Falling into the Cretaceous

Shen Ye controlled the drone's flight path in a regular manner.

He tried his best to observe areas that were not repeated and were coherent, but since he was not a professional, it was still somewhat difficult for him.

At that moment, the photographer walked over.

"Brother Ye, leave it to me. I'm a beyond visual range pilot, an official drone operator."

Shen Ye was both surprised and delighted upon hearing this.

"Hey buddy, if you had this skill, why didn't you come sooner?!"

Zhou Jian said somewhat angrily, and the photographer smiled wryly and didn't say much, taking the drone remote control from Shen Ye's hand.

After receiving the drone remote control, the photographer's eyes became bright and focused.

He familiarized himself with it for a few seconds and immediately got into the zone.

He set the flight speed to maximum. Under the moonlight, the forest was difficult to distinguish and define. Since there was no satellite network, there was no positioning function or map function, making it easy to repeatedly observe the same area. However, the photographer could solve this problem through experience.

"Hey photographer, watch your battery!"

Shen Ye noticed that the movie was less than 30% over, so he reminded him.

"good!"

The photographer responded. He knew that if they couldn't find the location of the savage tribe tonight, they would have to wait until tomorrow night. If it was cloudy tomorrow and they couldn't charge their devices, they would have to wait another day.

Everyone waited quietly.

Time passed second by second.

The battery was also dropping rapidly, which made everyone present sweat with tension, knowing that this was their only drone.

Just as Shen Ye was about to have the photographer fly the drone back, a tiny red dot appeared on the screen.

The photographer immediately descended towards the spot of light.

Soon the light spot transformed into the shape of a campfire, surrounded by a dozen or so savages, with a roasted dinosaur leg on the fire.

"Found it!"

Someone shouted excitedly.

Cui Zhengxi immediately wrote down the parameters above.

Shen Ye peeked out and surveyed the surrounding environment.

Beside the campfire was a small cliff, with a cave clearly visible on the edge. The firelight illuminated the cave, and outside the cave was a large open space with a few scattered trees that had been burned down and fallen to the ground, leaving behind large tree stumps, but each stump was tied to a dinosaur.

There are four wooden houses and some scattered sheds on the open space.

Around the log cabin, seven or eight rectangular plots of land have been cultivated, clearly for growing "vegetable" plants.

A large number of barricades were placed around this open space.

That was their tribe's only source of security.

No survivors were seen, but clothes were drying in the open space.

"I can't take it anymore, the battery's low, I have to go back!"

After the photographer finished speaking while keeping an eye on the battery level, he immediately controlled the drone to return automatically at a power-saving speed, allowing everyone to see part of the tribe's situation.

"This tribe has a cave, which may contain food. The terrain is not very clear, but it is located in the low-lying area to the south, about five kilometers east of the river, where there is likely a stream."

Shen Ye said.

These words stirred excitement among the crowd.

Having a stream means having long-term survival resources, and there's no need to risk going to the river, thus saving a lot of manpower and resources, and creating favorable conditions for the development of the tribe.

"However, it's a bit strange. We didn't see any survivors, only their clothes. It seems that survivors did indeed appear in their tribe."

Shen Ye then went on to analyze.

"Mr. Shen, if we conquer the savage tribe, what will we do with those savages?" He Yun then thought of a humanitarian issue.

"Capture them, enslave them, and make them work for us, but this process will be very difficult and risky."

Shen Ye pinched the bridge of his nose and said that he knew it was possible with his understanding of human nature, but it was indeed very difficult.

"Brother Ye, we might as well just shoot them all; that would save us a lot of trouble!"

Mike then interjected.

Some people around the area said that this was inhumane, while others thought it was absurd.

"Killing them all is definitely not an option. As I've said before, there are other tribes here, and our population is not small. It's difficult for us to be self-sufficient in food for a long time, so we need to engage in trade. This is where these savage slaves can come in handy."

Shen Ye said.

"But by killing and enslaving savages, our sins will only grow heavier!"

At this point, a blonde, slightly overweight woman raised an objection.

These words angered some of the people present. They were starving to death, so how could there be such a hypocrite?

Shen Ye was also annoyed, but for the sake of the stability of this small society, he had to solve these seemingly insignificant problems to prevent them from developing into serious internal issues.

"Ma'am, do you have a better solution?"

Shen Ye threw the question back at him.

The slightly plump blonde woman was momentarily stumped by the question.

What can she do? Those self-righteous hypocrites always like to throw out problems and make things difficult for decision-makers.

"In that case, do you still insist on your idea?"

Shen Ye asked again.

The woman hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"You've likely been bewitched by the devil. Otherwise, why didn't you try to persuade the savages not to kill our people, or enslave them, when they were killing our companions?"

As Shen Ye spoke, he took out the handcuffs that Ningbo had given him earlier.

Before the woman could react, one of her hands was already handcuffed.

Only then did the woman become nervous.

"I...I wasn't bewitched by the devil..."

Shen Ye didn't listen to his explanation. He needed to make an example of him to prevent others from causing trouble as well.

"You say you didn't, then why are you speaking up for the devil? Where were you when our people were killed? Now that we've found the devil's tribe, you're telling me not to capture them. We didn't even intend to kill them. You must have been bewitched by the devil. I'll release you when you come to your senses."

As Shen Ye spoke, he handcuffed her to a closed iron bar outside the cabin.

"Madam, I sympathize with you. I hope you can break free from the devil's temptations as soon as possible. I believe you can do it. God will forgive those who break free from the devil!"

Shen Ye's words made the woman feel somewhat insecure.

People around also cast strange glances at the woman.

The woman watched as everyone distanced themselves from her, and then looked at her own predicament; she burst into tears.

But no one will come to her rescue.

No one cares whether she was truly bewitched by the devil; in short, her actions were already damaging the overall interests, and everyone would reject her.

Just as the Church in the 16th century burned witches, who cared whether they were real witches or whether they were truly guilty?

All we need to do is pin a charge and a label on her.
