The descent became safer and safer, and by the time the team reached the jungle at the foot of the volcano, there were no more casualties. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the team suffered heavy losses, 3 of the 10-man team died, and 3 of the remaining 7 people were wounded, including the captain Bill.

Bill endured the sharp pain in his feet, held the walkie-talkie and shouted, and in a cacophony, the voice of old John finally came, however, the old John, who had always been calm in the face of the storm and never changed color, yelled on the walkie-talkie: "Attack! Raid! We're under attack from warships! They're firing guns! Oh, my God! No! Our ship is too slow to escape! ”

All the people turned pale, and there was a faint explosion on the walkie-talkie, it was the warship, the warship that had pursued the Cape, but I didn't expect it to catch up after the storm, damn it, I would have wasted time searching for any natives on this island, if I had left the island immediately after the storm, with the weak reflection signal of the wooden hull of the Cape, the radar of the warship would definitely not have been able to detect them.

There was a faint sound of thunder in the distance, no, it was not thunder, but the shelling of the warship, and Bill could imagine that under the high-explosive ordnance of the warship, the wooden sails of the Cape were burning, the thick mast fell, the deck and hull were blown out of large holes, and the Cape, which had no ability to resist at all, sank to the bottom of the sea like a child's papier-mâché toy.

Old John's last roar came over the intercom: "Bill, you must live!" "Boom, in a violent explosion, the walkie-talkie fell silent, forever. There was only the mute of rustling radio waves.

There was only numbness on everyone's faces, like dead men - the Cape was finished, sunk, and they were orphans abandoned on the island. When they landed on the island, a team of about 10 people, dead and wounded, carrying only a small amount of food and ammunition, and facing the pursuit of soldiers on the warship, all of whom knew that they were destined to die.

Suddenly. One of the crew members raised his gun. Aiming at Bill's head, he yelled, "It's you!" It's all you! We have to find some natives who have led us to this dead end! Lao Tzu killed you! "--This crew member is none other than Stark.

Ariana quickly drew her gun to resist, and Stark quickly punched her in the face. Ariana screamed. The pistol flew out of his hand. Covering her face, she collapsed beside Bill, the corner of her eye cracked by the vicious punch, bleeding from the corner of her eye.

Bill endured the sharp pain from the lava splatters on his feet. Protect in front of Ariana: "Don't kill us, I took you to the volcanic island to avoid the pursuit of that warship, otherwise, we would have sunk to the bottom of the sea with Old John and become fish food." ”

Stark, who suddenly rebelled, was stunned, this sounds reasonable, under the fire of the warship, no one on the Cape survived, but these members of the search team who went to the island, although a few were accidentally killed and injured on the volcano, but the others were unharmed. But Stark quickly snorted coldly: "We are also waiting for death on the island, the warship sent people to the island to chase and kill us, such an isolated island, there is nowhere to escape!" ”

Bill hurriedly said: "Stark, don't worry, the warships will not send people to the island to chase us, they can easily sink the Cape with artillery at sea, and they will not be harmed at all, but if they come to the island to search for us, they must beware of us resisting desperately with the guns in their hands, so they will not venture to the island to fight with us." ”

Stark thought about it for a while, and had to admit that Bill's words made sense, the army represented by that warship has always been best at bullying the weak with the strong, bullying the small with the big, engaging in non-contact warfare, bombarding guerrillas with only old-fashioned rifles with missiles and airplanes, and even killing children who are going to school with drones.

But Stark soon became angry again, and he shouted, "Even if the warship doesn't land on the island, we're doomed!" The Cape has sunk, and we will have to wait for death on this isolated island! No one will come to our rescue! ”

Before Bill could speak, Ariana struggled, "What's so bad about that?" We used to drift around on the Cape in the sea, away from the mainland to avoid being infected by biochemical viruses, and we have wondered more than once whether it is better to find an island to live on than in a cramped ship. It's just that many islands are not suitable for human habitation, and the large islands that are habitable are often occupied by people, and even the sea wisdom corpse also occupies many islands. This volcanic island is rich in produce, with all kinds of animals and even crops, and even the indigenous people can live, so why can't we? ”

Ariana's words were recognized by many people in the team, especially the wounded, who were afraid that after Stark killed Bill and Ariana, he would regard himself and others as a burden, and killed them, so they pulled out their guns and shouted at Stark: "Stark, don't mess around!" Put the gun down! ”

"Let's not have civil strife, and we must unite even more at this time!"

"That's right, even the natives of this island can survive, and we will definitely be able to live a good life."

Even a few of the uninjured team members said, "Stark, there's no point in blaming Bill now, let's think about what to do next." If nothing else, this ammunition needs to be saved, this is our guy who will save his life on the island in the future. ”

Stark didn't expect that after Bill was injured, there were still people to support him, he hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said: "From now on, I will be the leader of this team!" ”

He glared fiercely at the rest of the people, "Do you have any opinions?" ”

No one disagrees, Stark was originally the strongest young man on the Cape, a murderous man, and now that Bill is injured, it is obvious that he cannot be the leader of the group, and it is indeed necessary to have a strong leader to survive on this isolated island.

Stark nodded with satisfaction, and instead glared at the wounded who had pointed a gun at him: "If anyone dares to point a gun at me in the future, I will shoot him in the head, so that he can't even be a zombie!" ”

The first thing Stark did when he became the leader was to confiscate everyone's bullets, on the grounds that bullets were a non-renewable resource, and only a small amount of bullets were left in their guns, and the wounded were confiscated even with their guns. Everyone knew that Stark was suppressing those who disobeyed him, but no one dared to resist.

Stark was satisfied that his authority had suppressed all potential rebels, and he turned his attention to Ariana, who was once one of the many suitors of Ariana on the Cape, and Ariana was a woman on the Cape, who was beautiful and naturally became the goddess in the hearts of the young men, but Ariana hated Stark, who was full of violent tendencies, and was courteous to him. But now, Ariana has gone from being a goddess protected by Captain Bill to a slave girl at her feet.

Ariana also felt Stark's malicious gaze and ducked behind her brother Bill, whose eyes were full of anger, but he was defenseless and could not resist at all, so he could only bow his head in humiliation.

Stark was not carried away by desire, he knew that the team was still unstable, Ariana was loved by every crew member, and there were several of her admirers in the team, and if he did something to Ariana at this time, it might provoke anger and rebellion among the people.

Stark looked away from Ariana's gaze and said to the crowd, "We need to find a place to live, a place to live for a long time." ”

One young man said, "How's the aboriginal camp going?" They live on this island, and no matter how backward they are, they will have a better place to live. ”

Stark nodded, then shook his head again, "The natives are definitely our target, and I want to capture them alive if I can." ”

Someone next to him said: "Capture them alive?" Why? We have lost the Cape, and it is impossible to sell the natives anymore. ”

Stark glared at the interjector: "Idiot, no matter how backward the natives are, they are still people, we can conquer them, treat them as slaves, and drive them to work for us, which is much better than working ourselves." ”

Everyone was stunned, and then nodded again and again, even the people who had a problem with Stark agreed with his idea, the primitive natives should become the slaves of modern whites, as long as they have guns in their hands, they can repeat the history of the white conquest of the New World hundreds of years ago, although this is only a small island, but everything, including the natives, should kneel at their feet.

Someone impulsively said, "Let's go to the aboriginal camp, didn't Bill say that the natives are very likely to live by the lake?" Let's rush straight over! ”

Stark shook his head: "No, let's find a place to live in this jungle first, and we won't be in a hurry to conquer those natives." He swept over the bewildered crowd: "Because I can't let you get hurt or even die casually." ”

Stark said: "On this isolated island, we are a group, only by uniting can we conquer the natives and this island, I don't want to see any of you injured or even die because of your recklessness, we don't have many people to withstand any losses." We first settled in a place in the jungle, and after full cultivation and reconnaissance preparations, we found out the pattern of the actions of the natives, and then gave them a thunderous blow. ”

Everyone didn't expect Stark, who has always been rude, to say such an orderly thing, but I have to admit that he has a point, and it is completely for the sake of everyone's interests, and everyone who was originally disgusted with Stark's forcible ascension to the throne somewhat agreed with him in their hearts - anyway, as long as Stark can protect everyone and give everyone certain benefits, there is nothing wrong with him being the leader of this small team.
