Lying on the ground behind a corner in the depths of the cave, Muma gasped for air.

It was really a thread hanging by a thread just now.

At this time, David on the side saw that Muma's shoulder was bleeding, and hurried to take a closer look. Fortunately, it was just a scratch on the skin, and the injury was not very serious.

David took out the bottle of spray from his small backpack, which was thicker than his own arm, and sprayed it at Muma's wound, and the blood flow was immediately stopped.

Marmosets have night vision, and David has also discovered that Muma also has them, and it seems that the "Kaka" group does live in underground caves, and because of this, it is difficult for the expeditionary force to find them.

After digging through the contents of his backpack and handing it to Muma, David took out a box of ammunition and reloaded the three magazines of the two pistols.

There were three boxes of about a hundred rounds of ammunition left, and David was relieved that these bullets were of great use to him when he arrived at Muma's house, and they were almost wasted on a helicopter.

After entering the cave just now, David observed that this cave has a cave within a hole, and some of the caves can only accommodate Muma to enter, and those pursuers will definitely not be able to enter, so now the two monkeys are not too eager to escape.

A few minutes later, the beams of light from several flashlights flickered, and it seemed that the soldiers were chasing after them.

David hurriedly took Muma into a small cave and walked deeper into the cave.

The two monkeys walked down the small hole diagonally for about two kilometers before coming to a large hole.

This cave is about 100 meters square, about 20 meters high, there is a circular pool of 20 or 30 meters wide in the center of the cave, and there are many white stalactites of different sizes and lengths on the top of the cave dripping down.

There is a fishy smell in the cave that looks like a mixture of animal excrement and subcutaneous secretions.

At this time, Muma spotted some Ni Duan, pointed to the ground and said, "Feet, feet." ”

David looked closely, and there were two wet footprints on a dry gray stone floor on the shore of the waterhole that had not been dripped by the water.

Looks like a duck? But the duck is also a little too big, probably the size of a wooden horse.

Mu Ma's face changed at this time, and he said hurriedly: "Huhu, Huhu!" ”

David said, "Huhu, animals? At risk? ”

Muma nodded.

David was about to pull out the pistol from his waist when a large black net woven of soft and thin rattan shrouded from under the roof of the cave, enveloping him and Muma together.

Then, there was a sound of "lala" water in the pool, and more than a dozen "monkeys" with three-petal mouths jumped out of the water and jumped onto the shore. Households! The earth screamed, rushed to the net, and held Muma and David together.

Their appearance is roughly the same as that of a mug, including their beak, except that their "lizard skin" is dark gray and has duck-like webbing between their fingers and toes.

Soon, Muma was dragged out of the net by two male monkeys and pressed to the ground, David looked a little more bullying, and it was a female monkey who dealt with him, grabbed him with both hands and picked him up.

Then, out of nowhere, the other monkeys took out some strings that were very rough and tied up Muma and David Wuhuada.

At this time, an older-looking male monkey in the "household", surrounded by several young monkeys, came to David and Muma, who should be their leader.

David's body type is not worth mentioning at all in front of the leader of the "household", he doesn't even look at David, and directly uses the words to communicate with Muma in a language that is basically the same as "Kaka", but the tone and particle are slightly different.

David listened carefully, and could only understand the "Kaka" language such as you, invasion, us, territory, etc.

Now it can't be called "Kaka", it seems that it should be called Proxima B monkey.

And unexpectedly, after talking to the "same kind", Muma's vocabulary is obviously much more than the monkey language she has heard from her.

It's like when we talk to a foreigner, even if it's in our native language, we don't talk at length.

"Taijun, Missymisi."

"Eight roads, they drop, eight ways to work!"

Well, just like the dialogue between traitors and little devils back then.

When Mulma was talking to the leader of the "household", he pointed at David with his chin from time to time, and David guessed that Mulma might be introducing himself.

They also mentioned "heavenly", and then both Muma and the "household" leaders frowned, making David feel as if they were saying, "What a big trouble from heaven is," "yes," or something.

Despite this, it seems that the "households" did not intend to treat the captives favorably, and a male monkey next to the leader of the "households" shouted "Towa!" to the roof of the cave. A hole in the top of the cave where there is no stalactite grows opened and a soft ladder woven of rattan was hung.

The two public "households" lifted the wooden horse one on the left and one on the right, and flexibly climbed up the soft ladder.

Just now, the female "household" also grabbed David with one hand, climbed to the top of the soft ladder in a few clicks, and drilled into a new hole through the open opening.

It was a hole about the size of the hole below, the only difference being that there was no pool, but part of the ground was still very wet due to the dripping water from the roof.

There are a large number of "households" scattered throughout the cave, curiously looking at the "prey" caught by their companions. Together, they and the "households" that just emerged from the water, there were about 100 monkeys in the whole group.

When the "households" below came to the new cave through the soft ladder, several "households" first put away the soft ladder, and then rolled an irregular round white stone together to re-block the hole.

Then, after being released, Muma and David were put into two wooden cages that were not too far away.

Guan Muma's cage, apparently used to hold the same kind of "households", is five or six square meters in size, with simple and rough wooden tables and stools, hay on the floor, and about 15 centimeters wide between egg-thick fences.

David Guan's cage is a little different, the gap between each log is smaller, and even the marmosets can't pass through.

Muma had been protesting loudly, as if she was very unhappy with the separation of her and David.

Fortunately, the "households" were not interested in David's backpack and other items, and even did not react to him wearing a green camouflage uniform without the automatic color-changing function, and a round green digital all-around helmet, and did not search him or anything, nor confiscated any of his belongings.

Even for the satchel on Muma's body, the "households" didn't pay too much attention to it, and let Muma continue to carry it like this, which made David secretly happy in his heart.

But then David, who was dizzy because he was thrown into the cage, was dumbfounded, and he also understood the reason why Muma was so excited to protest.

When he got up, he found that he was not the only guest in the twenty-meter-square wooden cage where he was being held.

In addition to himself, there were three larger animals, and a dozen small ones.

Two of the larger animals were closest to David, more than a meter long, shaped like platypuses with mouths open horizontally and eyes at the ends of their mouths, and yes, they were the source of the kind of jerky that David ate in Joseph's basement.

David knew that this kind of animal, also known as the "platypus" for the time being, tasted a bit like the taste of earth turkey meat and catfish meat cooked in milk and salad mixture, and was vegetarian and not aggressive.

But the third, larger animal that was furthest from him was less cute, the gecko.

This is also the animal that David has seen photos and videos in Joseph's basement before, because the shape and skin look very similar to the gecko of the earth, so the researchers unanimously call it "gecko".

However, its size is very different from that of geckos on Earth, more than a meter long, and its four mouths can be opened at 90 degrees, and each mouth has a set of fine and sharp teeth, which is obviously a carnivore.

At this time, it was lying lazily on the other end of the cage, occupying most of the cage by itself, and it looked like a bully that was not easy to mess with.

Proper crocodile cousin, don't look at people's ugly parents, its meat is actually very delicious, chewing like earth chicken, but the taste is a bit like two small pieces of beef mixed with a small piece of salmon meat mixed together, and it is also one of the favorite ingredients of humans in the base, including David himself also likes to eat, but because the number of "geckos" is scarce compared to "platypus", it is rare to eat.

No, the ingredients?

Are the "households" locked up with the ingredients as food? David thought depressedly.

There were also a dozen other human-sized black animals the size of a palm, with a pointed head (this time finally encountering an animal that opened its mouth up and down), but with a body similar to a fat version of a bat but hairless, hanging upside down on top of the cage above David's head. Let's call them "bats".

At this point, David noticed that because the three tenants at the bottom of the cage were about the same size, they seemed to be at peace with each other.

But as soon as he came, he seemed to have broken the balance of power.

The palm-sized marmosets of earthlings are not enough for half a meal for the "gecko"! David was even more pessimistic at this time, thinking that he was more likely to become the ingredient of the "households", just like those "bats"?

Because David found that there were still the remains of the corpse of a small half of a "bat" on the ground near the mouth of the "gecko".

Seeing this, he hurriedly and quietly took out the pistol from his lower waist, closed the safety on his load, unzipped his jacket, stretched his right hand holding the gun into his arms, and the muzzle of the gun stretched out a little outside the clothes, facing the direction of the "gecko".

Then make a chest hug with your left hand and squat on the ground against the railing to rest.

Although the marmosets are expert tree climbers, David can hide above the cage like those "bats", but when he saw the corpse of the little half of the "bats", he was sure that Mr. "Gecko" also had a way to catch them, so it was better to conserve his strength and rest on the spot.

And the "households" did not seem to have much interest in David, and after throwing him in the cage, they did not pay any attention to him.
