Chapter 19: Gu Lang's Divine Reasoning
Even Wang Ping didn't expect that hyenas could hold grudges to such an extent.
Chasing all the way from last night's campsite, Gu Lang had already driven a distance of hundreds of kilometers at this time, but by a river outside Nga Sumet, when Gu Lang's heart to wash the car was not dead, Xiaohua found the traces of the hyena again.
This is no longer a problem of ghosts, and if you don't get rid of these hyenas, I'm afraid even camping at night will be a problem.
Of course, this way, Gu Lang drove the car so grinding, and he couldn't wait to turn back three times in one step, no wonder he would be caught up by hyenas who were not good at speed. Seeing that there is another 150 kilometers of distance in Ngasumet to reach the eastern part of the Great Rift Valley, Wang Ping is not in a hurry.
Compared to the human rescue team, Wang Ping would rather face the hyena herd.
However, Xiaohua's condition is not very good, even with Gu Lang's bandage, the injury on her hind leg is not healed in a moment. If you go against the hyena pack in this state, you will be disabled.
It's not hard to imagine what can happen to a disabled cheetah in the steppe. Wang Ping, who already regarded Xiaohua as his own person, naturally couldn't let this happen.
Wang Ping's wild cognition is not comparable to that of a rookie like Gu Lang, even without navigation and network, he can accurately know his current location by calculating the position only by the direction of the sun and the speed of the vehicle.
It's a pity that the on-board map in the car is operated by a touch screen, and even if you know the location, you can't verify it, so you can only choose to trust your memory.
If memory serves, twenty kilometers west of Ngasumet lies the territory of a pack of lions.
Wang Ping himself has not carried out a protection mission here. The reason why I can remember it so clearly is because I once came to Ngasummet with the team to pick up the team that was on a mission here, so it left an impression in my mind.
If you want to escape from the hyena pack without violence, and venture through the territory of the lions, it is naturally the best way to let the two groups go dog-eat-dog. The premise is that your side is not caught by the lion first, and the game is a time difference.
Gu Lang was about to make a fire to cook, Xiaohua smelled the smell of prey, lowered her body and got into the grass, not knowing where to run.
On the way away, Gu Lang was trying to "get back together" with Wang Ping.
Originally, after last night's incident, Gu Lang had clearly felt the change in Wang Ping and Xiaohua's attitude towards him, and it was the same today.
But when he arrived at Ambusel Lake, Wang Ping, who had been quietly squatting in the co-pilot, didn't know what happened suddenly, revealing his long-hidden fangs. If it weren't for Xiaohua's still cold look, ignoring him, it is estimated that he would have to be scared of a heart attack by now.
If even this leopard continued to be hostile to him, Gu Lang would really have to think twice about breathing.
"Is it just because of the camera?"
Gu Lang thought about it for a long time, and judging from Wang Ping's performance, it seemed that only this explanation was the most reasonable.
Thinking about it again, after I met Wang Ping from the beginning, the various things that the other party showed were obviously special "aliens" that were different from ordinary animals. The other party's familiarity with human society made him feel ashamed, and he had definitely been in human society for a long time.
"Could it be that this flat-headed brother has been monitored and abused by humans before, and he escaped?"
"Maybe it's my heart that started to go wrong. It's true that this thing is trained, but it should not be a regular animal trainer who trains him, but a grass stage team of the circus. I must have been beaten a lot and abused too much to be so hostile to devices like cameras, right?"
The more Gu Lang thought about it, the more sure he was of his guess. In just a short period of effort, they have already made up the legendary story of a flat-headed brother who was humiliated in the circus and fled from human society with his friends who suffered the same thing. Maybe it was because I saw the camera in Gu Lang's car that I suddenly recalled the days when I was locked in a cage in the circus, surrounded by cameras, and was beaten and starved at every turn, so I suddenly broke out.
In such a series, the background of the story is there, the cause is also known, and the conclusions drawn are logical and meticulous, which is worth scrutinizing.
"I'm such a genius!"
Gu Lang felt that he had finally discovered the hidden truth, and his heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment in an instant, and then he looked at Wang Ping's eyes, and his stupid expression also carried a trace of sympathy and pity.
"Did this guy take the wrong medicine?"
Wang Ping looked at Gu Lang, who had suddenly changed his temperament, with some doubts, and secretly sighed at the big nerves of this guy.
Gu Lang is constantly overturning his impression of Wang Ping, and Wang Ping is not. Yesterday, I was still disgusted with the poor psychological quality of this product, and the IQ was low, but now Wang Ping has begun to change a little.
A person who has spent a day and a night alone with a strange beast, and can still find a way to save himself, and at the same time is in the mood to think of some inexplicable stories, cannot indeed be called poor psychological quality.
But Wang Ping didn't want to admit how good the foundation of this product was, after all, the initial impression was too low, and in the end it could only be attributed to a big nerve.
I looked at the sky, it was still early before sunset. If you hurry, there's still hope that you'll be able to make your way through the lion's territory before dark.
Wang Ping roughly calculated the direction, turned around and returned to the car.
At this time, the aroma of Gu Lang's marching pot on the bonfire was already rising. And this thing didn't know where to find a brush, and it seemed that he was really going to wash the car.
"That flat ...... Boss, the instant noodles I cooked in the pot, if you want to eat, I didn't move the beef jerky, it's still in the backpack, you can eat it all......"
Gu Lang originally planned to call Brother Pingtou, but when the words came to his lips, somehow, Fu Zhi's heart suddenly changed his mouth and shouted the boss, and even he felt weird.
"This kid has finally come to his senses! Are you ready to be a little brother?"
Wang Ping was very satisfied with this title, so he got into the car according to his words, fished out the last two packets of beef jerky, and leaned against the side of the car door to eat.
After a while, the grass not far away sounded, and Xiaohua came out dejectedly, and found a corner away from the fire to lie down, looking unhappy.
Except for the half of the hyena carcass that she gnawed off in the morning, Xiaohua hadn't eaten for a day. Although this is a common thing for cheetahs, it is still unhappy.
In particular, there are injuries that make the body more burdened.
Wang Ping thought about it, put the beef jerky in his mouth back into the bag, and dragged it to Xiaohua's side.
Beef jerky is a high-calorie thing, so it's better than nothing. I can't wait to rub some of Gu Laosan's instant noodles for a while.
Wang Ping thought as he put the beef jerky in front of Xiaohua.
"Woo~"
Xiaohua saw Wang Ping coming over, stretched out her head and licked his face. After being pushed away by Wang Ping, he leaned his head closer to the bag in front of it and sniffed it, hooked a piece of jerky with his tongue and ate it.
"You two have a really good relationship!"
Gu Lang's voice with a slight sigh came from behind him: "Tsk, nature is really magical." If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would have dared to imagine that a flat-headed guy would become friends with a cheetah? You must have suffered a lot in the circus, right?"
Circus?
Wang Ping turned to look at Gu Lang suspiciously: Who is scolding?
