I raise furry animals and fly them to my motherland.

Chapter 82: About to be Skinned
"Well, a group of bird hunters will be coming here with shotguns to catch birds."

"They should be coming here on two-wheeled motorcycles. Can you help me keep an eye on them and use the hummingbirds to tip off the vulture brothers?"

[Of course! I'll go inform all the family members right away!]
The gerbils received the snacks as rewards and happily returned to the underground to spread the news to all the gerbils within a radius of ten miles.

The vultures temporarily rested in the date palm grove, and as soon as they received the information from the hummingbirds, they immediately took off as "reconnaissance planes" to observe and track the bird hunters in the air.

After arranging everything, to be on the safe side, Xu Ying drove her conspicuous dune scooter back to the area where the meerkat family and the gray drongo often moved. The two bird hunters had not gained anything in this area before, so they generally would not come here again.

When the sun set, the big four-legged vulture flew from the horizon and landed next to Xu Ying.

Xu Ying saw the vulture brothers coming and asked impatiently, "What happened? Did you run into anyone?"

The vulture brothers nodded, puffed out their chests, and looked like they had successfully completed their mission.

[There were three people hunting birds this time, two men and one woman. They searched for a long time in the date palm grove, but they didn't find even a single bird feather.]
[While they were looking for prey, they suddenly received a phone call and then rode back on the two motorcycles they had driven.]
We followed them in the air for about two hours, and then we saw them stop in what looked like a small village. There were several mud houses and the big blue truck you showed us! We were sure they were poachers!
[We saw quite a few people inside these mud houses, probably more than ten in total, each armed with a hunting rifle. It wasn't very clear what was going on inside the houses.]
With the intelligence provided by the vultures, they could pinpoint the location of the fur farm. Just as Xu Ying was feeling elated about this breakthrough, a hummingbird flew over: "Stationmaster, the little gerbils have more to report to you. Please wait for them."
The little gerbil came over and added, "Stationmaster, I heard the content of the phone call they received. It seems that they asked them to get back to work quickly. They said they received a large order and are short-handed when the work starts."
Is it time to start work?

Xu Ying's heart skipped a beat. Isn't the so-called work on a fur farm just catching animals and skinning them?
Combined with the fact that “a big order was received”, the situation is most likely the latter.

These people are going to take action against the animals in the fur farm today!

The vultures said they flew for about two hours. Based on the vultures' speed of about 50 kilometers per hour, the location of the Black Heart Fur Farm was probably no more than 100 kilometers away from here.

She calculated the approximate location of the Black Heart Fur Farm based on the latitude and longitude coordinates of her current location, and reported the existence and approximate coordinates of the fur farm to the Desert Police Station.

After listening to Xu Ying's report, Chen Su grasped the key point: "Are you saying that this fur farm is hidden in an old mud house?"

Xu Ying immediately responded, "Yes, Vulture said those houses are very old and made of mud bricks."

"It's very likely that it was rebuilt from an abandoned village."

Chen Sutou replied after a moment, "We've already located the abandoned village according to the coordinates you calculated. Now that we know the exact location, we'll rush over immediately. Please be careful and don't let me act rashly."

Xu Ying knew her own limitations very well. It was impossible for her to shut down the black-hearted farm on her own: "Okay, I'll check out the situation outside first." After the Desert Police Station accepted Xu Ying's call, it immediately dispatched police forces.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Ying quickly got on the dune scooter and said, "Take me there quickly! The animals on the fur farm are at risk of being skinned at any time!"

The animals shuddered at the mere mention of "skinning." It was truly bloody! The furry creatures were truly miserable; their beautiful, warm fur became the cause of their deaths.

Xu Ying turned around and asked the five little gerbils who had just arrived: "Little gerbils, can you go on this business trip with me? The reward will definitely be generous!"

Xu Ying was afraid that the situation would become critical when they arrived at the destination and he would have no time to find a new intelligence officer.

The five little gerbils looked at each other and expressed their opinions.

[These bad guys must be caught. The huge damage they cause to the ecology will eventually affect the survival of us rodents.]
[Although we mice are food for many furry animals, after saving them this time, will we five mice have a golden ticket to immortality?]
Xu Ying nodded upon hearing this: "I will help you negotiate for a golden ticket to avoid death!"

[Okay, let’s get going!]
[It feels so good to make our predators bow down to us and shed tears of gratitude just thinking about it!]
The little gerbils jumped onto Xu Ying's sand scooter with high morale.

Xu Ying drove his motorcycle at full speed.

The little leader, the gray drongo, led the hummingbirds to inform the hiding birds that the date palm forest was safe and they could go home.

After receiving the notice, the birds hiding everywhere flew back to the date palm grove. The date palm grove was filled with chirping and was extremely lively.

[Will the stationmaster and the others be in any danger?]
[We have so many birds, can we help?]
[But those poachers have hunting rifles and can kill us with just one shot.]
"One shot from them could kill us. If the gun hits Station Master Xu, oh my god, I can't imagine someone as good as Station Master Xu being hit by a hunting rifle..."
The birds in the woods all looked confused.

"But how can we help? Humans are not afraid of us at all. If we peck at them with our sharp beaks, we will be killed by hunting rifles before we even get close to them."
The birds really couldn't think of any other way to help Station Master Xu.

The gray-tailed sparrow tilted its head, thinking about how it had shocked the strange bald man near the rescue station for most of the day with its own strength this morning. Its bean-sized eyes suddenly lit up.

[I've come up with a solution. Humans aren't just afraid of our sharp mouths!]
[Stationmaster Xiao Xu said that these poachers use shotguns with a range of fifty to one hundred meters. As long as we fly a hundred meters high, we won't be harmed!]
The other birds were still confused after hearing what the gray drongo said: "Fly a hundred meters? Then what? So what's the solution?"
The gray drongo scratched the bark with its claws. [Uh, it's an unseemly but effective method!]
