Within the dining hall.

Zhaxi asked, “Captain, in the afternoon, some Tibetan residents found an injured Thorold’s deer in the Southwestern region, and has sent it to the vet for treatment, but the situation does not seem right, tomorrow should we——”

With that, the originally lively atmosphere around the dining table instantly quietened down.

All of them were waiting for the captain’s reply.

Lu Xiao turned his gaze towards them, his expression solemn, “Since you asked first, then stop everything you are doing now, because I was just about to address this issue.”

With that, he paused,

“The Thorold deer’s injury is not that simple. According to initial judgements, there are several people that are working together, trying to capture the rare animals under the protection of the nation.

They have chopped off the antlers of the Thorold deer, and now some have noticed them selling common kestrels as well as golden eagles online. Early tomorrow morning, we shall start acting according to plan!”

With that, Lu Xiao started assigning roles to each of them.

“Sang Nian, tomorrow you and Ga Zhuo will go online and pretend to be interested buyers for the deal. Someone will be the middleman and negotiate a good selling price. Once you have arranged the time for the transaction to proceed, I will start capturing them once they appear to meet with you guys.”

Sang Nian was not from Tibet, but was a Chinese man, so these poachers would usually sell to foreigners more easily.

Since Sang Nian was more unfamiliar-looking to those people, the chances of a successful transaction would be much higher.

Meanwhile, Ga Zhuo was an experienced local in his 30s, with in-depth knowledge about the precious protected animals in the local region. So, he could provide assistance undercover by giving advice.

“Roger that! Captain!”

After being notified about his mission, Sang Nian immediately gave a decisive response.

Damn, the people he hated the most in his life were those illegal poachers!

Committing all imaginable misdeeds, just for money.

Just taking the Thorold deers for instance, they are first class national protected animals.

They were a rare, unique species spread out across the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau.

However, precisely because of how precious they were, the moment those poachers captured them, they would cut off their antlers alive, using them to be sold for money!

The weather in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau was nothing short of four seasons in a single day.

When met with a snowstorm, those Thorold deers with blood drizzling from their head would freeze in the deserted region——!

Much less those precious birds that were supposed to be taking flight in the vast sky!

Those poachers were blinded by their delicious flavor, hunting them down, illegally keeping them in cages, preventing them from sailing in the sky freely.

What was the difference between that and a human who could no longer walk without legs!

Those people were all blinded by their own selfishness!

Whether they were humans or animals, their lives were all extremely valuable.

Even till now, under strict control, large-scale poaching groups have somewhat vanished, but were not non-existent.

There were a total of four uninhabited regions in the Western area, so poachers could appear anywhere, anytime.

This was a long, persistent battle.

…

After their meals, everyone dispersed.

The wind got stronger into the night, and it was very cold outside.

When Wenxian came out, she felt a coldness travel from the sole of her feet to her upper spine all of a sudden, as a gush of cold wind poured into her loose clothes.

Freezing, she held his clothes close to her.

As she touched his clothes, she suddenly felt a box of cigarettes in his pocket, and a geared light——!

Wenxian sank into deep thought, holding the geared lighter, “…”

Hmm?

He had a lighter…?

Suddenly.

Someone opened the door covered by a piece of cotton cloth nailed in the wall——

A figure appeared.
