Live Streaming: Great Adventure in the Wilderness

Chapter 442: Chapter 440 Altai Argali

On the streets, the protesting crowd surged out from every street corner.

Various slogan banners explosively entered the brain, as riot police held up shields to prevent the angry crowd from rushing into the courthouse.

“Capital punishment should be reinstated!”

“Such people should be hanged!”

These were the animal protectionists’ slogans, their rage bursting forth like an erupting volcano, continuously slamming into the shields, drenching the defending police in sweat.

“If he is released on bail, then I will definitely question the meaning of the law’s existence!”

“Everyone should be sentenced to life imprisonment!”

These were somewhat rational, the public acting in unison to demonstrate against the courthouse, imposing immense psychological pressure.

“To protect animals is to protect humans!”

“We cannot tolerate someone who destroys the future of humanity to stay in society—their only place is in prison!”

These were more objective. They held up signs, chanted slogans, and spread their message to the uninformed public around the streets.

All of this came to a halt with the fall of a small gavel.

“Life imprisonment!”

The moment the news broke out, the previously calm sea of people surged like a tsunami.

“Good!”

“It should be like this!”

“Death penalty, it should be the death penalty!”

“Let him be skinned like the geese, then he’ll know regret!”

“He should go straight to Hell!”

Inside the courthouse, Bi Fang rose from the public gallery. Though not a Frenchman, given his actions and contributions, it was only fitting he was granted the privilege to attend.

Bi Fang was also quite satisfied with this outcome. Since France didn’t have the death penalty, life imprisonment was the most severe punishment.

As the guards escorted Legoff down the aisle, he suddenly turned his head to look at Bi Fang in the public gallery and stopped in his tracks.

The two guards tried to push him forward, but they couldn’t move him!

Even after half a year inside, this strong man’s muscles remained robust. He stared intently at Bi Fang, his eyes seemingly filled with endless resentment.

Bi Fang did not give him another glance, satisfied with the outcome. He donned his hat and turned to walk outside.

“I have a brother!”

“Take him away! Quick!” the judge said, pounding the gavel discontentedly.

Bi Fang’s steps faltered for a moment but did not stop.

…

In the taxi, Bi Fang stared out the window, lost in thought.

What did Legoff mean?

Revenge?

Or something else?

Who was his brother? Another poacher?

He knew nothing at all now, and even if he asked, Legoff wouldn’t say more.

“What are you thinking about?” Étienne asked.

“Nothing much,” Bi Fang pinched the bridge of his nose, and then suddenly laughed, “Just thinking about what to have for dinner.”

At the mention of this, Étienne became interested. Not to mention anything else, Huaxia’s cuisine was indeed a whole new version he had never experienced, distinct in flavor from the overly elaborate French cuisine!

“Let’s have hotpot, I’ll take you to try authentic hotpot,” Bi Fang said offhandedly.

Meet force with force, water with earth. It didn’t matter who Legoff’s brother was; the main deeds were still his own. If the other party was also a poacher, they would probably resolve the issue in the wilderness.

Reality is not as exaggerated as in novels. Poachers are like rats in the shadows; if they sought retaliation in the light of day, it would be sheer suicide.

After hoodwinking Étienne, Bi Fang took out his phone and asked Liu Qian to help contact the Xishuangbanna Reserve to discuss live streaming arrangements.

Ordinary people definitely couldn’t enter the depths of the rainforest. If found by forest rangers, they might be shot on the spot.

There was no doubt that the reserve would agree, given Bi Fang’s background and influence, as well as his consistently good reputation. But there was a process that still had to be followed.

How exactly to enter also needed to be discussed.

Bi Fang cast aside the pointless thoughts, flipping through recent news. As he browsed, his finger paused.

“King of the Nepali Argali killed by poachers!”

“According to the official report from the Nepal Natural Animal Conservation Association on May 14th, in the Himalayas… A total of seven argalis were victimized, all Altai Argali, the largest sheep in the world. When discovered, all their horns had been cut off, and their pelts were gone. They are also a second-class protected species in our country… According to the traces found at the scene, the poachers’ killing likely took place around May 9th.”

Beneath the news report, there was an interview clip with reserve staff. In the video, a dark-cheeked worker explained.

“We still can’t confirm if only seven argalis were harmed, because we can’t determine if the poachers took any live argalis…”

“Argalis are an endangered species. The very idea of killing them to take parts of their beautiful bodies is abhorrent.”

“The primary need of life is survival, and every species has the right to ensure its own existence. For every one of us, starting from ourselves, respecting life means respecting humans themselves.”

May 9th, the Himalayas!

He swiftly captured the two key words.

Bi Fang’s pupils contracted slightly. Those poachers had been nearby at the time!

Below the report, many people had left comments.

“Poachers deserve to die!”

“From an adaptation perspective, the evolution of the argali is actually quite successful. But the problem is that they’re still too big a target and are valuable all over. Thus, with the prolonged hunting by humans, many wild subspecies of argalis have been reduced by more than half. In some areas, regional extinction has even occurred.”

“Is it necessary? It’s just a sheep, right? People are going nuts over animal protection.”

“Haven’t you watched Master Fang’s live streams? Do you even understand? You’re like a toilet, protecting animals is protecting ourselves! Think about it, if Artemisia annua had been extinct for a hundred years, where would artemisinin come from?”

“Live streaming? Never watch it. Not even a dog cares about that.”

“What, after watching a live stream, you become a high and mighty person?”

“All life has potential value, the extinction of any species affects the food chain, leading to the extinction of more species. The potential value can quickly disappear, and by the time humans need it, it’s too late.”

“May 9th, the Himalayas, isn’t that where Master Fang was live streaming? Worlds are colliding!”

“Damn, if Master Fang was there, would those poachers have the nerve to act so arrogantly? He’d have sent them all packing!”

“Who is Master Fang? Is he famous? Why is everyone discussing it?”

“Wild guess—is the avalanche… Dog’s Head Protection.”

Thanks to the geese expedition, the world had branded Bi Fang as an “anti-poacher,” and now the poachers were right under his nose, stirring a buzz among viewers.

Some even regretted that the two did not meet face-to-face; otherwise, Bi Fang would surely have prevented their success.

But all of these were unrealistic thoughts.

Feeling a bit of regret, Bi Fang put down his phone and quietly waited for the Banna Reserve’s response.
