602, the hope of going home
Eventually, they decided to take Dewar's suggestion and talk to the Itessians first.
Dewar volunteered to invite her, believing that they would not hurt her, even before she had obtained the Spirit of the Wind, as the wildlings treated her as a respectful guest.
Aoki asked the coal boss to follow her all the way, and come back to report any accidents at any time.
Taking advantage of this time, they tried the cannon. Petru controlled the cannon, and Boris and Ivan were in charge of the transmission of the gun chain. It was very difficult, and it was clear that the frame was not very strong, and the barrel of the gun shook badly, but the bullet was still fired.
This kind of 30mm cannon cannons can't be called bullets to be precise, but cannonballs, and the M789 high-explosive shells do explode, and their power makes them dare not easily hit the parts on this "old" battleship that has experienced the deep well of time and space, for fear of damaging the only "home" that can accommodate them. But they couldn't see the power in the water, so they decided to go ashore and try it, and there was plenty of ammunition anyway.
Ivan went to the cabin to find some materials to reinforce the wheeled car. Then, with great difficulty, the group used the ship's hinges to lift hundreds of pounds of cannons and shells from the side of the ship into the boat.
Once ashore, they pushed their cannons to a high ground and fired two shots at the opposite hillside. With a few clicks, the M789 high-explosive bomb exploded at the target 500 meters away, splashing large clouds of debris and dust. Frightened birds flew up from the forest and fluttered in the sky.
“WOW! Powerful enough! "The rate of fire is about 100 rounds per minute, which is enough for a battalion of Itessians in such a primitive place." ”
Several men cheered on the beach, as if they had won a battle.
The victory was followed by celebrations, they hid their cannons in the bushes, and then went to pick some wild fruits, catch some fish, and go back to the deck for a barbecue.
It looks like the sun never seems to set. This makes people lose the ability to judge the time, and they don't know if it's time to eat, and their stomachs are already rumbling anyway.
Lying on the deck with a weak breath, his tail moving, staring at the grilled fish on the fire. It may be very hungry, and as soon as the fish is roasted, it pounces on it, grabs one with its left paw, one with its right paw, and one in its mouth, for fear that it will not have to eat.
Anderson, who was in charge of grilling the fish, smiled: "You have something to eat!" As he spoke, he threw away a fish in his hand, jumped up soundly, and grabbed the fish in one bite.
"Yo Ho, look at you like Garfield, jumping so high!" Boris also thought it was funny, and threw a fish over, and jumped up and bit it again.
Petru had seen the power of a white cat and warned: "Don't play with it, you can't afford to mess with this cat!" After speaking, he took a fish from the fire and gently put it in front of the cat, "Eat it slowly, it won't be missing you." ”
Meow at him soundly. For some reason, Petrux suddenly felt that this cat was so familiar, as if he had raised it when he was a child and then lost it.
Boris took out the wine again, and everyone divided a little. After a full meal, everyone rested on the deck. The three big suns in the sky are shining, although the real feeling of the body is fine, but mentally I always think that there is a heat wave coming, which makes people very irritable. But everyone was waiting for news from Dewar, and no one wanted to hide in the cabin.
"It's coming, it's coming! They're coming! The crow flew back, and the old man cried like that.
Probably smelling the aroma of grilled fish, it fell down excitedly, but saw a lot of leftover bones, and shouted angrily and aggrievedly: "Quack, you actually secretly ate while I was away!" Quack, don't leave me some! ”
Boris slapped his head: "Oops, I really forgot about you!" ”
The crow became more and more aggrieved, and desperately scratched Aoki's head: "Quack, you wood, have you forgotten me?" ”
Aoki smiled: "Don't worry about me, someone is thinking about you!" ”
The crow turned his head and saw that he was standing there wagging its tail at him, meowing and meowing, and beneath it was a bunch of fish, each of which was intact and had not eaten a single bite.
"Wow!" The coal boss jumped over and patted his head with his wings, "Hello!" I didn't hurt you in vain! ”
A bird and a cat gathered around a pile of fish and chirped and ate.
Aoki walked over gently, put a water cup next to them, and took out a few fruits from his pocket and put them on the ground, "Eat slowly, be careful of fish bones!" ”
……
Dewar is back, but she's alone.
"They are willing to talk to us, but they are not willing to come on this boat," she said. They think that this great ship is a den of the devil, and that you were sent by God to save them, but since you have been on this ship, you have been deceived by the devil to destroy the altar of God. They are willing to talk to us in the valley ahead, where you have fought, but only the three of us will be allowed to pass. ”
Situ said, "Okay, then let's go and talk, and the others stay on the boat." ”
Petru said, "Can't I go too?" ”
Boris looked at the half of the fire soul in his hand and laughed and joked: "People obviously think you're too short, hahaha......"
Alice was disgusted by Boris's foul language, and said worriedly, "Those savages can't have any conspiracy, right?" ”
Aoki said, "No, their consciousness can't fool us. ”
"It's better to be prepared, we're going to have a cannon, we're going to put it up the hill, and if something happens, it's okay to respond," Anderson said. ”
Situ nodded and said, "It's okay, then the four of you are guarding the machine guns on the mountain, and we will ask Mr. Raven to communicate with you in any case." Professor Su will stay on the ship and protect Madame and Miss Alice. ”
Everyone nodded in agreement and went their separate ways.
After they disembarked in a small boat, Aoki, Situ, and Dewar headed towards the valley where they had fought the previous day, while Petru, Anderson, Ivan, and Boris burrowed into the dense forest where the cannons were hidden.
After passing through the camp of the old savages, we entered the valley.
The priests of the three savage tribes were already waiting in the valley. Aoki knew two of them, the oldest one who was most familiar, and it was Kuberta, the leader of the Sanchi tribe.
For the Kuberta and Sanchi tribes, Aoki has a more complicated heart. The Soul of Wood was given to him by Kuberta, and since the day he got it, the people of the Sanchi tribe have regarded him as a god. And when he extended the tentacles of consciousness to the entire tribe through the soul of wood, he also vaguely accepted the fact that those wild people were his people.
However, Gaia's legend aside, Cohen's last words aside, these three tribes have really been hostile to humans, and only the Sanchi tribe has caused harm to humans. They killed the seamen, ate Professor Pardic, kidnapped Mrs. Larry, all under Alice's nose, and it was no wonder she hated them.
In contrast, Stuto's control of Mantystone was tortuous but not realistic, and Dewar was directly treated as a VIP by the Urakan people.
If it weren't for what happened to Alice and Lady Larry, if he had gotten his hands on the Wood Soul earlier, the conflict between them and the Itessians might not have been so great.
Aoki has always felt that Ronald Cohen's words are not to be believed, although it has been confirmed that it was the Itessians who destroyed the altar and the earth's spiritual force field, causing most earthlings to lose the ability to awaken spiritually, which is equivalent to reducing the perception ability of one dimension.
But that was 10,000 years ago! Who knows if it's good or bad, and what's the point for humanity right now?
Of course, Aoki has no evidence to prove that Ronald Cohen's words are false, and he is willing to believe that activating the altar and activating the mental force field is beneficial to humanity. At least, he saw hope of returning home.
