In fact, the gunfire was very small, but the island was very quiet and there was no wind, so they listened very carefully.
"Are you sure it's a gunshot?" Su Huilan asked. Petru is the expert in this regard.
Petru nodded in affirmation, looked at several birds flying in the woods in the distance and said, "it sounds like a large caliber pistol, maybe m29. Judging from the density of the jungle in front and the startled birds, it is less than two kilometers away from us."
“M29?”
Su Huilan remembered that the scientific research ship was equipped with a batch of guns, because the scientific research ship often had to go to the uninhabited areas where wild animals haunted for investigation, but most people engaged in scientific research did not use complex guns, so they specially equipped with a batch of hunting guns and large caliber pistols that could kill wild animals.
"It seems that there are not only savages, but also modern people on the island. The scream we heard just now may be the alarm that savages find someone invading." petru said. "The gunshot shows that they have turned in fire. We must be more careful."
Aoki agreed with him and said: "the situation is more complicated than expected, but it may also move in the direction we want. Before we divide the enemy and friends, we should not rush to do it. I think it is necessary to formulate a set of action plan, such as who is the leader of the three people, how to cooperate with each other, and how to deal with different situations."
The crow on the top of his head exclaimed, "it's rare for you to be so sober."
Su Huilan said with a smile, "does he often not wake up?"
The crow tilted his head and thought, "sober or sober, it's just that his memory is too bad. He's probably lazy."
Next, they discussed the follow-up actions. Because everyone was smart and had nothing to argue about, they quickly decided on a plan.
Three people, together with cats and crows, formed an action team.
Apart from mental strength, petru has the strongest combat ability, and he has experience in jungle special operations, so Aoki and suhuilan agreed that he will command most of the next operations.
Crows can explore the way first by using their high-altitude vision. Although the island doesn't look like Rapa island full of birds, a crow flying by probably won't arouse people's doubt.
Although he ate himself into a standard fat house cat, he still has strong physical quality. Coupled with the natural instinct of cats, he can play a good warning role in the dense forest invisible to crows.
Petru taught you some simple sign language gestures and developed a set of codes, such as crows and cats calling at different frequencies under different circumstances.
They made it clear that if they can avoid savages, they should avoid them, try not to have a frontal conflict, and try to find out the identity of the modern people who shot.
Finally, Aoki stressed: "when the island is foggy, we must gather together and can't leave each other's sight. The fog on the island is very strange."
Everything is agreed upon. According to the plan, the crow will fly out first to explore the situation within two kilometers ahead.
Aoki put the coal boss on his arm, stroked his feather with his other hand and said, "be careful, don't fly too far. You are my best friend, and your life is my life!"
The crow had never heard such sensational words. He was always nagging, and his eyes were wet: "quack, don't talk like that, I'm almost crying!"
Su Huilan said with a smile, "well, don't show your two masters!"
The coal boss flapped his wings and said, "don't worry, I have to go back and eat the sauce elbow made of flowers..." before his voice fell, his body was already in the sky, circling around, and then plunged into the dense forest.
After a while, it flew out of the dense forest, stopped on a tall branch near the forest and croaked.
Aoki knew that the sound meant that everything was normal ahead. He nodded to petru and suhuilan. The three men picked up their equipment, crossed the beach and walked into the forest.
When they got into the woods, the crow flew up again and disappeared.
The woods were not dense at first. You could see large rocks and bare land, but after a while, there were only thick fallen leaves and dense shrubs.
Hanran kept a distance of about 30 meters from them and led the way ahead. It walked carefully, its claws fell silent, and its eyes stared warily at the front. It didn't look like the fat cat who didn't let go of the dried fish. It was a bit like the king of the jungle.
Even if there was a sound ahead, petru was not at ease. He picked up a branch and gently knocked and stabbed all the way to test traps and hidden poisonous insects.
Suhuilan thought it was funny. She imagined petru running back naked last time. She thought it was impossible to be so cautious. Maybe he was frightened by the savage that time.
At this time, I heard a crow's cry, indicating that it was safe ahead. After about ten seconds, the crow called again. Call every ten seconds. It's an appointment in advance. If there's anything to say in person.
They walked two or three hundred meters ahead, and the crow flew down from the nearby tree and landed on the green wood head.
Aoki asked, "what's the situation?"
"I saw the lake, in the distance, about... Er..." the crow waved his wing tip, as if to say the length of the distance, but the undulating mountains and forests confused the ground distance in a bird's mind.
Aoki estimated that it was not far away. He remembered that petru said he saw the lake on a highland. He asked, "is there a high mountain ahead where you can see the lake?"
The crow pointed to the front right with its wings and said, "yes, there is one in front. Lean over there."
Aoki looks at petru. Since the command of the group is handed over to petru, he should listen to him.
Petru nodded and said, "then go that way and go to the high ground, and I can judge whether it's where I came last time."
"I'll go there to explore the way first, and you go slowly." the coal boss said and flew away.
They walked in the direction indicated by the crow, and soon came the crow's cry of safety.
The road in the woods became more and more difficult. Petru suddenly stopped and gently pushed away the leaves in front with the branches in his hand.
Under the thick leaves, many branches spread horizontally, and below them is a pit. Just now soundly walked from above, but because the cat's weight is light, if it is a person, it will fall into the pit.
Petru removed the branch and found that the bottom of the pit was full of sharpened wood, just like the pit he had arranged on tubuai. He knew very well that the trap he had set up was to deal with the people who wanted to kill him, but what were the people on the island setting up such a trap for?
He pinched a bit of soil around the pit with his fingers, smelled it, and said, "the old pit was dug at least a year ago. Digging such a big pit is not used to deal with large beasts, or against the enemy. We haven't found the feces and life traces of large beasts all the way, which shows that the savages on the island haven't met the enemy recently."
"Then there may be more than one primitive tribe here!" said Su Huilan.
As soon as her voice fell, there came the crow's cry - quack, quack.
According to the agreement, this is a signal of finding someone.
