Chapter 14 Lizardmen

After going through this incident, everyone didn't sleep well at night. As soon as the next day dawned, everyone got up early to pack up, and then the five of them got together to discuss the next move.The result of the discussion was that everyone agreed to go back quietly and decide whether to continue the investigation of the water source according to the situation.

The car stopped when it was still far away from the water source. After hiding the car, everyone walked forward with weapons and equipment, and approached a rocky mountain by the lake cautiously.Everyone lay down on this small rocky mountain and observed the entire lake area with binoculars.

Yesterday, a large group of lizard creatures stood on the peaceful lakeshore. Yes, they were standing. Their thick hind legs were strong enough to support their entire bodies. Group of lizard creatures patrolling the high ground on the shore.There were many lizard creatures gathered in front of the small slope where the battle took place last night, and they seemed to be communicating with each other.Sun Xiang took the camera in Suzanne's hand and took pictures of the situation by the lake, then signaled everyone to back off and return to the hidden vehicle.

Zhou Tianhao said dejectedly: "There is no chance, there are hundreds of those things, and they are so durable."

"Judging from the situation just now, they already have their own language, have their own social system, and can make simple bone weapons. It seems that they should also have a social division of labor. Although they are still relatively primitive, it should be said that they have evolved. I'm an adult, I shouldn't call them 'them' in the future, I should call them 'them', I should give their group a name, what should I choose? Hmm! Let's just call them lizardmen." William said, holding his chin.

"Okay! Let's call them Lizardmen." Sun Xiang agreed.

"Lizardman? Not creative at all." Zhou Tianhao was not in a high mood and muttered in his mouth.

Sun Xiang patted Zhou Tianhao's shoulder, and said with a smile, "Don't be so discouraged, the discovery of another kind of intelligent life on this planet is the greatest achievement of our operation."

Suzanne frowned and said, "I will always communicate with them in the future, but it seems that they are not very good communication partners."

Zhou Tianhao had a smirk on his face, "I don't know which team can get such a challenging task."

"Okay, everyone get on the bus, the target is the No. 4 water source." Sun Xiang greeted everyone to get on the bus and continue to the next task.

After exploring all the water sources of this mission, the seventh team came to the final target of this mission: a small tribe, they are the indigenous civilization of this planet, because they grow a kind of plant as their staple food, this plant uses their The language is pronounced "Tara", so the base refers to them as Tara people.

The small village in front of me is very simple and simple, with a few trunks without removing the branches and leaves, the lower part is buried in the soil, and some found branches and leaves are put on top to form the house. Fortunately, it rarely rains in this area, otherwise it will be soaked in water when it rains. Here, the small village is located at the foot of a rocky mountain. There are some caves not high from the ground. Some village names live in the caves. The village names can make some wooden and stone tools. utensils.

Sun Xiang has heard that the aborigines here are thinner than the people on Earth. Now that he has seen them in person, he feels that the gap is bigger than he imagined. Among them, 1.5 meters is considered tall for an adult, and the height of an ordinary village is about 1.3 meters. 1.4 to [-] meters, lack of food, and long-term exposure to the sun make them look dark and thin. Their face shape is not much different from that of people on earth. If the forehead bones, cheekbones and jawbones can be less protruding , then they are no different from most earthlings.

The other members of Sun Xiang's team had been to this small village in previous missions, and they had dealt with the villagers. It was nothing more than making gestures and guessing what the other meant, and then sending some food to the villagers. The friendly communication made the villagers afraid from the beginning until now. The welcome has indeed changed the villagers' attitude towards them a lot.

Susanna has a certain understanding of their language and can speak dozens of their vocabulary. This task is to let the translator accurately translate the language of the Tara people for future communication.For the translator to translate correctly, a lot of language communication and brainwave sampling are required. This time, Susanna has a heavy task. She needs to go to and from the village to take samples, and let the translator record the brainwaves and voice of the Tara people. Until enough language information is stored.The task of the rest of the team members is to observe the living habits, diet, hunting, planting, and in short, all the details about the Tara people.

Everyone set up a temporary camp next to the small village. Three days later, Susanna completed her task. The information she collected was enough for the translator to translate.So far, all the missions of this trip have been completed. Zhou Tianhao, who is in a good mood, suggested to take out all the remaining supplies and have a dinner with the villagers. You must know that this mission is a long journey, and there is still a part of the journey where communication equipment cannot be used. Contacted the base, so the base logistics specially prepared a large amount of food supplies, and there are still half of them.Sun Xiang saw that the local villagers were really pitiful. He didn’t know how long it would take to have a full meal. He would help them if he could. In addition, although he had communicated with them before, he couldn’t communicate deeply because of the language barrier. Now that the translator can If you use it, then your team will use it first, so I agree.

When the villagers heard that the team invited them to eat, they were as happy as people on earth celebrating a festival. They sat on the open ground in the village with the food they had received and chatted loudly in their own language.The village chief, who seemed to be very old, came to Sun Xiang, raised his hands to make gestures, a young man next to him patted him, he seemed to wake up, and spoke in a stammering language, the translator faithfully work up.

"Everyone in our village is very grateful for your hospitality. You are our best friends." The village chief is still not used to these words, and he stutters, but he is more sincere than some people who often say such words on the earth. many.

"You are also our best friends!" After finishing speaking, Sun Xiang picked up several canned beef that had been heated next to him, and with a smile, distributed one to each of the village chief and the people behind him, and then pulled the village chief Sitting on a boulder with other members of the team, those who followed the village chief sat on the ground around the boulder.

Seeing that the village chief and the surrounding villagers were a bit cautious, Sun Xiang picked up his own can and ate two big mouthfuls, then smiled and said to the village chief and the others: "I'll eat first, everyone eat, let's chat casually."

It is often said that the temptation of food is infinite. For the village name who can’t eat enough all the year round, the seasoned and processed canned beef is simply a peerless delicacy. Tasting the "delicacy" in his hand, casually discussing with the people next to him, the restrained mood Slowly relax.

"Village Chief, are there other tribes besides you?" Sun Xiang asked casually.

"Woo! We know seven tribes, and three of them are within five days' journey." The village chief said after swallowing the beef he was chewing.

"Have you ever been on a journey of more than five days?" Sun Xiang asked curiously. You must know that it is very difficult for primitive tribes like them to travel long distances. Just the dry food prepared for the trip needs to be stored. For a long time, it is very likely that the food prepared was saved by other people. How difficult it is for the villagers who are already hungry to squeeze out some food, maybe they will starve to death, and they don’t have a compass or anything like that Tools, although you can rely on the sun to guide the direction, but it is easy to get lost if you go too far, so primitive tribes rarely send people to distant places that are more than five days away. Now the village chief said that he still knows four tribes that are more than five days away. It's a little strange.

"I haven't been there before. We met on the way of migrating from the East. On the way of migration, if they feel that they have found a place for their own tribe to live, they will stay near that land and settle down. Other tribes will continue to move forward." West until they find a place for their own tribe to live in," the village head replied.

"Migration? Why did you migrate to the west? The east has more water sources, more trees, and you also have more taras. Isn't it better to live there?" Sun Xiang asked suspiciously.

As if something was on his mind, the nearby villagers fell silent. The village chief sighed, lowered his head and said, "Hey! Who wants to move here! More than half of our tribe died on the way of migration alone." Said He closed his eyes tightly and shook his head.

"That you"

"We have no choice. The lizard people continue to expand, occupying water sources everywhere, and slaughtering us as their food. Our tribe was lucky to escape. Those who did not escape were either eaten or raised to be eaten." Village Long explained.

"So it's the lizardman." Everyone in the team understood. At first, Sun Xiang wanted to ask if you resisted, but then he thought about the thick and heavy javelin of the lizardman. The villagers here don't say that they are alone with the lizardmen, even if dozens of people are not easy to deal with a lizardman.

Sun Xiang also asked some other questions, and the village chief and the others answered them one by one.After eating, Sun Xiang said goodbye to the village chief and the others, and drove back to the base.
