Chapter 44: The Coyote Strikes
Shi Lei and Laura spent a leisurely day together, just watching TV, riding horses, and playing with their pets for a while.
Of course, it is indispensable to take Laura to the barn to sit on the swings that Shi Lei made himself, and fly a kite with a wooden whistle on the grass, these simple things brought different happiness to the two, and laughter sprinkled every corner they ran.
After sending Laura away, Shi Lei returned to the living room alone, the news was still playing on the TV, and Laura's body temperature was even on the sofa.
After cleaning up the mood of the brief separation, a piece of news attracted Shi Lei's attention. There is no way, this news is urgently inserted on many stations.
It may have been a camper's fire that inadvertently ignited a wildfire, and although the fire department has been trying to put it out, the fire still spread, even threatening Beverly Hills in Los Angeles, causing many celebrities to relocate their families in the hope that the fire will be extinguished soon. It is expected that the fire can be extinguished within three days, and it is hoped that the local people will pay attention to safety and not panic.
Shi Lei has seen it, after all, it is too far away, close to 150 kilometers, no matter how the fire spreads, it is impossible to burn to Santa Barbara, so the fire department will have to be complained about to close the door.
Boredom turned off the TV, Shi Lei went to the Internet to chat with his family and friends again. In the next step, Shi Lei plans to get some videos of his parkour to come out, on the one hand, to correct his movements, and on the other hand, of course, to get a wonderful action highlight in front of a group of buddies.
In the next few days, Shi Lei's fixed partner when he ran every day became a big white bear dog Bai Xue, which of course, attracted a lot of attention, and also made some beauties can't help but come up and rub a few times of white snow. After returning to the ranch, of course, it is indispensable to go out with a group of racehorses.
The problem of horse breeders is still not solved, and good horse breeders are comfortable in various professional horse farms, and they don't bother to come to Shi Lei, a place that is neither professional nor famous, to serve a few horses with uncertain futures.
And the less famous ones are still apprentices or waiting for opportunities in the big horse farms to learn things. So it's hard to find someone who meets the requirements. Shi Lei had no choice but to take care of the horses and train by himself while taking care of the horses.
In his free time, Shi Lei took his SLR and went to the venue he was familiar with to start the recording of parkour actions.
In the evening, I went back to the house to review my movements according to the video, constantly improving my skills, and at the same time picking out the wonderful movements first, and coming back to make a collection.
Shi Lei's pets are also busy and happy, and the 30 new dogs have officially taken up their posts, like the previous ten dogs, responsible for taking care of the livestock during the day, and will be scattered around the corrals at night, responsible for guarding work.
Of course, under Hanks's construction, a few dogs will stay in the stable every day, responsible for finding and driving wild animals with the cowboys who are left behind, and also act as guards for the cowboys.
On this day, Shi Lei finally edited the highlight video of parkour and added it with passionate music. Then I uploaded the video to a few classmates, and after receiving a lot of admiration, ridicule and contempt, I fell asleep satisfied.
Shi Lei, who was sleeping sweetly, was once again awakened by the sound of dogs barking in patches. However, this time, Shi Lei did not rush out as he did last time, but first went to the side room to load the two pistols and a few spare magazines, inserted the knife into the K sheath and hung it on his waist, and finally put a dragon scale armor body armor on his body.
This dragon scale armor body armor is still Shi Lei saw from the video when he was in China, not only can withstand the multiple shots of the steel core armor-piercing bullet, but also can face the zero-distance attack of the US military grenade without being penetrated, and the protection ability of the version using ceramic anti-shrapnel has reached the four-level protection standard of the US military.
Unless it is a 50-caliber mass killing weapon, common automatic weapons are helpless against it, and Shi Lei obviously will not buy a titanium alloy three-level protection standard version in order to save thousands of dollars.
When Shi Lei came to the downstairs of the main house in full gear, several pets were already vigilant in front of the door. Hanks, on the other hand, waited in front of the door of the main house with Gonzalez on his shoulder.
"Hanks, what's going on? Is there another cougar attacking livestock? Shi Lei asked.
"No, this time it should be coyotes, I heard their howls, it should be a large pack of coyotes." Hanks replied with a slight hesitation.
"What's wrong? You seem to be confused? Shi Lei asked as he and Hanks hurried towards the place where the dogs had gathered. And Shi Lei's pets were also on guard around the three of them.
"Yes. Generally speaking, coyotes do not attack in large groups, but are more likely to attack alone, unless they are protecting their territory, and coyotes of the same group will be summoned together. There must be something that caused this massive attack on them. Hanks replied.
"It may be that the recent wildfires in Los Angeles have driven a lot of coyotes over, and livestock on the ranch is a big target." Shi Lei said.
With that, they had come to the corral where the accident had occurred. The scene in front of him made Shi Lei's scalp tingle.
Dozens of dogs in the ranch were confronting a group of creatures opposite, and dozens of pairs of green eyes on the opposite side were staring at the dogs on the opposite side like ghost fires.
"In addition to these, will there be someone in charge of the sneak attack?" Shi Lei asked with some concern. All canines are known for their ferocity and cunning when hunting.
"Probably gone, they're being surrounded by dogs from all directions of the ranch." Hanks affirmed.
"On the side of the worker's house, have you sent a few cowboys to guard it, just in case?" Shi Lei asked.
"Garcia, they are all guarding with guns, Garcia used to be a hunter, so don't worry about threatening them, and they all have dogs on a leash." Hanks reassured.
Every night, Hanks arranges for a few dogs to guard the situation at the workers' house to prevent wild animals from sneaking in and posing a threat to the cowboys' safety.
"What to do with these coyotes? Let the cowboys kill them all? Shi Lei asked. In fact, Shi Lei is mainly worried that if these canines are very vindictive, if they run away, the ranch will not be able to live in peace in the future.
"We haven't gotten permission to hunt them, especially now that the situation is under control. But they're vengeful animals, and the ranch dogs have already killed a few of their kind. Hanks said hesitantly
"Then let the dogs kill them all, and if anyone escapes the net, use the gun, and don't let them have a chance to go back to the ranch to make trouble, otherwise the ranch will not be peaceful in the future." Shi Lei said resolutely.
Ranch is the foundation of Shi Lei, and the future development must have this as the foundation, so there can be no hidden dangers.
After deciding, Shi Lei gave the order to attack the dogs. And several of Shi Lei's pets were the first to rush out and attack.
The cougar hairball jumped on a coyote with a big jump, and then bit the opponent's neck without hesitation, and bit off the opponent's neck very lightly, which also became the signal for the start of the attack, and the battle between the dogs and the coyote broke out.
After easily killing the first coyote, the furball slapped the coyote on the waist of the next coyote with one paw, and folded the coyote almost in half, and the dead could not die again. As the saying goes, wolves are all copper-headed, iron-bone, tofu waists, and a blow with the power of a tiger's claw hits the most vulnerable point, and the result can be imagined.
A coyote wanted to jump on the back of the furball to launch a sneak attack, but as soon as it jumped into the air, it was swept to the waist by the furball's long tail and flew away with a howl.
The three strongest attacks of a tiger are the bite of the mouth, the pounce of the claw and the tail of the tiger, which is said to crack the hard skull of a cow. And now the hairball with the power of a lion and tiger has the effect of this blow is of course amazing.
The hairball in the coyote pack is really a wolf in one step, leaving no trace for thousands of miles, it is a bit of a leisurely stroll, and the one that kills is called a comfortable one.
And Shi Lei's four pet dogs also had rich results, and each of them killed several enemies. Especially Bai Xue and Di Ting, both dogs have strong bodies, and they are also wearing custom Kevlar full-body protective suits, and the fight is purely the feeling of adults bullying children.
Although these North American coyotes look like wolves, they are much smaller than wolves, and their advantage is that they are fast and more like jackals in attack.
And the dogs on the ranch are also very good at fighting. They are no less agile than coyotes, far superior in strength and defense, especially when fighting canines, where the deadliest neck is protected by a custom Kevlar wide collar and some metal spikes that make it difficult for opponents to swallow. So the outcome of the battle was one-sided.
Soon, the battlefield fell silent, presenting an extremely bloody picture. The only ones who can stand are the dogs of the ranch and Shi Lei's pets. Occasionally, injured dogs whimpered and licked their wounds, while the coyotes were left with only a few undead individuals struggling to die, but they all quickly collapsed into silence.
Seeing all kinds of bloody and incomplete corpses, Shi Lei frowned a little uncomfortably, but the cowboys on the side did not feel uncomfortable about this, but were very happy to discuss which dog's table was better, and which dog's battle was more exciting.
Of course, they all praised Shi Lei without exception, one is that Shi Lei's pets are the most eye-catching, and the other is that Shi Lei can discern pearls and find so many powerful dogs.
The cleaning of the battlefield was all handed over to the cowboys with Shi Lei's consent, and they were free to dispose of the corpses of these coyotes. According to Hanks, most of them keep the coyote skin, which can be sold for money, to make themselves something like a wallet, or just to keep a memory.
And Shi Lei just silently brought back a few of his pets. As for the feelings caused by this bloody battle, he can wait until tomorrow to slowly reminisce, because he recorded the whole battle process, and he can edit it when he comes back, which is another good material.
