Chapter 159: Blocking the Way
Eric straightened his body and kept his eyes sharp, although in this barren and backward area with only indigenous people, it seemed that there was not much need to maintain such vigilance, but Eric returned from the battlefield in the Middle East, and knew that letting his guard down anywhere could lead to his death from a bullet fired from nowhere, just like his colleagues lying in the grave.
Carelessly, it is the dance partner of death, and you must not let your guard down easily!
Eric, who learned this on the battlefield, was unable to relax from such a mood even if he later retired and returned to his hometown. Instead, he felt deeply dissatisfied.
Everyone, everyone he knew thought he was crazy and needed to go to psychotherapy, and even his wife couldn't agree with him and forced her to divorce him.
Eric understands that he is not crazy, but he can no longer stand this dull rhythm of life, he is used to the bullets on the battlefield, used to the action of rolling under the gun, he can't accept the life of standing in the supermarket every day, like a fool, buying goods and scanning the code for every bastard.
When he gradually began to become numb, and even wondered if he would continue to sink like this, until one day he couldn't bear it anymore and went on a killing spree, when he saw this recruitment email.
So, Eric did not hesitate, he came here despite his wife's anger.
When Erik arrived on this Pacific island, which he had never set foot on, and saw the rows of his companions standing tall and smelling of blood, his long-numb body became excited again, like a child seeing a beloved toy, and the excitement that filled his whole body was simply impossible to refuse.
At this moment, Eric finally determined the idea in his heart, he could only die on the battlefield in his life. You must not die at home or at work.
However, unlike him, he came here to experience this kind of life, and he didn't care about the so-called salary, but the black companion Carson next to him was under heavy pressure.
His nine-year-old daughter. Because of the car accident and lying in the hospital, the operation fee is a huge astronomical amount, which is not something that he, a retired ordinary soldier, can afford, so in order to solve the operation fee, he chose to re-enter the battlefield. Only this time he was not for honor and in the name of the country, but only for payment.
"It's coming!"
Eric, who was reminiscing, heard the voice of his companion on the side, turned his head to look, and sure enough, he was far away by the sea. A fishing boat gradually approached, and it was the same fishing boat they had left last night.
The person standing on the deck is their training supervisor here, a woman!
But it was this woman who defeated more than a dozen people in the training camp one by one in hand-to-hand combat, and subdued all the men, which had to make Eric also admire.
Now that the fishing boat is back. Vigilance clearly needed to be heightened, and the guards guarding the docks at gunpoint dispersed. Pull out more areas of the cordon to avoid unrelated people approaching in close proximity.
That's the goods that I brought back from this trip?
Eric is not a very curious person, but for a training director (Ivy) and a logistics director (Chen Ran) in the camp, the two of them went to pick up the goods in person, and they also brought a lot of people. It made him a little curious.
"Woo woo woo ......"
The crane began to move the boom column, lifting the heavy boxes to the dock, and naturally someone was loading the truck, and in a short time, two huge boxes were loaded onto the truck. Ivy on the boat led everyone off the boat.
There were already a few cars waiting on the side, leaving a few people to take care of the follow-up, while the rest immediately escorted the middle truck in the direction of the camp.
It was nearly thirty miles from here to the camp, and everyone was on fire along the way, so that if something went wrong, they could respond immediately.
Driving in the forest, the barely carved out road can only accommodate trucks and off-road vehicles with high chassis, and ordinary cars cannot drive here because of the chassis of the car. It is a truck with a very high chassis, driving on such a badly damaged road, the wear and tear of the car parts is also quite serious, and the life span is less than one-third of the rest of the place.
"Well, what's up ahead?"
The convoy suddenly stopped, and everyone's nerves immediately tensed, and Eric and Carson immediately got out of the car and aimed their live ammunition ahead.
A few indigenous Javanese Indonesians, dressed only in rudimentary foliage and shallow foliage, warily looked at the convoy with bows and arrows, and a dead prey lay not far from their feet, blocking the middle of the road.
"Karimosokdila......"
There were local Indonesians in the off-road vehicle, and it was the indigenous subordinate of training supervisor Ivy who hurriedly got out of the car and gestured loudly to a few of the prey standing next to them.
"What are they doing?"
Carson held the G36 in his hand and glanced at the men, puzzled.
"Whatever they're saying, it's best to get out of here."
Eric didn't care about this, he licked his lips, the scope in his hand had already circled the heads of the three natives, and he was quite sure that three bullets in a row would kill the three natives at this distance.
And they didn't even have time to shoot their bows and arrows.
Obviously, the Indonesian gesture didn't do much, and the three indigenous Javanese shook their heads and refused to remove their prey.
"What's wrong?"
A lazy female voice came from behind, it turned out that Ivy was impatient to wait, and got out of the car and came here to ask.
When the Indonesian saw that the leader was coming, he quickly responded: "Chief, it's from the Malososo tribe...... They perform an annual rite of passage, and they are not allowed to move their killed prey at will, and they must wait for the priest to come and confirm before they can move away from the prey. ”
"What?"
Ivy had a cigarette in the corner of her mouth, and when she heard this, her eyes couldn't help but widen: "How long will they wait?" ”
"This ...... It should have been more than half a day, there was only one priest in their tribe, but those who went out to hunt for the rite of passage also had at least thirty or forty children. The subordinate replied in embarrassment.
"Half a day?"
Ivy spat out the butt of her cigarette, "Tell them, don't talk for a long time, not for a minute, and move my things away immediately." ”
"But ......"
"No, but!"
Hearing Ivy's stern tone, of course, the Indonesian subordinates did not dare to refute, so they had to turn around and anxiously explain to the three natives who participated in the coming-of-age ceremony.
However, the three natives were extremely stubborn and shook their heads vigorously, that is, they did not agree to the request to remove the carcass of the prey, and it seemed that in their hearts, they attached great importance to this ceremony, and would not easily compromise the demands of outsiders.
"What's wrong?"
Chen Ran seemed to have a problem when he saw it in the car, so he got out of the car and frowned and asked.
"Something went wrong."
Ivy casually explained a few words and said, "Can you wait for a long time?" ”
"What do you think?" Chen Ran's tone became heavier, when it came to Lu Yuan's order, he would not allow any mistakes and flaws in the process.
"But they're not going to go."
Ivy shrugged her shoulders: "As far as I know, the natives here have a bad temper and a hard temper, and they have long been dissatisfied with us, thinking that we are the enemies of the forest and an alien scourge, and they have been very restrained in not doing anything with us." ”
"Do it?"
Chen Ran looked at the bows and arrows in the hands of those natives strangely: "That's it?" ”
"Don't underestimate the weapons they have."
Ivy took out her cigarette and found that there was no more smoke in the cigarette box, stared at the cigarette case in disgust, and then said: "That arrow is smeared with the venom secreted by the poisonous frog, as long as you scratch a little skin, you will die in pain in a few minutes, there is no medicine to heal." ”
Having said that, there was no matching attention in Ivy's tone, and she was still careless. Also unmoved was Chen Ran, who glanced at the three natives indifferently, and suddenly stepped forward, pulled out Beretta at his waist, and aimed at the three natives.
If you want to say that you don't know pistols, that's before.
No matter how remote this place is, it still can't escape the invasion of modern civilization, and after seeing the power of "firearms", the indigenous Javanese people can't help but take a few steps back when they see a gun. (To be continued.) )
