Repairer Chapter 106

  Chapter 106 The first night in no man's land

   "People are scarier than beasts!"

  Batur said in unfluent Mandarin: "Poachers, kill animals, kill people!"

   "There are still poachers?"

  Su Xiaofan felt a little unbelievable. He had watched a documentary before, which was about poachers.

  Watching the contents of the documentary on TV, Su Xiaofan felt very far away from himself. He never thought that it would be possible for him to deal with these people.

   "A lot of money!" Batur explained the reason for the existence of poachers in one sentence, which is naturally a benefit.

  In Dajiang Province, poaching is the most common and rampant crime, and the reason why it has been banned repeatedly is the amazing profit chain behind poaching.

   "Money touches people's hearts." Su Xiaofan nodded. The huge profits of poachers are indeed irresistible to many people. He has seen it in documentaries.

  If a falcon living in Dajiang Province is sold to a prince in the Middle East, the price will be as high as one million US dollars. Therefore, the profits of poaching can be said to be incomparable to any crime.

   "Batur, shall we still go there?" Su Xiaofan looked at Batur, he didn't really want to deal with these people.

   "In the past, ignore them." Batur used to be a herdsman living in the Ajin Mountains and was familiar with poachers.

  Batur knew that although these people were very cruel, they would not do anything that would harm others without touching their interests.

   On the contrary, if you camp in the wild, you will encounter big trouble.

  Don't look at the temperature in this place near no man's land at night as low as minus ten degrees, there will still be wild beasts out to hunt.

  The most common is wolves, which have been extinct in many places, but they still exist in no-man's land, because there are many natural prey such as wild donkeys and goats.

   Someone once drove through no-man's land and camped in the wild, but in the end he was gnawed by wolves and only a bone remained.

  Wolves are very cunning animals. They will bite through car tires and trap people in cars. In this no-man's land where there is no signal at all, they can only sit and wait to die.

   "Park one car here, and only drive one over there." Su Xiaofan thought for a while, and made a decision. In case something happens and the car is destroyed over there, one car can be left behind.

  They have now entered the no-man's land for more than 200 kilometers, and the mobile phone has no signal. If the car is gone, they cannot get out on two legs alone.

   "Okay, drive your car there!" Batur nodded. The supplies in his car are more important and cannot be lost.

  Su Xiaofan and the others are currently located at a connection point between the Gobi Desert and the mountains. The terrain is undulating. They parked their car behind a mound, but they were discovered unexpectedly.

  At this time, the sky was completely dark, and the modified headlights shone far away on the abandoned military depot. Su Xiaofan could clearly see two figures walking out of the house.

   "They have guns!" Batur grabbed the gun placed beside him, his expression slightly tense.

   "It's okay, let's talk about it first." Su Xiaofan narrowed his eyes, and he also saw that one of the two people who came out was carrying a long gun on his back.

  The roar of birds of prey broke the silence of the night, and several beams of flashlights also shone from the front, and someone was waving at the car.

   After parking the Raptor on the open space in front of the military station, Su Xiaofan turned off the car and jumped off.

   "What are you doing?" A voice came from more than ten meters away.

   "We are meteorite hunters." Su Xiaofan replied, then asked: "What about you? What do you do?"

   "We...are mountaineering." The opposite party was a little dull, and said: "We are here to challenge the Ajin Mountains, and we will camp here temporarily."

   Perhaps seeing Su Xiaofan empty-handed, the person standing at the front waved his hands back, and the man with the gun turned around and entered the room.

   "Can I borrow a seat?"

  Su Xiaofan spread his hands, indicating that he did not have a weapon, "Brothers, you also know that there is only one camp nearby, and we have no other place to go."

   "Of course, there is a bonfire inside, so it's very warm. Come in." The man nodded, turned his body sideways, and motioned for Su Xiaofan to come over.

   "Batuer, come down, Duobao, you come down too." Su Xiaofan waved towards the car, and a black shadow jumped down from the open window on Batur's side, and landed on Su Xiaofan's shoulder.

   "Brother, what are you?"

  Seeing Duobao, the person standing in front of Su Xiaofan couldn't help squinting his eyes. Although he couldn't see clearly in the night, the impression of Duobao at this time was definitely not like an ordinary cat.

   "I only have a pet."

  Su Xiaofan smiled, didn't say much, and went straight to the man, saying: "There is no way in the wilderness, buddy, thank you."

   Walking closer, Su Xiaofan saw clearly the face of the person opposite.

The head man is in his thirties, with a shallow scar on his face from the corner of his mouth to his left eye. He is about 1.7 meters tall and very strong. In this low temperature of minus seven or eight degrees, he is wearing a leather jacket , looks very sturdy.

   "Shi Kai, what do you call brother?" The leader stretched out his hand to Su Xiaofan.

   "Su Xiaofan, hello Brother Shi!"

  As soon as Su Xiaofan held the opponent's hand, he felt a strong grip on his right hand. Su Xiaofan didn't fight back, but just looked at the opponent with a smile.

   "Brother Su, please come inside, it's too cold outside."

  Shi Kai's complexion changed a little bit, although just a little bit of force was exerted on his hand just now, but if it was an ordinary person, he would definitely cry out in pain, but Su Xiaofan in front of him seemed to have no feeling, making it hard to tell the depth.

"good."

  Su Xiaofan nodded, didn't say much, followed Shi Kai into the military station, and Batur also followed, with the shotgun he brought on his back.

  This abandoned military depot does not look very eye-catching from the outside, but the area inside is not small.

  Shi Kai and others lit a bonfire in the open space in the middle of the military depot. At this time, three people were grilling around the bonfire, and one of them was the one who had just come in with a gun.

   "Did the two of you eat? Would you like to have some together?" Shi Kai kicked a person beside the campfire, "Huzi, make room for him."

  Shi Kai should be the leader of this group, and the kicked person moved to the side, giving way to two people.

   "Okay, then I will not be polite."

  Su Xiaofan pulled Batur, sat down directly by the fire, looked at the two roasted and fragrant thighs on the fire, and couldn't help asking: "What kind of meat is this? It tastes so delicious?"

   "Wild donkey meat, I picked up one today, Brother Su, it's a coincidence that you came early."

  Shi Kai took out a dagger, cut off a piece of meat from the roasted yellow and oily thigh, and handed it to Su Xiaofan together with the dagger, his eyes flickered, observing Su Xiaofan's expression.

   "Dragon meat in the sky, donkey meat in the ground, these are good things." Su Xiaofan smiled, took the dagger, bit the donkey meat, and immediately felt a strange smell of meat in his mouth.

   "Not bad, good stuff, it's the first time to eat such delicious meat."

  Su Xiaofan nodded, gestured to Batur, and said, "Brother Batur, take out the wine in my backpack, and give it to the elder brothers."

Hearing Su Xiaofan's words, Batur called his backpack, took out two bottles of wine, and put them beside the campfire. He didn't even try to make excuses. He pulled out a small knife from his waist and cut a piece of donkey meat. eat up.

  Batur used to be a herdsman. Apart from grazing, he also hunted. He didn't have any concept of animal protection in his mind. Two bears died in the hands of him and his father.

  Of course, all the animals Batur killed went into his own stomach, and he would not take them out for sale. He was still somewhat different from these poachers.

"Brothers, drink some." Shi Kaikai opened the wine and poured half of the enamel jars for the people sitting by the campfire, including Su Xiaofan, but they didn't drink, but held the enamel jars to watch With Su Xiaofan.

   "I will do it first!"

  Su Xiaofan knew what they were thinking, raised his head and drank the wine in the vat, and the three taels of wine simmered away in one gulp, a tinge of red immediately appeared on Su Xiaofan's face.

   "Good guy, be refreshing!" Seeing Su Xiaofan drank the wine, those people lost their doubts and started drinking one after another.

   There was wine and meat, the cold was dispelled a lot, the atmosphere around the campfire suddenly became warmer, and the voices of those who were a little scrupulous became louder.

   "Brother Su, you are also an educated person, you won't look down on us brothers, right?"

  Shi Kai poured wine into Su Xiaofan's enamel jar again, and said, "To tell you the truth, we came here to earn some hard money, but we won't chase away those animals, and we haven't done anything to people."

  Shi Kai knew what he and the others were doing, and he couldn't hide it from the other party, so he said it straight to the point.

   "I can see that."

  Su Xiaofan laughed when he heard the words, cut a piece of donkey meat with a dagger, handed it to Duobao who was lying beside his leg, and said, "Brother Shi also recognizes what my pet is?"

   "Ocelot?"

  Shi Kai looked at Duobao carefully, shook his head, and said, "It should be a tiger cat. Oh, this thing is very difficult to tame. Where did you get it?"

  Being in the poaching business, Shi Kai is naturally familiar with those rare animals. He knows that there are no tiger cats in China, and pure tiger cats need to be smuggled in from abroad, and ordinary people cannot get them.

  In addition, there are no domesticated tiger cats in foreign countries. They belong to wild animals and are unruly. He had seen them in the home of a prince in the Alian Emirates, but that tiger cat was very wary of people, and even he was not very close to its owner.

   "I was raised since childhood, so I am very close to people."

  Su Xiaofan continued to feed Duobao, picked up the wine glass and touched Shi Kai, and said: "Brother Shi, it's not worthwhile to do this job these days."

   On the way here, when Su Xiaofan was chatting with Batur, he heard him talk about poaching. Now the country is severely cracking down on this aspect, and there are much fewer poaching teams in no-man's land.

   "I have no other skills, I can only rely on this line of work to make a living."

  Shi Kai smiled wryly, and said, "I don't hunt ordinary animals. This wild donkey was also killed by a leopard. We only catch Haidongqing, which can be sold at a high price."

  Shi Kai used to work as a mercenary abroad for several years, and he had a lot of opportunities. Later, he learned that the price of falcons in the Alian Emirates was extremely high, so he moved his mind, brought a few comrades back to China, and started this business.

   Not to mention, Shi Kai was lucky. He caught two young birds of Costin in the first year of his career. Since there was no middleman to increase the price, he directly sent the two young birds abroad, earning 800,000 US dollars.

   After making this deal, Shi Kai and his brothers shared the money and lived separately for a few years. Now they come out again, but the previous money is almost spent. If they want to catch a few more falcons, they may be able to retire.

   "Brother, what do you do?" Shi Kai looked at Su Xiaofan and asked.

  Shi Kai has been abroad for several years, and has met many important people, but today he is a bit confused about this young man, so his words are very polite.

   "Opening an antique shop, it can be regarded as reselling antiques."

  Su Xiaofan said: "Recently, I have become obsessed with collecting meteorites. There are few people in China who play this game, so I thought of searching for it by myself and trying my luck."

   Su Xiaofan doesn't have too much prejudice against people who work in this industry, and he is willing to chat with them, which can be regarded as gaining some of his own experience.

  The main body of society has a sunny side, but naturally also has a dark corner.

  As long as it is not the crime of murder and robbery, Su Xiaofan will classify it as a side business, and there are not a few people who hang around in the antique market.

   What's more, Shi Kai and the others are desperately trying to find falcons in this no-man's land, because in this kind of alpine region, if you are not careful, you will give your life to this place.

  Su Xiaofan himself has a first-class protected animal abroad, so naturally he has no right to criticize these people.

   "Are you really here to find the meteorite?"

  Before Shi Kai didn't really believe Su Xiaofan's words, how could someone who can drive such a good car be a meteorite hunter?

  Shikai also met some people who came to the Gobi to look for meteorites before, but those were all rented cars in the local area. It seemed that they were not doing well, and they didn't dare to go deep into the no-man's land, just wandering around.

   "Brother Shi, if you have seen these meteorites, you can also trade them with me." Su Xiaofan took out a meteorite from his backpack and handed it to Shi Kai.

  Since he is in the name of collecting meteorites, Su Xiaofan really wants to increase the number of meteorites he owns.

  Of course, Su Xiaofan will absorb the rare meteorites that can replenish the repair value, but other common meteorites can be collected along the way.

   "This thing is similar to a stone, I can't tell the difference." Shi Kai held the meteorite and looked it up for a while, then returned it to Su Xiaofan with a wry smile.

   But seeing the meteorite that Su Xiaofan took out, Shi Kai believed Su Xiaofan's words, he didn't come to find the meteorite, who would put a heavy stone in his backpack?

   "Brother Su, you tiger cat, do you want to sell it?" Shi Kai stared at Duobao on Su Xiaofan's shoulder and asked tentatively.

   "What? Did you fancy my little tiger cat?"

  Su Xiaofan looked at Shi Kai with a half-smile, and with his six senses fully open, he could sense that the other party didn't seem to be malicious.

   "No, hey, it counts."

  For some unknown reason, being stared at by Su Xiaofan, Shi Kai suddenly felt his heart beating a little faster.

  This feeling is like being stared at by an adult Hai Dongqing lying on the car glass when he stole a falcon baby bird and ran away in a car, feeling cold all over his body.

  Two people dared to break into no man's land. Shi Kai didn't think the other party was a fool, so he must have something to rely on, and he was not afraid of the large number of people on his side.

   "Brother Su, to tell you the truth, if your tiger cat gets the Alian Emirates, it can sell for at least 50,000 dollars."

Shi Kai said honestly: "If you meet someone you like, it is possible to sell it for 100,000 or 200,000 U.S. dollars. This tiger cat is yours. I can give you a line to let you trade directly with there. Just a little commission."

  Shi Kai worked as a mercenary abroad for five or six years, and later went to the Alian Emirates to work as a bodyguard for a few years, gaining a lot of knowledge from his employer.

  In the United Arab Emirates, the least valuable thing is probably money.

  Those little princes are all worth billions of dollars, and they are all the kind who have good reincarnation skills and are born to lie down and win.

   There is no pressure to survive, and there is no need to take over the business, so a large group of boring people have been bred. They are a bit like the Eight Banners children of China a hundred years ago, thinking about playing new things every day.

  Keeping ferocious animals is a big hobby of this group of people. Lions and tigers are routinely played. Rare ones can raise white tigers and black leopards. Tiger cats like Duobao, which are extremely aggressive, are also the favorite species of those people.

  Of course, the falcons are the favorite of that group of people. Anyone who goes out hunting without a falcon would be ashamed to call for friends. Even the worst kind of falcons start at $100,000.

  That's why Shi Kai took a huge risk to come to the Ajin Mountains again, and only this kind of no-man's land has wild falcons to survive.

   "Brother Shi, forget it, I'm not short of that money."

Hearing Shi Kai's words, Su Xiaofan shook his head and said: "Besides, my tiger cat is too aggressive. I'm afraid ordinary leopards can't bite it. It's too easy to hurt people when I go out. If I kill the buyer, how can I kill it?" Aren't you asking for trouble for yourself?"

  Su Xiaofan has been training Duobao recently, but the effect is limited to when he does not feel threatened, and he will not actively attack humans.

  Same as Su Xiaofan, Duobao also has an intuition, even more sensitive than Su Xiaofan, able to distinguish whether others treat it with good intentions or malice.

  When Shi Kai was looking at Duobao just now, Duobao was also looking at him. If Su Xiaofan hadn't been feeding the food to comfort the little guy, he might have already pounced on Shikai's throat.

   "That's really troublesome, let's forget it, come, drink!"

  Thinking that the tiger cat will kill those princes and rich people, Shi Kai couldn't help but shudder. If that kind of thing really happens, I'm afraid he will also be unlucky.

   Dispelling his thoughts on the tiger cat, Shi started to touch the enamel jar with Su Xiaofan. They also brought wine on this trip, but it was not as exciting as the wine.

   Today is considered a tiring day, Su Xiaofan doesn't drink much wine, but eats a lot of meat.

  The two donkey legs together weighed seventy to eighty catties. Shi Kai, Batur and others ate more than ten catties at most, and the remaining fifty or sixty catties went into the stomachs of Su Xiaofan and Humao.

  Recently, Duobao's food intake has also increased again. A meal of giant python meat can eat two to three catties, and ordinary meat is not enough. Half of the seventy to eighty catties of donkey meat went into Duobao's stomach.

  However, it can grow as fast as it eats. The current Duobao is almost one meter long, and its smooth body lines are full of strength. Anyone with a discerning eye can immediately see the difference between Duobao and a domestic cat.

  Drinking a meal lasted until after ten o'clock in the night, and basically everyone was stumbling around. Shi Kai added two pieces of fixed fuel to the bonfire to ensure that the bonfire would last until the next day.

  Batur staggered out of the car to take out the tent, propped it up in an abandoned house, and there were sleeping bags in the tent, even sleeping in the low temperature of minus seven or eight degrees was very comfortable.

  The howling of wolves one after another sounded from not far away. It might be the flames of the fear military station, but they never approached.

   "Brother Shi, can that tiger cat really sell for so much money?" A very low voice rang out from the house opposite Su Xiaofan.

  "Yes, but this one probably won't work. Adult tiger cats are difficult to feed. If something happens, we will all be unlucky." Shi Kai's voice was sober, not at all drunk after drinking.

  Hearing what Shi Kai said, the man fell silent. For them, many things are not impossible, but it depends on whether they are worthwhile.

   "In these days, fools may not live long, and those who can come out are smart people."

  Looking at Batur who was holding a shotgun with his eyes open in the sleeping bag next to the tent, Su Xiaofan suddenly laughed, and went out to learn more. The drunk brothers who were acting just now were all good at acting.

   "Brother Batur, you go to sleep, I will watch."

  Su Xiaofan told Batur that he could just use meditation instead of sleep, and after getting through the Great Zhou, the cultivation did not consume so much mental energy.

   "Three o'clock, I'll change you!"

  Batur didn't talk nonsense. In this extremely cold environment on the plateau, if you don't rest well, you won't be able to do anything the next day. Altitude sickness alone will make you overwhelmed.

   While Su Xiaofan was meditating and Batur was sleeping, the tiger cat slipped out quietly.

  A moment later, the howling of wolves outside suddenly disappeared, Su Xiaofan opened his eyes and smiled, and started practicing again.

  Batur was also very tired, he didn't wake up at three o'clock, Su Xiaofan didn't call him, let him sleep until dawn.

   Batur woke up in the morning with a look of self-blame on his face. He became so careless in the wild that accidents were easy to happen.

  But a burst of yelling from outside diverted Batur's attention.

   "Six wild wolves, all dead."

  Beside the bonfire that had been burning all night, there was a row of six wolf carcasses.

  The fur on these wolves is gray, and they should weigh about seventy to eighty catties. This month is when the prey is the most, and every wolf eats fat and round bodies.

  At their throats, there is a scar that looks like a dagger cut. This scar is so deep that it almost cuts all the blood vessels in the wolf's neck. It is definitely a fatal blow.

   "What animal killed this?"

  Shi Kai and the others who gathered the wild wolf corpses did not look very good-looking.

   As the saying goes, three wolves subdue the tiger and five wolves subdue the bear. As long as there are more than three wolves gathered in a pack, they dare to grab food from the tiger and bear's mouth, which shows the ferocity of the wolf pack.

  But the six wild wolves, who were in their prime, died quietly.

Shi Kai and the others didn't even hear the howling of wild wolves fighting last night, that is to say, the killing of their animals was done in a very short period of time, and this small pack of wolves didn't even have the slightest chance to fight back. force.

   "Brother Su, you have to be careful when you go out, there are some powerful animals around here."

  Seeing Su Xiaofan and Batur coming out, Shi Kai kindly reminded them.

  In the darkness of night, even if they had guns on their bodies, it would be difficult for them to deal with the elusive pack of wolves. It can be seen that the creature that killed the pack of wolves was not something they could contend with.

  Shi Kai had the idea of ​​leaving no man's land at this meeting. Money is certainly a good thing, but it takes life to enjoy it.

   Eyes swept behind Su Xiaofan inadvertently, Shi Kai's body froze suddenly.

  Because Shi Kai saw that the paws of the tiger cat lying on the door of the house were stained with frozen blood.

   Thanks to the leader of LATTE for the reward, thank you old iron.
