Chapter 992: The Slave Trade
Ariana also hesitated: "But this can't be artificially planted, only people with a little brains won't plant it like this, you see this weed, they all grow taller than crops." ”
Bill looked left and right, and clenched the gun in his hand: "You say, will it be a zombie......
Ariana was shocked, and then shook her head: "Impossible, although the mainland has developed a way to drive some zombies to work for humans, but it is all through special procedures and equipment assistance, and it also requires abilities. In such an isolated island, it is impossible to have a force that can drive zombies, and people or groups with such abilities have already gone to the mainland to live a good life, who will stay on this isolated island. ”
Bill nodded, then shook his head, "You can't go wrong with being careful." ”
After leaving the grassland, Bill tightened his team and searched more slowly, but it turned out to be a false alarm, and the grasslands, jungles, and hills in this area could not be seen even by the more powerful carnivorous animals, but many wild sheep, hares, and other animals could be seen, all of them fat and strong.
The men were nervous, and it was exhausting to search all the way, and when it was nearly noon, Bill ordered a break to eat, and the lads cheered, and they skillfully hunted the little beasts with bows and crossbows, and skinned them by the stream, and chopped wood for barbecue.
Ariana was the only woman on the Cape, and the boys were busy currying favor with her, not only did they not let her cook lunch, but they also picked a lot of wild fruits for her, and Ariana sat in the shade of a bush, eating sweet and sour fruits, and smiling at the busy boys.
Suddenly, there was a roar from behind Ariana. A huge figure emerged from the bushes, and Bill, who was roasting a rabbit, looked up and flew into fright: "Ariana! Be careful! ”
As soon as Ariana turned around, her hands and feet were weak with fright, only to see a black bear emerging from the bushes behind her, staring at herself with red eyes and long saliva, hell, why is there a North American black bear on an isolated island in the Pacific Ocean?!
Ariana is not a weak woman. I don't know how many zombie enemies I've killed with my own hands. After being startled, he immediately came back to his senses, pulled out the M1911 pistol from his waist, and fired several shots at the black bear.
The black bear's skin is thick and thick. After being shot several times in a row, blood was pouring from his body. But he didn't die. Instead, it inspires ferocity - this black bear, who previously performed in the circus, learned to deliberately yell at the audience, looking vicious and unusual. In fact, it doesn't hurt people, it's just a performance.
The black bear was sleeping with a full stomach, and was woken up by the people on the Cape, and habitually yelled just to scare everyone away, but he didn't expect to be shot several times by humans, and his body was in severe pain and ferocity, and he pounced on the woman who shot him.
Ariana knew that she didn't have time to turn around and run away, so she simply threw the empty pistol at the black bear, hugged a big tree next to her and climbed up a few times, the black bear had already pounced under the tree, almost grabbed her shoes, and hit the tree frantically, trying to knock Ariana down.
At this time, Bill led the boys to rush up, and surrounded the black bear is a mess of guns - each of them is equipped with guns, only because of the cherishing bullets, they use bows and crossbows to hunt, at this time seeing that Ariana is in danger, where will he keep his hands, automatic rifles, large shotguns, shotguns have shot at the black bear, the black bear screamed, and fell to the ground, I don't know how many shots were on his body, and his fur was sparse.
Bill picked up Ariana from the tree and asked eagerly, "Are you hurt?" ”
Aria Nuna shook her head with a white face, she crouched down to examine the dead black bear: "Strange, how can there be a black bear on such an isolated island?" This is not at all in line with the common sense of evolution! ”
Bill also wondered: "Did you swim from the mainland to the island?" As soon as he said this, he knew that he was wrong, although bears can swim, they can't swim from the mainland to small islands thousands of kilometers away.
Ariana, who was checking the black bear, suddenly had a light eye, she saw something faintly under the neck of the black bear, reached out and touched it, from under the thick fur, she really touched a soft object, pulled it out and saw that it was actually a collar. Ariana cuts off the collar with a paratrooper knife and sees a line of letters on it, but it is "Bauris", which seems to be the name of the black bear.
It turned out that the name of this black bear in the circus was Bauris, and the animal trainer specially made this collar to wear around its neck, and after it was sold to the zoo, the keeper saw that it was fun, so he did not take off the collar, and still called it Bauris.
Bill took the collar from Ariana's hand and played, "This black bear is bred in captivity, maybe a ship was shipwrecked in the nearby waters, and this bear swam to the island." ”
Ariana frowned and said, "Is it possible that the owner of this black bear is still alive?" ”
Bill immediately remembered the fishing nets on the beach and the crops on the grassland, and he was startled and waved his hand: "All on alert!" Search around, not even the rat holes! ”
The young men immediately threw down the lunch they were preparing in their hands, armed themselves with live ammunition, and searched, and soon, the black bear's cave was discovered, and it turned out that after the male zombie family left, this stone cave was occupied by the black bear, because the entrance to the cave was blocked by the bushes that grew quickly, so the people of the Cape did not find it for a while.
Bill and Ariana walked into the stone cave, and saw the white bones in the cave at a glance, the two gasped and looked at each other, the North American black bear is an omnivorous animal, even if it preys on some small animals, it will not spread the white bones on the ground!
What's more, those white bones have traces of gnawing and smashing, and some of the skulls are still neatly placed on the high platform of the stone cave - this is the fun of female zombies - black bears can't do such a thing anyway.
Bill and Ariana turned on their flashlights and searched carefully in the stone cave, Bill found a few stone knives, Ariana was more careful, and found a pile of ashes in the center of the stone cave, this ash was scattered a lot because of the black bear's stay, but some can still be found in the stone crevices, all of which are not something that a black bear can do!
Bill said with a calm face: "Could it be that some uncivilized natives live here?" ”
Ariana looked at the stone knife in his hand repeatedly, and hesitated: "It's possible, but they still use stone tools, which is too backward." And more importantly, the cave is too small for a human race to survive. ”
Bill waved his hand: "Search, that is, turn the whole island over, we also have to find out the truth, if it is really an uncivilized native, our brothers and sisters will be rich, and even have enough materials to invite engineers to renovate the Cape and re-equip it with modern engines, radars and other equipment." ”
Ariana was stunned: "Natives? What are they for? ”
Bill looked at the young men who were still searching outside the cave, and lowered his voice and said to Ariana: "Old John quietly told me that all the major forces on the continent are looking for different human genes, because research has found that different human genes have different responses to biochemical viruses, and the so-called supernatural ones are created in this way. Different races, different nationalities, as long as there are new genes, some people are willing to pay a great price to buy them. Especially the primitive aborigines who are isolated from modern society, their genes retain the original purebred, which is more valuable for research, so once in Africa and other places, the surviving aborigines did not become zombies, but were hunted and killed by major forces like prey, whether it was women or children, they were captured in the laboratory as guinea pigs for various human experiments. ”
Ariana is also accustomed to seeing the cruelty of the biochemical apocalypse, but when she heard Bill say this, she still clenched her fists: "These people are really devils!" ”
Bill shook his head: "Devil? Now many of the methods we use to fight zombies and intelligent corpses are developed by these research institutions, and their ultimate goal is vaccines, and from this point of view, they are angels and saints of all mankind. As for these natives, they are not civilized anyway, and like wild beasts, they only know how to drink blood, and their genes can contribute to the continuation of human civilization, and they are worth dying. ”
Ariana listened to Bill's words and couldn't help but admit that he had a point, but there was always something in her chest that made her feel very uncomfortable.
Bill came out of the cave and shouted to the boys, ordering them to prepare to capture the natives, he repeatedly stressed that they must be caught alive, because only the living ones are valuable, and ordered the Cape to reinforce more men, he did not want his stick boys to be wounded by the aborigines' stone knives.
Bill scrambled out of the cave and shouted at the boys urging them to hurry up - a fortune that anyone would be tempted to do.
Ariana sighed, turned around to get out of the hole, and suddenly, the tactical flashlight in her hand swept over a stone wall, and on it, there seemed to be something.
Ariana stepped forward slowly, and looked closely, and it was, a mural, painted of ashes, with three simple human figures, a man, a woman, and, a child.
Ariana stretched out her hand, as if to touch the three figures, but retracted her hand as if it had been burned by fire, this cave inhabited a family of three, a happy and happy family of three, and now, his brother Bill will take the young men armed to the teeth, capture them like wild beasts, and then sell them, just like their ancestors did hundreds of years ago, the slave trade!
Ariana strung everything she observed after landing on the island like a pearl necklace - the fishing nets by the bay were set by this family, the fish bones by the stream should also be the same, as if they were drying fish, and the crops on the grassland were undoubtedly planted by this family, and this family even knew art - this mural, although it was extremely crude, was indeed the germ of art.
