It was a phone call informing her to return to the CIA tomorrow, and she received a message from Congressman Will to stop a group of people who had secretly infiltrated the United States from trying to steal the "property" of Will's home, which was the CD.

A disc? Well, it looks like it's busy again.

At 11 p.m., Casey drove back to her home in the suburban town of Dover, feeling a little relieved after a long day.

The Victorian house has a dark green exterior with grey balustrades, shutters and trim – the house is located in the north-west of the city of Dover; If the time of year, the direction of the wind, and the way you recline on the rickety railing are all right at the same time

words, you can see the sea.

She walked into the narrow aisle, turned on the lights, and locked the door with her. Two dogs pounced on her and greeted her. Dylan is a black-brown German Shepherd, while Patch is a small, flat-haired retriever. A dog's name is in honor of the greatest writer of rock songs. Another dog is named in honor of a singer of western country songs that has not been seen in the last 100 years.

Casey went to the bedroom and checked her email, there were two new quest prompts, come back later, or let herself relax first.

The kitchen is spacious and equipped with amenities from different eras. She poured a glass of wine, searched for some leftovers, and chose half a turkey sandwich that had been in the fridge for an unknown amount of time and took it to the microwave to heat up.

She fed the two dogs food and let them go to the back of the house. Just as she was about to get back to her computer, she heard a commotion from them. The two dogs barked in a panic and rushed over. Sometimes squirrels or cats do this when they break in by mistake. But this is not usually the case at night. Casey put down her glass, tapped her fingers on the handle of her Glock pistol, and left

Go out and come to the observation deck of the house.

She gasped. Outside the house, a rattlesnake slowly wriggled on the lawn.

She pulled out her gun, held a flashlight, called the dog to her side, and swept the pillar of light towards the backyard. It's not a small place, but it's 50 feet square from the back of the house, and it's filled with ditch syrup, low houses, maples, asters, lupins, sweet potato vines, safflower grass, and all kinds of weeds. The plants that grow here are suitable for thriving in sandy soil and shady places.

When she ran past, the snake was gone, and she couldn't help but be annoyed, and now she had to get rid of the threat, she didn't want to be caught off guard by the rattlesnake in the middle of the night, or in the shower.

Rattlesnake as one of the main venomous snakes in the United States, has been plaguing the residents of this country, especially in the remote areas of towns, suburbs, wilderness and other areas, often can see this pale yellow snake with brown lines, because it is a cold-blooded animal, can not raise its own body temperature, so it can only rely on the power of the outside world, during the day cobra can rely on the way to bask in the sun to raise the temperature of its body surface, to gain vitality.

At night, these heat sources in homes across the United States are ideal for them, with light sources, refrigerators, shower rooms, microwave ovens, and even warm beds all targeted, and because the species is heat-sensitive, it can quickly find these places to warm itself.

However, in this way, its trespassing behavior has caused a lot of trouble to people, according to incomplete statistics, a considerable proportion of people bitten by snakes in the United States every year are the work of rattlesnakes.

Rattlesnakes are highly venomous, with blood-type snake venom and a few species being mixed. Immediately after being bitten, there is a severe stinging and burning sensation, such as the bite of a large insect, followed by fainting, which is only the initial symptom. Syncope lasts as little as a few minutes and as long as a few hours. After regaining consciousness, he felt that his body was aggravated, and the bite site was swollen and purple-black; The body temperature rises, hallucinations begin, and all objects in sight are the same color (mostly maroon or purple). The venom of rattlesnakes is different from the venom of other venomous snakes, and after its venom enters the human body, it produces an enzyme that causes human muscles to decay rapidly, destroys human nerve fibers, and can also cause brain death after entering the nervous system. One survivor recalled that cutting open his swollen arm revealed that the flesh of his entire arm was rotten, and that it was black and sticky, like a ripe and rotten peach.

Therefore, once you encounter a cobra in your own home, if you can't get rid of it in time, it will definitely have endless troubles, because of its thermal sensing ability, it can clearly perceive the surrounding heat sources and unconsciously move there, including the human body.

And over time, it will even make a home in a remote corner of the house, feed on house mice, and stay there for a long time without leaving. Due to its small size and easy concealment, it can be encountered in all inconspicuous corners, such as grass, trees, behind doors, behind wooden stairs, etc., and it is difficult to avoid them, and when you see it, it is often too late to hide.

It is precisely because of its unscrupulousness that many professional pollution control companies have come into being in the United States. Just a phone call away, the right person is on call, with a snake trap to help you.

However, for Casey, holding a large-caliber pistol in his hand is better than anything else, and the feeling of a direct headshot is the most enjoyable.

She stopped and moved slowly, her eyes on the path and the dog. The dog searched the yard, both keenly and vigilantly. Their movements and the hairs standing up on Dylan's neck were unsettling. She walked slowly into the corner of the yard, observing the movement and listening for the sound of crawling. After neither hearing nor seeing any movement, she shone her flashlight into the ground.

Finally it spotted the tail of a shivering rattlesnake in a bush, and it looked like it was dormant there, ready to open its jaws and bite at any creature that dared to approach it.

Helplessly, due to the shade of grass and trees, Casey could only see its exposed tail, and he couldn't see the exact position of its body at all, Casey originally wanted to find a clothes pole to poke and force the snake out, but after thinking about it, the snake's crawling speed is not slow, and the S-shaped movement trajectory will make it difficult for the bullet to hit it.

Forget it, shoot indiscriminately. Casey took out the magazine of the Glock pistol, pressed the top bullet with her hand, and found that it could not be resisted, and it was clear that the pistol was loaded with 20 rounds, which reassured her, she did not want to let the snake escape with injuries due to lack of ammunition
