Chapter 144

Shi Wen as the Romans do.

These six camels were rather small and looked quite docile, Shi Wen opened the pasture gate and let them in first.

As soon as the camels came in, they lowered their heads and began to graze.

The area near the ranch gate is quite bare due to frequent interaction between animals and people; there's practically no grass on it.

Shi Wen their pitiful little appearance, Shi Wen couldn't help but go inside and get a bag of hay to give the camels an extra meal.

Regardless, we still need to make sure they have a good meal first.

Shi Wen had been delayed here for quite some time, so Yan Kexing out to find him. "Breakfast is ready, let's eat first."

"Alright, I'll be right there after I feed the camels." Shi Wen turned to Yan Kexing and said, "I wonder whose camels came with Yao Guocheng's camels? They look pretty hungry."

"Something seems off," Yan Kexing said suddenly, examining the camel. "This should be a wild Bactrian camel."

Shi Wen's hand holding the grass froze. "No way? Just these? Aren't wild Bactrian camels supposed to be extremely rare?"

"I'm not mistaken," Yan Kexing, walking over to look. "You see, they're much smaller than typical Bactrian camels, their fur doesn't look like it's been trimmed, and they actually look slightly different from domesticated camels."

Shi Wen at the camels and agreed with Yan Kexing's point of view. These six camels did look a bit different from domesticated camels. He had thought they were baby camels, but they turned out to be wild camels.

It seems like they find wild animals way too easily.

Shi Wen sighed and said, "Then should I call Captain Zhou and the others?"

"Go ahead and attack," Yan Kexing said, looking at the wild camels. "Perhaps when you fed them yesterday, they took a liking to the pasture's fodder and brought their companions to find you."

Shi Wen, "They don't have that many emotions? You might as well say that the camels found out I didn't like wild rabbits, so they brought me wild camels."

Yan Kexing: "That's possible."

Shi Wen shook his head. "That sounds too strange."

Yan Kexing laughed, "As an auspicious Auspicious Beasts with Qilin Bloodline, nothing is surprising to you."

"Thank you for that assessment," Shi Wen sighed, resignedly calling Zhou Hongzhong. "I hope Captain Zhou and the others won't find it strange."

Zhou Hongzhong seemed unfazed by the call, his voice remaining remarkably calm. "Are you sure it's a wild Bactrian camel? We don't recall ever spotting a wild Bactrian camel here before."

At that Shi Wen was, "Yan Kexing judged it to be a wild Bactrian camel."

Zhou Hongzhong: "Then I have no problem with that. I'll bring my men over right away."

Shi Wen, "If you want to transport them, bring a bigger vehicle. There are six camels in total, and they're not very big. You should bring your team's biggest vehicle; one vehicle should be enough to fit them all."

Zhou Hongzhong: "Okay, please wait a moment."

Yan Kexing to the kitchen to get the sandwiches he had made, and stood outside with Shi Wen to eat them while waiting for Zhou Hongzhong and the others.

Zhou Hongzhong and his team arrived shortly afterward.

In addition to vehicles and team members, Zhou Hongzhong also brought a veterinarian.

After checking it over, everyone was fairly certain that it was a wild Bactrian camel.

However, to determine the specific situation, a blood sample needs to be taken and sent for testing.

Zhou Hongzhong said to Shi Wen, "I don't have much space to raise them, and wild Bactrian camels are rare and precious animals. I'll leave them with you for a few days, and I'll come back to pick them up when the leaders give further instructions. Is that alright?"

Shi Wen, "Sure. Yan Kexing and the others also want to study this."

Zhou Hongzhong: "Okay, let's go back first. I'll call you again after the results are out. They should be out tonight."

Wild Bactrian camels arrived at the ranch, so Yan Kexing simply changed his itinerary and had Gong Jiang and the other two come to the ranch to work.

Gong Jiang and his two companions were surprised to see wild Bactrian camels here, and said they had come to broaden their horizons.

That evening, Zhou Hongzhong Shi Wen to confirm that it was indeed a wild Bactrian camel.

This group is not only wild Bactrian camels, but also a previously unregistered population with unique genes, which has a significant positive impact on the breeding of wild Bactrian camels.

The discovery of this herd of wild Bactrian camels will greatly help current research and conservation efforts.

If the work is done well, they might be able to be upgraded from Class I protected animals to Class II protected animals.

Zhou Hongzhong: "Your luck is incredible. The higher-ups said there are no more than a thousand wild Bactrian camels in the whole world, and there are probably only seven or eight hundred in China."

Shi Wen moment and said, "This number is quite large; it's not surprising that we've encountered it."

Zhou Hongzhong: "How can you say there aren't many? There are far fewer than giant pandas, okay? Every year before, expert teams would come to photograph wild Bactrian camels, but they rarely managed to get any."

Shi Wen, "Why? They're not that fast, are they?"

Zhou Hongzhong: "They don't run very fast, but they are naturally wary. They run away from a great distance before people even get close, so it's very difficult to take a clear photo of a wild Bactrian camel."

Shi Wen laughed from the other side, "Then you can take as many photos as you like this time."

Chapter 144

This group of wild Bactrian camels is able to survive in the local area, and after discussion, it was decided to release them back into the wild as soon as possible.

Shi Wen felt a little reluctant to leave this group of wild camels who weren't picky about food.

These camels are quite well-behaved.

Unfortunately, they are wild camels, so it's not appropriate to keep them nearby. They can only be released back into nature.

Zhou Hongzhong took the GPS tracker off the car and handed it to Shi Wen, saying, "Thank you for your hard work."

"What's so difficult about this? It's just a piece of cake." Shi Wen asked, holding the newly issued locator, "You can just put it around your neck, right?"

"Yes, it's more convenient to put it around the neck." Zhou Hongzhong stood vigilantly beside him, holding the tranquilizer gun, ready to deal with any emergencies.
