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...
"I've been testing the effects of these stones lately. Anyway, we have nothing to lose. At worst, we'll just waste some medicinal herbs," Gu Yuxin said casually.
Everyone else nodded, but still felt they should be extra careful.
Lu Wuyai thought further. The last time the general was accidentally injured, his size increased by a quarter. If someone were to cut his skin, he wouldn't become a giant.
For safety reasons, everyone wore gloves when selecting stones to ensure their own safety.
So they tied some herbs and black stones together with rope and threw them directly onto the cement floor of the cave.
After a while, they even forgot about it.
Outside the cave, the weather was still one of continuous downpours.
At five o'clock, Lu Wuyai and Song Xiaoyou went out in the rain. Because the herb garden had collapsed, the traps set near the puddles had also disappeared, and they needed to reset them as soon as possible.
As soon as they came out, three furtive figures emerged from the pool. The two groups faced each other, and after a while, the rain seemed to stop.
Song Xiaoyou saw everything clearly. He squinted and noticed that the other person was taking something out of his pocket, so he quickly called out to Lu Wuyai.
Be careful.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Wuyai heard the sound of a trigger being pulled. He immediately lunged at Song Xiaoyou, and the two of them tumbled into the collapsed herb garden.
The hole wasn't deep. The moment Lu Wuyai stood up, he was already holding a gun and rushing forward at top speed.
At that moment, the booming gunshots still echoed under the rain.
Lu Wuyai stood on the rocky hill and noticed that the visitor had already left. He was carrying a bucket. He had clearly come to fetch water.
Rainwater isn't clean, and drinking it for a long time will cause problems, so these people come here to fetch water. But how did they know there was a pool of water here?
Lu Wuyai frowned. He wasn't worried that the other party could enter the stone mountain a second time, but the other party also had a gun, and seemed to be a survivor as well.
At this moment, Song Xiaoyou also came out, and the two of them prepared to rearrange the trap.
While walking on the rocky mountain, Lu Wuyai unexpectedly discovered the wreckage of a drone. He roughly deduced that the three people might have discovered this place using the drone, and that the collapse of the herb garden had triggered a nearby mechanism.
After working until dark, Lu Wuyai and Song Xiaoyou rearranged the traps near the herb garden and pond. Just then, the rain continued to fall, turning into a curtain of rain that covered the deserted island.
When he returned to the cave, the rich aroma of rice made Lu Wuyai swallow hard.
Meanwhile, Su Xi was roasting potatoes. The vegetable garden had recently yielded a bumper harvest. A large quantity of potatoes and sweet potatoes were piled up in the corner of the cave, which the women enjoyed as daily snacks.
In that case, it's hard not to gain weight.
But strangely enough, although there was a noticeable increase in weight, it seemed that none of the women gained weight. This made Lu Wuyai sigh inwardly, thinking that they were all growing where they were supposed to.
"It's time to eat," Gu Yuxin called out.
Busy people have already smelled the aroma of rice. Naturally, they will come over at this time, bowl in hand, enjoying the most relaxing moment of the day.
Lu Wuyai sprinkled chili powder on the potatoes, making them look especially tempting.
However, almost all the fresh meat in the cave was used as rations for the march, so the daily diet consisted of some vegetarian food.
There's no other way. It's summer now, and meat is hard to preserve. There's really no need to prepare too much fresh meat. Besides, they can only save the potatoes and sweet potatoes for autumn. Then, we can gradually prepare food for winter.
After dinner, everyone started tidying up and getting ready for bed.
It's still raining outside.
The next day, Lu Wuyai opened his eyes and found his ears unusually quiet. He listened intently to the outside world. The rain should have stopped.
So he picked up his weapon, left the tomb, and went into the forest.
Looking up at the hazy sky, although it wasn't raining, the weather was still not very good.
Lu Wuyai circled the basement but found no trace of other animals or humans, yet he remained vigilant.
He set several traps, intending to return at dusk, hoping to catch a few rabbits or deer if he was lucky.
Reaching the top of a high mountain, one can see a golden beach when the sun shines, but now all one can see is the distant sea and sky merging into one.
After looking around from the mountaintop, Lu Wuyai rubbed his eyes, wondering if he was seeing things.
Just now, it seemed that a few wisps of smoke were drifting out from the forest on the south side of the rocky mountain.
"Is someone living there, or am I seeing things?"
Lu Wuyai thought for a moment, then quickly left the mountaintop. He found the general wandering in the forest, so he led him in the direction he suspected was hallucinating.
Although he suspected it was a hallucination, Lu Wuyai felt it was necessary for him to make this trip.
His experience on the desert island this year taught him that any detail discovered could have implications. Especially yesterday, when someone had just broken a hole in the herb garden and encountered survivors coming to fetch water. One thing after another was happening, like a wake-up call.
Of course, you might make mistakes, but be careful so you don't make big ones. At most, you'll just waste time and energy.
Soon, half an hour later, a man and a dog stopped in the forest where smoke had just begun to rise.
But looking around and examining the traces on the ground, there were no clues.
"Are you sure you're not mistaken?" Thinking this, Lu Wuyai breathed a sigh of relief. Rather than admitting he had discovered something, he preferred to believe he had misjudged the situation.
But just as he was about to leave, the general suddenly ran over from a distance.
"All right."
Lu Wuyai noticed that the general seemed to have something in his mouth. As he approached, he discovered it was a piece of broken glass with bloodstains on it.
Can glass be found on a desert island?
The answer is obviously no. Judging from the general's demeanor, it seems that this is the direction he is heading.
Lu Wuyai stood there for a while, then quickly decided to go with the general to take a look.
Yesterday, the image of that woman's body was still vivid in my mind; I couldn't forget it.
But soon, he smelled gasoline in the air and became nervous.
Ten minutes later, he saw two plowed mountain roads with debris scattered all over the ground.
Just a few dozen meters away, two planes that had made an emergency landing lay quietly on the ground, a sight that evoked sighs of pity.
Lu Wuyai was not in a hurry to investigate the situation of the plane. Instead, he immediately took the general to the nearby forest to search for traces.
To his surprise, he discovered that there were absolutely no traces in the nearby forest. This meant only two things.
The first one, of course, is that everyone on the plane will die.
Secondly, the survivors on the plane had experience in wilderness survival, which concealed their tracks, so Lu Wuyai couldn't find any survivors for a while.
However, whatever the reason, it seems that the surrounding area should be safe now.
Lu Wuyai stood quietly in the forest for a while, calming down the somewhat agitated general, before walking toward the plane with his gun in hand.
"The probability of a plane crash is a bit too high," Lu Wuyai shook his head. There have been several plane accidents on this deserted island this year, but this is the first time two planes have crashed together.
As he approached the plane, Lu Wuyai suddenly felt dizzy for no apparent reason, which made him feel uneasy.
He touched his body and found that the protective suit he was wearing was slightly warm. This was the first time something like this had happened.
I remember when we first started wearing protective suits, Gu Yuxin said that once the clothes started to get hot, it meant that the external radiation would cause considerable harm to the human body.
If the high temperatures persist, even wearing protective suits may not be enough to protect them.
In winter, when radiation is strongest, protective suits never react like this, but now, there is such a strong radiation response on airplanes.
Lu Wuyai even doubted whether his clothes were damaged.
However, as he gradually left the plane, the heat inside the protective suit began to disappear, which made Lu Wuyai cautious.
So he decided to try another plane.
This time, as he approached the second plane, Lu Wuyai did not feel any unusual sensation from the protective suit, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
After circling the plane, Lu Wuyai realized it was a small aircraft with few people on board. It was likely that the plane had been traveling too fast during the emergency landing. The cockpit window shattered, and both pilots were dead.
Lu Wuyai entered the cockpit from the nose of the plane and carefully searched for clues. He found some documents inside, but they were all written in the English language, which he could not understand.
However, he still collected all of these things, wrapped them up, and carried them on his shoulder.
Lu Wuyai opened the hatch from the cockpit, immediately covered his nose, and turned around. The smell inside the cabin was truly awful.
After all, that's the smell of death.
Before Lu Wuyai even entered the cabin, he was already muttering that the people inside were in danger.
In a plane crash, many are destined to die. Those who survive can be said to be the chosen ones.
"The smell has almost dissipated. Let's go in and take a look."
Lu Wuyai checked his weapons again, holding a dagger in his hand, and hid in the cabin.
At this moment, the cabin was eerily quiet, like a mass grave filled with the corpses of passengers.
However, many windows on both sides were broken, and some seats were empty. I didn't know if they had escaped or if the seats were originally empty.
In addition, Lu Wuyai also discovered that this group of people were either rich or noble, and their clothes were very stylish.
An eight- or nine-year-old child was wearing a large gold chain and a children's watch worth over ten thousand yuan. At first glance, he was not an ordinary child.
As Lu Wuyai walked along, he felt a mix of surprise and uncertainty.
The group appeared to be fleeing, especially from the cargo hold, which was filled with supplies, mostly food.
Inside the cabin, there were also many things piled up in every gap under the seats.
"It seems the living conditions outside are really bad." Lu Wuyai searched for supplies and found them in most of the caves.
But soon, Lu Wuyai began to wonder where these dead people on the plane were going.
The world is so big, where is the safest place?
Finally, Lu Wuyai took a map and all the weapons.
Yes, there were many firearms in the cargo hold, and Lu Wuyai packed them all up and took them with him.
There wasn't a single living person in the cabin. Lu Wuyai couldn't help but sigh as he stepped off the plane.
As for the other plane, Lu Wuyai was not confident enough to go alone, so he had no choice but to take the general back to the cave for the time being.
By this time, the women had woken up and looked at Lu Wuyai, who had returned, with a large number of weapons behind him, their eyes filled with doubt.
Afterwards, Lu Wuyai recounted what had just happened, guessing that the woman from before had been thrown off the plane.
"Since there's a second plane, let's go take a look." Gu Yuxin opened her eyes wide, wanting to see the other American plane.
The people in the cabin were all blond and blue-eyed; they were from the same country as Gu Yuxin.
"However, there seems to be a lot of radiation on the plane." Lu Wuyai frowned. The slight heat from the protective suit made him feel a little palpitations.
"Is the temperature rising?" Gu Yuxin asked.
Lu Wuyai shook his head. The temperature hadn't risen, but he hadn't gotten very close to the plane. He didn't know what would happen next.
"Then let's go take a look. It's almost moldy during the rainy season."
After Gu Yuxin finished speaking, she quickly gained the support of the other women. However, for safety reasons, only Lu Wuyai and Song Xiaoyou were allowed to board the plane for the time being.
First, both Song Xiaoyou and Lu Wuyai consumed complete plant extracts. Second, Lu Wuyai's physique and Song Xiaoyou's eyesight allowed them to detect danger immediately.
Soon, the group left the cave, and it started to rain continuously outside.
The general spoke in a low voice in the forest ahead, leading them toward the crashed plane.
Half an hour later, in the woods next to the plane, several people were experiencing the unfamiliar sensation brought on by the radiation.
Wearing protective suits, Lu Wuyai and Song Xiaoyou exchanged a glance, nodded to each other, and began to approach the plane.
As it drew closer to the fuselage, the warmth began to become more pronounced.
Lu Wuyai stopped Song Xiaoyou and asked him if he wanted to get any closer.
"Let me think about it again," Song Xiaoyou said, pursing her lips.
Lu Wuyai took a breath, stood in front of Song Xiaoyou, and continued to approach the plane.
Finally, ten meters away, the warmth from the protective suit stopped rising and remained within a certain range.
The plane was parked in the forest; this plane was completely different from the previous one.
The fuselage was intact, but the cockpit was filled with water vapor, making it impossible to see what had happened.
Neither of the windows on either side was broken. If it weren't for the plows along the way, Gu Yuxin and the others would have thought it was a plane that had landed safely.
For safety reasons, Lu Wuyai decided to enter the cabin from the cockpit.
After expending a great deal of effort, Lu Wuyai broke the cockpit window, grabbed Song Xiaoyou's hand, and the two of them searched the cockpit for any possible information.
Unlike the previous flight, Lu Wuyai found several leather bags next to his seat. Upon opening them, he discovered some information inside.
"show me."
Song Xiaoyou took the paper, quickly glanced through it, and couldn't help but gasp.
Lu Wuyai asked curiously what was written on the paper.
"We'll talk when we get back. Let's go check the supplies in the cabin first."
Upon hearing this, Lu Wuyai did not hesitate and immediately opened the cabin door.
Suddenly, a stench of corpses, accompanied by a pressure difference, flowed directly into the driver's cab from the cab.
Lu Wuyai and Song Xiaoyou both held their breath and waited for more than ten seconds before entering the cabin.
The environment inside was very similar to the airplane Lu Wuyai had seen before. Perhaps it was due to the severe turbulence along the way, but there wasn't a single living person inside.
After Song Xiaoyou's examination, he found that most of the injuries were on the spine, which must have been caused by the strong pressure when landing.
"There was another pregnant woman." Before he died, Lu Wuyai saw a pregnant mother with her head tilted to the side, her hands clutching her belly. Clearly, this still couldn't change their fate.
Let's go.
Once inside the cabin, Lu Wuyai and Song Xiaoyou realized that a large portion of the plane's volume was cargo space.
To be precise, this is not a passenger plane, but an aircraft converted from a passenger plane.
Upon reaching the cargo hold, Lu Wuyai asked Song Xiaoyou to step back before opening the hatch.
The next second, Lu Wuyai took a step back, and countless pieces of luggage poured out of the cargo hold, crashing onto the corpses and startling them.
"Lots of rice."
Lu Wuyai and Song Xiaoyou were stunned when they saw the food in their luggage. Besides rice, there were also many potatoes and sweet potatoes. Overall, it was all food that could fill their stomachs.
Lu Wuyai said, "This is truly a form of escapism."
It looks like they'll have to drive to transport the food from now on. This amount of food is enough to sustain them for a long time.
"Yeah."
Suddenly, Song Xiaoyou sighed softly and said, "Lu Wuyai, have you noticed that the temperature of the protective suit is decreasing?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Wuyai realized that the warmth was gradually decreasing, and soon he could no longer feel that slight burning sensation.
"what happened."
Lu Wuyai was completely bewildered. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that he probably had this feeling after opening the cargo hold.
"Could the radiation source be coming from the cargo hold?"
With these questions in mind, Lu Wuyai immediately headed towards the cargo hold.
However, after some investigation, no other clues were found besides some burn marks.
"Never mind." Song Xiaoyou shook her head and urged him and the others to go into the cave and bring the car.
Lu Wuyai nodded, told the other women about the disappearance of radiation, and then left, taking Gu Yuxin and Su Xi with him.
Forty minutes later, Lu Wuyai and the others parked their car in front of the small house.
Soon, bags of rice began to be loaded onto the car, and in the blink of an eye, the trunk and seats were full.
Lu Wuyai looked at the remaining supplies and estimated that it would take more than a dozen trips back and forth.
But that's no problem. Compared to the hard work of finding food in the forest, this is already a very easy task.
So, on this day, everyone was shuttling back and forth between the plane and the cave until all the supplies in the cargo hold were emptied.
On the last trip, Lu Wuyai looked at the plane and suddenly had an idea: to see if he could start the plane.
"You think you're making a movie?" Yu Mengrou couldn't help but complain, and told Lu Wuyai that they had tried before, but it had no effect at all.
Hearing this answer, Lu Wuyai couldn't help but feel a little frustrated. To be honest, he still longed to return to his hometown and that place.
As if sensing Lu Wuyai's thoughts, Yu Mengrou took a breath, stood beside him, and gently took his arm with her right hand.
