Chapter 32 Tourist Congress
At eight o'clock in the evening, under the organization of Han Feng and others, the first congress of all passengers of the Neptune cruise ship was finally held on time.
Nearly 100 delegates attended the scene, and even some Japanese and Koreans who could speak Chinese also came.
At the meeting, they first made arrangements for tonight's duty, and each place arranged for strong male tourists to take turns to guard, so as to prevent those long-headed natives from attacking at night.
At the same time, everyone also made an emergency plan, once the natives really attacked, what should they do?
After discussing these matters, everyone began to discuss the crucial question of whether to stay on the island and wait for rescue, or to return to the cruise ship on time according to the instructions broadcast by the cruise ship.
However, no one at the scene had any objections to this issue. It was agreed that we had to go back to the cruise.
Just like Uncle Hou said before, they would rather starve to death on the cruise ship than become a meal on the plate of those long-headed natives.
Once you have the same goals, the rest is much easier. There was only one last question left, and that was: how do you get back on the cruise?
The island was divided into two parts by the river, and now they were isolated on the side of the whale factory, and there were only two routes to choose from to get back to the cruise: a dry road and a water road.
Dry road, naturally, refers to the road that everyone takes when they come. However, if they want to return the way they came, they will have to encounter those terrible natives.
The waterway is to swim or make a bamboo raft along the coast, and then return to the cruise ship along the sea route. However, since one side of the island is full of steep and high cliffs, the road is more dangerous.
First, there are too many tourists, and it is impossible to make a sufficient number of bamboo rafts in a short period of time;
Second, they had been hungry for nearly fourteen days, and if they only relied on swimming, I am afraid that no one would have such good physical strength;
Third, no one has ever walked the sea road on the edge of the cliff, and no one knows what the situation is there. If they encounter natives from the sea, it will be a catastrophe for them!
Therefore, considering the above factors, everyone decided that returning from land was the right choice. While it was possible to encounter the natives head-on, at least they already knew the general terrain and wouldn't run around like they had done before.
Moreover, if everyone joins forces and fights with the natives, the chances of success will undoubtedly be greater.
At this point, there was basically no objection from everyone, and they all agreed.
But then, there was some disagreement about where to return from the land, and when to choose to return.
Due to the different routes taken by the people before, there was a heated debate about which way to return from the land.
Some people believe that the road that clings to the cliff is the closest and most time-saving. But someone on the spot retorted that the road was full of huge rocks, and people with good physical strength could still pass through, but what about those old and weak women and children?
There are also people who believe that you should go to the middle, and the middle is a dense mountain forest, and it is easy to hide in the mountain forest. Han Feng denied this person's statement on the spot, because he had come from the middle of the forest before, and he said that there were the most organs in the forest, and it was easy to be surrounded by enemies, so he must not leave!
In the end, it was still a nonsense idea, which was recognized by most people! Hu Kai believes that the best way to return to the cruise ship should be the one he took when he came.
For this, he lists three reasons:
First, a large slope has collapsed on the edge of the cliff, from which it is the most time-saving and labor-saving to rush to the island six or seven meters high.
Second, after going up, the creek is full of open space, and it is impossible to encounter the traps laid by the enemy.
Third, the terrain is relatively open, and once you encounter the enemy, you can take advantage of the numerical advantage and rush through the defense line of the natives.
As soon as the three reasons came out, everyone nodded yes.
Therefore, after voting by a show of hands, everyone finally adopted Hu Kai's proposal.
After this proposal was adopted, the last question about when to return was also easily solved.
There is no doubt that it took about three hours for Hu Kai to come, and if it was a group of hundreds of people, it would have been extended to four or five hours, and the departure time was 12 noon tomorrow. If you make a little more advance measure, tomorrow morning at 6 o'clock in the morning, the best time to set off.
Next, after the delegates discussed several related topics in groups, the first passenger congress was finally successfully concluded, and the meeting also achieved extremely fruitful resolutions. This also laid the foundation for the stability and unity of Neptune in a short period of time.
Hu Kai and Zhang Shi both attended the meeting, and after returning to the camp, they immediately relayed the above meeting decisions to everyone.
said that it was a camp, but in fact, there were only Zhang Shi, Uncle Hou and Tingting, and there were only 5 including Hu Kai.
Although lawyer Shadu also survived, that selfish guy never dared to make do with Hu Kai. When he was on the cliff, he jumped down the river valley early in order to escape for his life.
As for the two men and one girl before the high school students, Hu Kai and the others never saw them again, I don't know, whether they have died on the cliff or in the river valley?
After learning that tomorrow was likely to encounter the terrifying natives again, Tingting and Xie Yufei couldn't help but show fear.
Seeing this, Hu Kai naturally wanted to comfort him, saying that there were hundreds of people acting together tomorrow, and those natives didn't dare to do it, even if they really wanted to be unfavorable to us, they would definitely not be able to get any benefits!
Zhang Shi hurriedly added, rest assured, today's tourists are no longer the same as before, they have realized the importance of unity, and they will definitely go all out tomorrow!
"That's right, actually, ......" Hu Kai put his arm around Tingting and said to everyone, "I'm not worried about tomorrow's battle, but about what to eat after I get on the boat, don't forget, we still don't have food!" ”
"Old Hu, you don't mean ......" Tingting leaned on Hu Kai's arm, tilted her head and asked, "After the cruise ship set sail, still won't take us home?" ”
"Wouldn't it? Why don't you take us home? Xie Yufei furrowed her brows, "Will you take us to feed other cannibals?" ”
"No one can say for sure!" Hu Kai shook his head tiredly, "But we must plan for the long term!" ”
"Food?" Uncle Hou came up with an idea, "They said, there are fish, shrimp and shells in this river, why don't we catch some more at night?" ”
"It's long gone!" Xie Yufei sighed and said, "After digging the river for three feet, there is nothing but silt!" Unless...... You have to dig far away! ”
"No way!" Hu Kai immediately vetoed, "It's so late, it's not safe to go far away!" Moreover, on such a hot day, even if you catch fish and shrimp, it will stink tomorrow! In my opinion, on the road tomorrow, let's take the opportunity to act! Let's see if we can find something to eat. ”
"That's right!" Tingting suddenly remembered his experience with Hu Kai, and hurriedly said, "It's okay, when we return to the cruise ship terminal, pick up some food from the beach, isn't it!?" ”
"Great idea!" Hu Kai immediately praised it, although there are white bones on the seaside, the food is still quite rich, even if these hundreds of people go to the sea to catch it together, there is absolutely no problem.
Next, everyone discussed for a while, and since Hu Kai and Zhang Shi were still on night duty, they rested around the fire early.
After lying down, Hu Kai combed through the strange experience of the past few days in his heart, pondering and pondering, and he finally remembered what important thing he had overlooked!
