Chapter 974 There is a Wolf
When they finished the call, Xiao Peng was sitting in the car playing video games. When they returned the phone and sunglasses to Xiao Peng, he said apologetically, "Sir, I'm sorry, my phone battery is dead."
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Satellite phones consume a lot of power. Just charge it."
He took the phone and put it in the car to charge, then took the sunglasses and put them aside.
Perrin said excitedly, "Sir, are these all military supplies?"
"Huh?" Xiao Peng was stunned. "No, they're all civilian products. You can buy them with just money. Satellite phones aren't expensive, but the calls are. A little over four euros a minute."
"How much?" Several people exclaimed in surprise. They had just been on the phone for over an hour. This meant Xiao Peng had spent 300 euros on the phone bill?
Xiao Peng smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay. When I bought the phone, I was afraid of overdrawing the phone bill and delaying use, so there was quite a lot of phone bill. I didn't care about the phone bill when I gave it to you. You are calling home, and I support you doing this - valuing family is a virtue."
After hearing what he said, several people felt better and could only thank Xiao Peng.
Renault asked curiously, "Sir, what's up with your sunglasses? Are they also civilian items?"
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "It's a Chinese product, Huawei smart glasses. You can think of it as glasses + Bluetooth headset + voice assistant. Tap the left arm twice to answer a call, tap the right arm twice to play music. Press the left arm once to activate the voice assistant. You can also add lenses for myopia. Anyway, it's a very convenient tool."
"It's really convenient!" Renault exclaimed, "China's technology is really amazing!"
Xiao Peng stretched himself and said, "Alright, I don't care about you guys anymore. I'm really tired after driving all day. I want to sleep!"
After he finished speaking, he reclined the seat, yawned, and closed his eyes.
Why was he so anxious to sleep? Did he really think living in a tent in the desert was comfortable? And stargazing? You'll regret it!
Not to mention the temperature difference, what should we do if a sandstorm occurs in the middle of the night?
Even if you're lucky enough to avoid a sandstorm, do you really think there's nothing living in the desert? Snakes, spiders, scorpions, lizards, ants, and bugs are everywhere! Beware of insect repellent if you don't sprinkle some around your tent!
Why did he say, "Don't disturb me when I'm resting?" He wanted to teach you a lesson. Didn't he want a memory? This is definitely a good memory.
The next morning, when Xiao Peng woke up, he found the tent incredibly quiet. The small door to the tent was tightly closed. Well, it seems I was overthinking it. These guys are so careless, nothing's wrong at all.
Xiao Peng felt bored. His prank had not succeeded?
He opened the door and got out of the car, but as soon as he opened the door, the tent door also opened, and four people with dark eyes were looking at it pitifully.
"Oh, you guys woke up well!" Xiao Peng greeted them, then went to the back of the car with a toothbrush holder, towel and other things, opened the back door, filled a basin of water from the water tank and started brushing his teeth and washing up.
"Commander!" Amanda rushed out of the tent and jumped to Xiao Peng, grabbing his arm. Xiao Peng was brushing his teeth and almost stuck the toothbrush into his throat!
"Cough, cough, cough!" Xiao Peng began to dry heave. "What are you doing? Do I have a grudge against you? Are you going to kill me?" Xiao Peng rinsed his mouth with a sip of water. "Did you sleep well last night?"
Melanie also ran over and heard Xiao Peng's words. She almost cried out: "Sir, why are you sleeping? We didn't sleep last night!"
"Huh?" Xiao Peng suppressed a smile. It seemed his prank had succeeded. "You two are so romantic. You spent the whole night looking at the stars."
"What are you looking at?" Melanie said with a horrified expression, "Commander, a wolf came last night! Little Black, Little White, and White and Black were all taken away by the wolf!"
"Xiao Hei? Xiao Bai? White and black?" Xiao Peng was confused.
Melanie nodded vigorously. "Yes, those are my three lambs! Several wolves came last night and took all my lambs away!"
"Wolf?" Xiao Peng was stunned. "You said wolf? You must be mistaken. Is it a hyena?"
"Really!" Melanie said, "We were so scared that we didn't dare leave the tent. But they probably had enough to eat, so they didn't attack our tent. They took away my poor lamb!"
Renault said, "Sir, we recognize hyenas! They were really wolves! We saw them with our own eyes! They were so fierce and strong! We were all afraid they would eat us! We wanted to call you, but you said we couldn't disturb you when you were sleeping, so we could only stay in the tent. We had already planned that if the wolves really attacked us, we would shout for help to wake you up. Fortunately, they didn't attack our tent."
After hearing this, Xiao Peng didn't say anything and just looked up at the sky.
Renault asked in confusion: "Sir, what are you looking at?"
Xiao Peng shook his head and said, "Have breakfast first, then I'll take you to see those fierce and strong wolves you mentioned!"
"Do you know where the wolves are?" Renault asked in surprise.
Xiao Peng nodded: "We know the general location and can find it."
"What are you looking for them for?" Amanda asked with wide eyes, "Isn't that too dangerous?"
Xiao Peng leaned over and pulled out a Type 95 automatic rifle from beside the water tank. "Do you still think it's dangerous?"
Renault and the others were all upset. "Yeah, they even have a rocket launcher in their car, how could they not have a gun? With this stuff, why would they be afraid of a pack of wolves?"
"Sir, can we wash our faces with water?" Perrin asked Xiao Peng.
Xiao Peng shook his head: "No! You can use the phone, but not the water. This is a desert. If you don't respect this place enough, you're courting death by running here!"
Melanie was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Now I understand why the commander let us sleep in the car yesterday. He was taking care of us, but we didn't appreciate it and insisted on going to the tent. The commander already knew what would happen last night, but he didn't say anything. He was just trying to teach us a lesson!"
Xiao Peng snapped his fingers. "Melanie, you're a smart girl. What you said is basically correct. So, after we finish resupplying today, I'll send you to Nouakchott. Whether you plan to continue traveling in Mauritania or return, I won't be traveling with you. You're all adults, and I'm not your babysitter. I have no obligation to take care of you, right? You run off to the desert and still want your lamb as a pet? If I had known this would happen, I would have let me live off you. You'd even be doing me a favor!"
