War Photographer's Notebook

Chapter 636
In the Free Province of South Africa, after Wei Ran successfully left Bufei Airport with the stewardess, the latter directly led him to a half-new khaki off-road vehicle, and then gave him a car key, "If you need to go back to Egypt, remember to bring the car back, otherwise you will have to pay an extra $[-]."

Nodding silently, Wei Ran simply got into the car after taking the car keys.Unlike China or Russia, South Africa's traffic habit of driving on the left also gave Wei Ran the opportunity to experience a right-hand drive car for the first time.

It is certain to say that you are not used to it, but after a little adaptation, it is not a problem as long as you drive slowly.As for the stewardess, she was naturally not interested in watching him practice. As soon as he took the car keys, she turned around and walked back to the airport.

Wei Ran also didn't waste too much time. After calling Soliman and hanging up immediately when the other party connected, he also drove the car and drove to Anfeiya with the help of navigation. the address of.

Now, Anfeya has not only returned to Kazan safely, but she even found out the general hunting range based on some news and photos posted by Columbus Bruno's lover's social account.

With this information, Wei Ran found a resort hotel in the wilderness that night.

This hotel is not too big, but the shape of the room is extraordinarily unique.There are only a dozen rooms suspended at a height of four or five meters above the ground like a tree house, surrounded by a barbed wire fence that is connected to the hunting tower and covered with vines. Inside the fence, there is even a Not a big helicopter.

And at a distance of only 600 meters from the hotel, there is a long and narrow water pool.Undoubtedly, as long as you climb up to those watchtower-like buildings, you can easily shoot the wild animals drinking water by the pool.

Of course, all of this comes from the photos in the hotel promotional poster that Anfeiya sent to Wei Ran.In fact, at this time Wei Ran was hiding in the shadow of a rocky mountain about three kilometers away from the hotel, waiting patiently for dark.

I have to admit that the hotel chose a good location. The terrain within three or four kilometers around it can be described as flat. Except for a few scattered trees, the terrain has no ups and downs. There is no doubt that this hotel is absolutely It is a great place to appreciate the wildlife of South Africa.

But correspondingly, this kind of terrain made it impossible for Wei Ran to approach at all, and even those wild animals lurking around the hotel that might be hunted at any time became like watchdogs to some extent.

Such terrain conditions, if you don't take the risk to touch it, even the anti-tank gun in the metal book can't work.

Moreover, the helicopter in the hotel promotional poster also made Wei Ran pay special attention to it. There is no doubt that once the target person who may be here takes that helicopter to leave, or even use that helicopter to chase him when he wants to do something , will be a tricky problem.

"It seems that the problem can only be solved outside the hotel, and it must be solved quickly"

As he waited patiently, time passed by every minute and every second. When the setting sun sank most of his body into the horizon, the field of vision also became lively.

In addition to the flying mosquitoes, the wild animals passing by from time to time outside the car window even gave Wei Ran the illusion of reliving the animal world.

"The only thing missing is a scene of migrating wildebeest being eaten by crocodiles in circles"

Just when Wei Ran was thinking about whether to say "how about the sunrise and sunset with the African savannah", a khaki off-road vehicle appeared in the distance, and behind this off-road vehicle was followed by a A hunting vehicle converted from a truck.

And in front of the front of the off-road vehicle, no more than a hundred meters away, there seemed to be a lion running desperately.

Seeing this, he immediately pushed open the car door, climbed to the top of the low mountain where he was hiding as fast as he could and raised the binoculars.

Almost at the same time he pointed the lens of the telescope at the lion, the faint sound of gunfire came from a distance.

But before he heard the gunshot, the strong lion had already rolled and fell to the ground.

Looking at the open-top off-road vehicle again, a woman was holding up a shotgun with a scope and cheering, and beside her, there was a man also wearing a hunting suit with a shotgun in his hand.

"Should it be them?"

Wei Ran muttered to himself, although the straight-line distance between the two sides was only one kilometer at most, but the people in that off-road vehicle wrapped themselves very tightly. The only thing he could do was, It's just that men and women are barely distinguished through body lines and contours.

Not in a hurry to shoot, he waited patiently for the woman and her prey to take a group photo, and watched helplessly as several accompanying staff carried the lion onto the hunting truck.

"There are four lion bearers, at least one in the cab of the hunting vehicle, and one in the off-road vehicle, so there are at least six entourages. But as long as we can solve these two vehicles, we can keep them all here, The rest is just a matter of time."

Wei Ran thought for a while, and then added to himself, "It is safe enough to extend the firefighting distance to one kilometer away. Wait and see which direction they will go hunting tomorrow!"

Thinking about the next arrangement, Wei Ran watched the two cars drive to the hotel that was faintly visible at the end of his line of sight, and then returned to the off-road vehicle in the shadow at the foot of the mountain.

After waiting for a while, Wei Ran drove the car away from the hiding place, went around in circles to the location where the lion was shot, and drove out following the clear ruts on the ground.

When the setting sun was completely blocked by the horizon and only the last ray of red glow remained on the horizon, Wei Ran, who had already driven the car for nearly ten kilometers, also stepped on the brakes beside a bustling pool of water.

At this time, many wild animals who were drinking water were watching his car vigilantly, some of them were cautious, and even ran away without hesitation.

And at the closest position to him, there are several lions eating around a strange looking animal carcass as if no one else was around.

But Wei Ran could see clearly that the fresh animal carcass had not only lost its head, but there was even an infrared camera fixed to the carcass on a tree next to it.

Not to mention, just under the tree, there is even a table and two chairs, and not far away, you can still see a few shiny bullet casings, and a pool surrounded by flies. blood.

"It looks like you're planning to come back tomorrow?"

Wei Ran, who didn't get out of the car at all, put away the binoculars, looked left and right, finally stepped on the accelerator again, bypassed the infrared camera, drove in a circle and hid behind a dense bush several hundred meters away.
