I became incredibly cute after dressing up as an animal!

Zhang Wang had spent the day with his friends and was about to drive them back to their luxury wilderness hotel when he received a call from Bard.

"We saw a suspicious vehicle on the satellite heading into Black Rhino territory," Bud said urgently.

Zhang Wang said, "I just went there."

Bud said, "How could I not recognize your car? It's a strange vehicle. Only we and a few local guides know the location of the Black Rhino's territory. I remember their cars. I saw this car in the satellite imagery, and I've never seen it before."

A stranger drove into the black rhinoceros' territory.

Without saying a word, Zhang Wang turned around and said, "I'm nearby now, I'll turn back and check."

Bud immediately warned, "Don't drive too close. If they're poachers, those people are crazy. I don't want any more team members to be killed."

Bud should keep an eye on the group from a distance to see if they are poachers, and if so, take clear photos of their faces.

Zhang Wang glanced at his friend and said into the phone, "Captain Bud, I have a friend here. It's too dangerous to take him over, so I've left him at Camp One. Remember to send someone to pick him up."

After the call ended, my friend was able to guess what had happened from the few words he had spoken.

"You're going to leave me behind? Go alone? No, I'll go with you."

"It's too dangerous to come with me, there's no need. I'll take you to Camp One, where we usually rest. There's food and water, as well as guns. There aren't any large predators around there either. My team can get here to pick you up in as little as two hours. Don't be afraid."

On the African savanna, it is very dangerous to get out of the vehicle without a gun.

Luckily there was a campsite nearby, otherwise Zhang Wang wouldn't know how to settle his friends.

My friend really wanted to go with me, but seeing Zhang Wang's resolute attitude, she finally obeyed and got off the bus.

As he left, he said, "Zhang Wang, don't be so impulsive. Your own life is the most important thing."

Zhang Wang thought for half a second and said, "If they kill a black rhinoceros in front of me, I can't just sit there and do nothing."

Since he chose to dedicate himself to wildlife conservation, this is Zhang Wang's answer.

Not only Zhang Wang, but many people have died on the road to protecting animals.

Zhang Wang is a rich kid with older brothers and sisters. He is the youngest and is spoiled rotten by his elders. He has been a troublemaker since he was a child, and fighting and skipping school are his daily routine.

Zhang Wang went abroad to study and made some hooligans. One of his friends took him to see a gladiatorial contest.

"These are all wild animals captured from the African savanna. This is just one of the three famous lion brothers. I heard the organizers went to great lengths to capture this cheetah..."

Zhang Wang watched as wild animals were captured, transported across the ocean to this arena, where wealthy people watched them fight, with money numbers constantly changing. Below the stage, there was a gambling frenzy, and inside the cages, blood and flesh flew everywhere.

Zhang Wang went back and vomited for a few days, then suddenly became obsessed with watching animal documentaries, animal science programs, rescue videos, and so on.

He hadn't left the house for a month. The first time he went out was when he heard that a whale had been stranded on the coastline. He grabbed a bucket and a towel and ran out like a madman.

Local concerned citizens and animal protection organizations are doing their utmost to rescue the whale along the coastline.

Zhang Wang also joined in, putting in extra effort.

It was around that time that he met Bader. After graduating from university, Zhang Wang followed Bader to Africa.

Zhang Wang's family didn't approve of him doing this; it was too dangerous. But they couldn't persuade him otherwise.

……

Black rhinoceros territory.

The rhinoceros was eating, its figure hidden by thorny bushes, and an unfamiliar jeep drove by in the distance.

Three black men got out of the car; they were locals, and they were all carrying guns on their backs.

"They said it was around here, but I've circled around several times and still can't see it?"

They communicate in English.

"Is the information incorrect?"

"I got Bach drunk, he said it himself."

Is it reliable?

"Baha is a senior guide here and one of the few who knows the location of the black rhinoceros. He can't be wrong."

"How about we get on the bus and look for another one?"

Just as they were about to get into the car, they suddenly heard a noise in the bushes and immediately raised their guns in alarm.

A huge black rhinoceros appeared.

All three of them wore greedy smiles.

They are ordinary locals with an average monthly income of 900 RMB.

A single rhinoceros horn can fetch tens of thousands of US dollars per kilogram. This is from an adult rhinoceros, and the horn is estimated to weigh four kilograms. Reselling it could earn hundreds of thousands of RMB.

That's why they're willing to take the risk of poaching animals—it's all about money, huge profits.

The real exorbitant profits come from the prices at which transnational smuggling groups resell these items, which are then carved into works of art and collected at high prices by wealthy individuals.

The three were about to make their move.

Suddenly, a gunshot rang out in the distance!

The bullet struck the poachers' feet, startling the three of them into a panic.

Zhang Wang slammed on the brakes, stuck his gun out the window, and shouted a warning in English: "Don't move!"

Zhang Wangkai's gunshot scared the black rhinoceros away.

The car was a few meters away, and they were being pointed at with guns. The three poachers gritted their teeth and began to try to figure out how many people were in the car opposite them.

The locals have excellent eyesight; they can even see license plates several kilometers away at a glance.

They saw through the glass that there was only one Asian person inside, and they were immediately annoyed.

"Just one person!"

"Let's give it our all!"

They suddenly raised their guns and fired at the peering vehicles, then simultaneously got into their own cars.

Zhang Wang anticipated that the other party would open fire, so he quickly lay down under the steering wheel. When he looked up again, the people had already driven the car towards him.

Zhang Wang immediately drifted around, turned around, and accelerated.

Gunshots rang out behind him, but Zhang Wang's movement was skillful, and he never had his tires punctured.

And so began a thrilling gunfight and vehicle chase across the grassland.

Without any large obstructions on the grassland, the wind carries sound very far.

When Lan Xiaoxiao and Chu Yi heard this, their hearts sank at the same time.

Was the shooting because the animal got too close to the tourists and was killed?

Wait, with so many shots fired, were they poachers? Or local illegal armed groups?

There was no smell of blood in the wind, which is a good thing.

……

Lan Xiaoxiao noticed that the Asian male face from the animal protection organization that had been following them had not appeared recently.

Are you on holiday?

The dry season is coming to an end, and the rainy season is just around the corner.

That afternoon, the sky was covered with dark, low-hanging clouds, and after a few muffled claps of thunder, a torrential downpour began.

All the animals on the grassland were waiting for this rain, and in the heavy rain, they were all soaked to the bone.

Especially the furry animals, which were soaked to the bone and looked listless, but they were all full of energy.

Lan Xiaoxiao and Chu Yi are playing in the puddles after the rain.

Looking up, I saw a jeep parked in the distance, with a man on the roof taking pictures of everything.

Zhang Wang noticed the two baby elephants looking at him and even tried to wave and greet them: "Hello."

Yes, Zhang Wang narrowly escaped death that day, and Bard arrived with his men just in time.

Mia also went to pick up her friend from Camp One.

The three poachers were also caught and sent to prison.

Zhang Wang was granted two extra days off by Bader and only returned to work today, just in time for the first rain of the rainy season.

This rain was truly magical; it instantly turned the withered grassland green again, bringing everything back to life.

After the heavy rain, the sun came out, and a clear rainbow appeared on the grassland.

The two baby elephants splashing in the puddle, the female calf raised her trunk and waved to him, a perfectly standard greeting.

Overjoyed, Zhang Wang couldn't help but shout, "My name is Zhang Wang. I'm protecting animals, protecting you all. I hope we can all stay safe and sound."

The baby elephant raised its trunk and cried out.
