It would be much easier if these crew members were used as cannon fodder and supported in front.
The people in the cage became more excited when they saw that Li Tianyang didn't seem to be afraid of Xiao Zhou. Before he even got close to the cage, Li Tianyang smelled a fishy and foul smell.
The cage is ventilated on all sides and is surrounded by wooden railings. There is a water and air leakage at the top, and the smell comes from inside.
He circled the cage twice, back and forth, feeling a wave of excitement in his heart.
The people locked inside are all thin and dry, with sallow complexions and skinny muscles. Their eyes are hollow and numb.
Through the moonlight, Li Tianyang could vaguely see that some of their clothes had the words China Shipping Company on them.
With such treatment and such a cage, it doesn't take much to think that Xiaozhou would capture an ordinary person and use him as a slave.
He finally focused his attention on the outside of the cage. There was a food trough there, which was very similar to the stone troughs used to feed pigs in the countryside. There were still some stinky food residues inside.
Will there be pigs in Xiaozhou?
Definitely not! It is self-evident who this trough is used to feed.
The noise on the shore had already awakened these slaves, and they were all huddled in the corners of the wooden houses, confused as to what was going on.
After a while, the people inside saw that Li Tianyang had not moved yet, and their eyes gradually became more radiant.
They understood that the gunshots on the shore of Dajiao Island might mean that this man was not in the same group as the people in Xiaozhouhui.
"Are you here to save us?"
"Brother, please let us out! Are we in the same group as Xiao Zhouhui?"
"Brother, can you give me something to eat? Whatever, we have been hungry for many days."
Li Tianyang was forced to take a step back by the stench in the cage, frowned, and asked coldly: "Which one of you is the leader? Come and talk to me."
A tall and thin man walked out of the crowd. He stretched his neck and looked at the protagonist with a bit of fear. His mouth opened and closed without knowing how to speak.
"Can't you understand people?"
The Thompson submachine gun in Li Tianyang's hand was pointed at these people from a distance, and the tall and thin man hurriedly squeezed through the crowd and climbed onto the railing.
"I, I'm the leader here!"
Li Tianyang nodded and asked, "Who are you and why were you arrested?"
The thin man licked his chapped lips and replied: "Brother, my name is Li Tu. I am the captain of a merchant ship. The people behind me are all my crew members."
"A while ago, we were ambushed by the Xiao Zhouhui at sea and were captured by them as slaves. At the beginning, there were more than 200 of us, but now, they don't care at all about whether we die or die from diseases. They just make us do hard labor. , even basic food and water are rarely provided.”
The man spoke a lot in one breath, took a few breaths and kept gasping for air. It was obvious that his body could no longer bear it.
Li Tianyang's expression changed.
These people have been on the island for a while and should know the boat very well.
He said: "Li Tu, right? I need to know all the information about the Xiaozhou Society. Tell me how much you know!"
The thin man got excited when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Xiaozhouhui has established a stronghold in Dawan Island, which is the original village committee building. Yes, they have a lot of weapons, and they also raise many ospreys and turtles. Dogs can bite!”
The thin man kept talking, some words were confusing, and some words were irrelevant.
Li Tianyang nodded and listened, occasionally asking questions, and gradually understood the situation inside Dawan Island.
He sorted out the information in his mind and roughly understood four key points.
The first is that the Xiaozhou Club is in Dawan Island. There should be thirty or forty people, all of whom are stationed in the last village committee building.
The building is a reinforced concrete structure, and coupled with post-apocalyptic operations, it can be said to be impregnable. Even if he blasts with a heavy machine gun, he may not be able to knock down this building.
Second, the people in the building should have some native guns and bows and arrows, and the windows are natural shooting holes. What's even more troublesome is that the mastiffs and ospreys they raise are extremely ferocious.
As long as these slaves disobey, they will be bitten to death by ospreys and mastiffs!
The most troublesome thing is that according to Xiaozhouhui, there are some home bombs hidden in the village committee building!
Fourth, there is also a large granary in Xiaozhouhui, which is inside Dawan Island, not far from the village committee building. It contained not only rice, flour, oil and grain, but also some radishes and cabbage, as well as some ham and abalone from their original merchant ship, which were also robbed and moved there.
Li Tianyang silently pondered that it would be much more difficult to dismantle the power of Xiao Zhouhui than to fight a naval battle.
On the sea, none of the fishing boats in Xiaozhouhui could withstand his heavy machine guns, but on this island, they guarded the building and were not afraid of ordinary thermal weapons.
His eyes couldn't help but fall on these crew members
Li Tu, the captain who took the lead, had hope in his eyes and begged: "Brother, I see that you are a good son and daughter. Please let us out, please!"
Li Tianyang looked at these people and smiled warmly.
"There's no problem letting you out. Xiaozhouhui and I have a grudge. As long as you help me knock down the village committee building, I will give you your freedom."
These slaves look at me and I look at you. They just want to escape and be free, but no one dares to ask them to attack the village committee.
Over the past few months, their fear of Xiao Zhouhui has grown day by day!
Seeing that Li Tianyang didn't respond, the leader Li Tu quickly signaled to some people around him with his eyes. He was the first to kneel on the ground and kowtowed to Li Tianyang: "Brother, please do a good job. We are willing to have a boat party, but we We also need to have enough food! We haven’t had enough food for several days.”
other crew members shouted.
"Yeah, we haven't had enough to eat for many days now, and it's hard to walk."
"I'm going to starve to death, how can I have a boat party?"
"My body is feeling weak and my mouth is dry. We need to replenish water."
Li Tianyang also knew that this group of people who walked tremblingly would not be able to attack Xiaozhouhui without a full meal.
On the way here just now, he caught a glimpse of a small warehouse with two or three bags of dried fish. They were things from Xiaozhouhui anyway, so he didn't feel bad giving them to him.
Moreover, these people are all cannon fodder and are about to die, so giving them a meal can be regarded as a good deed.
He said calmly: "Okay, you guys wait here."
Li Tu was overjoyed and led the crew members to kowtow even harder.
"Brother, you are such a good person!"
"When we are full, we will help you win the boat club!"
"As long as you give me a bite to eat, I'll even dare to take down the Hexagon Building, let alone the Xiaozhouhui!"
"We can never repay you enough for your kindness!"
The good words of free money were flying everywhere, Li Tianyang sneered and ignored them, turned around and went to the shantytown next to him.
He had seen this scene before, and the neighbors had said the same thing before, but when it came time to do something, no one was willing to contribute.
But he wasn't worried, he had plenty of tricks to get these crew members to die willingly.
