There were quite a number of poachers. Li Du recalled that when he met them on the road, there were at least twenty of them. When he searched in the helicopter, he realized that there were even more of them.
These people had surrounded the camp. Just as Brother Wolf had said, they had no intention of attacking or occupying the camp. Their goal was to surround the camp and not attack. They wanted to trap the veterans inside.
Originally, they had more than twice the number of the poachers. Although the veterans were brave and good at fighting, they were old and could not rush out after being trapped in the camp.
Everyone treasured their lives. When the veterans realized that they were surrounded, they only wanted to protect themselves and did not dare to rush out. There were too many guns outside. If they rushed out, they would either be captured or killed.
However, when Li Du's side joined the battle, the situation changed.
Firstly, the poachers' advantage in numbers turned into a disadvantage. Secondly, Li Du's side had the helicopter to scout, the radio to communicate with the soldiers, the heavy SUVs to attack, and they also cooperated with the veterans to attack from both sides.
Under such circumstances, the poachers could not fight back at all. Moreover, the enemy was stronger and more prepared.
Li Du relayed the information he had obtained to Brother Wolf. Brother Wolf sent out a few teams and succeeded in capturing more than ten poachers in no time.
The remaining less than twenty people panicked. They had been scared by the helicopter the night before. Now, the helicopter was here again. There were also the SUVs that looked like steel monsters. How were they going to fight back?
The intense gunfight that Li Du had expected did not happen. Everyone treasured their lives. When they realized that they were surrounded, half of the poachers surrendered.
The remaining half wanted to run. However, they could only use the off-road motorcycles. With the helicopter on them, they had nowhere to run.
Perhaps the SUVs were too big to capture them. However, the veterans had pickup trucks. They drove like crazy and were very familiar with the surroundings. The poachers could not escape.
The battle lasted for two hours. In fact, the exchange of gunfire had only lasted for twenty minutes. After that, the poachers were defeated and ran away. For the next one and a half hours, they had been capturing them.
Steve leaned against the hatch and ate an apple. He said unhappily, "This money is wasted. Twenty thousand per person? It should be two thousand per person. "
The bodyguards were fine. Most of them were veterans who had received security training. The people that Steve had chosen had been to the battlefield. They had shot and been shot at. They were familiar with the battlefield.
They tried their best to carry out Brother Wolf's instructions. They kept shooting, covering, and arresting people.
It was easy for the meteorite hunters to earn money. Some of them did not even fire a single shot. Even if the others did fire, they did so blindly. They did not even know where the bullets were going.
Later, Brother Wolf got scared and asked the hunters to stop. He was afraid that the bodyguards would be shot from behind and killed!
As the helicopter landed, Li Du patted Steve on the shoulder and said, "Didn't you set the price yourself? But it's still not bad. If it weren't for so many people and so many guns, those bastards might not have collapsed so quickly! "
Young Ford nodded as well. "That's right. It'll be troublesome if they really set up camp and engage us in a firefight. Once someone is killed, think about how much compensation money we'll have to pay."
They chatted and laughed as they got off the plane. The veterans ran over in a mess. Under the leadership of the old man with the plait who understood English, the group of people gave them a Soviet-style military salute. "Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
Li Du and the others smiled and replied, "How's the situation? Are there any casualties? "
The old man with the plait said, "No deaths. We have people who are injured. However, they are mainly sprains and abrasions. There are no unlucky fellows who were shot."
Brother Wolf said that it was the same for them. Five of them had sprained their joints and four of them were injured in the fight with the poachers. However, their lives were not in danger.
A total of twenty-nine poachers were kneeling on the ground. Their arms were tied behind their backs and their eyes were filled with fear. Li Du could not help but laugh when he saw them.
"What are you laughing at?" Steve asked.
Li Du did not answer. He went to look for the burly man who had spoken rudely when they were borrowing the car. He squatted in front of him and smiled. "Hey, buddy, we meet again. This time we have a helicopter. Do you guys want to borrow it?"
The burly man glared and shouted, "Ha, so it's you guys? Very well, you guys have betrayed your country and your people. How dare you collaborate with these old Russian dogs? Why, are they sharing their bones with you? Then why don't you bark? Woof woof woof woof! "
The old man with the plait could understand English. He grabbed the burly man and started slapping him. Slap, slap, slap, slap, slap!
The burly man's mouth swelled up at a speed that was visible to the naked eye. However, he was a tough guy and he continued to curse loudly. Blood and saliva spurted out of his mouth as he cursed.
The other forest rangers rushed forward and each of them grabbed a person and started beating them up.
Sophie brought along a first aid kit to treat the injuries of the bodyguards. When she saw the old forest rangers beating up the people, she said loudly, "Li, Steve, can you stop them?"
Steve laughed. "This is not the time to be soft-hearted."
Sophie said with dissatisfaction, "Then will you treat them later? Now that you guys are satisfied with beating up the people, aren't you just giving me more work? "
Steve said, "Then let's ignore them."
Sophie shrugged. "What if there's an accident? If someone dies, how are you going to deal with it? "
The old forest rangers had bad tempers and were like a bunch of old tyrannosaurs.
They were ruthless in beating up the people. Li Du could even hear the sound of someone's bones being broken. Very soon, screams could be heard one after another.
Li Du sucked in a breath of cold air and said, "Stop them, they will really kill these people."
The old man with the plait pushed away the burly man who had been beaten up into a pig's head. He panted and said, "Don't be afraid, this has nothing to do with you. We can kill people. This is what the Forestry Bureau and the police have discussed. If we encounter poachers with guns, we can kill them!"
"No matter what, we have to teach them a lesson," Big Ivan said as he sucked on a lollipop.
The poachers were not to be pitied. They had surrounded the forest rangers with guns and live ammunition. This was not a joke. During the crossfire, the forest rangers could really have been killed. The reason they were still alive was because they had been hiding and had been lucky.
Li Du shook his head and left. The old man with the plait brought them to the camp and smiled. "Thank you so much, comrades, you are my comrades! I'm sorry for doubting you in the past! "
"It's nothing. You guys are doing a righteous cause. When you meet with trouble, every righteous person should stand up for what's right," Steve said politely.
The old man with the plait shrugged and said, "Righteous? Bullsh * t! We were just protecting our home. But no matter what, you guys saved us. If not, who knows how many trees would have been cut down! "
The screams outside were getting louder and louder. Li Du asked, "You guys won't really kill them, right?"
The old man with the plait said, "No, but they can't avoid being maimed. We have to teach them a lesson. We also have to give an explanation to our dead and injured brothers!"
