The Wolf of Los Angeles.

In the moving Land Rover Defender convertible, Erica took out a piece of dried meat and handed it to the cheetah Shana. The cheetah swallowed the meat and made a sound like a kitten.

Hawke reached out and rubbed Cheetah's head.

Erica stretched out her finger tentatively: "Can I touch its nose?"

Onard, the hunting guide sitting on the passenger seat, said: "It is very friendly to humans and often runs into the sightseeing car to play with people. You can give it a try."

Erica's fingers gently touched Shana's nose, which was wet and soft.

Such a big cat can melt people's hearts, and she couldn't help asking: "Can I take it away?"

"It's an IUCN vulnerable species, so it's very difficult to take it away," said Onard.

Erica nodded slightly and continued to feed the cheetah without saying anything more.

Onard was stunned. This woman doesn't play by the rules. I told you it's difficult. Shouldn't she spend money next?
The car was shaking violently and the cheetah lay on the ground, seemingly about to fall asleep.

The prairie is not flat. From time to time you can see connected mounds and sparse woods.

The car in front slowed down as we approached a hillock and forest.

Onard said, "We are close to the habitat of a leopard."

Hawke grabbed Cheetah's head and rubbed it wildly, saying, "Wake up, Shana, it's time to go to work! Wake up, it's time to go to work, don't sleep any more!"

The cheetah opened its eyes, raised its body, looked at the woods ahead, let out a cry, jumped out of the car, turned around and ran back.

This thing can easily give people an illusion, as if it can't even be beaten by an iron pot stew.

A group of people stopped their cars, turned off the lights, and got out of the cars, spreading out in all directions.

Onard said to Hawke: "Leopards usually hide in trees and are very ferocious. To avoid accidents, let's set a trap and see if we can lure it out."

Hawke and Erica had no experience in hunting leopards, so they followed the guide’s advice: “Okay.”

Onard waved: "Let's walk forward."

Erica put on the M700 shotgun and checked her equipment.

Hawke took out the insect repellent spray from his bag and sprayed it on her. He then took out a bottle of wind oil and rubbed it on her forehead: "Refresh yourself."

After a few breaths, Erica felt a cool sensation flowing from her head, and her spirits were lifted.

Hawke did the same thing to himself, put on the AKM, checked his pistol and hunting knife, and followed.

He walked past Edward, picked up the glass bottle and shook it: "Do you want to use it?"

"I have it." Edward, who was carrying a shotgun, took out a similar bottle from his pocket and followed Hawke, saying, "This thing is very useful when you use it when you are doing things."

Hawke turned his head and looked at him: "You really used it."

Edward smiled with two rows of white teeth.

One of the four black guides walking in front suddenly stopped at a low point on the dirt road, parted the withered grass, took out a ball of dried poop, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, and said, "It should be from yesterday. The leopard is still active in this area."

Onard turned around and said to Hawke: "We are lucky, it is still here."

The two guides lifted up a bag they were dragging and pointed to the thickest acacia tree at the edge of the woods. They said, "Set the trap over there. Choose a suitable place."

The wind was very light today, barely noticeable. Onard grabbed a handful of soil, tested the wind direction, made a gesture, and walked first behind the carter tree bushes not far away.

This place is downwind and the bushes are good for hiding.

Hawke took off his gun and stood behind the bushes.

At this time, Erica came from behind, stretched out the long barrel of the M700, picked up a snake from the bushes, and threw it far away.

Onard was beating another bush with a stick and said, "This is Africa, be careful of snakes and insects."

Raul and the other two started checking at this time.

At the outermost edge, Bosk and his men were on guard not too far away.

As Onard whipped, another snake emerged from the bushes and slithered away into the distance.

Erica slightly adjusted the scope on the M700 according to the wind direction.

The Hawk AKM was not that troublesome, he had already calibrated the gun and could just shoot with the machine aim.

Edward picked up the telescope, looked at the trap, and said, "They tied one of the pheasant's feet to a tree, and bled it. Now they are heading back."

The two sides were only a hundred meters apart, so Hawke could see clearly and made a gesture to Edward to keep quiet.

Hawke lowered his gun and stared at the trap.

The pheasant kept calling out after being injured, and the sound could be heard over here.

The two guides came back and also hid behind the bushes.

After waiting for a while, Hawke noticed the movement and gestured to Erica.

Erica raised the gun and put it down again.

At the edge of the sparse woods, a Pumbaa appeared, with a weird, non-mainstream hairstyle.

Our target this afternoon is carnivorous beasts such as leopards, so forget about Peng Peng.

The pheasant's call attracted the curious Peng Peng, who took a look and quickly ran away.

The roar and the smell of blood spread, but failed to attract the working leopard, but attracted the hyena boss.

Four spotted hyenas followed the scent and found the pheasant.

When boss Hyena arrives, working Leopard will definitely be absent.

Erica immediately spotted the female hyena and gestured to Hawke.

The two men cooperated well, and Hawk raised his gun and aimed forward.

Just as Erica locked onto the female hyena through the scope and pulled the trigger, Hawk also pulled the trigger of the AKM.

boom!
Da da da--

The sounds of shotgun and AKM short bursts rang out simultaneously, and the female hyena fell asleep.

The male hyena turned around and ran, but before he took a step, he fell to the ground with a thud.

With the butt of the gun against his shoulder, Hawke moved the muzzle quickly, and before Erica's semi-automatic gun could fire a second shot, he fired two more short bursts.

The two male hyenas that fled in panic fell to the ground almost at the same time.

The gunshot startled the Peng Peng, and it fled quickly with its tail raised high like an antenna. While running at high speed, it continued to spray out feces. I don't know if it was scared or trying to reduce its body weight.

Erica had no other prey to hunt, so she quickly turned the gun around and pulled the trigger again.

As the gunshot rang out, Pumbaa performed a head-on brake and fell headfirst next to a tree.

It took only three or four seconds from the gunshot to the silence. Onard turned to look at Hawke and Erica, wondering if these two were professional hunters.

The working leopard could not appear again, so Hawke said to Onard, "Go collect the prey."

Onard quickly called his companions to come over.

Hawke said to Edward again: "Tell them to drive the car over."

Edward pulled out his radio and called the people behind him.

Hawke carried the AKM in one hand and walked quickly towards the woods.

As I got closer, I could smell the distinct smell of blood.

Erica's eyes kept wandering over the nearby trees, hoping that the smell of blood would attract the leopard over.

But the gunshots had already scared away the animals.

Onard asked, "Want to take a picture?"

Edward had come over with his camera.

Onard said no more and ordered his men to pile the four spotted hyenas and a warthog together.

Hawke and Erica each held a gun and stood behind the prey, allowing Edward to take pictures.

After loading the prey into the car, Onard led the way south again. The sun had already moved to the west. This place was quite far from the lions' habitat, so according to the plan, they would go hunting lions tomorrow.

There are many herbivores in the grassland area, so it is not difficult to hunt them.

You can hit them with a single shot from a few hundred meters away.

Hawke simply asked his men to take turns to try out the guns.

According to the obtained license and list, some antelopes and zebras were hunted.

When the sun went down and they returned to the temporary camp, Onard performed his skinning skills on the spot.

Lions don't eat hyena meat, they just transport it back and make specimens.

Two Latin mercenaries under Bosque also pulled out an antelope and the Pumbaa, and skinned and cut their meat.

Everyone cleaned the ground, lit a bonfire, and prepared for a picnic on the grassland.

A black guide took a box of wine from their car and brought it to Bosque's security team, saying, "This is our specialty wine, free of charge."

Bosque smiled and declined: "No, we don't drink alcohol during the mission."

The black guide was a little embarrassed.

Onard came over: "It's okay, you can take it with you when you leave."

"Thank you." Bosc asked someone to put the wine aside.

Hawke also received some free wine, and he asked Edward to move it directly to the car.

Andre ordered his men to open the rear door of a pickup truck and unload a large amount of food and picnic utensils.

Given Hawke's character and Bosk's expertise, they would certainly not eat and drink food given by others in such a remote place.

Even the preparation of these wild games is done by skinning and preparing them by ourselves, without relying on anyone else.

Hawke took a bottle of iced cola, opened it and took a sip, feeling inexplicably refreshed.

When it got dark, the generator car started, the lights were turned on, and the engine fire began to burn.

In Ethiopia during this season, the temperature at night can drop below 20 degrees, and the climate is still comfortable.

Hawke put the sliced ​​and beaten antelope meat on the grill, where it sizzled and oozes oil. The sauce was brushed on top, creating a fragrant aroma.

Suddenly, a pair of small light bulbs lit up in the darkness, and the baby's cry was heard again.

Cheetah Shana smelled the blood and came out.

Erica picked up a piece of meat and threw it directly to it.

The cheetah simply refused to leave.

It's not easy to be a worker, and it's just as hard to be a working leopard.

It’s more comfortable to lie down.

On the other side, Onard and others were also preparing dinner.

They cut up antelope meat, tripe, intestines and other ingredients and threw them directly into a pot to make a mutton stew.

One of the black men took out his cell phone, opened a Snake game, and started playing happily.

The positioning device installed on the mobile phone starts to emit signals.

But he turned to look at the security guards and couldn't help but frown slightly.

Those people were very disciplined. Even when they were having dinner, they were divided into two groups. While one group was eating, the other group was on guard.

While eating, Bosque arranged the night's sentry.

This place is not far from South Sudan. For safety reasons, he not only arranged light and dark sentries, but also double dark sentries. (End of this chapter)
