At noon on the 30th, after more than three hours of travel, the convoy crossed the Drakensian Mountains and arrived at the hunting grounds of Dean-Kitt's friends, which is next to the Kruger National Park, the largest wild nature reserve in South Africa. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

On the other side of the national park is Zimbabwe's Mozambique border, which covers about 20,000 square kilometers, and Zhang Nan's hunting grounds are also 1,500 square kilometers: elephants, lions, rhinoceros, antelopes, giraffes, wild buffalo, zebras, crocodiles, hippos, African leopards, cheetahs, wildebeests, impalas, and various birds......

They are all found in the hunting grounds, as well as the border with Mozambique.

Twenty or thirty kilometers away from the hunting grounds, Zhang Nan saw through the car window the unique and tall baobab trees in Africa on the grassland, as well as the hippopotamus in the river.

Needless to say, there are antelopes jumping out of the woods, and even a herd of giraffes passing by the road, and there is a gold mine on the side!

It's not a protected area or a hunting area, but it's so rich in wildlife that northern South Africa is truly a "wild place"!

This area can be said to be the private land of the rich of the Afrikan (Boer) group, which has been encircled by hundreds or hundreds of square kilometers, and if any of the rich man's friends are anxious to kill the giraffe before entering the friend's hunting ground, the gold mine owner may come to the hunting ground owner with a shotgun in a few days.

Seeking revenge?

No, the mine owner will say, "Hey, buddy, you owe me a giraffe." ”

The hunting owner will also disapproving and say: "I have a lot of them in the hunting ground, and I will ask for beer when I come back from work." ”

Well, the land hundreds of square kilometers near the mine is the private land of the mine owner, and the big deal is that he calls it a mining area, not a hunting ground.

Hunting here is a hobby of the bosses, there are no clear markings in the grasslands and forest areas, and the animals are lucky to run into the national parks, as for the mining areas or private hunting grounds, it depends on the mood of the rich.

Giraffes don't have any markings on their bodies, and they don't care where they go, but the owners of the land around them keep a standard and maintain a delicate balance of wildlife on their land.

In this way, the hunting grounds of the rich in this area are okay, and those animals do not have to worry about being shot at any time, because the hunting owners here have their own other main businesses to make money.

On the other side of the national park, 400 kilometres away, the animals are even more miserable – a large area of hunting grounds where the owners largely depend on the hunting grounds for their livelihood.

……

On a hillside more than 20 meters above the valley in the forest, a luxurious hunting camp appeared in front of everyone.

"Oh, Dean, your friend really knows how to play!"

The moment he saw the camp clearly, Zhang Nan had to express his admiration.

The camp was set up beyond Zhang Nan's original expectations: it was made up of several buildings that resembled the shacks of the indigenous Africans, but they were many times larger than the ones - the aboriginal shacks resembled tents, and only a dozen square meters were killed.

And the "shack" here is actually a reinforced concrete building, and when you get closer, you will find that it is two-storey, with windows and balconies, and there are also swimming pools!

The "shack" is connected by a primitive building that resembles a clan commune hall, but inside it is a primitive and rough indigenous cultural decoration with the most modern decorations, and this is a super five-star hunting camp!

There are special reception staff, but they are all black buddies who help everyone with their luggage.

"It's strange why this guy Paul didn't come to welcome us. ”

As he got out of the car, Dean Kitt nagged.

It's not Zhang Nan's bodyguard Paul, but Paul Kruger, the same name as the Boer boss 90 years ago, is said to be a little related, I don't know if it's true or not.

It is not surprising that Westerners' names are also common for grandchildren to use grandfather's.

I had already said hello, but it turned out that the owner was not there, which was very strange.

Regardless of whether the owner is there or not, Charlize Theron, who was tired of Zhang Nan on the way, was very happy, and looked curiously when he got off the car.

Children, come out and let off steam, happy, adults don't understand.

Dean approached the staff to ask about the situation, and chattered in Afrikaans, but Zhang Nan couldn't understand a word.

"Sally, let's go. ”

Calling the little girl who ran to the pool overlooking the primeval grassland, Zhang Nan felt that he had to settle down first, and then he had time to see the scenery - he felt that he had become a nanny, and Mrs. Kelly also asked for herself before coming out, and she was more relieved than her husband.

The scenery is spectacular, and it looks like a grassland, but in fact, it is a patch of woods and basically distributed along the river.

It belongs to the Limpopo River basin and is relatively rich in water resources: the north and south of this hunting ground alone have different landscapes, and the difference of more than a dozen kilometers is a different natural appearance.

Dense forests on one side and a savanna with towering baobab trees on the other.

When you enter the lobby, there is no front desk, but there is a bar.

This is a private hunting camp, and the hall is actually a place for friends to meet, which is the feeling of family.

In front of the sofa there is a lion-skin carpet on the floor, a few zebra skin rugs on the side, and specimens of antelope and buffalo heads hang on the walls.

Carnivores and herbivores are sad enough to stay together in harmony after death.

"Anan, it's a pity that the squad leader didn't come this time. ”

It was Guan Xingquan who spoke, he missed the tiger hunt in India last time, and this time he was able to hunt lions in Africa, but Xiang Weirong couldn't even catch up with this trip.

"Dean told me privately yesterday that we can take out 2 male lions in the wild lion pack this time, there is no limit to those wandering male lions, you can leave it to you as you like. ”

I am very generous.

This is a wild hunting ground, not free-range, it is best not to break the ecological balance here, this killing should also be conscious, don't make the whole hunting ground lack of male lions in a short time.

And with the exception of warthogs and other "indiscriminate" animals, the hunters generally only attack adult males, and do not shoot at young animals and females.

Zhang Nan kindly let him know that elephants, rhinos, and buffaloes can be beaten on this trip, but there is a saying that you must be conscious: when I was in Cape Town, I inquired that in those hunting grounds for profit, a male elephant costs 40,000 to 50,000 US dollars, a white rhinoceros starts at 80,000 yuan, a black rhinoceros starts at 100,000 yuan, and a lion costs 15,000 US dollars.....

There are clearly marked prices, let's be conscious.

However, Guan Xingquan didn't appreciate it, "I'm not interested, this is not called hunting, this is called target shooting, it's boring." ”

Well, on the way here, you can see far through the sparse woods, not to mention the savanna on the edge of the hunting grounds.

A single shot from a few hundred meters away can take down a rhinoceros, and there is no fun of hunting at all, and it is really not much different from shooting a target.

Hunting in China's hometown, for example, in Yan County, you have to go into the mountains, pass through the mountains and shrubs that are extremely difficult for people to walk, and then shoot down the first one or two hundred catties of wild boars, that is called hunting.

It's hard, it's hard, and then there's a reward.

Over here?

Guan Xingquan felt that he could only ......

Just now, those large African animals have probably been treating humans in the same way as carnivores, and they are only trotting a little bit away from the car about 200 meters, and some antelopes are still grazing even a few dozen meters away from the car, and they can calmly shoot when they pull out their pistols.

In Guan Xingquan's opinion, it is boring, especially for the equipment brought.

Yesterday at Dean Kitt's farm, Zhang Nan chose a Winchester shotgun with a 7.62 mm NATO bullet, not to mention the model, a five-round magazine, with a 6x optical sight, and good accuracy within 500 meters.

Dean Kitt's collection of guns was presumably a Boer tradition, with a sense of insecurity and the need for weapons to defend their homeland - both Alyosha and Linman opted for two semi-automatic FALs, early models and fixed-support mechanical sights.

Not to mention hunting, it's enough to fight.

The men all brought shotguns, most of which used the more powerful models of NATO rounds, with the exception of two shotguns: Guan Xingquan and Lin Ming's shotguns used a powerful 0.375-inch magnum bullet with a caliber of 9.53 mm, and it was absolutely fine to take down the head of the elephant with one shot.

And it's said that if you want to use something more powerful, there are also single-shot shotguns that use 0.458" (11.63 mm) Winchester-Magnum rounds, and if you use a soft-tipped bullet, you can blow off half of a white rhinoceros's head with a shot at a little closer!

Zhang Nan doesn't like big, heavy, heavy, and powerful perverted guys, it's enough to use NATO bombs, and it's not to deal with aliens.

……

Instead of discussing the question of whether to bring energy, the service staff took Zhang Nan to his own room - a small suite on the second floor of the "big shack", the bedroom has a large open floor-to-ceiling glass door, and there is a circle of balconies shared with the next room outside.

Large bed, in front of the bed there are two presumably indigenous-style solid wood chairs and a small coffee table, which can be placed on the balcony overlooking the wild Africa in the distance.

Opened the door and walked out onto the balcony, only to see Charlize Theron coming out of the glass door next door.

That Dean Kitt was relieved enough, so he put a little Lori with a model body next door to him, but fortunately he wasn't to blame Shu Huang.

"Charlie, aren't you cold?"

Zhang Nan glanced at the little girl who had changed her clothes, today she was originally wearing a set of outdoor casual sportswear, which would be wearing a pair of short tropical canvas pants, showing two long legs, a pair of sneakers on her feet, and a green short-sleeved shirt on her upper body.

It's going to be about 20 degrees Celsius, but if you dress like her, you probably get goosebumps when the wind blows.

Charlize Theron heard Zhang Nan's words, turned his head and said, "It's not cold." ”

Zhang Nan shook his head: Don't raise the bar with a little girl of this age, she is unreasonable.

But the figure is really good!

At this time, there was a knock on the door in the room, Zhang Nan went in to open the door, and found Dean with a somewhat serious expression and Guan Xingquan at the door.

Motioning for someone to come in, "Questions?"

"Mr. Allen, a bit of an unexpected situation. There are poachers in the vicinity of the hunting grounds. ”

Zhang Nan frowned and said, "Where did you come from?"

"Maybe it's from Mozambique, or it's poachers from our side, these people are dangerous and will do anything for money.

Last night, the rangers in the hunting grounds heard gunshots, and they had gone to the National Park Service to get some supplies, which would be convenient for them.

It turned out that someone was poaching rhinos, there were quite a few of them, and there was a firefight, and the camp guy injured one. ”

"How's the people?"

Zhang Nan has always been people-oriented.

"It's gone, and an arm is going to be amputated. ”

Zhang Nan thought about it for two seconds at high speed in his mind, and said, "How to deal with this situation in general?"

"Say hello to the cop and we'll do it ourselves. Unless we don't have enough manpower, the police will step in. I've sent someone to borrow someone from the gold mine, and I'll have people from my manor, and Brother Paul will send people to support me."

"Are the poachers still around?"

Zhang Nan is not familiar with this situation, he has never encountered it, and he didn't run away as soon as this poaching was discovered?

"It must be there for the time being!

I've asked people in the national park that they also had a white rhinoceros killed, and there is one in the hunting ground here, and the poachers won't stop like that.

According to previous experience, they either did not come, or they would poach at least five or six rhinos or elephants at a time, and Paul had already taken people to inspect them. ”

At this point, Dean said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Allen, I just came across this kind of thing. If you don't feel safe here, we can go to the hunting grounds on the west side right away, and we'll be there before dark. ”

"Haha," Zhang Nan laughed, "My dear friend, I'm not a coward, and I have the best bodyguard in the world." ”

Dean frowned: he had dealt with a lot of rich people, and those super-rich people were actually very brave to death - hunting beasts felt like warriors, and if they really encountered such a similar danger, they were probably faster than rabbits.

Moreover, the Chinese Dean has also dealt with them, and he feels that they have always been cautious and cautious, and will never put themselves in danger.

"Mr. Allen, Mr. Guan, this is not in the city, your bodyguard..."

Dean is on point, those American bodyguards should be good in the city, but this is Savage Africa!

Zhang Nan smiled and said, "My friends, Randy Gordon and Lynman Rollins were both seals for six or seven years, and they were still in the most elite seal detachment, and they just qualified to join my core bodyguard group this month.

I'm not just wearing a suit.

By the way, do you need to catch it alive?"

Navy SEALs, Dean has heard of it, the existence of, and such a guy is still the worst unit?!

Mr. Allen is the real awesome!

Dean had no choice but to say, "No, of course it would be best if I could keep one or two alive." ”

"Brother Guan, didn't you just say that you were bored, and you came with energy. ”

Guan Xingquan was expressionless, "Two things, Lin Ming and Panfeng stay in the camp, and you are the same." When we're done, you can go and see the excitement, and secondly, Mr. Dean, I just saw Soviet goods in the camp, and I want some. ”
