Chapter 274: The Captain's Choice
"I know in my heart that the root cause of this matter is ultimately due to the fact that we, to be precise, the key and the map in our hands, and I am not willing to bring such a catastrophe to this indigenous tribe at the same time, and they are not obliged to bear this danger with me."
"I'm sorry enough for them. So I decided not to bother them any more, so I briefly communicated with their leader and left the place on my own. I don't know how to face my crew, I just feel that they deserve to live, and now it seems that I really can't say goodbye to them, if this turmoil can pass, I hope they can find their way back, if not, I hope all of them can live well!"
Reading this, almost everyone connected all these clues in series, and many doubts in their hearts were also explained.
Among them, Liu Keying, who had some misunderstandings about this captain at the beginning, couldn't help but show a guilty expression at this moment, slowly lowered her head, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
"At the same time, I have also discussed with their leader to hide the news and whereabouts of our people, and there is no need to mention it in the future, and from now on beware of cannibals, as long as they do not set foot in that area, it is impossible for the cannibal tribe to attack them again. Their leader granted my request, and said that the southern edge of the island would henceforth be a forbidden place for them, and no one would be allowed to set foot in it. And so, I set out on my own way back, and at the same time, I wanted to test a very bold conjecture in my heart."
"I slipped back onto the ship by myself, locking myself in a small wheelhouse in the cargo compartment on the lower floor, and it was a strange feeling that I felt more relaxed than I had ever felt before. The next day, I could clearly feel a lot of footsteps above my head, on the deck of the broken ship, and some language I didn't understand, and I realized that the cannibals had arrived. This also confirms my previous suspicion that cannibals have a special sense of this golden key or map, and can roughly sense where they are, so they will find this place."
"I'm glad I left the tribe early, otherwise these cannibals would have found them again, and it would have been a huge catastrophe!"
"I sealed the wooden door outside without making a sound, but fortunately the cannibals were very unfamiliar with this place and found no trace of me. I just want to sleep here with all my secrets right now."
"No matter what the purpose of these cannibals is, I will not let them succeed, I want to destroy these two things, but in the end I can't do it, so I can only seal them, I found a chest, this box is at least a few hundred years before it can be weathered, I am no longer there at that time, it doesn't matter about these!"
"I've been fainting from hunger these days, and reason tells me that these cannibals are still wandering around, and they can definitely feel the traces of the key and the map! Then I would not have been able to let them succeed, but the hunger and lack of water in my body made me devastated, so I tried to commit suicide, and before I died, I left this diary to record my series of bewildering stories."
The handwriting came to an abrupt end here, Li Fei did not continue to read, but closed the diary, and everyone fell into a short silence.
"When I got this journal, I did get it in a damaged box." Taju spoke at this time, confirming the statement in the captain's diary.
At this time, the Great Elder also slowly and leisurely chose to speak: "The story about those people is very long, and I have heard my father mention it. After the captain left here, we sent people to see it, and his sailors went to check on the situation."
"The cannibals only remained on the broken ship for a long time, never leaving, and as the captain had expected, the cannibals did not attack our island again. So the patriarch of that year ordered that no one should set foot in the forbidden land in the south."
"Since the sailors were all men, decades later, they were all old and dead, so they didn't
He left behind an heir and a descendant. Our tribe has been passed down from generation to generation for so many years, and few people know about it, and over time, even everyone only knows that there are cannibals on the other side of the island."
After listening to the Great Elder's addition, several people fell into silence, and all the clues in this series were placed in front of them, and it was really a particularly brain-burning thing to connect them.
Fortunately, Li Fei had a little clue, "Those cannibals should not have found the key and map in the end, so over time, they began not to look for them, but to protect these two things from being taken away by others. It just so happened that day that we broke in and took the keys and map, so that's why we were suddenly attacked by cannibals. And the reason why that man didn't fight with me was to go back and pass on the information."...
Li Fei's nod made the development of the matter a little more contextual, and Zhang Ting also continued to analyze his words at this time: "And then the reason why they set fire to the boat is that they all felt it, and the things they were guarding or wanted were no longer on the ship, since they sensed these things, it means that they can also find here?"
Several people looked at each other in unison, although no one nodded, but they all had answers in their hearts.
"Captain, what's next for us?" Liu Keying groaned, and at the same time, his eyes involuntarily glanced over and looked at Li Fei.
In fact, for Liu Keying, she doesn't want a war, after all, the innate fear of cannibals still has some influence.
But Li Fei's opinion is just as important, and even his opinion is the most important.
Everyone was holding their breath at the moment, did not speak, and focused on Li Fei's body, waiting for his next arrangement.
Basically, their team has formed a consensus that everyone may have opinions on small things, and may even have conflicts.
But basically when something big happens, everyone will choose to shut up and wait for Li Fei to express his opinion.
