"Hey, if something happens next time, be calm. The two long legs are flying very fast. If you encounter a wild animal this night, then I won't be able to do it."
Zhang Long said, patting the dust on his body.
"Come on, it's not too early now. Let's go back quickly. After a while, they will find that we are missing. It's time to worry."
"Ah! Zhang Long, look what that is!"
Zhang Xiaotong looked pale and pointed at a round thing not far away.
The thing appeared gray-white under the moonlight and looked round, which did not match the surrounding environment.
Zhang Long didn't think much, walked over and pulled the thing out of the vine.
When he could clearly see what he was holding in his hand, Zhang Long almost threw it away!
That's a skull.
Human skull.
How come this thing appears here?
Zhang Long was in a state of confusion, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and pretended to be calm.
"This should be the heads of those mandrills. It looks quite scary in this cold night."
Zhang Xiaotong's next words scared Zhang Long into a cold sweat.
"No, no, this is indeed a human skull."
As he spoke, Zhang Long took the skull in his hand and looked at it carefully.
"The mandrill is basically similar to a human skeleton, but its forehead is not as high as a human skull. This should be the skull of a middle-aged man, who must have been dead for at least five years."
More than 5 years?
It means someone else was here 5 years ago!
Is this man alone?
So how did this person die here?
A series of questions made Zhang Long nervous.
The two people looked at each other.
Under the moonlight.
The two men cleared out all the vines from the area where the skull was found.
I was surprised to find that besides this man, there were several skeletons.
After Zhang Xiaotong's preliminary judgment, these people were all men, ranging in age from 20 to 50 years old.
"It's just a pity that when I was reading books about this in the library, I only glanced at them briefly without studying them carefully. Otherwise, I should be able to figure out how they died."
Zhang Xiaotong sat aside and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Zhang Long, what do you think?"
Zhang Long looked at the bones that had been pieced together and lined up in a row, and was silent for a long time.
"Either these people ended up on this island because of a plane crash like us, or they are people from a small island or mainland not far from here."
Zhang Xiaotong was shocked.
"Why?"
Zhang Long pointed at the pit in front of him.
"The pit in front of us is neither big nor small, and it is easy to see that the surrounding area is very flat, which cannot be created by nature.
Moreover, there are a lot of rocks in this area. If you want to dig a hole in this place, in addition to a shovel, you must also bring certain tools. It cannot be done with simple tools alone."
Zhang Xiaotong took a breath of cold air.
"Let's not talk about why these people died here. If this pit is really dug by man, does it mean that we are not far from the land?"
"It's very possible."
At this moment, hope suddenly ignited in Zhang Xiaotong's heart.
Recalling all the things that happened while living on a deserted island, I shed tears. This miserable life is finally over!
"Come on, let's go back to the camp and tell everyone about this!"
The two men rushed to the camp.
Zhang Long was just about to speak when he suddenly realized that something was wrong in the atmosphere.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Hou Yue looked very ugly and pointed at the man sitting not far away.
Although the man was sitting with his back to the fire, Zhang Long could tell who this man was at a glance!
His face instantly darkened.
"What are you doing back?"
He Ming just stuffed things into his mouth without answering him. He looked like he had been hungry for several days as he wolfed down the food.
It wasn't until he was done eating and drinking that He Ming looked up at Zhang Long.
"I discovered something interesting, which may allow us to leave this terrible place. However, I can't do it with my own strength, so I want you to take me with you."
Zhang Long did not answer his question in time and asked: "Where is Liu Lu?"
He Ming laughed heartily, and couldn't help but burp during the process, completely losing his previous arrogance.
"You're so worried about her. Could it be that you've fallen in love with her?"
Zhang Long didn't want to fight with him, so he picked up a stone and walked towards him quickly.
"Bang!"
The stone smashed into powder on the stone table.
"I asked you where Liu Lu is!"
He Ming was inferior to a beast. In such an extreme environment, no one could guarantee that he would do something crazy.
He Ming was obviously startled by this action, and quickly stood up and took a few steps back.
After a few seconds, he seemed to realize his embarrassment and pretended to be calm.
"He's fine. He's lying down in the cave waiting for me."
It turned out that since he and Liu Lu left, the two of them had found another cave to live in. They didn't think anything was wrong at first, but then food became increasingly scarce and both of them were hungry and had no strength left, so He Ming came back.
After hearing this, Zhang Long felt relieved.
"You just said you found something."
When he got to the important point, He Ming sneered and stepped directly on the stone table.
"This matter is related to whether we can leave this island, so you must show some sincerity."
"Sincerity? I sincerely mean it to you!"
Peng Hai yelled, hugged his feet from behind, and then pulled him hard into his arms. He Ming fell upside down while squatting.
Hou Yue was not polite and kicked He Ming's head several times, causing blood to appear on his feet.
Seeing that the two of them were leading the charge, other people gathered around and punched and kicked He Ming.
When Zhang Long saw this, he had no intention of stepping forward to stop him. After all, although He Ming looked like a human, he was not doing anything human.
A beating would be considered mild, so just let them be.
After everyone had finished venting their anger, they tied him up and threw him on the ground.
He Ming's face was covered with blood after being beaten. He still had the arrogance from before. He knelt on the ground obediently, not daring to move at all.
Zhang Long walked over and squatted down to be eye level with him.
"Tell me, what exactly did you find?"
He Ming's eyes were full of unwillingness. The man was scared of being beaten, but he still smiled.
"It's no good, why should I tell you?"
Peng Hai also laughed: "If you want to be beaten, just say so."
