Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 782 Internal Conflict and Antibodies

The next morning, after leaving the Novice Village, Chu Xiangqian appeared in the camp of the team that went into the mountains to search for diamond mines.

After releasing the tits, they only flew eight or nine kilometers and found a team of more than 60 people.

And behind this team, Chu Xiangqian saw at least a dozen corpses through the mountain sparrow's line of sight.

It seems that this group of people had a hard time escaping last night.

The titmouse landed on a big tree. Chu Xiangqian quickly saw that the physical condition and mood of these 60-odd people were not good. They were tired and hungry and sat down under a large rock crack.

Although there was water dripping from the rock peaks here, it was inevitable to be hungry after running all night.

But they did not dare to go out hunting, let alone make a fire, for fear that the giant ape would chase them and cause another war.

Although there is no shortage of water for the time being, not eating for two days can make people hungry and weak.

So a few people who looked like leaders were sitting together, whispering to each other.

After a while, they actually started arguing. Chu Xiangqian felt a little regretful that he didn't let Huang Diao'er follow Shanque.

Otherwise you could hear what these people are saying right now.

But then I thought, although I know quite a few foreign languages, I really can't speak the native African dialect.

Even if these Hey people can speak English or French, they must speak their indigenous language to each other.

When Chu Xiangqian was sighing with emotion, he suddenly saw that these 60 or so uncles split into two groups, drew their swords, guns, and bows and started to confront each other.

I just watched the fun for a short while. I don't know what these people said, but they actually put down their weapons and started listening to the instigation of a middle-aged man. They started to become more aggressive.

But after a while, these people began to split into groups of three or five, some sitting or lying down to rest.

Chu Xiangqian felt puzzled, but then he thought that these people might have decided to go back, break through the giant ape's blockade and escape from the rain forest.

Or they could agree to escape by another route.

Chu Xiangqian asked Shanque to keep an eye on this group of people for a while, but he found that they had no intention of taking any action. He wanted to let Shanque leave first and look for other people who had escaped, especially those who were still alive.

But just a few seconds after the tit took off, it saw a few people in the rainforest running quickly towards the big crack.

At first glance, you can tell that this must be the spy that was sent out before.

Chu Xiangqian thought about it and decided that this group of people couldn’t go far in a day anyway, so he let the tit fly out to look for Fanuo Lao first.

Then fly back every half an hour to take a look. After all, humans can only walk three or four kilometers per hour in the rainforest.

This is because these people live next to the rainforest. Otherwise, for a normal person, walking two or three kilometers per hour would be considered fast.

For a tit, this distance only takes a dozen seconds to fly.
-
While directing the tit to continue searching, Chu Xiangqian thought about it and went into the camp to search.

Unfortunately, even in the camp of those 40 or so Frenchwomen, nothing good was found.

However, the two Hotchkiss heavy machine guns did arouse his interest.

This type of machine gun is actually similar to the Type 92 machine gun we use today, or in other words, the Type 92 machine gun is an imitation of the Hotchkiss heavy machine gun.

Unfortunately, the Hotchkiss heavy machine gun itself was not very good, and the Type 92 machine gun that was copied from it was even worse.

Moreover, it took 22 people to serve one machine gun. In terms of efficiency, it can be said to be the worst heavy machine gun during World War II.

However, it is a heavy machine gun after all, and its firepower is indeed much stronger than that of a light machine gun.

Chu Xiangqian only took a look at the feeding mode of this gun and lost interest in this kind of firearm that needed to be fed by a magazine made of stamped steel or brass plates.

You can tell at a glance that the theoretical firing rate of this thing might be six or seven hundred rounds per minute, but in actual operation, it would take three or four people just to fire it.

At the same time, it is also impossible to reach the theoretical shooting speed.

Compared with the G42 general-purpose machine gun, it is not suitable for Chu Xiangqian to use alone.

That's trash to him.

But on second thought, it is a heavy machine gun after all, maybe I can sell it for a good price someday.

Or you can exchange it with Uncle Hey for diamonds, gold or something.

So Chu Xiangqian casually put the two heavy machine guns, and more than a dozen boxes of bullets and spare parts into the Novice Village warehouse.

As for other things in the camp, except for the medicines and food, Chu Xiangqian searched them thoroughly, then jumped onto a tree and chased in the direction of the dozen or so French women who had been found by Shanque during the half-hour search of the camp.

Along the way, we also saw four bodies of foreigners abandoned in the rainforest.

When we got closer to the place where the foreigners were resting, we saw a few foreigners who were also abandoned and looked weak all over. They seemed to be dehydrated or had a fever.

Chu Xiangqian stood on the tree and watched for a while, and soon determined that although these people were still alive, they would not be able to hold on for much longer.

As for those who were separated from the main force, Chu Xiangqian would not care at all.

As a result, there is no need to rush into action.

What Chu Xiangqian didn't expect was that when he dropped the tit back to check on the situation of the 60 or so people, he actually found that these people were moving towards him.

This made Chu Xiangqian frown.

The first thought that came to my mind was that these 60 or so Hey people wanted to join up with the French woman, and I was thinking about going back to defeat those Hey people first.

But on second thought, there were only 7 or 80 people gathered together, and it should be easy to kill all of them when the giant ape attacked at night.

However, after resting for more than an hour, the group of French women forced themselves to continue walking eastward despite their physical discomfort.

Through the sight of the titmouse flying high in the sky, Chu Xiangqian was surprised to find that these dozen or so French women actually wanted to go to the camp of the River Diamond Mine.

Damn it, this is a matter of money over life.

But what Chu Xiangqian didn't know was that this group mobilized so many people, plus the expenses on equipment and materials.

If they don't find diamond mines and diamonds, even if these people escape from the rainforest, they will only suffer a huge loss or go bankrupt due to being unable to repay their debts.

In addition, the giant ape's sneak attack last night really made them afraid to go back, so they gritted their teeth and simply continued to move forward.

Maybe we can find medicine and food when we reach the river camp.

Of course, they were more afraid to go back. If they encountered people from the Hey tribe and had no money to pay the commission, they might be buried in the rainforest by these black uncles.

Chu Xiangqian followed for a whole day, during which time Shanque had already discovered the other two groups of Hey people who were escaping in different groups.

But both teams were heading north. Looking at the map, one could tell that the journey was at least 140 to 150 kilometers, and there was no way for a woman to follow them, so Chu Xiangqian naturally had no intention of paying attention to them.

So in the afternoon, Chu Xiangqian's attention was all focused on Faguo Lao and the team of more than 60 people.

At around 5 p.m., a dozen or so French women had only walked or kilometers intermittently and had to stop on a hillside where the trees were not densely populated.

From Chu Xiangqian's point of view, spending the night in this place was indeed a good idea.

The tit flew back for a few minutes and soon found that the 60 or so people were getting closer and closer. These people were obviously much faster than the French woman. They would catch up in about two hours at most.

Chu Xiangqian thought about it and saw that the French woman was using a machete to cut down branches, planning to build a simple camp. It was getting dark, and no one wanted to go through the difficult experience of walking at night again.

So Chu Xiangqian went straight back to the Novice Village and took a bath in the fountain to escape the heat.

Then he rode on the Jade Lion of Zhaoye and took two hunting dogs and 22 giant apes to kill monsters.

By the way, the stables and the warehouses in the cattle and sheep pens were replenished with newly collected fodder.

We returned to the Novice Village before 7 o'clock in the evening, took out food and drinks, and feasted with the giant ape on the island in the middle of the lake.

Chu Xiangqian watched and eavesdropped for a while through the titmouse and the marten that were hiding around the Fanao camp.

After making sure that there was nothing unusual for the time being, he went to the Novice Village Restaurant to catch up on some sleep.

Before I knew it, it was past 10 o'clock at night, and I suddenly sensed the warning sounds of the tits and martens.

When Chu Xiangqian immediately focused his attention on Shanque's sight, he soon saw that the 60 or so Hey Uncles were quietly approaching the resting place of the dozen exhausted foreigners.

Chu Xiangqian instantly realized that his previous idea that they wanted to reunite was wrong.

These men had their swords and guns drawn, and their bows and arrows were ready to fire. It was obvious that they were planning a night attack.

This surprised and delighted Chu Xiangqian at the same time.

The figure immediately appeared on a big tree.

Ten minutes later, the two Frenchwomen who were on guard were probably tired and hungry and didn't notice the sneak attack at all.

Easily killed by bow and arrow.

However, when more than 60 people rushed into the camp, they were discovered by a few French women who were sleepy and tired but could not sleep peacefully.

After the first gunshot rang out, even though more than 60 people attacked fiercely, they were only able to be killed in one sweep by the automatic rifles.

The sound of gunfire and shouting lasted for several minutes. After suffering more than a dozen casualties, the 60-odd Hey Uncles not only hacked and killed or Faguo men, but also captured three Faguo men who seemed to be the leaders.

What Chu Xiangqian, who was just happy, didn't expect was that among the people who had successfully carried out the night attack and captured three ghost leaders, some people actually started to make fire and cut meat.

Chu Xiangqian couldn't help but feel uncomfortable in his stomach after seeing this.

He cursed, thinking that he didn't need to waste his energy just now as the dogs fought each other.

But eating his own kind would cross his bottom line.

Of course, if Chu Xiangqian was also starving to death, he might not care about anything and do anything to survive.

But this problem did not happen to him, so he naturally has a moral bottom line.

To put it bluntly, a large number of people are pushed into a corner and are willing to do anything.

The other part are either saints who would rather starve to death than cross the bottom line.

Or a coward.

While he summoned 22 giant apes, he ordered them to quietly approach the hillside.

He took out his hunting bow and shot an arrow at a man who was using a branch to impatiently pick up a skewer of meat several dozen meters away.

This arrow was the order to attack. The 22 giant apes that had approached the camp roared collectively and rushed up the hillside where there were few big trees.

For a time, the war between humans and giant apes began again.

However, this time the giant ape was too close and it was a sneak attack. Plus, with Chu Xiangqian standing on the tree as a sniper, it only took one round to defeat the frightened and panicked people.

Chu Xiangqian also used a bow and arrow to shoot and kill 6 targets in succession.

The giant ape suffered from poison arrows and bullets last night, so this time he will not rush around foolishly. He not only knows how to dodge the arrows shot at him, but also knows how to coordinate with other simple tactics such as forward attack and detour.

But even though the combination is simple, the effect is very good.

In less than two minutes, the 40 or so people who had fought with the Faguo guys were killed by the giant apes.

Afterwards, these giant apes ignored the three captured Fawo Lao and went straight through the camp into the rain forest in the dark. They circled around and returned to the big tree where Chu Xiangqian was. He took them all back to the Novice Village.

Chu Xiangqian looked at the three frightened Fawo Lao who were tied up, and ignored them for the time being. He also went into the Novice Village to treat the wounds of the two giant apes that were shot by arrows.

When we stormed the camp of more than 300 people last night, most of the giant apes were hit by arrows to varying degrees.

The most serious one had 9 arrows stuck in his body and was hit by 3 bullets.

Chu Xiangqian initially thought that the wooden and bone arrows of the Heiren were just tickling the giant ape.

As for being shot, the injury should not be too serious.

After all, he is 2 or 2 meters tall and weighs 3 to 400 kilograms. Even with a rifle, it should be difficult to kill him with one shot.

Of course, Chu Xiangqian used his mind to immediately move the giant ape that was shot back and took it into the Novice Village to drink the blood bottle.

However, most of these bone arrows were coated with poison.

I immediately remembered the documentaries I had watched in my previous life. The tribes living in the rainforest would basically smear the venom secreted by poison dart frogs, or some poisons grown on trees, on their arrows.

Most of these poisons are neurotoxins. As long as the arrow or dart sees blood, it will follow the path and bring back a prey in no time.

Then roast it over fire or boil it in water until it is thoroughly roasted or cooked through, which will decompose the poison in the prey's body.

Last night, the giant apes broke into the camp and drove the people in the camp deep into the rainforest. Within a dozen minutes, some of the giant apes began to show signs of poisoning.

Chu Xiangqian had to take most of the giant apes into the Novice Village. The other giant apes that were still safe chased for a few miles, frightened the fleeing ghosts and hey people, and then retreated and were taken back to the Novice Village.

It's a pity that there is no antidote in the Novice Village pharmacy, but there is no shortage of blood-replenishing buns and blood bottles.

As long as you have enough silver coins, you can buy as many bottles as you want.

Chu Xiangqian has been killing wild monsters in the Novice Village for more than three years and is no longer short of silver coins.

Moreover, African lions have a certain probability of relying on their bodies to resist the venom of the black mamba, and giant apes with stronger physiques will naturally have no problem either.

But Chu Xiangqian would not take any risks. Once the giant ape's health bar dropped to a certain level, he would feed them blood bottles.

In just three hours, even the giant ape that was most poisoned had overcome the poison in its body.

The next morning, after resting for 3 or 4 hours, I not only felt full of energy again, but there was no sign of poisoning at all.

Chu went forward into the Novice Village, pulled out the arrows from the two giant apes that were shot, and stared at the blood bars on their heads for a few minutes.

It was a pleasant surprise to find that after last night's hard fight, the two giant apes should have produced antibodies in their bodies.

Although he was still losing blood, the rate of blood loss was at least twice as slow.
