315: Chapter 313: Miscalculated Fate 315: Chapter 313: Miscalculated Fate Gao Yang realized he had overlooked a problem, which was that the Akuri tribe was always migrating.
If the Akuri tribe left their grass huts, it was very possible that other tribes of the same ethnicity as the Akuri would come and occupy the intact grass huts and continue to live in them.
That is to say, it was very likely that the people living inside the grass huts built by the Akuri tribe were not Akuri themselves.
Gao Yang had once accompanied the Akuri tribe during their migration and encountered grass huts abandoned by other tribes.
Although grass huts deteriorate very quickly without human upkeep, if they were lucky enough to find one that was still habitable, or needed only minor repairs to be livable, the Akuri would be more than happy to move in.
Although the chances of encountering a habitable grass hut in the grasslands were small, the possibility was still there.
If Gao Yang had initially assumed that the people who had been killed while living in the grass huts built by the Akuri tribe had been usurped by others, it would have been self-deception.
But now, realizing that the people who had been murdered in the huts had not used rifles to fight back, such a conclusion seemed reasonable.
The number of casualties didn’t match, and the weapons used were different.
It was very likely that the Akuri had not been harmed.
After coming to this realization, Gao Yang immediately felt a surge of excitement—it was as if he had seen a ray of light in the darkness.
Gao Yang immediately shouted at his captive, “Are you certain that no guns were found in the primitive tribe that Moimosun attacked?
Not whether they used guns, but that no rifles were discovered at all?”
“None, if there had been any, they would have mentioned it.”
“Have you attacked any other primitive tribes?”
“No, we have been here for a long time and only encountered one primitive tribe.
Perhaps Moimosun has seen others elsewhere, but not in this area.”
Gao Yang felt as if he had escaped from death.
He could now almost be sure that the tribe that was attacked was not the Akuri.
Even though this meant that he might have been taking risks for a tribe he didn’t know for the past two days, who cared about that right now?
The safety of his own people was what mattered the most.
Gao Yang immediately decided to leave the area at once.
Revenge was no longer a concern.
If he was avenging another tribe, having killed so many people by now was enough.
If it ultimately turned out that the Akuri tribe had indeed vanished from this world, then he would continue to seek revenge.
After all, he knew who the enemy was and there was no fear they would escape.
At this moment, joy had taken hold of Gao Yang.
Even the injured captive seemed more agreeable to him.
In high spirits, he reached for his backpack, pulled out a first aid kit from the outermost pocket, and then took out two pre-filled quick syringes, loudly declaring, “You’ve been cooperative, and you’ve given me good news, so I will not only spare your life, but I will also help you.
Now move your hand away.”
After injecting the medicine from the syringes near the wound, Gao Yang said in a serious tone, “One of those injections is to prevent infection, the other for pain relief and to help stop the bleeding to some extent.
If you are lucky enough to survive, go take a look at the outside world.
If you die, blame it on Moimosun and their people.”
After finishing speaking, amid the captive’s sobbing, Gao Yang picked up several AK47s from the ground, removed the magazines, and slung them over his body, then left stealthily, still crawling.
Although the rain was still heavy and accompanied by lightning and thunder, Gao Yang had already spent quite some time under a large tree and had to leave.
Since the Akuri tribe was safe, there was no need for revenge.
Leaving in the current bad weather was the right thing to do.
Gao Yang alternated between crawling and crouching to jog, moving several hundred meters back before finding another large tree to shelter from the rain.
Having left the area where he could have been shot, things became easier for Gao Yang.
He just needed to wait for the storm to pass before he could leave and then continue searching for the Akuri tribe.
He quietly waited under a tree for two hours.
As the rain clouds moved away, the downpour gradually lessened until it stopped.
Gao Yang immediately stood up and jogged back in the direction he had come from.
After about an hour of running and once he was certain he was no longer at risk of being struck by lightning, Gao Yang quickly stopped, took out his satellite phone, and called Li Jinfang.
As soon as Li Jinfang answered, Gao Yang said urgently, “Cancel all plans, and notify everyone immediately, there’s no need for them to come.
You don’t need to come either, I can handle the rest on my own.”
“What’s happened?
Is there a problem?”
Gao Yang, excited, said, “My tribe is likely safe, the trouble has befallen another tribe.
It’s a long story, and I can’t explain it all right now.
Just hurry and let everyone know not to come and not to worry about me.
I don’t need to seek revenge now, nor do I need to exchange fire.
Once I find the Akuri tribe, I will head back.”
“Understood, I’ll make the calls right now,”
Gao Yang couldn’t help but chuckle, “Let’s split up the calls.
I’ll call Old Russian and Morgan, and you tell Bruce and Frey.
Better hurry, or it’ll be a hassle once they board the plane.”
After that, Gao Yang immediately called Glolov to let him know there was no need to worry about himself or to rush over to help.
Glolov was waiting to meet up with Bruce and take a flight together, and though they had already booked their tickets, luckily, they hadn’t boarded the plane yet.
When Gao Yang called Morgan, he felt somewhat embarrassed for having caused such a commotion that alarmed everyone, only to find out it was a false alarm.
Upon getting through to Morgan, Gao Yang briefly explained his discovery and the situation he was facing.
After telling Morgan he didn’t need help, he sincerely thanked him.
After hastily finishing the calls, it wasn’t long before Li Jinfang called back.
Gao Yang answered and quickly asked, “How did it go?
Did you get in touch with Frey and Bruce?”
“I reached them.
Frey didn’t have a suitable flight, so he was still waiting at the airport.
After I notified him, Frey just needed to head back home from the airport.
Bruce is a bit more troublesome; I couldn’t get through to his phone, he might be on the plane.
But Bruce had mentioned to me that he would meet Glolov at the airport, and they would take the flight to Africa together.
Once he lands, Glolov can just pass on the message to him.”
Gao Yang laughed self-consciously and said, “What a mess this has been, disrupting the guys’ plans.
Alright, you stay put too, no need to come.”
After a brief silence, Li Jinfang spoke sternly, “Brother Yang, maybe I should stick to the original plan and still come find you.
I’m already on the plane, and we’re nearly at Malakal.
Destin is also on the plane; he needed to get to our ship on business, so he joined me for protection on the way.
When he heard you were in trouble, he rushed here with me.
We’re together right now.
Would you like to speak to him?” (To be continued.
