To make sorting easier, they didn't store the seeds randomly, but neatly arranged them on the sand with the drawers.

In addition, Lu Wuyai also found a book on the ground that described the environment required for these seeds to grow.

Putting the book in his pocket, Lu Wuyai took one last look at the container before turning to leave.

Soon, the tide began to rise and finally overflowed the beach, and the sky above the beach gradually brightened over time.

At eight o'clock in the morning, a car drove up from a distance, carrying the last batch of supplies collected that night.

Lu Wuyai leaned against a coconut tree, gazing at the azure sea bathed in golden sunlight, his eyes narrowed into slits.

After a while, a pair of long legs appeared in front of him.

Su Xi sat next to Lu Wuyai, and for a long time, only faint breathing could be heard in the air.

"How wonderful it would be to live a simple life without arguing," Su Xi suddenly said.

Lu Wuyai smiled and reached out to pat Su Xi's head. The latter pulled away in disgust, but Lu Wuyai hugged him again, trying to put his hand inside his collar.

"Many people are watching." Su Xi blushed and slapped away Lu Wuyai's mischievous right hand.

Lu Wuyai shrugged, not letting go of Su Xi's hand, because the convoy had already left. Among those who remained, Song Xiaoyou and Su Xi were taking stock of the remaining supplies and calculating how many more trips were needed to complete the transport.

For a moment, an ambiguous atmosphere permeated the area near the beach.

Half an hour later, when she heard Song Xiaoyou calling her, Su Xi stood up from Lu Wuyai's arms, straightened her almost torn clothes, her eyes were full of tears, and she walked with a limp.

Lu Wuyai pulled up his pants, grinned, and jumped into the sea for a long, cold shower.

Seeing Su Xi, Su Xi couldn't help but say, "You spoil him too much. You were so loud just now..."

Hearing this, Su Xi blushed even more. Looking at the sound of the churning seawater, she thought of the past and couldn't help but say, "This is what I owe him, and besides, he's mine."

Su Xi looked at Su Xi and said with a smile, "Do you think it's elastic?"

Hearing Su Xi's words, Su Xi naturally blushed. After snorting, she ran straight towards Song Xiaoyou.

Su Xi glanced at him, then focused her gaze on Lu Wuyai, her eyes filled with tenderness, like the stars in the sky.

"I hope things will get better and better in the future," Su Xi said quietly.

This morning, the team made five round trips. On the last trip, they all returned to the hill; they hadn't been back there in a long time.

At noon, everyone unloaded the supplies and returned to the cave to rest.

This kind of sleep continued until someone opened their eyes and woke up the next morning.

Su Xi rubbed her face and noticed that the other women in the cubicle were all asleep. She checked her watch again and realized it was already eight o'clock.

"Sleeping so soundly." Su Xi went to the rice bucket and began to wash the rice and cook.

To avoid disturbing others' sleep, Su Xi kept her voice very low, and the cooking area was in a small cubicle in the corridor.

After turning on the generator and starting the rice cooker to cook porridge, Su Xi returned to the cave and headed towards the container where Lu Wuyai was.

The door closed slightly. Su Xi opened it and saw two people lying on a large bed. She blushed and quickly closed the door.

"Shameless scoundrel." Su Xi recalled the meow of the stray cat last night.

Covering her face and running away, Su Xi felt a little impure.

At nine o'clock, the cave was filled with the rich aroma of rice. The smell alone was intoxicating.

Inside the container, Lu Wuyai stretched and looked at Su Xi, who was thick-skinned and had a large chest, beside him. Another impulse surged into his heart, but he suppressed it deeply in the end.

After breakfast, everyone got busy.

The supplies brought back in the past few days were so numerous that even a single day was not enough to sort them all out, not to mention that Lu Wuyai also needed to prepare to dig out new space to store them.

"There are still some shipping containers in the woods," Lu Wuyai said to You Li and Gu Yuxin. "After emptying them, transport them back in a pickup truck."

The shipping containers are spacious and mostly clean. They don't require secondary processing. Lu Wuyai only needs to dig a deep pit to fill them.

Soon, the women began heading into the forest to find a way to move the containers. As for Lu Wuyai, after finding a suitable location, he began digging alone.

As a result, in less than an hour, Lu Wuyai had dug a container pit more than 40 meters high, but he did not stop and continued to work nearby.

Half an hour later, Lu Wuyai heard the screeching sound of tires coming from the forest, and realized that Song Xiaoyou and the others should have returned.

Sure enough, a shipping container slowly emerged from the forest, and two pickup trucks were towing it toward Lu Wuyai.

On the other side, Su Xi and the others were also making cement, preparing to fill in the gaps.

"This way. Drag the container over here," Lu Wuyai shouted to the pickup truck.

Finally, the pit and the container fit together perfectly, leaving only a fist-sized gap on each side. However, this was intentionally left by Lu Wuyai beforehand, so that when cement was filled in, it would slow down the oxidation and corrosion of the container over time.

Of course, the bottom of the pit has been paved with cement.

Soon, the container was covered up, leaving only one side of the door exposed.

That day, Yuri and the others moved a total of ten shipping containers, almost emptying all the boxes in the vicinity.

Even so, a large portion of the materials in the cave were not stored.

In addition, Lu Wuyai temporarily placed the thousands of different types of plants in a pit ten meters above the ground. The temperature there remained cool, unaffected by the summer climate. To some extent, with the addition of the ice maker, there wouldn't be any problems for the time being.

At dusk, Lu Wuyai dug the last passage, connecting the containers to the underground tunnel.

"The rest is up to you." Lu Wuyai was exhausted. Even he himself couldn't handle the workload of the day.

The tunnel also needs to be paved with cement; otherwise, during the height of summer, insect eggs and microorganisms in the soil will multiply rapidly, causing serious consequences.

We worked until late at night before everyone had a chance to rest.

When they returned to the cave, Xia Qingming and Su Xi were making lamb skewers. The aroma alone was enough to make anyone's mouth water, and they couldn't resist reaching out to grab some.

"Go wash your hands first." Su Xi glared angrily at Lu Wuyai with wide eyes.

After digging all day, even while holding tools, my fingers were covered in mud and ash.

Lu Wuyai smiled, then washed his hands in the bucket next to him and applied some disinfectant alcohol.

"Here you go." Su Xi handed Lu Wuyai a few skewers of lamb from the tray next to her, and the latter happily began to eat them.

There's no special processing method for compressed mutton, but the compression technology is beyond imagination. A piece of mutton the size of a human head can be condensed into the size of a fist.

Having a late-night snack is a joyful experience. The deliciousness of mutton, combined with wild fruits freshly picked from the tree, brings an ultimate taste sensation with every bite.

"I can't eat anymore." Song Xiaoyou rubbed her stomach and smeared some oil on her red lips.

In fact, during this period, women have become fuller and look more sexy.

"I'm too tired today, I should go to bed early."

Before Lu Wuyai could finish speaking, he suddenly heard a strange sound, like something cutting through the air and slicing across the ground, making a whooshing sound.

"Who cares?" Lu Wuyai walked to the periscope and looked at the dark night. Suddenly, the sky gained some color.

It was a red streak of fire that flashed across the sky and disappeared in an instant.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Lu Wuyai's solemn expression, the women next to him couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know, but I have a feeling that something is about to happen."

Lu Wuyai recounted what had just happened, which immediately caused panic among everyone.

"Could it be a bomb?" The fiery red beam of light looked just like a bomb slicing through the sky in a movie.

But after waiting for a long time, Lu Wuyai could not hear any movement, and the sound from before did not reappear.

"Go to sleep first, I'm probably being too sensitive," Lu Wuyai said.

Soon, the cave fell into a drowsy silence.

Inside the container, Lu Wuyai couldn't sleep for a while. He suddenly remembered the seismograph he had acquired yesterday.

As snoring filled the carriage, Lu Wuyai scrambled out of bed and rushed into the tomb chamber. Most of the materials in the tomb chamber had already been moved away. Only two movable type printing presses, three textile machines, and a pile of bronze alloy remained.

These bronze alloys were used to assemble seismographs.

Following the instructions, Lu Wuyai quickly assembled the materials, and a two-meter-tall, exquisite machine suddenly appeared in front of him.

This device is similar to the one Lu Wuyai saw in the book before, except that it has many more branches in the direction. Each branch of the dragon's head holds a dragon ball in its mouth.

But to Lu Wuyai's surprise, at the very moment the motion device was completed, a dragon ball fell down.

At first, Lu Wuyai thought he had accidentally knocked it over, but when he put it back, it was still the same, which made him suspect that the instrument was defective due to a manufacturing problem.

"This isn't right." Lu Wuyai suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction where the Dragon Balls had fallen. Actually, there was another possibility.

An earthquake may have occurred in that direction.

"Just now, that beam of fire seemed to be shooting in the same direction."

Yang Jin took a breath; this coincidence made him overthink things.

However, what surprised Lu Wuyai even more was yet to come.

Just as various images were flashing through his mind, the dragon balls on the motor fell off the dragon head one by one.

For a moment, Lu Wuyai was at a loss. He didn't know if his device had malfunctioned, or if the world... had exploded.

"That's what you call all-round."

Looking at the 100 dragon shapes on the bronze pillar and the 100 rice-sized bronze balls rolling down the ground, Lu Wuyai felt a chill run down his spine.

He quickly checked the installation sequence and the location of each interface. After confirming that it wasn't his problem, he gasped.

He didn't know why, but he felt dizzy and lightheaded.

"There were earthquakes in 100 directions." Lu Wuyai still found it unbelievable.

Suddenly, he noticed some debris falling from the cement above his head. Upon closer inspection, he found that the ground did indeed vibrate slightly, but very gently.

Lu Wuyai took a breath. He was afraid he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

Emerging from the cellar, everything was quiet. Looking at the moonlight, Lu Wuyai felt it resembled idyllic rural life.

Soon, he stood atop the rocky hill, gazing at the dark night sky and the glittering stars. It was a sky untouched by pollution.

Without any warning, Lu Wuyai saw a fleeting flash of fiery red on the horizon, but it disappeared so quickly that Lu Wuyai wondered if he had seen it wrong.

But for the next half hour, the sky that Lu Wuyai could see was filled with this color, a brief but brilliant flame.

"What on earth happened?" This familiar scene terrified Lu Wuyai. He remembered that the radiation scene from last year seemed to be a continuation of what was happening now.

At this moment, Lu Wuyai returned to the cave, preparing to wake the other women.

But suddenly he saw a box on the shelf that was shiny.

Out of curiosity, he went over and found the box was full of cell phones.

Lu Wuyai's heart skipped a beat. He looked at the screen and took a deep breath.

He never expected that someone would call them. You probably know that in the past, they were the ones who dialed the numbers first.

Lu Wuyai opened the box, took out his phone, saw the phone number on it, and pressed the answer button.

Hello, Lu Wuyai asked proactively, "Who are you?"

There was always noise on the other end of the phone. Lu Wuyai frowned. After waiting a while, just as he was about to hang up, the other party finally heard a sound.

"Zi Zi...is that Lu Wuyai?"

Hearing the voice, Lu Wuyai was stunned. He could sense that the other person was familiar, but he couldn't recall their name for a moment.

When he realized that the other person was referring to her as Xiao Xi, Lu Wuyai suddenly understood, but then his brows furrowed even more deeply.

When radiation enveloped the deserted island last time, she and Su Xi had spoken on the phone several times, but the other party would abruptly stop, and what he said was difficult to understand.

But this time, the other party actually took the initiative to call.

"Xiao Xi, what's going on?" Lu Wuyai asked.

The phone kept crackling with static. Lu Wuyai glanced at the cave, then decided to stand on the rocky hill again.

This time, the signal became a little more stable, and Xiaoxi's words came through intermittently.

"Listen to me. Sit down. Sit down."

"Do you understand? Tell me quickly."

Lu Wuyai took a breath, and just as he was about to say something, a roar that Lu Wuyai was also familiar with suddenly came from the other end of the phone.

"A patient with conjunctivitis." Lu Wuyai was taken aback and puzzled. He took the phone and continued to speak for a few more minutes, but Xiao Xi's voice was still louder.

"Lu Wuyai".

Suddenly, Xiaoxi screamed, followed by a series of sounds of objects falling into the water.

At first, Lu Wuyai was unaware of anything. It wasn't until he heard the sound of splashing water and cries for help from the other end of the phone that he suddenly snapped back to reality. The sounds he had just heard were likely the sound of someone falling into the water.

However, even if Lu Wuyai realized the danger, he couldn't possibly appear next to Xiaoxi.

Gradually, the phone became quieter and quieter, until it beeped once and then fell silent.

Lu Wuyai pressed the button to end the recording, and the conversation was completely saved.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Wuyai realized that if the outsiders could break in, it also meant that they could fight their way out.

At that moment, Lu Wuyai thought of his college roommate, Monkey.

He casually pulled out a cell phone; he still remembered the monkey's phone number.

He dialed the number quickly, but ultimately failed to get through, which made Lu Wuyai feel somewhat sad and frustrated.

"Make another call." Lu Wuyai dialed all the numbers in his mind, but no one answered.

"I hope my parents are okay."

Lu Wuyai sighed; his biggest worry was his family.

Later, he opened the audio he had just recorded and analyzed it repeatedly, hoping to gain some insights.

The audio was very chaotic. For a long period at the beginning, it was filled with noise. Lu Wuyai couldn't hear anything. It wasn't until Xia's voice appeared that things gradually became clear.

"Zi Zi...is that Lu Wuyai?"

Just a second later, Lu Wuyai heard a series of splashes and gasps, which sounded more like the sounds of running.

Lu Wuyai realized that the situation was not optimistic when Xiao Xi called.

What puzzled him was why she would call them under these circumstances.

You must understand, Xiaoxi knows they're surviving on a deserted island. Logically, this shouldn't be the case, but in fact, this phone call is too strange.

Lu Wuyai continued listening to the conversation, but the information he could glean was very limited.

Finally, Lu Wuyai had no choice but to focus his attention on those two paragraphs.

"Listen to me. Sit down. Sit down."

"Do you understand? Tell me quickly."

Lu Wuyai frowned; he didn't quite understand what it would be like to sit in the back.

"Sit down. We still need to do it."

"It's what we should do..."

"On a deserted island, we can give her anything we make."

Just as Lu Wuyai was deep in thought, Song Xiaoyou's voice suddenly rang out from behind him.

"These are coordinates."

"Xiao Xi wants the coordinates of the deserted island."

Upon hearing Song Xiaoyou's voice, Lu Wuyai suddenly turned around. He didn't know when she had appeared behind him.

"You heard everything?" Lu Wuyai asked.

Song Xiaoyou nodded, and she came out after hearing the sound.

Lu Wuyai let out a breath, thinking of the "coordinates" that Song Xiaoyou had just mentioned, and he suddenly understood what Xiaoxi meant.

"She wants the coordinates of our deserted island." Lu Wuyai was a little skeptical, but he still felt that Song Xiaoyou was right.

However, Lu Wuyai and the others did not know the coordinates of the deserted island they were on. Even if they did know, perhaps out of caution, they would not tell Xiaoxi.

“Outside, I’m just afraid some people won’t be able to survive.” This thought flashed through the minds of both Lu Wuyai and Song Xiaoyou at the same time.

Based on the roaring sound and the sound of splashing water coming from the phone, Lu Wuyai figured that Xiao Xi must be on a boat.

“Don’t tell Su Xi, the same goes for everyone else,” Lu Wuyai said.

Song Xiaoyou nodded and turned to walk towards the cubicle.

Lu Wuyai tidied up the boxes on the ground, glanced at his phone again, put it in his pocket, and then put it back in the container.

That night, Lu Wuyai had a nightmare. In the dream, Xiao Xi was covered in blood, staring with red eyes, constantly asking Lu Wuyai why he didn't come to save her.
