Chapter 614: Happy Hunting
Jiang Xinwei also felt a little bad, and hurriedly asked, "Did you find anything abnormal about the signal before?"
Again, the other replied, "No." We reckon that there is a problem with the equipment at the airport, and they should be repairing it. A similar situation had occurred with previous devices, but this is the first time that contact has been lost after replacing the device. β
Jiang Xinxu sighed and asked again, "Does Prince Talal know about it?"
Their on-board radio communication distance is only more than 200 kilometers, and they cannot communicate directly with Talal and them.
The other party said, "The first person we contacted was Prince Talal and them. Prince Talal has ordered us to report this situation to you, and to reassure you. We'll let you know as soon as communication is restored. β
Jiang Xinwei said that he knew, so he cut off the communication with the left-behind camp, and then picked up the microphone of the internal communication radio and said: "Everyone, please pay attention, everyone! I am Jiang! Just now I received a report from the left-behind camp that the communication between the left-behind camp and the airport was suddenly interrupted, and they were looking for the cause of the fault and carrying out emergency repairs. Prince Talal told everyone not to rush and that they would let us know as soon as communication was back in order. β
The internal communication radio is a half-time communication radio used for group internal communication, and when speaking, press the send button, and extend the send button to hear others' speech, and the communication distance is within 75 kilometers. In addition, they are all equipped with walkie-talkies, and the communication distance is about eight kilometers.
Prince Pierre of Belgium, Prince Abdul of the United Arab Emirates, and Prince AndrΓ© of Oman have reported that they have learned. Prince Pierre also joked to Prince Andrei of Oman: "Andrei, will your girlfriend be in a hurry? If she can't contact you, she will definitely suspect where you are fooling around." β
Andrei laughed: "Impossible. My girlfriend believes in me the most. β
Not only did the three princes not take the matter of communication interruption seriously, but Jiang Xinwei, as the leader of this group, did not take it seriously. After all, a communication radio station is also a piece of equipment, and as long as it is, how can it be free from malfunctioning? There is no need to be suspicious. How can things in the world be so coincidental, a communication interruption once and a major event?
Only Ma Liantao, who came to hunt with Jiang Xinwei and acted as his bodyguard, frowned, and after Jiang Xinwei hung up the microphone, he asked, "Jiang Dong, is this a bit abnormal?"
Jiang Xinwei observed the situation in front of the off-road vehicle and asked, "What's abnormal, your occupational disease is starting to commit?...... Do you see a conspiracy in it?"
Ma Liantao is actually really a professional habit, thinking about everything in a bad way, just in case. Hearing Jiang Xinwei ask this, he smiled and said, "I don't know if there is a conspiracy, but this time Prince Sayyafman has not shown up. When a prince goes out hunting, how can there be no backup for the communication station? When one fails, the communication is interrupted, and it is difficult not to doubt. β
Jiang Xinxu said with a smile: "There are many things to do here except for me, and no one else has any bullshit." Don't look at them as princes, in fact, they are all idle people, it is common not to contact the family for ten days and a half, I guess their parents still wish they didn't contact, as long as they don't do bad things outside, they will burn high incense. β
After a pause, he added, "Didn't they send someone to the airport to contact us? It shouldn't be long before news arrives." Besides, our Liu Changgui is still in the left-behind camp, and he will definitely pay attention to the situation there. β
"Look! Oryx ββ!" With a surprise shout in the distance, the conversation between Jiang Xinwei and Ma Liantao ended, and everyone's minds were attracted by the antelope looming in the grass in the distance.
Five off-road vehicles quietly approached the herd.
But because of the direction of the wind, the alert oryx still heard the movement, spread their hooves and ran into the distance, and their agile and muscular bodies ran fast in the grass, and slowly their figures became smaller and smaller.
"ββ!Chase," shouted several people in unison, and the drivers slammed on the accelerator and chased after the poor animals.
It's just that the off-road vehicle can't get up fast in the grass, even if you step on the accelerator, the engine makes a heavy roar, and the grass in front of it is ploughed away by the body like a wave, but the speed is about 60 to 70 miles, almost on par with the speed of the oryx.
However, the engine is tireless, as long as the tank is full of oil, the off-road vehicle can continue to speed up, but the oryx can only run fast for more than twenty minutes.
It didn't take long for the speed of the oryx flock to slow down, from the beginning of the calm to frightened, and not only did they not know to flee separately, but the more frightened they were, the more they gathered, the slower they gathered, and in less than forty minutes, these poor animals appeared in front of Jiang Xinwei and them.
"Bang, bang, bang!" Looking at these cute animals, the hunters showed no mercy and excitedly aimed and shot, and one after another oryx were hit by bullets and fell to the ground.
If Jiang Xinwei hadn't shouted enough, these guys would probably continue to shoot until they wiped out all the unlucky antelopes.
According to the competition agreement, only four animals of each type are allowed to count towards the score. The rest of course went into the mouths of their hunters, who had planned a big barbecue in the evening.
After the shooting stopped, everyone happily carried the hunted oryx. The noble princes did not want to be replaced by the bodyguards and the four porters, but carried or carried their prey together like ordinary people, throwing some into pickups, others piling up in the grass.
Pierre even took out a knife and began to skin an oryx.
Seeing that it was getting late and night had fallen, they decided to set up camp here, where they barbecued and camped.
The two guides and the four porters moved even faster, setting up the barbecue grill, preparing firewood, and setting up a few plastic tables and a few plastic chairs in less than half an hour.
This time they hunted nine oryx, eight of which were males and one female. It is estimated that the person who hunted the female antelope did not see clearly or did not have time to see the male and female at that time, because the female antelope was strong and about the same size as the average male antelope.
For barbecue, it is naturally Ma Liantao's forte, he quickly peeled off the antelope skin, and skillfully hung the peeled antelope on the barbecue grill, while adding firewood while sprinkling the antelope meat with the condiments he brought.
Others also barbecue their prey nearby, concocted to their different tastes.
An hour later, the air was filled with a mouth-watering scent, and someone eagerly took out a dagger and began to cut through those muscles that were ripening quickly, put them in their mouths with anticipation, first chewing slowly, but then eating them heavily, with a happy and contented smile on their faces.
Obviously, whether it is the bodyguards they brought themselves, the guides and porters here, they all have the ability to barbecue and can barbecue delicious food, not just Ma Liantao.
Of course, because everyone has their own different tastes, no one knows whose barbecue skills are high, and no one can brag in front of others.
It doesn't matter, as long as everyone eats happily and lives happily.
Another half hour passed, and everyone began to feast, even the guides and porters who took care of the princes, and the antelopes they had grilled themselves were ripe.
Ma Liantao cut off a piece of tenderloin, forked it with a steel drill and handed it to Jiang Xinwei, and asked a little worriedly: "Jiang Dong, why hasn't there been any news from the left-behind camp? Has their communication with the airport been handled?"
Jiang Xinwei grabbed the steel chisel, took a big bite of the fragrant tender meat, and said while chewing, "It's definitely fine." Are you worried that the rebels have attacked the airport? Hehe, don't worry, the sky is falling and there are tall men staring. If people want to find trouble, they must first find trouble with these princes, they are fat sheep. β
Ma Liantao smiled and said, "How can there be such a ?...... as you , it's a bit unusual anyway. It stands to reason that even if they sent someone to the airport by car at that time, it would be enough for them to deal with it. β
Jiang Xinxu paused, removed the fork from his mouth, and said hesitantly, "It's a little strange." Not to mention repairs, even buying a new set should be taken care of. β¦β¦ No, we'll have to ask again. β
As he spoke, he put the steel drill in his hand into Ma Liantao's hand, walked quickly to the car he was sitting in, opened the door and sat in, closed the door before picking up the headset and microphone, pressed the send button of the car radio, and said to the microphone: "Left-behind camp, left-behind camp, I am the second group, I am the second group, please answer when you hear it!"
Soon, the other party's voice came: "Jiang, hello, this is the left-behind camp." Is there anything wrong?"
Hearing the other party's voice, Jiang Xinwei's somewhat hanging heart suddenly relaxed, and said, "Has your communication with the airport been smooth again?"
The other party was obviously a little depressed and said, "Not yet." I don't know why, but no one from us has heard from us so far, neither repairing the radio station over there, nor sending anyone over. β
Jiang Xinxu's heart hung up again, and he asked, "How is the situation on Prince Talal's side?"
The other party replied: "I don't know the specific situation, it should be fine." We were in contact two hours ago, and they were chasing a herd of wildebeest. β
Jiang Xinwei thought for a while and said to him: "You help me find Liu from Huaxia, I have something to look for him." β
The other party hurriedly said, "Okay, I'll let someone go to him immediately, you wait." β
But he waited for five minutes and didn't wait for Liu Changgui, and the radio officer on duty finally told him: Liu Changgui drove out with a local, and he had been walking for more than an hour, and he would come back for about an hour.
Jiang Xinwei had a cloud of suspicion in his heart, but he didn't express his suspicions, but just told the other party that if the radio at the airport was connected, or Liu Changgui came back, please contact him immediately, no matter how late it was.
