Chapter 975 I have a younger brother?
Renault and his team's car was left in the desert. The four of them tried their best to turn the car over, but couldn't, so they finally gave up. They took out the luggage and got into Xiao Peng's car.
Xiao Peng wanted to help them turn the car over, but why did he do that?
"Hey, do you see it clearly? That's what you call a 'fierce and strong' wolf pack!" Xiao Peng stopped the car and pointed ahead.
Renault and others looked at the scene outside the car window in surprise.
There was indeed a group of wolf-like creatures tearing at their prey, but calling them wolves? That was an insult to the word "wolf". They were not very big, about the size of a standard poodle, and looked more like foxes.
No matter how you look at it, these little guys have nothing to do with words like 'fierce' and 'strong'.
"This..." Renault said, "Sir, are you mistaken? The wolf pack we saw yesterday didn't look like this."
Xiao Peng pointed at the wolves and said, "Look, are those Melanie's 'Little White', 'Little Black', and 'White and Black' being gnawed over there?"
After looking at the traces on the ground, everyone fell silent. They had encountered these creatures last night.
"What is this?" Amanda asked.
Xiao Peng gestured with his finger, "There are seven species of carnivores on the African continent, and you scared the weakest of them into staying awake all night! What can I say about you? Remember, this is called a jackal, a close relative of the North American coyote. It's because they're so weak that they choose to live together. You're afraid of them? They should be afraid of you!"
"There are only four species of canines in Africa, including foxes. The only wild wolf is the Ethiopian wolf, which lives in East Africa. There's no way it could have gotten here. So the only things you see here are hyenas and jackals. Since you're sure they're not hyenas, then this must be what you encountered."
Now Renault and the others were all speechless. It turned out that they were scared by the jackal and couldn't sleep all night. It was really funny to think about it.
Xiao Peng said, "As for me, although I want you to have a correct understanding of the desert, I won't joke with your lives. Yesterday, at most you encountered some snakes, golden scorpions, lizards, etc. Even if you were bitten, I can treat you. Although there used to be many hyenas in Mauritania, it is very difficult to encounter them here now. After all, the environment has deteriorated and there is too little food. So at most you will encounter a jackal."
Melanie blinked and asked Xiao Peng, "Then how did you find the jackal?"
Xiao Peng pointed to the sky, where a group of vultures were circling.
"If you see a flock of vultures in the sky, it means there's definitely a corpse. Jackals and vultures have a bad relationship and often fight over food. But even so, vultures still need the help of tigers and wolves. Vultures lack the strength to tear through animal hides. They need jackals to peel away the hard outer skin of the corpse so they can get to the meat and internal organs. Look, your 'Little White, Little Black, Little White and Black' has been torn almost to pieces. It's time for the vultures to come and grab the food!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw vultures circling in the sky and descending, fighting with the tigers and wolves for food.
"Look, it's started!"
Amanda said with admiration, "Sir, you are an expert on Africa! How long have you been here?"
Xiao Peng restarted the car. "This is my first time in Africa. But before coming here, I did a lot of preparation, including the biology, geography, humanities, and everything else. Although it's just theoretical knowledge, I'm capable of handling any unexpected situation. Unlike you guys who just drove here without hesitation. Okay, let's go to Nolida to get some supplies, and then I'll take you to Nouakchott. You can just explore the city. If you don't have the slightest respect for an unfamiliar environment, your life could be in danger at any moment!"
Norman and his companions all fell silent, and there was no more laughter in the carriage. Just like that, they arrived in Nolida.
Nolida is not far from the border between Mauritania and Mali. Due to its southern location, the temperatures here are already terrifying: currently at least 40 degrees Celsius. And because of its proximity to Mali, many members of the Nolida tribe are actually relatives of the Malian people.
There was war in Mali, and many people fled here. There were many Malians in Nolida, so there was a military camp here to maintain law and order.
As soon as Xiao Peng and his car arrived in Nolida, it attracted people's attention. Xiao Peng didn't care at first, thinking it was because they rarely saw outsiders here, but he soon realized that something was wrong!
When Xiao Peng got off the car to ask someone about the location of the military camp, he took off his sunglasses out of courtesy. The person who saw Xiao Peng looked around carefully and said a few words to the person next to him, who then quickly left.
When he came back, he brought a group of armed Mauritanian soldiers with him and insisted on checking them.
Fortunately, Melanie reacted quickly and handed the document Mohande had given Xiao Peng to the group of soldiers. When the soldiers saw it, their stern faces turned into smiles. A group of people led Xiao Peng and his friends to their camp as guests. When they saw Xiao Peng's peacekeeping force vehicle, they apologized profusely, saying it was a misunderstanding.
This change in attitude puzzled Xiao Peng. This must be a misunderstanding. Who did they mistake him for? Xiao Peng was also curious about this matter, so he asked what happened. As a result, when he figured out the whole story, he almost laughed out loud.
"Damn, there really is such a lunatic!" Xiao Peng was so happy!
Renault and the others didn't know what Xiao Peng was laughing at: "Sir, what happened that makes you so happy?"
Xiao Peng laughed and said, "They just told me that four people came here, two of them were Koreans. They were originally very welcoming to foreign guests, but it turned out that these people came here to preach! You said that everyone here is Muslim, but they insisted that we believe in God. Isn't this courting death? But the Koreans are really capable of doing such a thing. Did you know that a group of Koreans were taken hostage and some were beheaded in Afghanistan? Those Korean hostages were there to preach! Going to the extremist organization's headquarters to preach, I really don't know what they were thinking! Do you know who the preachers are? It's your classmates Zhu and Xiao and others!"
However, Renault became nervous after hearing Xiao Peng's words: "We must save them and not let anything happen to them!"
"Huh?" Xiao Peng was stunned: "Why?"
Renault's answer startled Xiao Peng: "You've been to France, so you must know the 'Salvage King', right? My classmate Xiao is the younger brother of the Salvage King Xiao Peng!"
"ah?"
Xiao Peng was dumbfounded. "I have a younger brother? How come I didn't know?"
