Lu Wuyai told Gu Yuxin about this situation privately. Gu Yuxin said that the two wild horses were not caused by radiation, but were likely caused by some kind of highly contagious virus.

"Anyway, be careful. I haven't seen those experimental humans lately," Morley said with some concern. He hadn't heard from them since the last time he saw them in the winter.

For several days in a row, Lu Wuyai took walks in that valley every day. Whenever he had the chance, he would get some red flower roots and plant them in the woods by the rocky hillside.

Perhaps due to the plant's unique characteristics, the rhizomes quickly began to sprout new branches at an astonishing rate.

This change made Lu Wuyai particularly active.

Half a month later, on the last day of April, Lu Wuyai looked at the neat rows of plants by the rocky hillside. They were already more than half a person tall, and their mouths were almost split to their earlobes.

However, these plants are still very small, and their true power has yet to be fully realized.

In the blink of an eye, it's already May.

Unbeknownst to them, Lu Wuyai and the others had been on the deserted island for almost a year.

On this day, Lu Wuyai planted his own large grain flowers.

The large edible flowers were red flowers that used to bloom in the valley. Lu Wuyai gave them a name he liked.

While obtaining the rhizomes of the giant flower, Lu Wuyai also discovered that the soil of these carnivorous plants was filled with digested white bones.

So, Lu Wuyai began using animal carcasses to cultivate these future guardians of the stone mountain.

After observing it for some time, Lu Wuyai also discovered that the giant edible flower has almost no natural enemies. Its red and black spots seem to act as a deterrent to almost any animal. Even generals and marshals wouldn't easily venture inside. These are large, immature edible flowers.

At noon, the seven people in the cave set off together for the vegetable garden.

Many of the vegetables planted earlier have been harvested, especially those small green meadows. Vegetable soup was served almost every evening during this period.

The potatoes and sweet potatoes have been growing vigorously for over a month. The temperature on the deserted island is perfect. After winter, there's almost no spring chill, and the temperature gets warmer day by day.

Upon arriving at the vegetable garden, everyone got busy again. Due to the lack of pesticides, they often had to pick out the insects by hand.

"These cherry tomatoes are growing very well," Lu Wuyai exclaimed in amazement as he looked at the seedlings growing on the ground.

But in the end, Su Xi told her that this thing was not a cherry tomato at all, but a loofah.

“Go do your thing, don’t cause trouble here,” Kim Seok-rok said with disgust.

Lu Wuyai smiled awkwardly, walked to the foot of the mountain, and began to deal with the newly grown weeds in the vegetable garden.

During this time, Song Xiaoyou and Gu Yuxin wandered in the forest near the foot of the mountain, carrying a bamboo basket on their backs.

It is springtime, everything is coming back to life, and the forest is full of fresh herbs. Song Xiaoyou and others are preparing to transplant some as research materials.

In the forest, Gu Yuxin looked at the woman beside her who was bending over to pick herbs and said, "The equipment in the container laboratory is the most advanced of this era. The computer has the information. It's not difficult to replicate that kind of herbal medicine."

Upon hearing this, Song Xiaoyou looked up at Gu Yuxin and said, "I know, you told me that, which is why I wanted to give it a try."

“Okay, you can help me then, and I’ll do the experiment.” Gu Yuxin said, “But even if it works, the effects on the human body will actually be slow. Of course, compared to some supplements, the effects will be quite obvious.”

"If it can really be produced, everyone's physical fitness will be greatly improved."

In fact, the most troublesome part of that type of herbal medicine is the entire development process. Gu Yuxin remembers that the LG Technology Alliance spent ten years finalizing the formula. During this period, it also invited countless experts and researchers to participate.

Ironically, when this drug was finally developed, it was used to extend the lifespan of experimental subjects, and it wasn't even a purely herbal medicine.

Gu Yuxin has an excellent memory for recipes; she can almost never forget them after just one photograph.

However, Gu Yuxin had never studied medicinal herbs. She only knew their names. As for what those herbs looked like, she knew almost nothing.

That's why she followed Song Xiaoyou to learn about various medicinal herbs in the forest.

And so, while everyone was busy, the sky gradually became gloomy.

On the hillside, Lu Wuyai glanced at the sky and saw dark clouds rolling in, the sky pressing low, a sign of heavy rain.

"No, it's going to rain heavily," Lu Wuyai said, taking a breath.

“Let’s go back into the cave to get the rain curtain,” Su Xi said.

The rain is too heavy. If it were used to water the vegetable garden, there would probably be nothing left after this downpour.

Soon, the group left the vegetable garden and reached the cave as quickly as possible. Then, they grabbed their tools and rushed up the gentle slope.

As a result, a heavy rain fell from the sky and covered the deserted island.

Fortunately, once they arrived at the grassland, no one cared about getting wet in the rain. They took out a lot of sticks from the tree trunks and began to set up a rain curtain, similar to a greenhouse, on the vegetable patch, according to their previously agreed plan.

After working back and forth for more than half an hour, everyone protected some newly sprouted saplings.

At this moment, everyone's clothes were soaked.

In the rain, everyone sat on the ground, listening to the fierce storm outside, taking long breaths.

Lu Wuyai swallowed hard and glanced at the clothes of several women nearby. Their figures were completely exposed against the backdrop of the rain.

"Lu Wuyai, turn around," Su Xi said angrily.

As a result, the women looked at their clothes and immediately understood what Su Xi meant, and quickly covered themselves with their hands.

But the more instances of this occurred, the more mysterious and attractive it became to Lu Wuyai.

Lu Wuyai stared at Jin Xilu beside him. Because he had been standing quite close, he could clearly see her taut figure, which appeared extremely swollen under her wet shirt.

Unfortunately, after Su Xi finished speaking, the women all kept their distance from Lu Wuyai.

"Let's go back," Lu Wuyai patted himself. The rain had already fallen. There was no need to stay here.

Soon, the seven people drove towards the rocky mountain in the heavy rain.

As a result, a car's tire got stuck in the mud halfway through the road, and Lu Wuyai had to get out of the car to find a solution.

"Get out and push it." Lu Wuyai patted the car door, signaling the other women to get out temporarily. Only Su Xi remained in the driver's seat.

Soon, the six people came to the back of the car and sucked the milk with all their might.

Lu Wuyai thought of something, so he put several large stones under the tires and then drove the car out of the mud pit.

When we returned to the cave, everyone except Lu Wuyai was exhausted.

The sound of running water could be heard constantly coming from the small cubicle. The women had filled their water containers and were washing away the mud and grime from their bodies.

As for Lu Wuyai, he had already washed himself thoroughly in the pool. After all, he was a man, unlike women who required so much effort.

But as he sat inside the container, he could hear water dripping from the holes in his ears—a particularly enticing signal.

The sight of six women bathing is a temptation for any man.

Fortunately, the continuous sound of water soon stopped, and Lu Wuyai began to calm his impatient heart. He lay on the bed, quietly listening to the sounds of wind and rain outside.

At night, everyone sat on the ground outside the cubicle. Everyone was dressed in cool clothes, and the indoor temperature wasn't cold. To be precise, the environment inside the cave was always more suitable than the outside world.

When Lu Wuyai arrived, Song Xiaoyou and Gu Yuxin were discussing the extraction of the medicine, seemingly preparing to go to the container base to bring back some equipment.

But Lu Wuyai remembered that they had destroyed all the computer equipment back then.

Gu Yuxin said, "Don't worry, there's a place you absolutely don't know about and have never been to."

Upon hearing this, Lu Wuyai immediately became curious and asked where this was.

“At the heart of the container lab. You haven’t been there.” Gu Yuxin raised her eyebrows.

It was only then that Lu Wuyai realized that the center of those container laboratories was indeed a place that was easily overlooked.

If Gu Yuxin hadn't brought it up, he and the others wouldn't have even thought about it.

"What's there?" Su Xi asked.

"It's nothing. It's just a used machine I used before. Because it was difficult to dispose of, I just threw it in."

"Are you sure it's not broken?" Lu Jian frowned.

"It won't break. LG has special methods for handling these things."

"Don't worry, these machines aren't useless, they've just been used for too long. They're just being temporarily recycled to ensure the accuracy of the chemical tests."

Lu Wuyai listened thoughtfully, while the others remained silent. Some felt it was unnecessary to extract medicinal plants.

After all, there are plenty of medicines in the containers now, and the food and drinks are quite good too.

More importantly, they felt that going to the container laboratory was too dangerous, because if Baoqi was not safe, he might encounter human test subjects who had escaped from who-knows-where.

“Let’s take a look with a drone tomorrow,” Lu Wuyai said.

Early the next morning, Lu Wuyai drove away, leaving only Gu Yuxin with him besides the general.

Although there were fewer people, both men had guns and vehicles, so escaping wouldn't be a problem.

This time, however, it was only to check whether there were any human subjects inside and around the container laboratory.

Soon, the car stopped in a dense forest.

Then, Lu Wuyai opened the sunroof of the SUV and took out the drone. After debugging it, he piloted the drone towards the container laboratory across the street.

It was probably springtime that brought flowers and made the forest vegetation denser than in autumn, which greatly hindered the drone's exploration work.

There were too many branches. Before even getting close to the container base, Lu Wuyai had to stop, fly the drone high in the air, and try to enter the laboratory from different angles.

Lu Wuyai flew until the battery ran out but still couldn't reach the laboratory, let alone see any human subjects.

“I can’t get in.” Lu Wuyai sighed and took the drone back from the roof of the car.

Gu Yuxin was speechless. Who would have thought that these trees were the very thing blocking their way?

After thinking for a while, Lu Wuyai realized that he couldn't leave empty-handed, so he got out of the car, took his guns and ammunition, and left alone.

“I’m going too,” Morroy said.

Lu Wuyai shook his head, closed the car door, and told her to wait for news in the car. There were too many people, and it was very inconvenient.

"Then bring the general along."

Lu Wuyai initially wanted to refuse, but seeing Gu Yuxin's insistence, he nodded in agreement.

Given the general's stature, it's likely that all attention would be focused on him the moment he appeared.

"Let's go. Stay in the car and don't get out or go anywhere else." Finally, Lu Wuyai looked at the nearby treetops and reminded Gu Yuxin to be careful of the man-eating monkeys.

"I know, please leave." Molloy waved her hand, sensing that Lu Wuyai was somewhat annoyed.

Lu Wuyai shook his head, looked at the dense forest, and walked towards it.

Soon, the surrounding light dimmed, and Lu Wuyai discovered that the forest was much denser than he had seen through the drone.

“No wonder the drones can’t get through here.” Lu Wuyai pondered for a moment, then continued walking with the general toward the container laboratory.

The woods were quiet along the way, and Lu Wuyai didn't walk very fast, so he was very careful.

As for the general, after entering the forest, he always walked ahead of Lu Wuyai, using his body to block any potential dangers.

“You don’t have to do that.” Lu Wuyai patted the sheepdog, which was almost as tall as him. He didn’t know if the dog could understand him.

However, looking at the general's eyes when he turned around, Lu Wuyai thought to himself that the other party should understand what he meant.

Soon, a person and a dog will be able to see the container hidden by the branches.

There should have been some traps nearby at this time of year.

Call it out.

The sound of ropes moving came from the grass, but this time, Lu Wuyai had already heard it. Leading the general, he leaned back to one side, his whole body tense like a fully drawn bowstring, ready for the danger that might appear at any moment.

But after waiting for a long time, Lu Wuyai still couldn't see any danger, which made him mutter to himself.

So quickly, Lu Wuyai continued walking forward until he reached the container, and nothing unexpected happened.

“Alright.” Lu Wuyai sighed, looking at the rusty container in front of him. The card reader on it was still working.

Lu Wuyai swiped his card and opened the door. The rusty sound of the metal made the quiet forest seem even more vast.

Upon closer inspection, there was no sign of anyone inside the container, and it was very clean, indicating that it was very well sealed.

After touring the base, Lu Wuyai discovered that 90% of the traps had become ineffective due to years of neglect.

At this point, Lu Wuyai was certain that the previous human test subjects had likely abandoned this place and found other safe locations.

"Go find Gu Yuxin." Lu Wuyai patted the general and pointed in the direction of the SUV.

The sheepdog rubbed his body, then turned and disappeared into the forest.

Ten minutes later, two people and a dog entered a box. Reaching the end, Gu Yuxin felt around and pulled out an iron chain from the corner of the room.

Under the pull, the iron gate at the end slowly opened inward.

Soon, the stench of rotting soil filled the air.

"It smells so good." Lu Wuyai frowned. In the light of the flashlight, he saw huge blue boxes stacked together. They looked extremely heavy.

Gu Yuxin walked in and paused for a few seconds in front of each box. Lu Wuyai noticed that she was carefully examining a white label on the box, which had a time and some special symbols on it.

Soon, Gu Yuxin pointed to several boxes and asked Lu Wuyai to carry them back into the cave.

“This is heavy enough,” Lu Wuyai said, each box weighing at least 100 kilograms. After moving them back and forth seven times, all the necessary items were placed in a clearing outside the forest.

There were too many boxes; the car obviously couldn't fit them all in one go.

"There are two more." Lu Wuyai frowned; he didn't want things to continue like this.

Gu Yuxin pointed at the general and said, "Let it try."

So, on the way back, a huge sheepdog carrying two enormous plastic boxes followed closely behind an SUV.

Lu Wuyai glanced at the general in the rearview mirror and breathed a sigh of relief when he realized that he did not feel any discomfort.

“Tell me, can we sit on the general’s corpse?” Gu Yuxin suddenly asked.

Imagining the magnificent scene of riding a black dog, it has to be said that Gu Yuxin's words successfully piqued Lu Wuyai's interest.

Mountains—that's what Lu Wuyai thought of.

The thought of taking the General with me on a trip to a deserted island in the future seems wonderful.

Seeing Lu Wuyai's inexplicable smile in the car, Mo Luoyi rolled her eyes and told him to drive carefully.

Because the boxes were too big, they didn't return to the rocky hill. Instead, they parked the car in the forest near the cave entrance and began unloading.

“Throw away the box, and we’ll bring the machine in,” Gu Yuxin said.

Lu Wuyai nodded and began to unpack the plastic box.

Perhaps because of the machines' rarity, LG Technology Alliance preserved them intact, even though they were considered "scrap."

This also resulted in Lu Wuyai having no connection with these boxes for a period of time.

"This is too powerful." Lu Wuyai gasped for breath, looking at the tortoise shell in front of him, marveling that even bullets couldn't penetrate it.

That's right, these seemingly plastic boxes can even protect against bullets.

Moro stood to the side, watching Lu Wuyai, who was covered in sweat, a smile playing on his lips.

Gu Yuxin didn't know how to open the box. These materials were extremely stable and were even used in some explosion-proof projects in certain countries.

"Can you do it?" Gu Yuxin was still joking.

Lu Wuyai, panting, said, "It's easy to talk when you're not the one suffering. Try it yourself."

After another failed attempt to open the lid, Lu Wuyai, not wanting to go through the trouble any longer, returned to the cave and retrieved some specialized tools.

When Lu Wuyai came out of the cave, there were other people following him.

Su Xi and the others were also very interested in these machines.

"It's useless." Gu Yuxin watched as Lu Wuyai etched the plastic box with concentrated sulfuric acid and directly denied it.

"This won't work either."

In a fit of anger, Lu Wuyai threw away all the tools he was holding. This plastic box was harder than a tortoise shell.

“Tell me what to do,” Lu Wuyai said speechlessly.

Gu Yuxin blinked, opened the cellar entrance, and went inside. When she came out, she was holding a bottle of kerosene.

“You’re telling me kerosene can power this car?” Lu Wuyai rolled his eyes.
