"It seems that the problem will have to be solved in advance." I pulled the bolt and reloaded the gun.
"Here we go again...
When I heard someone shout, I looked up, and out of the rocks jumped a strong man in silver armor, with loose hair and features like a monster's, and a gun like ours.
"Everybody take cover." I waved my hand around.
They didn't see us because there were hundreds of meters of rocks between them. One after another, there were thirty of them. They all look the same.
"What the hell is that?" Cui Bin expression strange: "how with the monster in the movie."
"Who knows." I only brought ten men with me. With ten guns, I had no chance of winning against thirty other men who also had guns, so I told Cui Bin and his men to get ready to shoot randomly with bows and arrows.
Thirty ugly fellows running about.
"Get out of here, will you?"
I was relieved to hear that they were speaking the aboriginal language. But still not careless.
But the savages now came out, and, moving nimbly between the rocks, came straight towards us.
"Fire, chief?"
"Don't shoot yet."
The wild people were obviously being chased by the ugly ones. They have known of our existence before, but still dare to run towards us, the purpose of course is only one, is to survive. If we shoot now, we'll scare the ugly ones, and more of us will die.
The wild men were not surprised or afraid when they came to us, and came and squatted down beside us.
"These guys are smart enough to draw fire on us." Cui Bin said with a wry smile.
As I saw the ugly creatures coming nearer, I coughed, shouted a blow, and then stood up and shot one of them. After he was shot, he looked down at the muzzle of the gun in his chest before falling.
Other ugly guys, also have to fight back, I quickly get down to reload. Soon some of our men were down. But the battle lasted only five or six minutes, and knocked all the uglies down. Six or seven of our men died.
We were on guard against the savages, but who would have thought our real opponents would be strange people.
After Cui Bin and his men rushed up, a dozen savages gathered together and looked at us timidly.
"Are we going to kill them all, chief?
I waved my hand: I had been curious about these savages the last time I met them. I wanted to see how they would react next.
After they had talked together for some time, they pushed out a creature that was beginning to turn white, and with twinkling eyes he came a few steps forward and fell on his knees. The others did the same.
When I was about to walk up, the people around me hurried closer.
When I came to them, I asked aloud, "Can you speak?"
The wild men looked up, and the one who had been pushed out opened his mouth and could only make a sound.
I put my hand behind my back and stretched out my other hand as if to pull it up.
It looked at it for a moment, put out its hand, and immediately withdrew it.
I raised my hand. "Get up."
He still wouldn't move, so I sent for food. After throwing it to them, the old man immediately shared the food with the others and knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.
Their bodies are very strong, if the body without hair, and people are really no different, especially the facial features are exactly the same. And short hair on the face and hands and feet.
All but two and a half children did not eat immediately.
Their cowardice, let me unload most of the defense. He reached out and pulled it up.
"More... Kaka." It smiled ingeniously.
And when I saw that they had their own language, I pointed to myself, saying, The prince.
"Princes..." Their imitation, although not very standard, but at least can say.
"Are you going to keep them, chief?" "Asked Zombo, coming up from behind.
"They came from another world, and it might be useful to keep them." I want to cultivate them as guides to another world.
At this time, Cui Bin sent someone to say that they had been checked and all died.
I asked everyone to stand back and see what the wild men were going to do. He made his way to the rock pile.
Thirty bodies had been brought together, the smallest one about six feet tall, the tallest two. They have no hair, but their skin is rough and their bones are thick. There was no hair on his head either, but it was all in a series of curls, like a bundle of flesh and bone. His forehead is broad and prominent, and his features are large. It's like being a monster.
I crouched down and opened one of the guys' mouths. Their teeth were bigger than normal, too, but the canine teeth were the same. The skin of whole body is brown, skin thick flesh rough, see blood vessel.
"Look at this." Cui Bin handed me the monster man's gun.
I took it and examined it carefully, and found that the monster man's gun was actually different from ours. When I opened the loading place, there were small iron arrows inside, which were divided into two layers and could only fire one at a time. After pulling the bolt, the spring between the layers would push the small arrows below up. I took a shot at the cliff. The crash made a small hole in the cliff.
"It's strange," Cui said. "They know how to use guns. Why are there small arrows inside?"
"In that world, I suppose, no sulfur or saltpeter was found. It's pretty cool, though, to be able to modify the gun to shoot with small arrows. It doesn't have to be a bullet. But the range is definitely worse than the bullets." I put my ideas out there.
"If there are guns, it means that the people who did the genetic experiments escaped to that world."
I tried to analyze: "Do you think that's the case? Some people had an accident when they were doing genetic experiments. Some of them were infected and mutated. Anyone who's safe wants to get on a plane and call for backup. But only some of them got away, the ones we found here, they shot them, they didn't make it. Mutated people, afraid of the people out of tune to bring a large army, afraid to run to another world."
Cui Bin thought for a while: "There is some truth, these monster people have guns, is that equivalent to saying that the mutant people look like this? And they produced a lot of offspring."
"It should be. They never came back, partly because of the desert, and partly because after a long time they didn't feel the need to come back and see what it was like." Otherwise, there's no way to explain the amount of ammo in the house.
"You can send someone to ask Uncle Cheng later."
"That's all right." Rather than ask Uncle Cheng, I think it's better to ask Lucy. When it comes to science, Cheng likes to associate thinking, just like he did with the soul. But it doesn't hurt to ask.
"Luckily we got rid of all thirty of them." Cui Bin said happily.
I asked him and his men to gather up all the equipment for the thirty corpses, and put them in a pile and burned them. I took ten men with guns and entered the crevice. You might want to check it out now.
When I came to a cave in the nearby desert, I saw dozens of alpacas inside, but they were much bigger and stronger than the alpacas raised by the big tribes, just like horses.
They're not afraid to see us coming.
Jompo said excitedly, "Chief, let's take all these long-necked beasts home and mate them with our own."
I looked back at the low hole. The alpaca couldn't get through. But it won't do us any good to make the hole bigger. You never know if there's gonna be another monster running around.
"Here is food, chief."
When I opened it, I found three sacks of flour and two sacks of wheat. This is in keeping with the Western preference for bread.
Having had all the grain loaded, I was puzzled about what to do with the thirty alpacas. Take them. They can't get through. It's too bad not to take them.
And I thought about it for a long time, and I decided that when we were on the other side of the world, our vicuna would not be as big as these big alpacas. In the long run the cave would have to be made bigger, though that would not be good for us. The best way is to choose the lesser of two evils.
