Carrying four long guns on his back, Gao Yang walked very slowly. Although he was physically strong and there were still four or five hours left before it was completely dark, he didn't need to walk too fast.
As he moved, Gao Yang also had to be careful of the possibility of encountering poachers, so after walking a certain distance, he would stop to carefully observe with his binoculars before continuing forward.
Stopping and starting, the progress was slow, but after Gao Yang had walked for about three hours, and it was past six in the evening, he saw a column of smoke in the distance.
Upon seeing the smoke, Gao Yang became cautious. He moved away from the tire tracks and started to proceed with caution. After walking for over half an hour, he could see a long thorn wall, and about a kilometer away from the thorn wall, there was an off-road vehicle parked with roughly dozens of people gathered around it.
