Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Strange Convoy (2)
It is for this reason that the leading poachers intend to take their team to the camp for repairs, which could also be used as a base for them in the future. But the poacher did not expect that this camp, which had been abandoned for several years, had attracted a new group of guests just a few days earlier, who were none other than seven members of the First Tactical Group of the Dragon Tooth Brigade of the Huaxia Kingdom, and five instructors from the Snow Leopard Brigade of the Western Military Region who trained them.
"Boss, you'd better take a look at this!"
When the convoy was less than a kilometre away from the camp, an assistant sitting next to Ram suddenly put the monitor in his hand in front of Ram.
In the screen of the monitor, the vehicles and people driving in front of them glowed red. But farther away, in the camp that could already be seen through the lights, several of the camps glowed faintly red.
In order to be able to find the Tibetan antelope in the dark, Ram spent a lot of money to buy a relatively advanced thermal imager, which can observe the scene within a kilometer, as long as there is a heat source within a kilometer, the thermal imaging can be observed.
The thermal imager's display was placed in the car, while the camera and other equipment were mounted on the roof of the car, and with this equipment, Ram had managed to find the herd of Tibetan antelopes in the evening a day earlier.
"Order all vehicles to stop!"
When he saw that the camp only a few hundred meters away from him was actually emitting red light, Ram, whose expression had changed greatly, spoke directly.
Ram's two assistants, of course, knew exactly what their boss's order meant, and without the slightest hesitation, the two immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and stopped the slowly moving motorcade immediately.
"Turn off all the lights!" Ram began to break out in a cold sweat as he thought of the red glow emitting from the camp on the display, and even his speech began to become intermittent.
"Mr. Ram, what do you mean by that?" said Yu Shunlai, who turned his head to Ram, after the driver turned off the headlights of the SUV and the lights in the car.
Although none of the poachers knew what Ram was trying to do, Ram, as their employer, everyone did as they could.
As one car turned off its headlights and lights, the stopped convoy was soon hidden in the darkness.
On the other side, Luo Xueqin, who had been lying on the roof, saw that the convoy was close to a kilometer range, and when she was ready to fight, she had already loaded her bullets, when the convoy in the distance suddenly stopped, and all the cars turned off the lights.
"Captain, the convoy is still in place, and no convoys and personnel have been found in the other three directions!"
After the poachers' convoy stopped and turned off all the lights, Assistant Teacher Xue San, who was also observing with thermal imaging in the room, ran out of the room and said to Luo Xueqin and the others who were lying on the roof.
Although the poachers stopped and turned off all the lights, it was impossible to see the convoy from here. But all the vehicles have just stopped, and the engine part is still exuding high temperatures, which can be clearly seen through thermal imaging.
"What the hell is going on?" Assistant Coach Yukiichi, who was also ready to fight, asked when he saw this, and his tone was very puzzled.
"They should have spotted us!" Luo Xueqin, whose eyes were fixed on the front, said.
"How is that possible?" Xue Yi didn't seem to understand Luo Xueqin's explanation.
"What if they also have thermal imaging, although this kind of equipment is expensive, it has been circulated in the civilian market!" Seeing this, Luo Xueqin opened his mouth and asked rhetorically, "When we sleep, the door is closed, and the temperature in the room is much higher than the temperature outside, and the temperature can also be transmitted to the outside through the wall, and this phenomenon can be clearly seen with the use of thermal imaging!"
"This...."Xue was speechless when she heard this explanation.
I wanted to ask the poachers why they had such a thing as a thermal imager, but after thinking that the poachers' convoy, which was already arriving at the camp, suddenly stopped and turned off all the lights. Xueyi found that what Luo Xueqin said was unreasonable.
Luo Xueqin's guess was indeed accurate, Ram relied on thermal imaging, not only saw the camp emitting a faint red light, but also the moment Xue San ran out of the room, the large red object on the monitor was so clear.
"Mr. Yu, didn't you say that the camp built by the Huaxia Kingdom in front of you has been abandoned for a long time?" In the off-road vehicle, Ram, who looked a lot colder, spoke while pointing the monitor towards Yu Shunlai, who was sitting in front, "Then how do you explain this matter, don't tell me that there is a herd of Tibetan antelopes that occupy this camp and make the camp their home!"
"This..."After seeing the content on the display screen, Yu Shunlai was speechless for a moment, and he would not be so stupid as to think that the camp in front of him, which had been abandoned for a long time, was really occupied by a group of Tibetan antelopes. The only explanation is that the camp in front of you is already inhabited.
And Yu Shunlai would not think that other poachers had taken over the place. Because with the price managed by the Huaxia government, the poachers' food is becoming more and more unpalatable, and more and more poachers are caught, and there are fewer and fewer poachers.
Moreover, all the poachers are still secretly connected with each other, and they also know very well who went to the reserve to do a vote, and who did not come out of the reserve and was caught by the Chinese government.
What's more, because of the large amount of goods that Ram asked for this time, Yu Shunlai gathered almost everyone who dared to do this, and he did not receive any news that other colleagues had entered the reserve.
After ruling out this idea, the people living in the camp in front of him can only be one kind of person, and that is his own enemy, that is, the people of the Huaxia government!
"Mr. Ram, we should get out of here now!" Yu Shunlai, who thought of this, suddenly had a lot of cold sweat oozing from his back, and he raised his head and said.
"We're not just going to get out of here, we're going to get out of here completely!" said Ram with a solemn face, his tone very serious.
"Mr. Ram, are you too cautious! Let's not say whether they have found us or not, and the reserve is so big, it is not easy for them to find us!" Yu Shunlai disagreed with Ram's proposal to leave here.
You know, when Ram hired them, after paying them a fixed salary, as long as Yu Shun came to them and found a Tibetan antelope, they could get a lot of money.
Now, there are nearly 20 people, and only less than 50 Tibetan antelopes have been found, on average, each person can only get about two, plus they have only worked for Ram for more than a week, and the money that finally gets into their hands is not much.
"If it was the Huaxia Army, or even the special forces, would you still have the confidence to say what you just said?" Ram, who was sitting in the back, asked directly after hearing this.
After hearing these two terrifying names, Yu Shunlai's expression subconsciously revealed a trace of fear, if the management of the reserve took action against them, Yu Shunlai still had the confidence to escape from the other party's hands.
But if it is the Huaxia army or even the special forces, as Ram just said, Yu Shunlai has no confidence to say what he just said, among the poachers who have not returned for all these years, most of the poachers have been exterminated by the special forces of the Huaxia State.
"Mr. Yu, I'm not willing to leave like this, I want far more than that!" After seeing the hesitant look on Yu Shunlai's face, Ram said, "We should have attracted the attention of the Huaxia Government by now, and the Huaxia Government will soon send personnel to search for our traces, we should leave here now, find a place to hide, and wait until the Huaxia Government relaxes, we will enter here and continue to complete my goal!"
"But, Mr. Ram, I'm afraid it will take a few months!" Yu Shunlai, who heard this, said, with a hint of unwillingness in his tone.
"Don't worry, Mr. Yu, during the months of waiting, all of you will get half of the previous commission every day, and when we enter the reserve again, we will resume the previous commission. And every time you find a prey, I'll pay you the same!" In order to appease the other party, Ram directly offered such a high price.
Ram has such tempting conditions, of course Yu Shunlai agreed, although they can't continue, but in the next few months, they can completely lie down and collect money, and the accumulation of a few months is also a lot of income, and even at this time, Yu Shunlai wants Huaxia Kingdom's search of the reserve to continue as long as possible, so that they can continue to collect money lying down!
When Ram hired these people, he needed five or six hundred yuan per person for the daily employment fee alone, and even half of the employment money needed two or three hundred yuan. Nearly 20 people, about 180,000 a month!
This money seems like a lot, but you must know that although Ram only has less than 50 Tibetan antelope skins in his hands, once these skins are processed into shawls, the price of a shawl in foreign markets is as high as tens of thousands of dollars!
That is, only one shawl is needed to be able to pay the commission of less than twenty people for a month. And the profit that less than 50 Tibetan antelopes can bring to Ram in the end is enough to cover all the costs and expenses of Ram's operation!
However, of course, the greedy Ram did not want to leave Huaxia Country and leave the reserve just like that.
Before leaving for Europe, his plan was that in the next few months, he hoped to hunt four digits of Tibetan antelopes, or even more!
If Ram's plan succeeds, this trip will bring Ram millions, or even tens of millions, in profits, and it is still US dollars! Compared with the huge profits, the cost paid by Ram is not even a dime!
From this it is enough to see how valuable the Tibetan antelope is among these unscrupulous merchants. At the same time, it also explains why so many poachers, risking their own lives and violating the law, enter the reserve and illegally hunt Tibetan antelopes!
It is precisely because of this that the herd of Tibetan antelopes, which originally numbered several million, was reduced to less than 20,000 after a period of several decades, and later recovered to more than 60,000 under the management of the Chinese government.
