Li Du looked out from the back seat of the Jeep, which was reinforced with steel plates.
The car sped northeast and soon left the military camp and entered a grassland.
Spring had arrived, and the grassland changed rapidly. Compared to the last time Li Du was in the South African grassland hunting grounds, the grassland here was already green.
The terrain here was more mountainous, and the grassland was surrounded by mountains or rugged hills, which was good for the accumulation of spring rain and allowed the weeds to grow faster.
There were trees on the hills: white sycamore trees, white walnut trees, African walnut trees, sabiri, red bean pomelos, and so on. Li Du even saw African rosewood on one of the hills.
African rosewood was not a rare tree, but it was very famous. In the rosewood market, many unscrupulous businessmen used it as real rosewood to deceive consumers.
In the woods and on the grassland, the shadows of some animals could be seen.
In the meantime, they came across a herd of zebras. Good, who was in the car, picked up the walkie-talkie and gave an order. Three pickup trucks drove toward the herd of zebras.
The zebras were startled and ran away in groups.
The three pickup trucks chased after the herd and targeted one of the stray zebras, driving it forward.
"Boss, how's the wound?" Brother Wolf asked in a low voice.
Li Du nodded silently and said, "I'm fine. Don't talk."
The atmosphere in the car became silent again.
At this time, Good suddenly said, "Mr. Li, in your opinion, these zebras are very pitiful, right?"
Li Du said, "That depends on how humans treat them. They are not pitiful when they live together."
Although he did not know what Good wanted to do, he knew that the man had a bad temper. Driving a zebra out was definitely not a good thing. This zebra was indeed pitiful.
Good laughed and said, "No, it has nothing to do with how humans treat them. Their fate is because they are too weak. The strong eat the weak, Mr. Li!"
The zebras were driven forward by the pickup trucks. The roar of the motorcade attracted the attention of some of the animals.
On a hill, a few hairy heads suddenly popped out from under a tree.
The zebra was very sensitive. It sensed that something was wrong. Ignoring the threat of the pickup trucks, it turned around and wanted to run back. It saw the hairy heads.
Li Du saw them too. They were lions!
When they saw the convoy and the zebras, the lions that were lying on the hill and basking in the sun stood up and glared at them!
Seeing that Zebra was trying to escape, a pickup truck rammed into it without hesitation.
The car crashed into the zebra from the side. The zebra screamed and fell to the ground.
The difference between flesh and steel was self-evident.
One of the zebra's front limbs was probably broken. After it was knocked to the ground, it tried to get up, but it did not dare to use one of its legs. As soon as it got up, it fell back to the ground in pain. It lay on its side, moaning in pain.
The pride of lions was attracted by the zebra's cry. Among the lionesses, a male lion with a lush mane emerged. This lion was more than three meters long. It had a wide face, a big mouth, and angry eyes. When it saw the zebra, two cold glints appeared in its eyes.
The zebra's howl was so loud that it attracted the attention of a few hyenas from a nearby hill.
After discovering the zebra, they did not just stand and watch like the lions. Instead, they pounced on the zebra without hesitation and started biting it from all sides.
Under the pressure of death, the zebra, which had fallen to the ground in pain, struggled to get up. It tried its best to push a hyena away and escape.
The wild hyenas were extremely savage. They pounced on the zebra and hung on it like a blood-sucking bug. They used their claws to tear at the zebra's skin and their teeth to tear at its muscles.
The zebra howled in pain, but it could not shake off the hyenas. The black and white stripes on its body were quickly dyed red with blood. As the hyenas tore at its skin, hideous wounds appeared, and chunks of flesh fell out.
The lion looked at the convoy warily. When it saw that the convoy had stopped moving, it could not help but charge at the zebra.
Faced with the lion that came to steal its food, the hyenas did not retreat. Instead, they turned around and faced the lion. They raised their heads and howled like wolves, "Awooo! Awooo!"
The lion ignored them and leaped into the air towards the zebra. The zebra, who was already exhausted, could not withstand the impact and was pushed to the ground.
As if it could foresee the end of the world, the zebra stretched its neck and whimpered. Then, it gave up resisting and lay on the ground, panting heavily. It did not struggle anymore.
The hyenas pounced on the zebra from all directions, wanting a piece of the meat.
The lion had already decided that the zebra was its food. It turned around fiercely and pounced on the hyena closest to it. With one swipe of its paw, it knocked the hyena to the ground.
The hyena had thick skin and flesh. It rolled a few times on the ground, got up, and ran to the side with its tail between its legs. However, it was not seriously injured and its life was not in danger.
The lion continued to pounce on the hyenas like an adult beating up a child. The ferocious hyenas were powerless before the lion and were chased away. Some were even bitten and injured, limping and howling as they ran away.
The fresh blood and howling attracted more prey. An eagle appeared in the sky, spreading its wings. It was flying too high for Li Du to see clearly and could not identify its species.
Taking advantage of the gap between the lion and the hyenas, the eagle swooped down. Its diving speed was extremely fast. Li Du only saw a blur before the eagle pounced on the zebra.
The eagle stuck its sharp beak into the zebra's wound. With a flick of its head, it tore off a piece of bloody meat. Then it flapped its wings and flew away.
The eagle was not greedy. It tore off a piece of meat and left.
Seeing that its prey was being fought over repeatedly, the lion let out an angry roar.
There was still a hyena that did not give up. It quietly ran back, wanting to tear off a piece of zebra meat. The lion pounced on it at lightning speed and used its claws to slap the hyena, causing it to roll on the ground a few times. Then the lion chased after it and bit the hyena's neck.
The hyena's neck was probably broken. When it rolled on the ground, it was lifeless. The lion grabbed the hyena by the neck and threw it on the zebra, roaring again.
The female lions wagged their tails and appeared with a few furry cubs. The hyenas finally gave up and ran away with their tails between their legs. They hid behind the bushes or trees nearby and stared at the horse meat, drooling.
The lion tore off the zebra's meat to eat. A female lion carried the hyena away and the two of them shared the meat.
The furry cubs looked charmingly naive. They ran crookedly on the grass. Their big eyes were clear, and their little tails were wagging. They looked like innocent children.
However, when they pounced on the zebra, they were no longer naive and naive. Like their parents, they opened their mouths and tore off the zebra meat. Fresh blood stained their heads, making them look somewhat ferocious.
