Chapter 270: The Captain's Logbook
"On February 4th, I now felt that I had no strength in my body, and three crew members had already died of lack of water on board. Fortunately, according to the first mate's report, there seemed to be a small island not far away, so I immediately ordered to go full speed."
"On the night of the 5th of February, we arrived at the island, which is not particularly rich in resources, but we replenished the fresh water resources, and on the morning of the next day, I was going to sail again, this time with more fresh water, and I did not want to die of thirst on board."
"In the early morning of February 7th, before dawn, we experienced a major accident, we were attacked by the ogre tribe on this island, since we disembarked this time without weapons, so naturally we were not the opponent of those ogres, and suddenly we suffered heavy casualties, and I fled to the ship with all the crew."
"When we fled in the boat, we saw with our own eyes that several of our companions were captured, and these cannibal demons had their limbs cut off with stone axes, roasted on the fire, and even eaten raw, and I don't think they were human!"
Li Fei thought of this, paused for a moment, and slowly took a sip of water, and everyone had a chance to discuss.
"Captain, these cannibals have been around for a long time, hundreds of years old." Liu Keying said excitedly.
"It's a pity that I have been breeding for hundreds of years, but I still live a life of drinking blood, and I haven't seen any development in a good place." Zhang Ting opened her mouth to speak, she pursed her eyes, as if to show her disdain for cannibals.
"I don't think so." Li Fei shook his head at this time, and immediately said his thoughts.
Everyone was also taken aback, and then they all looked at Li Fei and waited for the following.
After all, when it comes to IQ routines and analysis of the enemy, everyone present is probably not as good as one Li Fei combined.
"After so many years of development, they should have also developed some human intelligence, and based on my observations today, I think they should have developed a good consciousness, and they are no longer as brainless and incapable of thinking as before."
It is very clear in the captain's diary that these cannibals fight purely to death, and the fighting method is also the most primitive fist-to-flesh fight, without any routines.
"Why did the master say that?" When I heard Li Fei say that these cannibals already had some ideologies, Ta Ji should have reacted the most among all of them.
Because in any case, it is their tribe that is most in danger now, and the two sides are feuding after all.
"First, the cannibal I met underwater today, after I gave him a dagger, he didn't get angry, he didn't rashly attack me again, but swam away, this behavior I thought was particularly abnormal in hindsight, if you described it, should he fight me to the end?"
"Second, today we fired a shot at the place where the ship was broken, and those cannibal tribes clearly noticed us, you know, in their eyes, our existence is the same as that of prey, but why didn't they rush after us? Is this the way unwise people treat food?"
Li Fei only analyzed with everyone in an orderly manner, and the rest of them nodded involuntarily, and they all agreed with Li Fei's analysis.
It's just that everyone's state is a little low at the moment, especially Ta Zhu, who lowered his head and didn't say a word, as if he was thoughtful.
But Li Fei patted Ta Zhuo's shoulder and said, "Even if they have some basic consciousness of advancing and retreating, they will definitely not be our opponents in terms of brains!"
Ta Ji nodded with a little reassurance, but the sense of crisis in his heart had not yet dissipated.
"The cannibals have spotted us, do you think he will attack our island again?" Zhang Ting, who had not spoken much, suddenly threw out a fatal question at this time.
Only then did a few people come to their senses.
If those cannibals didn't rush after the three of them, but were just preparing for a bigger offensive, could it be that they were planning to invade the island in a big way?
Come to think of this
, a few people inadvertently had some hairs standing on end.
Li Fei was more courageous, so he opened his mouth to comfort a few people: "We have guns and ammunition in our hands, and we will arrange more traps from tomorrow, if these cannibals really dare to come, I can guarantee that they will not even be able to start hand-to-hand combat, and they will all be wiped out."
This is just like the ancient cavalry holding a spear and shield, stepping on a war horse, and using the simplest charging tactics, encountered a modern militarized, highly mobile, lethal tank, the basic combat effectiveness of the two sides is not at the same level.
"The captain is right, we don't have to think about the cannibals first, there are many patrols arranged outside the camp, and you can see as far as ten kilometers away, if the cannibals really invade, they will definitely come back in advance to report the news!" Immediately, Zhang Ting waved her hand and spoke.
Everyone nodded, they were more concerned about the back of the diary than the cannibal crisis.
"On the 9th of February, we left the island completely, and I counted the number of people, and we lost about twenty sailors, and now there were only about one hundred and twenty men left on board. But this should be good news for us, because it will take up a lot less resources."
"Since the fresh water has been replenished, everyone's mood has quickly returned to normal, and the cannibal incident has become a small episode in our matter, and everyone is full of confidence to go on the next trip, looking forward to returning to a new continent, God willing!"
"This captain is not a guy, his own sailor has been eaten by cannibals, and he even said that this is good news!" Liu Keying, who was jealous and hateful, took the lead in expressing her dissatisfaction and resentment.
"What he should be trying to say is that the rest of the hundred and twenty ran away, leaving only twenty behind, which is acceptable to him." Su Xue said timidly, she has never thought too badly of human nature.
"Even if he really thinks so, there is nothing wrong with that, our entire clan plus the survivor team is only more than fifty people, and the daily food consumption is already astronomical, not to mention that there are more than a hundred people on their ship." Zhang Ting has her own unique views on these things, so she is also seriously analyzing them at this moment.
