Chapter 346: Indeed, they Escaped
“Yes, Tribe Leader, what should we do?” others also inquired of the Tribe Leader, as if he were the one who held their fate in his hands at this moment.
Moreover, over the years, they had formed a habit in their hearts, as if with the Tribe Leader around, everything could be accomplished.
So at this moment, everyone had pinned their hopes on the Caoqian Tribe Leader. Their discussion was less a discussion and more a display of the Caoqian Tribe Leader’s personal performance.
“Well, first of all, of course, we run!” The Caoqian Tribe Leader’s first sentence stunned everyone. Nonsense, who didn’t know escaping was an option? The question was how to escape. They were all quite speechless with the Tribe Leader, but they couldn’t say that directly. So, they cautiously inquired, “Then what is the Tribe Leader’s plan?” “Don’t you hear the sounds outside?” the Caoqian Tribe Leader asked, changing the subject instead of answering directly.
“We heard, they are cooking.” everyone answered quietly, secretly wondering what the Tribe Leader was up to.
“Then we are very likely to be their dinner!” The Caoqian Tribe Leader’s expression was surprisingly calm. But this sentence startled everyone: “What? We will become dinner?” someone in the crowd exclaimed, then shouted, “Is it true?”
“Of course not, it’s not necessarily so.” The Caoqian Tribe Leader said calmly upon seeing their surprise. Just as the other person’s expression changed, the Caoqian Tribe Leader’s tone shifted again, “But it’s not impossible!” “Then what should we do?” everyone was terrified.
They all agreed with the Tribe Leader’s statement. Yes, perhaps they would become someone else’s dinner soon.
“However, I estimate that we won’t become dinner that quickly. Don’t you forget, even if it were us, we wouldn’t immediately slaughter and eat captured prisoners of war. 1.” Upon hearing this, everyone agreed with the Caoqian Tribe Leader.
“So, any plans can wait until after dinner, as long as we are still alive. Dealing with the Caoqian Tribe. Yes. Saying anything now is useless. After all, if they were to slaughter and eat all of us, then everything discussed now would be in vain.”
At this moment, everyone fell silent. This was completely different from a moment ago. There was not a sound around them, and everyone remained still.
Imagining being captured and roasted to be eaten, everyone felt a bit disheartened at heart. Eating others is naturally a joy, but being eaten by others is impossible to be happy about. Everyone felt a sense of helplessness at this moment.
But what could they do now? There seemed to be no solution, and they could only wait for time to pass and see if any feasible methods emerged.
“Then we will make a decision after it gets dark.” The Caoqian Tribe Leader suddenly broke the silence and continued in a low voice, “Don’t be too sad, it’s just a possibility now. But perhaps we won’t be eaten tonight? Think about it, it’s almost dusk, even if they wanted to eat us, it wouldn’t be so soon, at least not until tomorrow!”
Upon hearing his words, everyone seemed to snap back to reality. Yes, at least it would be tomorrow, which meant there was still a chance to survive today. But then they thought, just one day?
No one wanted to die, especially people from primitive tribes. They valued life far more than modern people.
Even if they starved to death, they would not choose to commit suicide. No matter what happened, it could not force them to this point.
To them, suicide was the act of a fool, giving up on life? Every person in a primitive tribe was thinking about how to survive, who would give up on life?
So, even though they were afraid of being eaten by the other party, imagining themselves being slaughtered like animals.
They would not choose to commit suicide out of fear. On the contrary, they cherished the remaining life even more, because as long as they lived well, that would be enough.
No matter how many days, even if it was just for half a day.
Seeing everyone so depressed, the Caoqian Tribe Leader tried to console them, “Don’t worry too much, everyone. We might not die. If we survive tonight without being killed by the other party, then we will seek an opportunity to escape. If we continue like this, we can all leave alive, leave alive!” Although the Caoqian Tribe Leader’s voice was not loud, it resonated in everyone’s ears like a thunderous roar, piercing their hearts.
Yes, as long as they survived tonight, they would have hope. So everyone put away their sadness and awaited the night’s judgment.
The sky outside was already gradually darkening. The sun, which had been hanging high in the sky, was no longer as dazzling. In another hour or two, the sky would be completely dark.
Outside the military camp at this moment, everyone was busy with their own affairs. Of course, the cooks responsible for the army’s meals had already started preparing tonight’s dinner.
After all, if they didn’t prepare dinner now, would they wait until night? Wouldn’t they starve?
Beside the cook, Lin Ye was enthusiastically watching a stout cook making dinner. Shi, standing beside him, looked at Lin Ye’s behavior with some doubt, and curiously asked why Lin Ye was staring at the food.
After a while, Shi finally couldn’t bear it and asked Lin Ye, “Brother Lin, why are you staring at the cook making food?” His expression was full of confusion. Lin Ye smiled faintly when he saw Shi asking, “It’s nothing, I just thought of some things.” “What things?” Shi asked, wondering how looking at food could remind him of other things.
“How do you think the Caoqian Tribe cooks their food?” Lin Ye asked, instead of answering Shi directly.
“Well, it should be similar to ours,” Shi replied indifferently, puzzled as to why Lin Ye was asking him this.
Everyone knew that Lin Ye liked novelty and wanted things to be different. This time, did he also want to cook the captives like the Caoqian Tribe, by boiling or roasting them? That would be quite frightening.
Thinking of this, Shi couldn’t help but shiver. His gaze drifted slightly towards Lin Ye, and when he saw Lin Ye’s faint smile, he was even more startled. Could this guy…?
After a while, Shi nervously answered Lin Ye’s previous question: “Are you saying they eat people alive?”
