Falling into the Cretaceous

Chapter 78 Climbing Plants

Shen Ye glanced at the primitive man who was handcuffed to the tree trunk.

His sitting posture resembled the Chinese character "匕" (dagger), clinging to the tree, leaving him with no possibility of escape.

Shen Ye did not intend to begin interrogating it now.

Interrogation psychology belongs to criminal psychology, which is something you learn at police academies. Shen Ye only learned a superficial part of psychology in his elective course.

But it was sufficient for primitive people.

Shen Ye called Sergei over.

"From now on, the security team cannot talk to him, give him food or water, or hit or scold him. All you have to do is keep an eye on him, make sure he doesn't fall asleep, and write down the syllables he repeats."

Although Sergei didn't understand what this was for, he nodded emphatically.

"This matter is very important. We must not allow anyone else to act on their own and break the rules I just established."

Shen Ye said to Sergei very seriously.

Sergei nodded earnestly.

Shen Ye didn't explain that much; it would be very complicated to explain.

Simply put, you push their physical pain to the limit, and then they voluntarily ask to drink water and eat.

This way, you can learn the meaning of the other person's syllables from common sense.

Learning a language is one thing, but to truly internalize it requires long-term psychological preparation.

From eliminating hostility to a sense of belonging.

Shen Ye will kill all the warriors of their tribe, leaving only two or three savage youths.

In this way, without tribes, they lost their sense of belonging and could only depend on the emperor for survival, like eunuchs.

Then, by using some subtle tactics, we can create a competitive relationship between them, making them monitor each other, so that we can continuously extract more useful information from them.

This also allows for a better understanding of them.

As for hatred, that doesn't exist, because tribal unity is based on interdependent interests.

It's not about racial culture or racial identity.

If all the men in their tribe are killed, their tribe will have no means of survival. If they want to live, they must rely on a new power, which could be a race or any other organization.

In addition, there is a power struggle among the savages; when other savages die, the women in the tribe belong to a few of them.

This is the same principle as the death of the person who shared the wealth.

Shen Ye will use female savages as prizes to enslave them.

These things sound simple, but they require flexibility and cannot be done by simply following a set formula.

Shen Ye went to check on the wounded.

A total of eight people were injured this time, most of whom were not protected by armor. For example, the three guys with the bespectacled youth had chest injuries, bitten hands, and scratches on their faces.

These savages still have canines, but they are different from the huge canines of gorillas; they have degenerated to be similar to those of humans.

Therefore, the wounded soldier's skin and flesh were not torn off.

Bacteria in the teeth and claws of primitive humans were also a threat, but fortunately, they had enough iodine.

If they are carrying some kind of virus, then there is really no solution.

Unless it's the kind of super probiotic that was previously speculated to enhance antibodies.

The other five were all middle-aged men, three Asians and two Caucasians.

Overall, the losses are acceptable.

Zhou Jian and his men collected all the animal skins, ropes, and bone toys from the primitive man.

The bodies were carried to the usual cremation area and piled up.

Everyone was exhausted.

Shen Ye looked at the plant that Cui Zhengxi handed him; it was the same plant that primitive people would chew and drip into their eyes.

This is a vine.

The leaves are about the size of a palm, similar to sweet potato leaves, except that they have a symmetrical gourd-shaped pattern on them.

Shen Ye didn't know what kind of plant it was or why it had such a miraculous effect on eyesight; it was very puzzling.

"This thing might harm your eyes, but it could really be useful in a pinch. I can try it out when I have time. We need to plant it now, otherwise we won't know where to find it once it dies."

Shen Ye thought to himself.

Although he knew that this thing might be harmful, it was still an important resource, in case he needed to travel at night one day.

The survival manual includes a poison-testing method. In his spare time, he could use the poison-testing method to test it out, gradually increasing the dosage until his eyes could adapt to it.

Shen Ye found a fertile piece of land, planted more than twenty plants in his hand, covered them with some wood ash, and then told Ningbo and the black boy to come here to pee from now on.

The people in the camp were exhausted after piling up all the cannibal corpses, so the task of burning the corpses was left to those who were on night shift.

The burning of the corpses was disgusting, and firewood had to be added repeatedly.

If we still had jet fuel, things would be much easier.

However, the captain had already emptied the fuel before the plane crashed to prevent a serious explosion during the crash, which was a very correct decision; otherwise, they would have certainly died in the crash.

Those who were on night shift have already gone to the hospital to rest.

Zhou Jian, Cui Zhengxi, the reporter, the photographer, and others were still awake, smoking cigarettes around the campfire and discussing the battle they had just fought.

"I originally planned to lead everyone to attack their tribe tonight, but I clearly overestimated everyone's energy," Cui Zhengxi said with a wry smile.

Zhou Jian rolled his eyes.

"Do you really think everyone's physical strength is like yours? These city bumpkins are all in poor health, with one disease or another." Zhou Jian, as a fitness coach, knows this kind of thing best.

Cui Zhengxi gave a wry smile and exhaled a puff of smoke.

Zhou Jian puffed on his half-smoked cigar, glanced at Shen Ye who was walking over, and then moved his butt off the rock and stood up.

"Brother Ye, we've caught two dinosaurs this time, it's so awesome! By the way, Brother Ye, when are we going to attack the savage tribe? I want to take down that pterosaur too!" Zhou Jian said excitedly.

"Brother Ye, sit here!"

Mike made way for an airplane seat, which he had taken out of the cabin during the day. It was already half detached from the base, but he removed it without much effort. Sitting in this seat was much more comfortable than sitting on a rock.

Shen Ye didn't stand on ceremony and sat down directly.

He also took out a half-smoked cigar, picked up a piece of firewood, and lit it.

"We can't attack their tribe for now. First, we don't know where their traps are located. Second, I need to spend some time learning the language of the primitive people."

Shen Ye said.

"Brother Ye, how do you learn the language of the savages?"

Zhou Jian's eyes widened. He had a hard time learning Mandarin, so learning the language of the savages must be incredibly difficult.

"Don't worry about these things, I'll take care of them."

Shen Ye smiled. For laymen like them, learning the language of primitive people was simply impossible, but for Shen Ye, it was too easy.

Through his observations, he found that the language of these primitive people was not very rich, and they usually spoke single words, with very few two-word or four-word phrases.

The vocabulary is probably only 500 to 1000 words.

The daily usage will not exceed 300.

There are only about a hundred basic words for survival.

If you need to express something complex, you need to use micro-expressions and gestures to help you articulate it.

They don't have any grammar.

Therefore, by learning some key words and using gestures, you can basically communicate.

Now it's like training a hawk; only by breaking down the savage's will can he be enslaved.

They don't need to know these things. Once they've learned them themselves and have more free time, we can teach them gradually.

Not long after they started talking, the same Quetzalcoatlus appeared in the sky. It was obvious that the young savage from the tribe had come to observe.

"Brother Ye, that kid's here again. This time he's probably going to report on the camp's situation," Zhou Jian said. "Even if one or two savages escaped, it's still the same thing!"

"It's different. If any savages return alive, it will expose our combat methods and overall strength. But they're observing from the air, only displaying intelligence, and have no idea how we won. Under this veil of mystery, they'll only fear us and will never easily provoke us again. This gives us enough time to scout them out."

.

Shen Ye said.

Before long, the Quetzalcoatlus flew away.

That savage youth must have been terrified, unable to imagine how his tribe's core warriors had failed and been wiped out!

The corpses are piled up and burned!

He will surely describe what he just saw in pain and horror when he returns to his tribe.

The remaining dozen or so warriors in the tribe will surely be terrified and will absolutely not dare to provoke them again. They might even have to think of moving away.

However, relocating a tribe is not an easy task. They need to survey the terrain in advance and then cut down the forests in that area.

Then they built sheds and fortifications, and finally moved there.

During this process, they cannot give up obtaining food. With their manpower, it would take at least two months to complete such a large project.

Therefore, Shen Ye wasn't afraid of them running away at all.

"Alright, let's go and rest. We have a lot to do tomorrow, so get some rest."

After finishing his sentence, Shen Ye left the chair and walked towards the cabin.

Shen Ye went back to rest, and everyone else gradually headed back as well.

Only the reporter, out of curiosity, picked a few leaves of that plant to study. He smelled them and found that they smelled like mint but with a hint of mustard.

He rubbed the leaves in his hands, and they quickly released a green sap.

"This thing isn't anything special; can it really temporarily enhance eyesight?"

The reporter was curious about this because he has severe myopia and polarization in one eye, and it's hard for nearsighted people to resist herbs that can improve eyesight.

"Want to give it a try?"

The reporter was very curious, and his restless heart was almost unable to contain itself.

However, he was also afraid of damaging his eyes.

He looked toward the stern.

There are two female patients with diabetes who are now lacking insulin. Since they are going to die anyway, why not give it a try?

The reporter felt guilty for having such thoughts, but the desire to survive psychologically justified his actions.
