Chapter 66: Hunting (II)
Half an hour after the rain, the chariot descended the abandoned interstate highway and drove into a dirt road covered with muddy water, which, according to the map, should have entered the Great Basin National Park.
Luo Xu sat in the car and looked into the distance, under the gloomy dark clouds, the continuous forest of cedars, the rolling mountains one by one, and the small flat rivers surrounded by mountains, all of which were hidden in the drizzle and faint fog, only the top of the forest appeared at the top of the white mist. Far and near, there are green and verdant pine forests, deep and shallow, with clear layers.
This time the dirt road didn't last long, the drizzle gradually stopped, and a dilapidated villa in the dense forest in the distance caught Luo Xu's eye, and he hurriedly stopped the chariot and jumped out of the car.
"Smack......
The muddy water scattered and splashed under the impact of his boots, Luo Xu looked up, and saw that this dilapidated villa had obviously not been visited for a long time, overgrown with weeds, extremely dilapidated, and the wooden gate of the villa was even so rotten that it seemed to be able to be kicked and shattered, and Luo Xu, who saw it, sighed.
Two K500s got out of the back of the chariot and came behind Luo Xu to take on the responsibility of protection, and the three people and machines unceremoniously kicked the wooden door and walked into the uninhabited villa.
Damp and rotten, as soon as he entered the door, this strange and strange pungent smell came to his nose, and Luo Xu, who was choking, sneezed, "Sister, this ghost place is not a place for people." β
No one takes care of it, and it is in this mountainous area, the consequences of being uninhabited for decades will certainly not be clean and tidy, and the layout of the villa is no different from that of ordinary American villas, the rotten carpet and sofa in the living room, the moldy food in the kitchen, and the strange smell that is ubiquitous in the air, so that Luo Xu returned to the chariot without even having the courage to go upstairs after walking around.
The chariot continued on its way, and within a few minutes it reached a lake, where the clear blue water of the lake shuttled between the cracks in the rocks, and the lake changed from blue to green with the depth of the light, and the scenery was extremely beautiful with the endless mountain pine forests and spruce trees around the lake.
"Stop, stop it!"
The chariot stopped abruptly, Luo Xu's eyes shrank, and the pioneer one wearing it in front of him zoomed in on the scene a few hundred meters in front of him, and a brown bear actually crouched by the river to drink water. With a large, round head and a muscular body with high shoulders and back, this brown bear is very majestic.
"Hehe, so fat, are you preparing to hibernate?"
Luo Xu rubbed his hands and was excited, "I wonder if the legendary bear paw is really so delicious?" β
The virtual screen above the eyes shows that the drinking brown bear is 2.5 meters long, 1.4 meters tall at the shoulder, and weighs about 520-545 kilograms.
Brown bears have the surname of hibernation, which lasts from the end of October to March and April of the following year, so before hibernating, brown bears will eat close to 600 kilograms of berries and the rest of the food in order to raise themselves to be obese and survive the cold winter. So it's not surprising that this brown bear is so obese, it is estimated that it is preparing for hibernation, but it is a pity that it has met Luo Xu, a weak soul, and his life is about to be lost.
Taking out an antique sniper rifle from the car, setting up a bipod, Luo Xu's eyes were on the sight, and the figure of the brown bear in the distance was magnified.
"Hey, wait, don't go!"
Luo Xu was in a hurry, this was not aimed properly, the brown bear that drank water actually planned to leave, once it returned to the dense forest, the sniper rifle would be useless.
"Why is this bear child so stubborn? I don't know how its parents are educated, and they have to drink a few more sips of water, what is the matter of drinking such a sips or two? β
Luo Xu hated that iron could not become steel, so he hurriedly aimed at the head of the brown bear, snapped his index finger, the body of the gun shook back, and the shell of a 12.7mm bullet came out, and the head of the brown bear hundreds of meters away splattered with blood, and his body slammed into the ground, killing him on the spot!
"Hahaha, Lao Tzu really has a talent for hunting!"
Touching his sore shoulder, Luo Xu looked up to the sky and laughed ten times, beckoning K500 to walk towards the carcass of the brown bear in the distance. Along the way through a few rocks, I slowly came to the brown bear.
"Hey, bear child, tell you to run, you have the ability to grab water to drink, you have the ability to dodge bullets."
Stepping on the back of the brown bear, Luo Xu said contemptuously to the brown bear: "Just like you bear, you still dare to run away, and you don't look in the mirror what you look like a bear, hey, don't be unconvinced, you have the ability to get up and bite me?" Catch me? Get up! Hehe, don't dare, I know you don't dare! β
Triumphant, Luo Xu patted the chest of the K500 beside him, "Hey, stupid one, did you record my majestic and heroic posture just now?" What the? No? Are you stupid you! β
Luo Xu's mood deteriorated instantly, the majestic and heroic posture just now was not recorded, how did others know that he was a master of hunting?
But fortunately, there are bear's paws to eat, hehe, so happy!
Luo Xu laughed a few times, and then touched the back of his head suspiciously, "This, how to do bear paws?" β
Fortunately, the pioneer can also connect with the base through the chariot, and after checking the Internet, Luo Xu shrugged his head, "Why are there so many practices?" And it's so troublesome, I feel like I can't do it with my IQ. β
Forget it, move the bear back and let the real-world chef do the work. Convinced of this idea, Luo Xu ordered the bear to be moved back, and he sat on a black stone and lit a Chinese stick.
"Hey, there's a row of houses over there?"
On the opposite edge of the lake, a few wooden houses looked so inconspicuous that Luo Xu almost ignored the past.
"Well, it should be a camping in the forest, Lao Mei likes to do this......"
Walking around the lake towards the wooden houses, Luo Xu was not worried that another bear would run out, one bear's territory was hundreds of square kilometers, and since the bear was defeated, there would be no second bear here.
The wooden house didn't look far away, and it was nearly a kilometer away to walk around the lake, Luo Xu carried a sniper rifle on his back, a pistol stuck in his leg, and a K500 with an electromagnetic rifle behind him, and slowly came to the wooden house.
It had also been unvisited and uninhabited for years, and the rock-hewn bonfire in front of the hut was almost completely covered by weeds, and some of the broken machines were set aside. The most striking thing is that a BMW electric car is parked next to it alone, the paint on the body is not only peeling off, but even the license plate in front is rusty, and it is obvious that it has been completely scrapped under the ravages of time.
Spit out a puff of smoke, the cigarette butt in his hand was thrown on the ground and crushed with his foot, Luo Xu wandered around boredly, and did not find anything valuable. Also, what can be valuable in this shitty place, even if there is, more than 20 years will become waste.
"This place is so beautiful, why don't you just build a holiday villa here?"
Taking a deep breath of nature's fresh air, Luo Xu stretched out his arms and looked up at the sky, feeling extremely comfortable. In the modern city, every busy day, almost can not stop, for the life of the burden of too much pressure and troubles, how can it be better than now immersed in a dust-free quiet atmosphere, enjoy the drizzle of pure air and primitive nature.
So, for thousands of years, is it that human beings cannot do without the earth, or that the earth cannot do without human beings? In this time and space, civilized cities, towering buildings, and magnificent buildings are all moving away step by step, and after a few hundred years, the city will be covered by vines and woods, and after thousands of years, the traces of civilization will be gradually swept away, and after ten thousand years, everything created by human beings will dissipate with time. In the eyes of the universe, in just a moment, humanity has gone all the way.
Luo Xu suddenly felt a kind of fear, that is a sense of awe of time and life, life is only a hundred years, even if you are a great man, after you die, it is just a handful of dust, and in the eyes of future generations, it is just a photo of memories. Even as a human subject itself, hundreds of years, thousands of years, may disappear, and everything that happened in this parallel time and space is a proof of this.
"I don't want to die......"
"I don't want to die and not know anything, it's going to be a terrible feeling."
Luo Xu laughed self-deprecatingly, let go of the hand holding the sniper rifle, and looked at the red deer in the distance after drinking water and leaving, "Yes, no one wants to die, everyone has the right to live." β
"It's just that this world is a world of the jungle."
After a while of the morning breeze, Luo Xu snapped his fingers and walked towards the infantry fighting vehicle on the other side of the lake, and when he approached the chariot, he found that the dead bear was lying on all fours on the roof of the car, so imposing!
"Can this be made into a bearskin coat?"
Holding his chin and looking at the dead bear carefully, Luo Xu hesitated: "It's just that this color is not very good-looking, maybe it can be made into a specimen?" β
"Yes, specimens!" Luo Xu said excitedly: "In the living room, tsk, that's called a majestic one." β
With such a big harvest, Luo Xu's hunting activity seemed to be completed ahead of schedule, he happily took out a beach chair and an electromagnetic boiler from the car, placed the chairs on the edge of the lake, and turned on the switch of the electromagnetic boiler to boil hot water. Wait for the water to boil, brew a cup of steaming green tea, and take time to Erlang's legs to enjoy the beautiful day.
"This is life......
Taking a sip of green tea, the virtual screen in front of him flashed the information sent by Bob.
βxeservicesllcβ
"Blackwater International? Bob, have you found the North Carolina database? β
Luo Xu frowned, looked at the information and asked.
"Sir, the database personnel information has been copied, the total number of 21,587, according to the brush selection, the target number of 358, if you have no comments, give priority to the top 50."
Bob's cold tone ended, and rows of avatars and details appeared on the virtual screen.
Luo Xu flipped a few pages and took a deep breath, Blackwater International is really not simple, its headquarters database stores the data of 21,587 former special forces members, retired soldiers and retired intelligence law enforcement officers from 23 countries, including famous American seals and Delta veterans, German GSG9 anti-terrorism special forces personnel, French Foreign Legion and members of the National Gendarmerie Intervention Team, etc.
Not only that, Blackwater International's secretly registered subsidiary in Barbados, a small Caribbean country, has very suspicious personnel information in its database, and its recruited employees are mostly former special forces members and defense intelligence and law enforcement professionals, and private soldiers come from the Philippines, Chile, Nepal, Colombia, El Salvador, Honduras, Panama, Peru and other countries, including even soldiers of the Pinochet regime.
Although the salary of Blackwater's private security guards is now as high as $800, and some even as high as $1,200, it is clear that there are still a large number of retired soldiers waiting to be called, and these people are not necessarily so good, and Luo Xu values this very much.
"Bob, what's the takeover plan?"
"Vivek is recommended to be considered, with an estimated purchase price of $150 million."
"Why is it so cheap?"
Luo Xu was taken aback, and carefully examined the information sent by Bob immediately and learned that the US FDA decided to stop importing products from four pharmaceutical companies, Laborate, Vivek, Bafna and Elysiumpharmaofindia, because the antibiotics, treatment of acne and epilepsy and other diseases they produced and sold were adulterated with inferior products, resulting in their unqualified acceptance, and this series of actions caused the stock prices of these four pharmaceutical companies to plummet, especially Vivek, Consider the disposal of a pharmaceutical factory and a drug research and development centre under its name.
"Well, yes, let's recruit a few employees locally as well, preferably this month to complete the company formation and acquisition plans, and at the same time the reef plan is also underway, I hope to see a 'contractor force' in October."
