Questioning delayed him, and by now, Gao Yang could see and hear the poachers running toward the sound of gunfire. Gao Yang ran to grab his FAL, and just as he was about to leave, he turned back to check what kind of guns the two people in the back seat of the off-road vehicle were carrying.
All the guns in the vehicle were AK47s. After a moment's thought, Gao Yang yanked an AK47 from the passenger seat. This way, he wouldn't have to risk going back to where the guns were hidden to retrieve the other two AK47s, especially since the ammunition for the AK47 was already on him. Now having picked up an AK47, he was ready to run.
Shooting while running was something Gao was very familiar with, and doing it again now was no big deal. The only annoyance was that because the ammunition was not interchangeable, he had to carry three long guns and one pistol while running around.
