I asked you to escape, but you became a soldier in World War II

Chapter 191 Aren’t You Already Dead?
"The Devil's Wall?"

Lin Chen was shocked. What on earth was this place?

“Can you explain it in more detail?” Lin Chen didn’t quite believe it. After all, the natives’ level of cognition was limited.

"We've had warriors who wanted to go fishing far from the coastline in canoes, but if they went a little further away from the island, they would be bounced back for no apparent reason."

"Huh?" Lin Chen didn't understand.

Mattek could only continue to add,

"It felt like there was an invisible wall there, and our ship was quickly overturned after it hit it."

Mattek still felt a little scared when he said this. "If it's not the devil's spell, then what is it?"

Lin Chen understood now. Although he looked down on the ignorant Chief Matek, he realized that he was just as ignorant. Could it be that he knew what this thing was?

"How far is it from our shore?"

"I don't know exactly, I can only estimate it to be 500 to 600 steps."

Lin Chen also understood that these people did not know metric units such as meters or kilometers, and it was already good enough that they could measure with steps. From this point of view, it was roughly around 400 meters, which was indeed close to the shore.

"I'll take care of this! With so many of us, we have to solve the problem of food first. You guys go and help get a batch of this stuff out." Lin Chen gave some instructions to Matek and others.

When he returned to his hut and told Jefferson and others what he had learned, they were also shocked.

"Is this just an experimental base? What kind of material was used to block the surroundings? We just can't see it, and we can't go out, and we can't come in from the outside? Are we going to end up here for the rest of our lives? Oh my God!" Benjamin was quite pessimistic, and his words were simply desperate.

However, he has his own business and many beautiful wives in Portugal. If he is stuck here dealing with the natives, it will be really...
"No, if we can get in, there must be a way out!" Jefferson is a professor after all, and he thinks about problems much more rationally.

"Yes, I think so too, but we need to figure out under what circumstances we can get out." Kuna is also the daughter of a general and has a good mind.

Lin Chen saw that there were still two people who understood, so he expressed his thoughts.
"We may need to live in this Holy Guardian tribe for a long time, but if we ask them not to eat human flesh now, they can only last for a short time. Without food, even the Holy Envoy will be useless. So my idea is to find out the location of the air wall as soon as possible, and then lead everyone to fish! There are enough fish in the sea to support the survival of the tribe."

"That's a good idea, but wouldn't you get tired of eating fish every day?" Benjamin lives in a good condition, but he still feels a little uncomfortable eating fish all the time.

"Well, so we have to proceed in two steps. Some people will fish, and some people will engage in farming and breeding. We cannot do without a stable source of food." Lin Chen was not exaggerating when he said this. This island is so strange, what if the catch is limited?
And who can stand eating seafood every day?

He must plan ahead!
However, for planting and breeding, we need seeds and fish fry, which are difficult to get, so we can only talk about it later.

The most urgent task now is to find out what the coastline outside the island is like. This is very important.

The next morning, he got a canoe from Matek, took a bow and arrow he made, and set off under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Matek agreed with Lin Chen's idea, so he selected a few young men from the tribe and drove a canoe to follow Lin Chen.

They said they were protecting it, but in fact they were all very scared. They were afraid of such unknown things.
Lin Chen didn't have that much time to waste. After rowing the boat to the approximate distance that Matek said, he slowed down the boat, took out the long pole on the canoe, and began to slowly explore forward.

Others only dared to look at him from afar. Even so, they were already warriors in the tribe.

If asked to charge in, they would not even blink an eye, but when faced with such supernatural events, they have a natural fear.

Lin Chen probed extremely slowly. He was actually not sure whether there was such an invisible wall, but what if there was?
He tried for a long time, and finally, the pole actually hit a wall.

He poked left and right with the pole, but there was nothing there to the naked eye, but he just couldn't get through.
Upon careful observation, the creatures in the sea actually avoided it out of fear when they swam to this position.

In order to verify his guess, Lin Chen simply went into the water, dived to the bottom of the sea, and touched it with his own hands.

It's really a wall. Although it's completely transparent, it really separates here and the outside into two worlds.
This is really amazing.

When he was running out of oxygen, he had no choice but to swim back to the canoe and see the others looking at him in awe.
Without saying much, he picked up his bow and arrow and started shooting arrows.
As expected, all of them bounced back.
Now he can be sure that there really is an invisible wall.

This kind of technology is definitely not at a level that can be achieved on Earth.
You know, he comes from the future.

There was no such thing in that era, let alone now?

He couldn't help but think of an anime he watched when he was a child, in which this insurmountable wall was called the "Wall of Sighs".

Although Lin Chen did not have any other heavy firepower, he estimated that with the current weapons and equipment on Earth, they might not be able to break this ghost thing, but how could the outside world not discover it?

These were completely beyond his understanding.

Never mind, I'll talk about it later.

He tried several other directions and finally determined the approximate distance of the wall.

It's a pity that there is no buoy at this place, otherwise we could make an accurate mark.

But in general, he still judged that this wall was most likely a curved sphere. Although he didn't know who made it, this thing was too incredible. No wonder no plane or ship had ever passed by.
Alas, this is truly a “wall of sighs”!
When he returned to the shore, Matek was overjoyed to see that Lin Chen had returned safely.

He ordered his men to take out the fishing tools prepared overnight and asked Luda to lead the men to go fishing.
These tools are very simple, basically they are harpoons made of wood or fishing nets made of vines. The efficiency of fishing is undoubtedly very low, but fortunately, the marine resources in this area are very rich, especially since no one has dared to go to the sea for a long time, so the harvest is abundant.

Because everyone saw where Lin Chen's canoe was parked, everyone was fishing near the coast.
The only regret is that the canoe has a small capacity and low efficiency, so the fish caught are barely enough to eat.

But despite this, after Lin Chen taught everyone the techniques of how to grill fish over fire, the aroma of the cooked food boosted the morale of the entire tribe, and allowed Jefferson and others to finally eat a hot meal without having to worry about eating raw meat.

In the following days, Lin Chen devoted himself to the work of repairing the cruise ship, while Jefferson, Kuna and others helped the Holy Guardians to find things suitable for planting and breeding. However, they were really laymen in this area and the role they played was better than nothing.

Benjamin was an expert at fishing at sea, which was beyond Lin Chen's expectation.
According to his own introduction, he was a fisherman before he became famous, so he was top-notch in both water and fishing skills. With his joining, the overall fishing level of the tribe has obviously improved to a higher level.
At least the problem of food has been solved temporarily.

The only thing that made Lin Chen laugh and cry was that Matek also sent the "most beautiful woman" in the tribe, meaning that he wanted to serve Lin Chen well, but Lin Chen found it difficult to accept this unique and magical aesthetic and declined.

After more than a week of hard work, Lin Chen finally repaired most of the yacht. Although many parts were damaged, Lin Chen managed to make up for it with other tools or parts.

The only regret is that now the ship can only move forward with the wind.

There is no oil.

But even so, with the canvas made of sheets on the boat, it is still faster than a canoe, with a speed of about 5-6 knots.

What surprised Lin Chen the most was that when Matek was collecting things, some natives actually handed back a lot of shotgun bullets, about twenty or so, which was really a great help.

With a pistol and this, he suddenly felt absolutely confident on this island.

He took Jefferson and others back to Hope Island and brought back porcelain bowls, pottery jars and other items. On the way back, they made an amazing discovery.
It turned out that they found the wreckage of a large ship from Zheng He's fleet, which sank on the seabed near the coast. Fortunately, it was just inside the Wall of Sighs.
It was because Lin Chen had amazing eyesight and perception, otherwise it would be difficult to discover.

The tribe immediately sent out the best swimmers to follow Lin Chen and his team to salvage the fish.

Unfortunately, most of the things on the ship had rotted away, but the porcelain inside was so rich that it took a whole week to salvage all the belongings on the ship and move them ashore.

This clearly raised the level of civilization in the tribe to a higher level.

It was the first time that Lin Chen and his friends all used pots, pans, and utensils. In a trance, they really felt like they had returned to their motherland.

But this good time did not last long and was interrupted by a sudden incident.

A rare heavy rain swept across Wake Island, and with it came another tsunami, but this time the scale was not too large, so the losses of the Saint Guardians were not great.

But after the rain, a large military transport plane was found on the coast.
The good news is that this C-119 transport plane belongs to the US Strategic Air Force and has many fully armed US Marines on board. But the bad news is that there are many wounded on the plane.
And the worst thing is that the plane landed right on the border between the Wandu Clan and the Husheng Clan’s territories.

The Wan Du Clan was naturally not polite about this "fat meat" that fell from the sky. Their soldiers quickly launched an attack on the US military. However, they were naturally beaten to a bloody pulp by the US Marines equipped with modern weapons.

They left behind about five hundred bodies and then retreated in panic.

However, the US military also suffered a lot of casualties, especially the Wan Du tribe was good at using poison arrows and relied on the cover of the coastal jungle, which caused serious casualties to the US military.

After Lin Chen persuaded Matek, he approached the transport plane by diving at dusk.

After hiding in the dark and observing for a while, I found that most of the American soldiers were wounded, and there were two non-combatants in civilian clothes.

There are only two or three people who are really capable of fighting.

He thought about it and decided to show up.

However, he did not do it openly. He chose to appear quietly behind a lieutenant and pointed the pistol in his hand at his temple.

Naturally, it caused a great commotion.

The lieutenant subconsciously reached for the pistol at his waist, and the other soldiers quickly pulled the bolt and aimed their M14 rifles at Lin Chen.

"Oh? It's not the Garand rifle?" Lin Chen was quite surprised. This type of rifle was only put into service in 1957 to replace the original M1 Garand rifle.

Everyone heard Lin Chen speak fluent English, but his clothes looked completely like those of a native, and he had the same M1911 pistol as everyone else.

However, it seemed that Lin Chen's pistol was of an older model. The careful Marines discovered that the grip of the pistol was curved, which was obviously different from the straight grip they were equipped with.

"Who are you? Why are you holding our leader hostage?" a courageous corporal asked loudly.

"The M14 rifle in your hand should only be equipped to elite troops at present, right?"

Lin Chen did not answer directly, but asked another question.

After hearing this, everyone became very nervous, especially a man in plain clothes who asked in a stern voice,

"This is the latest rifle we are equipped with. How did you know?"

"Let me show you this, don't be nervous! Look, can you put down your weapons?" Lin Chen took out his officer's certificate. Although it had been soaked in sea water, he had to admit that the quality of this kind of stuff from the US military was really amazing.

They took it and opened it suspiciously, and found inside was a very old-fashioned military officer's certificate.

The corporal couldn't help but be happy.

"I say, 'sir', can you make a more realistic ID? It shows that you were born in 1924, and now it's 1957, which means you should be 33 years old, but you look younger than me!"

As soon as the corporal finished speaking, everyone in the American military camp discovered the absurdity of it and naturally thought that Lin Chen was bragging.

"And it shows above that you were promoted to colonel in 1945. How is that possible? If that were true, you would probably be a general now. Hahahaha."

The corporal was very intoxicated with his "meticulous" analytical ability, but unexpectedly, the face of an old man behind him changed drastically.
He snatched the certificate from the corporal's hand, looked at it again and again, and finally pointed at Lin Chen with trembling hands.

"You are Colonel Lin Chen? How is this possible? Aren't you dead?"
