"What animal got into the chicken coop and blocked the gap with snow?" Lu Wuyai took a breath, feeling a chill run down his spine.

Not only that, Lu Wuyai also noticed that the chicken coop was unusually quiet today, and there was a faint smell of blood in the air.

Lu Wuyai frowned, and his hand naturally gripped the pistol at his waist, taking it out.

Lu Wuyai walked past and soon saw the carcasses of several pheasants. To be precise, only their heads remained.

"This is too tragic." Lu Wuyai's face turned pale instantly. No wonder Fengwei was so quiet.

As they parted, passing through a bamboo grove, Lu Wuyai saw a group of young pheasants huddled together on the cold snow, shivering. They were clearly among the few survivors in the henhouse.

Lu Wuyai continued to follow the footprints and soon arrived at the cave entrance, where the footprints finally disappeared.

Lu Wuyai did not hesitate much, probably out of confidence in firearms, and went straight into the cave.

As a result, he saw some leftover chicken heads again in the passageway. The horrific scene was chilling.

Whenever Lu Wuyai saw a chicken head before, he always wondered what kind of carnivore could ignore a chicken head.

Upon entering the cave, his vision began to dim, but his night vision function quickly activated automatically, making the surrounding environment appear as if it were daytime.

Lu Wuyai looked at it carefully again and found that the animal footprints were very clear, extending all the way to the cave where he had met the white tiger before.

Therefore, Lu Wuyai was extremely cautious throughout the journey, not daring to be careless in the slightest. Especially when encountering stalagmites or stone pillars, he would slow down and try to anticipate potential dangers.

Ten minutes later, Lu Wuyai arrived at the cave. In front of him was a very deep passage, the same place where the white tiger had come out last time.

Lu Wuyai once suspected that the end of the cave was a hidden forest.

Soon, Lu Wuyai picked up his watch, checked the time, and went straight inside.

The cave was very quiet. There was no sound of wind, water, or any other noise except for the occasional rustling sound of Lu Wuyai moving around.

As for what was behind him, Lu Wuyai was already very careful because of the previous accident. He even wore a bulletproof vest and was fully armed when he went out.

But aside from feeling palpitations, Lu Wuyai was still looking forward to it, especially his speculation at the end of the cave.

"It's quite warm here," Yang Jian sighed.

It was still very cold outside, but the world inside the cave was warm as spring, and Lu Wuyai even started to sweat.

After walking for a few minutes, he stopped, put down the balance bike, unfolded it, and drove it forward.

It must be said that with the balance scooter, Lu Wuyai can move forward much faster.

"It would be really great if we could build a go-kart track here." This idea popped into Lu Wuyai's mind, but he quickly focused his attention and put all his energy into the front.

This is actually a tunnel. Looking at the fossils embedded in the nearby walls, Lu Wuyai became convinced time and again that a long, long time ago, this place must have been filled with seawater, an underwater current.

At some point, Lu Wuyai checked the time and realized that half an hour had passed, and he had no idea how far he had traveled.

This time, the walking time was the same as last time, but the distance was at least twice as long.

With 80% of its power remaining, Lu Wuyai continued driving forward without hesitation.

Suddenly, Lu Wuyai heard a strange noise not far away and immediately slowed down. As a result, he saw two panicked pheasants run out from around the corner ahead, brush past Lu Wuyai, and disappear in a flash.

Upon seeing this, Lu Wuyai immediately took a breath, his scalp tingling, and he had a sense of danger.

"Oh shit."

After glancing around the corner, Lu Wuyai turned and left, riding his balance scooter back the way he came.

With a bang.

A dull thud came from behind him, and Lu Wuyai couldn't help but turn around to look, as if he had been electrocuted.

He never expected that a huge venomous snake would be coiled around the corner. Just seeing its menacing triangular head sent chills down his spine.

"This is the first time I've ever seen such a large venomous snake." Lu Wuyai drove the balance bike to its maximum speed, not daring to stop at all.

Of course, he didn't intend to shoot, but his opponent was too fast, and it felt like he was always following behind him.

“This isn’t right.” Lu Wuyai suddenly realized something: the footprints left at the cave entrance were clearly not left by a poisonous snake.

If that's not a venomous snake, what kind of animal is it?

Lu Wuyai was completely baffled, but he felt a chill down his spine and knew that if he didn't act soon, he might be in danger.

The head of this venomous snake is as big as a cow; how it grew to this size is still unknown.

Soon, Lu Wuyai began filming. Even without aiming, bullets could still hit their opponents in this somewhat crowded passage, which was still challenging for venomous snakes.

"it hurts."

Hearing the other person's wails, Lu Wuyai couldn't help but turn around and take a look.

The venomous snake slithered through the passage. Clearly, the bullet had caused the opponent considerable pain.

Lu Wuyai braked in front, shook the steering wheel, and suddenly his body rotated 180 degrees.

When he finally faced the giant snake, Lu Wuyai was shocked like never before.

“If this snake doesn’t die, it will definitely become an elf.” Lu Wuyai saw two rows of dense horns on the triangular head of his opponent. At first glance, it looked like a pair of dragon horns.

"I'll kill you." Lu Wuyai fired relentlessly, bullets forming a dense net of fire in front of him. However, the snake's body was enormous. Although all the bullets struck their opponent, none hit vital organs.

After changing the magazine, Lu Wuyai increased the distance between himself and Viper, pointed the gun at his opponent, and did not pull the trigger for the time being.

The opponent's massive body was already entangled at the cave entrance, with its ferocious snake head hidden inside.

“Some people say that if you kill a snake, it will strike you at your vital spot, but for this snake, it’s too difficult to even find your vital spot,” Lu Wuyai muttered to himself.

After a period of stalemate, Lu Wuyai did not continue the argument and chose to leave.

Three minutes later, Lu Wuyai was driving, glancing back every now and then. He breathed a sigh of relief when he realized the venomous snake wasn't chasing him.

"I don't know what kind of monster leaves footprints and a chicken's head on the ground."

At some point, Lu Wuyai suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten a certain detail. When he looked up at the cave ceiling, his dark pupils suddenly shrank.

With a bang.

When he saw the beast perched on the cave ceiling, Lu Wuyai did not hesitate at all and immediately chose to shoot.

It was a black monster, about the size of an ordinary calf. As for why it was called a monster, it was entirely because of its appearance.

Of all the animals Lu Wuyai knew, there was one he couldn't describe. At first glance, it appeared to be made of bone, with four very long, thin legs, but its sharp claws could reflect a cold light in the dark.

There were more than a dozen such monsters above Lu Wuyai's head.

Lost in thought, with no luck in sight, Lu Wuyai's gun kept firing bullets, densely packed, temporarily forming a net of fire.

But these monsters kept falling to the ground, directly blocking Lu Wuyai's path forward.

Seeing this, Lu Wuyai was furious, feeling a chill run down his spine. These monsters were attacking incredibly fast. After finishing two magazines, Lu Wuyai had only killed one.

"We still have plenty of bullets, but there's nothing we can do if we can't hit them."

Lu Wuyai subconsciously reached out and touched the grenade tied to his waist, but if he used it, the passage would likely explode, and he would be buried alive, with no chance of escape.

With this in mind, Lu Wuyai decided to temporarily refrain from using grenades.

Gunshots rang out again in the corridor. Lu Wuyai held his breath, doing his best to wait for the enemy to get closer before firing.

With their black skin and white bones, Lu Wuyai wouldn't have been able to see these monsters at all if he could see clearly at night.

The instant the bullet exploded, illuminated by the flash, a monster's corpse fell to the ground. Lu Wuyai bent down, grabbed it, and used it as a human shield.

"These monsters are very heavy." Yang Jian sighed.

Although the monster was emaciated, the feeling of it falling was particularly noticeable when he held it in his hand. Lu Wuyai grabbed one of his opponent's hind limbs and swung it at the monster beside him.

With a bang.

The monsters collided with a dull thud, like the sound of drums at dusk and the tolling of bells at dawn. Lu Wuyai even suspected that ordinary steel bars couldn't break the monsters' bones; only bullets could inflict fatal damage.

Two more cups, please. Lu Wuyai has definitely adapted to his current martial arts skills. Gunshots rang out continuously as he fired at numerous targets. Even those who weren't killed were still seriously injured.

A few minutes later, Lu Wuyai discovered an opening, jumped on his balance bike, and sped away.

Quack quack quack.

The remaining monsters continued to chase Lu Wuyai, emitting strange roars.

Seeing the monster closing in behind him, Lu Wuyai could no longer continue shooting. He calculated the distance to the cave entrance and began to consider when to throw a grenade.

A few minutes later, Lu Wuyai saw the hole in the passage, pulled out the grenade fuse, silently counted to three, and then threw the grenade behind him.

Almost simultaneously, a huge firework appeared, instantly affecting Lu Wuyai, who flew towards the cave entrance.

The only saving grace was that the passageway did not collapse. Apart from a slight tremor in the ground, everything remained stable.

Lu Wuyai had no time to rejoice. He immediately drew his pistol and fired continuously at the position behind him.

Although the grenade successfully detonated, killing many monsters, some survivors rushed towards the cave.

Lu Wuyai killed several, but the remaining ones were difficult to find due to the complex terrain of the cave.

Having said that, Lu Wuyai didn't linger for long. After confirming that the surviving monsters couldn't be killed, he immediately left the cave. Before leaving, he also took three monster corpses with him, intending for Gu Yuxin to study them carefully. Just this once.

After leaving the cave, Lu Wuyai blocked the entrance with his Segway and placed a bomb on it. Any monsters that rushed out would be killed.

Now, there are no more pheasants in the bamboo forest. As for the baby pheasants in their nest, Lu Wuyai took them with him when he left.

Half an hour later, Lu Wuyai stumbled back into the cave. The smell of blood immediately silenced many of the women who were about to curse him.

"Lu Wuyai, are you alright?" Su Xi quickly came over and asked.

Lu Wuyai shook his head, threw the corpse in his hand on the ground, gave a few simple instructions, and then rushed towards the bamboo forest with bombs and machine guns.

"Lu Wuyai, wait for us!" Yuli and several other women rushed out of the cave. They saw the corpse on the ground. It was such a ferocious monster. Anyone who saw it would feel their scalp tingle and their whole body unease.

As a result, before they even reached the bamboo forest, a loud noise occurred ahead of schedule.

Lu Wuyai's expression changed. He realized that the previous trap had been triggered and a monster might have left the underground cave.

"If these monsters come to the surface, I really don't know what will happen." The words "biological invasion" floated into Lu Wuyai's mind.

In a world without natural enemies, some terrible things might happen.

When Lu Wuyai and his group arrived at the bamboo forest, a huge hole had already been blasted out of the cave entrance. The nearby snow was covered with dense animal tracks.

“Those are the monsters,” Yuri asked, her voice trembling with fear. “You must know that they came several times when Lu Wuyai was paralyzed in bed. If they had encountered these monsters back then, I really don’t know what would have happened.”

Lu Wuyai nodded, telling them to be careful, as he didn't know what would happen next.

Soon, Lu Wuyai and the others went down into the cave and placed numerous bomb traps around it. They even placed many trigger-operated crossbow bolts in places they had to pass through.

Back in the bamboo forest, Lu Wuyai and the others patrolled the area using land patrol robots and drones, but did not find any escaped monsters.

"Go back first, and don't come back into the cave," Lu Wuyai said seriously. This time, he not only saw these monsters, but also encountered poisonous snakes deep in the cave. Thinking of this, he felt very scared.

Back in the cave, Gu Yuxin and Song Xiaoyou were already studying the monster's corpse, and the laboratory was filled with the smell of blood.

"The density of these monsters' bones is terrifying; only bullets can penetrate them." Gu Yuxin broke three saws in a row, only to obtain a little bone powder.

Lu Wuyai could understand this result, after all, he had personally experienced the abilities of these monsters.

"Besides its strong bones, it also has very keen hearing, but it is blind and severely nearsighted." These are the only conclusions that Gu Yuxin's research can draw for now.

“There might be other terrifying things.” Lu Wuyai sighed, “Women are strictly forbidden from bathing in the cave. I really don’t know what monsters will appear next time we come out of the passage.”

In truth, Lu Wuyai didn't need to tell the women that they would never go to the cave again. Their repeated encounters with so many strange creatures had already frightened them.

Back in the container, Lu Wuyai was so tired he didn't even want to take off his clothes. He lay down on the large bed and checked the time. It was only noon; there was still a long time before nightfall.

But in his drowsy state, Lu Wuyai still fell asleep. When he woke up, it was completely dark, and there wasn't a single ray of light on the rocky mountain.

The cave door was opened, and Youli and Suxi came in carrying buckets to replenish their fresh water.

Although the water was frozen, they could still cut ice blocks and put them into the reservoir, where they would slowly melt thanks to the warmth of the cave entrance.

"It's freezing cold, and we don't know how long this will last." At the dinner table, the women were all complaining that during this season, they could only go to the orchard to use the toilet, and the smell was getting worse and worse.

"It should be soon. The snow is melting every day, and today I could even see green grass in the snow," said Gu Yuxin. She observes the snow every day, and life has already sprouted in the soil inside the fence.

After dinner, everyone played cards for a while and then went to bed. However, Lu Wuyai couldn't fall asleep at all, because his mind was filled with the events that had happened in the cave that day.

What lies at the end of the cave?

......

Early the next morning, another heavy rain fell on the deserted island, but it suddenly stopped by noon. The intense sunlight shone on the snow, which melted at a visible speed.

On this day, most of the snow melted, and the ground was littered with corpses.

The day after the heavy rain, Lu Wuyai led the woman out of the cave.

It's May now. The weather used to be a bit warm, not as cold as it is now.

"It rained heavily yesterday, and most of the snow has melted." Jin Xilu sighed. The cold winter was destined to pass, and she didn't know what would happen next.

But miraculously, a layer of short green grass grew on the land that was exposed to the air again, looking exceptionally tender and full of life.

As usual, everyone went to the cowshed and found a body near the fence.

“He died last night,” Su Xi asked.

Gu Yuxin shook her head: "It must have frozen to death in the snow and then been buried in the snow. Now that the snow has melted, it has been exposed."

Lu Wuyai dragged the body off the fence and found many other corpses along the way. Their bodies were as cold as popsicles, and some even looked like zombies, with only skin and bones remaining.

Back and forth, Lu Wuyai found more than twenty corpses piled together, which looked extremely gruesome.

"So many people around us have died." Su Xi looked very sad. Among the corpses were some young boys and girls. They were all very young.

Lu Wuyai burned diesel fuel on the corpse and then set it on fire, burning it to ashes.

"Wash your hands with alcohol." Gu Yuxin took out a spray bottle from her pocket and sprayed it on everyone's palms.

The corpses contain many bacteria, and now that the weather is gradually warming up, it is the season when viruses spread rapidly.

Afterwards, Jin Xilu and the others cleaned the cowshed, while Lu Wuyai led the others to rearrange the traps along the fence.

Now that the snow has gone, the old traps must be rearranged.

As for the bamboo forest, Su Xi and the others discovered that the three large brown bears that had disappeared in the winter had reappeared.

Considering there were traps in the chicken coop, Lu Wuyai used steel bars to surround the coop to prevent the large brown bear from eating all the bamboo inside.

Of course, Lu Wuyai left a door in the chicken coop, but he could enter at any time to observe the situation at the entrance.
