Chapter 298: Reality is not so rosy

PS: Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a recommended ticket.

Holding the joystick in his hand, Gao Yang's heart was not to mention how excited, but it didn't take long, after the novelty passed, the feeling was just like that, motionless, there was no feeling of operating the plane at all.

Flying over the vast grassland, the scene on the ground is unobstructed, but revisiting the old place makes Gao Yang's heart begin to tighten more and more, as long as he has not found the Akuri tribe and confirmed that they are all safe and sound, Gao Yang's heart will not be able to let go.

Gao Yang didn't dare to move the joystick after all, to find some flying feeling, and when he began to feel bored, he saw a large herd of cattle appear on the ground, and the ground was dotted with mud huts.

Seeing the sight of people on the ground, Gao Yang couldn't help but look down and observe, the plane soon flew over the nomadic tribe he saw, and when Gao Yang retracted his gaze, the pilot sitting next to him said with interest: "Go hunting?" ”

"yes, go hunting."

"You're going alone? Do you want to stay for a long time? ”

"I'm going alone, I think I'll stay for a few days."

The pilot waved his hand very confidently and said loudly: "You're dead, man, you're going to the steppe alone in this season, you're dead." ”

Gao Yang smiled slightly and didn't say anything, of course he knew the danger of the savannah, but he had lived in this grassland for three years, and it was not too difficult for him to survive.

"It's too late for you to regret it, if you want to hunt, you'd better hire two guides. Prepare your stuff well. You think you're fine with a gun? No. What killed you is something you can't do with a gun, listen to me, you should go back to Malakal and hire a few men. ”

The deadliest thing in the savannah is indeed not the beast, but all kinds of poisonous snakes and mosquitoes, which Gao Yang knows well and has suffered.

Now Gao Yang has enough knowledge and means to survive on the grassland, although he doesn't need to explain much, but the pilot's words are also well-intentioned. So Gao Yang still smiled and said, "Xie Lu, thank you for the reminder, but I can handle it." ”

The pilot pursed his lips and said, "Whatever you want, but you'd better be careful, and call for help if you think things are not good, maybe I can pick you up in time, and remind you that you have to be careful to avoid the tribes of the Dinka and Nuer, they are now at war, especially the Nuer." You'd better stay away from them, especially from their cattle. ”

Gao Yang was a little surprised. Said: "This is not consistent with the news I heard, isn't it very stable now, what, is there a war now?" ”

The pilot Ha Luha smiled and said, "Man, when did the Dingka and Nuer people stop fighting?" Pastures, water sources, cattle, they compete with each other for everything, as long as they meet, they have to fight, as long as they fight, they have to die, of course you can't hear these news in the city, the so-called peace, it's just that the two tribes have not yet started a full-scale war, but the battle between the tribes has never stopped. ”

After finishing speaking, the pilot pointed his hand to the ground and said loudly: "Look over there, another tribe, and the tribe I just saw are about to get together, if these two tribes belong to different ethnic groups, then soon a conflict will break out." ”

Gao Yang couldn't help frowning and said, "So serious? ”

The pilot nodded, and said, "It's so serious, you wait and see, the Dinka and Nuer people will soon have a full-scale war, and now they are all trying their best to expand their territory, I can guarantee that it won't be long before there will be a big war." ”

Gao Yang was a little worried, and said, "Where is the area where they are active now?" I mean, is there a tribe of Dinka or Nuer where I'm going? ”

"I haven't seen it, I flew near where you're going not long ago, I didn't see a herd of cattle, but their migration speed is very fast, no one knows where they will migrate, if you meet the tribe of the Dinka people, it's better, the Dinka people are more open, they are more receptive to outsiders, but the Nuer people are different, the Nuer people are very xenophobic, their beliefs and habits are more primitive, so if you meet the Nuer people, it's best to stay away from them."

Gao Yang nodded and said, "Xie Lu, thank you for your advice, I will remember it, but how should I distinguish between the tribes of the Dinka and the Nuer?" ”

"The Dinka people are very tall, very tall, thin and tall, the average height of men can reach 1.95 meters, and women are also about 1.8 meters, and they are very dark, especially very black, see my complexion? It's a lot darker than me, as long as you see a big and tall person who is particularly black, it's a Dinka person, and the Nu people are basically the same as the Dinka people, and they are also thin and tall, but they are still shorter than the Dinka people, and they are not as black as the Dinka people, and their tattoos are also different, but these can't be explained to you in detail. ”

After taking everything the pilot said to heart, Gao Yang said in a deep voice: "Xie Luxie, thank you very much for telling me this." ”

The pilot waved his hand and said: "If you provoke a Dinka people, you will provoke a whole tribe, and if you provoke a tribe, it will be equivalent to provoking all the tribes near them, and they will not stop if they don't kill you, as for the Nuer people, but the Nuer people are more dangerous, the Nuer people who live in the city are better, but the nomadic Nuer tribe is very xenophobic, and they sometimes take the initiative to attack people, but in any case, it is not the end of the day when you meet the tribe, what you need to worry about the most is those wandering militants." ”

The pilot was very talkative, he turned around, and pointed his fingers: "Both the armed forces of the Dinka and the Nuer are very dangerous, they are neither city dwellers nor tribes, these people do all kinds of evil, they can kill people without any reason at all, especially the Nuer militants, they sometimes even loot towns, and they will kill complete strangers for fun." ”

Gao Yang once fought with the Nuer, and the attack he received when he met Professor Buck and Catherine was the joint work of the vulture mercenary group and the Nuer, and without asking anything, he directly killed all the people in Professor Buck's camp when he came up, and he was also a militant of the Nuer.

Morgan is now cooperating with a large tribe of the Dinka tribe to develop an oil field, and now Morgan only bought a piece of land from the Dinka tribe, but Gao Yang does not know where the oil field is located, only that he and his people stay in South Sudan to work for the development of oil fields.

After arriving in Malakal, Colm had already explained to Gao Yang in detail about the affairs of the Dinka and Nuer, and Gao Yang also knew a little about it, but the situation in Malakal City, where Colm was located, was much better, and the oil field to be developed was also located in the Dinka gathering area, so from Colm's eyes, the situation was not much serious, but for the pilots, the locals who flew everywhere, they were obviously more aware of the situation here.

The main range of activities of the Dinka and Nuer people is closer to the banks of the Blue Nile, and the area where the Akuri tribe operates is far away from the Blue Nile, if you want to graze, it is okay in the rainy season, but in the dry season, the grass and water sources cannot support the grazing requirements, so Gao Yang has lived in this grassland for three years, and has not seen a nomadic tribe.

Gao Yang felt that things should not change much, and even if the Dinka and Nuer began to fight for territory, they would still be suitable for grazing, and should not reach the more primitive areas where the Akuri tribe operated.

Where the tribe doesn't go, the militants won't go, and the Arkuri tribe is the one where people have been killed by unknown militants, and then the Arkuri tribe will move all the way south, closer to the rainforest, to hide from the threatening militants.

Gao Yang pondered for a moment before saying in a deep voice, "Do you know that the militants of those tribes are mainly operating there now?" Do you think there will be traces of them where we are going? ”

The pilot Ha Luha smiled, stretched out his hand and drew a big circle in the air, and said loudly: "They can go there, they will appear anywhere, these people rob the cattle of the other tribe, they will also poach, ivory, and live cheetahs, these are all money, in exchange for cash, they will do anything." ”

After finishing speaking, the pilot said with great interest: "I once went to the grassland with people to transport cheetahs, small cheetahs, bought from poachers, if the object of the transaction is militants, I don't dare to go, they use traps to trap the female cheetah with cubs, kill the big cheetah, leave the small one, the Middle Easterners will pay a lot of money to buy it, do you know how much a little leopard is worth?" ”

"How much?"

"A million! Dollar! Those who catch cheetahs can exchange a cheetah for 50,000 to 100,000 US dollars, and buy it from those poachers for only 50,000 to 100,000 US dollars, but 1 million is just the money made by the middleman, and it is said that after the baby cheetah is transported to the Middle East alive, it can be sold for more money, but I don't know how much. ”

Gao Yang was not an extreme conservationist, he had to hunt every day when he was in the Akuri tribe, but that was just to survive, as long as there was enough prey to eat, he would never kill any more animals.

The practice of the Akuri tribe does not cause any ecological problems, but it is unacceptable to hunt animals that are becoming increasingly rare for fun, especially if poachers can quickly disappear a species.

Although he carries a shotgun, Gao Yang only does it for self-preservation, and if necessary, he will also aim the gun at an antelope or something, but he will never hunt elephants or lions just for fun.

The pilot didn't pay attention to the disapproving look on Gao Yang's face, and he said curiously: "What prey do you want to fight?" Most people come here to hunt an elephant or a male lion, and these two types of prey are the most popular. ”

Gao Yang shrugged his shoulders and said, "If they didn't attack me, I wouldn't fight anything, I just came to find someone, to find a primitive tribe, do you know where there is a primitive tribe?" ”

The pilot suddenly realized: "Are you engaged in humanities?" Earlier, I really know where there is a primitive tribe in Ludao, it's not too far from where you're going, do you need to fly over and have a look? (To be continued......)
