Chapter 37: Rescuing the Captives
Chapter 37: Rescuing the Captives
Guo Wei's tribe is located at the foot of the mountain, backed by green mountains and green waters, and the location is hidden, which is indeed very suitable for living, but after a raid a few days ago, the entire tribe is in ruins. The protective piles and barbed wire fences to defend against the attacks of zombie creatures were burned black, the simple wooden huts living in the camp were torn down, and dozens of tribal freedmen were busy with their own work, each rebuilding their homes with a sad face.
"Uncle Guo! You're back! "When the three children playing at the gate of the camp saw us coming, they all ran over with cheers, and a dark and thin boy looked twelve or thirteen years old, with a bare back and a skinny upper body, and suddenly pounced on Guo Wei's body, looking extremely intimate.
Guo Wei picked up the boy and stuck the messy stubble in the boy's face, causing him to laugh heartily again.
"Alas, Little Tiger was rescued from a zombie wolf when we went out hunting, and when we rescued him, his parents were already buried in the wolf's belly. I've always treated him as a nephew......" Guo Wei looked at Xiaohu who was gradually running away with pity, and it was obvious that he had a deep relationship with the young man.
While he was talking, several people came out of the camp, led by one in his forties, burly, with a full beard, and a face full of exhaustion, seeing Guo Wei come back with me and Xia Yuan, he couldn't help frowning: "Guo Wei, didn't I tell you that you are not allowed to take people apart?" Although we are free people, we cannot do anything to harm our compatriots, let them go! It is not difficult to guess from the tone of his voice that he is the leader of the tribe, Cao Riben.
Guo Wei smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Boss Cao, you are wrong, they are not prisoners, but we are their prisoners......" Hearing Guo Wei's words, Cao Riben's eyes flashed, and everyone looked at me with a wary expression, and there was a big intention to fight when he gave an order.
"Don't do it!" Guo Wei took a step forward and told Cao Riben the whole story, and the atmosphere eased up.
"Since he is a benefactor, he is the distinguished guest of our tribe!" Cao Riben looked at me with a grateful face, without the slightest hint of hypocrisy in his expression, obviously like Guo Wei, they are real people: "Please come in, tell Xiaoyao and them, let them hurry up and call all the men who went out back, and have something to discuss." After the order, a few of his subordinates hurriedly ran out to call people.
"Brother! I'm sorry, I have no choice but to disturb you, thank you brother for raising your noble hand! Cao Riben invited us to sit under a thatched hut that had been erected, and asked his subordinates to bring a homemade wooden basin, which contained some wild fruits picked from the nearby mountains: "There is nothing to entertain in the tribe, some rough things in the mountains and wilderness, brothers and sisters should not be disliked...... "He said and handed the wooden basin over.
I glanced at Xia Kite, who was blushing, and said with an embarrassed face: "Brother Cao is polite, ...... We are brother and sister, you read it wrong! ”
"Uh...... That's it! Cao Riben was stunned, patted his head, and laughed: "The old eyes are dizzy, haha......" Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere was a lot more harmonious.
This kind of red wild fruit in the mountains, sour and slightly bitter, but more delicious, Xia Kite greedy mouth, eat two in one go, sour she can't help sticking out her tongue.
"Brother Cao, what is the origin of those hunters? When are you scheduled to meet? After introducing each other and greeting each other, I asked a few questions, and when we heard the conversation about business, everyone fell silent.
Cao Riben sighed, the tribe was bullied, he was extremely ashamed as the leader, and replied: "There are not many of them, only seventeen or eighteen, but they all have guns and three trucks, and the strength of such a hunter team should not be underestimated!" We will change people the day after tomorrow, Zhang Yang brothers, how sure are you that you can succeed? ”
Having a gun can stand in this last days, I didn't expect them to have three trucks, which surprised me, trucks have an extremely important role in this kind of last days, with trucks and guns, such hunters have strong mobility.
Cao Riben's tribe was captured twelve people, the last days of manpower is scarce, each tribe is trying to maintain sufficient manpower, as long as there are people and resources the tribe will grow, this has a lot of big fish eat small fish phenomenon, some small tribes are gradually swallowed up by larger tribes.
Some tribes make a living by hunting people from other tribes, they are all freedmen become hunters, the most excluded and freedmen talk about the discolored tribe, the powerful tribal hunters dare not intrude, that is, a small tribe of hundreds of people like Cao Riben is the most angry, because the hunters have captured twelve people and the scarcity of food, some people have been shaken and retreated, and even some unstable elements have questioned Cao Riben's position as the leader, if it were not for his consistent righteous and steady style, Someone has already jumped out.
Cao Riben has been sad all day in the past few days, one is that the redemption conditions proposed by the hunters have not been met, and the other point is that for the sake of future survival, the hunters have asked for a large number of materials with their mouths open, and the survival of the tribe is unsustainable.
My appearance seemed to make Cao Riben grasp a life-saving straw. Because I didn't want my peculiar physique to be shocking to the world, I lied that I was a third-level evolutionary warrior, an outcast of Eagle City, and a third-level evolutionary warrior without biological armor was also unmatched by ordinary people, so Cao Riben boldly agreed to my strategy, and they were in direct contact with the hunters, and I launched a sneak attack to try to win a blow.
"I'm 90% sure of success!" I nodded firmly, and gave everyone an encouraging look, although the grasp is great, but it is difficult to say whether there are variables, only by taking it by surprise can it achieve the greatest effect.
In this way, he stayed in Cao Riben's tribe for two days. I heard that there is a third-level evolution warrior in the tribe, and every day the free people of the tribe come to see me with a curious and adoring look, the third-level evolution warrior is not something that can be seen in general, these people have always been hidden in the high walls of the federal city and hold important positions, and now there is a living third-level evolution warrior by his side, so don't hurry up and take a look.
The blind worship of the strong is even more fanatical than the previous star chasers, if it weren't for the fear of me, I'm afraid they would have come to me for an autograph. Rao is so, every day some women in the tribe who think they have a posture still appear in front of me intentionally or unintentionally, in the face of these women who scratch their heads and posture Xia Kite's teeth itch all day, as if they are afraid that their favorite toys will be snatched away. Drive them away.
"Big brother, if you look at them again, I'll ...... I...... I'll ignore you! "Looking at the summer kite sitting next to me, I couldn't help but laugh, looking at her cute appearance, like a wild cat that has been teased with its teeth and claws.
Just as I was about to make fun of a few words, Cao Riben came over with a dozen or so people, I quickly stood up, and when I saw Cao Riben's heavy expression, I also put away my smile and asked, "Are they coming?" ”
Cao Riben nodded and said, "It's here!" All three cars came over......"
I didn't ask any more, and instructed a few of Cao Riben's subordinates to take care of Xia Kite, so I left the camp alone and went around to a place to hide.
As soon as I hid myself, I heard the roar of engines, and three trucks were coming towards the camp with a loud noise, and I hid behind the high rocks to see clearly, and on each car stood a few sturdy men with guns in hand, and some freedmen with their hands and feet tied in the cars.
I couldn't help but laugh when I saw these three uniquely shaped trucks and the people on them, but the road was really narrow, and the bald man in the first car was Ma Biao, who captured me to Eagle City and sold me as a slave!
I secretly gritted my teeth, it just so happened that the new hatred and old hatred were settled together today, if it weren't for this guy, Zhang Damin and Wen Zhengbiao wouldn't have been sold into the arena. But then again, if it weren't for this guy, I wouldn't have survived and improved my strength in the life-and-death struggle in the arena, and I wouldn't have met Mo Yue, and this series of things wouldn't have happened in the future, everything that happened after waking up from the ice can be said to be incredible!
Thinking of Mo Yue, my heart warmed again, I thought that I would not come out of the mine alive, but who knew that I still escaped from death like a tenacious Xiaoqiang, and I am still very concerned about Mo Yue, a woman who has a fast food love. Do you want to go to Eagle City first? Thinking of Mo Yue's gentleness, the corners of my mouth couldn't help but bloom with a smile like an aftertaste, I didn't expect that I, who was incompatible with this last world, would gain so much!
With Mo Yue's love, the friendship of Wen Zhengbiao and others, and the family affection between Xia Kite's brother and sister, it turns out that I have so many bonds, and the wisps are gradually letting me integrate into this era!
Shaking their heads, shaking off these chaotic thoughts in their minds, the hunters led by Ma Biao parked the car at the gate of the camp and got out of the car, and confronted Cao Riben.
"Boss Cao! Is everything ready? If we don't get it together, we won't wait......" Ma Biao looked arrogant, he didn't pay attention to this kind of small tribe of more than 100 people, this kind of kidnapping captives in exchange for supplies was already a matter that he was familiar with.
"Boss Ma, everything is ready, I'm going to let people move out, just my sister and my people?" Cao Riben looked at Ma Biao hesitantly, and stopped talking.
"Less nonsense! When things are prepared, people will naturally put them! Don't play any tricks! Ma Biao impatiently urged a few words, and asked Cao Riben to take someone in to move things.
Ma Biao waited at the gate of the camp with ten of his men, and there were two men with guns in each car guarding the prisoners in the truck, so that they were seventeen people in total, because there were more than a dozen prisoners in each of the three cars, and I couldn't tell who Cao Riben's clan was, and it seemed that it would take a lot of effort to rescue the hostages first.
Crawling silently, I was less than twenty meters away from the back of a truck under the cover of the grass, and the slightest distance was too little to be spotted by the two people in the truck, but fortunately the two of them were leaning together and chatting, and did not notice that I was getting closer.
The two of them are too close to each other, and it is impossible to solve them one by one, as long as one person can still speak or move, it will warn, in that case, you can only fight hard with these hunters.
Looking at my hands, I secretly cheered myself up, and if I wanted to get angry, I had to rely on the bone spurs that had evolved.
