Chapter 38: Finding Out the Enemy

When I woke up, the cave was already bright, the smell of food was fragrant, and I got up and looked at the stupid bird in the bamboo cage, and it was still alive and well.

"Looks like I slept too hard. I said self-deprecatingly.

After getting up and washing, I walked towards the table, except for the somewhat playful look in my dream, everyone else was fine.

I avoided the dreamy gaze and sat down in my place, Paul was much better, John and I looked at each other and smiled, and it felt as if everything was over.

After breakfast, we men got together again, and what we had to do couldn't be put off any longer.

"I think we should check it out. John said.

"I'll go too, it's time for me to contribute. Paul said.

"Okay, but let's discuss it first, just go and have a look, and don't have any contact with them for the time being. I said.

Having determined the purpose and unified our thoughts, we set out again, trying not to think about the murder as much as I could, but to concentrate on the jungle.

This time we didn't go wrong again, and finally settled on the location of the gang.

"I didn't expect it to be here, it's really careless. John said.

"Yes, if we had gone in this direction, this place would have been ours. Paul said.

"This place isn't as good as where we are. I said with a smile.

"Why don't we take a closer look?" said John.

The three of them looked at each other and nodded at the same time, so we lowered our bodies and slowed down, moving slowly and lightly.

The place where the cruise ship was damaged was in the south, and standing on the deck, you could see a cliff dozens of meters high, almost vertical, so we didn't think about what would be behind this cliff at that time.

But the hiding place of this group is behind this cliff, and it turns out that this cliff is not just a cliff as we think, but there is a hole in the back.

The location of this group is similar to the cave we had before, except that the entrance to the cave on their side is higher than the ground, and there must be more space inside.

The gang had some survivability, as we could see by looking at the rope ladder that hung down from the entrance of the cave, and we could even see some fish hanging from the entrance of the cave.

"It seems that they are having a good time as a child. John said.

"They have food and drink, so they shouldn't be beating our minds, right?" Paul said.

"That's because they don't know we're alive or where we are. I said.

"What do you mean?" asked the two in unison.

"I decided to take a closer look. I said.

"Don't, in case you run into it. John said.

"should be out foraging outside at this time, and if I'm not mistaken, there's no one in the cave right now. I said.

"What if there is?" said John.

"Don't go, we already know where the is, that's it. Paul said.

"I just want to make sure if they're tooβ€”" I said and stopped.

The two looked at each other and fell into deep thought.

"Well, let's find a way to get to that location, where we should be able to see what's going on in their cave, and if there's anyone we'll leave immediately. John said.

"It's doable, but we don't know when they'll be back. Paul said.

"I guess they should be fishing in the sea by now. I said.

"Okay, then I'll go to the beach. Paul said.

"Wait a minute, we'll meet here in an hour. I said, raising my wrist.

I don't know how long our watch will last.

"Okay, let's go. "Paul went alone, and John and I walked toward a tree.

The big tree was facing their cave, and although it was still a few dozen meters away, it was enough for us to see what was going on inside the cave.

"You keep watch down there, and I'll go up and see. "Come under the tree, I said to John.

After that, I took out the rope I was carrying and began to throw it into the tree, and the claw hook tied to the end of the rope was only remembered after we left the cruise ship.

However, there were no welding tools, but fortunately we brought out some steel, and this claw hook is that we take three thin steel bars and bend them and then tie them together.

It took a lot of effort to bend it, first heating it on the fire, and then smashing it with a hammer when it turned red, and finally bending it.

Fortunately, the final product can also be used, and John blamed himself for this matter, saying that he was not well thought out.

I quickly climbed to my intended position and hurried to look inside the cave, but it was not the same as the one we had before.

Because there are many of them, you can't see the inside at all, it's dark inside, and you can only see the basic furnishings at the entrance of the cave.

But I'm in the right position to see the beach, and I can even see Paul, this guy is very well hidden, and I can spot him, mostly because of luck and location.

It was several hundred meters from the beach, and I could see a lot of black spots moving, needless to say that it must be people, and as I expected, they were fishing in the sea.

Having determined this, I hurriedly adjusted the rope and began to descend the tree, and after falling to the ground to retract the rope, I said to John, "There is no one in the hole. ”

John looked at me suspiciously, in fact, I was also gambling when I said this, I said to avoid contact before leaving, but now I am really curious if these people have also lost their humanity.

John seemed to see what I was thinking, but he didn't stop me, and he kept up with me without hesitation.

I quickly climbed the rope ladder and listened carefully to the movement in the cave before coming to the entrance of the cave and gesturing to John.

We didn't dare to turn on the flashlight, just lightly touched the cave, but we didn't expect that there was a corner, and after turning the corner, the cave was very bright by the fire, and there were torches all around.

"I didn't expect it to be so big. John whispered.

"Well, now that we're sure there's no one, we'll take a look and leave. I whispered.

The two of them immediately dispersed, and there were many caves in this cave, large and small, surrounded by several layers, and the middle of the cave was empty, like a patio.

At first glance, it looks like a residential building, but these small caves can be seen at a glance, and there is a path circling inside the cave under our feet, and I stuck out my head to look down, there are actually four floors here, and we are now in the middle.

Could it be that this is the place where the captain's diary mentions that there is a treasure?

John down, I up, the two of them moved very fast, several decent caves were placed with some human things, the upper two floors I quickly looked through, roughly estimated that there were ten people.

But when I returned to the entrance, I saw no John, and I was about to turn around to look for it, when I heard a cry for help.

The sound came from below the cave, it sounded like the bottom layer, I didn't care so much, I pulled out my knife and ran down.

When I got to the bottom floor, I saw John standing in the middle, and the cave on the bottom had all been converted into cages, but it looked like it was some years old, because most of them were broken, and only the two in front of John were good.

John didn't look at me, and the voice of help came again, but this time it was right in front of me.

And it was a somewhat hoarse female voice, I hurried over to the stunned John, and my heart instantly twisted at the sight of the situation inside the cage.

"Help, help, save us. "This time it was more real.

There were two people in the two cages, and there were four unclothed women, one of whom was covered in bruises, and it seemed that he was no longer dead.

One of us was a little older, one looked to be in his early twenties, and the other was glazed but beautiful.

"Why are you being locked up here?" was a redundant question, but I asked it anyway.

"The brutes, we don't obey them, they lock us up, torture us, beat us, and often insult us," the slightly older woman cried.

said that he was older, but in fact, he looked quite good, only more mature than the two daughters around him.

The younger woman knelt down directly at us crying, her eyes full of pleading, and said to me: "I remember you, it was you who proposed to resist the monsters, and it was you who found the coconut, and we were not there when you were driven away, we were on the boat. ”

When she said that, I remembered, but there were indeed some people on the ship who belonged to the neutral faction, and these people were probably among them.
