Elise's remarks reminded Chuck about this problem. He used to watch movies like that, but it was impossible for that to happen in the modern era.
It had to be, right?
However, he should be cautious. Thankfully, Chuck had already made some simple weapons in these three days. He had sharpened a broken bone into a sharp knife and hid it.
"Hey, I'm talking to you. Did you hear me? Look at them, they look so primitive." Elise was slightly nervous.
Her flesh was soft and tender. If she were to encounter any violent and unfriendly indigenous tribe, she would definitely be dead.
"Can you just shut up!" Chuck snapped.
Concurrently, the indigenous people were heading to Chuck on the boat. Their clothes were primitivelooking but they weren't hostile, right?
"You have to protect me. If anything happens to me, I swear, your whole family will die," Elise held onto Chuck's arm tightly.
This was terrifying.
"Stay away from me!" Chuck kicked her.
Tears welled up in Elise's eyes but she held onto Chuck stubbornly, sobbing, "I don't want to die. I'm only eighteen. I don't want to die..." "F*cking hell! You're so annoying,1' Chuck cursed in frustration.
Wasn't she very brave previously? Yet, did she turn into a spineless jerk just because of this?
Soon, the indigenous people had reached Chuck by boat. He noticed that they had sent two of their people over, with something painted on their faces.
"Look at their eyes. They're staring at me," Elise was horrified. Back in the base, Chuck had already ripped her shirt apart. Along the way, countless branches had further torn and clawed at her shorts. She never encountered something like this in her entire life before.
"Protect me. If I die, they will also kill you too. Please protect me."
Chuck paused for a moment and realized that she was right. If the indigenous people decided to harm her, he would suffer too.
They were used to living in the forest and had bountiful experience surviving in the wild fighting wild animals. Chuck could not underestimate them.
He took off his shirt and handed it to her, ordering, "Put it on."
Elise immediately wore his shirt and felt a little safer.
However, she continued to hold onto him for dear life.
The indigenous people babbled in a language that Chuck did not understand. He could barely understand the United States accent, so how could he possibly understand a completely different language?
"What are they saying?" Chuck asked.
"I'm scared. I don't know," Elise was clueless and kept repeating, "You must protect me. You..."
"Shut up!" Chuck shouted at her in annoyance.
It was only then that Elise bit her lip and kept her mouth shut.
"Let go of me!" He proceeded to shove her away.
"No, I won't," However, Elise stuck to Chuck closely.
Meanwhile, the two indigenous men gestured furiously. Chuck finally understood that they were going to take him somewhere else.
Naturally, he agreed.
"Let's go," Chuck stepped forward, only to have Elise drag him away, refusing to leave.
"I'm scared. Look at them. They look like they're up to no good. I don't mind if you torture me, but I don't want to be die here," Elise sobbed. For the past few days, she had suffered too much hardship. As a child, she was doted and had never lived in such a harsh environment.
She was physically and mentally stressed. In addition, Chuck kept hitting and scolding her. She was at the verge of breaking down.
Moreover, she was scared out of her wits.
Chuck scowled and scrutinized the two indigenous men. At times like that, he knew that a boat was hard to come by. Chuck knew that if he went along the river, he would definitely be able to meet some people and therefore reach modern civilization. If he could escape to the outside world and make a phone call to his mother, then his dangerous adventure would be over.
Chuck hesitated. Suddenly, he spotted a bracelet on one of the indigenous men's wrist. It was written in English!
Did the indigenous people know someone who spoke English?
