Looking at these dead trees, Lu Wuyai always felt uneasy, which was largely due to the surrounding environment.

Later that evening, Han Shuyi suddenly knocked on the car door again.

"What's wrong?" Lu Wuyai asked, a hint of wariness in his eyes.

Gu Yuxin blushed and said, "My aunt came, and I just went to the toilet in the woods."

Upon hearing this, Lu Wuyai immediately understood. It turned out that Han Shuyi was afraid that her blood would attract some wild animals, so she had specifically explained the situation to him, which made Lu Wuyai feel a little embarrassed.

"Auntie, did you wear a scarf?"

"Yes, I brought it." Gu Yuxin paused, then added, "It's been revised."

"Go and rest first. I'm here, you'll be fine." Lu Wuyai noticed that Han Shuyi was holding her stomach and guessed that her aunt was probably in pain.

He poured a cup of hot water into the glass bottle and handed it to Gu Yuxin so she could hold her stomach and at least ease the pain.

"Lu Wuyai, thank you," Han Shuyi said earnestly, then walked towards the tent.

Lu Wuyai opened the car door, got out, and watched Han Shuyi's departing figure. Her beautiful figure and tight-fitting short skirt perfectly showcased her curves.

Just as the mountain wind blew by, a faint smell of blood lingered in the air.

"cocaine"

Lu Wuyai opened the cargo compartment of the small truck, took out some animal traps, and prepared to set them outside the tent.

As a result, a tent opened from the inside, and Lu Wuyai saw that it was Han Shuyi again.

"Are you setting a trap?" Han Shuyi asked, looking at the tools in Lu Wuyai's hand. "I'm here to help you; I can't sleep."

Lu Wuyai hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded in agreement.

Soon, the two men set traps around the tent. Ten minutes later, they were finished.

"Don't come out, just rest properly." Lu Wuyai told Han Shuyi to go back into the tent.

"Then be careful. I... I didn't mean to." Gu Yuxin lowered her head and actually apologized to Lu Wuyai.

Upon hearing this voice, Lu Wuyai clearly doubted his own hearing. If he had made Han Shuyi apologize, he might as well have just killed her.

"This woman does seem to have changed a lot," Lu Wuyai thought to himself.

Before leaving the canyon, Lu Wuyai and the others carefully checked everything to make sure nothing was missing before driving away.

“I probably won’t come here as often in the future,” Lu Wuyai said. After all, he had been traveling back and forth for a month and was quite familiar with every plant and tree in the canyon.

Conversely, Gu Yuxin and the others did not make any notes when deciding to leave the canyon. Every time they transported supplies, they were eager to leave immediately.

The canyon only brought them blood and corpses, and they fervently hoped that the treacherous peaks could become their next home.

That evening, Lu Wuyai and the others drove and finally arrived safely at the dangerous peak.

At this moment, the precipitous peak did not quiet down with the arrival of night. In the passageway below the peak, the women were still awake, and an electric light continued to shine and generate heat from the generator.

Gu Yuxin is instructing the women on how to build a cement roof. They are preparing to provide a rain and sun barrier for the space in the passageway.

Summer has arrived, and the intensity of the rain and sunshine continues to increase. This week alone, there have been three consecutive days of heavy rain.

Fortunately, they listened to Lu Wuyai's advice and laid cement on the ground beforehand, so this awkward situation wouldn't have happened.

"Gu Yuxin." Lu Wuyai's voice rang out from outside the passage.

Gu Yuxin put down the shovel in his hand and went outside. He found five vehicles parked at the foot of the slope, loaded with supplies.

Lu Wuyai took a bag from the carriage and handed it to Gu Yuxin. Inside were some seeds.

"Thanks." Gu Yuxin looked at Lu Wuyai gratefully. With these things, they could have more to look forward to in the future.

Lu Wuyai smiled. It was just a deal, but what they got in return was the right to use the car.

There were also many black stones in the canyon. Every time they went to the canyon, Gu Yuxin's black SUV was used, which undoubtedly increased the number of black stones they carried each time.

In this month, the reserves of black stone in the stone mound have reached an astonishing number, and the sixth phase of Gu Yuxin's research on plant extracts has also entered a critical period.

That night, Lu Wuyai and the others did not return to Shiqiu. Instead, they rested well in the open space outside the dangerous peak for a night before setting off the next day.

At noon, a heavy rainstorm struck the deserted island.

Lu Wuyai and his group drove the car into the garage and returned to the cave in the rain.

"It's raining heavily again," Yu Mengrou complained inside the cave. With the continuous rain, the air inside the cave became rather stuffy. If you smelled it closely, there was still a musty odor.

I'm feeling a bit uncomfortable not seeing the sun for a week.

Lu Wuyai went to the dining table and swept up the leftovers. His appetite wouldn't allow him to be picky anymore.

After lunch, Lu Wuyai went to paddy field number 2 with an umbrella. Just as he opened the cover on the ground, a burst of fierce gunfire suddenly rang out in the forest.

Gunshots suddenly rang out, like a thunderclap from the sky, instantly stunning Lu Wuyai.

A second later, Lu Wuyai realized what was happening, closed the gate to the rice paddy, and ran to hide on a nearby hill.

Gunfire continued, spreading rapidly.

Lu Wuyai was undecided for a moment, so he peeked out and saw several cars speeding through the woods. The earlier gunshots had come from these cars.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Wuyai looked closely. The more he looked, the more frightened he became. This group of people not only had uniforms, but also looked very much like the foreign mercenaries often seen in movies and TV dramas.

However, there were two groups of people, one in front and one behind. The people being chased were wearing brown clothes, while those chasing them were wearing black uniforms.

Due to the unique environment, there aren't many covers here. In fact, as the story unfolds at a rapid pace, the ending is quite predictable.

However, Lu Wuyai soon saw a person in a brown uniform open the sunroof, take out a rocket, and aim it at the car chasing them.

A rumbling sound.

A violent explosion rang out, and a car engulfed in flames appeared on the spot.

This scene sent chills down Lu Wuyai's spine. He quietly hid himself and only came out again after the other person left.

On the grass, the bombed car was still burning, and the people inside were probably almost burned to a crisp.

After the flames died down, Lu Wuyai walked over and looked at the charred corpse inside. He didn't clean it up completely because he was worried that the man in the brown uniform would come back.

There had been an explosion earlier, and many things inside the car had been blown away. Lu Wuyai walked around and found a suitcase. Upon opening it, he discovered it contained some cold weapons, such as throwing knives, which were very finely crafted.

Lu Wuyai drew out a small knife, the blade gleaming faintly in the sunlight.

"This is quite good; it's perfect for women to use as a self-defense tool," Lu Wuyai said with a smile. Inside were nine knives and fifty throwing knives. They were exquisitely crafted, like handicrafts.

Finally, after taking one last look at the burned-out car, Lu Wuyai returned to the cave, erasing all his footprints and leaving no trace.

Back in the cave, Lu Wuyai placed his suitcase on the dining table, called the women over, and told them what had just happened.

"There seem to be endless dangers on this deserted island, and even mercenaries have appeared." Gu Yuxin frowned and took a knife out of the box.

Xia Qingming complained, "The box is so big, but it only contains these things."

Lu Wuyai then realized that the box was likely larger than it actually contained.

Lu Wuyai reached out and grabbed the foam containing the weapon, discovering a folded piece of paper underneath.

When he opened it, Lu Wuyai's pupils suddenly shrank, and his mouth widened slightly.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Lu Wuyai's expression, everyone else realized that the contents of this piece of paper might be very useful.

Lu Wuyai quickly composed himself and immediately placed the paper on the table. When fully unfolded, it turned out to be a map measuring one meter by one meter.

Everyone gathered around the dining table, looking at the map on it, and were quite surprised.

Where is the map?

This question suddenly popped into everyone's mind.

Lu Wuyai examined the map carefully and found that the terrain descriptions were very detailed, but they were all written in distorted characters, making them difficult to distinguish at first.

Soon, Gu Yuxin and Song Xiaoyou began annotating the translated information.

"Almost done, come and take a look." Song Xiaoyou hung the translated map back on the wall, and the women nearby all gathered around.

In fact, when they learned it was a map, everyone wondered if it was related to a deserted island.

But in fact, just looking at its shape on the map, it's hard to compare it to a deserted island.

Moreover, a large part of this map is blank; nothing has been filled in.

There are very few things that can be written on a map that is one meter long and one meter high.

"Look here." Yu Mengrou pointed to a spot. There were no words there, but a picture of a mountain peak.

"Is there a problem?" Lu Wuyai asked.

“I think…” Yu Mengrou thought for a while and said, “If this map really is a deserted island, then this is probably the snow-capped peak we saw before.”

Snow-capped peaks.

People nearby immediately thought of that tall mountain.

“Perhaps, if it really is there, we can study this map carefully,” Gu Yuxin said.

Assuming this was the Xuefeng everyone knew, they began to work backwards, and Lu Wuyai and his group quickly determined their location.

Song Xiaoyou took out a pencil and drew a small "x" outside the map to represent the location of the stone mountain.

“This map is also hand-drawn, so it may not be accurate. We can go here to take a look.” Lu Wuyai pointed to the edge of the map, where the beach was.

The hand-drawn map shows a reef here, which looks quite large.

"But let's skip it today and go check it out tomorrow." Lu Wuyai thought of those uniformed drivers again, and a trace of unease still flashed through his heart.

After agreeing to tomorrow's action, Lu Wuyai placed the map on the table again and began to copy the hand-drawn map.

During the copying process, Lu Wuyai roughly memorized the information on the map.

“You guys draw one too,” Lu Wuyai shouted.

Soon, the women began to draw the map. This made it easy to spot things that had been overlooked.

On the entire map, the closer you are to the beach, the more information you will find.

The next morning, taking advantage of the slightly cooler weather, Lu Wuyai led Song Xiaoyou and Song Xiaoyou out of the cave and headed straight for the seaside.

Along the way, Song Xiaoyou drove the car while Lu Wuyai controlled the drone, which flew rapidly through the nearby forest.

“The beach is here,” Song Xiaoyou suddenly said.

Ten minutes later, the car stopped in a withered coconut grove.

Lu Wuyai got out of the car and retrieved the drone. He encountered no danger along the way.

“According to the map, we should go this way,” Song Xiaoyou pointed to the other side of the beach.

The general direction can be determined, but how long it will take is impossible to estimate.

Lu Wuyai took three self-balancing scooters out of the trunk and then covered them with car covers. After doing all this, he drove the scooters away.

After two hours of bumpy travel, they came to see Eagle's Beak Cliff, towering into the clouds. Lu Wuyai could even hear the roar of the crashing waves below.

Yuri called out as she walked in front, having circled around from the side.

"Lots of stones."

Lu Wuyai took a step forward, stood on the rock, and looked across. Sure enough, he saw clusters of rocks faintly visible beneath the blue water.

Compared to Lu Wuyai and You Li, Song Xiaoyou's judgment is undoubtedly superior.

"There are just too many rocks in this sea area." Even Song Xiaoyou, who is usually calm and collected, felt a chill run down her spine after seeing the dense reefs on the seabed.

She quickly took out a map and compared it with the information on it, which allowed her to roughly confirm the point.

However, this may have been a coincidence, so they planned to continue exploring because there was a bamboo forest nearby.

They left the beach and rode their Segways deeper into the deserted island. Two hours later, a withered bamboo forest appeared before them.

“Now, we should be able to confirm that this map is a map of a deserted island.” Lu Wuyai took a breath, his eyes inexplicably relaxed.

Because there is so much information on this map that it will undoubtedly help them survive on the desert island.

"Yeah."

Song Xiaoyou walked to the side and dug in the ground for a minute with her hands. Finally, she dug out a bamboo root with a sprout. It was tender and full of vitality.

“Take it back and cultivate it with black stones. Maybe it will grow into a bamboo forest in the future,” Lu Wuyai said.

Yuli and Song Xiaoyou nodded and carefully hid the bamboo root.

After confirming the map's accuracy, Lu Wuyai and the two women immediately returned to the car.

On the way back, the sun shone brightly under a blue sky with white clouds. The gloom of a few months ago seemed like a nightmare. Now they were awake, and a new world was beckoning them.

At 2 PM, under the blazing sun overhead, Lu Wuyai and the others arrived safely at Shiqiu.

After taking some black stones out of the cave, You Li and Song Xiaoyou hurriedly buried the bamboo roots they were holding in a sunny spot in the nearby deadwood forest.

Here, there are mountains and water. I believe new plants will soon replace the old ones.

As dusk fell, Su Xi and Xia Qingming emerged from the forest, surrounded by nine wolfhound puppies. They were also growing in size, and their appearance somewhat resembled that of white wolves.

Woof woof

A white wolfhound barked at Lu Wuyai, shaking its head, looking very affectionate.

Standing on the grass, Lu Wuyai was reinforcing the loose cowshed. Hearing the noise, he turned around, saw the two women, and greeted them with a smile.

Moo

The calf was grazing on the grass. When it first arrived at the rocky hill, its body had already doubled in size. It changes every day.

The fence was opened, and the wolfhound rushed in, immediately engulfing three calves on the grass.

"Did you have any success today?" Lu Wuyai asked. "Recently, the women have been searching for green plants in the forest, preparing to use the black market to transform the nearby deadwood forest."

Su Xi put her hands on her waist, took a breath, and said, "I found some bushes, but they are too small. However, I put some black stones in them, which should make them grow faster."

Xia Qingming added, "There's also a small tree, but I don't know what kind it is."

After the hazy days, although the mountains and rivers were covered with green grass, there were no tall green trees, and sometimes I always felt uneasy.

So, Lu Wuyai and the others used the extra black stones they had to start planting green plants.

Afterwards, the three of them worked together to reinforce the grassland fence and finally completed their task before dark.

However, Lu Wuyai was not in a hurry to return to the cave. He wandered around until 7:30, when the twilight completely enveloped the deserted island.

"There seems to be light again." Lu Wuyai looked into the distance, where the flash of light in the darkness was very conspicuous.

A few nights ago, there was a light there, and the key point is the direction it was pointing—it was the sea, like a lighthouse.

At eight o'clock, Su Xi came out and urged Lu Wuyai to come back for dinner.

"You guys eat first, I'll wait a bit," Lu Wuyai said, secretly wondering if there might be a boat there.

"Stop looking and come eat!" Su Xi urged again.

With no other options, Lu Wuyai could only return to the cave, eat a bucket of rice, and then go to the high mountain near the stone mountain to look at the flickering lights.

He soon heard breathing behind him, and when he turned around, he saw it was Song Xiaoyou.

"You noticed that too? Song Xiao, ask."

Lu Wuyai nodded: "What do you think is there?"

Song Xiaoyou shook his head: "I don't know, it's too far away, I can't see it."

The direction of the sea is exactly the same as the beach they went to this morning, one to the south and one to the north.

"Want to see?" Lu Wuyai suddenly asked, looking a little excited.

Song Xiaoyou paused for a moment, but after thinking about it, she shook her head: "Be careful. Whatever it is, it has nothing to do with us."

"Curiosity killed the cat."

Lu Wuyai touched his nose, finally giving up the idea of ​​investigating tonight.

But that night, a violent explosion, like thunder, woke everyone in the cave.

Before Lu Wuyai could even get dressed, he immediately led Su Xi out of the container.

At this moment, the women in the other carriages groggily woke up.

Su Xi blushed. She had just had an unpleasant experience with Lu Wuyai. Now, disheveled but alluring, she hurriedly went into her cubicle, dressed, and came out again.

At this moment, Lu Wuyai was no longer in the cave; he had already appeared in the outside world.

It was already past midnight. Lu Wuyai stood on a high mountain, gazing into the distance. At first, he couldn't see anything, but soon, a fiery red stripe appeared on the horizon.
