Soon, a group of women appeared in the cave at the foot of the rocky mountain. They were holding various weapons and nervously watching the situation outside through a periscope.

After arriving at the cave, everyone immediately found Su Xi, who was controlling the periscope with great concentration.

Gu Yuxin said to the others, "Let's take a look. It's very likely that those evil guests have arrived."

Soon, two teams were formed, each searching for the person under the periscope.

Su Xi observed for a long time. Her target was the survivors in the forest. As for the others, she searched the rocky hill 360 degrees, focusing on the area near the waterhole.

"It seems this group still can't find a water source," Su Xi said. Although the deserted island is very large, the places with actual water sources are very few and far between.

Did you see anyone?

"Not yet, the other party must be very cautious."

Apart from the people Su Xi initially saw in the forest, no one else has been found yet.

Xia Qingming and Song Xiaoyou began operating the camera hidden in the forest to capture the surrounding scene.

The lens does not offer night vision, so all visible targets are close-up shots.

Near the pool, Song Xiaoyou was also observing. She was controlling a land patrol robot, which was parked on a gentle slope.

The moonlight was obscured by clouds, making visibility blurry.

At this moment, everyone knew that they were fighting for their own patience.

"Do you want something to eat?" Gu Yuxin asked. After all, it was two in the morning. It was normal to feel hungry after waking up suddenly.

“Okay, give me some potato chips.” Su Xi said, while still keeping an eye on the periscope.

Yu Mengrou asked the others, then left for a while. When she returned, she was holding a plastic box filled with snacks.

The night is long; whoever takes it seriously first loses.

So, everyone ate snacks together and chatted occasionally, and before they knew it, an hour had passed.

Suddenly, Xia Qingming noticed that the dim camera went dark for a few seconds, as if something had passed by.

“There is one possibility,” Xia Qingming promptly pointed out.

Soon, Su Xi also spotted a figure. This time her vision was very clear, because a sliver of moonlight fell on a large tree, revealing a pair of black shoes.

"Sisters, stand up!" Su Xi said excitedly, covering her mouth.

"Keep your voice down."

"Prepare each one."

As expected, the other side arrived, and they were well-prepared. Song Xiaoyou saw from the pool that some people were holding some kind of special machine, somewhat like a mine detector.

Click it.

With a crisp sound, a bear trap was triggered from the air and exposed to the elements.

Next, several more traps were discovered, but almost none of them were animal traps or ordinary rope traps.

"If this continues, things will become difficult to handle." Su Xi took a breath and asked for everyone's opinion.

Finally, they detonated the bomb they had planted under the rocks, blowing the entire rocky hill, including the pool, to pieces.

number

In the firelight, someone roared. Their goal was a water source, but now the pool was submerged in their sight, and the water source was destined to cease to exist.

Only Su Xi and the others knew that this pool was just an underground river that emerged from the ground, and the real water source was hidden beneath this stone mountain.

As they watched the pool being destroyed, the group's faces grew increasingly grim. They retreated into the forest, but did not leave immediately.

Through the periscope, Tang Xin and the others kept a close eye on the group's movements.

As the fire gradually died down, darkness returned to the surroundings.

Five periscopes were used to observe the forest from different locations, while cameras hidden in the bushes were also locking onto the target.

Inside the cave, the women whispered among themselves, asking what to do next.

"Let's take a look first," Gu Yuxin said, then she opened her backpack and took out some sealed test tubes. The contents were volatile machine gun anesthetic.

"If they force their way in, crush these things."

Everyone nodded. Before leaving the container cave, they all put on gas masks. In fact, they were vaguely anticipating the other side's attack.

Finally, until dawn, those evil guests did not reappear. The rocky hill was a mess, marked by gunshots everywhere.

Just as everyone was preparing to clean up the scene, fierce barking suddenly rang out from the forest.

Woof woof woof woof.

The women looked up, followed the sound, and finally saw a wolfhound chasing a man in a black trench coat near the burial site.

"It's them," Su Xi said with a hint of excitement, though she felt a little nervous inside.

That black trench coat belonged to those nasty patrons from last night. Unexpectedly, one of them was now fighting alone. Moreover, the other side didn't seem to have any firearms; his attack relied entirely on a long knife.

At this moment, the wolfhound was fiercely chasing its opponent, giving him no chance to escape.

Nowadays, every wolf is so huge that a bad tourist is no problem at all.

However, her opponent's longsword was too sharp, and the speed of the attack was extremely fast—far beyond what a normal person could do. Especially during the attack, the sharp-eyed Song Xiaoyou noticed something seemingly spreading along her opponent's neck.

Spit it.

In the forest, a black dog leaped out. Its sharp claws tore open its opponent's back, revealing a large area of ​​bronze skin.

This scene left many women speechless.

His back was covered with a dense network of blue veins, making him look like a blood-sucking leech. It gave me goosebumps and sent chills down my spine.

When the opponent attacks, these blood vessels spread in all directions. What Song Xiaoyou just saw were these strange changes.

Soon, the wolfhound found an opportunity and struck its opponent with its impact.

Song Xiaoyou stepped forward and crushed the test tube in her hand. The liquid spilled onto the other person's face. After a brief struggle, he immediately fell unconscious.

Upon seeing this, everyone immediately moved aside, because these drugs are highly volatile and can spread to the size of a basketball court in just a few seconds.

As for Song Xiaoyou, she managed to put on a gas mask and escape.

A minute later, Gu Yuxin stepped forward, carefully examined the other person's body, drew blood, cut open the skin on the back, and removed a portion of tissue.

"What should he do?" Song Xiaoyou asked, pointing to the person on the ground.

"I'll handle it." After that, Gu Yuxin handed the collected items to Song Xiaoyou and began dragging the person into the forest.

Soon, gunshots rang out, and flocks of birds flew to and fro in the forest.

For a long time now, the people in the cave haven't seen these unwelcome guests again. Perhaps they really thought the pool had been destroyed and there was no reason for them to stay there.

Everyone inside the container cave enjoyed a quiet time.

Lu Wuyai's injuries finally stopped worsening and gradually showed signs of improvement. It is worth mentioning that in the following month, Su Xi successfully underwent marrow cleansing and bone-severing, becoming the second person after Lu Wuyai to do so.

Late that night, Yuli looked at the gray, viscous substance secreted from her pores, and a strong stench filled the air.

"Is this just bone marrow removal and bone cutting?" Su Xi immediately got up and took a shower. When she came out, she realized that her body felt very different than before.

Besides smoother skin, the most important thing is the feeling of relaxation it brings to the body, which makes Yuli realize how heavy her life was nearly thirty years ago.

"I really don't know what it felt like for Lu Wuyai after his bone marrow was cleansed and his bones were cut three times." Su Xi thought of the person who hadn't recovered yet, so she went to the laboratory to take a look.

In the past few days, Lu Wuyai has become very sleepy, even more so than Baozi.

On the hospital bed in the laboratory, Lu Wuyai slept peacefully, his face turned towards the sky. Beside him, Su Xi watched him, lost in her own world.

The next day, Su Xi left the laboratory, intending to share her experience of bone marrow cleansing and bone cutting with others and encourage her companions to practice as soon as possible.

As the morning sun shines through the forest and everything comes back to life, the temperature on the deserted island begins to rise sharply.

"Li, I never expected you to be the first to succeed besides Lu Wuyai." Su Xi looked at Su Xi, her eyes filled with light.

Su Xi smiled and said, "Maybe it's just good luck. Don't be discouraged. Come on."

“Get used to your power, and tell us what it feels like,” Su Xi said enviously.

Su Xi nodded. She was already wearing a jacket, but the loose fabric couldn't hide her good figure. Especially now that she was breastfeeding, her size had doubled.

After recharging, Yuri suddenly jumped up, reaching a height of five meters above the ground. This was just the result of Yuri's initial charge.

Later, Yuli tried again to coordinate her strength and body, and the women outside the forest began to harass her, constantly attacking Yuli with arrows without arrows.

It was only later that it was discovered that Youli's physical condition had more than doubled compared to before, and that the effects continued to influence her body for a period of time after the first bone marrow cleansing and osteotomy. Once it stabilizes, this value will increase further.

“Almost identical to Lu Wuyai’s, the first treatment had the most noticeable effect.” Gu Yuxin looked at the data and said, “I suspect that the subsequent bone marrow cleansing and bone removal might affect other parts of your body, such as your internal organs or brain.”

Recently, Lu Wuyai developed narcolepsy. Gu Yuxin conducted a brain scan on him and found that his brain waves were abnormally active, unlike what a normal person should have.

Soon, they returned to the cave and began a new day.

Lu Wuyai woke up from his sleep and stretched in his hospital bed. He noticed that the pain in his abdomen had significantly lessened. However, when he opened his clothes, he could still see numerous spiderweb-like scars, which were no less than before.

"This injury is going to be very difficult to heal," Lu Wuyai sighed. In fact, he could endure the pain and his basic activities were not a problem.

However, Gu Yuxin and the others refused to let him out. They locked the lab door every day when they left. Counting the time, he hadn't seen the sun for almost half a month.

Fortunately, Su Xi successfully cleansed her marrow and severed her bones today, and Gu Yuxin, unusually, kicked Lu Wuyai out of the laboratory.

Leaving the underground cave, Lu Wuyai smelled the forest air, and his mind felt exceptionally clear and relaxed.

"What a comfortable feeling." Lu Wuyai stretched out his hands and embraced the sun. The golden light shone on him, and he felt really warm.

What's puzzling is that Lu Wuyai found the wound on his lower abdomen to be itchy.

So he lifted his shirt, revealing the spiderweb-like scars on his abdomen. As the sun shone on them, Lu Wuyai felt the marks of those wounds slowly fading away.

"Cold air, sunbathing..." Lu Wuyai seemed to understand something suddenly.

"It's impossible that sunlight will help my wounds heal."

Simply put, Lu Wuyai arrived in front of a large tree, gathered his energy, and leaped into the air, landing directly on the treetop.

"After the third bone marrow cleansing and bone resection, my physical condition did improve again, but not by much."

Soon, Lu Wuyai lay down to rest in the treetop. The sunlight shone down, warming his body, but the sensation in his wounds confirmed his suspicions.

Under the sunlight, the wound on his abdomen was indeed healing, and traces of moisture were even emerging from those purple marks.

"This must be the cold air from before," Lu Wuyai thought to himself. The cold air was hidden in the wound; no wonder it hadn't healed after so many days. These sensations were the cause of the trouble.

Lu Wuyai lay on the canopy of that tree, having taken off all his clothes. The dense scars on his body looked particularly gruesome.

The environment here is very quiet, and occasionally some birds will approach him.

As time went on, the sunlight began to grow stronger. With noon approaching, the glaring light even caused Lu Wuyai a slight pain.

However, he endured it, hoping to take this opportunity to evaporate all the cold air from his wound.

At one o'clock, Lu Wuyai felt parched and his abdominal wound was getting increasingly itchy. He felt an unbearable urge.

Finally, Lu Wuyai scratched his finger, and blood appeared between his fingers.

But at that moment, Lu Wuyai could no longer feel the pain, even though there were still countless cracks in his abdomen.

"Let's dry it tomorrow," Lu Wuyai said, getting up and leaving the tent.

But at that moment, he discovered a huge number of venomous snakes lurking in the treetops, densely packed together. When he stood up, they were all standing straight, poised to attack.

Lu Wuyai swallowed hard, looked around, and found that the nearby trees were the same. These cold-blooded animals used this place as a warm snake bed.

Suddenly, a cobra spat at Lu Wuyai and launched a fierce attack.

Lu Wuyai was quick-witted and nimble-fingered. The moment his opponent attacked, he seized the snake's vital point and grabbed its tail, using it as a whip to lash out at the nearby venomous snakes.

Afterwards, Lu Wuyai gathered his strength and left. Upon landing, he threw the cobra he was holding into the grass and happily returned to the world inside the cave.

......

After dinner, Lu Wuyai was pulled into the laboratory by Gu Yuxin again, and he didn't come out until the next day, feeling refreshed.

Looking back at the woman still sleeping soundly on the bed, Gu Yuxin thought about the madness between the two of them last night and finally told herself that she wanted a child.

It's only six o'clock now, so the early bird catches the worm.

Su Xi carried Rou Rou back and forth in the corridor. The child had entered a period of sleep regression and was prone to waking up early during the day.

Lu Wuyai teased the little guy for a bit, then picked up a sickle and prepared to go to the two rice paddies.

So much has happened lately that everyone has overlooked the rice paddies, where the rice should have been harvested long ago.

Outside rice paddy number 2, Lu Wuyai stopped in the forest. After careful observation, he prepared to open the entrance to the rice paddy.

The entrance is overgrown with weeds, making it difficult for ordinary people to discover its secrets.

But if you look closely, you'll see some golden things among the weeds; those are actually growing rice ears.

"I'm very busy right now." After Lu Wuyai finished speaking, he immediately cleared away the weeds and mud under his feet.

Walking into the rice paddies, the rice ears, which should have been golden, have now turned dark red, and the air is filled with the scent of ripeness.

Lu Wuyai picked some rice, removed the outer husk, and put it in his mouth to chew. It definitely tasted better than machine-steamed rice. The key was that it was very chewy.

"Let's get started."

At this time, the women were still sleeping, while Lu Wuyai was speeding up the harvest, and the rice ears disappeared at a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye.

And so, an hour later, Lu Wuyai had basically cleaned up paddy field number 2 himself. All that was left was to husk the rice, which was naturally left for the women to pass the time.

When Lu Wuyai came out of the cave, it was exactly eight o'clock. The sun was already high in the sky, radiating scorching heat.

"This is the temperature that summer should have."

A large amount of water vapor gradually rose in the forest. When a strong wind blew, it spread in all directions, creating a suffocating feeling wherever it reached.

Inside the container cave, the others gradually awoke. Compared to the outside world, it seemed quite cool here. Even through layers of protective membranes, the cold air escaping from the icy rocks was enough to maintain a comfortable temperature in the underground world.

However, when it's time to sweat, you still have to sweat.

Su Xi brought Wu Jiujiu and Yu Mengrou to meet Lu Wuyai in the garage, and the four of them went to the Deadwood Forest, which they hadn't been to in a long time, to mine.

The black stone played a crucial role. It was one of the substances they depended on for survival. If water was the most important thing, then the black stone was the second most important. Without it, Lu Wuyai and the others would hardly have enough food to live their current, comfortable life.

This morning, while harvesting the rice, Lu Wuyai discovered that some of the black kernels had turned white, significantly reducing their fertilizer-retaining effect. The reserves of black stone are not very large, and Gu Yuxin's research has greatly depleted them.

We drove to the Deadwood Forest. It had been a long time since we arrived, and many things had changed.

The once barren, deadwood forest now resembles an old tree blossoming in spring. Numerous new buds sprout from the withered branches. This so-called new life stands in stark contrast to old age.

The strangest things also happen in this land.

Logically, even the dead trees have sprouted new buds, but the earth itself is still dead. Occasionally, clumps of weeds appear, but they are not friendly to the climate.

The truck drove across the opened waterway, and the four men quickly reached their destination.

The mine was still pitch black, and the size of the vein was unknown.

When he saw the mine, Su Xi suddenly said, "I have a question. Since there are black stones here, why is there no vegetation nearby?"
