Chapter 183: Aesthetics of Violence (3-in-1 Childe Chihime +3)
It's not so much a black object as a black shelf.
It was something that looked like a water tower, with a black elevated platform underneath and a high platform resembling a water tower or watchtower above, the whole thing was painted in yellow and black camouflage, and through the oblique rays of sunlight, there were also bright reflections, indicating that there were windows.
Building a water tower in the desert?
Impossible, right?
"That's not a water tower......
Wang Kui put down the binoculars, observed the whole again, and then looked around along the elevated tower, "This should be a watchtower, used to monitor wild animals and hunting, this is a common mode of ambush animal hunting, with a wide field of view and high security." β
"In North America, ambush hunters generally replace the lookout and animal hunting platform with a tree frame, which is built directly on the tree, so that while gaining a high field of view, it can also have a high degree of concealment. β
"The establishment of a watchtower in the Mamon Reserve generally refers to the number and frequency of biological activities, and the tiger and lion beast also needs food, and there is a high probability that it will also go in this direction, let's chase it over and take a look!"
After getting back into the car, he pressed the wipers to clean up the dust from the front windshield, pulled out a whistle in his mouth with his right hand, and jumped onto the car with a leap along the pedal.
That's where the convenience of an open-top vehicle comes in, otherwise it would be too inconvenient to open and close the door for both of them every time.
The so-called "easy to go up the mountain, difficult to go down".
Coming down from a huge hill and the sand is so soft, Wang Kui had to be very precise with the throttle and brake switch, otherwise he would either break down or overturn.
Fortunately, his armed police card has been upgraded to special operations, specifically strengthening the professional driving of vehicles over obstacles.
Drive all the way down, there is no danger.
When we arrived at the sandy road, the car was still rickety.
At this time, he began to receive a system prompt in his mind: "You have entered the Arabian Desert hunting grounds, and the mission time limit has started!"
Glancing at the red countdown in the lower right corner, Wang Kui subconsciously kicked the accelerator to accelerate.
As he farther and farther southeast, into the deep hinterland of the Mammun Reserve, he could finally see some greenery around him, and although they were less than ten centimeters tall, they were a good sign.
Where there is grass, there must be water.
When both are present, there will be herbivore activity, and with herbivores, there will be carnivores, which is a whole food chain cycle.
At this time.
A cracked field appeared in front of it, overgrown with various willow shrubs.
Wang Kui hurriedly stopped the car and walked to the side, "From the cracked sandy surface, it can be seen that this place was once flooded, and when the water evaporates, the soil shrinks, causing the ground to be full of cracks like this." β
With a slight break, he pulled out a lump of dry sand, and sure enough, there was wet mud underneath.
"Normally, we would find water if we kept digging down, but these plants warned us that the water here was undrinkable, and that it was a strange willow, a very common desert plant, but it grew in saline soil. β
Wang Kui picked a leaf, put it in his mouth and bit it, "Slightly!"
He stuck out his tongue and spit out the leaves: "It's really salty, like a mouthful of salt, so it's also called salt fir, and the groundwater here is saline-alkali water, once we drink it, it's like seawater, but it will accelerate the dehydration of the body and make you thirstier!"
Salty plants?
It was the first time the audience had heard that plants were salty.
[666, this is really learned!]
[Lao Kui: You are what I have experienced, salty taste!]
Wang Kui wiped the sweat on his forehead with a tactical glove, the lower palm of this glove is made of the same material as suede, and it is very comfortable to wipe sweat, "We have to change another place to find water!"
As the sun continued to move westward, the time came to two o'clock in the afternoon.
It's the hottest time of the day, mid-to-late September, the end of summer in the Northern Hemisphere.
The highest daytime temperature in the Arabian Desert has exceeded 40 degrees Celsius!
The big belly and puff in the back seat have already grinned and stuck out their tongues, and began to assist in heat dissipation, but they are both short-haired dogs, which are more tolerant to high temperatures, if they are replaced by long-haired dogs, they may have suffered heat stroke at this time.
So.
Finding water has not only become the focus of hunting tigers, lions and beasts, but also the survival of him and the hounds.
After driving about seven or eight kilometers to the southeast.
The surrounding vegetation has become more lush, and large shrubs more than a meter tall have begun to appear.
"Chirp~"
Perhaps it was the car engine that was so loud that it alarmed some birds in the bushes to fly into the sky.
"There's biological activity, that's a good sign!"
Wang Kui let go of the throttle and slowly squirmed, his eyes looking around, scanning the environment in the bushes on both sides.
Hard work pays off.
He finally found a green pool.
"Hehehe......"
The big belly smelled the water and gasped for breath with excitement.
Wang Kui overturned the car and walked to the waterhole.
This should also be the groundwater infiltration to the surface, plus the precipitation formed, the waterhole area is not large, is connected by several intermittent puddles, almost more than ten meters long, four or five meters wide, half a palm deep, easy to touch to the end.
There was a lot of green stuff floating on it, I don't know if it was algae or what, and there was even a small white foam, which made me feel sick to my stomach.
In short, it doesn't look like it can be drunk.
Stopping the impatient big belly and Badu, Wang Kui first lightly dipped his fingers in a little water, put it on the tip of his tongue and licked it, "It's still a little salty, but at least it's very close to fresh water, but look at the insect corpses next to the waterhole......"
With the direction of his fingers.
The audience was amazed to see several brown-black, turtle-like insect corpses, just stuck on the edge of the pool, and a few unknown insects, directly rushing up to their abdomen, lying in the green algae, covered with white fluff, looking moldy.
"This water can't be drunk, even if it is underground seepage water, it is living water, but because there are too many corpses of insects, bacteria have been breeded, and it may even contain a large number of parasites, once you drink it rashly, it is easy to cause leptospirosis, giardiasis, schistosomiasis and other ......"
Although everyone doesn't know what these diseases are that Lao Kui is talking about.
But because in Sigou Mountain before, when Lao Kui dissected the corpse of a wild mouse, everyone had seen white parasitic worms.
Therefore, there are countless parasites drilling back and forth in your internal organs and blood, and everyone feels shuddered and straightens their hairs.
"It's still ...... the old way"
Wang Kui dug a deep pit three meters away from the waterhole and used sand to filter the seepage water, which is a very convenient and effective way to get water.
While waiting for the water to seep and let it stand.
He turned off the car and opened the lid.
The audience saw that the entire engine compartment had been completely covered with yellow sand, all of which was dust, no wonder Lao Kui insisted on choosing this simple, hard-core off-road vehicle, if it was a different vehicle, maybe the engine failure would have occurred long ago.
Wang Kui put his hand on the top of the engine five or six centimeters: "Wow! I haven't even touched it, I already feel the heat wave, it seems that the temperature in this cabin has already exceeded 90 degrees!"
The temperature in the desert is already high, and he is a big foot throttle to continue to climb off-road, the engine has been maintaining high rpm, and the temperature must be extremely fast.
Some viewers suggested that the water in the pool should be used directly to cool down, and the engine would not be infected with parasites anyway.
"Now the temperature is too high, it is not suitable to pour water directly, otherwise the temperature of the cylinder body will drop sharply, the thermal expansion and contraction, and it will be easy to deform, so let's wait for it to cool down......"
After saying that, he was not idle.
He began to follow the edge of the pool, one by one, carefully observing the traces around him.
If the desert is fluid and easy to step on, but it is also easy to disappear, then the wet mud at the edge of the waterhole can leave traces of up to three or four days ago.
"This is the first water source within dozens of miles southeast of the Mamon Reserve, for an adult tiger and lion beast, this distance is not too far, but I am really afraid that he will not be able to withstand the temptation, drink the water here, with its little immunity, drinking this water will definitely cause diarrhea, and even die of dehydration!"
Wang Kui said this because he didn't want to find traces of Hassan here.
Because once the target dies, the bounty is a trivial matter, and the most important thing is the task reward, which is the most loss!
Fortunately.
Rotated twice.
He did not find large plum-shaped feline footprints, but found several bottle cap-sized hoof prints of the order Artiodactyl, indicating that there were antelope creatures in the vicinity.
"It's okay, this guy isn't stupid......"
Wang Kui breathed a sigh of relief, returned to the puddle and filled the military kettle with water, and when he took a sip, the slightly salty and earthy water entered his throat, and it was still a little delicious.
He's so thirsty.
The big belly and the pit are even more squeezed the dog's head into the sand pit, like a bullfight, you push me, I push you, licking the water with his tongue harder.
After a few sips.
Refilled with water, Wang Kui poured it on the engine, although there was no sound of "zizi", but the water marks did disappear at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it dried very quickly, which is enough to prove that the temperature in the cabin can fry eggs!
For this trip to the desert, it was also taken into account that there were car-type vehicles.
He bought a large cylindrical marching water bottle and filled it with a bottle that would at least guarantee a single person drinking water for the next few hours.
Airplanes~~
After driving away from the waterhole, the surrounding greenery began to increase, and the rabbit mounds on both sides became larger, like a canyon.
Wang Kui slowed down, grasped the steering wheel with one hand, and used a telescope to observe the surrounding bushes.
"This kind of place is very suitable for carnivore hunting, the terrain is narrow, single channel, and there are bushes on both sides, it is simply a wonderful natural ambush ground, and when you pass through this kind of place, you have to be careful, because although the Arabian desert does not have apex predators such as lions, tigers, and leopards", but there are hyenas!"
Hyena?
When many people hear this name, they immediately think of the villain in "The Lion King": Spotted Hyena!
As the second African brother who can compete with the lion king, the hyena's attack power should not be underestimated.
"There is only one kind of hyena distributed in West Asia, called the striped hyena, although it is a small one in the hyena family, but it can still grow to 1.2 meters, more than 100 catties, an adult striped hyena, can hunt zebras alone. β
"And this guy can run up to 56 kilometers per hour in the desert, and even chase alternately at the top speed for more than seven or eight hours, with extremely strong endurance, to be honest, even if I drive, in this environment, I can't maintain an average speed of 50 kilometers all the way!"
The audience listened:
[Awesome!worthy of being the second brother of Africa!]
[It would be nice if hyenas could be domesticated, this thing's hunting ability is too strong, and sometimes the lion pack may not be as efficient as the hound pack!]
[Yes, I feel that hyenas are even fiercer than North American gray wolves!]
[Lao Kui's current hound configuration is also good, Badu is extremely fast, the main battle is big, the most important thing for hunting dogs is to be obedient, and the team ability is always stronger than the individual show, otherwise why don't you have a hunter with a feline hunt?]
......
Wang Kui swept around, but found no traces of fighting: "To be honest, with Hassan's current strength, the only ones who can threaten its safety in the Arabian Desert are hyenas, I hope they don't run into it!"
Continue to the southeast.
After two or three kilometers, he was out of the canyon and the oasis, and the surrounding area was again a sea of yellow sand.
The desert will always be like this.
Monotonous, repetitive, and hopeless.
Raising land, Wang Kui followed the windshield and saw that there was a row of traces like line segments on the small sand dunes in front of him.
He hurriedly stopped the car and looked closer, and it was a footprint the size of two little fingers.
Viewers who regularly watch his live streams know what it is.
Traces of rabbits!
"It's a hare footprint, the desert is very fluid, and it won't take more than five minutes to leave footprints, which means it's nearby!"
Wang Kui quickly leaned down and began to observe with a telescope.
It just so happened that from the morning to now, he hadn't had time to eat, but fortunately he was driving all the way, and if he had walked on foot, he would have run out of strength.
After scanning around, there was no trace of a hare.
But he didn't dare to move more.
"The desert terrain is very special, let alone chasing by car, even if I approach it on foot, it is easy to be spotted by the target, because the surrounding area is almost unobstructed, a piece of yellow sand, so it is difficult to give birth to large carnivores in the desert environment, because it is not easy to hide. β
"Even the African semi-desert steppes that are better than it, either like lions and hyenas, rely on team hunting, or walk the high speed and high burst of cheetahs and leopards to improve the success rate, so we have to use ambush hunting!"
Wang Kui returned to the back of the car, turned off the engine, and took out a black nylon long box.
Open the box, on the black foam inside, there is a bolt-action rifle about 1.1 meters long, the shape of the whole gun is very similar to the old-fashioned rifle shape, the barrel is sub-black, the gun body, the butt is integrated carbon fiber material, painted with a layer of black, white and gray moire camouflage.
As soon as he took out his shotgun, he took out a huge black scope more than 30 centimeters long, and with a "click", it stuck on the receiver mirror seat on the top of the rifle and began to fix it.
At the same time, he took out the folding tripod in the box and anchored it to the front of the rifle body with screws.
[Lao Kui changed his gun again, so handsome!]
[I just like to listen to the metal impact of assembling firearms!]
[There are such bells and whistles in reality, I thought this kind of skin was only available in CF!]
Wang Kui gave everyone a brief explanation of the information about this rifle.
Bolt-action rifles are semi-automatic rifles, each shot, you need to pull the bolt, the ammunition capacity is five rounds, his black country Ti version is the top tuning version of the Weatherby Mark V, the price is close to 30,000 soft girl coins.
He took out the 6.5 caliber rifle from the bullet clip on his belt, unlocked the bolt, clamped the two bullets, and quickly stuffed them into the magazine.
Listening to the bullet jamming into the magazine and the sound of Lao Kui pulling the spring of the bolt to load, the audience was fascinated and deeply experienced the beauty of the precision and violence of the firearm.
Wang Kui grabbed a handful of sand and slowly let go.
After finding the right direction of the wind, he came to the downwind position, inserted the bipod deep into the sand, and the whole person lay on the hot sand, his body straight, almost as close to the sand as possible.
Then, he spoke: "The closer the gun is to the ground, the better the shooting effect, my current prone position is the most suitable position for long-range shooting, and I will try to see if I can attract the hare with my cry!"
Although he chose to hunt before, it doesn't mean that he forgot about ambush hunting, it's just that there is no special skill enhancement.
The expert-level ambush understanding can still give him super ambush ability.
The two hounds, Dagu and Badu, also hid beside them, ready to attack at any time.
Wang Kui squinted, took a deep breath, and pinched his throat: "Squeak! squeak!"
"I imitate the sound of a young rabbit being injured and calling for help, and generally adult hares will basically probe out to see when they hear it!"
This is not the first time the audience has heard Lao Kui imitate animal calls.
This seemingly simple voice sound actually requires a very deep understanding of animals and a long time to practice!
[I'm so nervous!]
[I don't know if I can be fooled?]
[Desert hunting is really too difficult!I can't run away from this group of herbivores, and I can't get close!]
After shouting twice.
Wang Kui put his right eye on the scope.
Through the aerial shooting of the drone, the audience saw that Lao Kui's lattodorsi muscles were fully expanded, like a jaguar, and the carbon fiber butt was stuck in the depression of the deltoid muscle in his shoulder, tilting his head to aim, like a sniper of special operations, quietly waiting for the prey to come to the door!
It's a pity.
A minute passes.
There was no movement or shadow in the surrounding dunes.
Did it fail?
"Squeak, squeak!"
Wang Kui was not in a hurry, and shouted twice, the most important thing needed for ambush hunting is patience, "I used the scope to see that there were many hare footprints on the sand in front of me, it must be nearby, but out of cleverness, I didn't dare to take my head." β
"If we go up to check at this time, it will find and run away, so don't rush, hold ......"
Ambush hunting is boring compared to stalk hunting.
But in the face of this situation, the best way to get close to your prey in such difficult conditions is to keep it close to you.
That's the essence of ambush hunting!
Another minute passed, and Wang Kui repeated the cry again.
But seeing that ten minutes have passed, there is still no response.
So, he decisively grabbed the sand, "Sure enough, the wind direction has changed, the three most important elements of ambush hunting, make sure you don't leak sound, leak vision, the most difficult thing to control, is the leakage of the wind! The wind direction is very important, let's change it!"
Getting up, Wang Kui carried the black country rifle and quickly ran towards the new downwind direction, with the big belly and Badu following behind, there was a kind of excitement of the sniper on the battlefield exposing his position and retreating quickly with the observer!
Arrive at the new hunting spot.
He put down the gun again and continued to repeat the routine just now: "Ambush hunting is actually a point, the more points you can hit in your hand, as long as you don't expose it, even if the target does not appear for the time being, the initiative is still in your hands!"
And just as he whispered to the audience.
Suddenly, a white shadow appeared on the sand in the distance.
Wait a minute!
It's two!
There are two shadows!
"Arabian Golden Sands Rabbit ......"
Wang Kui squinted, and his pupils began to burst out with a sharp light like an eagle falcon, his right eye was aimed at the scope, and his left hand quickly adjusted the parallax and elevation angle correction above the mirror body, which had already become his instinct because of the hunter and the armed police card!
At this time, the distance between the two sides is almost 100 meters, which is considered a short and medium distance sniper!
If it exceeds 200 meters, the wind direction correction is also carried out!
The two golden sand rabbits squatted up and kept sniffing the smell in the air with their noses, which also confirmed the three elements that Lao Kui said before, don't leak the wind!!
Took a deep breath.
Wang Kui began to actively control and suppress his heart rate, even though the sand became hot from the direct sun, and his forehead kept sweating, he still did not twist in the slightest.
100 meters to hunt a 20-centimeter-sized hare.
It's already a high-precision hunt!
As we all know, the human body is circulating blood all the time, and when the blood flows to the finger that pulls the trigger, the finger will rise, and once the heart rate is too fast, this slight movement of the pulse repeatedly is enough to affect the shooting deviation and cause the target to be missed!
In order to shoot accurately, Wang Kui had to slow his heartbeat.
From the perspective of the drone, the chest of Lao Kui's upper body suddenly stopped moving, and suddenly, his abdomen began to swell and shrink!
Abdominal breathing!
If you can see through his internal organs at this time, you will find that his breathing rate has begun to drop from 18 beats per minute to 6 beats per minute, and his heart rate has quickly dropped to 84 beats per minute, so as to increase the interval between heartbeats!
A professional sniper who completes a heart rate drop in three minutes!
And Wang Kui only takes less than a minute!
This is the level of special grade!
Infrared perspective!
Open!
For the first time, Wang Kui looked at the perspective field of view through the rangefinder scope, and under the high-precision adjusted magnification, the bright red heart of the hare was as big as a fist!
The next second.
Waiting for the moment when his heart rebounded, he jerked the trigger!
Bangββ!
A roaring gunshot!
The fusiform-shaped warhead erupts from the muzzle of the 660-millimeter-long gun, slowly rotating in the air, distorting the surrounding air flow, like a high-speed drill bit, instantly piercing a distance of 100 meters.
And in the eyes of the hare in the distance.
The metal warhead became bigger and bigger, so that it didn't have time to react at all, the warhead hit the body, and the violent force instantly tore the flesh and skin, and directly pierced into the beating heart, stirring the hot blood inside, and finally flew out!
Burst!
Click!
The moment Wang Kui fired the gun, he immediately rotated the bolt upward, pulled back, pushed forward, and rotated downward.
Unlocking, shelling, rebounding, locking.
The four major steps of bolt-action rifles are completed almost instantaneously.
0.6 seconds!
As the shell window opened and closed, a copper-colored bullet shell was ejected, and it was written at close range of the 360 recorder, and the audience glimpsed the internal precision mechanical design through the opening of the shell window, just like the smooth skin looming under the girl's black silk, which is so sexy!
That's a firearm!
Top Violent Aesthetics!
Bangββ!
