Chapter 11: Acceptance

The leader of the "household" sat on a high stool next to Muma's cage and continued to talk to Muma.

Because David has a solar-powered electronic bracelet, he is able to know the time, which is noon in the United States Eastern Time on Earth.

Since there was nothing else to do, David began to observe the cave and the duck-footed water monkeys, in addition to being wary of the "gecko".

The cave was oval-shaped, and in a corner of the two cages were placed neatly arranged a row of wooden sticks with stone sharps tied to the upper part, and several bundles of long ropes, which seemed to be their weapons.

At the other end of the cave are rows of wooden shelves on which some pieces of animal flesh and bloody leather are hung with ropes, most of which appear to be "platypus", a few are "geckos", and there are also some small lizards the size of chickens and ducks and birds of various sizes that have been plucked with their feathers.

On the side of the wooden frame, there are two large white stones, the top of which is slightly flat, and there are some stone "knives" on it, which are supposed to be used to cut meat.

Next to the big stone are three simple wooden tables and a few stools. Like the table inside the Muma cage, the table top is made of slender wooden sticks crossed over each other, and the legs are four thick L-shaped wooden sticks that are held together with the table top with rope.

The stool is simply a large piece of wood.

On the edge of the tables and chairs, there was a small clearing of all kinds of exotic fruits piled up like a hill.

The walls of this cave, the bottom and the upper part are all made of gray-white rocks, and the slightly smooth places around the walls of the cave are densely painted with some simple patterns, including geometric figures, as well as rough patterns of various animals, all of which are drawn with red lines.

As for the smell in the cave, it was three or five times weaker than the fishy smell that I had smelled in the bottom pit before.

David secretly analyzed, why is this the residence of these "households", but the smell is much smaller than the hole below? The only explanation is that there are vents, and the air volume is not small.

And these more than 100 "households" seem to have a clear division of labor, some with children, some processing leather, some braiding ropes, some repairing some rudimentary weapons and tools, and some are responsible for playing.

They don't have the same shame as humans, and like Muma, they're naked.

Five or six hours had passed, and most of the "households" had begun to sleep in a relatively dry open space covered with hay in the middle of the cave, including their leader.

And they also know how to use a kind of soft bark or simply "platypus" leather as a quilt, two or three of them huddled together in a quilt.

Only the leader and a few "households" around him have the right to use a single leather quilt.

Muma called softly at this time: "Weiwei." There was a hint of worry and helplessness in his eyes.

David turned to Muma and smiled, and said, "It's okay, you can rest, gun." ”

Muma also knew that David had a weapon, so she shrugged her shoulders in Lulu's way, nodded, and lay down on the ground and began to sleep.

But David didn't dare to sleep, and he didn't become a snack for the "gecko" in his dreams.

After about ten hours, when David was too sleepy to stay up, the "households" woke up one after another.

Some "households" began to go to the "kitchen" to cut meat and distribute it to everyone to eat raw, including Muma.

After the monkeys had eaten their fill, the leader of the "household" gave an order, and more than a dozen sturdy male monkeys took up weapons and ropes, removed the stones that had blocked the entrance to the cave, dropped the soft ladder and left.

When the ladder was withdrawn and the entrance to the cave was blocked again, the remaining monkeys in the cave began to work on their own again.

The "households" seem to have forgotten the existence of David.

At this time, the animals in David's cage were also woken up by the noisy "household" screams.

The "platypus" and "bats" seem to be dying of hunger, and a few of the "bats" are even crumbling, and it seems that the "households" have no intention of feeding them.

But the "gecko" is different, it seems that his meat is delicious, and it is also a bit privileged.

It seems to be pondering what to eat for "breakfast".

Looking at the fat "bats" above his head for a long time, the "gecko" slowly rolled his eyes down and looked at David.

Likes to try new things, which is a common trait of animals, including humans.

It seems that after choosing his new snack, the "gecko" is slowly walking towards David.

A few of the younger "households" noticed the situation inside the cage and stopped what they were doing or stopped playing, and came over to watch with great interest, but most of the "households" were not at all interested in what seemed to happen on a daily basis.

And Muma had already discovered all this, and watched the upcoming showdown between David and "Gecko" with concern and a hint of anticipation.

David thought for a moment and began to mumble nervously.

Muma seemed to sense David's intentions, and the corners of her mouth began to reveal a mischievous smile.

When the "gecko" heard David's voice, he was stunned for a moment, as if he sensed that his authority as a cell boss was being challenged, and he was furious, raised his head, opened all four mouths, and quickened his pace.

When it rushed to a distance of more than a meter from David, Muma's expected gunshot rang out.

"Bang! Burst!!! ”

Although the bullet is only as thick as a toothpick, the advanced explosives built into it explode with considerable force, and the instantaneous and violently expanding gas completely mashes the brain of the "gecko".

The "cell boss" then collapsed with a bang, his limbs and tail still twitching.

The moment the gunshots rang out, all the monkeys, except for Muma, were so frightened that they jumped up, and when they looked in the direction where the gunshots came from, David had quietly put away the pistol, pulled out a *** from his backpack, and walked to the side of the "gecko".

Then, with a knife, he easily gouged out the eyes of the "gecko" and ate it with relish as if it were a large peach.

Although the taste is not very good, and it makes my face full of fishy smell, but at least it quenches my thirst and fills my stomach.

"Wow! Wow! Kaka! ”

Muma knelt down with an exaggerated expression at this time, and kept kowtowing to David. Then he said something loudly to the leader of the "households".

The "households" in the cave, including their leader, were shocked when they heard Muma's description, but they also followed Muma's example and bowed down to David en masse.

"Wow! Wow! Households! ”

Then the leader of the "household" got up, bowed respectfully, and personally opened the small door on the cage.

David was now full, put away the knife, and walked out of the cage with his head held high.

Another "household" also released the Mulma at the same time.

Like the leader of the "household", Muma walked up to David respectfully, bent down and picked him up, put him on his shoulder, and walked in front of the group of monkeys, and the leader quickly followed.

The group of monkeys, who had been kneeling on the ground, under the leadership of the leader, once again knelt down and bowed to David, shouting in unison: "Wow! Wow! ”

Muma whispered to David in English, "You, leader, them. ”

David's heart blossomed at this time, it only cost one bullet to recruit so many new subordinates, it was really cost-effective.

It was only later that David learned from Muma that "woo-wah" meant by the gods.

The guy who can kill the "gecko" on his own, just like the human who can kill the tiger alone on the earth, can become a hero in everyone's mind.

What's more, Muma also reminded the "households" that David was so small, and he killed the "gecko" in the air, and he didn't use the mana of the gods, so what could it be.

The "households" saw it in their eyes and heard what Muma said, so they naturally believed that David was a god.

Moreover, Muma made some promises to the leaders of the "households" without David's consent.

Next, through Muma's simple translation and introduction, David learned that the name of the leader of the "household" was Manman.

Muma told David that "Huhu" and "Kaka" are the same kind and are collectively referred to as control cards. The language of "Huhu" and "Kaka" is basically similar, and some of the pronunciations and pronunciations of words are different, but they can also communicate with each other. Therefore, their languages are collectively referred to as the Konka language. And in fact, "Huhu" should be pronounced "Senhu" in the card control language, and "Kaka" should be pronounced "Senka". It's just that Mulma likes to say monophonic compound words, just like he likes to call David "Weiwei", so he misled David to read "Huhu" and "Kaka" with her.

At the same time, Muma told David that this group of "households" was actually just a small tribe of water monkey "households", called the Omani tribe, and the territory was only a dozen kilometers outside this cave.

The topography of this area is somewhat similar to the karst landform of the earth, with a large number of karst caves underground, as well as several underground rivers, in which live Manman himself does not know the specific number of "households", as for the tribes, there are more than 20.

Each tribe controls a dozen to a few tens of square kilometers of ground and underground territory, and there are some buffer zones between the various landings.

A few days ago, there were some strange flying objects carrying some strangely colored control cards in the territory of all the "households" to hunt and even torture animals with divine power, the warriors of the "households" saw it from afar, and were very afraid, and after the leaders of the tribes held a meeting together, they unanimously decided to reduce the frequency of ground activities and try to avoid those guys in the sky, so they were not discovered.

Mulma told them that the strange demons were demons who would come back sooner or later, and that David was a god sent from heaven to save and protect everyone.

David knew that the survey area of the human expeditionary force was demarcated, so it was unlikely that the expeditionary force would come to this area again in the near future, of course, searching for himself and Muma's troops was another matter.

After David understood the general situation and asked Mulma to announce that everyone could be disbanded, under the protection of Mulma, he could finally take off his backpack, take off his helmet, get into a "platypus" leather quilt, and sleep peacefully.
