Chapter 578


    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 wed 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 anguage that Chuck did not understand. He could barely


    understand the United States ent, so how could he possibly understand apletely 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 toe 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?


    Chuck thought that it was very likely. If anyone had a mobile phone, he could just call his mother.


    Then, his mother could just send a helicopter to pick him up, right?


    "Come on," Chuckmanded solemnly.


    Elise burst into tears and grabbed Chuck''s arm forcefully.

    The indigenous men continued conversing in a foreignnguage and started rowing the boat.


    "Push them off the boat. Then, we can escape," Elise whispered.


    "What ''we''?" Chuck was staring at the man''s bracelet. Were there some foreigners at the


    indigenous vige?


    "You... I can''t wait for them to kill you. I''llmit suicide if things turn out for the worst!" Elise was


    furious but still refused to let go of him.


    Chuck ignored her. The two indigenous men kept talking and eyed Chuck and Elise. Naturally, he


    was on guard. He was not a fool.


    Over an hourter, Chuck finally spotted someone on the shore staring at him. "Protect me. Please,


    I''ll give you a lot of money." Elise was panicking.


    "Oh my god! Shut up!" Chuck wanted to understand theirnguage. It would be great if he knew


    what they were talking about.


    If his mother was around, she would definitely understand.


    It was a pity that he did not have the time to learn thenguage.


    The boat docked. The two indigenous men invited Chuck and Elise to go ashore. Chuck got off the


    boat and Elise stuck to him closely. Although this meant she was in close contact with him, she


    could not care less at times like that. She just wanted to survive.


    The indigenous men were still chatting. Over a dozen of them came over. Chuck would have a hard


    time if he had to fight with them.


    Meanwhile, Elise was on the verge of breaking down. She was useless at this time.


    "Lorem ipsum"


    One of the indigenous men motioned for Chuck to follow him.


    Chuck followed him without hesitation. Shortly after, they arrived at a vige. The vige consisted


    of ancient buildings and looked like a primitive tribe. However, there were some indigenous people


    that were wearing modern clothes.


    Chuck had seen a documentary about this before. They were probably a friendly tribe.


    Chuck nced around to see if there were any foreigners around. It would be great if he could ask


    for directions. What if they were here for some sightseeing?


    What if they understood the indigenousnguage?


    Chuck studied the vige closely but could not find anyone. However, he kept observing his


    surroundings after the men led him into the vige. He was considering all his possible escape


    routes if anything went wrong.


    That was Chuck''s first priority.


    "No, don''t! Protect me! Chuck, they''re going to take me away," Elise sobbed and grabbed Chuck''s


    hand.


    Chuck red at her. He noticed that several indigenous women were talking about Elise. Despite


    not understanding them fully, he could tell that they were trying to make her go somewhere else.


    "I beg you. Please protect me. I don''t want to die," Elise pleaded.


    "Ah, no!" Several indigenous women dragged Elise away as she wept in fear. She cried desperately,


    "No, please, I beg you, I was wrong. Save me..."


    Chuck ignored her.


    Chuck hesitated for a few seconds upon hearing another viger mumble something. He was


    pointing to a fragile room made of mud. It was only then that he found that these people had


    suspicious looks on their faces.


    There really was something wrong here. Chuck decided to leave on his own. As for Elise, she was


    on her own.


    Fortunately, the tall indigenous men thought that Chuck was weak. It was not difficult for Chuck to


    escape. After all, he was an expert in fighting and had a knife hidden with him as well!


    However, Chuck wanted to see if they had caught some foreigners. If that was true, he couldn''t just


    escape on his own without saving his kinsmen.


    Chuck was not kind but he would be willing to lend his countrymen a hand. It was him taking the


    risk. After all, one of the men was wearing a foreign bracelet that had toe from somewhere,


    right?


    Several indigenous men babbled away, seemingly rebuking Chuck.


    Chuck was shoved rudely into the room as the door closed behind them. The inside of the door was


    made out of wood, making it extremely easy to bust themselves free. The problem now was that


    there were a lot of vigers standing guard outside.


    Chuck was confined to the dark room. He could not see and whispered, "Hey, is there anyone


    there?"


    He decided to check if anyone was in the room with him. If there wasn''t any, he could then attempt


    to escape on his own. However, after calling out for a few times, a weak voice echoed in the dark,


    "You''re... caught too?"
