisy music, there was a faint muffled sound, and the sound of claws scratching on the iron plate.

The bearded man turned off the music, and the two listened to it for a while, glanced at each other, and the bearded man stepped on the brakes.

"Shet!"

The little brother opened the co-pilot's door, got out of the car with a tranquilizer gun.

The car stopped, and Wang Ping also stopped the impact. Shaking his stunned head, Wang Ping hurriedly ran to the back of the carriage and hid by the door.

The leopard, who was watching Wang Ping's performance with the eyes of a sand sculpture, also heard the movement outside at this time, his eyes narrowed, his body was lowered, and he slowly walked out of the cage.

The little brother huffed angrily with the handle behind the carriage, and secretly complained that the zoo didn't give the leopard enough anesthetic, and he had to risk stopping to replenish the gun in this wilderness.

The carriage opened, and the little brother looked up, with a pair of green eyes, looking at him condescendingly.

"Vatzer...... Fack!"
