Chapter 138 The Sinful Family
The so-called Eugene family has indeed a long history in the local area. As early as 1846 during the Mexican-American War, Sam Eugene’s ancestors followed the invaders. Came to this land.
They opened up land in the valley and established vineyards. However, due to the climate of New Mexico, the quality of the grapes here is average. From modern times to the present, the wine here has not produced a particularly famous brand.
Like the wine here, the Eugene family is unknown and the family size is not large. It relies on the local wine industry that is half-dead and thrives silently.
This situation lasted until the end of World War II. Old Eugene, Sam's great-grandfather, who was a ranger at the time, discovered hundreds of miserable-looking red-necked immigrants in the forest.
Some of their eyes were severely burned and nearly blind, and some were covered with abscesses all over their bodies. People at that time did not understand what radiation sickness was. Old Eugene was very afraid that it was a plague, and even believed that these people had been cursed by the devil.
But a few years later, old Eugene was surprised to find that this group of people actually successfully settled in the mountains. Although the people who were still alive were half dead, they still had newborns. Although these newborns were They are ugly, deformed children with an alarmingly high mortality rate.
Old Eugene always believed that this group of people had been cursed and did not dare to have too much contact with them. Until one day, one of the group of people came to him with a small bag of gold
If Old Eugene did provide shelter for these unfortunate red necks objectively, and after collecting a lot of compensation, he purchased daily necessities and food for them, then Old Eugene’s son, that is, Sam's grandfather, Badham Eugene, is a total villain.
In the late 1950s, after experiencing a few years of hippie life, Badham Eugene returned to his hometown with nothing and set his sights on this group of deformed people hidden in the mountains.
According to Sam Eugene, his grandfather Badham was a very clever villain who spent a lot of time dealing with these mountain people.
Soon, he discovered the secret of the gold mine, but he had no intention of revealing the secret, because the place was not privately owned, and even if he sold the secret, he would only get a small sum at most. Quick money, a far cry from Badham's expectations.
So he had a better idea. As we all know, gold mining is actually a very hard work. In the history of the gold rush in the western United States, it was never the gold diggers who made a fortune, but the gold rushers. These are gold diggers who sell tools like shovels.
Badham wanted to be that shovel seller and become the only collaborator of these ‘gold diggers’ in the mountains.
After a series of bizarre deaths, the strange man in the mountain gradually became a legend that no one mentioned, and the secret gold mine became a stable source of wealth for the Eugene family.
Time came to the late 1970s, and a problem that troubled the Eugene family emerged. Perhaps due to long-term inbreeding or other reasons, the number of deformed people decreased sharply. A large number of newborns died in infancy, and the number was reduced year by year. The labor force Started seriously inadequate.
If this trend continues, within a few years, perhaps before the gold mines are dug out, these deformed people hiding in the mountains will become extinct.
Badham was extremely anxious and soon conceived a sinful plan to guide these monsters to rob tourists in the mountains in a planned way.
In fact, the Eugene family discovered very early on that these guys who had degenerated into monsters were sporadically hunting hunters and tourists in the mountains. Some newborns who lacked education regarded these people as prey like wild beasts. Killed and eaten, it once triggered the legend of the Wendigo in the surrounding area.
Badham followed the trend and took advantage of his good relationship with the deformed people to propose a new cooperation with them. The Eugene family, which already controlled the local area to a certain extent, would select targets and regularly hunt tourists in the mountains. , and be responsible for cleaning up the traces afterwards.
The ogres are responsible for killing all male prey for food, and use the captured females as tools for breeding offspring to increase the survival rate of newborns. For half a century, the Eugene family has used this method to firmly control the population of this ogre population. All captured women must be 'screened' by Badham and his sons and given priority by them. Enjoy.
As Badham grew older, his sons and grandsons inherited his business.
They built a mountain villa not far from the mine. This time of year is when the 'hunting season' begins. It is also the time when all the men of the Eugene family wait for the ogre to deliver their prey and start partying. when.
With a pop, Jessie stabbed the knife into the vital part of Sam's lower body. Jack's eyes twitched. He couldn't have this knife anymore. It was a top-quality product costing 200 yuan a piece. It was wasted like this.
Sam, who was firmly stepped on by Jack, was in so much pain that he couldn't cry out. He was jumping helplessly on the ground like a live fish that had been disembowelled.
Jessie stabbed her one after another, and Sam was killed in pain in the process.
"Go to the river and wash your hands."
Jack thought to himself, even if this girl is not the heroine of any horror movie, she still has the potential to be the heroine. It is too scary.
“What do we do next?”
Jessie came back from the river, wiped her hands on her pants, put her sword back into its sheath, and found Jack fiddling with something on the Wrangler off-road vehicle.
"There is a car radio. I am trying to see if I can make contact with the outside world."
This is a CB-Radio, the most commonly used license-free civilian frequency band radio station in North America. The usual range is Covering about 20 miles, this distance is certainly not enough, but with a simple modification, adding an antenna, and slightly increasing the power, Jack can still easily achieve it.
Of course he did not dare to contact the local police casually. God knows how deeply the Eugene family has penetrated the local area, but there are many amateur radio enthusiasts in the United States who often use the civilian frequency band to chat.
He searched for a long time in the 27MHz frequency band, finally found a nearby frequency used by truck drivers to chat, and sent a request for help.
Jack did not disclose any specific information, or even tell him that he was in the Lincoln National Forest. Instead, he pretended to be a tourist named John Nolan who had broken down in the desert due to vehicle failure. He asked someone to help contact a Phone number for help.
In less than half an hour, a strange voice sounded on the public channel and called Jack. The other person claimed to be Rod Dale. This was obviously David Rossi’s man. After two The name of a common 'friend', a certain serial killer named Rosalind Dyer, was used as a codeword.
It’s the end of the month, so what, just give me some of the unwanted tickets?
