Chapter 2107

"You... Didn't you say that the scar on your head was not scratched by a wild beast? Then where did the wild beast come from?" He Junchao was on the mountainside just now, but he heard it clearly.

Ge Bin's companions also confirmed that the wound on Ge Bin's head was caused by a fight.

But now, Ge Bin was also scared out of his wits by the presence of wild beasts, and suddenly felt that the situation was not good.

Ge Bin also said tremblingly: "I was joking with you, but there are indeed wild beasts in the mountains, and I told you too."

"Then look, what kind of animal caused this?" Gu Chen also looked around vigilantly, and couldn't help but ask Ge Bin beside him.

Ge Bin looked left and right, but he couldn't see any traces of wild animals on the ground. His heart skipped a beat, and he said:

"This... I don't know about this either."

"Aren't you the captain of the forest rangers? There's something you don't know?" Lu Weiwei had listened to all kinds of bragging about Ge Bin before, but at the critical moment, Ge Bin didn't know anything about it.

This made Lu Weiwei suddenly feel that Ge Bin, the captain of the ranger, was bought with money?

Ge Bin also looked embarrassed, pointing to the blood traces on the ground and said: "You have also seen this, the blood stains on the ground were obviously caused by fighting, and the spattering was extremely irregular."

"But you have also seen that there are no footprints of wild animals on the ground, but there are some traces of friction."

"However, there are very few human footprints, indicating that the fight happened a long time ago, and the blood will soon be covered by heavy snow, and the footprints are estimated to be destroyed by heavy snow."

Listening to Ge Bin's remarks, and looking at the scene, Gu Chen also confirmed this point.

That's right, judging from the traces of blood splatter, as Ge Bin said, there was a fight here.

There were also some traces of friction at the scene, but the hesitation and heavy snow fell, and the traces here were basically covered up.

There are basically no animal footprints, but there are some human footprints, which are along the direction of blood extension.

When everyone came to the scene, they were also stopped by Police Officer Wang, who reminded them: "Don't come here, so as not to damage the scene."

"What's going on here?" a middle-aged ranger asked.

"There are bloodstains," Yuan Shasha said.

"Could it be that wild beasts really came over and attacked the tents here? After all, in heavy snow days, human beings rarely move on the top of the mountain. At this time, some animals that used to hide deep in the mountains may take the opportunity to come out to look for food .”

Another middle-aged man said.

He Junchao asked sadly: "Is it really time for these animals to come?"

"Isn't it?" Ge Bin frowned slightly, and said involuntarily:

"On the top of this mountain, there are often food residues left by human activities."

"This is the favorite thing for animals in the mountains. It's okay for small animals, but I'm afraid it will attract some larger aggressive beasts."

"Like...a wild boar?" Gu Chen asked.

"There is such a possibility." Ge Bin also nodded slightly, and said again: "Anyway, when it snows heavily in the mountains, it is difficult for animals to find food."

"At this time, animals generally move towards places where humans gather."

"Before, some wild boars took advantage of the heavy snow and ran to the villages down the mountain to steal vegetables and other food grown by the villagers."

"Because of its large size and strong aggressiveness, it is still hungry, so the villagers at the foot of the nearby mountain usually choose to stay in the house and close their doors."

"Let these wild boars wreak havoc on the vegetable fields, and when they are full, they will naturally choose to leave."

"Is there no one in charge?" Lu Weiwei asked.

"There are." Ge Bin thought for a few seconds, and then said: "Later, more and more wild animals came down the mountain to harass the villagers, so the friction between humans and animals is also increasing."

"Many times, there have been incidents of wild boars hurting people. The villagers also spontaneously organized some hunting teams and raised many hunting dogs nearby."

"Once wild boars are found to harass the village, the hounds will react upon hearing the news and begin to surround and warn the wild boars."

"Hounds vs wild boars? Can hounds be bigger than wild boars? Can they beat wild boars?" What size wild boars are they? Lu Weiwei still knew.

But thinking of those thin dogs fighting against huge wild boars, Lu Weiwei felt that the chances of winning should not be great.

Ge Bin also sighed, and continued to explain: "In the beginning, the hounds may not have the advantage, but the advantage of the hounds is the large number."

"At that time, it was to prevent wild boars from going down the mountain to attack humans and destroy crops."

"So, the town calls on the villagers down the mountain to have at least one decent hound in every household."

"In this way, a village can gather at least six or seven hounds, and the nearby villages will immediately bring their own hounds for reinforcements once they receive a rescue request."

"In this way, everyone is united as one. After discovering that a village is harassed by wild boars, the villagers of other villages will bring their own hounds to reinforce them. Then, with the advantage of numbers and the cooperation of people, the wild boars will soon start to disappear. advantage."

"Later, the wild boars that harass the village will still appear, but the number is not so large. Sometimes there are one or two, sometimes two or three."

"The number of villagers and hounds in a village is enough to scare away these wild boars going down the mountain."

Taking a deep breath, Ge Bin tried to calm down, and then said:

"In this way, there are fewer and fewer wild boars going down the mountain to harass humans."

"Then what's the situation now?" Officer Wang also asked.

Ge Bin grinned: "Now? Now there are no villagers at the foot of the mountain, and they are all engaged in poverty alleviation and relocation in other places."

"Some nearby villagers are arranged to settle near the town, and some are arranged to settle in other towns. This is also called the relocation project for poverty alleviation in different places."

"It's mainly a way for the higher-ups to help the villagers in the mountains to get rid of poverty. The villagers live in decent new houses and have jobs. Naturally, everyone no longer needs to live in the mountains."

"In this way, the scope of the protected area of ​​the mountain forest has been greatly increased, and there are documents on it. The vicinity of the protected area cannot be reclaimed and planted casually."

"In this way, the beasts in the mountains have more range of activities, but they don't have the corresponding food supplies, so they won't come here again."

"Later, a simple mountain road to the top of Xiannv Peak was developed here, and many tourists went up the mountain."

"Tourists will leave some food scraps along the way, and these food scraps will be eaten by nearby small animals."

"That will also attract large beasts, right?" Lu Weiwei said.

"There is such a possibility." Ge Bin nodded silently.

Gu Chen listened to Ge Bin's explanation and looked around.

Looking at the raging fire next to the tent, Gu Chen couldn't help hesitating.

After thinking for a while, Gu Chen also expressed his opinion: "Although Captain Ge said that there will be wild beasts on the top of the mountain."

"Especially with the heavy snowfall like today, the beasts may come to the top of Fairy Peak to try their luck because they have no food supplies, to see if there are any food residues left by humans. This possibility may be possible."

"However, there is a bonfire burning here, and all kinds of animals are also afraid of the bonfire. If Huba and Zhao Lei stay here, as long as the bonfire does not go out, they are safe in principle."

"Yeah, wild animals are afraid of bonfires, even wild wolves are afraid too." Yuan Shasha also echoed.

This statement made Ge Bin a little embarrassed.

He looked around, looked at the burning bonfire, and subconsciously agreed:

"Officer Gu, although what you said is correct, there are always accidents."

"You also said that there are only two people camping here on the top of the mountain. Have you ever thought about it? If these people want to relieve themselves, will they leave the campfire?"

"But once you leave the protection of the bonfire, is it easy to be attacked by wild animals in the dark? Is there such a possibility?"

"It's true." Gu Chen is not an expert, and what Ge Bin said just now is indeed very reasonable.

Ge Bin also leaned over to Gu Chen's side, and said earnestly, "Officer Gu, I didn't say it. It's dark and it's snowing heavily. These two senior donkey friends are very likely to be attacked by wild beasts in the mountains."

"It's not that similar things have happened before, but now, there are no traces of people. It may be dangerous to search for it."

Glancing at the people not far away who were gathering together, Ge Bin said again:

"Even if I am willing to continue searching, these people may not be willing. After all, life is more important than anything else, and no one wants to take risks."

"You are forest rangers." He Junchao felt the need to remind Ge Bin.

But Ge Bin responded directly: "Yes, I am a forest ranger, but I am also a person of flesh and blood, and I am also afraid of death."

"This big black sky, we don't even know what each other is, and the two of them just disappeared, leaving a lot of blood."

"It must have met something ferocious, then fought with it, and finally...finally..."

Glancing at the long bloodstain that disappeared into the darkness, Ge Bin also waved his hands and said:

"Hey! Let's not talk about it, these two people are probably more or less fortunate, and the couple you are looking for, I guess it is more or less unfortunate."

After the words fell, Ge Bin sat directly on a rock, as if he had lost his previous confidence in continuing to search.

Gu Chen is very clear that all kinds of uncertain factors deep in the mountains at night are obstacles that hinder everyone from continuing to search for the missing person.

Gu Chen also regretted that he didn't dissuade Hu Ba and Zhao Lei from staying in the mountains overnight.

After all, it was the first time for Gu Chen to come to Fairy Peak, and he didn't know much about the situation of Fairy Peak.

If it is known that there are wild beasts in this mountain, coupled with this bad weather, things that may cause wild beasts to hurt people have not been carefully considered.

But now, Huba and Zhao Lei were nowhere to be seen, and a couple of men and women also disappeared into the forest.

If these four people were allowed to stay in the mountain, even if there were still survivors, it would probably be a disaster, and it would be difficult for them to be able to go down the mountain to ask for help.

But now Gu Chen is leading a team of people, plus those local residents who have not yet reached the top of the mountain, there are nearly twenty people.

If more than 20 people are armed, it is also a fighting force. At least the wild beasts dare not attack the more than 20 people with flashlights at will.

After thinking about it, Gu Chen hesitated again and again, before expressing his opinion: "Captain Ge, I know you are under a lot of pressure, but saving lives is a must."

"The more these people need our help at this time, we should now unite and organize everyone together. I think we should be able to find those who have lost contact."

"Officer Gu, do you really want to keep searching? I told you that there are really wild beasts in the mountains. I'm not joking."

Ge Bin was also worried by Gu Chen's firm attitude, after all, he didn't want to lose his life here.

It would be okay if nothing happened before, but now, the people on the top of the mountain are gone, and there is still a lot of blood.

Facing the darkness and unknown in the dense forest, Ge Bin is not absolutely sure.

But at this moment, Lu Weiwei also stood up and supported Gu Chen and said: "Captain Ge, don't hesitate, call everyone together, at least don't disperse, it's safer."

"That's right, the people from the bottom of the mountain should be called together, and everyone should act together, so that they are safe and secure. They can't be separated anymore. There must be no single personnel."

"Even if these people are still on their way to the summit, they will probably become unsafe, what do you think?" Yuan Shasha also gave her opinion.

Ge Bin hesitated again and again, feeling that what everyone said made sense.

Think about those companions who are not physically strong, and are still looking for missing persons on the mountainside at this moment.

If at this time, there is another wild beast attack, it is estimated that some people will encounter accidents.

Thinking of this, Ge Bin had no choice but to tell his companions, "Hurry up, call those people with a whistle, and let them go up the mountain as soon as possible."

"In addition, send some people to the vicinity, find some dry firewood, and continue the bonfire. We can't let this bonfire go out."

"If the bonfire goes out, I'm afraid that the beasts in the mountains will start attacking humans again."

"Understood." He was also reminded by Ge Bin that the middle-aged man nicknamed Monkey immediately ordered the people around him to find dry firewood around him.

And he also came to the edge of the mountain, facing the direction down the mountain, and began to blow his whistle desperately.

Gu Chen could hear that the middle-aged man nicknamed Monkey was blowing his whistle in a very regular rhythm, so he asked Ge Bin beside him, "Is there a meaning to this whistle?"

"Yes." Ge Bin also nodded silently, and quickly explained: "We also used some rhythms to convey information based on the characteristics of the whistle."

"Like what the monkey blew just now, it meant assembly, and it also meant to pay attention to the surrounding dangers."

"These of us are often active in the mountains, and we cooperate with each other tacitly. If the people below the mountain hear what we want from the mountain, they will reply immediately."

Just as Ge Bin finished speaking, there was indeed a faint whistle coming from the foot of the mountain.

The whistle also has its own rules, but the sound is too weak in the wind and snow.

Ge Bin pricked up his ears and listened for a while, before explaining to Gu Chen and the others: "It's all right, they have received our warning, they have already set off and are gathering towards the top of the mountain, we are waiting for them here Come here, and act collectively."
