Chapter 3: The Witcher Islands
Mu Qiutang is very beautiful, gentle and charming, and people with good looks usually give a good first impression to others, not to mention that the young woman's words are very sincere and sincere.
She quickly recruited a few younger boys and a small number of bright women.
Beautiful looks may be a kind of capital in modern civilized society, but in a pirate-infested lawless zone is a disaster, as a vulnerable group, they are keenly aware of this, and it is undoubtedly a good choice to turn to Mu Qiutang, who is also a woman.
Mu Qiutang is not as optimistic as she seems, she also thinks about the problem of water and food, after all, the amount of fresh water and food that sixty people need to consume every day is an amazing amount, maybe the small beasts on the island can solve the urgent need, but the question is how many of these newcomers know how to hunt?
That's a technical job.
Out of the corner of her eye, she accidentally glanced at Sophie and the cuttlefish walking towards the jungle, and hurriedly ran forward and asked, "Wait, where are you going?" Because the young woman did not suppress her voice, many of the newlyweds looked at this side, and now when the young man and woman were about to leave, they all projected doubtful, mocking, curious, thoughtful eyes.
The two stopped, and the redfish didn't even bother to turn around, and raised her round and delicate chin towards Sophie, motioning for him to explain.
Sophie turned around and looked at Mu Qiutang and the newcomers not far away, shook her head and said: "Lack of water and food, I'm afraid we won't be able to survive even two days, the area of this island is not small, there should be a lot of small animals living on it, I plan to try our luck with her, there will be no food to fall off while sitting here." ”
"In addition, I have better go to the outskirts of the jungle and clear a temporary camp, dozens of people gathered on the beach is a conspicuous target, pirates not only like to plunder, but also good at the slave trade, you don't want to be kept like pigs and dogs in the future."
"Remember to sweep away the traces on the sand before evacuating."
"It's not a low temperature right now, but I still hope that you can build some simple shelter from the rain with the leaves and branches that resemble palm leaves, considering that we don't have any effective medicine on hand, if anyone unfortunately catches a cold or burns or catches some sudden illness, I don't need to say much."
"There may be some of you who like to watch wilderness survival shows and books, please calm down and use what you have learned to help everyone."
"We're going to live on the Witcher Islands for four months, and we don't have soft and clean beds, and we can't call for food, so please abandon your peaceful and comfortable habits, and don't complain about others, complaining that others know more than you, that you are not crippled, nor are you mentally retarded, because the greatest advantage of human beings is that they know how to imitate and learn."
Sophie finished speaking in one breath and left with the redfish, leaving the newcomers with stunned faces.
Mu Qiutang silently kept this admonition in her heart, usually she has to go to work and work hard to make money, and all the rest time is devoted to her two daughters, how can she have the leisure to read books and programs on survival in the wild, or many people here are the same, life, study and work occupy most of the time in life, unless you are really interested or dabbled in a wide range, otherwise who will calm down to learn some knowledge and skills that you can't use on weekdays, and it is better to play a few more games in this free time.
"The current child is really amazing, get to know Zhou Bingcheng."
A bald strong man in his thirties came to Mu Qiutang's side, looked at the smaller and smaller backs of Sophie and the cuttlefish, and sighed regretfully, those two people were much more powerful than these cumbersome teammates around them, if they didn't have some concerns, even they wanted to leave with them.
It's safe to get a few dozen people together, but without fresh water and food, this makeshift team, which doesn't even trust each other, will soon fall apart.
"Do you have any ideas?" Mu Qiutang glanced at the man beside him, frowning slightly.
The other party must have a purpose in choosing this time to come up and talk.
"Just like the two children said just now, we should do our best to understand and integrate everyone's profession and ability, and assign each person's responsibilities, otherwise let them quarrel aimlessly like this, I'm afraid we will have to starve on the beach tonight." Zhou Bingcheng retracted the expression on his face and said in a deep voice.
"Let's unite a few more people and convince them together."
Modern people have a lot of careful thinking, and they are also very confident and proud, especially those young people who are impulsive and like to be strong, it is difficult to accept the command of a stranger before experiencing setbacks, Zhou Bingcheng has self-knowledge, and he alone cannot persuade dozens of newcomers with their own thoughts.
Mu Qiutang nodded after thinking about it, and his mature and charming beautiful face was solemn.
It is a medium-sized island with an overall area of more than 40,000 square kilometers, and the environment on the island is similar to the tropical jungle of the earth.
The deeper you go into the forest, the more dangerous it becomes, not only from the terrain of deadly species such as poisonous snakes, spiders, wild beasts, man-eating plants, swamps, etc., but also to face a sense of disorientation, and it is easy for ordinary people to get lost in the jungle without professional knowledge and experience.
The two silently roamed through the rugged jungle, leaving imperceptible footprints on the ground.
Even though he maintained such a vigorous movement, the scarlet fish still had the strength to ask Sophie, who was exploring the path in front of him, curiously, "I thought you would just say a few perfunctory sentences." ”
Those pampered newcomers were a burden and waste in her eyes, and they were of no use at all.
"My mother warned me since I was a child that I can't be too selfless, that will make myself and my relatives around me very tired, and I can't be too selfish, otherwise people will slowly become cold-blooded and ruthless." Sophie paused and was silent for a few seconds, thinking about the explanation given that she would be working with the cuttlefish for the next four months, and that she couldn't be too distant as a companion.
"I have said everything that needs to be said, whether to listen or not to listen is their business, and I will only try my best to help them within my ability."
On the leafy tree, a poisonous snake stared at the two humans below with cold and cruel snake eyes, its body tense like a bow, and suddenly shot towards the young human male.
"It's not like an Assassin's education." The black red fish suddenly took a few steps to Sophie's side, unhurriedly raised his white and tender hand, accurately grabbed the emerald green viper that was only ten centimeters away from his neck, and pinched it with skill on seven inches, and the poisonous snake that was about to struggle to bite suddenly went limp.
"It looks like it's more aggressive than the snakes on Earth."
The cuttlefish threw away the viper corpse in his hand and whispered to himself.
"It can't bite me." Sophie turned around and looked at the beautiful black girl with a slight side of his body, but the scarlet fish seemed to show that she didn't trust him.
"I know you can get out of the way, but I'd rather see how angry you look." The body of the cuttlefish leaned forward slightly, and the pair wrapped in sportswear was huge. The breasts outlined an astonishing arc, and the inky eyes looked at Sophie's delicate face, and the moist pink lips rose upward.
"The aunt who can say that shouldn't teach you this character."
Obviously two or three years younger than her, but her personality is dull and unspeakable, it is understandable to say that she has received an assassin education since she was a child, but the cuttlefish is keenly aware that the other party has not undergone that kind of cruel cultivation.
She's curious.
"Put away your curiosity, I'm only a temporary alliance with you." Sophie turned her head slightly and replied, a little unable to stand the eyes of the red fish, the invisible oppressive force was just like his sister, and there was no way to refuse.
"Okay." The redfish turned his head sideways to look at Sophie, who seemed a little embarrassed, his eyebrows curled up, and he withdrew his gaze to no longer force him, anyway, if nothing else, there will be a lot of time to get to know him slowly in the future.
It's not good to rush it.
"Then where are we going to get food next, I should be fine with you catching some beasts to fill your stomach."
Sophie regained his cold appearance, he pointed to a collapsed fern under the bushes not far in front of him, and said in a cold voice: "This is not left by wild beasts, there are no footprints and smells of them on the surrounding soil, there should be a pirate stronghold or refuge hiding place on the island, the time on the island is only three days, they are very experienced, and they have not left any obvious footprints along the way." ”
"But I'm more inclined to the latter, if it's a rest base to replenish supplies, they don't have to be so careful."
The principle of the Three Caves of the Cunning Rabbit is common in any world, and any pirate group that wanders within the Witcher Islands will prepare at least one storage point for supplies, which may not be needed in normal times, but can come in handy in times of emergency.
"You saw them when you were on the beach? Yes, if it rained in the previous two days, there would be no trace on the beach and in the jungle. When it comes to business, the expression of the cuttlefish gradually turned cold, and from the humid and hot environment between the jungles, it can be inferred that the Wuser Islands are a hot and rainy area, and it is impossible to rain only once every ten days and half a month.
"Do you know how many people there are?"
"The exact number is not clear, and I have not learned professional scout skills."
Sophie looked into the depths of the jungle where the occasional ray of sunlight passed through, narrowed her eyes and said, "But I'm sure there are no more than five of them." "The more people there are, the harder it is to clean up the traces they leave behind, especially in primeval forests full of dense vegetation, and it's normal to accidentally step on a fern and break off a tiny branch.
"Kill them." The scarlet fish said coldly.
Sophie nodded slightly, and chased after the pirate's trail with the scarlet.
Neither of them is the kind of pretentious character, since they chose to enter Alcatraz, it means that they have voluntarily embarked on a road of iron and blood, and there is nothing to regret, only to kill words.
Just as Sophie had guessed.
There is a pirate hiding place or material storage point on the island, which is enough food for seven or eight people to consume for two years, and ten years ago, a small leader asked a trainee wizard to bless the sealing spell and secretly transported it to the island with his cronies, which is the old habit of all pirate leaders, in case of emergency, maybe they will not be needed in this life until they die in battle.
Ivan has been in a very mixed mood lately.
A few days ago, he plundered a merchant ship and looted a lot of high-quality goods, but he did not expect that there was a kind of cargo inside.
Recently, Igny, the death row prisoner, has let out the rumors that he wants to hang the pirates who robbed this merchant ship with his own hands, whoever can send them to himself, he can make a request to himself that is not too much, and the pirate groups and adventurers of the entire Witch Islands are boiling after learning the news, it is a pirate king's promise, and the reputation of the death row prisoner Igni is a first-class good in the southern seas, and the southern seas have also been lively again recently because of this matter.
Ivan had just heard the wind and was so frightened that he hid on the island overnight with a few cronies.
As for whether the rest of the men on the ship are dead or alive, it is none other than if these cronies had not participated in the transportation of materials together back then, knew the specific storage location of the materials, and the time was pressing, Ivan might have abandoned (slaughtered) them, pirates have never been good men and women.
Those cronies also seemed to sense something, and secretly gradually became wary of him.
