Chapter 749: Hope Lost
Near the docks, the dinghy did not dare to move forward, and if they were found by mercenaries, it would be a dead end
At this time, the stagnant water has dissipated a lot, and 6 places have been exposed in the high places, and the terrain around this pier is very high, and there is basically no stagnant water.
"Okay, you guys are here, I'll go over with Bai Xiu to check it out!" Wu Ming said.
"I'll go with you!" Du Yixuan was about to get up.
Wu Ming shook his head, "You are right here, if someone shows up, you can still take care of it!"
Du Yixuan thought about it for a while, then nodded, "Okay, then you have to be careful!"
The two of them did not stop, and hurried towards the dock, now they were afraid that the ships had already left, and they would be completely finished.
Before the two of them reached the dock, they heard the faint sound of gunfire and noisy shouts from the other side, and the two looked at each other with shocked expressions, and then hurried to that side.
This pier is at the bottom of a hillside, Wu Ming and Bai Xiu are standing on the top of the hillside, at this time, they are not afraid of being seen at all, because no one is willing to pay attention to them, these people are firing fiercely, there are more than five ships here, plus the one when Wu Ming and them came before, there are already six.
But the ships were full of smoke and burning.
And around the ship, there were several groups of people fighting there!
The scene is already chaotic!
Wu Ming and Bai Xiu were already a little blind, and they were also lost in their hearts, so it seemed that the hope of going back was basically gone.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and it turned out to be a howitzer hitting a ship, and suddenly, a hole was punched out of the hull, and seawater poured into it, and the ship was completely ruined!
And this howitzer seems to be just the beginning, and then all kinds of heavy weapons are used, and in a short time, these ships are shot one after another, and they are almost sinking into the water.
Wu Ming sighed, "Forget it, let's go back, there's basically no hope!"
Bai Xiu also nodded dejectedly, and the two of them walked towards the rubber boat.
Without these boats, there is little hope of getting out, and if you wait for the fishing boats from the outside world, you don't know what the years will be.
When they came to the rubber boat, these girls were still on guard, and when they saw the two coming back, they immediately surrounded them excitedly.
"Wu Ming, how is it, is there any progress?" Du Yixuan asked.
They also thought that the two of them would have a chance to get on the boat when they came back so soon, so everyone showed excitement and yearning.
Wu Ming couldn't bear to hit them, but this kind of thing, he couldn't cheat if he wanted to!
"I'm sorry, we may not be able to go back this time!" Wu Ming said with a wry smile.
Several girls were stunned for a moment, and then they all looked at Wu Ming suspiciously.
"Brother Wu, are you lying to us, right?" Huang Shanshan burst into tears.
Although she asked so, everyone knew that it was impossible for Wu Ming to lie to them about this kind of thing.
"What the hell is going on?" Even Du Yixuan's face turned pale.
No matter how strong she is, she is a woman after all, and she is also a princess of the Du family, but she has been enduring it all the time.
"Don't be discouraged, there will always be a day to go out!" Bai Xiu said optimistically.
When Wu Ming looked at Qian Yingying, he didn't feel much sadness, Bai Xiu and the two of them were living freely here.
"Don't be sad first, you can't get out, that's a later story, the scene is very chaotic over there now, let's hurry back, I think after the war, they will find a new place to live, we are likely to be in danger!"
Everyone was stunned, and then they became nervous, Wu Ming was right, whether they could go back or not, that was a matter for the future, at least they could live now, and it wasn't too difficult, but the days were a little boring.
And if those mercenaries catch or go to the cave, then they will be miserable!
Before the battle between those people was over, they immediately ran into the cave.
When they came to the cave, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"This cave is not absolutely safe, those mercenaries have a lot of experience in survival, and they will also fight their residence on this cliff, and if there is no cave, it is very simple for them to fight a cave! Therefore, we must be ready to fight at any time!" Wu Ming said in a deep voice.
"That's good!" Du Yixuan also nodded, "Moreover, we still have to make plans to retreat, if we are revealed, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold out for too long!
After hearing this, several people's hearts became a little heavy.
Wu Ming smiled reluctantly, "Actually, Xuanxuan is talking about the most serious matter, we have seen just now, their consumption in that big battle is a lot, heavy weapons have basically been consumed, even if there are, the number will not be too much, and the casualties are heavy, the combat effectiveness must be greatly reduced, and more importantly, these people are also incompatible with each other, therefore, the threat to us is not as big as imagined!"
After listening to Wu Ming's words, everyone's mood stabilized, and Du Yixuan only appeared, and his emotions had collapsed a little just now, so he said such words that were not conducive to unity.
She glanced at Wu Ming apologetically and said, "Wu Ming is right! Besides, we are not easy to mess with, we have a lot of weapons, and it is not so easy for them to occupy the cave." ”
Wu Ming nodded, "But we still have to prepare, now that this stagnant water has gone down a lot, it is convenient to get some traps!"
As soon as everyone heard this, their eyes lit up, and the effect of Wu Ming's anesthetic was clear to everyone, as long as he broke a little skin, he could be hit.
After a simple meal, several people began to act.
Bai Xiu was in charge of finding food, Du Yixuan and Wu Ming began to set traps, and the remaining girls weaved the curtains, and everyone had a sense of urgency in their hearts.
We all know that if those mercenaries are repaired, they will start looking for a suitable place to stay.
Soon, Wu Ming laid a trap on the path below the cave, on the one hand, this trap can hunt some wild beasts, and on the other hand, it can also prevent mercenaries from making trouble.
And Bai Xiu also lived up to expectations, bringing back a few hares and the like, it seems that after this rainstorm, many small animals began to come out to feed.
In the evening, the mood of several people finally stabilized, after all, they had also survived on this small island for so long, and they had also adapted a little.
"From tomorrow onwards, we can't go out at will, in terms of food, I will go out with Bai Xiu, everyone must always be vigilant!" Wu Ming said.
Several people nodded their heads.
At night, it was so quiet that even Bai Xiu was honest.
Du Yixuan and Bai Xiu were also silent in the tent.
"Wu Ming, do you think we can still go out?" Du Yixuan suddenly asked.
Wu Ming laughed, "Of course you can, you think, even if this West Wind Island is mysterious, but after all, it is so close to Zhonghai, and the princesses of your big families are here, if you don't go back after a while, you will definitely send someone to look for it, don't worry, it's only a matter of time before you go back!"
Hearing Wu Ming's words, Du Yixuan also laughed, "Wu Ming, thank you for your optimism, if it weren't for you, I think everyone's emotions would have collapsed a long time ago, and we can survive thanks to you!"
Wu Ming smiled even more happily, "Then how are you going to thank me?"
Du Yixuan glanced at him, "Wu Ming, I feel like I'm about to accept you!"
Wu Ming was stunned for a moment, then looked at her with a smile, "Why don't we do something tonight?"
Du Yixuan snorted coldly, "I think it's beautiful, wait for me to be in a better mood one day!"
When Wu Ming heard this, he was overjoyed, knowing that Du Yixuan had let go of his last guard against him, and immediately jumped into her sleeping bag and hugged her from behind!
Du Yixuan didn't resist, but trembled, and her body began to heat up, her figure was indeed too good, and Wu Ming reacted immediately.
But he also knew that Du Yixuan was different from other girls, so he hugged her all night.
In the early morning, they were woken up by a dense burst of gunfire, and several of them were startled, and hurriedly hid behind the curtain to watch.
Fortunately, there were two mercenary forces fighting, about four or five people running in front, and nearly twenty or so people in the back.
"Oops!" Wu Ming's heart sank, and the next moment, those four or five people fell into the trap.
These people were originally injured, and they were stabbed by a branch, and they didn't run a few steps, and they fell to the ground, and the group of mercenaries behind them ran over and shot at these people, the scene was very bloody, and Huang Shanshan and their girls vomited out at once.
After the incident, the mercenaries did not leave, but searched for the same place, and soon they found all the traps.
At this time, Wu and the others were already nervous, and if they were trapped, it was obvious that there were people living around, and this trap had become both a means of defense and a target for exposure! This made Wu Ming feel a little remorseful, and he didn't expect this!
The next moment, I saw these mercenaries walking towards the stone cliff.
"Prepare to shoot!" Du Yixuan said coldly.
Obviously, those mercenaries who are experienced in surviving in the wild have already thought that there are people on this cliff!
Among a few people, Du Yixuan and Bai Xiu's marksmanship is the best, Wu Ming can only be said to be improvised, those girls have been trained by Du Yixuan, and they can also use it simply, of course, there is no marksmanship at all, if you are lucky, you can also sweep a few people, after all, this submachine gun is very easy to use.
Soon, the mercenaries came to the bottom of the cliff and began to gurgle at it.
