The drone, Nekhbet, had made great contributions during their trip to Egypt. Without it, Zhang Zian and his team might not be able to leave the desert at all, or they might be forced to return after just two or three days.
After leaving the desert, he bought it from Binhai University as a second-hand item. It was well maintained, and there were not many scratches on it. He would take it out and use it from time to time because electronic products were not to be used. Especially when he went to the beach to pick up the sea or took an assault boat out to sea with Sihwa, there were drones monitoring from the sky. If a boat passed by nearby, it could be discovered from a distance.
Now it was time for it to show off its skills. Whether it was the power grid or the fierce dog, it didn’t care about them.
Zhang Zian assembled the propeller, battery, and cloud camera, then carefully controlled it to take off. When it flew out of the sparse woods at a steady and low speed, he gave it the command to climb, and then rose at the fastest speed out of the vision of the surveillance camera.
Nekhbet was quick to react. He climbed up almost in a straight line and transmitted the captured images to the screen of the remote control in real time.
The entire slaughterhouse could be seen at a glance.
As Zhang Zian had guessed, the slaughterhouse was not large. Other than the only entrance and exit, the whole place was surrounded by power grids. There were also people in security uniforms patrolling the factory with fierce Dobbies.
The entrance and exit were on the other side of the slaughterhouse, in the opposite direction of Zhang Zian. A simple road stretched into the forest.
The drone could not see the situation inside the factory, and he did not want to see the bloody dismemberment scene.
At that moment, a convoy of transport vehicles drove over from the distance. The truck compartment had been modified and sealed with an iron cage.
The convoy stopped at the entrance. After the security guard verified their identity, he opened the gate and let the convoy in.
Some employees walked out of the factory, opened the truck, and drove the electric forklift to move the iron cages into the factory.
Through the drone’s camera, it could be clearly seen that these iron cages were filled with deer, including white-tailed deer, black-tailed deer, sika deer, and so on.
The deers seemed to have a premonition of their fate, shaking their heads and chirping restlessly in the narrow cage.
It was worth noting that each car in the convoy had the logo of a deer farm.
What was going on?
Zhang Zian had previously guessed that the slaughterhouses might collect the dead deer in the forest for processing, or even illegally kill wild deer to reduce costs. However, there was a loophole in this guess that was difficult to answer, and that was how the slaughterhouses knew where the wild deer died.
The forest was vast, and wild deer that died of natural causes or from chronic slimming disease could have died anywhere. Before the deer’s bodies were found, they might have been eaten by scavengers in the forest.
From the looks of it, the slaughterhouse’s raw materials were live deer bought from the farm?
Did he wrongly accuse the manufacturer of Leshi dog food?
This meant that all his previous speculations might have to be overturned. Although it was hard for him to accept it, he could not let go of a bad person, nor could he wrong a good person.
The drone was hovering high in the air, and the employees on the ground would not look up at the sky for no reason, so he was not worried about being noticed.

This was not a popular hiking route, so there would not be any tourists. The security guards actually spent most of their time pretending, so their work was easy and safe.
Just as he was about to order the drone to return, he suddenly noticed the name of the farm on the car. He had an idea and ordered the drone to stop, then tried to open the web page.
Open … Open … Open …
He mumbled in his heart. After a few seconds, the webpage appeared even though it was slow. It seemed that he could indeed access the internet here.
He searched for news related to this farm and quickly browsed through it. He noticed an inconspicuous piece of news that was ranked at the bottom.
According to the news, the chronic slimming disease of deer had spread from Central America to Western America, and deer suspected of being infected had been found in sporadic areas in California. Therefore, in order to prepare for a rainy day, The Deer Hunter Association in California took radical measures and proposed a series of relevant bills in the state parliament. One of the most controversial proposals was that if a deer was found infected in any farm in the forest, all the deer in the farm must be killed.
Before this, if similar infectious diseases broke out in other animals, such as pig plague, chicken plague, mad cow disease, and so on, they would adopt the policy of killing as a whole when they found an infected individual. But this time, when it came to deer, the deer farm owners refused to do so.
The other proposal was to ban live deer, including blood and essence, from entering and leaving California.
The third proposal was to prohibit the establishment of new deer farms, and the existing deer farms must be fenced with higher fences to prevent the reared deer from escaping.
The reason for the three bills proposed by The Deer Hunter Association was that, so far, in areas where the disease had been discovered, most of the epidemic broke out from deer farms and was suspected to have spread to wild deer.
If the disease was allowed to spread in California, it would seriously threaten the survival of wild deer herds. If all the wild deer were dead, wouldn’t The Deer Hunter Association only exist in name?
These three proposals were naturally strongly boycotted by deer farms in California. They believed that there was no evidence to prove that the disease broke out from the farms. Besides, who would pay for the raising of the fence? Who would be responsible for the losses of the farm owners?
The two factions kept quarreling in the State Council, each using all their resources to lobby the state members to support their own side.
At present, the two factions had not yet decided who would win, but the balance of victory had quietly tilted in the favor of The Deer Hunter Association.
Due to the continuous spread of the deer’s chronic slimming disease, as well as the rumor that the disease might be transmitted to people by deer, many ordinary people, who had thought that it was none of their business, began to worry. Most ordinary people didn’t care about the life and death of reared and wild deer, nor did they care about the losses of the capitalists on the farms. As long as they could effectively eliminate the danger they might face, they were willing to vote with their feet, and the state councilors had to take into account the will of the voters.
Once The Deer Hunter Association won, it was conceivable that the deer farm owners in California would suffer heavy losses.

After reading this news, Zhang Zian tried to theorize from the perspective of the farm owner that if he was the owner of a deer farm and saw that the struggle in the State Council was at a disadvantage and might suffer huge losses, would he try to sell all the deer in the farm before they were forcibly exterminated? Even if they were sold at a low price, it was better than being killed unconditionally.
There was an old China saying that goes,”a Xuanji family is extremely rich, and everything with fur doesn’t count.” It was really philosophical and visionary.
This made sense.

In fact, the location where The Deer Hunter Association and the deer breeders were fighting in the Parliament was Minnesota, but for the sake of the plot, it was arranged to be in California.
