Chapter 206: Model Citizen

The continuous oppression made Lin Zaishan have to reflect on his relationship with the survivors of the island, "It seems that before my strength is strong enough, no one will regard me as a friend, they only see if I have any value and threat to them." When they think that my threat is greater than their use, they will not hesitate to choose to kill me. I used my wits to win two days and one night, during which time I had to achieve basic self-preservation, or I would die at the hands of some worthless little man at any moment. ”

Lin Zaishan, who had made up his mind, sat calmly in the cage, posing lazily and enjoying the sunbathing, without showing the slightest worry about his own life.

Bands of thugs and coolies passed by him, all looking at him with disgust, as if he was the source of all their misfortunes, especially after a flock of thousands of seabirds had eaten the carcasses of the fish monsters on the beach for tens of minutes.

"Damn Asian monkey, your arrival has ruined all our good fortune!" Joey snorted viciously. He ignored the basic fact that even this fish monster had arrived with Lin Zaishan.

"Why would Mr. Doult hang this damned Asian monkey instead of letting him do the hardest and most tiring work?" A coolie who was sawing wood asked Joey.

"What can a flesh-and-bones Asian monkey do? They are all cunning and lazy people, digging out their hearts to grab our resources and trying to make our own profits. Joy replied, "This is especially true of the Chinese. ”

"But wouldn't it be cheap to hang in a cage and do nothing?"

"Old Tom, do you envy the cage life? Would you like to try it out with you? So you can get a base with this Asian monkey. ”

"Thank you Joey, I don't need to."

//////

Rob, Will, and Jimmy work together to carry the wood and pass under the cage.

"Now that the fish is gone, what do you think will happen to this Chinese monkey?" Jimmy asked the two companions.

"Obviously, in less than three days, Durt will be using him as luncheon meat."

"Good luck!" The three of them gloated and walked away.

Caroline, Joanna and Susan came to the woods with a large ball of textiles, which they cut into strips with scissors, tied to a tree, pulled and weaved, as if to make rope.

"The raft is about to be built, will these thugs take us off the island?" Joanna asked.

"I'd rather die on the island than be in the same boat as the demon Durt." Susan gritted her teeth, "If it's possible, I'd like to kill him before he leaves the island." ”

"Su Shan, don't act rashly, being able to send away Durt, the wicked man, is the biggest turning point we have worked hard for in the past few months." Caroline explained.

"Hmph, Caroline, your Madonna's heart will kill you sooner or later! Beware that Durt will take you as a sex-slave before he leaves. ”

Caroline's face changed greatly when she heard this, she finally calmed down, took out a piece of washed tree root from her palm and secretly handed it to Lin Zaishan, "Mr. Zalin, I know that you have been wronged; But there's nothing I can do but hide this bit of food for you, so you can eat it and make up for it. Please also forgive us for our rudeness. ”

Lin Zaishan took the root of the tree and ate it with relish, and said, "Caroline, you are a good person. Rest assured, no matter what happens on the island, I will protect you. ”

Caroline, of course, disagreed with Lin Zaishan's "bold words" and turned around to continue working. Joanna couldn't help but sneer: "I now know why everyone says that Huaxia people are not trustworthy, because they always use rhetoric to deceive our trust, even before they die, they don't change their nature." ”

Lin Zaishan immediately retorted: "My Huaxia has always been a country of etiquette, and we attach great importance to faith, please don't be prejudiced against all Chinese people because of the evil deeds of a few people who look like us." ”

"I dare to conclude that you are a villain until you die!" Joanna's words were unrelenting.

Lin Zaishan was too lazy to bother with her, so he picked up the roots of the tree given by Caroline and ate them deliciously.

"Forehead God, Mr. Zharin, are you eating your own fingers?" Mathilde, who had come to collect flowers and roots, asked with concern.

"Thank you for your concern, Aunt Mathilde, I'm fine."

"Mr. Zarin, without your participation, our work of collecting food has become doubly difficult." In the basket on Mathilde's back was a small half-miscellaneous piece of food. Before she could experience the joy of the harvest, several of the stronger coolies who had extorted food from Lin Zaishan rushed over, kicked her down, and then ransacked the basket.

Lin Zaishan looked at Joanna and the others who were watching from the sidelines, and mocked: "Is this your law-abiding and virtuous citizen?" ”

"They're just forced by hunger." Joanna argued.

"Can you snatch it if you're hungry?" Lin Zaishan said: "In our Chinese since ancient times, there has been a precept of 'starvation to death is small, and failure is big', although not anyone can do it, but there are indeed many people who adhere to this creed. ”

"Do you want to compete with us Mi people for moral conscience, Huaxia Monkey?" Joanna said angrily, "Speaking of philanthropists, although you Huaxia has a large population, it is not an order of magnitude with us at all. When it comes to people who are enthusiastic about public welfare and volunteerism, we can throw you 8 blocks. ”

"Let's put aside these pointless arguments and focus on the reality of the moment." Lin Zaishan said: "Let's start a contest to see if I, a Chinese person, can help others or you guys." By the way, in order not to let people say that I bully the small with the big and the women with the man, I will play against the three of you one by one. Do you dare to fight? ”

Joanna scoffed: "The Chinese are really good at bluffing. Looking at the way you are flying with bubbles in your mouth, I guess the North American buffalo will be blown into the sky by you. You don't want to think about how you can help others if you are locked in a cage? ”

Lin Zaishan said with a smile: "You underestimate me too much, don't say that I am locked in a cage, even if I go to the underworld, I can help people!" When he saw that the crowd did not believe him, he said to Mathilde: "If you move five meters in the direction of yourself at 10 o'clock, you should have a harvest below." ”

Mathilde had worked with Lin Zaishan for two days, and knowing his extraordinary skills and good personality, he was full of respect for him, and immediately did so, and sure enough, he dug up 5 giant peanuts. "Thank you, Mr. Zarin!" Five giant peanuts aren't worth a basket of groceries.

"I've done a good deed." Lin Zaishan said to Joanna, "It's time for you to behave." ”

Joanna reluctantly argued: "The rope we have made can be used to tie the raft and thus send all the people of the island to the mainland, which is a great merit." ”

"Really? I hope that the raft made of your rope will be strong enough, and that the kind Mr. Doult will allow you all to get on board. ”

At this time, Durt came over with a gun, "Ladies and gentlemen, have I allowed you to have a meeting at the workplace?" ”

The crowd hurriedly dispersed and went on with their work.

Durt was so curious when he saw the giant peanut in Mathilde's basket that he immediately broke open the hard shell, tasted it, and cursed, "What the hell is this?" Mathilde, I swear, if you dare to make these things into my lunch or dinner, I'll chop you into pate! ”

"Got it, Master Durt!" Mathilde agreed in trepidation.

Durt glared at Lin Zaishan again, and said, "Asian monkey, you just wait for the doomsday judgment." "Walk away.

//////

Lin Zaishan's absence directly affected Mathilde and Marianne, who not only immediately felt the heavy workload, but also had problems with dinner. After only two bites, Durt cursed and ordered all the food for the mob to be poured out to the coolies, and clamored that they should be chopped up and fed to the fish.

For the first time, the coolies caught such a large amount of dinner and rushed to eat it. Just when they thought Durt was kind, many people began to have stomachs aching and scrambled to relieve them. Although the diarrhea this time was not as bad as the last time, it still tortured them enough. The mob refused to let the coolies go to the latrine because they were troublesome, and some of the people who couldn't bear it had to settle the problem on the spot in the basement, so that the stench was everywhere, and the people locked in it were miserable.

At 23 o'clock in the night, except for a few thugs on duty, everyone fell asleep. Lin Zaishan in the cage calmed down and broke the iron lock with a sense of qi. This was the fourth reason he didn't say to Durt and the others yesterday: his aura had increased to a certain extent, and although he couldn't effectively kill enemies, he was good enough to scan things at close range and perform some subtle operations in the air, and the iron lock of the cage couldn't trap him anymore.

Lin Zaishan quietly jumped out of the cage, sneaked into the courtyard under the cover of darkness, and shrewdly evaded the thugs on duty to come to the bedroom where Durt was.

In the bedroom, Durt has not yet fallen asleep and is plotting with Joey.

"The main structure of the raft will be completed tomorrow, and it will be built the day after tomorrow at the latest." Joey said, "Boss, forgive my curiosity, I'm curious to know, how can we cross the sea safely?" ”

"Do you want to know the truth, Joey?" "The truth is: the only way I can think of is to feed the fish with meat," Durt said. ”

"Throw meat and feed the fish?"

"Yes. There are so many monsters in the strait that there is no way to dodge them. Since you can't dodge them, and you can't destroy them, you can only divert their attention. We have to prepare a lot of meat, and when the monsters of the sea find us, they lose no time in throwing it away. That way their attention will be distracted and they won't lock us in. We have a good chance of reaching the coast safely. ”

"Boss, you really have a good idea!" Joey thought for a moment and then asked, "But the meat of that super fish monster has been eaten by seabirds, and we don't have enough meat now, so how can we implement the plan of throwing meat and feeding the fish?" ”

"Who says no?" Durt smirked, "We'll open the rat hole tomorrow and hunt as many mice as we can; Also, when you really don't have meat, you can treat those stupid pigs as meat. ”

"I'll go! Boss, you're really bad! ”

"Ha, the heart is bad enough, the means are ruthless enough, this is our basic trick to survive in the last days. Joey, you're a clever ghost, I've seen your behavior these days, and I won't treat you badly. ”

"Thank you, Boss!"

//////

Lin Zaishan secretly scolded: "This Durt is really ruthless!" He kept me and didn't kill me, in addition to getting high-value information, most of them were also to use me as a meat bun at a critical moment. I have not yet recovered my strength, and I must be careful not to capsize in the gutter against this vicious mob. ”

For Lin Zaishan, it is imperative to obtain highly nutritious food to speed up the recovery of capacity. As long as the force can be restored to one-third of its heyday, it will be a matter of cleaning up all the corpses and rats of Durte and even the whole island.

He immediately sneaked into the kitchen, found a shovel and a kitchen knife, and then went out of the house, rummaging through the woods and hillsides, eating and drinking incessantly, and finally resisting the unbearable starvation that accompanied the rapid recovery of his body.

"It's so cool. Consuming so much nutrients is enough to restore my ability to about 20% of the original ability, although it is not enough to ensure that I can take out the thugs hard, but at least it has increased my self-protection ability. Am I setting up some traps? ”

At this time, the sky was already bright, and the sound of people's activities could be heard in the courtyard, and it was no longer possible to carry out secret activities. Lin Zaishan decided not to attract attention for the time being, so he returned to the cage with some roots, flowers and plants, and giant peanuts.

No sooner had he reverted to his trademark languid posture than Doult walked out of the house with a few thugs.

"Let all the stupid pigs hurry to the construction site! Today I'm going to see the full raft! Leave a few brothers to watch over these stupid pigs, and the rest of me will go mouse hunting! ”

Durt passed by Lin Zaishan's side and made a gesture of wiping his neck: "Asian monkey, although I like your clown show very much, but tonight, I'm afraid I have to kill you, and then feed your meat to the fish." ”

"Feed the fish with human flesh, Durt, you really have a good idea, very gentlemanly!" Lin Zaishan scoffed.

//////

The thugs set up crossbows and bows outside the rat hole, ambushed the people, put fish meat outside the hole, and then removed the large rocks blocking the hole.

A few minutes later, a group of huge rats drilled out of the hole, and Durt and the others fired crossbows and arrows in unison, killing 3 and capturing 2 at once. They did so, and by noon they had hunted 15 mice.

At the same time, the coolies also built the raft preliminarily, leaving only some details to work.

Ignoring his lunch, Durt ran over and looked the raft up and down in ecstasy, and praised it again and again: "Very good! We can finally cross the sea. ”

Joey advised, "Boss, the raft is not as good as it is now: we still need rudders and oars; In order to make better use of the wind, it may be necessary to install a small sail; In addition, to make sure that the raft is strong enough, we have to prepare more ropes to tie it up; If you want to carry a lot of meat, you will have to add some parts for carrying goods; And to ensure the balance of the overall structure. ”

"Ha, Joey, you are worthy of my right and left hand, how about I appoint you the captain of this raft?"

"Thank you, Captain, Joey for reporting to you."

"Give you a day and a night, and by noon tomorrow at the latest, you have to solve all the problems just mentioned!"

"Don't worry."

Mathilde and Marianne came up to Durt and said, "Sir, there is no meat left in the kitchen. We can't prepare lunch and dinner for you as we normally would. ”

"How about I provide you with rats, and you can use them to make 2 delicious meals?"

"No!" The two women panicked: "We don't know how to process rats, and eating rat meat makes a lot of people feel uneasy, and they will have emotions." ”

"You just don't tell everyone it's rat meat. What's more, in my personal experience, rat meat is also a good delicacy. ”

"This ......"

"If you don't go, I'll use you two as ingredients!"

"Yes, yes!" The two women left in a panic.

//////

For the rest of the day, everyone spent the day hungry and busy. Only Lin Zaishan sat leisurely in the cage, and from time to time he secretly ate the giant peanuts and flowers he had secretly hidden, and even drank the juice of the roots.

A hungry coolie passing by noticed Lin Zaishan's small movements and shouted, "Mr. Durt, someone is hiding food!" ”

When Durt heard this, he immediately rushed over with a gun on his shoulder, "Which stupid pig who is not afraid of death dares to steal my grain?" ”

Several coolies pointed to Lin Zaishan together.

"It's you Asian monkey again!" Durt looked at the hard shell of the giant peanut on the ground and picked up his gun.

Lin Zaishan glanced at the muzzle of the black hole, looked up to the sky at a 45-degree angle, and said in a rather deep tone: "The wind is coming!" ”

"Whew", a cool breeze blew. Everyone looked at each other.

"The rain is coming!" Lin Zaishan chanted loudly again.

A light rain the size of beans crackled down on everyone, and Durt's bald head was especially wet.

"Guys, do you want me to shout another shot or sword?" Lin Zaishan asked with a smile.

"Witchcraft! It's witchcraft! This Asian monkey is doing sorcery! Someone shouted in horror.

Durt fired a shot into the air, shocking everyone, "Zhalin, I didn't expect you to really predict the weather. ”

"There's so much more you can't think of."

"Tell me, what's the weather like tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow will be a sunny day, with a southwest wind of 4-6, which is especially suitable for crossing the sea to the east." Lin Zaishan replied.

"Very well, I have decided to let you go, reinstate your position as head chef, and you will be in charge of preparing the food for the last night for everyone."

After Lin Zaishan landed, Durt whispered in his ear: "Now the main ingredient is rats, do you have a way to process it so that everyone can't tell it?" ”

"I'll make a nice beef dinner for everyone." Lin Zaishan said with a smile.

//////

Dinner didn't start until 8 p.m. that night. The dinner was so delicious that not only did the coolies and thugs eat so much, but even Doult himself couldn't resist tempting to eat several large bowls.

"Zhalin, are you sure this is a dinner made of rat meat?" Durt asked Lin Zaishan in a whisper where no one was around.

"It's true, the hind leg meat, rat butt and peanut seedlings you eat are the most nutritious parts, and you are really blessed."

Durt's psychological quality or psychopathology is extraordinary, and he was not moved by Lin Zaishan's words at all, and said with a smile: "Very good!" If my post-apocalyptic hotel chain is opened, I will definitely hire you as the head chef. ”

"Let me first state that I refuse to process human flesh."

Durt patted Lin Zaishan on the shoulder and asked, "Zhalin, I know that you are very knowledgeable and capable, can you tell me how to ensure that the raft can cross the sea safely?" ”

Lin Zaishan smiled secretly in his heart, and said, "Are you sure you want to use a raft to cross the sea, not repair the ship?" You know, the latter is faster and safer. ”

"Don't even think about repairing ships." Durt said categorically: "With these stupid pigs, there is only one dead end to go to the north of the island." ”

"If you have to cross the sea on a raft, then my advice is threefold: first, try to coat the people on the raft with mud and the juice of specific plants as much as possible, so as to cover the breath of life and avoid attracting the attention of the monsters in the sea; The second point is to install a crossbow-bow on the raft, and when in danger, sniping some monsters remotely can temporarily divert the attention of other monsters; Thirdly, prepare more rat meat, which can be tossed when the fish monster entangles the raft to ease the pursuit. ”

"You're saying a great job!" Durt's praise was sincere, and the first and second two items that Lin Zaishan said were all things he didn't expect.

Lin Zaishan originally wanted to trap Durt, but considering that there were many innocent people who would follow him tomorrow, he didn't want to hurt many people because he wanted to punish Durt alone, so he still told him the tips he knew to cross the sea safely.

//////

The next morning, under the coercion of the mob, the people worked hard again to finally complete the various elements needed for the raft.

"Put the raft in the sea and park next to the rock." "Let's have lunch first, and we'll leave at 13 o'clock in the afternoon!" ”

Of course, lunch was prepared by Lin Zaishan, Mathilde, and Marianne, and the content was still rat meat. Due to Lin Zaishan's extraordinary cooking skills, except for a few people such as Durt, none of them could detect that it was rat meat.

Everyone could not contain their excitement at lunch, even the coolies. They had been trapped on the island for too long, and they had long since become unbearable, and would rather follow Durt on an adventure than rot here any longer; What's more, as long as you go to the mainland, there will always be a chance to escape.

"Everyone, put the goods and useful things on the raft first." Durt deliberately said to the coolies: "I swear, as soon as you arrive in Los Angeles, I will give you back your freedom." All your grievances will be gone. ”

"Is this true?"

"Of course!"

The coolies rejoiced, and worked hard against all odds, and soon transferred their belongings to the raft.

"Boss, our raft looks like it can hold up to 30 people."

"Are you sure? Ah, this is not what I expected. In this way, wouldn't we have to carry a lot less 'meat'? ”

"Boss, if the camouflage that the Asian monkeys are talking about had worked, we might not have to eat as much meat at all."

"It really works, I tried it with the corpse of a disguised mouse in the morning, and it took a long time for the monsters to find it when it was thrown into the sea."

"Then what are you hesitating about?"

"Then let's be a little more ruthless." Durt smirked.

//////

On Durt's orders, the thugs gathered all the coolies. Durt walked past the men one by one, and whoever was in the picture pulled Joey to the other side. Soon, 14 people were selected.

Durt walked up to Caroline, grabbed her by the collar and said, "Little beauty, don't move, come with me obediently." ”

Caroline took a big bite on Durt's arm, screamed in pain, and put Caroline down. He was furious, pulled out a pistol from Joey's waist and aimed it at Caroline and scolded: "Little bitch, you don't want to give you a chance to live, then go to hell!" ”

Durt pulled the trigger, but the pistol didn't go off. He was surprised, and Lin Zaishan persuaded: "Durt, your paradise is right in front of you, why bother with these poor people?" ”

Durt turned his face and asked, "Smart Asian monkey, did you choose this time to show yourself because you wanted me to take you with you?" ”

Lin Zaishan said with a smile: "I'm used to being lazy, and I'm not as fascinated by the paradise of Los Angeles as you are." And I don't want to be thrown into the sea like a meat bun in the middle of the boat. ”

"Are you hiding some secrets from me?" Durt turned his gun on Lin Zaishan.

"There's a little secret." Lin Zaishan decided to shift Durt's attention from killing people to other matters, "If I'm not mistaken, the current Los Angeles must be full of zombies, and there are as many level 5+ zombies as rats." When you arrive, you will be greeted by the corpses. ”

"Shut up!" Durt immediately stopped Lin Zaishan's remarks. "Come on, put this guy in the cage again!"

In the midst of everyone's ridicule, schadenfreude, disgust and sympathy, Lin Zaishan was once again hoisted high.

"Asian monkey, how are you feeling right now?"

"I feel great. The view here is very open. Lin replied lazily.

"I've heard that you cook rat meat for us." Durt said suddenly.

"What?" The thugs and coolies were all taken aback, "Is this true?" This Asian monkey is so bad! ”

"Lao Du, how can you be so unkind?" Lin Zaishan asked.

Durt laughed, "If you dare to do something bad, you must dare to accept punishment!" He attached a walkie-talkie to the cage and said, "Torturing and playing with you has been a rare pleasure for me in the last few days." I will hear your cry of despair at the moment of crossing the sea. He turned to the crowd and asked; Are you satisfied with my punishment for hoisting this Asian monkey? ”

The vast majority of people echoed together: "Satisfied! Great! ”

"In order to ensure your safety during the voyage, I need to tie you up first, and when we reach the other side, I will release you." ”

At his command, the mob smeared the smaller ones that had just been picked out with mud and plant juice and took them to the beach, while the others were tied up to the trees in the grove.

"Mr. Durt, why are you tying us here?" Jimmy asked aloud.

"Want to hear the truth?" "The truth is that our raft can't hold that many people, so we have to leave you here to die." If you have nothing to do, please pray for us to cross the sea safely. ”

"No!" The coolies who were left behind cried out and pleaded loudly.

Caroline said, "Durt, you can leave us behind, but at least give me free hands." Otherwise we will starve to death or be eaten by animals! ”

"Little beauty, it's too late for you to beg me now, my interest has shifted to Los Angeles Paradise, and I have no interest in women for the time being. Bye-bye and have a great island life! Durt beckoned and walked away, leaving the coolies crying hoarsely in place.

"Sure enough, he is a model citizen of Los Angeles." Lin Zaishan in the cage said with a smile.
