That evening, after replenishing their water supply, the group continued their journey along the cliff.

During the day, they rest peacefully, choosing an open space, setting traps, eating a meal, taking a nap, and conserving their energy until night falls.

After walking and stopping for three days, they finally saw the collapsed cliff on this day.

“We’ll be there soon,” Lu Wuyai said. “From this distance, you can still vaguely see their car covered in a car cover.”

Everyone cheered. There were still two hours until dawn, so the sky was pitch black, and for normal people, it was almost impossible to see anything.

"Li Ruisi, stay close," Lu Wuyai whispered a reminder. Although the bottom of the cliff was visible, it was still hundreds of meters high. If you lost your footing, you would be killed.

Li Ruisi hummed a song in the darkness. In fact, she had been walking very close to the forest because she couldn't see it. She was holding a piece of wood in her hand, one end of which was Su Xi.

Ten minutes later, they jumped off the cliff and successfully landed on the opposite, collapsing cliff.

"Almost there." Lu Wuyai breathed a sigh of relief, and just as he was about to climb, a clear shout rang out.

Lu Wuyai raised his head, squinted, and looked at the forest in front of him and behind him. Because the space was too large, he couldn't immediately tell where the sound was coming from.

"What's wrong?" Song Xiaoyou asked. She saw the surprise and uncertainty on Lu Wuyai's face.

Just as Lu Wuyai was about to speak but stopped, several huge beast eyes appeared on the collapsed cliff.

On the collapsed cliff, the women approached Lu Wuyai, for behind them, several burly saber-toothed tigers appeared.

“I’ve never seen this before, but now I have,” Lu Wuyai said, reminding the others not to worry too much if they pull out a pistol.

With their firearms, the damage they cause upon hitting a target will undoubtedly be enormous.

Almost simultaneously with their opponent's attack, Lu Wuyai and the others pulled their triggers. After the fierce battle, a strong stench of blood filled the air.

Lu Wuyai wiped the blood off his face with the back of his hand, took a breath, and urged everyone to leave quickly.

"Aren't you going to take the tiger meat with you?" Su Xi asked.

"What time is it?" Lu Wuyai's eyes widened. "Why do you still want to eat?"

Su Xi pouted. When she fired the gun just now, she was genuinely wondering what the meat of these saber-toothed tigers would taste like.

At this moment, Lu Wuyai urged them on from the front, because the smell of blood might attract more animals.

Before leaving, with Gu Yuxin's help, Su Xi cut off a few tiger claws, intending to take them back and cook them.

Lu Wuyai was speechless. Among these women, Su Xi was undoubtedly a foodie.

Soon, after crossing the collapsed cliff, Lu Wuyai and the others safely arrived at the lawn on the opposite side. They lifted their clothes, got into the car, checked the battery, started the car, and drove towards Shishan.

"Drink less water, there's no water source on the way back," Lu Wuyai reminded us. "When we came, the car had already been traveling for ten days, so it should be almost full by the time we return."

Two hours later, the eastern sky began to brighten, and the car stopped in a depression. Everyone except Lu Wuyai and You Li was getting ready to rest.

The grassland was overgrown with weeds. It was probably because the environment after autumn was so perfect. The weeds were almost as tall as a person. Driving in this kind of environment is actually very dangerous.

Because you can't predict what might appear in the grass. Sometimes it could be a rock or a piece of wood, enough to destroy a car or kill a person.

Here, Lu Wuyai and Youli each took a sickle and harvested the nearby grass to broaden their field of vision.

Afterwards, Lu Wuyai told Youli to rest, and he took a drone out of the trunk and started flying it around inside the car.

As the grass grows and birds fly, danger lurks in the details.

The drone flew almost close to the lawn, its view revealing a green expanse. The grass was growing well and hadn't yet turned brown.

Ten minutes later, Lu Wuyai retrieved the drone, sat on the roof of the vehicle, and leisurely ate the military rations he had taken out of his pocket while occasionally checking his phone.

Around 3 p.m., Lu Wuyai woke the woman up and drove off.

And so, with stops and starts along the way, on the eighth day, the convoy finally arrived at a familiar beach.

It only takes about ten hours to get from here to Shiqiu. Lu Wuyai and the others planned to get a good night's rest and return to Shiqiu the next day.

At dusk, as the tide receded, the women collected seashells on the beach, while Lu Wuyai began climbing a coconut tree, intending to pick a few coconuts to try his luck.

Speaking of coconut trees, these tall plants in front of us are the coconut seeds that Lu Wuyai and his friends originally planted. Now they have grown to more than three meters tall. Several coconuts hang high on the trees, looking vibrant and full of life.

When Lu Wuyai successfully climbed to the top of the coconut tree, he could still see the horizon where the sea and sky gradually receded into the distance.

A few minutes later, Lu Wuyai slid down from the tree. Just before he hit the ground, his scalp suddenly tingled, and he forcefully stopped his fall.

The intense friction between his palm and the tree bark caused Lu Wuyai to feel a burning, stinging pain.

At the same time, a peculiar sound came from the bark of the tree beneath his feet, causing Lu Wuyai's gaze to change. He immediately rushed towards the grass on the beach.

The sound just now was clearly caused by a bullet hitting the tree bark.

Lu Wuyai immediately took a breath and trudged across the beach. Hearing the sounds of gunfire, he realized someone was indeed trying to assassinate him.

"What's going on?" Lu Wuyai couldn't find his own thoughts, but his tense mood gradually calmed down, and he kept glancing at the situation on the beach. Fortunately, the women were temporarily away and wouldn't be returning anytime soon.

"If you have bullets, why kill people instead of animals?" Lu Wuyai ran quickly through the woods because he noticed that the person shooting was always aiming at him.

Just now, if he hadn't been so keenly aware of something was wrong, he would have been killed the moment he landed.

Thinking of this, Lu Wuyai took a breath and quickened his pace again.

However, the coconut grove's coverage area was ultimately limited. Lu Wuyai arrived on the grassland and moved through the grass. He roughly determined the location where the shooting had occurred.

Lu Wuyai drew his pistol. He dared not take any risks and could only attempt to fire blindly.

Before firing, he removed the silencer, which attracted the women who were still picking up seashells on the beach.

Did you hear that?

"It sounds like gunshots coming from the coconut grove."

"Song Xiaoyou, have you read Lu Wuyai?"

At this moment, the women on the beach straightened up and looked at the situation on the beach.

Song Xiaoyou squinted as well. She could see plants and trees in the direction of the beach, but she still couldn't see anyone.

"Don't say that yet, bullets don't have eyes," said Song Xiaoyou.

Su Xi looked around on the beach and found a recessed cliff not far away, suggesting that they hide there.

Gunfire continued. To avoid being spotted, the women drew their guns and ran towards the cliff.

At this moment, Lu Wuyai was still hiding in the bushes, occasionally firing a couple of shots before quickly changing position to avoid being spotted.

At the same time, Lu Wuyai was carefully listening to the other party's statement.

Suddenly, Lu Wuyai heard a scraping sound, and the gunfire from the other side stopped abruptly. He realized that the gunman might be leaving.

"Let me see who you really are." Lu Wuyai suddenly burst out of the bushes and rushed forward at top speed.

Perhaps he hadn't expected Lu Wuyai to react so quickly. The distance between them was no more than twenty meters when his opponent landed.

At such a short distance, Lu Wuyai quickly locked onto his opponent.

It was a person dressed in black, carrying a gun on his back, rushing towards the grass.

Without any hesitation, Lu Wuyai drew his gun and fired. The bullet pierced through the coconut grove, putting immense pressure on his opponent.

In particular, Lu Wuyai's speed was significantly faster than his opponent's. As time went on, the distance between the two grew closer and closer, almost touching.

Suddenly, his opponent turned around and threw two gleaming silver knives into his hands. To avoid them, Lu Wuyai suddenly spun around, lost his balance, and plowed a mark on the ground.

Originally, the other party thought that Lu Wuyai would give up the pursuit, but to their surprise, after Lu Wuyai got up, he continued to chase after them frantically.

At this moment, time was already turning somewhat dark, with less than half an hour left until nightfall.

Lu Wuyai chased after him through the bushes. Although the distance between them had widened because of what had just happened, his opponent's stamina was clearly inferior to Lu Wuyai's.

Half an hour later, as darkness fell, Lu Wuyai noticed that the other party was moving slower and slower, but he remained cautious due to what had happened earlier.

He showed no mercy whatsoever. After all, the other party wanted to kill him, so Yang Nuoguo raised his gun and shot the other party in the calf.

At that very moment, Mu Ye collapsed completely.

Lu Wuyai walked over and stopped next to his opponent. He noticed that the man who had been mocking him was now extremely flustered. Because he couldn't see anything, he even raised his gun and waved it around nearby.

Taking advantage of the situation, Lu Wuyai grabbed his sniper rifle, snatched the weapon, broke it in half, and threw it into the nearby bushes.

"Why did you kill me?" Lu Wuyai asked, only to find out that the other party was a native of an island.

Hearing Lu Wuyai's voice, the other person was very excited and chatted for a while. Finally, Lu Wuyai, impatient, knocked him unconscious and took all his belongings.

"I won't kill you, but I can't let you go either." Lu Wuyai sneered, then drew his dagger and slashed his opponent several times. The smell of blood continued to spread with the night wind.

Soon, Lu Wuyai left the grassland and ran towards the beach.

As a result, on the way, he encountered Su Xi and other people who were looking for them.

"Nothing happened to you. What was that gunshot just now?" Su Xi and the others looked very nervous, especially when they saw some blood on Lu Wuyai's body.

Lu Wuyai shrugged and said, "Don't worry, he won't die. Let's go get the car first, and we'll talk on the way."

This coconut grove is unsafe, so Lu Wuyai plans to drive to Shiqiu overnight.

"Anyway, that's how it is. In the future, when you're driving, pay attention to the surroundings." Lu Wuyai warned again and again.

The women nodded, their expressions serious.

"Let's go!" Lu Wuyai shouted.

The car slowly drove out of the coconut grove and headed towards the rocky mountain at a constant speed.

During the journey, Su Xi and Song Xiaoyou piloted two drones to clear the way ahead. The speed was not very fast, but it remained very stable.

Therefore, the originally planned ten-hour journey was extended to twelve hours, and we arrived at Shiqiu early the next morning.

Upon seeing the rocks covered in green grass, Lu Wuyai and the others took a long breath in the car, their exhalations feeling quite relaxed.

Soon, Lu Wuyai got out of the car and immediately checked the nearby traps.

Fortunately, none of the traps were destroyed, and the cows in the barn were still alive and appeared to be well cared for by the wolfhounds.

Woof woof woof.

The wolfhound barked at Lu Wuyai on the grass. He was also extremely excited, sticking out his pink tongue and circling around.

A few minutes later, the car drove into the parking lot, and the women went into the tomb to pack their things.

After all, he hadn't been back for almost a month, and many things in the cave were covered in a layer of dust.

Fortunately, there were many people, and Lu Wuyai kept carrying the buckets of water, which saved the women a lot of effort.

Around noon, Lu Wuyai came to the rocky mountain alone, holding a sickle, and began to clear the weeds from the mountain.

As for the other women, they were already resting well in the carriage. They were exhausted from driving all night.

In the crevices of the rocky hill, the roots of weeds spread deep into the ground. Lu Wuyai first cut off the leaves that had grown out, and then pulled out the roots of the weeds by hand to ensure that the next weed would not grow unchecked.

By the time the grass on the rocky hill was taken care of, it was already afternoon.

Here, Lu Wuyai brought weeds to the cowshed as feed for the cattle and also cleaned the cowshed.

"Brother Lu Wuyai." Hearing the voice behind him, Lu Wuyai turned around. It was Li Ruisi, who was crawling out of the hole in the ground, rubbing her eyes. Her tall and sexy figure was completely inconsistent with her actual age.

Lu Wuyai said with a smile, "Why don't you take a proper rest?"

Li Ruisi shook his head, walked into the cowshed, took out a bamboo winnowing basket, and began to clean the cow dung in the cowshed.

Lu Wuyai saw Li Ruisi pile cow dung in a corner outside the cowshed, let it dry in the sun, and then neatly arrange it outside the fence.

“Cow dung can be used as fuel, which is very good.” Li Ruisi noticed Lu Wuyai’s doubt.

Lu Wuyai nodded. He had indeed heard people mention using cow dung as fuel before, but the smell of cow dung was too strong.

“Brother Lu Wuyai, go and rest. Leave this place to me,” Li Ruisi said.

Lu Wuyai shook his head. It was getting close to nightfall, and Li Ruisi couldn't possibly handle the cowshed by herself.

The cowshed hadn't been cleaned for a month; it was filthy.

From five to six o'clock, for a full hour, Lu Wuyai ran back and forth between the cowshed and the water pool, carrying dozens of buckets of water, and then cleaned the cowshed.

"Finally, it's okay." Lu Wuyai sniffed his own scent, which wafted directly to his nose. The same thing happened to Li Ruisi.

Lu Wuyai thought for a moment and said, "Let's go take a bath in the pool. The weather isn't too cold now."

Li Ruisi initially wanted to refuse, but looking at his clothes covered in cow dung, he went back into the cave and picked up a few changes of clothes.

Soon, Li Ruisi arrived at the rocky hill, entered the pool, and began to wash herself.

As for Lu Wuyai, he was still standing outside the fence, watching the wolfhounds drive the cattle into the cowshed.

After a month apart, the wolfhounds were almost unrecognizable. Their fur was not only growing larger, but also changing color.

It's possible that because both wolves and dogs are undergoing genetic mutations, wolfdogs' coats begin to change color after they reach adulthood, becoming black and white, and each variety is different.

"It's gotten bigger too." Only then did Lu Wuyai notice that the wolfhound had gotten fat. Thinking that half of the military rations in the cowshed were gone, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Half an hour later, Li Ruisi rushed back from Shiqiu, stumbling and unable to see clearly, and almost knocked Lu Wuyai down.

"Go back and rest first. Be careful, don't go out at night..." Lu Wuyai reminded him.

Li Ruisi's face flushed red. He clutched his chest, which had been injured by the impact, and went straight into the hole.

On the ground, Lu Wuyai rubbed his chest, thinking to himself that this girl was really nice.

At seven o'clock, Lu Wuyai returned to the cave. Smelling the aroma of food in the air, he couldn't help but swallow.

It turned out that the women had been awake for a while and were preparing dinner; the aroma of the leopard meat was irresistible.

"You're back." Su Xi couldn't help but smile when she saw Lu Wuyai.

Lu Wuyai nodded, then, as if no one else was around, put his arm around Su Xi's waist, sat down next to her, and reached for a skewer.

"It smells so good!" Lu Wuyai exclaimed.

"Don't feed me that." Su Xi slapped Lu Wuyai's hand away and took out a rice bucket from under her buttocks, which contained the leopard meat that had been roasted earlier.

Upon seeing this, Lu Wuyai's eyes turned into crescent moons.

Before we knew it, autumn had arrived. Since returning to late autumn, everyone's life has become busy again.

During the day, Lu Wuyai and the others had to weed with Li Ruisi because there was too much grass on the mountain, and Li Ruisi couldn't finish planting it all by himself before winter arrived.

Secondly, dairy cows need to eat hay in winter, and the stored hay is far from enough.

To store more hay, Lu Wuyai dug another hole in the ground. After filling his stomach, he figured he wouldn't need to prepare any extra food for the cows in the coming winter.

"Exhausted," Yu Mengrou complained as she stood up. The grass nearby was so thick and tall that she couldn't see anyone else at all.

Here, there is only a gentle slope between the cowshed and the barn.

Behind Yu Mengrou, the grass swayed, and soon two wolfhounds appeared, carrying two unconscious wild rabbits in their mouths, circling around her body as if they were asking for credit.

Seeing this, Yu Mengrou's lips curved into a smile, and she reached out to stroke the wolfhound's fluffy head.

She left the bushes and came to a clearing where there was an iron basket containing more than a dozen wild rabbits, all caught by the pack of wolfhounds in half a day.

There are many four-legged rabbits on the green grassland.

After resting for a while, Yu Mengrou continued walking towards the edge of the grassland to harvest fodder with the other women.

At noon, everyone sat on the ground near the cowshed. Because it was late autumn, the new weeds had stopped growing, making it look rather desolate.

Lu Wuyai returned from a distance, holding a crossbow in his hand, his expression not good.

"What's wrong?" Su Xi asked.
