Flying long distances by plane is not a very comfortable thing. If you upgrade the economy class of a passenger plane to the transport class of a freighter plane, the taste is guaranteed to make you want to die.
Not to mention others, even Liu Heming couldn't stand it after such a long flight, and Alfred and Judy were naturally in even worse condition.
The only thing that might be better is the TC and their accompanying escorts, who have already tried this kind of flight when they were in the army.
After the plane came to a stand, the back of the cargo hold opened, and the United Nations vehicle, sprayed with the word "UN", drove straight over.
The officer in charge of security told Liu Heming a lot of things that need to be paid attention to, and the most important one is that these people must be accompanied by peacekeepers. Whatever you do, you need to be accompanied by a peacekeeper.
Liu Heming will naturally fully comply with such a request. Not to mention that he doesn't have other thoughts, even if he has, he doesn't dare to move here.
The ruins and ruins you see when the car drives by, these are the cities that have been baptized by war, and can only be described as devastated. If you think about it more deeply, it is shocking.
Liu Heming has not experienced war, and all cognition is exposed through film and television works. Now that he is truly in such an environment, he himself feels as if he has directly arrived in another world.
"Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God......" The car was moving, and the system villain jumped out.
"Just take a look, don't mess around. Liu Heming said in his heart.
"Why is this happening? Isn't it good to live a good life?" asked the system villain.
"Who can say this clearly, it's all for various interests. Liu Heming sighed in his heart.
"How have you been out lately? You've been so honest lately. Is there anything you want to report to me? Don't do anything behind my back. ”
"I can't do anything I want to, I'm just playing on the ranch right now. The system villain shrugged his shoulders.
"I think life is good now, and I can see a lot of new things every day. As for the future, that's the future, and I'm not going to think about it. ”
Liu Heming is still deeply skeptical of the words of the system villain, which is a profound summary of the struggle with the system villain. It's just that he doesn't have the ability of a system villain, and he really doesn't know whether the system villain is tossing or not now.
The car came to a halt and came to the destination of the trip, which is also the Khan Younis Zoo, where the animals die the most.
The scene in the park is much more impactful than in the photos, especially when you walk among the taxidermies.
These animals may have been majestic and mischievous in the past, but now they are covered in dust and will be trapped in this zoo forever.
"Welcome, thank you for being able to save the lives of these animals. "Awada, the curator of Khan Younis Zoo, greeted him.
"Hello, how many animals have been collected now? If possible, we will transport them all at once. Liu Heming omitted politeness and asked directly.
"Yesterday afternoon I found some more, and now there are 203. Some of the animals have undergone simple treatments, but none of them are in good condition. Arvada looked sad.
"I brought some nutrient solution with the plane, and you can arrange for someone to let the animals drink first, so that they can have enough energy to go through the long journey. How long has this lasted?" asked Liu Heming.
"It's been almost a decade, and all the animals that have died in zoos are more than the animals that are alive today. We can only help them as much as we can in the event of a temporary ceasefire and collect as much food as we can for them. Arvada said.
"Sometimes I think I'm cruel, but the only thing I can do is give them their last full meal and make them into specimens. ”
"It's probably happier for them, it's better than some animals being starved to death in the past. There is no government department or organization that can help us, and my personal ability is very limited. ”
Liu Heming sighed and didn't comfort him. In the face of such a state of affairs, all words of comfort are pale and weak.
TC They brought down buckets of water from the car, these are small lake water, that is, the nutrient solution in Liu Heming's mouth. It was the only guarantee he could think of that would allow these animals to continue their long-distance flights without hanging up.
The animals were scrawny, and he could feel the desperation in their hearts. Now they are also very honest, even when humans get close, they will not react in any way.
But their honesty is not like the laid-back of the animals in the pasture, but they themselves know that they may not starve to death one day. Even if they are animals, their desire for life is gone, what else can they do?
He remembered a familiar saying, and it was better to mourn than to die.
The water from the small lake was poured into the trough, and only some of the animals that were close to it came to drink it, while the rest who were far away only glanced at it and did not have much interest.
"Come and drink water, and take you to your new home when you're done. Liu Heming walked directly to the cage and greeted the animals.
His animal affinity is already very high, but it's still a little useless here. After he said hello, there were not many animals that came to drink.
There was really no way but to carry the animals one by one in the cage.
When he first received the baby tiger, he thought that the level had reached the limit, but after the animals here reported to their arms, they were as if they had no weight, and they were all light and fluttering.
Lions, tigers, monkeys, orangutans, baboons...... One animal after another was hugged by Liu Heming, until he met three elephants, and he couldn't hold them.
In the past, elephants were all as tall as a mountain, but now these three elephants, although they are tall, their bodies and legs are very thin. He felt that if he fought with these three elephants, he could easily subdue them.
Touching the elephant's body, the elephant rubbed its long trunk against Liu Heming's shoulder.
Liu Heming knew that it was not that they didn't want to drink water, but that they wanted to save some physical strength. The elephants have made this their grave and are just waiting to die.
"Let's distribute some more food to these animals, and leave the surplus here, so that it can be of some use in case you find an animal in need of rescue in the future. Liu Heming said to TC after placing the bucket next to the elephant.
TC nodded, remaining silent.
They are all people who have been on the battlefield, and they have seen many more scenes than Liu Heming. But after coming here today, I saw this scene, and I didn't know how to express it.
I've been getting along with all kinds of animals in the ranch for a long time, and my perception of animals is also changing subtly. Now when they see these animals living in purgatory, their hearts are not very good.
Although the time to come here was very rushed, everything was going on in an orderly manner. After giving the animals water and some food, they began to pack them.
It's not as troublesome as expected, even people like TC who don't have much animal affinity can pick up these animals at will and put them in the transport box.
The whole process was very smooth. But even so, there wasn't much of a smile on people's faces. In fact, even Liu Heming is not very sure that after bringing these animals back to the pasture, they will be able to live smoothly.
Some animals have been malnourished for too long, even if they are nourished by small lakes, it plays a small role. Even if they were able to slowly regain their health, it would have taken a toll on their lifespan.
After more than three hours of non-stop labor, all the animals were loaded into the car.
The rest of the animals said that the most difficult thing to deal with was the three elephants. People say that a starving camel is bigger than a horse, and although the three elephants are very thin now, their skeletons are there.
"Boss, it's time for us to leave. TC came to Liu Heming's side and said.
Liu Heming nodded and looked at Avada, "My contact information has been left to you, if you encounter some small problems here, you can contact me, and I can't solve big problems." ”
"Help as many animals as you can, and if you need it, I'll find a way to bring you some more supplies, just pay more attention to yourself." ”
"Thank you. Arvada gave Liu Heming a big hug.
He knew that the materials Liu Heming was talking about were not only for the animals, but also for people. In this area, not only the animals, but also the human beings live very hard.
"Thank you, Dexter. On the way back to the airport, Judy said very seriously.
"Don't thank me, I don't know what you've done. You're just taking pictures of the animals, although you might catch some other shots. Liu Heming shook his head.
"Well, then I won't thank you. Dexter, what do you think I was going to do if I became a war correspondent?" asked Judy.
"Don't ask me about such things. If you don't know you, I'd encourage you to go. But I know you, and I don't want you to live in such a dangerous environment. Liu Heming glanced at Judy in surprise and shook his head and said.
Mentally, he was very supportive of Judy's choice. But if it were him, he would never go.
The profession of a war correspondent is noble, but it is also dangerous. Just like Dwyer's Médecins Sans Frontières, just because you're a journalist or a doctor doesn't mean those bullets will go around you.
But this is Judy's own choice, and he will not give any opinion.
