The older generation of indigenous people living here had seen Gustav, but had never been so close.

The villagers swallowed their saliva one after another, moistened their throats, and were very hesitant to go up.

The murder of Gustav echoed in their minds, and the other day they saw a gnawed corpse, and they were all worried about being bitten at this time.

Patters did psychological counseling.

The villagers trusted the old professor, so they slowly went up to help.

Nearly twenty adult males worked together to lift Gustav up.

Trailers were waiting on the side of the road outside the entrance to the village, surrounded by armed forces and police from the reserve.

The news that Gustav is still alive will surely attract the attention of many poachers, even if any part of Gustav's meat, skin, bones and other parts of his body may be sold for a sky-high price.

Because it's a legendary predator.

The media will hype up its status very highly.

In addition to poachers, the crocodile is also targeted by the local armed forces of two other ethnic groups operating in Burundi.

There are two reasons for this.

One is to kill the crocodile and demonstrate to the ruling people in Burundi.

It will definitely have a strong deterrent effect, you have to protect it, I will kill it under your protection.

Another reason is to kill the crocodile and curry favor with the supporters behind them, proving that they have the strength to start another internal war and seize power.

Five years ago.

More than 100,000 people were killed by civil strife in the country.

Today, Gustav is a crocodile that is not only about the industry's research on this living fossil, but also about the struggle for power in Burundi.

Liu Wei didn't think so deeply at this time, he just wanted to send the crocodile safely to Bujumbura, the capital of Burundi, and then the Burundian military was responsible for sending it to the Nile crocodile conservation center in Egypt.

"Liu, let's go over there!" said Patters, getting into the car.

Liu Wei nodded.

Because Gustav was too big, the tail box of the trailer could not fit in, so he had to tie it to the roof of the car.

Ellison looked at his watch and asked the driver, "Can you get to Bujumbura in an hour?"

The driver shook his head and said, "The fastest is an hour and a half!"

"Hurry up!" Ellison instructed, fearing that Gustav would suddenly wake up and struggle.

He had seen Gustav's strength with his own eyes, and he did not dare to guarantee that the hemp rope would be able to bind it.

The convoy departed.

Led by two police cars.

It was followed by an armed off-road vehicle in the reserve.

Walk all the way to the impact fan area of the Lusisi River.

Wide field of view.

Patters smiled and said to the driver, "Can you go any faster?"

Bang bang bang~

The voice just fell.

Several bullets whistled and slammed into the trailer door.

"What's going on?" said Patters, frightened.

Liu Wei looked back at the driver and noticed that the driver's face was uncomfortable, and his vision went around, and his left arm was shot.

The trailer suddenly swings in a curve.

"I'm coming!"

Liu Wei jumped off Patters' body and grabbed the steering wheel to stabilize the direction of the trailer.

Thundered......

There was a louder noise again.

Liu Wei saw from the rearview mirror that the off-road vehicle following behind was destroyed and burst into flames.

Eyes look out.

The armed forces in ambush in the distance were again loaded with RPG rockets.

His brow furrowed.

"Sit down!"

Liu Wei gritted his teeth and quickly turned the steering wheel, and the trailer rushed out directly from the right side of the police car in front of him, rushing to the grass on the other side of the road.

A rocket flew behind the police car with black smoke.

It crashed into the grass with a deafening explosion.

"Liu, what the hell is going on?" Professor Patters was so nervous that he lost the ability to think.

"Sit down first!"

Liu Wei once again turned the steering wheel sharply and rushed into the road.

The police and the armed forces of the reserve in the back chose to stop fighting the enemy.

Liu Wei guessed that these people must have been premeditated and came to Gustav, as for what their purpose was, Liu Wei couldn't guess, and he didn't have time to guess now, the main task was to drive the car safely to the city of Bujumbura.

The firepower in the back was fierce.

The police immediately contacted the Burundian government and asked for military support.

Liu Wei originally thought that the police and the armed forces of the reserve could hold off the enemy and buy him time, but a black pickup truck appeared in the rearview mirror, which had been modified and had a heavy machine gun in the trunk.

"Not good!"

Liu Wei leaned forward with his upper body and clutched the steering wheel.

His foot didn't let go of the throttle and the trailer was already seriously overspeeding.

Heavy machine guns rang out from the pickup truck, and bullets flashed like meteor showers, striking the tail box of the trailer.

The driver's face was pale, his arm was bleeding profusely, and he held the wound with his right hand and said to Liu Wei: "The tail box has been treated with bulletproof! It has a certain defensive effect, and there will be troops stationed 20 kilometers further on!"

Liu Rong understood what he meant.

Without hesitation, speed up again.

The chase was unusually fierce, and Gustav, tied to the top of the trailer, did not move at all, it was still asleep.

Slightly.

The black man operating the heavy machine gun in the pickup truck said: "Without support, we can't go any further!"

The black leader standing next to him slammed his fist into the roof of the pickup truck, unwilling.

At this time, military support forces contacted by the Burundian police rushed over.

Liu Wei loosened the throttle a little, slowed down, and turned the direction to make way for the military.

"The brakes are gone!"

Liu Wei was taken aback.

Patters was also panicked.

The injured driver was relatively calm and turned to the left

Glancing at the car window, "Drive to the riverbank!"

Liu Wei understood what he meant, relying on the silt from the river beach to reduce the inertia caused by the trailer's fast travel.

Liu Wei turned the steering wheel 90 degrees to the left, and the trailer tilted so badly that it almost rolled over on its side on the road, and after two bumps, it rushed to the river beach.

Relying on the resistance generated by the silt of the river beach, the trailer was smoothly parked in the shallow water.

"Whew~"

Liu Wei let go of his hands and lay on the steering wheel, his eyes blank and slowing down.

One of the military vehicles that had come from the military came to a halt, and five heavily armed Burundian soldiers ran to the door of the trailer with rifles and knocked on the door, "Are you alright?"

Liu Wei stretched out his hand and opened the car door, "Someone has a gunshot wound and needs urgent treatment!"

The soldier called out over the walkie-talkie: "Ambulance ambulance, someone is injured, call for support!"

The soldier got into the car and lifted the tow truck driver down.

After Patters got out of the car, he plunged headlong into the river, he didn't want to hear the gunshots, he needed to clear his head.

When he looked up again, the first thing that came to mind was Gustav's safety.

Immediately climbed to the roof of the car to observe carefully, and after observing, he sat on Gustav's back, looked at Liu Wei standing below with a smile, and nodded slightly.

Gustav was not injured.

Half an hour later.

Military vehicles rushed to the first battlefield one after another, and the forces that came also arrived on the river beach, transferring Gustav to a military supply vehicle.

Transportation is carried directly by the military.

"Liu, you can rest easy now!" Patters breathed a sigh of relief.
