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

Chapter 192: The Invincible Ten Thousand Poison Clan

Lin Chen was speechless. What dead or alive? It was really bad luck.

But his face still looked calm.

"What does it mean?"

"I'm Dr. Bowerman, a chemical expert at the Ministry of National Defense. Twelve years ago, I was still a rookie and worked as a staff member of the atomic bomb working group. You are the deputy chief of staff of the bomber unit. I won't be wrong! Because you are not only the youngest colonel in the bomber unit, but also the youngest in the entire US Air Force."

Dr. Bowerman was very excited, and it was obvious that he was recalling past events.

"The military later reported that you died in the line of duty, and held a small memorial service for you. By the way, after so many years, why have you hardly changed? Of course, you are obviously much darker."

What he said was absolutely true. After Lin Chen came to the island, he had to stay outside in the sun every day in order to survive. It would be strange if he didn't get tanned.

“Hehe,” Lin Chen was a little embarrassed, but now was not the time to talk about this matter, so he tensed up and said, “Since you recognized me, can you listen to me for a few words?”

It seems that Dr. Bowerman has a high prestige among this group of people. Since he recognized Lin Chen, he signaled everyone to put down their guns. Lin Chen then picked out some key points and described the current situation on the island and the strength of the Wan Du Clan.

In short: if they stay, their entire army will be wiped out, or they can retreat to the Saint Guardians. By joining forces, they may not be defeated by the Ten Thousand Poisons Clan.

"I think the Air Force will come to rescue us soon!"

Another radio private was more naive and did not want to go to any savage camp.

Lin Chen chuckled, "Have you tried your radio? Can you get in touch?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the private's face changed drastically.
“Is this place isolated?”

These people were encountering these situations for the first time, and Dr. Bowerman in particular was clearly aware of the seriousness of the situation.
On one hand, he could stay and fight alone with the remaining wounded. He had seen how fearless these savages were during the day. On the other hand, he could believe Lin Chen and follow him to a new savage tribe to seek shelter.

Dr. Bowerman is not a soldier, so he does not care much about military honor and face. He is more concerned about how to survive.

"We'll follow you!"

Hearing this, Lin Chen was naturally very happy. He sincerely let go of the second lieutenant and apologized to him.

Seeing that the other party was a colonel and gave him enough way out, the second lieutenant said something.

Anyway, the doctor has already agreed, so I have no choice but to accept it.

Lin Chen was still very happy. After all, if there were more people, the chances of leaving the island and returning to civilized society would be greater in the future.
He asked the remaining people to pack up their supplies quickly and take away everything they could.
After a simple inventory, he found that these US Marines were really wasteful.

There were only a few bullets left, not even a few grenades.
As for the heavy machine gun bullets and rifle grenades, not a single one was left.
The only thing that made Lin Chen feel a little relieved was the American 60mm mortar. It was just that there were not enough shells, only 2.
However, if this thing is used well here, it will definitely be a powerful weapon to kill the general and capture the flag.

Lin Chen asked the second lieutenant to take out the fuel from the plane and take away as much as possible.
Fortunately, there was not much oil left, so we only got out a few barrels.

The most worrying thing now is these wounded. The lightly injured ones are okay, they can be helped and then go away, but what about the seriously injured ones?
The U.S. Marine Corps has always adhered to the principle of not abandoning any teammate, let alone there are more than a dozen seriously injured.
Lin Chen just gave them a cursory look and found that they all had vital injuries. Even if they were taken away, the medical conditions on the island would be too low to save them.

These seriously injured soldiers also knew what was going on. They just asked the lieutenant for two grenades and then gathered together to wait for the final outcome.

For soldiers, it is a great honor to sacrifice their lives on the battlefield.

They quickly packed up their luggage, saluted the seriously injured soldiers, and then began to leave.

Not long after they left, the Wandu Clan began their final general attack.

From a distance, one could see the Wan Du tribe warriors, like ants, shouting all kinds of inexplicable slogans and charging madly towards the transport plane.

The moment they rushed into the cabin, two violent explosions were heard, flames shot up into the sky, and a cloud of black smoke rose.

Everyone knew what was going on and didn't say much. They just followed Lin Chen south.

Soon we arrived at the camp of the Holy Guardians. Chief Matek led his men out to welcome us. More fighting power is always good.
Actually, Lin Chen originally wanted the Holy Guardians to send someone to protect them, but Mattek also told him about his own difficulties.

For so many years, the Wan Du Clan has always been the boss of Wake Island. The entire clan paid a huge price to exchange for peaceful coexistence between the two clans, so the entire clan is somewhat afraid of the Wan Du Clan.

The original agreement between the two tribes was not to invade each other, but if people were sent to protect the border, military conflict would occur, which would not be worth the cost.

Matek agreed to accept the doctor and his group only because of Lin Chen's consideration. After all, he could hide them in the camp, and as long as they were not discovered, there shouldn't be any problems.

Dr. Bowerman and his companions were also very surprised to see such a backward tribal camp. Except for Lin Chen and Jefferson, the others were almost all uncivilized savages.

Am I really going to fall to the point where I need the protection of savages?

Everyone was actually feeling very upset, but as Lin Chen said, this island was covered with dense jungles and the terrain was complex. With just the few people on the plane, unless the logistics support was open to ensure ammunition and some Air Force ground attack aircraft dropped some napalm bombs, they could definitely handle it.

But the problem is that there is none, so with such little ammunition, it is absolutely not enough to hold out.

Bowerman and Jefferson were probably both researchers, so even though they were from different nationalities, they actually had a very pleasant conversation.

Lin Chen also figured out the rescued American soldiers.

There were only 7 armed personnel, of whom were moderately wounded (the lightly wounded had already been involved in the battle and died), and the healthy ones were Lieutenant Billy, Corporal Andrew, and Signalman Gray;
Non-combatants include Dr. Bowerman and his assistant Luke.

Lin Chen asked them to take care of the wounded and find a way to treat them. Unfortunately, the former highest commander of this small unit had been killed and the medical soldier had already detonated a grenade at the last moment.

So even though there were medicines, it was still difficult to treat these people. Lin Chen only gave them the necessary treatment based on the treatment skills he learned when he was a special forces soldier in his previous life and in World War II. Although their injuries were not too serious, they were still very easy to get infected on this hot and humid island.

The tribe could only find an old witch to perform a magic trick, but in reality it was of no use. The only thing that could keep these four soldiers alive was their own resistance and medicine.

Bowerman did not bring much food. The only compressed biscuits and military canned food he had had had long since been consumed. Now he only had a little emergency military rations, plus some corn they had collected from the plane's storage room.

Lin Chen was quite interested in these corns. He felt that if he could grow some corns on this island, the food problem in the future would be greatly alleviated.

However, his main focus was obviously not on this, and he handed this task over to Kuna. He had to play his role on the island anyway.
He himself was fully devoted to tinkering with the yacht. After all, he now had some gasoline, and he wanted to ask Dr. Bowerman whether the gasoline could be properly transformed into diesel?

The results were extremely discouraging and simply unrealistic given the existing conditions on the island.

However, the doctor still told an exciting piece of good news, that is, he also discovered a volcano on Hope Island. He felt that since there was an active volcano, there was a high probability of discovering crude oil. If there was, it would be relatively simple to refine diesel.

After hearing this, Lin Chen just smiled bitterly, but still entrusted the matter to him.

This yacht is very important if we want to leave this island in the future.

At this moment, Bent arrived with a very unhappy look on his face.
"Is there something wrong?" Lin Chen also realized that the situation was not good.

"Someone from the Ten Thousand Poison Tribe is coming!" Bent's eyes were a little evasive.

"Are they still there?"

"I've already left, but father hopes you'll come over as soon as possible."

"Okay, I'll go with you right away!" Lin Chen also understood that the other party would not give up so easily.

As expected, the old Patriarch Matek told Lin Chen with great embarrassment that the envoy of the Ten Thousand Poison Tribe had come.

They said that the Holy Guardians must hand over all non-islanders such as Bowerman and Jefferson. Under his strong opposition, only Lin Chen was allowed to stay.

"This is absolutely impossible!" Lin Chen was angry. If he had to hand over all these people, what was the point of doing this?
"I didn't want to either. There were people from the Ten Thousand Poison Tribe following you that day. I could even count how many there were. It was terrifying."

He also knew that what he did was not very authentic, so he added, "The power of the Ten Thousand Poison Tribe is much stronger than ours. We were driven from the center of the island to the southernmost part by them. They have a population of more than 10,000 people, and they can mobilize at least 4,000 soldiers! We can't hold on no matter what."

Lin Chen had lived here for a while and had learned some simple Wake Island language. He understood most of the content.

"How many warriors does the Holy Guardian have?"

"Us? We only have about 700 people, and this is the limit. There are many old and weak people in the tribe, and there is too little food to feed so many people." Matek spread his hands helplessly.

Lin Chen glanced at the elderly clan leader and found that this guy was too timid. No wonder the Holy Guardian Clan was becoming increasingly weak.

Mattek may have seen through Lin Chen's thoughts, so he smiled bitterly.

"There was actually only one largest tribe on our island before, the Wick tribe, which was the predecessor of the Holy Guardians," he said, feeling a little embarrassed. After all, this tribe declined under his leadership.
"Everyone's ultimate mission is to protect the saint, and they have been guarding Wake Island for generations. But then something unexpected happened, and everyone became divided." Matek obviously didn't want to recall this unbearable past. How powerful was the tribe when the old patriarch passed it to him?
Now it has become a small tribe struggling to survive.

"What happened?" Lin Chen suddenly became very curious.

Bent's interest was also piqued. Although he was the son of the clan leader, the Holy Guardians never passed down the throne based on blood ties. In order to maintain the strength of the race, it mainly depends on one's physical strength.

Unfortunately, Bent's fighting ability and wisdom are both average, and his only advantage may be that he can speak some foreign languages.

"Once, a ball of will-o'-the-wisp fell from the sky!" Matek's expression became extremely frightened, which made Bent confused. After all, he was too young at that time. Although he knew about this incident, he was not sure about the inevitable relationship.

When he grew up, his tribesmen were also very secretive about this matter, so he didn't know the truth of the matter.

Lin Chen knew a little about it. It was probably a meteorite. This thing was very scary to the civilized society outside. There were descriptions of all kinds of monsters and demons, not to mention a deserted island like this.

But he was a little puzzled, could this meteorite break through the "Wall of Sighs"?
From this point of view, either the top of the "Wall of Sighs" is empty, or the wall can be broken, but it requires great destructive force?
The key point is that he has no way to prove these. The rifle in his hand can only shoot up to a few hundred meters. At such a high distance, he can't tell whether the bullet will bounce back or go through?

Matek swallowed and continued to preach.

"The will-o'-the-wisp hit the northeastern part of the island, causing a terrible earthquake, creating a huge cave, and killing many people. At first, our old chief thought it was the return of the true god, so he sent out warriors from the tribe to investigate, but none of them came back. So he issued a strict order that no one should approach the northeast corner of the island."

"Originally, everything was peaceful, but two brothers were brave enough to lead others to explore the Devil's Cave. As a result, they not only survived, but also gained terrible powers. The young man named Youbi gained the ability to be immune to all poisons. He could also spit out poisonous gas, causing heavy casualties to the enemy. The young man named Youte gained the ability to make people dizzy, which is also extremely powerful."

"Later, the two brothers each led their own people to form new tribes, which are now the Wandu Tribe and the Wu Tribe. The Wick Tribe was split."

After hearing this, Lin Chen finally understood what was going on. It seemed that the meteorite cave was quite famous.

"Since the two brothers are so powerful, why don't they just destroy the Saint Guardians?"

Mattek glanced at Lin Chen.
"Of course they wanted to. The two bastards, Youbi and Youte, regarded us as a thorn in their side and fought with us several times. As a result, we suffered heavy losses. The elite warriors in the tribe were either captured or rebelled."

When Matek spoke of this, his eyes were filled with hatred.

"Our tribe was getting smaller and smaller, and the number of people was decreasing, but fortunately, the two brothers finally hit upon each other."

"What do you mean?" Lin Chen and Bent asked at the same time. Such a perverted enemy actually exists on this island that makes them afraid?
