……

The convoy left the shallow lake and drove into a grassy woodland.

But in East Africa, the concept of forests is also sparse, and a few trees far apart, except for the proximity to water sources and the lush green grass, this is still a flat land with no end in sight. The sun was high and the heat was unbearable, and on the way to the car, An Feng sat back and blew the air conditioner.

Following the guide's car, many wheel prints were found on the road, some new and some old, and everyone was talking on the radio, Darwin said that they had not taken this road recently, and the security guards of the reserve had not come, they were walking on the other side. In this way, there may be outsiders here, more than once.

Ten minutes later, the convoy stopped, and a rancid smell filled the air.

"It's an elephant!" Darwin, who was sitting in the guide car, made a discovery, "Come and see!" ”

Smelling the pungent stench, everyone pulled up their face towels to cover their noses, and when the convoy came to the place Darwin had mentioned, two huge black creatures had fallen to the ground, their flesh rotten, and a group of vultures pecking at the corpses in a disgusting manner.

"It was the poachers who did it!" Darwin concluded. Everyone looked at the elephant's corpse, its face had been cut off in half, the white tusks had long since disappeared, leaving only two huge corpses rotten and stinking, and the ground was all black with blood, and the scene was bloody.

"There are no beasts around, everyone can get off!" Bazel said.

Everyone got out of the car, covered their noses and came to the two elephant carcasses, Joanna frowned at this scene, Catherine followed her, looked at it carefully, and asked very puzzledly: "Why do you want to cut off its face?" And you can't anesthetize them, just take the tusks? ”

"Because of the structure of the elephant's skull, the roots of the tusks are buried deep under the eye sockets, and poachers usually cut off half of its face with saws and axes in order to get the most valuable intact tusks," Bazel explained to her. As for paralysis to take away ivory, that is not very valuable. ”

Darwin said to a black security guard in the team, "Go and report it to the Animal Protection Bureau." Let them send someone to investigate. ”

The black security guard returned to the car and began to contact the local protection department.

An Feng asked Darwin: "This is a private park, and poaching is so serious?" ”

Darwin shook his head: "No, this is the first case this year, there used to be security guards patrolling around, poachers or strangers were not allowed to come in, but the ivory business in Africa is very prosperous, including around Kenya and Tanzania, poachers are endless." The equipment is no worse than the army. ”

Bazel walked over and looked at the bullet marks on the elephant's body, and said very experiencedly: "If the other areas are strictly managed, they will find other places to start." Look at this elephant, there are more than a dozen bullet holes just visible to the naked eye, and it is almost certain that it was strafed with an assault rifle, which is very rampant! ”

Matthew walked back and said to everyone, "There are wheel prints around, and it's still fresh." It is estimated that it will be in three days, and there may be more nearby. ”

"God bless them!" Darwin frowned. "Shall we take a look at it again? Poachers are now smart and will take advantage of elephants' empathy. ”

"How?" An Feng asked.

Darwin glanced at him and explained: "African elephants have been observed to possess some human-like emotions and usually gather around the corpses of their deceased companions at night to remember them. And poachers take advantage of this. Waiting for the rabbit can also kill the prey without much effort. ”

"Then let's go and have a look!" An Feng said.

Everyone got into the car and followed the wheel prints found nearby. There are many clues on the road, and it is clear that the poachers have developed to the point where they have no scruples.

In the process of a dull pursuit, An Feng silently checked the gun, originally out hunting with a good mood. Unexpectedly, it was completely ruined by the scene created by the poachers, including him, and everyone lost the mood to hunt, and was replaced by a heaviness.

The convoy drove slowly, and a voice on the radio rang out: "There is the sound of a car starting nearby!" ”

"Catch up and have a look!" Bazel's voice came.

The spirit came, and the indignation turned into the impetus for pursuit, and the car accelerated forward, through the woods, to another freshwater lake, and just a few hundred meters in front of them were two cars, a pickup truck and an off-road vehicle. The pickup was left behind, constantly firing, but could not start.

When the other party saw the convoy appear, they looked at each other for a few seconds, and then panicked to carry things from the tow of the pickup truck to the off-road vehicle, there were about seven or eight people, wearing grass-green clothes, a bit like military uniforms, and carrying weapons on their backs, Bazel's voice came: "Let the security guard go ahead!" ”

After all, this is a poacher, and in this unregulated wild land of Africa, if you dare to kill fierce beasts, you will naturally dare to kill people.

The security car overtook them and drove forward, with a head poked out, shouting through a loudspeaker, speaking in the local language, which they didn't understand, but in a serious tone, it should have stopped them for inspection or something. The three cars following behind were full of speed, and An Feng involuntarily touched the gun.

Matthew reminded: "Attention! Stay away! ”

As soon as his words fell, when the security car caught up with him, the exchange of fire broke out very suddenly.

The crackling gunfire was like a firecracker during the Spring Festival, the front of the car was crooked, and it immediately stopped, and the sound of bullets hitting the window and echoing on the body of the car was heard, and the security guards on the car were startled, and did not dare to hide in the iron coffin, so they quickly jumped down, and also fired back at the other party.

Matthew, who reacted the fastest, shouted on the radio, "Get out of here!" ”

"Let's go!" An Feng slapped the stunned driver, they were only more than two hundred meters away from the poachers, and the bullets were not long-sighted, which was very dangerous.

The driver was slapped by An Feng, so he quickly turned around and followed the two cars in front, An Feng's nervous heart was lifted, and he turned his head to look out the window. The gunfire was not continuous, but a regular burst of fire, proving that these guys were not novices with guns, but should be veterans with some experience.

An Feng held his breath and heard a whooshing sound that cut through the air, accompanied by a glass breaking and a strange sound, and the driver snorted. Blood splashed on the car window, the person fell on the steering wheel and didn't move, An Feng blinked, and another bullet hit the front hood, "bang" with dazzling sparks.

An Feng's biological brain was already sluggish, but the machine brain made him instinctively reach out and touch the other side of the car door. Open it hard and push Joanna out of the way, shouting, "Don't look up!" He grabbed the sniper rifle and jumped out of the jaw, the windows crackling and shattering, and the stray bullets seemed to be overhead.

After the accelerator was released, the car finally stopped in front of them, and An Feng glanced around, it was extremely empty. He quickly pulled Joanna and ran to the car, but the position where the car stopped was very bad! It is facing the battlefield right on the side, and almost any bullet from the other side can hit them!

After Joanna fell out of the car, she heard the shout just as she wanted to get up, jumped down with An Feng, and pulled her to the position of the front engine. Don't believe what the movie is saying at this time, a car door can block bullets - assault rifle bullets are enough to give a car a refreshing piercing!

The only place where you can stop bullets is next to the engine.

An Feng pulled her into that position. She crouched down in front of the right front wheel and looked up at the two cars in front of her. Although they stopped, they were forty or fifty meters away, and there was no shelter outside, and the flying bullets swept the ground, splashing puffs of dust, and it was impossible to pass through.

The car's radio was heard shouting, "Are you alright? ”

"I'll cover for you!" Bazel's voice brings hope.

"Check your weapons! Cover fire! "Matthew is also methodical." The women all get out of the car and go to the front car! The man stayed! ”

At this dangerous moment, they did not choose to leave, both cars stopped, and Christina and her daughter Catherine in the back car ran to the front car in a panic. Bazel and Charlie, who were in the front car, rushed to support with guns. Following the sporadic sound of gunfire, they began to return fire.

An Feng felt his heart beat faster, his breathing was a little difficult, his hands were shaking, and even his face was a little bloody, as if it was the driver's ...... just now He took a deep breath, and he kept telling himself, you can't be afraid at this time, you are afraid of not only yourself, but also your wife!

Joanna shook him: "You're okay, are you?" ”

An Feng came back to his senses and held her: "I'm fine, what about you?" ”

"It's okay!" But the panic was completely written on her face, and there was fear in her eyes, but she gritted her teeth and told herself to be calm.

An Feng's heart ached: "It's okay, their target is not us-"

With a "bang", the bullet hit the hood above his head, laughing at An Feng's comfort...... Feeling that when the target was shot, Joanna couldn't help but scream.

And the trembling scream activated him, and the fear disappeared in that instant, only the voice echoed: "Don't worry! You'll be fine! I promise! ”

He picked up the gun, pushed the handle into the chamber, and pulled it into place to let the bullet be ready to fire. He sat on the right side of the front of the car and held the gun sideways.

There are two common positions for seated shooting, one is facing the enemy head-on, with the butt of the gun against the shoulder, which is very stable, but will expose most of the body. And An Feng took the second type, facing the enemy sideways, with his right arm against the butt, the barrel of the gun resting at the joint of his left hand, and turning his head to stare at the scope.

The scope was blurred, An Feng patiently readjusted the magnification, and according to the simple scale of the scope, he measured that the other party was about two hundred meters away from him, and several looming figures were clearly visible, and the flames and smoke that flashed frequently when the gun was fired exposed their positions.

An Feng aimed his crosshair at an area behind the grass where the bullet was sprayed, breathed smoothly and pulled the trigger, bang, and the aiming field of view flicked, when the crosshair returned to its original position, the grass covered the situation clearly, but the position was quiet, and then he pulled the handle again, and the bullet case jumped out of the chamber with hot air, and the tip of his nose was full of the smell of killing, but he was surprisingly calm and loaded the bullet.

The muzzle of the gun was aimed at the second gunman who was squatting next to the pickup and covering his accomplices, this guy was obviously frightened by the bullets that came silently, and his fingers pulled the trigger and never let go, An Feng aimed at his head and fired, but there was an error, his shoulder spurted blood, and the person fell backwards.

An Feng withdrew the bullet casing, the second person was enough to calibrate the trajectory for him, he loaded the third bullet and shot the guy who was holding the corn bag and was stunned to the bottom of the car. The world realm suddenly fell silent, and the other party panicked to find the direction where the bullet came from, and fear gradually took over their bodies and minds.

In the dreak, a guy appeared with a cat on his waist, he dragged his companions on the ground to retreat, An Feng gritted his teeth, he thanked them for their friendship, and the gift was a bullet that burned with rage, lifting his skull from behind, and the body that was missing half of his head took a few steps forward before falling.

When cornered, killing is as simple as breathing...... Even during the whole process, he didn't even breathe significantly changed, and after the poachers were scared by the snipers and the bullets swept away but couldn't scare the other party, he gave up the things behind the pickup and turned around and got into the off-road vehicle.

An Feng saw the car leave, and there was still the last bullet in the chamber, he leaned on the hood, aimed at the wide wheels of the off-road vehicle, held his breath, and pulled the trigger again, unable to see where the bullet hit, but the off-road vehicle in the scope was crooked and hit the tree.

The whole process took no more than three minutes, and the situation took a turn for the worse, and after the gunfire on the opposite side stopped, the two cars of Bazel and Matthew also chased after them, shooting the off-road vehicle on the opposite side to provide cover for them. After An Feng completed the entire shooting task, he let out a long sigh of relief, threw away the gun and pulled Joanna up, looking her up and down: "It's okay, right?" Do you feel any pain? ”

"I'm fine!" Joanna trembled and hugged him.

An Feng patted her on the back gently, his head was also blank, and he couldn't even recall the scene just now, mixed with fear and anger, as well as the desire to survive, between retreating and advancing, he gave himself the opportunity to stage a shooting that reversed the situation, and now when he thinks about it, he only feels tired.
