292 The first contact between the old and the new world

"Woo---- woo woo----"

Suddenly there were several deafening whistles on the river, and without warning, sound waves struck, creating a commotion for the natives present, whether it was the men who were a little farther away, or the women and children on the shore, all subconsciously covered their ears, and the people screamed again, and the baby in the woman's arms also cried more sharply, and many people were frightened by this sound and knelt down on the spot, including the victors who were singing and dancing just now.

For the natives, the appearance of the big ship with smoke and a strange roar on the water must have been a miracle.

By the second time the whistle sounded, most of the women and children on the shore had been unsteady on their feet, and the sturdy tribal warriors had quickly sunk into the jungle on the other side of the creek, and only a few daring dared to poke their heads out of the grass to observe the water.

However, the crocodiles did not perceive anything, because the blood in the river had aroused the sensitive sense of smell of the crocodiles, and their appetite made them still slowly approach the shore, and two of the large crocodiles with a length of more than two meters had already climbed up to the shore with half their bodies, showing their sharp teeth at the women and children.

The double fear made the women scream again, this sound hit people's eardrums, and some women actually made a dolphin sound, the sound was very sharp and piercing, this is probably the last defensive weapon of the women, and it also made Ren Ke, who was standing on the slope a hundred meters away, listen to their scalps.

Unfortunately, all this can't stop the crocodile from advancing.

Da Da

Exploration crews trained in firearms are familiar with this sound, which is the sound of Kalashnikov's point fire.

Yes, at this moment, on the deck on the starboard side of the Pride, Li Sanduo and Xu Zhi led the trainees to line up along the side of the ship, and the muzzles of the twenty AK47s spewed out fireworks almost at the same time, and the rain of bullets swept across the river like an invisible blade.

Dense bullets hit the crocodile, hitting the ground, the mud that swayed and the flesh on the crocodile's back intertwined, and a moment later, the two giant crocodiles instantly turned into a pile of disemboweled, rotten meat, and killed on the spot.

At the same time, more crocodiles appeared on the banks of the river, but they were immediately beaten by the whizzing bullets.

At this moment, smoke was belching from the stern chimney of the Pride, the roar of the Stirling engine echoed across the river, the bow facing the creek, and the hull of the ship was slowly approaching the mouth of the creek sideways. However, at this time, the crocodile group did not retreat at all, and there were still crocodiles coming ashore.

After a few breaths, the Pride rushed into the crocodiles at the mouth of the stream.

The Pride's steel hull slammed into the crocodiles, but the crocodiles continued to rush to the riverbank near the mouth of the creek, and finally the Pride was surrounded by crocodiles, a sight that made the people on board shudder.

The gunfire on the side of the ship was still intense, but more often it became a precise burst of fire, and because of the closer, almost every short burst of fire would bloom a few blood flowers in the river or on the shore.

The dark green water of the river began to become turbid and ochre red under the struggle of the crocodiles, and emitted a bloody smell that rushed to the sky.

I don't know how long it took, but the gunfire finally became sparse, and everyone on the Pride had lost an average of three full magazines.

At this moment, the blood tide on the river surface had occupied most of the river, and began to slowly spread the crimson into the distance, and the smoke of gunpowder and blood gas mixed together, irritating everyone's nasal passages.

More than 30 crocodiles, large and small, were scattered across the riverbank, and by this time, there was no trace of crocodiles swimming on the water, and the silence around them finally returned.

The setting sun once again splashed gold on the river, smearing the green duckweed and the blood-red half of the river with a dazzling layer of pink

The natives on the banks of the river watched all this in amazement, for most of the tribesmen, it was all a disorienting existence, and what had just happened was too stimulating for the brain, and in terms of their worldview, people could not understand what was happening in front of them.

Then the women and children suddenly became silent, even the babies in their arms stopped crying, and people just stared blankly at the boats on the river, and at the people standing on the boats who were completely different from what they had seen and heard, no, they might or may not be human.

Because these figures standing on the bow of the ship were different from anyone they had ever seen, a thought flashed through many people's minds: they may have met a fairy......

And, of course, there's something in their hand that makes a peculiar noise, something strange that can make crocodile's skin open.

However, the things in the hands of the "godmen" only after the roar and smoke were spewed out, the crocodiles would open their skins and flesh in response, and it was only a few people in the crowd who could logically link these two things, and it must be some kind of weapon of God.

By this time, the men who had taken refuge in the jungle still did not dare to come out, they were still observing in secret, and their eyes were full of a certain vigilance.

"Attention groups, attention to groups, be careful when approaching those women and children, we need to touch the natives, and if you think it is necessary, you can shoot at any time."

Gu Jin's order came from the walkie-talkie again.

"Roger! Bullet loaded, forward! ”

After Ren Ke, the leader of the group, finished speaking, he took the lead in getting up and walking towards the stream down the slope, ** Yue Chu and Zhou Rui also followed closely behind Ren Ke, at this time their eyes were staring nervously at the jungle, and they didn't dare to relax for a moment......

It was a moment close to evening, when humans from the old world and the new world communicated face-to-face for the first time, starting with a few simple words of conversation.

Despite the fact that the occasion was littered with corpses, the air was thick with blood, and there were wary or frightened eyes all around, the whole exchange seemed calm.

The first conversation takes place between Zhou Rui and a mother with a baby in her arms.

Obviously, the former is well versed in the fact that the most basic attribute of human beings is foodie, and as soon as he spoke, he took out the fried chicken leg left over from the afternoon from his shoulder bag, and then slowly handed it to the mother, but the other party looked at the fried chicken leg handed over by Zhou Rui with a slightly frightened look and did not react.

"Zhou Rui!"

Zhou Rui's right hand was placed on the holster on his waist, and in the holster was a top-loaded point 38 caliber six-inch Colt Python revolver, with a walnut grip and a bright nickel-plated gun body that was very conspicuous.

However, the woman in front of Zhou Rui didn't know that it was a weapon, her eyes had always been attracted by Zhou Rui's left hand holding a fried chicken leg, at this time Zhou Rui pointed at herself with a chicken leg in his left hand, and then pointed forward to the other party and asked again:

"Zhou Rui, you, what's your name?"

Obviously, the other party didn't understand what he was saying, but the fried chicken thighs exuded an attractive aroma in front of her---- and at this time Zhou Rui didn't realize that the fried chicken thighs made with salad oil, flour, refined salt and various spices should be a unique delicacy in this era.

Finding that the woman's attention was always attracted by the fried chicken leg in her hand, Zhou Rui immediately took a small bite, indicating that it was eaten, and then handed it to the woman again.

The woman hesitated for a moment, reached out and took the fried chicken leg that was missing a small piece, and also took a small bite and chewed a few times like Zhou Rui-

The woman suddenly grinned, then took another bite, chewed a few times, but spit it in her hand, little by little fed into the mouth of the baby in her arms, the baby's glasses have not yet opened, just subconsciously smacked her mouth a few times, and suddenly began to cry, obviously, the child did not receive the mother's affection......
