Chapter 125 Sleepy

Although everyone is well aware of their current situation, there is still a trace of fantasy in their hearts, fantasizing about suddenly seeing their ship appear on the sea to pick them up and take them out of here.

But as the days passed in their waiting, this hope became more and more remote. On the fifth day, no one had a fantasy that Anthony would bring a boat to save them. What they had to face was how to solve the problem of being full first.

When Anthony asked them to go ashore to find the chicken cage Bay from the shore and attack the fort and the chicken cage bay castle, he did not unload all the food on the ship to the shore. Their destination was not here, but their final destination should be chicken cage bay, so most of the food was left on the ship. Be ready to supply them along the coastline at any time.

But I didn't expect the sea wolf fleet to come so fast that it didn't even leave them a chance to unload more food and supplies, so it kicked off the war. In the end, their fleet was defeated and only gave them a small amount of food left.

These unloaded food are barely enough for them to eat for five days, and they also have to deduct what the slaves brought to eat, and only give the slaves a little porridge every day to prevent them from starving to death, and they dare not let go of eating.

Even so, their food is almost bottomed out on the fifth day, which can last for another three or four days, and they will completely run out of food.

The commander of the infantry on the shore is named Gerard. These days, he has taken his infantry to repair the fortifications desperately for fear that pirates will attack them.

But now he understands that the pirates actually don't want to attack them at all, but have to watch them eat up the food little by little and get rid of them when they are hungry.

At this time, Gerrard can be said to be completely dizzy. This is Taiwan Island, a place they are not familiar with. They have heard a lot of rumors here.

Rumor has it that there are a large number of indigenous and cannibals living in the jungle here. They haunt the mountains and forests, like ghosts, specializing in hunting and killing people.

And in the mountains and forests here, there is miasma, and there is no possibility of life. In addition, there are many mosquitoes here, and there are many rainy days. They are in the camp every day, and the sky will rain from time to time, making their camp muddy, and mosquitoes and flies are rampant everywhere.

The soldiers are like trapped beasts, trapped in this simple barracks, squeezed into wet tents, and there is no clean fresh water. In the past few days, many people have begun to have diarrhea, and some people have fallen ill.

The bigger problem is that their food is about to run out. If they stay here, they will run out of food in a few days. In just two or three days, they will be hungry and soft. If they don't need pirates to attack them, they will completely lose their resistance.

So some people began to propose to leave here, escape far away from here, find a place suitable for survival, and stay away from these pirates. With their hundreds of people, ordinary indigenous people dare not do anything to do anything to them.

This suggestion is very ** and immediately received the support of many people. Many people are clamoring to leave here, and the sooner the better. It can't be delayed any longer. Otherwise, they will run out of food, and then they will not be able to go there.

But such a proposal has been met by others, and their reasons are also sufficient, because they are very unfamiliar with the environment here, and there is no map to refer to, and there is no guide to guide them out of here to find a place for them to survive.

With no map and guide at all, it is impossible to march in such an environment. It is full of mountains and forests, grass and mosquitoes are rampant, and the mountains and forests are also full of snakes and insects. It is undoubtedly similar to suicide. They don't There is a chance to walk out of this mountain forest and find a place for them to survive.

In addition, there are many cannibals in the mountains and forests. They secretly coveted them. If they are not careful, they will be caught and eaten by cannibals.

Thinking about these things makes people shudder, so many people would rather starve to death here than enter these strange jungles and eventually become snakes, insects, beasts or food for life.

These two opinions have their own markets in the camp, so the debate is so fierce that there are even fights for them.

As the commander here, Gerald has to consider all the opinions. At first, he was a little inclined to the first opinion. There is no future to stay here. There is no need to think about attacking Chickenlong wan. There are so many reinforcements, and they don't even have a heavy gun. There are as many cannons as cattle. If they dare to go, they can bombard them all with cannons without even taking a picture of their faces, so it is more appropriate for them to leave this dangerous place.

But after careful consideration, he found that the first opinion is indeed too risky. What others said is very reasonable. In this completely strange environment, hundreds of people have drilled into this place without supplies, no backup, no supplement, no maps, and no guides. In some jungles, they are simply looking for their own death.

This dense jungle devours them. It is estimated that even the scum will not be left to them. After they enter the mountain, it is estimated that they will soon get lost, and they can't even tell the direction. It's just a joke to go around to find a place for them to survive. The final result is definitely Become a big meal in the mouth of food.

So he gave up the idea of taking people away from here, but how long can he stay here?

In the past two days, he sent two teams of ten people to leave the camp and go hunting in the nearby mountains and forests to supplement some food through hunting and collecting, but the two teams did not come back after leaving the camp. Instead, they heard a few gunshots in the mountains and forests outside from afar, and never again. There is movement.

So he almost guessed the end of the two small teams sent out. In fact, these pirates did not abandon them. In fact, the pirates had already sent people around and stared at them. The hunting team he sent must have met these pirates, either killed by them all, or they were killed. They were captured.

So it is obviously a stupid decision to continue to send hunting teams abroad, but if they don't hunt, they will cut off food immediately.

Gerard is now anxious and doesn't know what to do at all. They don't have boats on hand now. The only two speedboats have also been injured at this time and stranded in the shallows on the shore. Obviously, there is no possibility to rely on them to leave here with so many people.

Escape from here, take the land road, and the coast. The sea wolf controls the sea. As long as they are found, they will immediately return to shell them. They can only be beaten. So many people will be bombarded. It must be chaotic. At that time, they can't put it away even if they want to collect it. Needless to enter the mountain, it's pure act of looking for death.

So he had to bravely and continue to send people out to hunt. Sure enough, the hunting team that went out this time had not left the camp for a long time. They heard a gunshot in the mountains and forests. After a while, two or three soldiers abandoned their armor and fled back to the camp.

"They are all devils! They are all devils! ..." The soldiers who narrowly fled back to the camp were scared white. After entering the camp, they fell to the ground one by one and said incoherently.

After a while, the three soldiers calmed down a little and reported to Gerard, "They are all devils. We can't see them at all, so we were ambushed by them!"

The people we walked at the end disappeared one after another. We didn't even hear a sound, and they were captured by the devils!

We shot around, but there were crossbows and blowing arrows everywhere in the forest. We couldn't see where they were, so we were shot to the ground one after another!"

After hearing the report of these escaped soldiers, those who were still jumping high and asked to leave here were suddenly discouraged. If they had said so, even if they entered the jungle in groups, they would be cleaned up one by one, and may not even see the other party's figure. , died of life.

What people are most afraid of is not how powerful the enemy is, but how powerful they can't see the enemy. The danger is around them all the time, and they must maintain a high degree of vigilance all the time. It's okay for a short time, but as time goes by, people will completely collapse. This kind of thing, when they used to go to the mountains to chase and suppress this kind of thing when they were in Luzon Island. Some indigenous people once met, and some people went crazy on the spot and became nervous after fleeing back.

So now after listening to these soldiers, even if they are allowed to leave, they dare not enter these jungles again.

"These damn Chinese pirates want to trap us here! Are they going to starve us all to death? ..." Someone began to hold his head in despair and shouted.

"God! What kind of enemy did we meet? Please come and save us..." Someone thought of their God again at this time.

The whole camp was in a mess. Some people cried, some people shouted, some people jumped, and some people silently sat on the muddy ground with their heads in their arms.

When they were in a mess, someone on the camp shouted, "Look, there's someone over there!" A small boat is docking!"

"Prepare for battle! Get up quickly and get ready to fight! ..." As soon as Gerrard heard this, he kicked the soldiers onto the barracks one by one with his leather boots. Many people quickly ran to take out their rifles, ran up to the wall, lay on the wall, and began to look out.
