Chapter 299 Too Rampant
“Wildlife poaching?”
Gu Chang widened his eyes and asked in disbelief.
“How dare there still be people poaching wild animals?”
Seeing Gu Chang's shocked expression, Secretary Li frowned and said in a low voice, "Logically speaking, this matter still needs to be kept secret, and I shouldn't have told you."
"But since you often go deep into the mountains, I still have to remind you."
It’s also a good thing that it can make Gu Chang more vigilant!
He paused, then warned seriously: "Be careful when you go into the mountains! These poachers are desperate guys. If you encounter them, you must quickly hide away, the farther away the better!"
Hearing this, Gu Chang's curiosity was completely aroused, and he couldn't wait to ask.
"So what exactly did they poach?"
Secretary Li clenched his fists and answered angrily: "As long as the prey has economic value, they will not let go! Like wild boars, black bears, deer, civets, hares, pheasants, turtledoves, etc., none of them are spared!"
"so much?"
Gu Chang screamed in shock, his face full of astonishment.
"Not long ago, villagers in Longxi Village east of the town accidentally discovered the body of a musk deer, a first-class national protected animal. Not only that, a black bear, a second-class national protected animal, was also brutally dismembered..."
Li Dajiang spoke in a heavy tone.
"You know, the forest musk deer can secrete precious musk, which is a rare Chinese medicinal material and is very expensive on the black market. As for the black bear, it is even more precious. After killing it, you can take out the bear gall and bear paws to sell, and other parts are also sold at a very high price..."
The more he spoke, the angrier he became.
"The profit from just one dismembered black bear was as high as hundreds of thousands of yuan!"
Li Dajiang said angrily.
Hearing this, Gu Chang gnashed his teeth in anger, his face full of anger, and asked angrily: "These people are simply extremely evil! Are we going to let them get away with it?"
"We still don't have any clues at the moment. After all, the Qinling Mountains are so vast, it's not easy to find and catch these guys!"
Li Dajiang spread his hands helplessly and replied with a sigh.
"It is precisely because of this that this group of lawless people are so unscrupulous and arrogant!" Gu Chang echoed indignantly.
"..."
"By the way, next time you go up the mountain, be careful to see if there are any power lines around you!"
Li Dajiang gave instructions with a serious face.
"The poaching gangs are getting more and more rampant nowadays! They even use something called 'electric anchor' to kill wild animals!"
Li Dajiang frowned and said.
"Electric anchor? What is that?"
Gu Chang asked doubtfully.
"This electric anchor is made up of capacitors, boosters, and batteries. After a special design, the booster can generate a high-voltage current of tens of thousands of volts!"
Li Dajiang explained.
"Then, those damn poachers will wrap the wire around the branches that serve as fixed supports, and then extend it one or two kilometers along the places where animals often appear. In this way, as long as the wire is electrified, a 'hunting net' is formed!"
Li Dajiang spoke while gesturing with his hands.
"If prey accidentally approaches and touches the electric net, it will be electrocuted to death immediately!"
"And the poachers will always stay nearby and 'pick up' the prey!"
After listening to Secretary Li’s story, Gu Chang’s face showed an expression of disbelief and astonishment!
How can these people be so unscrupulous?
Do they still have any conscience and moral bottom line?
The current of that kind of power grid is so strong that it can electrocute a black bear. So if a human touches it, wouldn’t he be dead for sure?
"This kind of power grid is too dangerous. It is simply a deadly trap!"
Li Dajiang reminded worriedly.
"You must be extra careful when you go up the mountain! Don't take it lightly!"
Then, Li Dajiang told Gu Chang solemnly: "In our Yutou Town, there have been several tragic incidents where villagers were electrocuted to death by electric anchors while climbing the mountain! Each time was a painful lesson!"
Gu Chang nodded seriously, indicating that he understood the seriousness of the situation, and replied, "Secretary Li, please rest assured. I have seldom gone up the mountain recently."
If it were someone else, Li Dajiang might not reveal these things easily.
However, Gu Chang is so special!
After all, Gu Chang is now a treasure in the eyes of everyone in Hongtong County. Everyone takes good care of him, fearing that he will be hurt in the slightest or encounter any accident.
When it comes to the God of Wealth, you must take good care of him!
