At first, Han Shuyi was busy washing her face, but then a question suddenly occurred to her.

It had rained for several days, and the footprints on the rocky hill should have been washed away. So these footprints must have appeared yesterday, but she clearly remembered that when she went downstream to fetch water yesterday evening, there was nothing there...

Han Shuyi suddenly realized something and quickly looked around. She found that in the early morning forest, there were insects chirping and birds singing, but nothing special about the banks of the stream.

She looked at the station diagonally opposite. They were a few dozen meters apart, and Lu Wuyai was there, looking back at her.

For some reason, Han Shuyi felt a warm feeling in her heart when she saw Lu Wuyai's actions.

"I'm hysterical."

Han Shuyi shook her head, stood up, and returned to her station.

Just then, the temperature on the deserted island began to rise again, as if the chill of the morning was just a hoax.

Everyone got busy, as the day they left the deserted island was drawing near, and some preparations needed to be made. The most important task was cutting down small trees near the upper reaches of the rocky hill to prepare for the helicopter landing.

In addition, collecting animal droppings is also a very important task.

The combination of fire and animal excrement easily produces a plume of black smoke, which is even more important for attracting helicopters than clearing the landing site.

Upon arriving at the station, after a brief division of labor, everyone got busy near the rocky hill.

Su Xi, Song Xiaoyou, and Han Shuyi were responsible for collecting animal droppings in the forest.

Lu Wuyai, Tang Xin, and Yu Yuxin are cutting down trees upstream, hoping to finish within the next two days.

I have a lot of tools on hand, most of which are made from aircraft wreckage fragments, such as axes and saws, which are very convenient to use.

By noon, Lu Wuyai and his team had completed more than half of their task. The open parking lot was basically finished. The remaining task was to clear the rocks from the hillside to make the parking lot relatively flat.

"take a break."

Lu Wuyai said he was so hot that his whole body was steaming, and the wisps of moisture on his black hair were not very noticeable.

The same was true for everyone else. Su Xi and Yu Yuxin's faces were flushed red, showing signs of heatstroke.

It's one o'clock now, one of the hottest times of the day.

Lu Wuyai carried a bucket to the stream, looked at the clear riverbed, and thought to himself, "What a pity."

"If the water were a little deeper, I could take a shower." Lu Wuyai sniffed his body and found that he really felt uncomfortable.

On the way back, he looked into the forest again and found that Han Shuyi and the others had gone deep into the forest, and could only occasionally see the shadows of some corpses.

Time passed little by little, and before they knew it, the forest became very quiet. Lu Wuyai could even hear his own snoring.

Why did I fall asleep?

Lu Wuyai opened his eyes and looked at the watch on his wrist. It was already four o'clock in the afternoon.

He glanced into the distance and saw Su Xi and Yu Yuxin moving stones. To his even greater surprise, he saw Gu Yuxin.

Am I awake?

Lu Wuyai rubbed his eyes hard, took another look, and finally believed that the person was Dong Bingling.

"This woman is still alive." Lu Wuyai swallowed, wondering what kind of personality Dong Bingling had now.

Lu Wuyai shuddered at the thought of that terrifying figure who could break a tree with a single slap.

But now it seems that Gu Yuxin and Tang Xin were joking, so they shouldn't have been so violent.

Lu Wuyai stood up and took a few steps. Dong Bingling noticed her. A hint of surprise flashed in his sharp eyes. He reached out to greet Lu Wuyai.

"Lu Wuyai".

Upon hearing this voice, Lu Wuyai breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Dong Bingling's personality was now that of a foolish idiot.

Gu Yuxin, who was standing to the side, winked at Lu Wuyai, probably trying to get him to pay attention to what she was saying.

"Lu Wuyai, did you miss me?" Gu Yuxin asked somewhat naively.

Lu Wuyai glanced at Yu Mengru and Tang Xin, then turned around and said with an awkward smile, "Probably, let's think about it some more... Where have you been these past few days?"

"I... I don't know either. Anyway, after I woke up, I searched and searched, and found that stone mountain again." Gu Yuxin pouted, her eyes filled with confusion, but she quickly turned the page.

Yu Yuxia glanced at Lu Wuyai, raised her eyebrows, and gestured for him to go over there to talk.

"What's the deal with this woman? I don't remember her at all," Lu Wuyai asked.

Yu Yuxia nodded, but was a little worried: "At two o'clock, she rushed out of the forest alone, covered in blood, which startled Su Xi and me."

Recalling what had just happened, Yu Yuxin still looked worried.

Lu Wuyai frowned. He remembered Yu Mengru saying that Dong Bingling's personality only changed when she encountered particularly stimulating events.

“Where did he escape from? I’ll go see,” Lu Wuyai said.

Yu Yuxin hesitated for a moment: "Forget it, I won't go. It's better to have fewer worries than more worries."

"It's okay, I'll go take a look myself and clean it up while I'm at it."

"Something clean."

"Blood? Didn't you say Gu Yuxin came out covered in blood? You don't want those cat monsters to come back tonight, do you?" Lu Jian sighed.

He didn't want to relive what happened last night.

Immediately, Yu Yuxia trembled all over and quickly pointed to a desolate forest to the west.

Lu Wuyai grabbed half a bucket of water from the ground and rushed into the forest.

His shoes crunched on the grass. As Lu Wuyai walked on, the stench of blood in the air grew stronger, and his brows furrowed.

His calm eyes suddenly narrowed when he saw several human bodies on the ground.

“Dong Bingling killed him.” Lu Wuyai swallowed hard. His tension made it difficult for him to maintain a semblance of composure. There was no doubt that Dong Bingling had changed her nature and could kill a tiger, let alone a human.

But there were three corpses here, all men. Each one was coughing up blood, lying on the ground. Judging from their skin color, they hadn't been dead for long.

Lu Wuyai took a breath and began to tidy up.

It took Lu Wuyai nearly an hour to successfully drag the three corpses to the foot of a mountain several kilometers away from Shishan.

Then he washed the bloodstains off with water along the way. He wouldn't attract any felines tonight.

As dusk fell, Lu Wuyai emerged from the forest, a smile on his face as he gazed at the red sky to the west.

The sunset is infinitely beautiful; this is the most accurate description of the deserted island right now.

In the forest by the stream, Su Xi and the others returned. They had spent the day collecting animal droppings, and were filthy and smelly. Lu Wuyai could smell the pungent stench from afar.

On the stream, three women were bending over to perform a baptism. They noticed Gu Yuxin's return, and a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes.

Here, Lu Wuyai is starting a fire at the station. The interplay of wood and stone forms the most primitive kind of stove.

Each earthenware pot was filled with stream water. After boiling, some mint was added, and it was allowed to cool before drinking. It was light, with a subtle sweetness. This was a happiness that no other beverage could bring.

"The arrival of the third rescue team may be just a few days away."

Lu Wuyai watched Han Shuyi washing her long hair by the stream and felt a strange sensation in his heart.

The only woman who had close contact with Lu Wuyai during the more than three months he spent on the deserted island was Han Shuyi.

Although it was a form of revenge and framing, happiness was a genuine experience that Lu Wuyai had gone through.

It must be admitted that any man would feel satisfied and proud to have such an experience, and Lu Wuyai was no exception.

Soon, the women by the stream returned to their posts. After a long day, they simply didn't have the energy to do anything else.

However, when they saw that Lu Wuyai had prepared everything, a hint of relief and joy flashed across their faces.

That night, it was finally Lu Wuyai's turn to be a volunteer police officer.

Since making the false accusation in the cave, Lu Wuyai hasn't spent a night with her again. This is entirely due to the woman's distrust of him, fearing she might do something inappropriate. They even escaped in the middle of the night, telling others about the station and the rescue team.

However, Lu Wuyai's recent performance had been quite good, which relieved them somewhat. However, the number of people watching that night increased from two to three. Besides Lu Wuyai, Gu Yuxin and Su Xi were also on night watch.

This made Lu Wuyai feel very sad. During the conversation, he was usually cheerful and talkative. Although he also asked himself to keep watch at night, he still didn't trust himself at all.

And so, the days passed one by one, and everyone eagerly awaited the arrival of the rescue team.

Finally, on the morning of the 23rd day after the second rescue team's failure, Lu Wuyai was pushed out of his sleep.

"If you hear any noise, go and start a fire."

Su Xi's excitement froze everyone in place.

"What's that sound?" Lu Wuyai frowned, still half asleep.

"The sound of an airplane."

Sure enough, not long after, a faint sound of propellers could be heard in the sky, and the sound became clearer and closer.

Without a moment to think, everyone rushed into the forest, took out the animal droppings they had prepared a few days earlier, and threw them into the still-burning campfire.

Soon, a faint line of black smoke appeared on the rocky hill, but it was not very noticeable because it had just started burning.

Just then, Lu Wuyai saw a helicopter with red crash lights flashing fly over their heads.

As the plane flew by, no one was discouraged. After all, without Han Shuyi's locator, the plane obviously couldn't pinpoint the location of the rescue.

"Increase the firepower, and you'll see it when the next plane comes." Lu Wuyai pursed his lips and subconsciously glanced at Han Shuyi. She was also looking at him, but her calm eyes revealed no valuable information.

Lu Wuyai was a little nervous. He had had a negative encounter with Han Shuyi before, and perhaps this woman would cause him to die on the deserted island.

After all, a woman like Han Shuyi wouldn't leave a stain on her reputation in the public eye, not even a scandal.

Seemingly sensing what Lu Wuyai was thinking, Han Shuyi turned her head to the side, gazing at the azure sky, hoping the plane could take her away from this deserted island as soon as possible.

But everyone stared at the sky for over half an hour. The plane left and never returned, and everyone became impatient.

Just then, Han Shuyi suddenly ran towards the rocky hill upstream.

Everyone realized what was happening, and after adding a lot of firewood to the campfire, they ran up the mountain.

At this moment, everyone stood on the high mountain. Looking around, thick smoke rose from many places in the forest. Above the green forest, a black steel machine had been circling continuously until now, when it finally landed.

"This is absolutely outrageous!"

Lu Wuyai spat as he descended the mountain, thinking to himself that none of the survivors on this deserted island were idiots. Hearing the roar of airplanes, he immediately understood that the rescue team was approaching.

Among them, someone actually set fire to the forest on the deserted island.

Compared to the thick gray smoke and intense flames, the column of black smoke on the rocky mountain was pitifully small.

The only good thing was that there wasn't a good parking lot at the fireworks display location. Planes kept circling around, looking for a place to land.

"What should we do now?" Dong Bingling asked, looking very nervous.

what to do.

No one answered her question because they didn't know what to do. The plane was too high above the ground for sound to travel. There was a lack of communication between the rescuers and those being rescued. It seemed they could only wait for the plane to find a place to land on its own.

“Hang in there,” Lu Wuyai said. “Our house is very close to the plane. As long as they can see an open space on the rocky hill, they will definitely choose to park the plane here.”

“Lu Wuyai is right, we can only wait,” Ye Meng said. “Hopefully we’ll be lucky, otherwise we’ll have to call a helicopter.”

So after that, Su Xi and Yu Yuxin stayed on the mountaintop, continuing to observe the plane's movements. The others returned to the rocky hill and lit a fire with the wood they had collected over the past few days. As time passed, the column of black smoke and animal droppings grew larger and larger.

Finally, the thick black smoke attracted the rescue team members on the plane.

At 10 a.m., the black steel helicopter finally landed smoothly on the gentle pile of rocks.

Everyone was very excited and began to walk firmly toward the helicopter.

“Lu Wuyai, we can go back now.” Yu Yuxia was very excited and suddenly hugged Lu Wuyai. Her full breasts made him swallow hard.

Gu Yuxin quickly let go, her face flushed.

Han Shuyi glanced at Lu Wuyai, but said nothing and faced the rescue team first.

But when the hatch opened, everyone was stunned because there were just too many rescue team members.

"There are seven people in total." Su Xi's eyes widened. This plane wasn't big. It could only seat ten people.

Han Shuyi thought of something and calmly said, "It's because of the previous two failures that so many people came this time."

Hearing this explanation, everyone looked distressed. This time, they were destined not to let any more people leave.

"You can add more than three, it's up to you." Han Shuyi had already boarded the plane, leaving the others on the rocky hill a chance to speak.

Lu Wuyai waved his hand and said, "You go first, don't think about me."

After speaking, Lu Wuyai lowered his head and walked to the side, but unexpectedly Su Xi also walked over with a smile on her face.

"If you don't leave, I won't leave either." Su Xi said with a smile, "I made a mistake last time, but this time I'll stay with you."

Lu Wuyai looked at Su Xi and suddenly nodded.

Over there, Su Xi, Song Xiaoyou, Yu Mengru, and Dong Bingling stood on the ground, looking at each other. At first, no one spoke.

While there will certainly be another rescue, to be honest, no one wants to stay on this deserted island. After all, you never know whether an accident or tomorrow will come first.

“I’m staying,” Song Xiaoyou suddenly said, catching everyone off guard.

Finally, Su Xi, Gu Yuxin, and Gu Yuxin all boarded the plane. Watching the three figures gradually shrinking below the rocky hill, they were filled with mixed emotions.

Farewell.

Lu Wuyai smiled and looked at the sky. To his left was Su Xi, and to his right was Song Xiaoyou. They were also watching the helicopter that had finally taken off from the deserted island.

That was the hope of survival, while those left on the deserted island would likely face a difficult life.

Moreover, judging from the thick smoke rising from the forest just now, there are probably at least four waves of survivors left.

"Put out the fire first to prevent others from coming," Lu Wuyai said.

After these few days of effort, this is what finally happened.

After extinguishing the campfire, the three found a shady spot to rest. Looking up at the sky, they could still see the helicopter flying away over the forest.

"Hopefully the new rescue team will arrive soon." Lu Wuyai rested his hands on his head, feeling the shade of the trees on his face, and felt incredibly comfortable.

Su Xi smiled slightly, brushed the hair away from her forehead, and a trace of sadness appeared in her bright eyes.

Song Xiaoyou was still making pottery jars nearby. She still had a lot of clay from the last time, and she planned to make some new things.

Just as Lu Wuyai was getting bored, something seemed to flash across the sky.

Immediately afterwards, a muffled gunshot, like thunder, rang out repeatedly.

Suddenly, Lu Wuyai jumped up from the ground. It wasn't that he had imagined things; the helicopter had crashed.

Just a second ago, the plane was clearly still in the air, but at this very moment, it disappeared.

"Quickly. Let's go take a look."

"Another plane crashed."

Cold sweat broke out on Lu Wuyai's forehead. Every time he thought he could leave the deserted island, something would always happen in the end.

This almost became a nightmare for those leaving the deserted island.

Soon, the three men gathered all the tools they could carry and raced along the rugged mountain path toward the direction the plane had taken off.

“It can’t be that unlucky,” Su Xi said.

Lu Wuyai shook his head, hoping that he had just imagined it, but now that he thought about it, the scene was particularly clear.

"Be careful," Song Xiaoyou warned.

The midday sun shone on the forest, dappling the leaves and looking extremely dazzling.

Before long, the three of them were covered in sweat, and their progress had slowed considerably. They encountered a rainforest along the way. Where there was water, there were swarms of leeches. The density was terrifying.

Finally, around 2 a.m., the three panting men saw black smoke rising from the woods not far away.

"I'll go check first. Don't wander around in the forest," Lu Wuyai said. "Come out when you hear the whistle."

Su Xi and Song Xiaoyou nodded, holding their weapons and cautiously looking around.

Soon, Lu Wuyai passed through the grove of trees ahead and caught a glimpse of the bent tree trunk beside him out of the corner of his eye. The cross-section was clear and smooth, indicating it had been broken in one blow.
