Still confused, I looked at Chen Jian and asked suspiciously, "What happened on the beach again? Weren't you out looking for food? Did you run into mutated crabs again? Or did the crabs on the beach not recede and stay there?"
Bai Wei, who was standing to the side, was also panting heavily. He threw down the large knife in his hand and collapsed to the ground.
"Oh my god, the crabs are gone, but there are a lot of human footprints on the beach. At first, we thought it was because the pirates were looking for us. We were so scared when we went out to look for things that we hurriedly tried to run back into the woods to find a place to hide."
"But after we hid, we found a bunch of people on the beach, but they didn't look like people. Ugh, how do I describe them?"
Bai Wei paused mid-sentence and looked at Chen Jian, seemingly speechless.
Chen Jian sighed. Just then, Wang Xiaoxiao and Xiao Qiang came out from inside, handing the iron water cups we had made earlier to Bai Wei and Chen Jian.
"You two shouldn't rush to drink some water. Take a moment to calm down before we talk about what exactly happened on the beach."
Chen Jian took a sip of water and then came to his senses.
“We found some things on the beach. They were all black and looked like people, but not quite, because if they were people, they wouldn’t move so mechanically. So we observed them for a long time and found that they were just walking back and forth on the beach without any purpose, and there were quite a lot of them.”
Hearing this, I was also a little confused. What does it mean to be "both human and not human"? And why is it black?
Bai Wei picked up where Chen Jian left off: "They were all black, but their limbs were human-like, and they kept walking back and forth with their heads down, and we don't know what they were looking for."
"Or is it like a robot that's been programmed? Anyway, it's very strange."
Hearing Bai Wei and Chen Jian describe it so vaguely, I was immediately puzzled and became even more curious.
If anything strange were to happen on this deserted island, I would be mentally prepared. But what is the origin of this thing that looks like a human but isn't?
At this moment, Wang Ping walked out from behind me and looked at me: "Sihai, I don't think the two of them can explain this clearly. Why don't we go and take a look? Whatever it is, it probably isn't anything good."
"Even if they pose no threat to us now, who can guarantee they won't in the future? In any case, knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory. We must take the initiative and find out what they are so that we can be mentally prepared!"
Wang Ping's suggestion made me even more convinced that I should probably go to the beach.
After all, from Chen Jian and Bai Wei's description, I couldn't understand what that dark, constantly moving mechanical thing on the beach was at all.
Finally, we made some arrangements, and it was decided that I would take Wang Ping and 008 out to take a look.
Although Wang Xiaoxiao and the others were a little worried, they had witnessed 008's prowess in the past two days, so they only gave them some instructions and then asked me and Wang Ping to carefully lead 008 around the woods.
Then I walked to the beach and leaned against a pile of rocks next to the beach trees, looking out at the beach.
However, they did not find the mechanical black thing that Chen Jian and Bai Wei had described.
Wang Ping asked with some doubt, "Could it be that the two of them saw it wrong?"
I shook my head: "It shouldn't be possible. How could someone be mistaken in broad daylight? And even if one person was mistaken, how could more than a dozen people be mistaken at the same time? So I think there must be something going on. Let's wait and see."
Before I could finish speaking, 008 suddenly spoke up: "An unidentified object has appeared 500 meters ahead. Should we attack it?"
I quickly tapped 008 to signal him to be quiet.
008 fell silent when he saw my actions.
Wang Ping and I looked towards the beach at the same time, and then we discovered that there were indeed many black shadows on the beach.
Their steps were very synchronized, and their heights were also very similar. Just as Chen Jian and Bai Wei had described, they all had their heads down, with a relatively long distance between each person, as if they were searching for something. Their steps were also very synchronized.
And indeed, it was completely black...
What is this?
There seem to be more than twenty of them. Are these people even human?
I shook my head: "How can we be sure? After all, we are too far away to see clearly. But even Africans are not normally this dark-skinned. Their darkness is not just a matter of skin color."
Wang Ping also frowned: "Yeah, even if it's a Black person, this is way too black."
"I don't understand why something like this would appear. No wonder Chen Jian and Baiwei are indescribable. If it were me now, I wouldn't be able to find the right words either."
We watched for a while, and then 008 beside us made another move: "The target is approaching, Master, may we attack?"
I was startled, and then I realized that those dark things were approaching the woods.
Wang Ping panicked and immediately grabbed his gun to be on guard.
"Sihai, this won't do. If this thing comes over and becomes aggressive, the two of us carrying this robot might not be able to withstand it. You retreat first, and I'll cover your retreat."
"What are you saying? If we're going to leave, we'll leave together!"
But then something unexpected happened in the woods. A series of gunshots rang out, and then a person rushed out of the woods in a hurry. She was so fast that she was about to run out of the woods and onto the beach.
I started to panic. Regardless of her background, if she rushed out like this, those black things moving on the beach would definitely be attracted immediately.
If those black things were to actually rush into the woods, Wang Ping and I would be in real trouble.
We cannot act rashly without knowing exactly what that thing is.
So I immediately moved quickly toward the figure, but who knew that the figure was probably too flustered, and when it ran in front of me, before I could move, it stepped off course and fell to the ground.
I immediately seized the opportunity and rushed forward, only to discover that the person was actually Mu Cuo.
Mu Cuo was in a very disheveled state, covered in blood, clearly having been through a fierce battle.
When Mu Cuo looked up and saw the fear in my eyes, her expression instantly turned to confusion and grievance.
She immediately threw herself into my arms, trembling all over: "Fourth Brother, please, please save us!"
