When Lu Ye arrived at the scene, the brown bear was already spitting blood, but it was comically spinning around on the ground, its four huge paws swaying back and forth. It looked both comical and憨厚 (honest and simple), clearly trying to amuse people... or rather, begging for mercy.

Perhaps it never imagined that the little guy who looked like a wild man just two months ago would now be living in a wooden house.

Lu Ye thought to himself that this guy was quite clever; he even knew how to beg for mercy!

But when he got closer, he noticed that there was a noose around the brown bear's neck. Although it was very fragile, it was proof that the brown bear had been domesticated!

No wonder they perform such comical acrobatic acts.

However, this also confirmed his guess that some of the animals on the island had arrived there via a shipwrecked vessel.

Perhaps Violet is the same way.

As Lu Ye pondered this, he handed the lamb skewers to Violet.

But this time she didn't answer.

“Someone’s coming,” she said.

Chapter 21 Did I wander onto the wrong set?

"Someone's here?" Lu Ye was taken aback and immediately became nervous.

But half a minute passed, and no one knocked on the door of the cabin, nor did anyone barge in.

Thunder rumbled outside, and through the layer of wood, the pattering rain seemed to envelop the world.

Did Violet mishear?

Just as Lu Ye was wondering, he suddenly heard some footsteps.

Logically speaking, with such heavy rain outside, one shouldn't be able to hear anything, but when there are many of them, things change.

There was more than one person on the other side; the footsteps were dense and numerous, probably around ten.

Although he couldn't hear it very clearly, Lu Ye did hear a faint sound.

That was the sound of boots moving forward on the muddy ground, somewhat out of place in this world filled with the sound of rain.

But the rain outside was so heavy that it was easy to miss if you weren't listening carefully.

If Violet hadn't reminded him beforehand, Lu Ye really wouldn't have noticed.

Lu Ye glanced at Violet, who was following instructions and sitting quietly by the campfire with her back to the door.

Speaking of which, Violet's hearing is indeed very good. When that bear came before, even the sheep hadn't noticed the brown bear's arrival, but Violet, who was lying on the meadow, rushed out first.

However, Lu Ye wasn't entirely sure just by listening, so he went to the doorway and peered through the small gaps between the wooden planks to observe the situation outside.

The rain was pouring down, and warm yellow lights shone in the front yard, illuminating the falling raindrops and creating a dense, woven effect.

Lu Ye could see clearly the people who were getting off the ship.

They were dressed in dark green military uniforms, completely soaked, but their posture was upright, with rifles slung over their shoulders, though not all of them had rifles, only about four of them...

Lu Ye guessed that it was a semi-automatic bolt-action rifle, a type of firearm that was widely used in World War I and World War II.

It is estimated that they were seeking shelter on the island and found this place after a long journey.

The reason Lu Ye chose to build the wooden house not far from the cave was because the terrain behind this beach was complex and the vegetation was dense. Anyone with a discerning eye would choose to find a place to shelter from the rain nearby rather than stay on the beach.

The three men in front carried lanterns, which illuminated the row of buttons on their uniforms, but the shadows of their hat brims obscured their faces.

There were probably eight or nine people?

Lu Ye prepared to count them in detail, which would only take a few seconds.

After all, knowing the exact number of people on the other side is also quite important.

Just then, a gust of wind blew by, and the lampshades in the soldiers' hands began to sway.

In that instant, Lu Ye suddenly saw something flashing with a silvery-yellow light dart past behind the soldiers!

But the light vanished in an instant, disappearing completely after Lu Ye blinked.

Is it a hallucination? Lu Ye wondered.

After standing here staring into the distance for so long, my eyes are definitely a bit sore.

But he couldn't watch any longer, because the officer-like figure in the lead said something to his men, and then the soldier carrying a lamp walked over.

However, Lu Ye felt a little more at ease.

Because the soldier had removed his rifle and handed it over to someone else before coming over.

They're probably here to prove they meant no harm... right?

He returned to the campfire and waited silently for the knocking to sound.

"Who are those people?" Violet asked in a very low voice.

“They are soldiers. Perhaps we can leave this island with them. Also, remember what I said before.”

Violet nodded, indicating that she understood.

Lu Ye was somewhat surprised. He had been imparting so much knowledge about the outside world to Violet these past few days, and he thought she would be a little excited that they might be able to leave this place.

"Dong dong dong."

The sound of fingers knocking on the wooden door indicated that the soldiers had arrived.

Lu Ye took a deep breath, then left the campfire and gently pulled out the latch on the door.

He opened the door, welcoming in the wind and rain and the towering black figure.

The soldier was a few centimeters shorter than Lu Ye.

He said something, but Lu Ye was stunned.

He couldn't understand a word the soldier in front of him was saying!

Now how to do?

I guess I'll just have to pretend we don't speak the same language, even though we don't really speak the same language.

But this is a real problem. Let's not even talk about how to communicate with these people and ask them to take me away from the island.

Even if we leave the island, the language barrier is a huge problem!

Just then, the heartwarming light blue faceplate appeared.

It's always a good thing when it pops up on its own, either to release side quests or to distribute points.

[Achievement: First encounter with native inhabitants of another world]

[Reward: Proficiency in the current world language]

This is it! Language is the bridge for human communication!

While delighted, Lu Ye couldn't help but feel a little strange.

Wasn't Violet the first "native inhabitant" he met in this world?

"Hello, are you listening to me?" The soldier frowned slightly.

Lu Ye's thoughts were briefly pulled back.

"Oh, I'm sorry, it's raining heavily outside, and my hearing isn't very good," Lu Ye said.

"Is that so? Excuse me, we are soldiers from Leidenshaftrich. We were stranded here after being hit by a storm and found this place while looking for shelter. May we stay here for the night?" The soldier, despite his slovenly face, was very polite.

Looking into his green eyes, Lu Ye felt that this guy looked familiar.

He suddenly remembered!

Dietfried Badenville.

He was the one who took Violet away from the island.

Although this was a good thing for Lu Ye, he still felt something was off.

If I remember correctly, this guy's attitude in the original work was very arrogant... no, that's just his personality, dissolute and unrestrained.

But why is he being so polite to me?

He appeared unarmed, while these soldiers were armed. Given Dietfried's temperament, he might very well kick him out of the house.

Lu Ye suddenly thought of the leading officer who had been standing outside the door earlier.

Given Major General Dietfried's rank, the person who could instruct him to knock on the door must be someone of a higher rank.

But... is there really such a person?

Lu Ye racked his brains, but couldn't remember anything.

"What do you think? If you're not willing, we'll find another place as soon as possible. It's not that I want to rush you, but my brothers are still waiting outside."

"Of course, I haven't seen any outsiders in a long time. But there are quite a few of you, and this room is rather small, I'm afraid..."

"It's alright. You seem to have some livestock here. The rest of you can go there to take shelter from the rain. But if possible, please lend the brothers some fire in the sheep pen."

"can."

Dietfried turned and shouted toward the door.

"He agreed, and those with the rank of sergeant or above went inside, while the rest went to the sheepfold in the back to take shelter from the rain."

The soldiers, who had been standing in the rain, moved forward.

Just then, a branch-shaped bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, tearing the sky apart with its blazing white light.

Lu Ye's eyes widened suddenly.

Because in the instant the lightning illuminated the sky, he saw a machine that resembled a demon god.

That was a jet-black... Gundam standing behind those soldiers!

Lu Ye was dumbfounded.

Did I wander onto the wrong set?

Chapter 22 Suspicion

No, no, no, calling it Gundam is a bit of an exaggeration.
