Chapter 360: Arrival
After more than two hours of turbulence, when the women's faces were so pale that they could no longer drink water, the group finally arrived near the border, setting up a private hunting ground next to the famous Kruger National Park. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The African savannah is home to an abundance of wildlife and is a hunting paradise for those who love to hunt. Whether it's a fierce lion, a hippopotamus that kills countless people, or the strongest elephant on land, the river overlord crocodile can only be reduced to prey in the face of human shotguns.
Since the colonization of Africa by European countries hundreds of years ago, all kinds of hunting have never stopped.
It's just that with the continuous improvement of civilization and the long-term outcry of public opinion, large-scale hunting has become history. However, the protection of wild animals has become the mainstream voice of the human world.
Politics for the sake of votes. The government has set up a number of protected areas to protect wildlife. However, the financial pressure on this simple investment is enormous, so there are proposals to set up private hunting grounds to sell at high prices, and to charge exorbitant annual fees to subsidize national parks and protected areas.
For ordinary people, such a thing as a private hunting ground is too far away, and its huge expenses are astronomical that ordinary people cannot afford in their lifetime. But for the rich in the world, this kind of thing is just like a private jet or a yacht, just the most common toy.
Although when renting a private hunting ground, it is strictly agreed in the contract that no killers are allowed to protect animals. However, in practice, because private hunting grounds are not open to the public, no one will really investigate if some important creatures are occasionally hunted.
After all, this world is a world where money is paramount, and laws and contracts are far less binding than ordinary people for the truly rich.
It is legal for the rich to hunt in their own hunting grounds, but it is a crime for the smugglers to hunt in the grasslands, and they are to be shot by the armed guards!
And, with the exception of some people who are really extremely keen on hunting, the vast majority of the rich buy private hunting grounds just out of fashion or because you have the mentality that I want to have too.
Most of their time is busy working or enjoying life, and the creatures in the hunting grounds are much more comfortable and abundant than those in the reserve.
Under normal circumstances, entering the hunting ground is to sign a life and death certificate, because there are fierce beasts inside. However, this is for those who are invited to hunt to avoid trouble. However, Xu Promise himself is the owner of this place, and he has no intention of being frightened by the signing of a life and death certificate.
"It's a zebra!" The women, who had turned pale because of the bumps along the way, were all very excited when they saw the herd of zebras swaying leisurely on the grassland on the side of the road, and the ostriches and antelopes that appeared from time to time not far away, and they couldn't see the drowsy appearance before.
"Hey." Looking at the women next to him excitedly opening the windows to feel the pristine and pure natural environment, looking at the many creatures in the distance that could only appear in the National Geographic Channel and excited, their faces flushed. The promise was also in a good mood. That's what he wants. People and places that can allow him to relax and not have to worry about all aspects of pressure.
The area of this game farm is large and it is directly bordered by the Kruger National Park. Because there is no pull on the grid, the wildlife on both sides can go back and forth. For these wild animals, they don't understand what the boundaries are set by humans.
Pavlyuchenko himself bought the hunting ground from someone else, and the previous owner built a sizable manor in the heart of the hunting ground to live in while hunting. In the absence of the owner, the armed guards and many staff members also lived here.
Entering the gate of the manor, under the guidance of the staff, the car slowly stopped in front of the main building of the manor.
It is a huge estate with a sprawling three-storey main building in the center, resembling an upscale hotel.
Around the main building, there are many buildings with only one floor of red bricks and gray tiles, which are the residences and work stations of the staff. There are not many trees around, but the most conspicuous thing is a large and lush tree in the small square in front of the main building.
The ground is very clean and concrete. A high iron fence was set up in the distance to keep the beasts out of the way.
Several burly black women dressed in traditional local costumes ran up, took Jessica and the others' luggage and led them towards the house. These are all things that James has arranged before.
He didn't even bother to ask about this hunting ground after promising it, and he was on the verge of forgetting about it. It's always been run by James remotely. When Promise offered to come and play, James got everything in place in a very short time.
A good housekeeper can indeed play a very effective supporting role.
After promising to get out of the car, he was about to say something to James who came up, when his expression suddenly changed, and the whole person went out like lightning and blocked directly in front of the women who were walking towards the main building.
Everyone looked at Promise in amazement, and before Jessica could ask, a cheetah with a yellowish coat and spots suddenly fell from the big tree in front of the door.
Xu Promise's eyes were slightly cold, and he clenched his fist and prepared to step forward and make the cheetah. The women behind them suddenly saw the living beast appear in front of them with their own eyes, and one by one the frightened flowers lost their faces and screamed.
"Sir! That's adopted! When Xu Promise was just about to rush over and pinch the cheetah's neck, James behind him had already hurriedly ran over, "That's adopted!" ”
The women cowered and hid behind the promise, their slender hands gripping the promise's clothes, and only then would they feel safe.
There was a promise to stand in front of them, they didn't scream, and a pair of bright eyes looked at the cheetah not far ahead, in addition to fear, there seemed to be a trace of joy in their eyes?
"What's going on?" Xu Promise turned his head to look at James who ran over, his face was very ugly.
"Sir, there are animals here that have lost their parents since they were young, and they are bound to die if they stay outside. So the staff occasionally takes in the cubs who are dying and raises them. Gasping for breath, James hurriedly explained, "This cheetah was adopted at birth and has always lived here. It's no longer wild, it's safe. ”
Promise narrowed his eyes and looked at the cheetah that was cowering and hiding on the ground, his eyes winceing at his grinning teeth and claws. Sure enough, I saw that the cheetah had an electronic collar around its neck, and the cheetah's gaze did not have the bloodthirsty wildness of wild animals.
Compared to humans, whose six senses have gradually degraded in the age of technology, even domestic wild animals still have strong instincts.
This large African cat, with an elegant body and long legs, can clearly feel the slightest murderous aura emanating from Promise's body. The feeling was far more terrifying than that of the lion kings on the grassland.
An African aunt with a dark complexion hurriedly ran over to appease the cheetah. Sensing the familiar aura, the cheetah hurriedly snuggled up and rubbed its head against the African aunt's leg. It looked the same as a domestic kitten, but it was much larger.
The staff around was also nervous. They knew that the man in front of them was the real boss and had the most powerful decision-making power in this hunting ground. They were worried that Promise would directly order the cheetah to be killed. After all, after raising it for so long, there are still feelings.
"Alright, pay attention. Wild animals, after all. Promise looked at the women who cowered and hid behind him, but their eyes flashed with curiosity.
The episode passed quickly, promising to escort the women into the main building. After assigning a room, they went back to their rooms to wash up and rest.
Africa is indeed poor to death, South Africa was originally a good developed country, and the economy is the strongest in Africa. It's just that, only after breaking apartheid and being put in power by black brothers, the original African star has now been reduced to the same extent, especially in terms of economy.
South Africa's economy has almost reached the same level as the entire African continent.
Originally, it was like this kind of tourist hotel, which was said to be a protected area, but in fact it was a wilderness, and it was generally decorated with similar equipment as a guest house. At most, you can add a wireless network to be considered a five-star hotel here.
However, it is a private hunting ground, a place for the rich to have fun. For the super-rich, let alone the grasslands of South Africa, even in Antarctica, they will not forget to enjoy life.
So, the architecture here is very beautiful, the floor is all smooth marble, paved with local cowhide zebra skin and other decorations, and the price is expensive.
The halls and corridors are filled with specimens of various hunted creatures, including some species that are forbidden to hunt.
The entire main building is lavishly decorated and elegantly arranged. In this wilderness, it is completely like a splendid palace.
When the plane arrived in South Africa, it was already in the afternoon, and after the transfer, it was more than two hours of off-road vehicle driving, and it was close to dusk. The best way to relieve the fatigue of a long trip is to take a hot bath.
Promised to be led by James to the spacious, palace-like master bedroom suite. After taking a look at the house's full of pure wood furniture and high-end local handicrafts, he immediately began to undress and take a shower. The humid and muggy climate is very uncomfortable.
To Xu Promise's surprise, the bathroom in such a place was not a common shower, but a huge high-end jacuzzi!
Look at the bathroom filled with all kinds of toiletries, and look at the wall mirrors all around you that are completely made of crystal. Knowing what these promises were for, he couldn't help but scold in a low voice: "Damn the local tyrant!" (To be continued.) )
