Bai Wei's words were truly callous.
I know he's always been the kind of person who's all about getting by, but as the CEO of a company, he doesn't even have that much foresight.
I couldn't be bothered with him. I glanced at Wang Ping and then at the situation below.
“I think these barbarians probably knew we were here all along, but I don’t understand why they didn’t attack us first.”
Wang Ping whispered his doubts, and I sneered inwardly.
"Perhaps we are just food he raises, so he wants to fatten us up before eating us."
Because I had previously found some skeletal remains outside that apple orchard.
There were teeth marks on those bones, but I never mentioned these things to Wang Ping or the others.
Firstly, I was afraid of causing panic, and secondly, at the time I didn't know whether those teeth marks were actually human.
But now that I think about it, it must have been those barbarians.
If they really are cannibals, then this matter will be even more troublesome. And if this is really as I think, then these foreigners really can't die, otherwise we will be even more isolated and helpless!
Just as I was hesitating about how to launch a surprise attack, a piercing scream suddenly came from down the mountain. The sound was so shrill that it sent chills down my spine.
I squinted intently, carefully observing the group of foreigners' ships below the mountain, and then I noticed that the barbarian leading them seemed to have been shot down.
He was now lying on the ship, while the group of barbarians who had been cheering were now attacking the foreigners on the ship with their club-like weapons.
One of the foreigners had a stick-like object piercing his chest, and he lay motionless on the deck of the bed, his fate unknown.
The other foreigners, though all carrying guns, didn't make a single move.
Bai Wei couldn't help but make sarcastic remarks: "See? They're just a bunch of bullies who prey on the weak. They were so aggressive when they were bullying us, but now that they've been driven to the brink of despair by this bunch of nobody, they don't dare to fight back. Humph, why bother with them?"
Wang Ping grew anxious and gritted his teeth as he looked at Bai Wei.
"President Bai, could you please stop making sarcastic remarks? The principle of 'collateral damage' is so simple, you should understand it, right? If they really die, it won't benefit us at all!"
Bai Wei had never been so belittled by his subordinates before, and his face immediately turned ugly after hearing Wang Ping's words.
I tugged at Wang Ping, telling him not to get into a conflict.
Wang Ping gritted his teeth and shouted, "I think we have to help them!"
Now that blood has been drawn, I have no time to delay any longer. I raised my hunting rifle and fired a shot hard at the feet of those barbarians.
However, because the shotgun's range wasn't very far, the bullet only hit the beach about six or seven meters away from them, kicking up a large cloud of sand.
The group of barbarians who had already cornered the foreigners on the deck turned around and stared at us when they heard the gunshot.
Bai Wei's voice trembled as he glared at me through gritted teeth: "Zhao Sihai, are you fucking crazy? Aren't you just helping them draw our fire? If we get killed by them, you won't have the heart to be a hero here!"
There's no turning back now that the arrow has been released; my shot has already revealed our position.
Xiao Qiang and the others inside the cave also peeked at me through the crack in the door, their faces full of worry.
I gave her a smirk: "Stay here and be careful, whatever you do, don't go out, understand?"
Xiao Qiang gritted her teeth and then closed the wooden door of the cave.
I stood up, looked down at the foreigners' cabin below the mountain, and shouted.
"I don't know if you can understand Mandarin, but I want to tell you that we are not easy to bully. If you dare to lay a hand on them again, then I will lay a hand on you. At worst, we will both be injured and no one will come out unscathed!"
Immediately afterwards, as if we were on the same wavelength, Chen Jian started throwing stones down the mountain from the top, continuing for more than ten seconds, probably dozens of stones.
The barbarians' attention was completely drawn to us.
They all stared in disbelief, not knowing what they were thinking. Soon, one of the barbarians, who had the most things on his head, raised his head and shouted a long string of words at my mountaintop, but I couldn't understand what he was saying.
After all, I can't even understand foreign languages, let alone this damn gibberish.
Those foreigners probably never expected me to come to their aid. After their initial shock, they gripped their guns tightly and looked at each other in bewilderment.
One of the women tried to pull the foreigner who had been lying on the deck toward the cabin, but this action backfired.
The savages, like wolves guarding their prey, suddenly charged forward, sticks in hand.
Fortunately, the woman reacted quickly, dodging one of the club-shaped weapons with a sidestep and running into the cabin.
Then I saw the group of barbarians stab the foreigner again with their clubs.
The foreigner might have struggled a little before he was completely dead, but he should be completely cold now.
After shouting a long string of "Ura ura ura" at me, the group of barbarians rushed forward and dragged the foreigner off the ship.
That feeling is just like when I was killing a wild boar and skinning it.
The first time I killed a wild boar, I felt a chill run down my spine and my heart pounded for a long time. But this time, I watched helplessly as one of my kind was dragged away in such a cruel way by these savages. I just couldn't bear it.
But there's nothing I can do to change this situation.
I kept my gun raised to prevent them from turning around and attacking my mountaintop again, but who knew that these barbarians, after leaving that foreigner, would head straight into the woods.
As the foreigner was dragged on the ground, his blood congealed into clots on the beach, which terrified me.
After waiting for about half an hour, I saw that the group of barbarians really had no intention of coming back, so I breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Jian and the others ran down from the mountaintop. Chen Jian looked at me, his face pale.
"Those barbarians from Brother Sihai dragged that foreigner's body away, what if... what if?"
Chen Jian didn't finish his sentence, but everyone present understood what he was about to say.
We thought our only formidable enemies were this group of foreigners and Lin Xubo, who betrayed us and kept stirring up trouble. But now it seems that this third-party force is more ruthless and terrifying than we imagined.
