Seeing that it was not a search and rescue helicopter, Zhang Zian had mixed feelings. It seemed that he was overthinking. Snowy hadn't called the police yet.
It was neither a police helicopter nor a military helicopter. Judging from its blue and white paint, it was just an ordinary civilian helicopter.
Why would a civilian helicopter fly into the depths of the forest?
There were few large enough open spaces for it to land safely. For example, the open space just now, although it was called an open space, it was only relative to the tall and dense forest. In fact, there were many short trees and thorns.
If it was an ordinary forest, the people in the helicopter might be able to drop a rope to the ground, then the helicopter would hover, and the people in the helicopter would slide down the rope like special forces. However, this method would not work in the mahogany forest, because mahogany trees were too tall, often tens of meters or even hundreds of meters. They couldn't see the ground from the air, and the situation on the ground was completely unknown. Even if the special forces came, they wouldn't dare to risk sliding down, and the rope might not be long enough.
Therefore, if this helicopter was not here to perform a search and rescue mission, there must be an open space ahead for it to land safely — it was probably a man-made landing site.
Zhang Zian immediately thought of Peter Lee's lair, and the hair on his body stood up. If this helicopter was related to Peter Lee, then lighting the road torch to send a signal was tantamount to walking into a trap!
The helicopter flew over his head, and he saw the logo painted on the tail of the helicopter. He couldn't help but be stunned. The English name of Stars Group was written on it.
What happened? How did Stars Group's helicopter appear here?
Looking at the shadow of the helicopter gradually disappearing, he was confused.
What had happened in the outside world during the few days he had been isolated from the world?
Could it be that the matter of the Leshi dog food could no longer be hidden?
He had long known that Leshi Dog Food was quickly capturing the market with its low price and relatively good quality. The high rebates that sales representatives gave to pet store managers in private were even more powerful. Not many people could resist this temptation. Many of Stars Group's franchise stores and direct-sale stores put Leshi Dog Food in the most prominent position for sale.
If there was no problem with this dog food, it would be fine. After all, things in the world were like this. There were always gray areas, but in fact, it was difficult to reconcile low price and high quality. The raw materials used in Leshi dog food were deer in captivity that North American deer farms were eager to get rid of. Many of the live deer may have been infected by prions.
The extremely tenacious prion protein can still maintain its activity after being processed into dog food. Dogs that eat a lot of Leshi dog food are likely to be infected, and some people who especially like to eat dog meat may also be infected after eating dog meat.
Not only dogs, but if someone ate a cat with feline spongiform encephalopathy or a deer with chronic wasting disease, they could also be infected.
The garbage station employees taken in by the Binhai CDC may be the first group of people to be infected.
This was an incurable disease and human life was at stake. Once the matter was confirmed and exposed, the spear would be directed at the domestic distributors and sellers of this dog food.
Although it was the store managers of the Stars Pet Chain Stores who decided to sell this dog food on their own, once the matter was fermented on the Internet, no one would care whether the chain stores were authorized by the head office or not, which would be a fatal blow to the company's image.
Probably, the senior management of Stars Pet Chain Stores finally noticed that things were not right, so they came to the United States to investigate and solve this matter.
Thinking of this, Zhang Zian felt relieved. With a giant like Stars Pet Chain Stores intervening, it seemed that he didn't need to meddle in other people's business.
However, when he thought about it, he vaguely felt that something was wrong. In the face of such a huge scandal, there were only two ways to solve it. One was to hold a press conference, sincerely apologize to the public, admit the mistake, and promise huge compensation to the victims. As a result, the company's image and performance would plummet, and it would become the target of public criticism. The other way was to weigh the pros and cons and decide to hide the mistake at all costs until the day when it could no longer be covered up.
Throughout the ages, the vast majority of companies had chosen the latter. After all, every man for himself, and no company would take the initiative to expose their mistakes.
If Stars Pet Chain Stores also chose the latter … they probably didn't come to Rosewood to solve the incident, but to reduce the chances of the incident being exposed.
After thinking about it, he felt that he couldn't put all his hopes on Stars Pet Chain Stores. For the time being, he didn't need to change his plan. He would do what he had to do. After leaving the forest, he would mail the video to environmental organizations and the Deer Hunter Association, and then upload a copy to the video website. As for Peter Lee and the others, the FBI would deal with them.
The layers of canopy quickly covered the helicopter's figure, and only the rumbling noise could be heard as it quickly moved forward.
The gray wolves and the deer herd had never seen an aerial monster that could make such a loud roar. Only now did they slowly calm down.
The elfins had just said a few words, but they were all covered by the sound of the propeller. After a little silence, Old Time Tea asked again, "Zian, is that a helicopter? Why did it come? "
He told his speculation to the elfins.
Old Time Tea nodded. "That makes sense. We really have to be careful. If Stars Pet Chain Stores decided to collude with Peter Lee and hide this matter, it would be like asking a tiger for its skin."
Fortunately, it was the age of the Internet. If it was 20 years ago, it would be impossible for an ordinary person like him to fight against a big company. But the Internet provided infinite possibilities. Nowadays, once something was uploaded to the Internet, it was basically impossible to remove. The government was paying more and more attention to the influence of the Internet. Weibo and Twitter ruling the country was not a joke.
As long as he safely walked out of the forest, found a place with Internet access, and uploaded the video of the slaughterhouse recorded by the drone, his task would be mostly completed.
All that was left was the problem of Megan, Peter Lee, and the new elfin.
He looked down at the screen of his phone. The young male wolf was leading them in the direction of the flashing light. The angle was very close.
Not only that, but it was also the direction the helicopter was flying in. It might also be the location of Peter Lee's nest.
He had a hunch that it might also be the end of the journey.
The light was getting weaker. Obviously, the existence of the new elfin would not last long.
Was its power weakening, or had it encountered an accident like Pi and was struggling to hold on?
The sound of the propeller had completely disappeared. There was no point in guessing. Zhang Zian put away his phone and called the elfins, especially Snowy Lionet, to speed up and follow the young male wolf into the forest.
