When I finally reached the beach, I couldn't find a single fish.

“Let’s wait until the tide goes out,” Lu Wuyai said, but he quickly shook his head. If he waited until the tide went out, he might not be able to get back to the cave tonight.

Spending the night outdoors this winter is undoubtedly like lambs to the slaughter.

"Forget it, let's go back."

Before Lu Wuyai could finish speaking, the women had already started packing their things. This trip to the seaside had ultimately been a wasted trip.

As he left, Lu Wuyai glanced at the beach one last time. In his dazed state, the sea seemed to be rippling again.

"Hey, why is the tide going out at this time?"

Lu Wuyai watched the tide recede, then checked the time. The tide should be flowing out by now.

Moreover, the seawater receded at an extremely rapid pace.

"Wrong." Lu Wuyai suddenly thought of a possibility: "Could it be a tsunami?"

The sudden situation on the beach also drew the attention of others. The rapidly receding tide caused a strong sense of unease among them.

"Go quickly."

Lu Wuyai shouted in a panic, immediately ordering everyone to run at all costs. Every tsunami is a disaster for people on the coast, let alone when they are on a deserted island.

At this moment, gazing at the vast line on the horizon, Lu Wuyai and the others could imagine that if this really was a tsunami, they might not even have time to run back to the cave.

"Run with all your might, don't stop."

After leaving the beach, everyone ran with all their might. Lu Wuyai was at the back. He kept looking back at the beach, but because they were moving so fast into the forest, the view from the beach was completely obscured.

"Maybe it's not a tsunami." Morloy was panting heavily, unable to run any further.

Lu Wuyai shook his head, pushed her forward, and ordered her to speed up, or he would leave her alone in the forest.

"Whether it's a tsunami or not, we must prepare for the worst."

At this moment, Kim Hee-rok also spoke up, telling her directly that this was very likely a tsunami.

Before winter arrived, an earthquake struck the deserted island. It happened at night, and almost everyone in the team was buried alive.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the foot of a mountain, rested for a while, and allowed their aching bodies to recover.

Lu Wuyai arrived at the mountainside and looked out towards the sea. Using binoculars, he could clearly see the beach.

Although nothing has happened yet, this does not bring Lu Wuyai any relief. At this moment, the quieter the seaside is, the greater the tsunami is expected to be in the future.

After a two-minute break, the group continued.

Before we returned to the cave, there was nothing unusual about the deserted island.

"How about venturing deeper into the deserted island?" Tang Xin asked. "Go towards the treacherous peaks. Or the caves over there."

Compared to here, those treacherous peaks are naturally deeper into the deserted island, but it takes more than an hour to get there from here, even though the journey is faster.

During this period, if a massive tsunami occurs, they may be swept away by the seawater while walking in the forest.

The key point is that the tsunami was formed by an undersea earthquake, and the deserted island was unlikely to be spared.

Just as everyone was about to enter the cave, a noticeable tremor caused a change in everyone's expression.

"There was an earthquake."

A flock of startled birds flew out of the forest, their cries more shrill than usual.

Then, another trembling sensation arose, even more distant than before. Yang Jian and the others were temporarily unable to enter the cave, fearing that what had happened during the last burial would repeat itself.

This impact is clearly more prolonged.

After feeling the earthquake, Lu Wuyai climbed the rocky hill and looked up at the sky. There was a white horizon, but he couldn't tell what it was.

Lu Wuyai came down from the rocky mountain and told everyone to bury all the supplies separately. Even if the cave was overturned by then, some supplies would still provide them with the necessities for survival during the cold winter.

So, they went into the cave, separated the various materials of different sizes using sheepskin, and then found some relatively easy-to-identify locations in the forest, dug holes, and buried them directly.

After doing all this, another fifteen minutes passed.

At this moment, inside the cave, Lu Wuyai carried a generator on his chest and two neatly folded baskets on his back, filled with food supplies.

When he emerged from the cave, a familiar fishy smell seemed to linger in the air.

Lu Wuyai looked towards the direction of the stone mountain and heard a clear roar.

After thinking for a moment, he quickly ran up the rocky hill and discovered that on the opposite side of the hill, in the forest, the seawater was spreading at a terrifying speed visible to the naked eye.

The next second, white waves crashed against the rocky mountain. Lu Wuyai hurriedly retreated, his legs giving way from the fear in his heart.

He returned to the cave entrance, took his things, and went straight inside.

At the same time, he blocked the entrance and shouted, "The water is rising. Also, block the vents."

"So fast."

The others looked at each other in bewilderment. They had walked for two hours from the beach. They hadn't expected the seawater to have washed up here.

There was no time to think too much, because seawater had already started flowing out of those vents at an astonishing speed.

Upon arriving at the site, Song Xiaoyou and the others immediately began making cement, which they used to directly block several ventilation openings.

The hole in the ground was covered with cement, but the toilet corridor was still muddy, and the air couldn't be expelled quickly.

With a bang.

A violent crashing sound came from the cave entrance; Lu Wuyai could imagine it was the sound of seawater crashing against the rocks.

A rumbling sound.

The seawater rolled over the rocky mountain, making a low, thunderous sound, and the cave shook slightly for a while.

Everyone leaned against the surrounding concrete walls, their tension growing stronger, and fear beginning to grip them.

"Call up."

He was panting heavily, and death seemed imminent.

Suddenly, a loud and continuous sound came from outside the cave, as if something had passed by the rocky mountain and caused terrible damage.

yes.

Anna suddenly grabbed her hair, as if she had been provoked, and her emotions became very unstable.

Su Xi and Jin Xilu quickly restrained Anna's arms and comforted her, finally calming her down.

Lu Wuyai glanced at the other person and felt that the seawater was still crashing towards the cave entrance.

Will this tsunami submerge this deserted island?

After venting her anger, Anna finally calmed down.

However, the environment inside the cave remained very unstable. After several earthquakes, cracks finally appeared on the cement surface.

What followed was sediment falling from the cracks, carrying the smell of seawater.

"I'll go get the cement," Lu Wuyai said softly, looking at Song Xiaoyou.

Inside the cave, some people were so exhausted they fell asleep, like Tang Xin and Moloy. Their nerves were extremely tense, which brought them fatigue and exhaustion.

Lu Wuyai walked alone to the toilet door. There was some dry cement on the ground, which was temporarily mixed to block the vent.

After making some mud, pouring in powder, and mixing it, Yang Jian wrapped some cement in the fragments and refilled the gaps.

The soil inside the cave will stop dripping water for the time being. Lu Wuyai returned to his original spot and continued to monitor the changes in the outside world.

He pressed his ear against the cement. Although he couldn't hear clearly, the occasional sound of flowing water indicated that there was still a rushing stream on the rocky hill.

For the next two hours, Lu Wuyai tried to push aside the wooden planks at the entrance of the cave, but found that the planks were very heavy.

"Don't open it yet," Song Xiaoyou said, suggesting that Lu Wuyai wait a while.

Even after the tsunami recedes, it will likely take most of a day for the water to recede. If you open the planks now, it may be difficult to close them again once seawater flows in.

Lu Wuyai nodded, temporarily abandoning his plan to leave the cave.

"There shouldn't be any more earthquakes, so get some rest," Song Xiaoyou said again.

They had been inside the cave for a full four hours. Everyone except Lu Wuyai and Song Xiaoyou was asleep.

Perhaps because the ground is covered by seawater, the temperature inside the cave remains within a suitable range.

Before falling asleep, Lu Wuyai thought that perhaps when the cave started to get cold, it meant that the seawater had receded.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but when Lu Wuyai opened his eyes again, he found that it was already six o'clock the next day.

The old year has become a thing of the past in this tsunami.

On the first day of the new year, they were also trapped in a cave by the tsunami.

Lu Wuyai noticed many small cracks in the nearby cement wall, indicating that the earthquake was still affecting the area while he was sleeping.

Everyone else was asleep. Lu Wuyai got up and walked towards the cave entrance. He pushed the wooden plank and found that the pressure was a little less than before he went to sleep.

When he tried to open it, a stream of seawater poured out through the crack, startling Lu Wuyai.

He immediately closed the board, but the noise still woke up some people.

Tang Xin rubbed her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw it was Lu Wuyai.

"What's wrong."

Lu Wuyai said, "It's nothing, you can sleep a little longer, there's still seawater outside."

After thinking for a moment, Lu Wuyai walked up to Su Xi and pulled her into his arms. An Lushan's claws began to penetrate her clothes, which angered the beautiful woman.

But perhaps because she was too tired, Su Xi fell asleep again with a smile.

Lu Wuyai held her in his arms, his thoughts drifting to a very, very far place.

As time passed, the temperature inside the cave began to drop, and Lu Wuyai realized that the seawater covering the rocky mountain might have receded.

After waking Tang Xin, Lu Wuyai got up and walked towards the cave. He pushed the three layers of wooden planks on top and found that the pressure was still there, but once he opened a crack, the seawater disappeared.

At this moment, the others in the cave also woke up and noticed the changes in time and temperature. They immediately understood.

"The water's gone, but this plank is too heavy."

Lu Wuyai frowned, used his hand to pull his head to one side, and saw through the gap that a large stone was pressing on the wooden board.

"Get out of my way, all of you," Lu Wuyai said to the woman behind him.

Then, he pushed aside the wooden plank and bent down, and palm-sized pebbles rolled directly into the cave like an avalanche.

Ten seconds later, Lu Wuyai looked at the cave entrance and found that there were piles of stones all around it.

"Is this a move?" Anna's eyes widened. She had been in the forest before, but now it felt like she was underground in a rocky mountain.

Lu Wuyai said, "Let's go out and take a look."

After a while, the group of six stood on the ground, looking at the cave entrance beneath their feet, surrounded by stones of all sizes.

The rocky mountain is still the same rocky mountain, but its area has expanded countless times. The nearest forest is hundreds of meters away from the cave.

Most importantly, the former stream has now become a pool, with trickling water flowing through the cracks in the rocks, having nowhere else to go.

Compared to before, swimming pools are now much more secluded.

The rocky hills have also multiplied into three, each tens of meters high. They resemble a peculiar art style.

Lu Wuyai led them up the rocky mountain and looked around at the scenery.

Everyone was stunned when they saw it.

Originally, the cave was several hours away from the beach, but now, standing on the rocky hill and looking out, the sea is right on the horizon, with a visual distance of only half an hour.

"You won't have to walk so far to the beach anymore." Lu Wuyai smiled, at the same time awestruck by the power of nature.

Yesterday's tsunami destroyed everything in its path, even majestic trees. They were gone in less than a day.

It was bare, with only soil remaining, and occasionally some marine life could be seen, with a strong smell of the sea permeating the air.

In addition, some dark things can be vaguely seen in the direction of the sea.

“That’s an island,” Song Xiaoyou said in surprise, holding a pair of binoculars.

islands

Lu Wuyai found it hard to believe, but he still took the scope from Song Xiaoyou. He actually saw some small islands scattered in the sky, dark in color, but shining with a special light in the sunlight.

"Could this island be caused by an underwater volcano?" Lu Wuyai thought of this possibility.

Su Xi and the others standing nearby became anxious: "Don't worry about that now, let's go find supplies."

At this moment, Lu Wuyai remembered that in order to prevent the cave from being buried, some supplies had been placed in other places nearby.

Now, I don't know if it's still there.

So everyone took out their tools from the cave and rushed to the place they remembered.

Unfortunately, the structure in many places has changed, and many areas are covered by rocks from the mountain, making excavation very difficult.

The only saving grace was that when they were burying supplies, they kept most of the food in their own baskets, so the temporary lack of supplies would not endanger their lives.

Of course, the excavation work cannot stop. Recovering as much material as possible is naturally the best outcome.

It makes a clanging sound.

Suddenly, a cry of an eagle rang out in the sky, and all the people who were digging stopped abruptly, looking around with suspicion.

"Falcon, what are you yelling for?"

Lu Wuyai looked around in confusion. Because of the tsunami, the surrounding scenery was completely unobstructed. There were absolutely no obstacles. The environment within a one-kilometer radius was completely free of any obstructions.

But everyone clearly saw nothing, yet greed gave them a brief warning.

After the warning had been in effect for some time, the falcon suddenly swooped down, moving as fast as a cannonball.

The moment he touched the ground, Lu Wuyai saw a muddy area in front of him, and a gray mud ball rushed towards the white, greedy mouth.

"What's wrong."

"It's a monitor lizard."

Everyone exclaimed in surprise and rushed forward.

“No!” Su Xi shouted, “Don’t go there! There are lots of monitor lizards there.”

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately stopped. Lu Wuyai looked closely and indeed, there were many monitor lizards perched on the mud soaked by seawater. Their bodies were covered in slightly blackish mud. If you didn't look closely, they were truly enormous. It was difficult to distinguish them from their surroundings.

It makes a clanging sound.

Ahead, Greed and the others were already battling these enormous lizards. The scene was breathtaking.

Upon arriving at the cave, Song Xiaoyou took Anna back to the cave. When he came out, the basket on his back was full of crossbows and crossbow bolts.

Guns can kill these slow-moving monitor lizards, but the sound of gunfire is too likely to scare them.

Therefore, the crossbow was the preferred weapon.

Lu Wuyai quickly took out his bow, placed the arrow on the bowstring, pressed the switch, and the arrow shot out from the air.

Two muffled thuds followed, and a huge lizard was shot directly in the head.

Seeing Lu Wuyai's success, the other women also became eager to try. They took out crossbows to help Greed and the others deal with these cold-blooded creatures that were good at hiding.

At first glance, the sheer number of monitor lizards is astonishing. On the land opposite the rocky hill, there is a monitor lizard crouching every half meter.

After killing several monitor lizards in succession, the monitor lizards seemed to come to their senses and walked towards Lu Wuyai, who was closest to them, walking on all fours with an indescribable comical expression.

But Lu Wuyai's expression was solemn; these giant lizards were running very fast.

He quickly put down the crossbow, took an axe from the basket on his back, and chopped at the head of a huge lizard.

Although the monitor lizard's speed exceeded Lu Wuyai's expectations, humans' reaction speed was naturally faster in comparison.

The axe blade struck the giant lizard's neck, and a foul-smelling spray of blood splattered everywhere.

Immediately afterward, Lu Wuyai turned around, releasing his grip on the axe with his right hand. With a slight flick of his arm, an arrow tucked into his sleeve pierced the air and landed directly in the bloody mouth of another giant lizard.

At the same time, Lu Wuyai used his free left hand to pull the axe from the huge lizard carcass on the left, and then threw it forward with all his might.

The bloodied axe blade lay on the ground. Lu Wuyai's charge had instantly killed three giant lizards, making the eyes of the five women beside him gleam.

Lu Wuyai picked up the axe from the ground again, squatted down, and continued to pose as if he was about to attack.

But perhaps because their companions had died so quickly, the remaining monitor lizards did not choose to attack. After a brief pause, they actually walked deeper into the deserted island. Their movements appeared extremely leisurely.

There, greed and the others killed two enormous lizards. They were now gutting them, eating the entrails of the giant lizards, their beaks stained with blood.

“These monitor lizards stink,” Anna said, pinching her nose with disgust.

Originally, Lu Wuyai wanted to skin the monitor lizard, but in reality, the monitor lizard smelled terrible, and the falcon only ate some of its internal organs.

There seems to be something over there.

Under the sunlight, everyone looked in the direction Jin Xilu was pointing.

Because the island was ravaged by a tsunami, most of the area around the rocky mountain is flat, but occasionally you can still see some piles of broken wood.
