Chapter 198: Pursuit in the Wilderness (Part 2)

The guide is an old and a daughter, and is a pair of grandparents. The old man is 65 years old and has lived in the wild since he was a child. He is a standard old hunter in the wilderness. His granddaughter is a college graduate of the natural agriculture and forestry at the University of New Tang. He just graduated this year and was twenty-two.

The old man's name is Pike, and his granddaughter is Mina. Mina has lived with his grandfather since he was a child. When he was in high school, he would return to his grandfather's house every holiday and hunt with his grandfather. Their faces had totem tattoos. They introduced that Pike was a mixed-race child, his father was an Indian, and he inherited the tattoo tradition of the ethnic group. Since Mina could not hunt large animals in this era, there were only entry-level tattoos.

Wild pursuit is part of the work of bounty hunters. Nütang is not bad, such as some southwest states, wilderness is large, with Gobi, desert, mountains, and canyons. Common unmanned areas of hundreds of square kilometers. Hunters often chase criminals into these terrain. Transportation is diverse, including cars, helicopters, horses, and even hiking. What’s more extreme is that Alaska winter hunters pull sleds and drink strong wine to chase fugitives in the snow and silence of ice and snow.

...

Pique and his granddaughter looked at the map and pointed and pointed. The map was strategically planned, and the football was divided into ten zones. Pique greeted the two and said, "These three circles are the places with the most resources, unlimited fresh water and sufficient fish resources. If I were a fugitive, I would definitely choose these three areas because I could live a long life."

Pique explained the reason. One of the most difficult food sources to survive in the wild is fat. Rabbits and deer have almost no fat, and fish are the most important sources of fat.

Yuan Wang asked: "Which circle is the most likely one?" The three circles are in the two, five and eight areas respectively. Although helicopters were hired, in order to avoid alerting the enemy, the guide did not agree to transport people directly to the target point.

Pique looked at Mina, who wrapped her hair with a cloth strip, and looked very energetic. She pointed to the fifth area: "Here. There is a rich yellow bamboo here. Huangzhu is an excellent construction material. It is easy to process and has a wide range of uses. The fifth area is dense forest and easy to get lost, which can effectively avoid the pursuit of a few people. In addition, there is a forest ranger in the fifth area, which stocks up resources for the inmates. There are help calls, sleeping bags, biscuits, canned food and fresh water, etc. If I were a fugitive, I would definitely not let this resource go. Once I can't live or have difficulties in life, I can get some supplies from the forest ranger."

Mina said: "Whether hunters or survival experts are hunting, they all know the location of the ranger. Because the location of the ranger is specially explained by the City Hall, every field staff must know the location." There are clear marks of the ranger on the map, which is convenient for those who are in distress to go.

Yuan Wang agreed: "Then we will aim to the forest ranger. Our arrest will last up to five days, and within five days we must return to the camp."

"Only one area can be searched for five days." Mina pointed to the sixth district river channel: "We can take a helicopter to get here and walk ten kilometers to the ranger."

"..." Yuan Wang and Chopin looked at each other. Walking through the forest in the mountains is much more difficult than climbing ten kilometers.

Mina pointed to the vicinity of the Fifth District Rooftop Lodge: “The Fifth Cost House is built in the middle of a conspicuous meadow, and the Fifth Cost House can serve as a place for us to evacuate.”

Yuan Wang asked carefully: "Is there a closer landing point?"

Mina shook her head: "It may be, but it may alarm the prey. Walking from the sixth zone is also considering the wind direction, we are at the downwind, and the prey can't smell us."

Yuan Wang reminded: "What we want to arrest is human, not animals."

Mina replied: "For a person like Turk who has more than ten years of experience in the wild, he has the sense of animal smell. This is the best place to land I have considered."

Chopin: "Is Mr. Pique's health OK?"

Pique smiled with a wrinkled face: "You'll know."

Mina said: "I have my luggage equipped and I can't bring anything except the necessary items."

Yuan Wang: "Mina, you have the momentum of an expert."

Mina responded: "I am indeed an expert in this land."

...

Carrying a large mountaineering bag, checking weapons and equipment, the four of them took a helicopter to reach the sixth zone. They agreed with the helicopter that if they did not receive new information, they would wait for evacuation near the ranger in five days, and then they would use colored smoke bombs to guide them.

Mina brought a modified rifle with an effective range of 30 meters. It was actually a special gun that fired anesthesia missiles. What opened Yuan Wang and Chopin's eyes was a gun left to him by Pike. It was a 38-large cover and a four-fold scope.

On the way to the forest ranger, Pique told Yuan Wang and Chopin the source of the gun.

The first battle that Pike's father, as a recruit, participated in was the Iwo Jima battle. They were trapped in a position by the Japanese army for a whole day. The Japanese army completely dominated the battle with a high advantage. During the battle, Pika's father found that the M1 Garland rifle could not pose a threat to the enemy at all, so he touched the 38th cover from the pile of corpses on the position. This gun killed three machine gunners in this battle, giving everyone some chance to breathe.

According to Pike's father, the US military's M1903 was not as accurate as the 38th large cover at that time. The disadvantage of the 38th large cover was that it was low lethality. At that time, soldiers who were not hit by the key points could survive. The advantages were high stability, low recoil, and new recruits were quick to get started.

In the subsequent battle, Pique's father became a company sniper, using this 38th hood.

Pique: "This gun has the most glorious moment. At that time, the Japanese mortar positions were often set behind the hillside. The commander reconnaissanced on the top of the hillside and adjusted the angle to shoot according to the commander's observation. This mode made the US military suffer a lot at that time and could not hit the opponent. They either attacked the opponent's fortifications from the bottom up, or could only rely on air superiority to bomb the position."

Pique's father used this gun to shoot two Japanese artillery commanders in a row with more than 500 meters away, making it impossible for the Japanese army to open fire. Relying on this gun, Pique's father's company occupied the Japanese mortar position with a small number of casualties.

Listening to the story, walking on the mountain road. Mina led the way, Pique and Yuan Wang and Chopin chatted. The journey was easier and more interesting than the two imagined.

After entering the forest, Mina said very little, and asked Pique to whisper repeatedly. After stopping it, Mina pulled the distance to fifty meters.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, four people arrived at the edge of the forest. Yuan Wang took the telescope and saw the forest ranger. Yuan Wang emphasized for the third time: "We do not have the right to shoot Turk. We can only use the weapons unless he possesses a weapon of destruction and has a tendency to attack."

There are more than 300 meters away from the forest ranger. Even if you see Teke, you can't catch anyone.

Mina walked around: "Camp."

Camping is very simple for people carrying modern equipment. Find a relatively flat piece of land and open the tent. The tent is simpler. Just like opening an umbrella, just open it and fix it.

Mina led Yuan Wang to the edge of the forest. An exponentially kilometer-high cliff was a cliff several tens of meters high. Under the cliff was a dense forest. Mina said: "This cliff is called the Liaido Cliff. More than 400 years ago, Indians lived under this cliff. This cliff has water, a swamp on the side, and is rich in food. The forest provides wood and a large amount of yellow bamboo. It can be said to be a perfect gathering place."

Yuan Wang: "What are your plans?"

Mina said: "We passed through this open area at one o'clock in the morning. The first job was to check whether there were signs of being used by the ranger. The second job was to enter the forest opposite before five o'clock in the morning."

Yuan Wang said: "No, right? I have been walking on the mountain road for a day, and I still have to walk tonight?" Oh my god!

Mina looked at Yuan Wang: "You have good physical fitness and should be fine."

Yuan Wang: "This M4 is also of good quality, but I won't use him to smash the door." Do you have to make trouble if you have good health? Isn't this a bad currency driving out good coins?

Mina paused for a few seconds and asked, "What do you mean by this sentence?"

Yuan Wang spread his hands and didn't know how to answer.

Mina explained her reason for doing this: "The forest we are in is very barren and has almost no edible natural resources. Turk is very likely to live under the cliff. Although Turk is not a hunter, he is a survival expert. Therefore, we need to approach each other more secretly and slowly. Therefore, our search speed will be very slow, and we must arrive at the opposite side before the early morning tomorrow. After we arrive, we can truly set up camp and start a team search."

Yuan Wang didn't understand: "What does it mean?"

Mina said: "Whether I discover his whereabouts first, or he discovers our whereabouts first. Tell me, once Tell me, once we find us, I will escape immediately. After I understand the surrounding terrain, I cannot tell how he will escape. Therefore, the only way to catch Tell is to discover his whereabouts first. As a wild survival expert, he will search out to understand resources and terrain with his camp as the center. Once he finds his traces, he can be sure that he is not far from us."

Mina: "This is also the principle of hunting. You are hunters, and we are also hunters. When you catch bad guys, you will definitely not want to alarm them. You will understand them from the side information and then slowly approach them. The same is true for us. We understand the whereabouts of prey through details such as environment and feces. From the perspective of prey, whether it is a human or an animal, if you find yourself a target, you will inevitably run away in panic."

Yuan Wang took out the map: "How far is this far from the far town?"

Mina: "The other side of the cliff is Yuanzhen. Yuanzhen is about seven kilometers away from the cliff. Yuanzhen was a gathering place for hunters in his early years. However, due to the indiscriminate killing, animals in this area became extinct. On the plus side, this land became a Class A resource, and on the bad side, it naturally destroyed the ecology."

Mina's insight is unique. Now people say that protecting nature, animals, and plants should not interfere with the laws of nature. Mina believes that humans should be a balanced weight. She believes that nature is not balanced. Such as tigers, they have poor reproduction ability, and are aggressive in the group, so they cannot form a scale. Mina gave an example of crocodiles. When crocodiles are flooded without natural enemies, aquatic resources are completely destroyed. For example, there are at least one million crocodiles in Florida, and they need countless food every day. This group continues to expand because they have no natural enemies. And because of food scarcity, it begins to migrate along the river, causing fatal damage to the ecology.

This is the view of hunters. Their concept is not to kill indiscriminately, but to control a certain animal population to protect nature. Of course, hunters cannot be self-disciplined, so they must be regulated by law. For example, kangaroos listed as national symbols are not protected by law, and the local area even encourages people to hunt and eat kangaroos. The reason is that they have become rampant, causing damage to the ecology and even to the normal life of human beings.

Yuan Wang didn't understand this and did not have the right to express his opinions. Compared with Mina's opinion, Yuan Wang felt that his thinking was very self-centered and narrow-minded. But Mina's arguments were wrong with the mainstream. However, narrow-mindedness also had benefits. Whether it was right or not, Mina was right if she was an acquaintance. If there were more familiar people, more familiar people were right. For such unprincipled things, Yuan Wang was easy to talk to.

Fearing to disturb the possible existence of Tek, the dinner did not ignite, after eating some food, they returned to the tent to rest. Due to fatigue, Yuan Wang and Chopin even snored.

In the early morning, Mina woke the two of them, packed up her things and started to march. Wild survivors usually do not leave the camp at night because they cannot predict possible animal threats, which is why they prefer to call their camps a shelter. During the day, Turk may cruising on the edge of the forest to find food or observe the terrain. After all, the resources in the range hut are very rich.

Similar rescue equipment and supplies for those who are in distress are abundant, such as standard ships and lifeboats, which contain a large amount of fresh water and food. There are even comprehensive supplies such as ropes and signal guns.

Yuan Wang and Chopin had no experience in walking on the wild road at night and were stumbling. In view of this situation, Pique took Chopin away. Yuan Wang took advantage of it and Mina shook his hands and left.

Along the way, the four people discussed the commonality between the bounty hunter and the hunter. Mina said it very reasonably, and the two have the same effect. Yuan Wang asked: "Mina, are you interested in becoming a city hunter?"

Mina replied without hesitation: "No. In more than two months, I will be a formal forest ranger of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. At the same time, I am doing my own research and preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination paper."

Chopin asked curiously: "What paper?"

Mina: "Ecological protection. I think ecological protection is not only protection, but humans, as primates, should actively intervene in the natural ecology. At the appropriate time, the jungle law of the strong must be changed. Ramapo is the main object of my research. The area where we are once a region where hunters kill indiscriminately, and mammals are almost extinct. However, if you look at the ecology forty years, you will find that the natural ecology in this area is far better than the ecology in other areas."

Mina said: "I think under objective conditions, animals have great destructive power to ecology and nature."

Chopin obviously opposed Mina's view. He believed that humans should not interfere in nature and should allow it to develop. The two sides debated all the way, and Yuan Wang, who was shaking hands, felt like a light bulb. He couldn't speak, and the two thought they didn't exist. What's more excessive was that Mina threw away Yuan Wang and came to Chopin to argue. It happened that Chopin's cunning foot slippery, so the two held hands like that.

The most excessive thing is that Mina took off her left gloves, took off her Chopin gloves, shook hands together, and said, "You can feel whether I am a cold-blooded animal for yourself? Just feel it. How many things do you mean to hold on to me?
