Chapter 38: Wolves
It's not unusual to encounter these canine wolves in the forest, and even if there are no alpacas, this expedition will also be attacked by canine wolves after entering the canine wolf's territory.
Lu Tianyu's calmness made Danny very satisfied, and did not become panicked because of the appearance of a group of canine wolves, Danny patted himself on the shoulder and said: "There is an M100A sniper rifle there, 20 rounds at a time, small recoil, maximum shooting distance of 1500 meters, effective range of 800 meters, equipped with night vision infrared goggles, can be equipped with a silencer, can be used to practice shooting skills when on duty in the middle of the night." ”
Danny didn't see the canine wolf as a threat either. After saying that, he took a few skewers of grilled mutton skewers and left, and when he left, he didn't forget to praise that his roasted mutton was much better than himself.
Ivan heard Danny's words just now, and leaned over to his side and said, "Danny is not at ease, you have to be careful", Ivan put a bow and crossbow in his hand and continued: "This is a bow and crossbow used by the locals, don't look down on these primitive weapons, this is the equipment that can save your life in the forest." ”
Ivan introduced himself to the performance of the local bow and crossbow, the bow arm of aluminum alloy, the high elasticity composite bowstring, not afraid of water, the bow arm can be folded, and the weight is only one kilogram. Only with the ratchet force transmission mechanism, with the minimum force can pull the bowstring, the bow will not be tired fifty or sixty times in a row, the use of carbon fiber arrows, the effective killing distance of 120 meters, simple operation, easy to use and carry, is the best weapon for jungle hunting.
The key to this kind of bow and crossbow is that you don't need to learn, you can get started very quickly, aim at the target, move the crossbow machine, and the hit rate is extremely high, except for the fighting eye. The development of the bow and crossbow has reached the technical limit now, except for the addition of explosive devices and aiming equipment on the arrows, Lu Tianyu really can't think of anything else that needs to be improved in this bow and crossbow, but looking at Ivan, it looks like an arms dealer selling weapons.
"I'll give you this crossbow, believe me, it's better than a gun in the forest," Ivan said sincerely.
Lu Tianyu believed what Ivan said, fighting in the jungle, although the guns were powerful, they were subject to all kinds of constraints. First of all, ammunition is a problem, and secondly, the sound of guns and the light of fire are all targets for enemy attacks. Bows and crossbows are different, the arrows are very simple to use, and the sound is very low when fired, especially in harsh environments such as dark nights, swamps and rainforests, and the advantages of bows and crossbows can often be maximized.
Talking to Ivan, James and Keno found themselves with the Border Rods and built a defensive network around the camp. The border defense rod is actually a three-meter-long metal column, which is usually only half a meter long, and it can be pulled out when used. Once activated, the two adjacent border rods will create a powerful power grid, and once any creature touches the grid, the voltage of 30,000 volts will electrocute any invading enemy.
Because the expedition team was backed by a cliff, they only needed to erect border defense sticks on three sides, and it was impossible for even a fly to fly across the grid. Although the border defense rod is good, but it is not durable, in the field without energy replenishment, an energy rod can only be used for a week under normal conditions, if it is in the event of a large-scale attack, I am afraid that it will not be used for even a few hours, so it will only be used in a crisis, and now it is.
After setting up the border defense rod, he slept in the tent, and in the middle of the night, James woke himself up, while Ivan was still dreaming.
Looking at the starry sky, Lu Tianyu rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked, "But what's the situation, has the dog and wolf left?" ”
James handed the night vision goggles in his hand and said: "There are more and more dog wolves, just now a few dog wolves rushed over to test it, and were electrocuted by the defense net, and the other dog wolves still refuse to leave, you have to be careful at night", after speaking, James returned to his tent, as if the dog wolves around him did not exist at all, and the dog wolves and Lu Tianyu did not take it to heart.
Since James didn't worry about the canine wolf, there was no need to worry about it, the border defense stick was very stable and reliable, and there was no way for low-level creatures to get close to it.
Lu Tianyu was very sleepy, he was pulled up to duty in the middle of the night, and he was dizzy, and he couldn't lift up a trace of energy. On duty were two other local guards, but they could not be counted on, and after a turn, they were already asleep by the fire with their crossbows in their arms.
Turn on the cylindrical carrying computer, pull out the film screen with a trace of moisture, gently wipe it off with your hand, adjust the angle to find the satellite signal. Every few days, I have to send a message of peace to my family, but the message has not been sent out because of heavy rain a few days ago.
"Damn the computer", the more sophisticated the instrument, the more it cannot be used normally in bad weather, and the computer went on strike because of the humidity a few days ago.
Well, now the computer screen finally shows a signal that has been connected to the satellite, a few greetings, a few pictures of the landscape, so that the loved ones no longer worry about themselves. Mother asked about her current situation in the message mail, father asked when she would be able to end the investigation, sister hoped that she would arrive in Europe as soon as possible, and Lu Tianyu's heart had already flown to the side of his relatives.
"OH ......", the terrible wolf howl sounded in the wilderness, which made people feel creepy.
Wolves howl at night in order to howl each other and swarm, such as the female wolf often makes a cry to call the young wolf, and the male wolf calls the female wolf, and goes out to hunt after gathering into a pack. During the breeding season, wolves also tend to howl in search of mates, and young wolves make shrill howls when they are hungry.
On clear and starry nights, it is common to hear the howl of wolves thousands of meters away. Sometimes it's the whole pack howling together, sometimes it's a wolf howling alone. On a desolate hillside, a wolf howls with its head up, and it looks like it is wailing at the moon because of its isolation. Of course, this is just a romantic imagination of humans, and the wolf howls at night out of purely practical necessity--- not to call for companions, exchange information, or to drive strange wolves out of their territory.
Whether the wolf howl can scare other animals away, or establish the authority of the head wolf, these are not clear to him, but Lu Tianyu now knows that there are more and more canine wolves around. From twenty or thirty at the beginning, it has become a pack of nearly 100 wolves, and the number is still increasing.
These canine wolves are clever and don't get close to the border defense sticks, but keep wandering around, hoping to find a hole in the defensive net. To the great disappointment of the canine wolf, the camp surrounded by the border defense stick was completely invulnerable, the canine wolf was unwilling to wander around, and there were a few dark green bright spots in the darkness, and he knew that the canine wolf was ready to attack without night vision goggles.
Lu Tianyu was not worried about the dog wolf attacking, unless they wanted to find death, he would not object.
Obviously, he seemed to have underestimated the intelligence of these low-level creatures, and the expected large-scale attack did not happen, and several emaciated canine wolves slowly approached the border defense sticks, carefully moving forward with their saliva low, as if they were testing something.
Lu Tianyu felt funny, no matter how these canine wolves tried it, as long as they entered the border defense rod, there was only the possibility of being shocked.
It was a few canine wolves that had lost their hair, the luster of the hair determined the status of the canine wolf in the group, and the canine wolf with a lower status was cannon fodder, and a few canine wolves cautiously moved forward, perhaps in the minds of these canine wolves, those border defense rods that flashed with colorful light patterns were not terrible, only the sudden sparks were the most deadly.
The dehaired canine wolf did not rush to approach the border defense stick, and stopped a few steps closer to a dead canine wolf, sniffing the dangerous smell in the air with his nose, as if waiting for something.
A wolf howl came from a distance, and several hairless canine wolves reluctantly moved their steps and continued to approach the border defense sticks.
"Three meters, two meters, one meter ......", a canine wolf just put its head into the detection range, the green pillar of light of the border defense rod suddenly turned red, and a white lightning bolt shot out from the top of the border defense rod and hit the skull of the canine wolf, with a scream of the canine wolf, a scorched smell filled the air, and the other canine wolves looked at the convulsive canine wolves on the ground in fear.
Calm had returned to the surroundings as if nothing had happened, the color of the border defense rods had changed from red to calm green, and the only sound of the wind blowing the leaves could be heard in the valley.
Several canine wolves were still reluctant to leave, and continued to roam the periphery, a little greedy light flashing in the darkness.
"Nasty dog wolf", Lu Tianyu picked up the bow and crossbow in his hand, aimed at the light in the dark, pulled the crossbow machine, and with a "whoosh", the arrow flew towards the light. A miserable scream sounded in the valley, and a dog wolf ran into the woods with arrows and disappeared without a trace, "did not hit", Lu Tianyu put the bowstring back on, pressed the arrow and continued to look for the target of the attack.
The surrounding canine wolves disappeared, Lu Tianyu stood up and inspected the campsite, and found no canine wolves approaching the border defense stick, "Could it be that these canine wolves just gave up?" With doubts, he returned to the fire and continued to turn on the computer to record the situation in the past few days.
Two local guards next to the fire, dozing off with crossbows, and an alloy kettle with coffee brewing in the kettle hanging from the fire. Lu Tianyu picked up the branch and stirred the fire, lifted the kettle and poured himself a cup of hot coffee, poured a packet of frosting into the teacup, stirred it slowly, and a sip of bitter coffee dispelled the strong sleepiness.
Lu Tianyu can't pretend to be on duty at night like a local guard, although he knows that the dog wolf will not break through the defensive net, but it is always right to be careful. Lu Tianyu put away his mind, sat on the ground relaxed, crossed his hands and legs upward, looked at his nose and mouth, and slowly swam from the dantian to the whole body. When he was 16 years old, Lu Tianyu broke through the first center of gravity method, but the second center of gravity method was never able to break through, however, Lu Tianyu did not regard the five hearts as a profound martial arts, and insisted on exercising with the idea of being beneficial and harmless.
"Rustle", a pinch of dust fell from the sky and fell on Lu Tianyu's face.
"Damn", Lu Tianyu cursed, slowly raised his head, looked at the rock wall above his head, and felt uneasy like a strong electric current passing through Lu Tianyu's body.
"Not good", the guard who kicked his body awake and shouted at the surroundings: "Be careful, the dog wolf is coming from the top of the cliff, hurry up, get ready to fight", Lu Tianyu dropped the bow and crossbow in his hand, picked up the MX100 rifle next to him, and fired at the top of the cliff.
His own warning was still a step too late, and seeing the sand and gravel and soil falling from the top of the cliff, one or two 、......, accompanied by a long roar, countless dogs and wolves appeared on the top of the cliff and slid down with the cliff wall.
