Chapter 993: The Greedy Heart

The natives of this isolated island live a primitive but fulfilling life, without the intrigues of modern humans, living simply and happily, and all this will soon come to an end, destruction - because, the greedy and selfish modern man, has come.

"Ariana, come out quickly, we're leaving!" Bill yelled outside.

Ariana answered, and suddenly stretched out her hand and wiped a handful on the stone wall, and the three match figures drawn from ashes were immediately erased, leaving only a few twisted lines.

The boys of the Cape, under the leadership of Bill, launched a strict search, and the boys all let go of their playful mentality, even if there was a fat hare jumping out at their feet, they did not squint, they only wanted to catch the natives, Bill strictly ordered not to use guns, and must ensure that the natives were captured alive without harm.

It's nothing, the natives are not zombies, they are still slash-and-burn, and they can only use stone knives, so they can't hurt the boys in body armor at all.

The search lasted for two whole days, but nothing was found, grasslands, jungles, streams, and hills were all rummaged through by the search team, and even every rabbit hole was found, but there was not the slightest native. If it weren't for the man-made traces in the cave, Bill would have doubted if he had made the right decision.

The group came to the bottom of the volcano, and looking at the erupting lava and hot springs, Bill shrugged: "The natives can't survive here. ”

At this moment, the walkie-talkie suddenly rang, and John Sr. on the Cape reported that the ship had circled the island and discovered the other side of the volcano. There is also a wider land, and the natives have probably relocated to that side.

Bill decided on the spot that the search party would split into two groups, one consisting of young men who had already landed on the island and the other consisting of men on board, led by Old John, to land from the sea and outflank them at both ends, trying to capture all the natives alive. None of them can escape.

Ariana looked at the black smoke crater: "Bill. Isn't it too dangerous to climb over the volcano? We could all land from the sea, but anyway, this area is just one isolated island, where can the natives flee to? ”

Bill shook his head: "No, listen to old John. The other side of the island is several times larger. I don't want the natives to flee into the jungle. Increase our manhunt time. Don't forget, Ariana, this area isn't safe. No one knows where the warship came from nowhere, and although we escaped their pursuit by taking advantage of the mechanical glitch and the storm, God knows if they are still searching for us. Therefore, we must hurry up, copy the two breads, and wipe out the natives. ”

Ariana looked at the excited light in Bill's eyes, knowing that she couldn't convince him, she could understand the heavy pressure that Bill was carrying as a captain, no one could really live independently, there were nearly 100 people on the Cape, and they couldn't survive just eating fish, not to mention that the ship also needed maintenance and repairs, and Bill could only maintain the survival of the entire crew through small-scale contact trade with the mainland.

The survivors at sea are afraid of the continent because of the biochemical virus, but it is impossible to really live away from the continent, I heard that there was a rich man who converted a giant oil tanker and built a small and complete biosphere on it, which can live forever without relying on the land, but this giant ship is just a legend, no one has ever seen it, many ships like the Cape, floating on the sea, are still inextricably linked to the land.

Bill hit the luck this time, if he can successfully capture the natives and bring them to land at a high price, the lives of the people on the Cape will be greatly improved, and even the Cape itself can be repaired. The ship is home to all seafarers, and its safety is everyone's concern. After this storm, the Cape was damaged in many places, and if it is not repaired, it may encounter another strong storm, and the Cape may sink completely.

Therefore, although Bill's order was very risky, no young man had any objections, and even Ariana, after weighing it again, felt that the risk was worth taking, the volcano was a forbidden place of death for animals, but for humans, as long as they were prepared in advance and acted carefully, it was not a big deal.

After Bill and John Sr. agreed to act together through the walkie-talkie, he immediately began to climb the mountain with the team.

Bill was a beloved captain of the crew, and along the way, he insisted on walking at the front to find the way for the group, he avoided the intermittent fountains, and reminded the boys to beware of the magma beneath the freshly solidified rock formations, and climbed to the top of the volcano without any danger.

Standing in the crater, Bill and Ariana did not enjoy the magnificent view of the active crater, but stared at the vast jungle, grassland, and lake on the other side of the volcano.

Bill was pleasantly surprised: "Oh my God, Old John is right, the other half of the island is larger, and there must be many natives here!" The cave on the other half of the island is just a small settlement for the natives, and this is the base camp of the natives. Rich, rich! ”

Ariana looked at the lake in the distance, which was just a glittering spot of light because of the distance, and said, "It is a human instinct to live by water, and it is very likely that the indigenous settlements are next to the lake. ”

Bill nodded again and again: "I'll inform Old John, I don't know if he has landed, make an appointment, target the lake, launch a search, and do it together, don't let go of an native!" ”

Bill took out the walkie-talkie and called the Cape, but there was a murmur on the walkie-talkie, and he couldn't get through, Bill frowned: "Hell, it must be the special geology of this crater that interferes with the walkie-talkie, quick, let's go down the mountain as soon as possible." ”

Bill led the team down the mountain in a hurry, raising the walkie-talkie from time to time to call a few times, however, the walkie-talkie could not be called, and Bill became a little impatient, just thinking about going down the mountain quickly and getting out of the range of the volcano.

At this moment, the danger suddenly happened, and Bill, who was walking in the front, was too anxious to pay close attention to his feet, and when he stepped on a piece of ground that looked flat, the ground suddenly cracked, and a stream of red magma gushed out of the crack. It turned out that this piece of ground had just solidified, and the seemingly solid rock formation was actually very brittle and thin, and Bill was very wary of such a flat ground before, and would test it with a tree branch to see how strong it was, but this time he was so determined to go down the mountain quickly, he forgot about the temptation, and stepped on it heavily, and the rock layer suddenly cracked.

The gushing magma engulfed Bill's left foot in the blink of an eye, and Bill screamed and leaned forward, about to fall into the large pool of magma that was still pouring out of the crack.

Ariana, who was following Bill, screamed, held Bill with both hands, and rolled a few times to avoid the magma, at this time, there were many screams behind him, but this rock formation was originally unstable, Bill disturbed the magma underneath, and several cracks opened in the ground, and the magma gushed out, injuring several young men who were following Bill and Ariana, one of the young men was on the ground when he was stained with more magma, and the whole person burned, screamed a few times, and then disappeared.

Ariana picked up Bill, who was screaming repeatedly, and shouted, "Hurry up!" Don't stay! ”

The boys also knew that if they stayed here longer, the danger would be more, and the magma was still gushing out, so they picked up the wounded crew members, lowered their heads, and rushed with Ariana, who was also in a panic at this time, and had no way to carefully find a safe passage, only to bow their heads and rush down the mountain as fast as possible.

The volcano seems to come alive and is punishing the humans who dare to disturb it, Ariana carries Bill on her back and constantly encounters fountains and magma eruptions, and another young man on the road is hit by a hot fountain, when he is crossing a crack in the rock, the fountain below spews out high, the young man is sprayed several meters high in the air, and when he falls to the ground, he is already dead, the hot steam and hot water scalded him so much that his skin and flesh fall off.

The team finally panicked, and one of the crew members suddenly threw down his partner who was burned by the lava on his back, and hurried down the mountain, and a shot rang out, and Bill on Ariana's back fired, and he shot the deserter, brandishing a smoking pistol and shouting, "No one is allowed to run!" Whoever dares to throw down his companions, die! ”

The crew is a small but close-knit team, everyone must help each other, no one can survive alone without the team, similarly, the group can not operate smoothly without one person, only by working together, the ship can sail on the ocean, if the hearts are scattered, no matter how strong the ship will be finished.

Beads of sweat rolled down Bill's forehead, and his feet hurt as if they were about to break, but he still held his gun, and the muzzle of the gun swept over every member of the team - the captain was the soul of the ship, and he had to maintain his unrivalled authority, even if he was wounded, even if he was going to die, he must not allow the crew to collapse and betray.

The sound of gunfire and dead men finally cheered the crew up, and they understood that there was no need for civil strife at this time, Bill was the captain of the ship, and Old John only obeyed his orders alone, betrayed Bill, and he would never want to get on the ship and leave this damn island, everyone only had one dead word.

Finally someone stepped forward to help the wounded man who was burned by the magma, and the team began to descend the mountain again, Bill breathed a sigh of relief, he gritted his teeth and endured the sharp pain in his feet and said: "Don't panic, we will be able to go down the mountain soon, as long as we catch the natives, everyone will be rich, even if it is an injured brother, we can take out a large amount of supplies and let them live on land, rest assured, as long as I am here, I will not abandon any partner." ”

The crew regained their courage, yes, as long as the natives are caught, everything will be fine, injuries often happen at sea, in short, you are not dead, right, as long as you don't die, life will go on. (To be continued......)
