Chapter 911 Severe Injury
"Look, there are wheel marks!"
When Bifang saw the dent on the ground, he couldn't help but feel happy that he had found a clue.
After a careful survey of the surrounding environment, he finally successfully found traces of a car that had not been completely destroyed by the rain next to the bushes hundreds of meters away from the elephant carcass.
The mark was very blurry and on the verge of disappearing, but it was definitely a wheel mark.
"It should be left by the group of poachers who hunted the elephants."
Following the pointing of Bifang 's finger, the drone quickly focused and zoomed in on the image.
With the help of multiple positioning, the people in front of the screen quickly found the wheel prints mentioned by Bifang, and the barrage of comments was full of discussions for a while.
【Have you found any clues? 】
[Hiss, there are actually wheel marks]
[How can we be sure that this was left by poachers? What if it was a passing tourist bus? ]
[Plus one, the rangers of the reserve are not necessarily
Many viewers expressed doubts about the sudden appearance of wheel marks.
After all, there are not only poachers and forest rangers on the grassland , there are also many sightseeing vehicles, and the tire marks in front of us don’t look much different from those of ordinary vehicles.
[Let Jerry come out and smell it, and see if he can catch up with Sao (dog head)]
[Good fellow, using mine-clearing rats as hunting dogs, right?]
[It seems useless. Every profession has its own expertise. Besides, it would be exhausting to let mice chase you.]
[Hey guys, are you here to increase the difficulty? ]
[Are these guys really that professional? Why did they leave wheel marks? ]
Bifang shook his head and denied the views of some viewers in the barrage.
" The routes of are basically fixed. Tourists come to see the animals, so the routes they choose are naturally the best options given by the conservation center. Although it is possible to tip the driver to take them on small roads, they will not reach the edge of the reserve."
The division of protected areas is naturally centered on the animals' range of activities. The marginal areas are not a good place to go. Moreover, there are really many poachers on the edges, and safety is not guaranteed.
In order to avoid being exposed, it is not surprising to have a few more bullets.
On May 30, Kenyan security personnel encountered five poachers, two of whom were armed, at the border of the national park. The exchange of fire between the two sides, which resulted in three deaths and two escapes, is not news that will be forgotten so quickly.
As for why this group of people, given their high level of training and caution , still left wheel marks.
"The reason is simple, because hiding the wheel print is simply impossible in the wild."
"Compared to running away directly, it would be a huge waste of time to eliminate the wheel marks. With this time, we could have driven the car out of the reserve and exchanged the prey for money."
"Therefore, compared to eliminating wheel marks, a more commonly used and less costly counter-tracking method is direction misdirection, that is, creating the wrong direction."
"For example, you can go forward a certain distance and then go back to the starting point, and then continue in the opposite direction. Or you can use the letter N or the letter X multiple times. There are many ways to do this."
[There won’t be any problem learning this (dog head saves life)]
[Fang Shen, you are in trouble, please come with us]
[No, that's not right. If it's like this, even if you are really misled and return in time, the time cost is about the same as making the wrong direction, right? And on the contrary, if you choose the right direction, then won't the latecomer win? ]
Some people in the barrage raised objections, believing that this approach was unreasonable.
It's not that I doubt it. After all, Bifang's reputation is there, and everyone knows that laymen should not guide experts. But I'm still confused.
“This tests the level of the person who applies the method.”
Bifang smiled.
"There is no strongest spear, nor is there a so-called strongest shield. In a certain situation, at a certain point in time, there may be a difference between the superior and the inferior."
"For example, let's say there's a very skilled spy who many people have tried to catch for a long time but has not been caught. However, during an operation, he was neglected and discovered by a rookie counterintelligence agent. Do you think that based on just one fight, you can say that this rookie is more skilled than the spy?"
"There is no completely secure anti-tracking method, and there is no completely confidential tracking method."
"For those who apply the method, the knowledge they learn is the same. Acacia trees are all called acacia trees, and the bark can be antibacterial and anti-inflammatory. The key is to use it flexibly in specific occasions and conditions."
"If you use it better in this situation, then you can win this match."
Bifang followed the wheel tracks in the bushes to explore, and Harley, who had been driven away by the smell of the elephant corpse, followed automatically.
"The terrain of the wilderness is usually not uniform. One section of the road may be a muddy road where it rained yesterday and easily leaves traces. Another section is a hard gravel road where cars can hardly leave traces. And the next section is covered with shrubs, leaving a vegetation road full of broken twigs."
"This can easily lead to intermittent traces, making it difficult for trackers to determine whether the traces of a certain section of the road disappeared because of a turn or because of environmental problems. This is an extremely huge tracking cost, because apart from satellite photography, you have no means to distinguish."
"For example, in the common N-shaped formation, a skilled anti-chaser will make it impossible for you to find the starting point of the middle diagonal pole, while the chaser will often run out of the turning point and move in the wrong direction all the way."
【The higher the virtue, the higher the evil! 】
[See who can cheat who]
[Psychological game, right?]
"The difficulty in tracking and the misdirection are enough to add up."
Professional rangers are scarce.
This is not a good job. The environment is harsh, the pay is extremely low, and you may even die at any time. There is no internet here and you are almost isolated from the world.
Therefore, manpower and material resources are scarce to deal with poachers, and it is impossible to send a large-scale force to conduct a carpet search.
It can only be a one-on-one chase, or at most a two-on-one chase, which is an inefficient mode. There is no such thing as dividing the troops into multiple routes.
In a real pursuit battle, if you are misled two or three times, the opponent will be able to escape.
The wheel marks spread into the distance, and amid the audience's slightly nervous anticipation, Bifang drove the Harley towards the unknown enemy.
The elephant carcass has been dead for two to three days, most likely three days, but that doesn’t mean the successful trapping was that long ago.
It would be shorter, perhaps two days, judging by the extent to which the wheel marks had disappeared.
If the opponent caught the target and left without caring about anything, Bifang would never be able to catch up. However, his intuition as a hunter told him that the opponent was still on the grassland and not too far away.
Maybe there really is fate.
After persistent tracking, Bifang made a surprising discovery in a sparse woodland area the next afternoon after a simple meal.
It was a lion with half of its body shot through by an arrow, and it was dying.
