Yu Li nodded. Pregnancy is risky, and on a deserted island with poor sanitation, the probability of an accident is high.

However, at this moment, Lu Wuyai thought of the operating table that Gu Yuxin had mentioned before. It seemed that he really had to bring it over to put Youli at ease.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine." Lu Wuyai told You Li about what happened on the operating table, which eased her anxiety a little.

Of course, by evening, after everyone had eaten the green berries and regained their night vision, they drove their own vehicles and sped towards the cruise ship.

The car drove very fast the whole way without stopping.

Meanwhile, those who remained in the cave were clearing out the laboratory to prepare for the upcoming operating room.

Gu Yuxin stayed in the cave and gave Youli a half-hearted, unprofessional full-body check-up, but found nothing wrong for the time being.

“Yuri, your skin has gotten so much better since you got pregnant,” Morroy said enviously.

Yu-Li also noticed that, apart from the stretch marks on her stomach, the rest of her skin was glowing.

“Maybe I’m having a girl,” Su Xi said from the side.

"I hope he gets healthy."

......

Around noon, three black SUVs stopped beneath the cruise ship. Lu Wuyai got out of one of the cars and noticed that the rope that had been hanging from the side of the ship that morning was still there.

Ten minutes later, Lu Wuyai brought Su Xi and Ouyang Qing to the deck, while the others waited below the ship to receive the goods.

This time, their most important task was to bring the operating table back safely.

Open the shipping container and look at the machines wrapped in layers; they seem to be bigger than a car.

Fortunately, this machine is made up of parts, so many of the components are not very large after disassembly.

Soon, Lu Wuyai and the others began moving what was probably the most advanced operating table they had ever seen.

On the deck, Su Xi and Gu Yuxin were throwing blankets off the ship, preparing to take some buffer measures.

After a day of wind and rain, the hemp rope had become very stiff, like two steel ropes, covered with smooth ice crystals.

“It’s no use,” Su Xi said. “The rope is too slippery; there’s no way to slow it down.”

Lu Wuyai realized this was impossible. After thinking about it, he figured the parts weren't too heavy anyway. The best solution was to use pulleys to remove them directly and let the people below handle it.

Gu Yuxin had made a pulley system before, and he originally thought he wouldn't know how to use it, but now it seems to be just right.

Lu Wuyai walked into the cabin, followed by Su Xi.

"This is where you've lived for four months," Su Xi said curiously, looking at the things inside.

"Yes, we're trapped here. If it weren't for Gu Yuxin, we might have frozen to death," Lu Wuyai said, still shaken.

Lu Wuyai walked to a corner, picked up the pulley on the ground, and reached the ship's side again as quickly as possible.

Soon, Su Xi and Gu Yuxin began using pulleys and ropes to slowly throw the supplies onto the ice.

As he spoke, Lu Wuyai was still carefully disassembling the operating table. The components were incredibly tight, far more complex than he had imagined. "I really don't know how Gu Yuxin invented it back then."

After nearly an hour of dismantling, only a skeleton remained in front of Lu Wuyai.

There was no way to disassemble the skeleton further, so Lu Wuyai could only move it out of the container as a whole.

"It's so big." Both of them were taken aback when they saw the large frame of the machine.

Lu Wuyai let out a sigh of relief. This chassis was indeed very large, even larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​a car.

Looking up, Lu Wuyai felt a little dizzy. There were electrical connections on the frame; it couldn't be damaged.

"Let me do it."

Lu Wuyai was incredibly strong. He clamped his feet on the ship's side, pulled the frame with both hands, and lifted it off the deck.

Then, the rope was tightly wound around one end of the frame, passed through the pulley, and slowly lowered. Throughout the entire process, Lu Wuyai remained standing by the boat. Because the pulley system couldn't support such a large frame, Lu Wuyai had to act as a support for the pulley.

Finally, Lu Wuyai breathed a sigh of relief the moment the skeleton landed. Back on deck, he continued to move other supplies.

There were also some thermal weapons that had to be taken on this trip. If there was any space left, Lu Wuyai thought of some children's supplies, such as formula and diapers.

"One day I really will be a father." Lu Wuyai shook his head, feeling very happy. At that moment, he was filled with boundless anticipation and worry.

In the tense atmosphere, Lu Wuyai opened the container and began to move the milk powder into it.

And so, for the next few days, apart from sleeping for six hours, Lu Wuyai and his companions spent the rest of their time traveling between the two places.

Until one day, the caves and other spaces could no longer hold anything, and Lu Wuyai had to stop.

"You continue moving supplies, I'll stay here to create space," Lu Wuyai said to Su Xi and the others.

Recently, there have been fewer and fewer ice crystals. Occasionally, strong winds blow, but the ice crystals they stir up are not as numerous as before.

Lu Wuyai thought that the frozen sea might melt soon, and before that, the survivors on the deserted island or the assassins who escaped from the cruise ship might come to the cruise ship.

These past few days, they've mostly chosen to operate at night.

Lu Wuyai spent two days digging two holes the size of basketball courts. While Jin Xilu and Xia Qingming began applying cement, he also left Shishan with several women.

In the blink of an eye, they were on the cruise ship, continuing to load and unload supplies.

If they were to actually clear out these nearly 10,000 containers, it would take at least two months. Lu Wuyai could only choose what was most important to them.

But on that very day, the ice storm suddenly intensified, and their cars broke down one after another on the road.

“Oh, numbers,” Lu Wuyai muttered to himself.

Outside, howling ice crystals pounded against the car, making a loud noise.

Lu Wuyai got out of the car and called the other two drivers out as well, and they all hid in the same car.

Su Xi and Gu Yuxin both felt uneasy. The ice storm outside was too intense; the car wouldn't start, and the temperature was dropping lower and lower.

Lu Wuyai promptly opened the trunk, found a box of warm clothes, and told the two women to change into them quickly.

Su Xi and Gu Yuxin exchanged glances. Although both of them had had intimate relationships with Lu Wuyai, this was the first time they had changed clothes in front of each other.

However, after feeling the increasingly cold temperature, the women decisively took off their coats and started putting on clothes.

Looking at the two vibrant corpses before him, Lu Wuyai couldn't help but swallow hard.

After quickly changing their clothes, the three of them sat in the driver's seat, looking out at the raging storm. For a moment, they didn't know what to do.

"Why has the ice storm suddenly gotten bigger again?" Lu Wuyai took a breath, looked at the scene outside, and pondered what to do.

"Otherwise, we'll run back to Shishan."

"Warm clothes can keep you warm for up to an hour. If you run at full speed, you won't be able to reach that rocky mountain in an hour."

"The most troublesome thing is changing clothes. There's nowhere to change clothes in the middle."

Lu Wuyai frowned. In the end, he could only think of one solution: to push the car forward.

"It seems this is the only way." Su Xi and Gu Yuxin looked at each other, unable to think of a better solution.

"Then let's move the supplies to other vehicles." Lu Wuyai and the others immediately got out of the vehicle and moved the goods to save the effort of pushing the vehicle.

Ten minutes later, the three of them continued on their way. Lu Wuyai pushed the bike in front to control the direction, while Su Xi and Gu Yuxin pushed hard from behind.

And so, an hour passed. The three of them stopped, got into the car, changed their clothes, and continued pushing the cart.

During this time, the ice storm continued to rage across the deserted island. The terrifyingly low temperatures were like the Grim Reaper, reaping lives, leaving corpses everywhere in their wake.

Lu Wuyai took a breath, feeling a stinging sensation along with the mask.

People should speak as little as possible outside the car. Fortunately, during this time, everyone always followed a fixed route. There were obvious tire tracks along the way. If you follow the car signs, you should be able to reach the rocky hill.

And so, another hour passed.

The vehicles significantly slowed their movement, but there was a silver lining: the ice storm was always on the way.

Lu Wuyai and the others went back into the carriage. After changing their clothes, they quickly came out and rushed towards Shi Qiu as fast as they could.

In the early hours of the morning, they saw a forest and realized that the rocky mountain was on the other side.

“Run over here and park the car here first,” Lu Wuyai said.

Afterwards, the three stumbled and fell all the way, and finally escaped into the cave when their last set of warm clothing became ineffective.

Lu Wuyai led Su Xi and Gu Yuxin back to the tomb chamber. After closing the iron door, he leaned against the wall, panting.

The two women also collapsed to the ground. It took them a long time to get up again and stagger back into the cave.

At this moment, those who were still asleep looked at Su Xi, Gu Yuxin, and Lu Wuyai who had finally appeared... After asking around, they learned what had happened.

“Luckily you came back in time,” Kim Seok-rok said softly. They were just wondering why they hadn’t seen him for so long; it turned out that another ice storm had started outside.

Lu Wuyai sighed and said, "Those three cars are probably all destroyed. I need to prepare three new solar panels. When the weather is good, I will drive them back."

Soon, only Gu Yuxin was left in the cave to take care of Rou Rou, and the others gradually fell asleep.

......

Early the next morning, Lu Wuyai opened the cave door and looked at the ice crystals that filled the outside world. It seemed he wouldn't be able to get out today.

Back in the cave, Lu Wuyai went to Su Xi's private room and found that she was already awake, with a pair of alluring eyes, and she reached out to hug Lu Wuyai's neck.

"I had a nightmare last night." Yuri rested her head against Lu Wuyai's chest, feeling his warmth, and her cheeks flushed.

Lu Wuyai smiled and said, "Dreams are always the opposite of reality. Don't worry, you're pregnant now, so you should think more about the good things."

"Yes, I know. During those months, if I had nothing to do, I would read books."

Su Xi pointed to her pillow, and Lu Wuyai then noticed that the bedside table was full of books, there were intermittent lights, and there was also a separate generator and heater in the cubicle.

"It seems Su Xi and Xia Qingming have taken good care of you." Lu Wuyai said, gently rubbing the woman's smooth back with one hand, seemingly reluctant to let go.

Su Xi said in a low voice, "To be precise, it's Su Xi, she's not bad."

What are you thinking?

Lu Wuyai blinked, understanding what Yuli meant. He had several women with whom he had good relationships, and she meant how to manage those relationships.

"I don't know either," Lu Wuyai said honestly.

Youli sighed, touched her belly, and felt a bit resentful towards Lu Wuyai.

"You have to try to take care of us."

"don’t worry."

At this moment, Lu Wuyai remembered the perilous peak where he had once lived and decided to go and see it for himself after the ice crystal storm passed, because he had heard that pregnant women could recover by eating bird's nest.

Feeling Lu Wuyai's concern, Youli felt a little sleepy again, so she hugged Lu Wuyai and fell asleep without realizing it.

After Su Xi fell asleep, Lu Wuyai slowly got up and turned on the nearby generator and heater to keep the temperature inside the carriage within a suitable range.

Soon, Lu Wuyai led some women out of the cave and into a world of flying ice crystals, heading towards the cowshed.

The new underground space is near the cowshed. Since they can't leave for the time being, Lu Wuyai and the others plan to continue expanding the area of ​​the cave entrance to store more things.

To prevent the space from collapsing due to its immense size, the entire process was reinforced with steel bars. Some of these items were collected previously and are now being used here.

After working until evening, everyone left and returned to the cave to rest.

Compared to the daytime, the ice crystals were significantly weaker at night. At this rate, the ice crystal storm might disappear again tomorrow.

"Sigh, when will this extreme weather end?" Su Xi sighed as well.

Before we knew it, the next day arrived, and a rare glimmer of blue appeared in the hazy sky.

There was no wind, and no ice crystals. When Lu Wuyai saw this scene through the periscope, his heart suddenly brightened.

Turning around, he told the other women in the cave that Lu Wuyai was preparing to set off again; he was going to race against time with nature.

“The ice storm should be completely over,” Gu Yuxin said.

However, the air temperature remained very cold. There was a thick layer of ice crystals on the ground. When people walked on it, the cold air could penetrate their bodies through the soles of their shoes.

"It's too cold."

Lu Wuyai took a breath. Behind him were five women: Su Xi, Gu Yuxin, Gu Yuxin, and Gu Yuxinyi. They held several solar panels, preparing to use the new energy to replace the previously unusable car.

As you walk along, you can enjoy the scenery of the deserted island.

Soon, Lu Wuyai switched to the first vehicle. After starting it, there were no problems, and he led everyone forward.

On the way, I found the two cars that had broken down before and replaced their batteries. They were still driving without any problems.

Along the way, everyone quickly arrived near the cruise ship.

Lu Wuyai immediately climbed onto the deck. He wasn't sure if anyone was there, so he was careful not to let anyone else come up.

The two ropes were still there, and the pulley system was left lying on the ground, seemingly untouched.

After looking around, Lu Wuyai did not find anyone else.

So quickly, Lu Wuyai pulled out a small booklet from his pocket, which recorded the contents of all the containers. Several containers had been wiped clean, meaning their contents had been emptied.

"Next should be fuel," Lu Wuyai muttered to himself.

There are five fuel tanks on the deck. Although it seems like a lot, five containers is actually a very small number compared to nearly ten thousand containers.

For example, there are hundreds of boxes of rice. There are also 500 containers of fresh water, so these resources are relatively abundant.

In contrast, snacks and meat were relatively scarce, with only about 20 containers in total. Over four months, Lu Wuyai and his group consumed several containers.

Soon, Lu Wuyai started moving boxes and called Gu Yuxin up.

Using ropes and pulleys, the loading and unloading speed was not very fast; it took 20 minutes to fill all three parking spaces.

Of course, the fuel tank is quite large, so even if it's compact, there are still gaps. Therefore, the remaining space was filled with some edible meat and snacks.

Seeing that it was still early, Lu Wuyai remembered that there were still quite a few vehicles in the alley. There were five of them this time, and they could take two vehicles with them.

The hydraulic forklift was still usable, and Lu Wuyai quickly lifted out a medium-sized pickup truck. However, while using ropes, it fell too fast, causing a quarter of the truck to fall to the ground.

"It's still usable, but it's a bit of a mess like this," Lu Wuyai said awkwardly.

Without heavy lifting equipment, acquiring these vehicles really depends on luck.

Finally, Gu Yuxin came up with a solution: she placed many pieces of iron on the rope as a barrier. As the car slid down, its speed stabilized at a certain frequency, causing continuous collisions.

So Lu Wuyai placed two small trucks in succession, loaded them with some fuel and fresh meat, and then drove the vehicles away from the cruise ship.

Since the ice crystal storm disappeared on that day, the sky has been blue and white for several days, but the temperature in the air has continued to drop.

"The ice and snow are melting; this is the coldest time of year," Gu Yuxin said worriedly. "I think you need to be careful every time you leave. If the ice melts, you might be in danger."

Lu Wuyai nodded. He was also observing the thickness of the ice layer. He couldn't see any problems these past few days; they were indeed racing against time.

The supplies brought over the past few days were piled up near the cowshed. The women arranged them according to their consumption rate and added some iron shelves.

Lu Wuyai and Su Xi even went to a nearby beach. There were some abandoned shipping containers there. After cleaning them up, they were still quite clean. Using them to store fuel would be no problem.

The boxes were neatly stacked in the hole, like an unconventional cruise ship.

“Actually, this is not bad. We can bring back more containers and stack them together. They will look very clean,” Gu Yuxin said.

In fact, pouring cement into this huge hole and then stacking containers on top of it is quite neat.

However, due to limited tools, these containers can only be stacked up to three layers high, and there is no way to stack them any higher.

After leaving the cave, Lu Wuyai and the others rushed towards the cruise ship without stopping. Along the way, they could see several large dogs running behind the vehicles, their movements as strong as horses.
