Chapter 406

As soon as Wang Shuai's voice fell, Wu Dong said again with a smile:

"Xiao An, we don't know how to hunt, so this time going into the mountains, we all recognize you as the leader; we'll listen to you entirely."

Wang An, upon hearing this, looked at Wu Dong and smiled knowingly, and then Wang An looked at He Liang and Ma Guoqiang with a smile.

Because Wu Dong's words made Wang An subconsciously think of the scene when he first met the three of them.

At that time, the three of them were truly as miserable as could be.

If it weren't for Wang An's timely rescue, Ma Guoqiang's leg would likely have been ruined nine times out of ten.

Because in this winter mountain, without food, often just a small injury could very likely cost someone their life.

One had to say, people who don't know how to hunt would definitely think that hunting is just shooting with a gun.

To say the truth, that is indeed the case, but the most important thing when hunting is actually not whether one can hit the prey, but how to ensure one's own safety.

After all, if a person dies, then that damn thing really is everything coming to nothing.

Although the few of them didn't know how to hunt, this time Wu Dong and the six people including Zhang Shuya came, and it could be said they were fully armed.

Not only was everyone in a combat uniform with long military boots, but the weapons of these six people were also all uniform Type 81 assault rifles and Type 54 pistols.

One must know that the Type 81 rifle only just started mass production this year and is an automatic rifle even more awesome than the Type 56.

Its awesomeness is mainly reflected in its higher accuracy compared to the Type 56.

And these six people not only had one each, but Wu Dong also brought one for each of the three of them.

Although they had to return them after use, to tell the truth, carrying a Type 81 on their backs indeed made the three of them feel much more at ease.

One had to say, many times, all fear and anxiety come from insufficient firepower.

After distributing the guns to the three of them, Wu Dong took out a box of flashbangs again.

While distributing two to each of the three of them, he said to the three of them showily:

"Do you think if we arrange this stuff for the big claws, wouldn't the big claws be stunned on the spot?"

Whether the big claws would be stunned or not, one didn't know, but the three of them, looking at the flashbangs in their hands, were truly stunned.

To be precise, they were shocked.

This damn thing, using flashbangs for tiger hunting, how could it feel so absurd?

Wu Dong, after showing off, taught the three of them how to use them.

The use of flashbangs was really nothing; it was nothing more than pulling the pin and throwing it out, but it was worth noting that this thing didn't distinguish between friend and foe.

If not done well, the tiger wouldn't be blinded, but one would be blinded first.

Finally, Sun Nian took two long wooden boxes from the jeep.

Wang An, seeing these two boxes, instantly felt a jolt of spirit, because Wang An recognized this kind of box.

And the things in the wooden box were definitely genuine fierce goods.

But what shocked Wang An was the time this box appeared.

By rights, this thing should have just started trial production this year, but now, it had already run into Sun Nian's hands.

Because this box was a box for a weapon, and this weapon was the genuine—sniper rifle.

This was also the first sniper rifle to start mass production in China—the Type 79 sniper rifle.

And this gun, to be precise, should be called the Type 85 sniper rifle.

However, this problem might only be known to Wang An alone at the moment.

Seeing Sun Nian take the box down, he threw it directly onto the sled.

The six people including Wu Dong didn't explain what these two boxes were or why they had to bring this thing into the mountains, but Wang An didn't ask either.

Mainly because, by rights, there weren't many of these guns in the entire China at the moment!

After packing up, the nine people drove 3 sleds and brought 10 dogs into the mountains.

And at this time, the sleds were not only loaded with people, food, and tools, but each sled was also loaded with a military tent.

It could be seen that the six people including Wu Dong would absolutely not give up until the tiger was dead.

The reason why tiger hunting was full of difficulties was that the tiger's own strength in all aspects was the main reason.

Because a tiger, as an animal, except for not being able to fly, was almost a perfect existence in other aspects.

The strength of a bear, the agility of a lynx, the speed of a leopard, able to climb trees, able to swim, a sense of smell not inferior to a wild boar, and a bite force that couldn't be said to be invincible in the world, but in the mountains, it was indeed the top one.

Although "all beings are equal under the muzzle of a gun," the premise was that one had to be able to hit it.

And as long as it was hunting, the most basic condition was always to find the prey.

So after the few of them entered the mountains, they didn't even unload the sleds and started looking for the tiger.

The few of them came to the place where Zhang Aimin had been chopping wood a few days ago, and following the footprints left by the tiger, they drove the sleds in pursuit.

For tiger hunting, having many people was of no use, because with the tiger's intelligence and alertness, the more people there were, the further it would run and the more hidden it would hide.

One must know that a tiger, even when hunting a rabbit, likes to approach stealthily; counting on it to show itself voluntarily was definitely not easy.

Soon, the three sleds arrived at the place where the brothers from the old Ma family were hurt earlier.

Judging by the footprints of people, the tiger's footprints, and the dogs' footprints left at the scene, the brothers from the old Ma family were indeed quite formidable.

Because the brothers had already run into the tiger, and judging by the bullet casings on the ground, the brothers had also fired their guns.

However, whether they hit it or not, one didn't know.

Because there was too much blood at the scene, it was impossible to tell if there was any tiger blood.

And of the 5 hunting dogs said to have been bitten to death, only 2 dog carcasses remained at the scene; the carcasses of the other 3 dogs, one didn't know if they were dragged away by the tiger or some other animal.

It could be seen that these 5 hunting dogs were very loyal, because there were no footprints of them fleeing.

If the 5 dogs had fled in all directions, then even if the tiger's speed was fast, it would be impossible to bite the five dogs to death in the same place.

Wang An didn't speak but threw the only two dog carcasses into a snow pit, then used a hunting knife to scoop up snow and buried them.

The other 8 people also didn't speak, and one after another took out hunting knives or military knives, actively helping to scoop snow and bury the dogs.

Mountain trekking dogs should be respected!

And Da Hei, seeing this scene, actually stretched its neck and barked wildly at the sky.

Immediately afterward, the other dogs all learned from Da Hei and all barked at the sky.

To tell the truth, the performance of Da Hei and the other dogs was truly heart-shaking.

Had the world of dogs already become this humanized?

After burying the two dogs, Wang An said to Mu Xueli and Wang Li:

"You two go get the dogs' protective gear and collars; let's put them on the dogs."

In order to let the dogs be light and fast, on the way into the mountains, they didn't put the protective gear and collars on the dogs.

Because the weight of this protective gear was indeed not light.

After putting the collars on the dogs and putting on the protective gear, the group followed the footprints left by the tiger and continued to drive the sleds in pursuit.
