Chapter 278 I'm Going to Be Impolite To You After Xia Zhining and her siblings successfully reunited with the Loulan City police.

Ji Shuyun clearly explained the case to the police officer in charge: "We determined that the murderer, Jian Yan, and the three victims jointly discovered a gold mine and had been illegally mining it for at least half a month."

"Due to a dispute over the division of the spoils, Jian Yan attempted to keep them all for himself, and thus murdered his three accomplices."

"A gold mine?!"

A young police officer gasped, “No wonder someone died… When faced with such huge profits, humanity really can’t withstand the test.”

"We must act quickly and not let him escape with the stolen goods!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Zhining confidently patted the sturdy neck of the camel beside her: "Don't worry, even if he escapes into the depths of the desert, with so many of us 'scouts,' he won't be able to hide!"

According to information provided by the camels, the location where Jianyan was illegally mined was extremely remote, requiring a journey by vehicle to the edge of the desert before transferring to camels to venture deeper.

Mobilizing a large number of police officers and camel caravans would actually slow down the journey.

After an emergency meeting, the Loulan City police decided to form a capable advance team: led by Xia Zhining and Ji Shuyun, with two local police officers familiar with the terrain assisting them.

With the help of four camels that know the way, they traveled light and at full speed towards the target area.

The group of four drove a special camel cart borrowed from local residents, carrying four camels, for three hours before finally stopping at the end of the road.

After switching to camels, these docile giants immediately began to move steadily into the depths of the desert, their direction as clear as if there were an invisible track beneath their feet.

A young police officer looked back at the highway that had long since disappeared from sight and couldn't help but exclaim, "My God! We've driven over a hundred kilometers! And they didn't hesitate for a second!"

Xia Zhining smiled and patted the camel's sturdy neck: "Camels can remember the location of water sources dozens or even hundreds of kilometers away. Even if several months have passed, they can find their way back without any mistakes."

"This is even more reliable than navigation!" the officer exclaimed, looking at the monotonous sand dunes all around.

"Everywhere in this desert looks the same, how do they remember the way?"

Xia Zhining helped the camel beneath her clean the sand around its eyelashes: "The camel's super memory is entirely a result of training in harsh environments."

“In the desert, water and food are extremely scarce and scattered far apart. Once you get lost, you will face the deadly threats of dehydration, hunger, and extreme temperatures.”

"Only by firmly remembering the routes to water sources, grasslands, and safe habitats can they survive in this sea of ​​death."

"They're a group of very intelligent and tenacious big guys!"

Xia Zhining was riding a tall Bactrian camel named "War God".

Upon hearing the praise, the God of War's long eyelashes trembled gently like two small fans, and she blinked shyly.

Although this introverted camel is usually quiet, its fellow camel herd members all say that it has the best memory, as if it has a living map in its brain.

The camels carried the four people to a secluded sandy valley.

Ji Shuyun and the police officers went forward to investigate and found fresh chisel marks and scattered ore fragments on the rock wall.

Just then, the Bactrian camel "War God" beneath Xia Zhining suddenly raised its head and its nostrils flared rapidly.

[I smell my companions!] It stamped its hooves excitedly. [They're the three camels that were sold! They're nearby!]

"Great! Take us there quickly!" As soon as Xia Zhining finished speaking, "God of War" rushed out like an arrow.

The sudden acceleration caused Xia Zhining to lean back abruptly. She quickly bent down and hugged the camel's hump tightly, with only the whistling wind in her ears.

Oh My God!

Xia Zhining exclaimed inwardly, "I almost forgot! Camel usually looks kind and gentle, but he is actually a sprint champion whose talent is overshadowed by his 'marathon runner' aura!"

These massive creatures can travel at speeds of 10 to 15 kilometers per hour for an entire day in the desert without eating or drinking.
