Super Ranch: Brothers come to Africa to farm

Chapter 490 The unlucky giraffe!

The so-called lightning fire, as the name suggests, is a fire caused by lightning strikes.

When Wang Lu heard the news, he couldn't laugh anymore and even frowned.

We are still at the tail end of the dry season, and the first rain of the rainy season has not yet fallen, but this thunderstorm came first.

After being exposed to the sun for a whole dry season, the entire pasture is basically similar to a large haystack, and it can be dried as long as there are a few sparks.

This is also the reason why Wang Lu strictly prohibits fireworks in the ranch. Even if the two old men secretly smoke, they must pay attention to fire prevention measures and carry a bottle of water with them to ensure that the cigarette butts are completely extinguished.

But despite all the calculations, this was not the case.

A thunderstorm, continuous lightning strikes directly caused thunder fires.

The previous fire in the Serengeti grassland left a deep impression on Wang Lu. Now it was his turn...

And the key point is that Wang Lu has nothing to do!

"Boss, I'll take my brothers over there. The fire has just started and it shouldn't be big. Just dig out the fire insulation tape before it starts burning!"

Old Wei ran over directly, followed by many veterans, and several pickup trucks were already preparing to start.

But Wang Lu organized them:
"No, it's too dangerous to operate in the open grassland during thunderstorms like this. You can't block it at the risk of human life!"

Wang Lu clearly knew how dangerous a thunderstorm of this magnitude was. Didn't he see that the forest was on fire?
If you want to dig a fire break, you have to be exposed in the open wilderness. The level of danger is too high. If any of his veterans are hit, Wang Lu doesn't want to see it!

"But if this fire starts, it won't be able to stop it!"

Old Wei said eagerly, his eyes constantly looking towards the place where the black smoke was rising from the grassland.

Wang Lu casually took out his phone and called the fire station in Baria Town. After briefly explaining the situation, he heard the other party say:
"King! It's not that we won't take action, it's a thunderstorm right now, it's too dangerous!"

"One thousand dollars per person, if you can't make it within 10 damn minutes, don't come!"

After saying this, Wang Lu hung up the phone. Wang Lu knew very well the urinary nature of these guys at the Baria Fire Station. Thunderstorms are too dangerous, and those are all excuses!

Sure enough, a few minutes after Wang Lu hung up the phone, a piercing siren sounded in the distance. After getting Wang Lu's generous reward last time, these guys were finally willing to purchase a warning light and loudspeaker. .

They pay for themselves and they work hard, which makes sense!

Taking advantage of this period of time, the veterans also controlled drones and ventured to the grassland to check. Anyway, they only lost one drone. Fortunately, they were lucky. The drone was not hit by the thunderstorm and went smoothly. The video captured the scene of the thunderstorm.

A bowl-sized tree was cut in half, and a fierce fire broke out. The fire had spread to several surrounding trees, but fortunately, the density of this forest was not too high, and the trees were even very sparse. Therefore, the fire did not spread quickly and is still at a completely controllable stage!

In the living area, the group of firefighters who had worked with them parked their cars in the living area. They insisted on getting money before they could work. Wang Lu naturally had no objection. If someone is working for him, he must get money first. , In fact, these gangsters didn’t take thunderstorms seriously at all. Even if they said it was dangerous, it was just an excuse for Wang Lu to raise the price.Based on Wang Lu's understanding of the locals, the temptation of a thousand dollars is much more important to them than their lives, not to mention that the probability of being hit by a thunderstorm does not seem to be high...

"Wish you guys good luck!"

Wang Lu didn't forget to send his blessings. If you really want to talk about it, the safety of the big truck at the Baria Town Fire Station is still much safer than the pickup truck at his own ranch in such thunderstorm weather!
"Our luck is very good! Don't worry, we will keep your ranch!"

The leading guy leaned against the car window, took the check signed by Wang Lu personally from the veteran's hand, and then headed straight to the area where the thunder and fire occurred.

But the luck of these guys seems to be really good. Not long after they set off, the intensity of the thunderstorm became much smaller. The damn thief God seemed to have vented his anger and gradually settled into a peaceful state. The thunder that connected heaven and earth never appeared again.

The fire trucks that arrived at the location of the thunderstorm began to extinguish the fire directly. A large amount of water sprayed out through the water cannon, gradually extinguishing the burning trees.

At this time, the fire area had exceeded thousands of square meters. Fortunately, after the fire trucks arrived, it was under control.

Even when the fire was half extinguished, rain began to fall from the sky. The first rain of the rainy season finally fell after a thunderstorm opened the way.

This group of firefighters easily earned Wang Lu's $[-] with little effort. When they came back, they even happily got out of the car in the rain and said hello to Wang Lu. It was obvious that they were very satisfied with today's work.

"Looks like my guys can have some fun, thanks for your generosity!"

The other party thanked Wang Lu with a look in his eyes and left the ranch. Wang Lu also laughed it off.

The remuneration of one thousand US dollars per person is just a drop in the bucket for Wang Lu. This way he can avoid the loss of the real core security force under his command, so why not do it.

Even if Wang Lu knew this was the case in advance, he would not choose to let Old Wei and the others deal with it. Who can say clearly about such a contingency?
After the first rain of the rainy season stopped, Wang Lu, accompanied by Old Wei and Parker, went to the location of the thunder fire, intending to take a look at the situation.

From a distance, Wang Lu saw the small forest that had been burned to pieces. Some trees had even been burned to charcoal, and the rainwater flowing on the ground around them was still smoky black.

"What are those two things?"

Wang Lu, who was still in the car, heard Old Wei beside him pointing at the two figures on the ground not far away and saying.

"Go and see!"

Wang Lu took a look. It looked like the corpse of some animal.

When we got to the place, we took a look, and sure enough, they were two giraffes. They looked like they had just died.

"Oh, these two unlucky guys were hit by a thunderstorm! It seems that boss, you were right not to let the guys take risks. This is too dangerous!"

Parker gave his own judgment as soon as he got out of the car. Wang Lu also raised his eyebrows when he heard this. Was he struck to death by lightning?
This can be regarded as Wang Lu facing the ruthlessness and power of the thunderstorm.
