Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

It was dark and the road was slippery, so Wang An didn't drive fast.

As they passed through a grove of trees, the headlights flashed, and Wang An saw a deer suddenly appear in front of the car, running at breakneck speed. At the same time, Huang Zhong, sitting in the passenger seat, exclaimed in surprise:
"Brother, there's a deer ahead, it looks like a red deer."

Wang An nodded, his face beaming with joy, and said:
"Hmm, it's a deer. Quick, get your guns ready and give it a shot, hahahaha!"

I never expected to run into a big, blind deer on my way home. My luck is simply unbeatable!
It's clear that this deer is experiencing a stress response. The sudden headlights have caused it to only be able to see the lit road, while the areas not illuminated by the headlights have become completely dark to it.

Therefore, this deer will likely keep running in front of the light for a short period of time, and only when it realizes what's happening will it turn around and run into the darkness.

This phenomenon occurs in all animals, including humans, but is particularly noticeable in birds.

Many people can catch sparrows under the eaves at night with just a flashlight, and the sparrows won't run away. It's actually based on the same principle.

After Wang An finished speaking, Huang Zhong agreed and picked up the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle he was holding, then quickly pulled the bolt and chambered a round.

Hearing the sound of the bolt being pulled back, Wang An reduced his speed and said:

"Are you sure you can do it? If not, I'll do it."

Although Huang Zhong had mastered the spear technique and had never stopped practicing, Wang An still didn't quite trust it.

There's no way around it; everyone's the same. When it comes to doing something where the opportunity is fleeting, everyone feels like they can't trust anyone.

The main problem is that in this situation, there is likely only one chance to fire a shot. After that, the deer will most likely be startled and run into the darkness in a panic, making it very difficult to fire another shot.

Because in these mountains, apart from the moonlight, there is absolutely no other light.

Most importantly, Wang An and Huang Zhong kept their eyes fixed on the area illuminated by the headlights. If they suddenly looked into the darkness, they wouldn't be able to see anything either.

Upon hearing this, Huang Zhong chuckled and said:
"Just you wait and see, I'll kill it with one shot."

At this moment, Huang Zhong exuded confidence.

Wang An smiled slightly and said:

"Okay, get ready, I'll stop the car when I'm done."

After Wang An finished speaking, he continued to apply the brakes, slowing down the GAZ again until it was ready to stop at any moment. Huang Zhong then opened the car window and leaned out of the car with his entire upper body holding a gun.

It must be said that Huang Zhong's small stature has its advantages; at the very least, it would be absolutely impossible for Wang An to lean out of the car window.

Just as Huang Zhong adjusted his posture, Wang An gently stepped on the brakes and brought the GAZ to a stop.

Then, with a "bang," the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle in Huang Zhong's hand went off.

Wang An's eyes were constantly observing the deer. As the gunshot rang out, Wang An, using the headlights, vaguely saw a spurt of blood erupt from the deer's head, and the running deer immediately collapsed to the ground.

Wang An couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:

"Holy crap, Xiao Zhong, your marksmanship is really good! Hahaha, not bad, not bad, really not bad."

Although the distance wasn't far, and Wang An's driving was perfectly coordinated, Huang Zhong's ability to shoot the large deer in the head while in a crooked position was truly commendable. Huang Zhong, having seen the deer fall, pulled back from the window, his face beaming with barely concealed excitement. Hearing Wang An's praise, he said with a touch of smugness:
"Look, brother, I told you I could kill it with one shot, and I did! Hehehe."

Wang An laughed heartily, gave Huang Zhong a thumbs-up, and praised him:

"Yes, yes, yes, that's your marksmanship right now! Hahaha!"

Huang Zhong's eyes were fixed on the large deer in front of him, and he excitedly said:
"Brother, I feel like this big deer just handed itself to us, hehehe."

Wang An smiled and said:

"Yeah, it probably doesn't want to live anymore, so it came here to die on its own, haha."

As he spoke, Wang An released the clutch and drove forward a short distance, stopping the GAZ a few meters away from the deer.

As soon as the car came to a stop, Huang Zhong excitedly pulled the door open to get out, but Wang An reached out and pulled him back, saying:
"Are you crazy? What's the rush? We don't even know what's going on outside, why are you rushing down? What if there's a pack of wolves outside, or some leopard or something waiting to pounce on you? What are we going to do? Damn it."

On his way home, Wang An was chased by a bear and surrounded by wolves. The two lynxes, Da Mao and Xiao Mao, were picked up by Wang An on his way home.

The reason why people rarely travel at night in these mountains is because it is too dangerous.

You never know what kind of creatures you might encounter, like jackals, tigers, leopards, bears, or wild boars.

For Wang An, encountering a deer was already a rather miraculous event. Who knew if this deer had been chased by some ferocious beast?

Huang Zhong got out of the carriage without any precautions. If some wild beasts got desperate and even the gunshots couldn't scare them away, Huang Zhong would be in big trouble.

Huang Zhong, who had been pulled back, scratched his head and said somewhat awkwardly:

"I was so focused on this deer that I didn't think about anything else."

Wang An didn't reply. He turned on his flashlight and shone it out the car window. He carefully looked around in the beam and found nothing on the left side of the car. He then handed the flashlight to Huang Zhong and said:

"Take another look over there, is there anything outside the car?"

Huang Zhong took the flashlight and shone it outside, then quickly exclaimed in a low voice:

"Oh my god! Brother, it looks like a big paw, no, it's a leopard."

Upon hearing this, Wang An immediately pulled out his 54 pistol and started looking out the car window towards Huang Zhong while he was stroking it.

No sooner had he finished talking about Tu Baozi than Huang Zhong saw Tu Baozi outside. It's true what they say, speak of the devil and he appears!
Under the beam of the flashlight, Wang An saw a very large Siberian leopard baring its teeth and glaring fiercely at the flashlight beam, roaring angrily.

It's clear that the Amur leopard was also stressed by the sudden flashlight beam and was momentarily disoriented.

And judging from its crouching posture, it was ready to pounce and bite at any moment.

The flashlight beam shone directly on its face, making it very uncomfortable, and it seemed somewhat wary of the beam. (End of Chapter)
