Chapter 299: A Bullet Case
Gao Yang didn't know how to explain to the pilot, he was looking for a primitive tribe more like visiting relatives than doing some research, if he really wanted to say, how to get involved with a primitive tribe had to be explained for a long time.
Gao Yang's original plan was to take a plane to the coordinates where he and the Akuri tribe were separated, and then start to circle around to see if he could find any traces of human activity, if he found it, of course it would be the best, if there was a suitable place for the plane to land, then land directly nearby, if he couldn't land, mark the coordinates and take the plane back, and then drive again.
But if the pilot had seen a village with primitive tribes, it would have been much easier.
"Are you sure you've seen a village where primitive tribes gathered, where is it? Let's take a look. ”
After a few glances at the GPS, the pilot scratched his head and said: "I've only flown a short distance away, but it's impossible for me to point out the place right away, as if, I just seem to be able to remember about that location, flying in the air is not the same as driving on the road, if it's not a fixed route, then I can only try to find it." ”
Gao Yang said helplessly: "Then you still said that you can fly over directly." ”
"I mean, fly straight to the route I used to take."
Gao Yang waved his hand and said, "Okay, fly directly to the route you know about the Lu Dao, and if you don't find anything, you can turn back to our destination." ”
The plane was handed back to the pilot, who turned and flew on the route the pilot had said.
The scene on the grassland is inherently the same, especially in the air, and it is almost impossible to rely on the markers on the ground to tell where it is. What you can rely on is the various navigation instruments on the plane.
After driving the plane to the route in memory. Flew again for about an hour. Gao Yang looked beyond where he wanted to go, but there was no primitive tribe on the ground that the pilot had said.
Gao Yang had begun to lose patience, and the pilot also had doubts about his memory, and it didn't take long for the pilot to finally shake his head and say, "This won't work, we have to go around the neighborhood a few times." ”
"Listen to you, what to do is up to you."
When an aircraft conducts an aerial search, it is generally conducted in two modes. One is to fly according to the Z-shaped route, this mode is usually a multi-aircraft search with each plane, and each aircraft can search according to the demarcated route, and the other is to circle over the demarcated area and gradually expand the range of the circle.
Gao Yang They are obviously more suitable for circling and flying in circles over the target airspace, and the pilot controls the aircraft to begin circling and gradually expand the search area.
After about twenty minutes passed, Gao Yang felt that the search area was large enough, but he never found any targets that looked like primitive tribes. Just as he was about to ask the pilot to drive the plane to its original destination, the pilot, who had been in charge of observing the left side, suddenly shouted: "Look where! ”
Gao Yang immediately looked in the direction of the pilot's finger. In the distance, he could see a few black things that looked like thatched huts, and before he could speak, the pilot had already flown the plane directly towards what might be a primitive tribe.
Gao Yang soon saw clearly, under a few large trees that were relatively close to each other, there were five conical huts built on the ground made of tree branches, and the plane began to hover less than fifty meters above those thatched huts, and everything on the ground could be seen clearly.
Gao Yang's heart was pounding, the simple thatched hut on the ground was the same as the thatched hut of the Akuri tribe, although it was possible that it was other tribes, but it must belong to the same ethnic group as the Akuri tribe, but Gao Yang preferred to think that this was the Akuri tribe.
Although it is not certain yet, at least it is very likely that it is from the Akuri tribe, and it can be found so quickly, which makes Gao Yang overjoyed, but he was happy for a long time, but he quickly felt doubtful.
The survival mode of the Akuri tribe is extremely primitive, and during the day the adult men go back to hunting, while the women and children go to gather food, but there should be at least a few people in the tribe, the plane has been circling in the sky for a long time, Gao Yang does not believe that someone in the tribe will not come out to take a few looks.
Gao Yang looked around the thatched hut, and also saw no movement on the grassland, which made Gao Yang very disappointed, he thought that the thatched hut below might have been abandoned.
After retracting his gaze, Gao Yang said loudly, "Can you land?" ”
The pilot looked at it, shook his head and said, "It's not nearby, there are too many trees, and it's not flat enough, do you need to land?" ”
Gao Yang nodded and said, "Landing, the tribe below us may have been abandoned, but I have to go and see to be sure." ”
The pilot shouted: "Okay, I'll go find somewhere." ”
Although it is still a savanna landform, there are already more trees in the place where they are located, there can be no trees nearby, there can be no water, and it is not so easy to find a place that is flat enough and long enough, the pilot searched in the air for more than ten minutes, and every time he found a place that seemed to be possible, he really flew to find that there were still various problems.
When I finally found a suitable place to land, I was at least a dozen kilometers away from the place where the thatched hut was found.
Waiting for the plane to just stop, Gao Yang, who was frightened during the landing process, immediately jumped off the plane, and then he said to the pilot: "You wait for me here, I'll come back when I go to see, we may need to continue searching." ”
The pilot shook his head and said, "No, the remaining fuel is only enough to fly back, I can wait here for you to come back and fly back together, but if you want to look for it again, you will have to wait until tomorrow, but I have other things to do tomorrow, so you either have to find other planes, or you will have to wait four days at the earliest." ”
Gao Yang hesitated for a moment, but still said in a deep voice: "Since this is the case, then you can leave now, whether that tribe has been abandoned or not, I have to stay here for a few days, maybe I can find the direction of their migration, if I need to use your plane, then I will call you in four days." ”
After making an agreement with the pilot, Gao Yang watched the plane take off again and leave, looked at the GPS, determined the direction of the thatched houses, and immediately began to trot forward.
When the Akuri tribe built thatched houses, they had their own habits, and Gao Yang was sure that as long as he looked closely, he would be able to know if the thatched huts were left by the Akuri tribe, and if so, even if the Akuri tribe had moved elsewhere, he was confident that he could find some traces, at least in that direction to know where he should look next.
Running on the long-lost grassland, Gao Yang's mood was excited and apprehensive, the speed of running was getting faster and faster, and he couldn't wait to go to the familiar thatched hut to see what was going on.
The distance of more than ten kilometers can only be regarded as a warm-up for Gao Yang, and when he saw those thatched houses, when there were still two or three hundred meters away from the thatched houses, jogging turned into a wild run.
In the vicinity of the thatched hut, the new grass has just grown, sparsely pulled, and the height can only be lower than the ankle, and it can be seen that there are still people here not long ago, and the time will never exceed three days, because after entering the rainy season, if no one steps on it, the crazy green grass will not take a week to spread the open space, and there is no difference from the rest of the grassland.
Gao Yang slowed down and walked to a thatched house.
The so-called thatched house is actually just a circle with tree branches, and the roof is made of thatch, and the temperature on the grassland here is not low all year round, so the walls circled by branches are full of gaps, and the wind is ventilated on all sides, and the so-called thatched house only plays a role in keeping out the rain and resisting the beasts.
The thatched hut has a door, and the so-called door is just a wooden raft made of branches, and when sleeping, the wooden raft is blocked at the door and then used a wooden stick against it, and now the wooden raft is thrown on the side of the thatched house.
Gao Yang was sure that there was no one here, and before entering the thatched house, Gao Yang took down his shotgun in case the house was occupied by some wild beast.
After entering the thatched house, the scene he saw immediately made Gao Yang's eyes widen, his hands and feet only felt cold, and his body froze and couldn't move.
The thatched hut was not as empty as Gao Yang had expected, and there were a few animal skins on the ground.
Although it is only a few animal skins, the meaning of the representation is very unusual, for the people of the Akuri tribe, all the materials are very precious, if they are normal migration, then there will be nothing left except thatched huts, not to mention that in terms of what the Akuri tribe has, there is nothing inconvenient to carry.
After standing for a long time, Gao Yang took a few steps back, and immediately ran to the nearest other thatched hut, and when he entered, he only felt that it was difficult to breathe, because the small thatched hut was also covered with animal skins, and there were two bows and a few poisoned arrows in the corner.
Gao Yang immediately realized that something had happened to the people of this tribe, and for the Akuri tribe, the bow and poisoned arrows were their most important means of livelihood, and they could lose everything, but they must not lose their bows and arrows.
After seeing the bow and arrows, Gao Yang took a deep breath, and then in an indescribable mood, he withdrew from the thatched hut, and the first thing he now figured out was whether this tribe was the Akuri tribe or not.
The Akuri tribe also has the same ethnic group, but it is rare to meet and get together, and the method of building thatched houses is also similar, and Gao Yang must distinguish whether these thatched houses were built by the Akuri tribe.
Gao Yang glanced at the thatched hut twice, but he couldn't confirm it, so Gao Yang planned to see the largest thatched hut, the largest thatched hut was usually inhabited by the chieftain, and the difference was the most obvious.
Gao Yang walked towards the largest thatched hut, and at the same time did not forget to observe the ground around him, he had only walked a few steps before he made a discovery, and after taking a few steps forward, he picked up a bullet case from the ground. (To be continued......)
