Chapter 27: The Wilderness (02)
The area of this forest under the mountain is actually not large, not far ahead is the endless grassland and sparse trees mixed with the savanna, the natural environment of Africa is much better than that of other developed countries, although it is not a forbidden place for human beings, but it can also be said to be the best place for natural features, perhaps in this underdeveloped agricultural country there is basically no industrial pollution, clear skies and clean rivers, and some yellowed grasslands on all kinds of wild animals wander casually, Heavy Punch had the illusion that he didn't know how to position himself, and he should relax in it, but he couldn't forget his identity as a fugitive, and when the sun set, they had already walked out of the woods and appeared on the edge of the endless grassland, from this point of view, they could no longer see the government troops operating in the distance, but they also knew that danger was everywhere, whether it was a potential enemy or a male lion that haunted nearby, they could kill them.
They are more cautious when they walk through the waist-high weeds, carefully avoiding the range of those lions and leopards, even if they have a gun in their hands, they can ensure that they can get out of the way, the leopard's speed can give them a fatal blow before they shoot, not to mention that they will definitely be spotted by the government army when the gun goes off.
A government patrol car passed by from a distance, although a pickup truck could not carry many people, but it was not so easy to deal with, once it was discovered, more government troops would inevitably swarm in a short period of time, and that was certainly not a situation they were willing to face.
"Government forces are completing their deployment, and the area of control seems to be much larger than when we saw it from the top of the mountain." Si Yunfei held the binoculars and looked at them for a while and said, "We have to pass through the range of lions, elephants and rhinoceros, and we can only walk around their edges, and the government army will not pose any effective threat to us in a short period of time, of course, on the premise of not being discovered." ”
"Beasts are better than people." Punch the rifle safe, be prepared to deal with emergencies at any time, who can guarantee that there are no large carnivores squatting in the nearby grass, these things are quite fast, although shooting will expose themselves, but in extreme situations they have no other choice.
The two men cautiously pushed forward, and not long ago they saw several lions tearing at an antelope that had only been half eaten, and the male lion at the head raised his head and looked at them vigilantly, and watched them leave.
It soon got dark, the two took out the night vision device and put it on their heads, their vision became clear, they picked up their guns and carefully pushed forward, half an hour later they went around to the river, the muddy river water flowed quietly, occasionally there would be some big ripples, occasionally you could see the hippopotamus's head would poke out for ventilation, this thing is not something they can afford, don't look at this thing clumsy and stupid, but it is quite powerful to start crazy, the bite force of that big mouth is amazing, Running on land is not slow, with a massive body weighing several tons and long teeth that even crocodiles have to shy away, and it is said that hundreds of people are killed by hippos every year in Africa, so swimming across the river is not a good option.
In the distance, they can also see a large herd of wildebeest gathered by the river, this is the annual animal migration in Africa, tens of thousands of wild animals gather together like a lush area to move, this season of the African grassland is unusually active, millions of herbivores act together with a huge momentum, a large number of carnivores follow, to chase and intercept it, this is a road of escape paved with flesh and blood and sacrifice, every year countless people from all over the world come to see this spectacular scene, but no one dares to come in this country, No one wants to be involved in a war just to see the scenery, and the whole migration process has to cross several borders, and there are many options for those who want to see this scene, so there is no need to risk their lives to come here.
Although this group of wildebeest does not seem to be very many, it is negligible compared to the army of hundreds of thousands of wildebeests, but there are at least a few thousand, and the black pressure is impossible to see at a glance.
"It's a road that's destined to be difficult, and it's not so easy to get around it." Si Yunfei looked at the boundless wildebeest herd and said with a headache, he also knew very well what kind of danger he would face, when they were on the top of the mountain before, although they saw a large number of wildebeest moving, but they didn't expect that there were so many, this situation was indeed a bit difficult to deal with, although this was a group of herbivores, but it was also extremely aggressive, once they launched a madness, they couldn't avoid it at all.
"We have no other way to go, it's not realistic to cross the river, and the crocodiles below are definitely waiting for these wildebeest to cross the river." Heavy Punch knew that they had no way to avoid it, and that they had to make their way out of this chaotic grassland.
A large number of wildebeest are still congregate here, and the river is everywhere, with no end in sight, and it seems that this is the place they have chosen to cross the river.
The two of them carefully avoided these things, the crazy wildebeest is very aggressive, they don't want to find trouble, but it is not so easy to avoid, there are wild animals everywhere, not only wildebeests, but also a large number of antelopes, zebras and other animals, carnivorous hyena lions and leopards are also wandering around, looking for an opportunity to attack, for these predators this is definitely a carnival feast, and the two of them are simply negligible in the mix, They can be attacked from any direction at any time, and not only those predators, but even the docile-looking antelopes and zebras they cannot afford to provoke, and even a kick or a thrust by the horns can cause them great damage.
"What the fuck sucks......" The heavy punch was furious, he didn't expect this to be the case at all, before he knew it, they had been swept up in this big migration team, and it was not so easy to get out.
"You have to break through the sword mountain and the sea of fire, don't stop, get out as soon as possible." Si Yunfei also knows very well that their current situation can be described simply by two words.
In the confusion, the two of them could only dodge, and the beasts scurrying around here touched farther away, but before they knew it, several hyenas had already targeted them, and kept circling around them, looking for an opportunity to strike.
The hyena is known as the villain of the African savannah, with a fierce and cunning temperament, often hunting in groups, they dare to earn food in the mouths of lions, cooperate in hunting wildebeest antelopes, and hunt hundreds of kilograms of African bison, and the things targeted by these guys can hardly get out safely.
"Why are these animals keeping an eye on us?" Heavy fists and guns stared at a few hyenas walking around.
"Because we're the weakest of all things here." Si Yunfei raised his hand and fired a shot, in such a chaotic situation, the gunfire was almost not obvious, but it still frightened some nearby beasts into scattering and fleeing, and several hyenas were also frightened to flee, and the hyena that was hit by the bullet rolled on the ground a few times, and actually jumped up and ran out again, and he fell to the ground, and was instantly submerged by the disturbed beasts and trampled into meat paste.
"Try not to shoot and be careful of being discovered." Heavy Punch was worried that the gunfire would be heard by government forces.
"Let's get past this first." Si Yunfei said while staring at the nearby beasts, "I'm afraid it's hard for us to get out. ”
The two of them pushed forward back to back, walking in fear, and once they were caught up in the chaos of the herd, they were basically doomed to be trampled to death.
After the gunfire disturbed the herd, their vicinity suddenly opened up, and the two of them took the opportunity to move forward quickly, and the animals were far away, as if they were very afraid of them.
The two were walking, a hyena hiding in the grass suddenly jumped out and pounced on the heavy punch, the movement was extremely sensitive, and when the heavy punch found out, it was almost on the body, he reacted quickly enough, and hit the hyena on the head with a backhand, knocking it on the head.
The hyena fell into the grass and rolled and jumped up and ran away, his head was smashed out of a big hole with a heavy fist, and he kept bleeding out, this guy was about to go around in a circle and come back, suddenly a black shadow flashed in the grass next to him, and the next second the hyena was thrown to the ground, and after a fight, a leopard bit the hyena's neck and stood up and ran away.
Only then did the two realize that those wildebeest antelopes did not flee because they were afraid of them, it turned out that there was a greater danger here, and if this leopard was targeting them, it was estimated that the fate might be worse than that of this hyena.
For a while, the two of them were in danger, and they didn't care that the gunfire would reveal their position, and kept shooting at the animals that drove them away, not only the predators, but also some herds of wildebeest and antelope.
Everywhere are bitten herbivores, some have been eaten only bones, and some have only eaten a small part and most of it is discarded, and in this carnival the carnivores are not worried about finding something to eat, so it becomes quite "wasteful", and many times the prey that is not eaten is discarded.
The two of them trekked in it for more than an hour before they could be considered to have touched the edge of this great migration team, but after they arrived, they found that this was not an edge at all, but a place where wild beasts were relatively sparse, and this kind of place was also the most frequent infested by some carnivores, and those things would often lie in ambush in the nearby grass waiting for an opportunity to attack, and the lions were likely to wait for the prey to approach somewhere in the grass here, so it was extremely dangerous to walk in this kind of place, but they had no other choice, and the two of them were highly nervous, the nerves were almost tense to the limit, and they had to pass through this section of the area to be relatively safe, but at this moment, they saw several lights in the distance that were not very obvious, they were car lights, and it seemed that the convoy of government troops was coming this way......
