Chapter 8: Strange Primitive Man

Professor, it is evident that he is seeking help. Some matters we can discuss gradually. For now, it is best to clarify what assistance he requires.

Gao Yang shouted loudly as he ran out from the hiding grass. While running towards the group of white men, it was no wonder Gao Yang was excited; not only had the chief and Da Ba Li been saved, but he finally had the opportunity to return home

Cousteau was very excited because he had discovered the fleet, and Gaoyang was even more excited than Cousteau after hearing his words

Although Cousteau is a person from a primitive tribe, it does not mean that he is foolish

Four white individuals were seated beneath a sunshade, and one of them was fiddling with a large camera. Upon witnessing this scene, Gao Yang felt completely at ease.

I understand, if I hear gunshots, if I hear you telling me to run, I will save you, if you die, I will run away

Before he finished speaking, Gao Yang stopped again, because this time he was speaking in Chinese

Gao Yang is currently wearing a pair of six-inch military boots, with a circle of straw wrapped around his waist. His entire body is adorned with geometric patterns painted in white clay and a type of red clay. In addition, after three years of exposure to the sun, Gao Yang's skin is dark and shiny. Even his hair has just been cut with a knife, leaving only short, uneven stubble. Aside from his skin tone being somewhat brownish, while the other members of the Akuri tribe have authentic black skin, Gao Yang's appearance is almost indistinguishable from that of the other members of the Akuri tribe. Of course, the most significant difference is that Gao Yang is wearing a pair of boots.

Hello, sir, please help me...

The attire of those individuals eased Gao Yang's tension somewhat. Although two of them were wearing camouflage uniforms, the majority were dressed in ordinary clothing. Moreover, Gao Yang only noticed two people carrying firearms. Although he could not see clearly, he believed that one of the guns was the most common AK47 series found in Africa, while the other was likely a double-barreled shotgun

The old man immediately turned around and shouted, "Did you all hear that? Ivan, grab your first aid kit. Do we have anything for blood transfusions? If we do, bring that too. Daniel, take the small camera. We need to drive over there quickly"

Gao Yang ran forward a few steps, and soon he saw four vehicles parked about four to five hundred meters away. Among them, three were SUVs, and one was a medium-sized truck. Behind the vehicles, there seemed to be several large tents, but Gao Yang did not see anyone.

Feeling extremely fortunate, Gao Yang thought that these people did not resemble a military unit, nor did they seem like poachers. He felt it was possible to approach them. Just then, the crowd that had been standing together suddenly dispersed, and after the crowd parted, the scene that Gao Yang beheld filled him with immense joy

Gao Yang pointed in the direction he came from, "Over there, it's about twenty kilometers or so, but I'm not quite sure. I ran for three or four hours to get here"

Seeing the gun muzzle lowered, a group of Black individuals slowly retreated, while only a few White individuals stared at him with smiles. Gao Yang ran up to the White person who had spoken, and as he was about to say "Hello," he heard a woman exclaim, "Oh my God, what am I seeing? He is wearing boots!"

At that moment, Gao Yang realized that he had made a mistake. He had been speaking the language of the Akuri tribe for three years, so when he ran out, he shouted in a language that only the Akuri tribe could fully understand.

Let us set off first; we can discuss anything later. Gentlemen, please make the most of your time; we will depart as soon as we are ready.

After gently slapping his own mouth, the overly excited Gao Yang was about to switch to English, when he saw the white man in front of him, an elderly man with graying hair, also gently slap his own mouth, and then with a smile said: "Do it like he did, this should be their gesture of goodwill"

Hello, can you help me? I need assistance

Seeing Gao Yang running out while shouting, several white individuals under the sunshade, as well as the recently dispersed black individuals, were startled. A few armed black individuals immediately aimed their guns at Gao Yang. At that moment, Gao Yang realized that there were not just two people with guns, but five.

Do not speak, do not make a fuss, do not scare him, do not provoke his hostility, my goodness, are you all foolish

Gao Yang patted Custod's shoulder, picked up the bow and arrow in his hand, and crouched down as he slowly approached the convoy

Where are the injured?

The old man, referred to as a professor, seemed to awaken from a dream. After offering a sincere smile of apology to Gao Yang, he said with an anxious expression: "I apologize, I got a bit carried away. Ah, let us first discuss the important matters. Please tell me what exactly happened?"

In fact, Gao Yang has always been worried that in the African continent, in this remote corner, the most likely individuals to appear are, of course, black people, and they are of the very dangerous kind

The crisp sound of several slaps echoed, as each person standing in front of the high platform slapped their own mouth, with two of them making quite a loud noise

The distance was closing in, and when there were about 200 meters left, Gao Yang caught sight of some figures moving between the gaps of several cars, but he could not clearly see the attire of those individuals

After sizing it up a few times, Gao Yang decided to go in and take a look. He grabbed Custod and squatted down, saying with a serious expression: "Listen, Custod, if you hear gunfire, a very loud sound, or if you hear me telling you to run, you should quickly run back and bring Kumtom home with Bali and the others. If you hear me calling your name, you should come find me. Do you understand?"

Gao Yang forced a bitter smile; he finally spoke the words he had long wanted to say in English, "Hello, sir, it is a great pleasure to meet you. I am in urgent need of help; someone among us is about to die. Please, we implore you to assist us."

Recalling the gunfight he encountered three years ago upon his arrival, Gao Yang felt that the likelihood of encountering a group of armed individuals of unknown origin, or poachers, was the greatest. However, Gao Yang was not one to resign himself without understanding the situation clearly, so he decided that if he encountered individuals who appeared to be harmless civilians, he would reveal himself and seek help; if they seemed to be dangerous individuals, he would quietly leave instead.

People in our tribe have been injured; one person's neck was bitten by a leopard, resulting in two wounds approximately half an inch deep. Although the major arteries were not affected, I suspect that some small blood vessels have ruptured, and the situation is dire. In addition to requiring surgery, he will likely need a blood transfusion. Another individual has been scratched by the leopard, so we also need antibiotics. Sir, he has been injured for three to four hours, and time is running out. Please, we urgently need your help, sir

Gao Yang took a detour, and after circling around, once the vehicles no longer obstructed his view, he saw a campsite with five large tents. In the center of the campsite, a sunshade net was set up, beneath which were two large tables. At that moment, about fifteen or sixteen Black individuals were gathered in a circle under the sunshade net.

Although it had been several years since he last spoke, Gao Yang's English was pronounced with perfect clarity. At that moment, the old man standing opposite him, with a broad smile on his face, opened his mouth wide and stared at him with wide eyes, his lips trembling as he uttered, "Oh God, who can tell me what is happening?"

Therefore, when one sees a member of an indigenous tribe speaking fluent English to seek help, it is not surprising, regardless of the commotion it may cause

The few white individuals were already very close to Gao Yang, but upon seeing the gun pointed at him, he stopped in his tracks and raised his hands. At that moment, Gao Yang heard a person's exclamation

Gao Yang nodded and sincerely said to the two people in front of him: "It’s alright, I completely understand. Thank you for your willingness to offer help, thank you."

There were a total of seven people, four Caucasians and three African Americans, driving two SUVs under the leadership of Gao Yang, heading back along the route he had come. Once the vehicles left the camp, Gao Yang ordered them to stop and called out to Custod, allowing him to join the ride. The two vehicles then set off again at high speed.

Gao Yang has always been looking forward to encountering people from the civilized world, but now that signs of civilization have begun to appear, he has started to feel anxious. After hearing the chief speak of how those unknown individuals have committed brutal acts of indiscriminate killing, Gao Yang can only pray that he meets some truly civilized people, rather than those who wield the so-called products of civilization but behave in a manner worse than beasts.

After running for about three to four hours, Gao Yang was gradually unable to hold on any longer. At his current pace, he could only be described as walking slowly. At this moment, Custod, who had been running ahead of him, suddenly stopped and ran back towards Gao Yang.

At this moment, the woman standing in front of Gao Yang said eagerly: "Professor, I want to go as well, and we must bring at least two armed guards; it is not very safe here"

Do not shoot, put down the gun, do not shoot, let's see what he wants to do, damn it, put down your guns, you will scare him, everyone step back, do not scare him, Daniel, did you get it on camera

After the old man finished speaking, he hurriedly began to pack his things. A group of people frantically placed the necessary items onto two SUVs. Within a few minutes, once everything was ready, the old man waved to Gao Yang and said: "Get in the car, you will lead the way, we are setting off."

The old man in front of Gao Yang seemed to be so frightened that he lost control of his bladder; apart from a startled exclamation, he did not respond for a long time, merely staring wide-eyed up and down at Gao Yang. At that moment, a young woman stepped forward from behind the old man and stood in front of Gao Yang.

Three years ago, when Gao Yang arrived in Africa, it was the rainy season. Therefore, he was wearing a quick-dry shirt and a pair of quick-dry pants. These clothes dry quickly when wet and are quite cool, but they are also thin and not very durable. After crawling and rolling on the grasslands, Gao Yang's clothes had long since turned into rags. However, the pair of Danner military boots he wore had remained intact after enduring three years of hardship.

After speaking, the woman smiled apologetically at Gaoyang and said, "I am very sorry that we have to bring guns. Please understand that this is not directed at you and your tribe. This is Africa, and there are many dangerous wild animals. We need the protection of guns"

White child, there are many people there, and also some strange things
