Bai Wei let out a howl, his face changed completely, and then he fell to the ground, the pointed fork in his hand flying out of his grasp.
At that moment, the indigenous people also raised their weapons and rushed towards our group.
I was furious and terrified at the same time. I felt that we might not be able to return alive this time, so I had to fight to the death no matter what.
I gritted my teeth, raised my gun, and fired indiscriminately at them.
But to everyone's surprise, these indigenous people were very efficient, and they even took out stone-like objects from behind them to block the way.
I was stunned at first, but quickly realized that this was actually a shield!
These indigenous people are actually quite amazing; they were able to invent something like this!
Meanwhile, the crowd had to hide among the vehicles and the indigenous people, making the battle extremely tense.
All we could hear around us was our people screaming in agony, while the indigenous people brandished their weapons with ferocious force. We dared not slacken our vigilance for a moment.
But I kept thinking that to catch the thief, you have to catch the king first. If we really want to get rid of these indigenous people, the most important thing is to catch that old indigenous man who is standing at the front dressed in a fancy way.
Only by capturing him might we have a chance to negotiate. However, these indigenous people clearly knew that the old man was of noble status and kept him tightly behind them. At some point, the old man took out a white object and put it in his mouth and sucked it twice. Only then did I realize that the whistling sound I had just heard was coming from this thing.
With those two whistles, the lynxes around us became even more ferocious. It was then that I realized that these lynxes hadn't suddenly appeared here; they were domesticated by these indigenous people.
That's why they suddenly rushed out of the woods and attacked us.
This is an accomplice!
"Wang Ping killed them, regardless of whether they were human or not. Now we have no choice but to fight to the death!"
While holding the gun in my hand, I snatched the pointed fork that Bai Wei had been holding and started attacking the indigenous people who kept rushing towards me.
He yelled loudly at Wang Ping.
Then, from the very end of the crowd, Wang Ping responded with a somewhat excited voice, and immediately we were fighting.
At first, we were in a relatively good situation because we had guns. But gradually our bullets ran out, and the indigenous people were wearing shield-like things on their chests, so we didn't feel anything when we were hit by bullets.
Only by hitting accurately can you break that thing.
Fortunately, my marksmanship is pretty good; I was able to kill an indigenous person with three shots.
But the old native man kept blowing that white whistle from behind the crowd.
These lynxes clung to us like they had no regard for their own lives.
This situation lasted for more than ten minutes. We watched as our group shrank into a smaller and smaller circle, while the indigenous people had completely surrounded us.
We were all carrying torches, and our faces were covered in wounds. The lynxes stood at a distance with their backs hunched over, clearly looking for an opportunity to attack.
A wave of despair washed over me. The current situation was extremely unfavorable for us. If we couldn't find a way to escape, we would all be wiped out tonight.
Bai Wei was shot by that thing, and now he was lying on the ground with his eyes rolled back, it was hard to tell whether he was really unconscious or just pretending.
But even if Bai Wei stood up and joined the fight at this moment, he wouldn't be very effective.
By the time we were all surrounded by the indigenous people, the despair in my heart had grown infinitely larger.
No! It looks like we're really doomed now!
I didn't have many bullets left; I only had a dozen or so left. I didn't know how many bullets were left in the gun, but even those loaded into the gun, there were still more than 20 of these indigenous people standing around, armed with the weapons they had made, watching us menacingly, besides those we had killed.
After surrounding us, they even slammed the sticks on the ground, making a rhythmic thumping sound, and gradually began to mutter strange roars.
Wang Ping stood next to me, his face covered in blood, and said coldly, "They're celebrating, aren't they?"
It seems that if we can't escape, we'll end up like that foreign friend, dumped and our blood used as a sacrifice on the pile of stones.
He picked up a very thick tree trunk from somewhere and held it across his chest, his face showing a fierce look I had never seen before.
He wiped the blood from his face, looked at me and Wang Ping, and said coldly, "Brother Sihai! I think if we can't fight our way out tonight, we should at least die with dignity. Otherwise, if they catch us, we'll be tortured to death like cats and dogs!"
Looking at him, I couldn't help but admire him. This kid had been inconspicuous in the group before, but I never expected him to be such a formidable character.
However, brute force is absolutely not an option to break through; we must find a way, and a way to completely escape.
Just as I was quickly thinking about what to do, the old indigenous man who had been standing at the very back of the indigenous people slowly walked out from behind, holding a stick.
He stood in front of us, babbling on and on in a language I couldn't understand at all. Then, one by one, the lynxes left our circle and disappeared into the woods.
I was stunned. Oh no, this old native must think we're at a disadvantage now, and that the lynxes are already in our grasp even without their help, which is why he's so arrogant.
Just as the old local man was about to attack us with that thing in his hand, a signal smoke suddenly appeared not far away outside the woods!
The signal smoke suddenly exploded outside with a loud pop, accompanied by a sharp screech.
The indigenous people were taken aback at first, but then they immediately tensed up and raised their weapons above their heads.
But the old man's eyes remained calm and serene.
Clearly, this old man was the tough guy in their group.
After seeing the signal flare, Wang Ping first stood up, then leaned close to me and whispered, "Could it be Yang Rui and his gang coming? Are we saved?"
I shook my head: "I don't know, but even if they come, do you think those few people can really repel these indigenous people?"
Wang Ping shook his head: "I don't know, but if they come, they must have other weapons. If that's the case, our situation won't be so difficult!"
