"Wh-What do you want!?"
The bearded man, now awake, looked at the people in front of him in terror, swallowing hard.
He turned his head to check the tall, thin guy and the man in the military cap who were also tied up nearby, still lying with their eyes closed. He used his elbow to jab the man in the cap, trying to wake him up.
But after several prods, the man in the military cap remained absolutely still, unsure if he was pretending to be unconscious or truly not awake.
Seeing this, the bearded man felt even more panic inside.
He hoped that these people in front of him were fellow poachers, then perhaps he could negotiate, offer some benefits, and maybe they would release them.
But if they weren't fellow poachers, then things would be quite dire.
He had heard before that poaching was a serious crime in China, let alone the fact that they had snuck over here illegally. If they got caught, they might end up working themselves to death in prison.
