The gunfire was actually very small, but it was very quiet on the island, and there was not a hint of wind, so they still heard it very well.

"Are you sure it's gunshots?" Su Huilan still asked, in this regard, Petru is an expert.

Petru nodded in affirmation, looked at a few birds flying in the woods in the distance and said: "It sounds like a large-caliber pistol, probably an M29, judging from the density of the jungle in front and the flock of startled birds, it is less than two kilometers away from us." ”

“M29？”

Su Huilan remembered that the scientific research ship was equipped with a batch of firearms, because the scientific research ship often had to go to uninhabited areas infested with wild beasts for research missions, but most of the people engaged in scientific research did not know how to use complex firearms, so they were specially equipped with a batch of shotguns and large-caliber pistols that could kill wild beasts.

"It seems that there are not only wild people on the island, but also modern people, and the howling we heard just now may be the alarm that the wild people have found someone intruding." "The gunfire shows that they are fired, and we have to be more careful," Petrux said. ”

Aoki agreed with him, saying, "The situation is more complicated than imagined, but it may also be developing in the direction we want, and we should not take the liberty of doing it until we have a friend or foe." I think it is necessary to formulate a set of action plans, such as who will lead the three people, how to cooperate with each other, and how to deal with different situations. ”

The crow overhead exclaimed, "It's rare for you to be so awake." ”

Su Huilan smiled: "Is he often not sober? ”

The crow tilted his head and thought for a while and said, "Sober or sober, but my memory is too poor, probably because I am lazy." ”

Next, they discussed the follow-up actions, and since everyone was smart and there was nothing to argue about, they quickly settled on a set of plans.

Three people, plus cats and crows, formed an action group.

Mental strength aside, Petru has the strongest combat ability, and he has experience in jungle special operations, so Aoki and Su Huilan agreed that he would command most of the next operations.

The crow uses its high-altitude vision to find its way first, and although the island doesn't look like Lapa Island is full of birds, a crow flying over it probably won't arouse suspicion.

Although it has eaten itself like a standard fat house meow, it still has a strong physical fitness that has survived the cat killing order, and with the natural instinct of felines, it can play a good warning role in the dense forest where crows can't see.

Petru taught everyone some simple sign language postures and developed a set of codes, such as crows and cats making different frequencies in different situations.

They made it clear that they would avoid the wild man if they could, try not to have a head-on confrontation, and at the same time find a way to figure out the identity of the modern man who fired the gun.

Finally, Aoki emphasized: "When there is fog on the island, everyone must gather together and not leave each other's sight, the fog on this island is very strange." ”

Everything was agreed, and according to the plan, the crows would fly out first to investigate the situation within two kilometers ahead.

Aoki put the coal boss on his arm, stroked its feathers with his other hand, and said, "Be careful, don't fly too far, you are my best friend, your life is my life!" ”

The crow had never heard such sensational words, and it was speechless for a while, and its eyes moistened: "Oh, don't talk like that, I'm about to cry!" ”

Su Huilan smiled: "Okay, don't show off you two old men!" ”

The coal boss flapped his wings and flew up, saying, "Don't worry, I have to go back to eat the sauce elbow made of flowers...... Before his words fell, his body was already in the sky, circled, and then plunged into the dense forest.

After a while, it flew out of the dense forest again, stopped on a tall branch at the edge of the forest, and croaked.

Aoki knew that the sound meant that everything was normal ahead, and he nodded to Petru and Su Huilan, and the three of them each picked up their equipment and walked through the mudflats into the forest.

When the raven had entered the woods, it flew up again and disappeared.

The woods were not dense at first, with large rocks and bare earth, but after a while, all that remained was thick leaf litter and dense bushes.

Peacefully kept a distance of about thirty meters from them and led the way ahead. It walked cautiously, its paws falling silently, its eyes staring vigilantly ahead, and it didn't look at all like the fat cat that held the fish dry and didn't let go, but a bit like the king of the jungle.

Even if there was a sound in front of him, Petru was not at ease, picked up a branch, and gently tapped the thorns along the way, testing the traps and hidden poisonous insects.

Su Huilan thought it was funny, imagining the last time Petru ran back with his bare butt, thinking that it was impossible to be as cautious as in front of him, probably that encounter with a wild man frightened him.

At this time, I heard the crow of the crow again, indicating that the front was safe. After about ten seconds, the crow crowned again. Call at an interval of ten seconds, this is a pre-arranged situation, and you have to say it in person.

They walked two or three hundred meters forward, and the crow fluttered down from the tree next to them and landed on the top of Aoki.

Aoki asked, "What's the situation?" ”

"I see the lake, in the distance, probably ...... Forehead....... The crow waved its wings, as if trying to tell the length of the distance, but the undulating mountains and forests made the distance on the ground vague in a bird's mind.

Aoki estimated that it was not far away, and remembered that Petru had said that he had seen the lake on a high ground, so he asked, "Is there a high mountain in front of you where you can see the lake?" ”

The crow pointed to the front of the right with his wings and said, "Yes, there is one in front, a little bit over that side." ”

Aoki looked at Petru, since the command of the group was handed over to Petru, he should listen to him.

Petru nodded and said, "Then go over there, go to the high ground, and I can tell if it is the place I came last time." ”

"I'll go over there first, and you go slowly." The coal boss said and flew away.

They walked in the direction the crow pointed, and it wasn't long before the crow cries out for safety.

The path in the woods became more and more difficult, and Petru stopped abruptly, and gently brushed away the leaves in front of him with the branch in his hand.

Underneath the thick foliage peeked out many horizontal branches and branches, and underneath that was a pit. I walked over from it just now, but because of the cat's light weight, if it were a human, it would definitely fall into the pit.

Petru removed the branches and found that the bottom of the pit was filled with sharpened wood, the same pit he had laid out on the island of Tubuai. He knew very well in his heart that the trap he had set was to deal with the people who were going to kill him, but what were the people on this island setting such a trap for?

He pinched a little dirt from the edge of the pit with his fingers, put it to his mouth, sniffed it, and said, "The old pit was dug at least a year ago." Digging such a large pit is either used against large beasts or against enemies. We didn't find any droppings or traces of life of the big beasts along the way, indicating that the wild people on the island did not encounter the enemy recently. ”

"Then it's likely that there is more than one primitive tribe here!" Su Huilan said.

As soon as she finished speaking, there was another crow cry in front of her—quack, quack.

By convention, this is a signal that someone has been found.
