In my previous life, I was the特种兵王 (Special Forces King) of a chaotic era, but in this life, I am just an ordinary security guard in a peaceful world.
I thought I could finally enjoy this pea...
Two black dogs peeked out from the woods, their bright wolf eyes watching from a distance. They snorted and vanished in the blink of an eye.
Lu Wuyai smiled; these guys were still here.
With a snap of his fingers, the general and marshal rushed over, their tongues sticking out slightly purple, their hair still damp with the winter sun.
Lu Wuyai wiped their bodies and was surprised to find that the dog hair was still so comfortable, without any messy marks or even a strange smell.
In fact, not only them, but even falcons and wolf cubs rarely have a distinctive scent and are generally quite clean.
Lu Wuyai leaned over the rock, looking up at the clouds coming and going. Before he knew it, dawn had broken.
The blue sky was flawless, like the most beautiful sapphire, so pure and intoxicating.
Around eight o'clock, Lu Wuyai squinted, hearing a familiar rumbling sound. He became alert and immediately ran towards the forest.
Just then, three black helicopters slowly flew in from the direction of the sea. The deafening roar of their rotors, like a whirlpool, deeply attracted the survivors who were still on the deserted island.
"Three planes."
Lu Wuyai looked at the three black steel machines flying overhead and felt slightly shocked.
Three planes flew in at the same time, which had never happened before.
Moreover, based on their flight direction, Lu Wuyai thought of what had happened at the camp before, and a guess suddenly came to his mind.
"Let's go take a look."
Before leaving, Lu Wuyai went into the cave and found that Song Xiaoyou was already awake. He lied and told her that he had gone hunting in the forest. He told her not to worry if he didn't come back that night.
Song Xiaoyou nodded, watching Lu Wuyai take away a crossbow and a bundle of arrows.
Lu Wuyai emerged from the cave with a long howl, and the greedy creature in the air immediately swooped down, landing steadily on the back basket. Its sharp claws were still covered with the blood and fur of some animal.
The marshal also came out. Lu Wuyai stroked its chin and immediately led it into the forest.
After galloping for two hours, the scenery in the forest was like a mottled patchwork of colors, leaving Lu Wuyai feeling completely disoriented.
Fortunately, the rumble of the plane was very clear, and Lu Wuyai heard it soon.
In a relatively open forest near the camp, an airplane was circling overhead. Some soldiers were getting out of the cockpit and beginning to clear the trees so that the plane could land more easily.
Lu Wuyai hid nearby. Half an hour later, the plane landed on the ground, and a total of 12 soldiers, including the pilot, disembarked.
With just one glance, Lu Wuyai knew that the other party was from the Bird Country. He had a very distinctive aura and was a big, fat, and clumsy guy.
"A lot of people have come." Yang Jian was secretly shocked. If the number of soldiers on the three planes was similar, it would be a disaster for the other survivors.
Moreover, when he saw the wooden crates being moved out of the cargo hold, Lu Wuyai even suspected that these people were here to eliminate experimental humans.
After all, if these experimental subjects were to return to human society, it could provoke strong public protests.
At this moment, Lu Wuyai once again looked at those planes with envy. It was a pity that none of the five of them knew how to fly a plane, otherwise he would have already found a way to capture one alive.
They have separated.
Lu Wuyai discovered that after taking the wooden crates out of the cargo hold, these bird-like people had split into two groups. One group headed towards the camp, while the other group started a fire and pitched tents, seemingly having been stationed there for quite some time. This is what it looks like here.
The fewest people left behind were only three, one of whom was resting inside the plane.
After watching for a while, Lu Wuyai got up and rushed towards the surrounding forest.
There's only one plane here. He needs to figure out the locations of the other two planes to see if he can find out what these soldiers from that bird country are doing here.
Another hour passed, and Lu Wuyai stood atop a mountain, gazing at the forest. The approximate location of the three helicopters was here.
Interestingly, the center of the three planes happened to be the container camp. This suggests that these people had a clear objective.
In the sky, white falcons flew at high speed, but they had not yet made any piercing bird calls.
This also means that these soldiers have not yet launched any attacks.
Lu Wuyai thought for a while and decided to go and see. Even if he was in danger, he might still be able to escape.
Soon, Lu Wuyai climbed down the mountain and rushed towards the container base.
Ten minutes later, on the outskirts of the base, Yang Jian squatted on the grass, watching the soldiers coming and going across the way, and noticed that they were looking for things in each container.
To avoid being discovered, Lu Wuyai had been using an endoscope, which affected his vision to some extent.
At that moment, a dark shadow flashed across his field of vision. Lu Wuyai felt a sudden flash of inspiration and immediately cheered. If nothing unexpected happened, something big might be about to occur.
Sure enough, the next second, a loud gunshot rang out near the container, followed by an even louder sound from the forest.
"What's going on?"
When Lu Wuyai saw a large number of humans rushing out of the forest, each of them looking crazy, as if they had entered a bloodthirsty mode, he was stunned on the spot.
The combined firepower of nearly thirty men formed a dense front line in front of the container.
"Right now, I don't know how many people will die."
Survivors were hit by bullets one after another, but few stopped. Just as Lu Wuyai had witnessed yesterday, no one was afraid unless a bullet hit their brain or heart.
Less than a minute later, a crazed experimental corpse lunged at the soldier.
Like a dam bursting, at that moment, every crack will be fatal.
Two minutes later, the area around the container became strangely unfamiliar. Lu Wuyai broke out in a cold sweat, especially when he saw the group of similar-looking people who resembled humans but were not human at all.
There were nearly thirty soldiers. After the initial assault, only a few managed to escape temporarily, hiding inside containers.
But neither they nor Lu Wuyai expected that at this very moment, the three helicopters still in the forest would also be subjected to a frenzied attack by other experimental subjects.
Just as Lu Wuyai regained consciousness, one explosion after another rang out simultaneously.
A rumbling sound.
With a deafening roar, three plumes of black smoke rose from the forest, and Lu Wuyai realized that all three helicopters had been wiped out.
But soon, he began to miss the supplies that had been delivered by helicopter.
Most of the experimental subjects were unconscious. In their subconscious, there seemed to be only some simple destructive behaviors.
Thinking of this, Lu Wuyai immediately left and rushed towards the nearest plane.
Just then, all three planes were destroyed, and fires broke out in many parts of the forest. The flames were difficult to control.
Lu Wuyai found a wooden frame, extinguished the flames on it, and then used the axe he carried with him to split the frame open and extract the materials inside.
“Empty.” Lu Wuyai frowned, discovering several more wooden crates. Opening them, they were also empty. This forced Lu Wuyai to reconsider the purpose of these soldiers’ arrival.
It seems these empty boxes are meant to hold people.
Thinking of this, Lu Wuyai shook his head, looked at the burned plane, and sighed again.
Later, Lu Wuyai went alone to the place where he used to hide crossbows, put some weapons from the basket on his back, and prepared to take them back.
When Lu Wuyai passed by the military camp again, he looked up and saw that the container door was open. He silently mourned for the soldiers in his heart.
It was already afternoon when we arrived at the cave.
Lu Wuyai hid some of his weapons near the forest so he could use them whenever he encountered danger.
Inside the cave, several women were still looking at documents. When they realized Lu Wuyai had returned, their expressions clearly showed relief.
Lu Wuyai looked at the documents in their hands and casually asked him if he had discovered anything.
As a result, Song Xiaoyou asked him if he had ever seen a certain drug in those laboratories before. When he described it, it was crystal clear and sparkled like a star.
"Crystal clear and radiant. Flowing like stars."
Hearing Song Xiaoyou's words, Lu Wuyai's heart skipped a beat, as if he had missed something terrible.
Recalling the first container they entered that night, Yang Jian did indeed find the shape described by Song Xiaoyou in a barrel, which contained ten tubes of liquid.
But what exactly is it?
Song Xiaoyou pulled out a few sheets of paper from the documents beside him. Lu Wuyai glanced at them. They were all written in the US; he couldn't understand a word of them.
However, on the back of the paper, there are several pictures, such as the extraction process of this medicine.
"This is ginseng."
White peony root. Angelica sinensis.
Lu Wuyai looked at the plants in the painting and recognized most of them. This was because during their time on the deserted island, everyone had collected herbs in the wild with Song Xiaoyou, so they had gained some knowledge of them.
Seeing Song Xiaoyou nod, Yang Jian continued looking at the blueprints, filled with curiosity about the liquid.
"What exactly is this thing?" Yang Jian asked.
"A health-enhancing potion," Song Xiaoyou said. "But ordinary people probably can't handle this."
Lu Wuyai seemed puzzled when he heard that this was a tonic for strengthening the body. Just as he was about to ask, Song Xiaoyou seemed to see through his thoughts.
"Without a healthy body, how can it withstand other experimental drugs?"
Song Xiaoyou's words made Lu Wuyai tremble, secretly thinking that those in charge of the LG Technology Alliance were really nothing. To facilitate experiments, they even actively cultivated experimental subjects, giving them healthy bodies.
Upon realizing this, Lu Wuyai's curiosity about the potion immediately vanished.
"But Tang Xin pointed to the data above and said, 'This indicates that the drug is in its first phase. The second phase of treatment involves gentler, more stable formulations. It's very suitable for ordinary people and has no side effects.'"
Upon hearing this, Lu Wuyai pursed his lips and said, "Stop researching these things; it's useless."
Afterwards, Lu Wuyai recounted what had happened that day. The others couldn't help but sigh after listening. It seemed that getting out of this deserted island would be incredibly difficult.
“Actually, this is already quite good,” Jin Xilu suddenly spoke up, and everyone fell silent, looking at the oldest woman in the group, the most feminine presence.
"Here, you don't have to work or spend money. The four seasons are distinct, the birds sing and the flowers are fragrant, and you can occasionally eat wild game. The hardest times are late autumn and winter."
"My skin has improved, I sleep on time every day, and I eat and drink only the cleanest things."
“Even if you get sick, you don’t need to run around. In your words, life and death are determined by fate and wealth.”
Kim Seok-rok's words weren't particularly profound; in fact, because she had just learned Chinese, some of her sentences sounded a little awkward, but everyone understood what she meant.
At the cave entrance, Lu Wuyai rested his head on his palm. He barely heard Jin Xilu's words; they went in one ear and out the other.
By then, dusk was gradually falling.
Suddenly, a clear thud came from the ground above the cave, like a herd of wild horses galloping away.
The moment the sound of footsteps on the ground disappeared, Lu Wuyai emerged from the cave. In the darkness outside, he saw a herd of chestnut horses galloping wildly through the forest.
"This forest is huge; it has everything." Lu Wuyai rubbed his nose. The air was thick with the distinct smell of blood, and he feared that this would be another restless night.
Back in the cave, after closing the door, the five of them lit a campfire outside the toilet. After dinner, they got busy again.
Tonight, only Song Xiaoyou and Tang Xin continued reviewing the materials. Anna and Jin Xilu picked up feathers on the side, enriching their leisure time.
At ten o'clock, sleepiness overcame everyone, and one by one they lay down. Lu Wuyai, who was on guard duty that night, was not sleepy at all. He rubbed his hungry stomach, picked up a pottery pot, and boiled some water.
Finally, Lu Wuyai soaked the biscuits in hot water, and soon a steaming bowl of batter appeared.
To add some nutrition, Yang Jian also added an egg and made some dried mutton. The taste was really strange.
"As long as I can eat my fill, that's enough," Lu Wuyai comforted himself.
His appetite grew bigger every day, which really bothered and confused him.
That night, the wind was strong in the forest. Lu Wuyai only slightly opened the cave entrance. Under the combined pressure from both inside and outside, the wooden planks covering the entrance were almost blown away.
Lu Wuyai hurriedly grabbed the plank, but a strong wind blew in, and the campfire immediately went out.
After securing the wooden planks back in place, Lu Wuyai finally breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to light the fire, he noticed people moving about in the darkness.
Song Xiaoyou took out a lighter and lit the extinguished campfire.
"Go and rest, I'll be back later." Song Xiaoyou opened her beautiful big eyes, looking charming and alluring in the firelight.
Perhaps it was too cold, so Song Xiaoyou pulled up her sleeve and covered her hands.
Yang Jian couldn't sleep. He was instantly awakened by the cold wind, so he simply walked over and sat down next to Song Xiaoyou.
Song Xiaoyou glanced at him but didn't shoo him away. She took out a few sheets of paper from the basket on her back and continued reading.
"The life of a top student." Lu Wuyai smiled and shook his head. Even if he could understand this information, he would still think it was a waste of time.
After sitting for a while, Lu Wuyai felt sleepy again and was about to rest when Song Xiaoyou said softly:
"Tomorrow, we'll go check out the camp."
He was half-asleep when he heard these words, and Lu Wuyai subconsciously hummed, thinking he was dreaming.
But the next day when he went to fetch water, Song Xiaoyou followed him and mentioned it again.
Lu Wuyai opened his eyes wide and asked him why he wanted to go there.
Song Xiaoyou pursed her lips and said, "I want that bottle of reagent."
Lu Wuyai was stunned for a moment. He certainly knew what the reagent Song Xiaoyou was talking about was, but for him, it was a bit risky.
"Moreover, this reagent is useless to us." Lu Wuyai scratched his head, but finally "gave in" under Song Xiaoyou's gaze.
While the others were still in the cave, the two men took two crossbows and, led by the general and marshal, quickly approached the base.
On the way, Song Xiaoyou couldn't keep up with Lu Wuyai because he was going too fast. If she hadn't asked him to slow down several times, he wouldn't have even realized how fast he was going.
"You, you're too fast."
This time, Song Xiaoyou didn't stutter; she was just panting.
Yang Jian apologized awkwardly. By then, they were very close to the base.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the forest was quiet. This silence was always a sign of danger.
Lu Wuyai dared not come out. He took Song Xiaoyou and hid in the forest outside the base. The crossbow in his hand was already loaded with black arrows. The arrows were black and shiny. He also held the pistol with the safety on in one hand.
lie"
Lu Wuyai made a silent gesture to Song Xiaoyou, but the next second, the nearby bushes suddenly surged forward.
Be careful.
As soon as Song Xiaoyou finished speaking, Lu Wuyai realized something was wrong, but it was too late for him to turn back.
Roar!
A deafening roar made Lu Wuyai's eardrums ache.
He never expected that when he arrived at the base, he would not see humans used for experiments, but a tiger.
That's wrong.
To be precise, there were three tigers.
There were three tigers in the grass outside the base. Although none of them were the size of adult tigers, each one stared intently at them. The word "king" seemed to emanate from their foreheads, giving off a sense of spiritual oppression.
Woof woof woof woof.
The general and marshal were particularly excited, their hair stood on end, and they gripped the ground with their limbs, but they remained motionless, only roaring.
Lu Wuyai swallowed hard. This situation was not within his expectations.
Three tigers suddenly jumped out, and no one could remain calm.
Shortly after, Song Xiaoyou suddenly raised his crossbow and pulled the trigger. A burst of bolts immediately scared away a tiger.
it hurts.
The tiger roared, the dragon roared. For the first time, Lu Wuyai experienced firsthand that the roars of animals could actually create a gust of wind, a foul stench.
With a bang.
At that moment, Lu Wuyai didn't think at all; he simply drew his gun and fired.
The moment the bullet pierced the air, time seemed to speed up. Unfortunately, the first and second shots both missed.
Yang Jian was not a sharpshooter, and the tiger was not a fixed target.
Lu Wuyai was not surprised by the result, but he also noticed that Sanhu was even angrier after missing both shots.
"Two idiots."
At this moment, Lu Wuyai looked at the two stupid dogs that were still motionless in front of him and wished he could shoot them dead.
Three tigers were closing in from all sides, making Lu Wuyai and Song Xiaoyou sweat with anxiety.
"Roar!"
The tiger's power shook the sky, and its roar was like thunder, making the two men's ears ring.
“We’re back to back. You deal with the tiger on the left, and I’ll deal with the ones in front and on the right,” Lu Wuyai quickly said.
After that tiger's roar, Lu Wuyai suddenly noticed that the general and marshal's tails were slowly wagging, which made his expression gradually become strange.
Dogs only wag their tails when they are in a good mood, so doing so in this situation is completely inappropriate.
Just as Lu Wuyai was distracted by his own suspicions, the tiger that had been staring at him suddenly launched an attack.
Roar!
Overwhelmed with excitement, Lu Wuyai was a step too slow, a step that often meant a life-or-death separation.
The gun was already in his hand, but Lu Wuyai had already realized that he was a step too late.
As the tiger drew closer, Lu Wuyai couldn't help but prepare for the worst. He raised the gun in his right hand and used his left hand to shield his chest. The worst outcome would be that both his hands would be crippled, but his life could still be saved.
But to their utter surprise, the two dogs, who had just been terrified, suddenly turned around and attacked, biting the tiger's legs hard from both sides.
Almost instantly, a bloodcurdling roar rang out, sending chills down the spines of Lu Wuyai and Song Xiaoyou.
"These two stupid dogs are too cunning." Lu Wuyai swallowed hard, wanting to help, but the two tigers on the left and right remained motionless, staring intently at them, approaching step by step.
Here, the general and marshal were completely engaged in a fierce battle with the wounded tiger. Unfortunately, the grass was too tall, and no one could get close for the time being.
Lu Wuyai looked around and noticed a container behind him, and immediately made up his mind.
"Let's go to a private room."
The purpose of their trip was to retrieve the reagent, but now the container holding the reagent is only a dozen meters away from them.
And so, the two men retreated, while the two tigers on either side slowly walked back and forth.
But minutes later, a tiger blocked their retreat, standing in front of the container. The tiger's eyes stared coldly ahead, like a deathly gaze.
Lu Wuyai still drew his gun and fired. Although he still missed the tiger, he left a huge gap in the air.
Soon, Lu Wuyai took Song Xiaoyou's hand and immediately opened the container door.
The two entered instantly, but something unexpected happened when the door closed.
Perhaps during the battle a few days ago, a bullet pierced the box and shattered the card reader inside. If the door had been closed, the person inside would have been trapped.
With no other option, Lu Wuyai could only stand at the door, staring at the tiger that could pounce on him at any moment.
Following Yang Jian's directions, Song Xiaoyou quickly found the bucket. Inside, she discovered a test tube containing a liquid that shone like stars.
Roar!
After all, in order to prevent the door from closing, Lu Wuyai had to keep a close eye on the iron gates on both sides, occasionally triggering the crossbow to fire iron arrows immediately.
Sometimes, Lu Wuyai would raise his head and gaze into the distance. The general and marshal had been silent for a long time, and Tiger, whose thigh was severely injured, had not yet appeared.
"If I had known earlier, I would have brought Greed along with the others." Lu Wuyai felt a pang of regret, but what was done was done. He still had a gun. If he played it safe, he might even have a chance to kill two tigers.
What worries Lu Wuyai the most is that the roar of the tiger here might attract the attention of others, such as the bird country warriors who are still alive, or the human bodies being used for experiments.
Whoever comes will be another huge crisis for Lu Wuyai and Song Xiaoyou.
Therefore, time is really important.
Lu Wuyai held the gun in his hand, occasionally firing a silenced bullet. The bullet was like a ghostly killing weapon as he shot at the tiger.
Animals have a very strong sense of danger, and Lu Wuyai's marksmanship was also inaccurate. Their back-and-forth exchanges brought them closer and closer.
Lu Wuyai was already covered in sweat. He occasionally glanced back at Song Xiaoyou and saw her trying to extract the test tube from the liquid.
Although he didn't know why Song Xiaoyou wanted the IVF tube, he knew she was never a capricious person.
Perhaps this test tube will be very useful.
When he arrived, Lu Wuyai told him about the liquid turning black earlier, and Song Xiaoyou brought over a ceramic jar. At that moment, she was immersing the jar in the bucket, and then took the opportunity to put the test tube inside untouched.
However, after doing all this, Erhu successfully forced Lu Wuyai through the container opening and into the container.
A strong gust of wind blew in, and the iron gate began to shake.
Click it.
The moment they heard the door close, Lu Wuyai and Song Xiaoyou's expressions suddenly changed.
The container was actually closed.
At this moment, not only were they unable to open the box from the inside, but more importantly, there were two terrifying giant insects inside the dimly lit box.
The atmosphere inside the container became unusually tense.
"Song Xiaoyou, put your things down first."
Lu Wuyai barely dared to breathe as he spoke. Hiding from two tigers in a cramped, container-like space was far too dangerous.
Moreover, once the door was closed, the entire space became extremely dark. Yang Jian recalled that this container, which resembled a storage room, had no lights. He used a flashlight to search for supplies there.
Although the iron box was riddled with bullet holes after the battle, the intersecting light was always limited, and Lu Wuyai and Song Xiaoyou could only catch a fleeting glimpse of the tiger's shadow.
Suddenly, Lu Wuyai shoved Song Xiaoyou aside and crashed into the metal box. A whooshing sound vanished from his ears.
Silence fell upon landing, and the atmosphere in the private room froze once more.
Lu Wuyai swallowed hard and stood up with his back to the metal sheet. Since it was daytime, he hadn't expected to encounter something like this. Naturally, he hadn't brought any lighting equipment.
He had pushed Song Xiaoyou away earlier, and he didn't know what her situation was now.
Just then, a beam of light pierced through the bullet hole, illuminating a small area about the size of a palm in front of Lu Wuyai.
A tiger's claw silently extended and swung towards Lu Wuyai.
Because of the brightness of the light, Lu Wuyai really couldn't see clearly until the other person got closer.
At this moment, there was no time to react, and Lu Wuyai could only choose to resist.
Without any suspense, Lu Wuyai was pinned to the ground by the tiger's claws and rubbed against them for a while, and the smell of blood immediately filled the entire space.
With a whoosh.
Hearing the sound of crossbow bolts slicing through the air, Lu Wuyai, who was in excruciating pain, immediately felt the weight on his body lighten.
Immediately afterward, before he could even "taste" the pain, Lu Wuyai quickly stood up.
Feeling the blood flowing from his arm, even though Lu Wuyai was prepared, the strength of the tiger's claws still made him timid.
"With a bang."
Lu Wuyai fired several shots, and the number of bullets decreased at a visible rate, but not a single bullet hit the tiger.
"Don't fire yet."
Song Xiaoyou's voice came from the darkness. Lu Wuyai then realized something was wrong. He simply raised his leg and charged towards his opponent. A series of sounds of objects being knocked down followed. This time, the commotion was enormous.
Roar!
At the same time, a strong gust of wind blew from behind Lu Wuyai, like an aerial bomb, and sent Lu Wuyai flying.
it hurts.
Lu Wuyai touched the bones in his back, feeling as if he had just crashed into a copper wall, and his limbs were about to fall apart.
In the darkness, he seemed to see something flash by. He quickly raised his hand, and a black crossbow bolt sprang out from his sleeve.
This time, Lu Wuyai was lucky enough to hear a short tiger roar, which should be a sign of pain after being shot.
Realizing his opponent wouldn't continue attacking for the time being, Lu Wuyai endured the pain and finally found Song Xiaoyou. He touched his nose and realized that his opponent had likely fainted.
"Today's luck is really bad."
Lu Wuyai gasped, feeling a strong sense of discomfort throughout his body, wishing he could tear the two tigers apart with his own hands.
Moreover, even if they were killed now, he and Song Xiaoyou wouldn't be able to get out. The container was sealed, and the card reader inside had been destroyed by stray bullets. Unless someone outside opened the door, they would starve and die of thirst here.
Lu Wuyai had originally intended to pick up Song Xiaoyou, but he was too weak and could only drag her along. Now he hid her in a corner of the container, covering her with some soft material to ensure that the subsequent fight would not affect her.
After doing all this, Lu Wuyai deliberately made a commotion to attract the attention of the two tigers.
He walked to a corner and remembered that there were many wooden frames nearby when he last came here.
Yang Jian quickly located the shelves. Even after knocking them over, a series of noises still occurred.
Roar!
The tiger's roar still echoed in the private room, sounding full of resentment.
Even Lu Wuyai hadn't anticipated that after the wooden frames collapsed, a high wall, like a fence, would form. For the time being, the two tigers couldn't get through.
Of course, they couldn't get out. Even without this high wall, they could only hope that someone could open the iron gate.
At this moment, in the quiet environment, Lu Wuyai thought of the two black dogs whose fate was unknown.
"I hope these two black dogs can escape."
But soon, Lu Wuyai didn't want them to go back to the cave, because if they did, the general and marshal would inevitably bring Su Xi and the others back to him.
As soon as Tang Xin and the others opened the container, they feared that the two tigers would immediately attack them.
After thinking about it, Lu Wuyai became a little irritable again.
He went to check on Song Xiaoyou, who was also covered in shards and realized she wasn't fully awake. He touched his own head; the side seemed swollen.
Unable to see his fingers, Lu Wuyai sat on the ground, sullen and thinking about everything that had happened before. He began to regret coming here with Song Xiaoyou.
"Tell me, why are you looking for this?" Lu Wuyai angrily took out the earthenware jar from the basket on his back. Looking at the still shimmering liquid inside, he had an urge to crush it on the spot.
But after thinking about it, I decided to give up for now. After all, I took a huge risk to get this thing. Now I'm ruining it; I have a crazy brain.
Soon, time passed, and Song Xiaoyou, who had been unconscious, woke up. Looking at the pitch-black surroundings, she realized that she and Lu Wuyai had not yet left the container.
"You're awake," Yang Jian asked when he heard Song Xiaoyou get up.
"Are you alright?" Song Xiaoyou asked.
The two chatted for a while. Lu Wuyai held the pottery jar, wondering why his young friend Song had come to get the potion.
After a moment of silence, Song Xiaoyou said, "If we want to survive longer on the desert island, we must stay healthy."
"And this medicine can help us live well."
After listening, Lu Wuyai complained, "You're really thinking too far ahead."
“Don’t be afraid. If we drink this stuff, we’ll turn into those crazy experimental humans,” Yang Jian said, puzzled.
However, Song Xiaoyou said that the reason those experimental subjects went crazy was not because they were injected with this drug.
“I looked at the ingredients; they are all plant extracts. As long as you don’t drink them in large quantities, they won’t cause any negative effects.”
However, Lu Wuyai didn't believe Song Xiaoyou's words at all. After all, the horrors of those human experiments were still fresh in his mind.
"Let's think about how to get out first."
He didn't have many weapons left, only five bullets. When he left, Lu Wuyai had only taken a magazine with him. The first few shots had already used up a lot of ammunition.
As for the crossbow, Lu Wuyai had lost the ones he had collected several times before, and now only the one in the basket on Song Xiaoyou's back remained.
At this stage, the most important thing is to kill two tigers. Even killing just one would be better.
We need to think of a way.
Lu Wuyai was already hungry, so he took out two biscuits from his pocket, cut them into three pieces, and ate them.
Song Xiaoyou also brought some dried meat and put it in her mouth to chew. The dish was neither too salty nor too bland, but the aroma of mutton was very strong.
Before him was a wooden frame barrier. Lu Wuyai lay on it. Although it was still dark, he could see a small part of the scene inside the container through the occasional light filtering through the bullet holes.
At this moment, two tigers lay across the barrier, one on the left and one on the right. They seemed very tired. For the time being, no one made a sound. Everything appeared remarkably harmonious and stable.
But the two humans dared not be careless at all. If they were not careful, they would not see the sun rise tomorrow.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the light through the bullet holes began to dim. Yang Jian and Song Xiaoyou both looked worried. If night fell and they were truly blind, they would be no match for the tiger.
Click it.
At this moment, Lu Wuyai tried to get down from the wooden frame barrier, but accidentally stepped on thin air, almost causing the wooden frame to collapse and burying him underneath.
After landing, Lu Wuyai let out a long breath, the cold sweat on his forehead clearly showing that he had been frightened.
Immediately afterward, an idea flashed through Lu Wuyai's mind: he thought of a way that might be able to kill the tiger.
“The barrier formed by the frame is not very strong.” Lu Wuyai squeezed his hand again and found that this temporary obstacle was far more fragile than he had imagined.
I went back and discussed it with Song Xiaoyou, and we decided to take the risk and give it a try. Otherwise, as time goes on, more variables will arise.
Soon, the two carefully climbed onto the wooden frame, found two relatively sturdy support points, and began to provoke the two tigers by throwing things at them.
Sure enough, less than a minute later, the tiger on the left roared first. The exciting sound, along with the fishy smell coming from the tiger's mouth, quickly spread throughout the entire private room.
"They're here!" Lu Wuyai shouted, reminding Song Xiaoyou to be wary of another big tiger.
The tiger on the left has started leaping among the obstacles, and some of the wooden frames have begun to tilt, but the bottom wooden frame is still relatively sturdy.
But as the tiger continued to climb, Lu Wuyai deliberately made a creaking sound as the wooden frame formed an obstacle. The sound grew louder and louder.
Finally, in the dim light, Lu Wuyai saw a tiger's paw gripping his eyes, and amidst the heavy breathing, the tiger's head was vaguely visible.
Lu Wuyai immediately drew his gun and fired, but the tiger's agility far exceeded his expectations, and the bullet missed again.
"It still won't work." Lu Wuyai sighed inwardly.
But now, this is just the beginning.
Just as the tiger successfully leaped to dodge the bullets and hadn't even had time to regain its footing, Lu Wuyai forcefully pushed the wooden frame, pushing the obstacle on top outwards.
it hurts.
At that moment, the tiger that had climbed up lost all support in mid-air, and its eyes looked particularly helpless as it fell toward the ground.
Although the entire wooden barrier is not high, less than four meters, life and death often happen in an instant.
In the dim light, Lu Wuyai stood on the collapsed wooden frame, raised his pistol, and fired a shot at the fallen tiger.
With a bang.
This time, the bullet whizzed through the air and struck the tiger's body squarely without incident. The tiger will eventually die from excessive blood loss due to ruptured internal organs.
With a bang.
The tiger fell to the ground, letting out a mournful cry, and then walked towards the iron gate, its body covered in blood. Finally, it lay motionless on the ground, barely alive.
As for the other tiger, after witnessing the gruesome death of its kind, it became even more sorrowful and furious. However, for a long time, it did not choose to attack. Instead, it hid in a blind spot behind a table to avoid danger.
"What a pity."
Lu Wuyai shook his head. He had originally intended to drag the dead tiger over to solve the food problem.
But now it seems that this idea has to be abandoned.
Because a live tiger was hiding on the only road, no one could guarantee that danger wouldn't suddenly strike.
"You take a rest first, and I'll put the fence back up." After Lu Wuyai finished speaking, he began to prop up part of the collapsed wooden frame.
Although this wooden barrier offers little defensive capability, it serves as a warning. Its collapse would signal that the remaining tigers would begin attacking them.
