Chapter 229 - [Food Becomes Vomit] Punishment (2)

Mark tossed the wood at the poachers causing their clothes to be on fire.

By the time they got rid of the fire, Mark and the little elephant were gone. The poachers cursed for a bit then packed everything up, getting ready to enter the forest to go after Mark and the little elephant again.

The poachers left for a while and then the group finally dared to reveal themselves.

Lin Yueqi sighed heavily and said, “We can’t let them catch Mark. He got shot so he probably wouldn’t be able to run far. His location changed. We need to help the safety organization confirm Mark’s location. Only then can we promise his safety. The little elephant has watched his parents being ruthlessly killed already. If he has to watch his adoptive father get murdered too, who knows how painful it’d be for him?…We have to help him.”

Leita hesitated before saying, “No, I need to make sure you’re safe and don’t encounter any danger. My goal is to protect you guys. Plus, your goal is to track the elephant’s location not to die.”

Zhou Qing was silent for a moment before saying, “I want to rescue them.”

Huang Hui also lifted his hand weakly. “I…I also want to.”

“Me too.”

Lin Yueqi thought of the poacher’s weapons and felt a bit apprehensive. She did want to survive, survive healthily. However, she didn’t have the heart to watch as Mark and the little elephant with such human nature were ruthlessly murdered.

Innature, although the strongest animal was crowned king, the weakest were eliminated. But towards these protected animals, they shouldn’t be cruelly and illegally hunted.

She wore a determined and stubborn gaze. “Those people are hunting Mark because they want money, no? I’ll give them money. I’ll give them however much money they want. Even if I become bankrupt, it’s fine. I have millions in savings as well as a few houses. I can get some money from selling the houses. Kidnappers are willing to let go of their hostages once they receive the money so I believe they’ll let the elephants go once they get their money. We’re not in a desperate situation yet. We’re really not going to try and escape them?”

Everyone sunk into silence.

Lin Yueqi swallowed her saliva and turned to look at Lu Ting. “Father Lu, if something happens to me, I hand the little chubby bun to you. Don’t pamper her too much or feed her too much meat. She’s too fat and is overly nourished. She even started puberty earlier than other children. That’s not good. You have to be harsh.”

Lu Ting was speechless.

Zhou Qing touched his nose and exclaimed in a soft voice, “…She’s already saying her will? Sister Qi, we’re not going to die. We’re going to save the elephants.”

Leita hesitated for a good while before nodding. “Okay, then we’ll do our best. But remember not to face them head on. We have to learn to evaluate the situation. Cameraman, you don’t need to go. If something really happens, it’d be hard for you to escape carrying such heavy equipment.”

They made up their minds and then returned to their messy campground, picking up all the tools they could possibly use.

Lin Yueqi had sprained her feet. After resting for a while, her feet didn’t hurt as much so she could start walking. In order to prevent people from seeing her bruise, she even pulled her pants down a bit and tucked the pant legs into her socks.

After that, she pulled the arrow Lu Ting had shot earlier out of the ground. Then she continued to go to the tents that had been trampled over by the elephants and rummaged, finding some packages.

These packages contained some food which could save their lives during crucial moments. They mustn’t lose the packages.

They couldn’t use the tents anymore. Everyone grabbed the sleeping bags and placed them away.

When they were done cleaning up and were about to go, someone asked, “Where’s Murou?”

Everyone looked at each other as if they had forgotten about her existence. They were getting ready to go when they remembered her.

“I think what happened earlier must’ve been too chaotic so she went to hide in the forest. She should be back soon. The cameraman can stay at the campground. Don’t leave. Let’s go. She should be coming back.” Zhou Qing paused before ordering the cameramans, “If she still isn’t back by 3pm, contact the headquarters and arrange a few helicopters to save her.”

After arranging the campground, Zhou Qing, Huang Hai, Leita, as well as Lin Yueqi and Lu Ting entered the forest again to search for Mark.

Mark got shot by sedative and although the quantity wasn’t enough to knock him out immediately, as time passed back, running caused his blood circulation to increase. This resulted in the sedative quickly expanding inside him.

Finally, Mark couldn’t hold on anymore. He stumbled and then thumped and finally fell on the ground.
