The whole process, neither the Mexican nor the crew cut man had any intention of turning back.
Until the two figures disappeared from sight.
Li Younan remained silent.
At this moment, his live-streaming equipment was already turned on. Despite it being early morning, due to it being daytime in his home country on the other side of the earth, and also because many East Coast Americans were already awake, his live stream already had a five-digit audience.
The audience couldn’t see Li Younan’s expression, which gradually turned playful at this moment.
He knew very well that these two guys were definitely not trekkers.
First of all, with their equipment alone, they couldn’t possibly be playing at trekking.
Just a while ago, Li Younan took one look at their jackets and the backpack; it seemed like a trekker’s setup, but as an experienced outdoor adventurer, Li Younan could instantly tell that their gear was far too amateur.
Of course, this still couldn’t reveal their identities, because it was indeed possible for two beginners to buy unprofessional gear and attempt a trek, thus getting lost. At first glance, it also seemed quite plausible.
However, what convinced Li Younan was the crew cut man’s casual remark, "Thank you so much, Li Younan."
During their interaction, Li Younan had never mentioned his name, which meant the other party clearly knew him.
So, the other person was either a fan or had seen his live stream, yet from the initial conversation, he didn’t reveal this, which was really abnormal.
Considering all this, Li Younan could only draw one conclusion: these two guys seemed to have targeted him specifically.
If they were targeting him, then what was their purpose?
For a brief moment, Li Younan was unable to determine.
If it was just a regular fan meeting, there was no reason for them not to express anything upon seeing him. Could there be other motives? If there were other motives, and the other party left, would they come back?
Many questions emerged in Li Younan’s mind, and he slowly squinted his eyes, realizing that being abroad was indeed not as peaceful as being at home.
And this feeling of being watched by others was definitely unpleasant.
If he couldn’t figure out their motives and objectives, Li Younan wouldn’t feel at ease for a long period of time.
Soon, he made a decision.
Li Younan took out his phone and suddenly said, "Guys, I really apologize, my phone is out of battery, I have to temporarily shut down the live stream."
The live stream chat filled with comments: "Huh? How can this be? Don’t go!"
"No, why so sudden?"
"We were still waiting to see the outcome, quickly resume!"
But Li Younan, without any further ado, directly exited the live stream.
Of course, his phone battery was fully charged.
However, the live stream was merely for monitoring scores, ensuring each hunt had a video basis, so not live-streaming wasn’t much of an issue, as long as there was footage during the hunt.
And the only reason Li Younan shut off the live stream at this time was that if they were targeting him, there was a high probability they would also enter his live stream. It’s like playing a game, if the opponent is screen-watching, any strategy or tactic becomes ineffective.
After shutting down the live stream, Li Younan began pondering another question: how did they find his campsite?
In fact, yesterday before arriving at the campsite, Li Younan hadn’t live-streamed, as that part of the journey didn’t have much appeal for streaming. It was only after climbing the platform that he started streaming, and he turned it off before going to sleep.
So even watching the stream throughout wouldn’t likely deduce his location from the details.
Moreover, during the night from sleep until waking, people who often camp in the wild know that in such wilderness, once night falls, it’s really so dark you can’t see your hand in front of your face, making it impossible to locate a campsite by eye.
Yet they appeared so precisely at the platform below, claiming it was a coincidence; Li Younan wouldn’t believe it in a million years.
So how did they find him?
After much thought, there was only one possibility.
Li Younan opened his backpack, inside was a GPS tracker flashing a green light.
Li Younan didn’t believe that the ranch owner would be bored enough to have any malicious intent against him, but it could be some staff underneath him having these thoughts.
To verify this idea, Li Younan quickly came up with a plan, suddenly mounted his white pony and said, "Remember the location where we encountered that wild boar king earlier? Forget it, you surely don’t remember, you silly horse, I’ll take you there!"
Li Younan’s eyes narrowed slightly, "I’ve never had the habit of being prey."
...
The once-Indian ruins now still retain deeply mysterious remnants.
This is the site of an ancient village from 200 years ago, said to be where the Comanche tribe resided, lacking complete buildings, only remnants and traces of life remain.
The core area of the ruins has three red earth mounds, scattered with over ten semi-underground house remnants, these broken walls are natural hunting covers.
Weeds grow rampant, ravines crisscross, vision is extremely obstructed, it’s easy to have close encounters with prey.
And this has long become a haven for wild boars.
Near the remnants is a well dug by ancient Indians, now weathered into a water pit, but during the December dry season, there’s still a deep source of water, wild boars often drink here.
