When they saw Jiang Cheng open the box, they were all dumbfounded. Jiang Cheng first took out a pitch-black metal lump. It was the Type 92 pistol that he often used. Jiang Cheng filled the pistol's clip and said to the old man, "Grandpa, do you know how to use this?"
The old man walked over and snatched the pistol from Jiang Cheng's hands. He looked at it carefully and praised, "Good gun!" After saying that, he nimbly loaded the gun and aimed it into the distance. He said, "It's much better than the box cannon I used to fight the White Devils!"
Jiang Cheng saw that the old man was satisfied with the pistol, so he took out a Belgian P90 automatic pistol. Rather than a pistol, it was more like a submachine gun. It could hold 50 bullets, and 50 bullets could be fired in two seconds. The effect was comparable to a submachine gun, and it was a weapon that Jiang Cheng loved to use when fighting against enemies. These two guns were made by himself, just in case. Anyway, he had a certificate to carry a gun, so he was not afraid of anyone who dared to provoke him.
Jiang Cheng filled the submachine gun with three clips and four clips for the pistol. He and the old man each had a Type 92 pistol. With the addition of the P90 in his hands, even if there were 80 people, Jiang Cheng was confident that he could take them all down in this mountain, not to mention the fact that there were only eight of them. Even if they were beaten to death, it would not be wrong to hunt them down.
The two of them quickly packed up their equipment. The old man asked the villagers to make 20 pieces of bread, 10 each for himself and Jiang Cheng. He also filled a bottle of water and brought it with him, afraid that they would have to fight a protracted battle with the hunters. Jiang Cheng did not dawdle. He took out a military backpack from the trunk. It was filled with all kinds of equipment and supplies. There were binoculars, night vision goggles, high-calorie biscuits, canned food, and even a tent. He was carrying more than 20 kilograms of weight.
The old man looked at Jiang Cheng's full equipment and asked, "Grandson, did you have to carry this much every day when you were in the special forces?"
Jiang Cheng replied straightforwardly, "Yes, grandpa. This was part of our daily training: jogging 20 kilometers with weights. We had to run every day!"
The old man nodded and said, "Then let's go into battle together today. Let's see if my old Red Army man's legs are nimble, or your special forces man's footwork is more skillful."
Jiang Cheng also wanted to have a match, so he agreed to the old man's suggestion. However, it was not until the next day that he realized how childish his mistake was. Competing in endurance with an old Red Army man who had been running in the mountains all year round was not something an ordinary person could do.
The two of them packed up and entered the mountains. Before Jiang Cheng left, he told Mu Mingcheng to give him a phone number and ask him to find a way to get out of the mountains to make contact. There was not even a phone signal in the mountains. If they wanted to make a call, they would have to walk for more than an hour. Mu Mingcheng agreed without hesitation.
This time, Jiang Cheng was at ease and entered the mountains with the old man. The two of them followed the footprints of the eight people in front of them into the depths of the mountains. After walking for half an hour, Jiang Cheng suddenly stopped and shouted behind him, "Stop hiding and come out!"
Old Master Qin had actually heard the sounds behind him a long time ago. He wanted to see how alert his grandson was. He didn't expect his grandson to be so extraordinary as to be able to hear the footsteps behind him from so far away.
The two of them looked back and saw a greenish-gray dog walking out from behind a tree thirty meters away. When Jiang Cheng and the old man saw it, they were dumbfounded. Wasn't that Mu Ping's Big Gray?
Sure enough, as soon as Big Gray came out, a thin and small figure followed behind. It was Mu Ping.
Jiang Cheng walked in front of Mu Ping and shouted, "Ping Zi, why are you following us? Go back quickly!"
Mu Ping replied righteously, "Big Brother, it was my sister who asked me to bring Big Gray to protect you. You are not familiar with the terrain in the mountains, and great-grandfather is also old. My sister was worried that you would be in danger, so she asked me to bring Big Gray to protect you."
Jiang Cheng was so angry that he laughed. He was already an adult, and there was an old Red Army soldier beside him who was also fully armed. Did he still need anyone to protect him? He waved his hand and said, "You little brat, don't worry about those useless things. Hurry up and bring Big Gray back."
However, he did not expect Mu Ping to be so stubborn. No matter what Jiang Cheng said, he would not go back. The Big Gray Wolf was the same. It squatted beside Mu Ping, and if Mu Ping did not move, it would not move either. The master and the servant were at loggerheads with Jiang Cheng.
It was the old man who tried to smooth things over. He said, "Grandson, I know Ping Zi. He often goes into the mountains with me and is familiar with this area. I think we should bring him along. With him and Big Gray, we can save a lot of trouble."
Jiang Cheng thought about it and agreed. However, he could not let this kid follow them so easily. He took out a small military bag from his backpack and threw it at Mu Ping's feet. He said, "Carry this!"
Who would have thought that Mu Ping would pick up the bag and throw it onto his back without saying a word. He actually carried it on his back. Jiang Cheng was dumbfounded. That was a complete set of mechanical gadgets, which weighed at least 20 to 30 kilograms. He didn't expect that this kid would be able to easily throw it onto his back. Could it be that people with the surname Mu were all Hercules?
He did not know that Mu Ping had been used to being wild since he was a child. He could throw a big elk that weighed dozens of kilograms on his shoulder and carry seventy to eighty kilograms of grain. Now that he was a fourteen-year-old boy, he already had some strength. Although the things in Jiang Cheng's bag were heavy, they weighed only 20 to 30 kilograms. For him, it was a small kiss.
Jiang Cheng and the others went on their way again, but this time there were new members in his team. They were a fourteen-year-old boy and an adult Big Gray Wolf. Their overall combat effectiveness had greatly increased. With this wolf, at least they could walk sideways in the mountains.
Three people and a wolf followed the tracks of the hunters in front of them. At this time, Mu Mingcheng also walked out of the mountains on foot. He followed Jiang Cheng's instructions and called Mino, who was far away in Jiangnan City. He told her the details of the matter and Jiang Cheng's instructions to Mino.
After Mino hung up the phone, she began to work for Jiang Cheng. First, she called the secretary over and asked them to inform the major media outlets that an adult South China tiger that was on the verge of extinction had been discovered in a primeval forest in Shizhou. Furthermore, the tiger was currently being hunted. She hoped to rely on the help of the reporters to spread the news.
After the media was done, Mino called the Bureau of Agriculture and Forestry of Shizhou City. She told them that someone was hunting an adult South China tiger in a primeval forest in Shizhou City. There were eight of them, each with a gun. The staff of the Bureau of Agriculture and Forestry was very concerned and immediately asked for detailed information. Mino told them that her friend had seen the South China tiger, and now her friend and the villagers in the mountains had followed the eight people into the mountains, ready to rescue the South China tiger.
When the staff of the Bureau of Agriculture and Forestry heard that the situation was so serious, they immediately reported the matter to the leader of the bureau. The leader was also very shocked. They had long heard that there was an adult South China tiger in the primeval forest in Shizhou City, but no one had seen it or taken a photo. Therefore, the staff of the Bureau of Agriculture and Forestry were very concerned and immediately asked for detailed information. Mino told them that her friend had seen the South China tiger, and now her friend and the villagers in the mountains had followed the eight people into the mountains, ready to rescue the South China tiger.
The South China tiger was a national first-class protected animal, belonging to a species that was on the verge of extinction. The leader of the bureau did not dare to ignore it. He immediately contacted the Shizhou City Public Security Bureau and explained the situation to them. He also asked for police officers to follow the staff of the Bureau of Agriculture and Forestry into the mountains to arrest the hunters and protect the national first-class protected animal.
The staff of the Public Security Bureau was also shocked when they received the phone call. They immediately reported the matter to the director of the Public Security Bureau, Yun Shi. Director Yun scoffed at this, saying that there was no such thing as a South China tiger, and that the eight armed hunters were completely fabricated and could not be taken seriously. This was completely a prank, and he asked the Bureau of Agriculture and Forestry's Chief Zhou not to worry too much about it.
Bureau Chief Zhou panicked when he heard this. He was a top student who graduated from Beijing Forestry University. His name was Zhou Deguang. After graduation, he was assigned to the Bureau of Agriculture and Forestry, which was a leisurely yamen. He worked for 15 years before he reached the position of the bureau chief. However, for a yamen like the Bureau of Agriculture and Forestry, it was difficult to achieve political achievements. The agriculture in Shizhou was not developed, and the development of the forestry was not ideal. Therefore, his position as the bureau chief was actually just for show. There were only eight people in the entire Bureau of Agriculture and Forestry, including him, the bureau chief. Three of them did not come to work for years, but they still received their salaries. Bureau Chief Zhou knew that the three of them were relatives of the county head, so he could only turn a blind eye.
After 15 years of public service, the once ambitious young university student had turned into a cowardly politician. He did not belong to any faction, and he did not like to flatter his superiors. Therefore, he could only stay in the Bureau of Agriculture and Forestry, which was a low-paid yamen. Now, he might not even be able to stay in this low-paid yamen any longer. This was because someone above said that Bureau Chief Zhou was not qualified to be the bureau chief, and did not promote the development of the local agriculture. They were preparing to remove him and replace him with the deputy bureau chief, Jia Side.
Jia Side was the son-in-law of the county's Party Secretary. He had been in the Bureau of Agriculture and Forestry for three years, and he graduated from the Provincial College of Agriculture. However, Bureau Chief Zhou felt that the diploma was fake. This was because Jia Side could not even tell the difference between early and late rice. How could such a person be a top student who graduated from the College of Agriculture?
Just as Bureau Chief Zhou was pondering what to do, one of his staff members suddenly reported, "Bureau Chief, quickly go online and look at the news. The news of a South China tiger in Shizhou has already made the headlines!"
