Yu Yuxia walked over and reached out to hit Lu Wuyai, but he dodged it.

"What are you doing?" Lu Wuyai said unhappily.

"It's been two days, you should go to work."

Yu Yuxia pointed to the bamboo that had been burned to charcoal. In the past day and two nights, all the bamboo had been eaten.

At nine o'clock in the morning, this time Lu Wuyai only took Yu Mengru and Song Xiaoyou with him. The three of them followed the familiar mountain path and arrived at the familiar bamboo forest before noon.

The bamboo grove is still the same bamboo grove. When the midday sun shines on the verdant bamboo joints, it seems as if a layer of light mist is rising.

"It's so beautiful," Gu Yuxin sighed.

But the next second, the three of them took action, their target being the largest bamboo in the vicinity.

Although the bamboo sections could be used as containers for boiling water, they were quickly consumed. Within a day and two nights, the first three bamboo stalks were all eaten.

As Lu Wuyai sawed bamboo, he said, "If we have time, let's find some clay and make some pottery jars. This bamboo grove is still too far from the rocky mountain."

"You're saying that where there's only clay, there should generally be water." Yu Yuxin rolled her eyes. "Before thinking about finding a water source, you might as well come here to cut bamboo."

“But what if the bamboo disappears? These bamboos will eventually run out,” Lu Wuyai said immediately.

As a result, the atmosphere suddenly became completely silent.

They had been living on the deserted island for some time, and they had essentially accepted the idea of ​​continuing to live there, but deep down, everyone wanted to leave.

Especially with Qin Feiming's recent arrival, he told them that perhaps other rescue team members were searching for them in the nearby waters.

The hope of getting out seemed to be right in front of us again, within reach.

Lu Wuyai shook his head and said, "Let's take it one step at a time."

At this point, Song Xiaoyou had already pushed the bamboo down, and a loud crash echoed through the nearby forest.

"Was that too much?" Yu Yuxia stood up and wiped the sweat from her forehead. The bright sunlight shone on her, and her beautiful face made it hard to believe she was almost 28 years old.

"What does that mean?" Lu Wuyai continued chopping wood, and soon his bamboo fell down.

"However, if the movement is too large, it could cause some trouble in the forest."

Upon hearing this, Lu Wuyai looked around but didn't think much of it, though his men moved much faster.

The spiked saw rubbed against the bamboo, and the bamboo with its nodes was immediately put into the life-saving bag.

But soon, Lu Wuyai felt that the bamboo forest had become unusually quiet. Apart from the sound of the saw grinding, all the chirping of insects and birds seemed to have disappeared.

"I'll go take a look. You guys go ahead with your work."

Lu Wuyai had only taken a few steps when a clear sound of footsteps came from the bamboo forest, growing faster and faster.

"What? There are other people too."

Lu Wuyai took a breath, holding a saw in his hand, or more precisely, a saw shaped like a sickle.

The bamboo forest was incredibly dense. As the footsteps drew closer, Lu Wuyai's heart began to race. Not far away, Song Xiaoyou and Yu Yuxia straightened their backs, their eyes filled with confusion.

As a result, under Lu Wuyai's gaze, two figures suddenly jumped out of the bamboo forest and bumped right into him.

Having prepared himself mentally, Lu Wuyai swayed and took a few steps back before regaining his balance.

As for the other two, one was pushed away by Lu Wuyai, dropping everything he was holding. The remaining two looked panicked and simply turned and ran.

"You're Liu Gongming's man." Lu Wuyai looked at the person lying in the bamboo forest. He felt the face looked familiar, and only now did he realize that he was the bastard next to Liu Gongming. Back then, I was still clamoring for a good look. Why was I so terrified?

Looking at the thing on the ground, I realized it was a large honeycomb, dripping with golden honey.

"Good heavens, how big is it? How big is a complete beehive?"

Lu Wuyai sighed with emotion, and suddenly there was another commotion in the bamboo forest.

The next second, a tall figure rushed out; it was Liu Gongming.

“It’s you.”

“It’s you.”

When Lu Wuyai looked at Liu Gongming, he immediately became angry. He glanced into the depths of the bamboo forest, then kicked him hard.

Something was clearly chasing the group in the bamboo forest.

Liu Gongming dodged nimbly; his skills didn't look like those of someone in their forties.

"Lu Wuyai, be careful!" Gu Yuxin called out quickly.

It turned out that Liu Gongming not only did not leave, but also took advantage of the moment when Lu Wuyai missed his kick to grab a beehive on the ground and smear the honey on Lu Wuyai's body.

Not on your clothes, but on your bare neck.

At this moment, Lu Wuyai could feel the sticky honey slowly sticking to his chest and back as it ran down his neck.

"Good luck." Liu Gongming smiled, his face was disgusting.

After saying this, Liu Gongming threw away the beehives, turned around, and ran straight into the woods. From the other side of the bamboo grove, the rustling sound grew closer.

Lu Wuyai had a bad idea and quickly stood up, saying, "Don't worry about the bamboo, grab the saw and let's go."

"But we went through a lot of trouble to see the bamboo." Gu Yuxin was a little reluctant to leave. After all, what had happened was still somewhat inexplicable.

"Stop complaining, hurry up."

For a moment, Lu Wuyai felt unwell because of the honey, and the vibrating bamboo forest immediately fell silent. A strong sense of unease made the three of them retreat.

Something terrible seems to be about to appear in the bamboo forest.

"Song Xiaoyou, take Yu Yuxin and leave quickly."

"Um"

In the blink of an eye, the three of them had run out of the bamboo forest. As they turned around again, a huge creature with bared teeth charged at them.

"Black Bear"

"It's a black bear."

At that moment, Lu Wuyai's expression changed drastically. It turned out he was chasing a large black bear.

But after realizing that his body hadn't had time to digest the honey, Lu Wuyai became even angrier at Liu Gongming's actions.

This guy must have stolen the chicken but lost the rice. He angered the black bear for the sake of honey.

"Damn Liu Gongming."

"You actually used me as a backup option."

"What should we do? The black bear is running so fast, should we play dead?" The moment Yu Yuxia saw the black bear, her face turned pale and her legs began to tremble.

"No way." Song Xiaoyou remained calm and quickly said, "Black bears are different from brown bears. Black bears eat scavengers, so playing dead won't work."

"Climbing a tree?" Lu Wuyai ran desperately, but the black bear behind him seemed to have a motor, and his speed was getting faster and faster.

Song Xiaoyou shook her head, panting heavily: "Forget about the other bears, but now it's a black bear, maybe it can climb faster than you."

"Depends on".

This won't work, that won't work, Lu Wuyai was going crazy with anxiety.

However, Lu Wuyai noticed that Song Xiaoyou stopped stumbling under these circumstances. It was possible she wasn't nervous at all.

Seeing that the black bear was about to catch up with them, Lu Wuyai gritted his teeth and said, "You run first, I'll take you with me."

“No, Lu Wuyai.” Yu Yuxia’s eyes reddened, and she shook her head.

"Damn Liu Gongming, he smeared honey all over me, and now I don't even have time to stop and wash it off." Lu Wuyai gritted his teeth in anger, vowing that if he survived, he would find Liu Gongming and take revenge.

"Come on, you'll kill me."

Finally, Lu Wuyai glanced at Song Xiaoyou and Yu Yuxin, then suddenly turned a corner in the woods and ran towards another grove of trees.

At that moment, Lu Wuyai could no longer hear what Yu Yuxia said afterward. He was simply absorbed in the process of traversing the forest, deliberately choosing some unfamiliar paths.

"I remember that black bears don't have very good eyesight, but their sense of smell and hearing are very sensitive."

Lu Wuyai reached out and smeared some honey on his chest, then put it in his mouth. He tasted a sweet flavor and thought to himself, "The games in the forest are indeed different from those in the big city."

But before he could savor the moment, a terrifying noise came from behind him.

The black bear's speed reached its peak in an instant, and Lu Wuyai could feel death approaching in the air.

With a snap.

Lu Wuyai watched in horror as the black bear's unintentional strike smashed a tree trunk as thick as his arm into pieces.

"If this had hit me, it wouldn't have resulted in a direct fracture."

Driven by the will to survive, Lu Wuyai ran away and plunged headlong into the dark forest.

At the same time, Lu Wuyai also realized that if he didn't clean the honey off his body, he would probably not escape the black bear's pursuit today.

However, Lu Wuyai dared not take off his clothes in the forest because he did not know if there were leeches nearby.

Just as he was running, Lu Wuyai was startled by a familiar green command in front of him.

Why did you run back to the bamboo forest?

Lu Wuyai glanced down at the beehive, grabbed it, and threw it directly at the black bear behind him, hoping to buy some time or even force it to give up its "pursuit."

But in fact, black bears seem to be more interested in living things.

"Damn Liu Gongming."

Lu Wuyai was almost in tears. Not only was his strength rapidly declining, but his lungs were also painful and swollen, making it impossible for him to run very far.

When he finally ran out of the bamboo forest, Lu Wuyai dared not stop and could only continue running forward.

This time, he unexpectedly discovered a mud pit. His eyes lit up, and he immediately rolled around in the mud, getting covered in mud from head to toe.

Why is there a person in this mud?

Lu Wuyai trembled with fear. After taking a look, he noticed that the other man's chest was dented and had obvious scratches. He likely belonged to Liu Gongming, but he had been killed instantly after being slapped in the chest by a black bear.

As this man lay dying, his eyes widened in anger, and he looked extremely sad and furious. His eyes remained glaring even as he breathed his last.

After a while, Lu Wuyai noticed that the black bear was chasing him again. He immediately turned around and ran around in the bamboo forest, trying to shake off the pursuit.

Perhaps the black bear was tired too. At some point, Lu Wuyai noticed that the bamboo forest had become very quiet.

Lu Wuyai dared not move, hiding to the side and trying not to make a sound.

The black bear couldn't see him, and his scent was probably masked by the mud. Lu Wuyai thought he might be able to escape successfully.

Half an hour later, the distant roar of a bear could be faintly heard. Lu Wuyai carefully pushed open the bamboo forest and went out.

But just a few steps away, Lu Wuyai took another step back, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

Why is this black bear eating honey here?

Lu Wuyai's hands and feet went numb, and he sat down on the ground with a thud. Across from this bamboo forest, the black bear hadn't left at all. At this moment, it was licking the honey flowing from the beehive, huffing and puffing as it replenished its energy.

"It seems the bear roars we heard earlier weren't from this black bear. This deserted island is really unsafe."

Lu Wuyai thought for a while, then bent down and came back, slowly walking out of the bamboo forest, trying not to touch the bamboo.

Fortunately, nothing happened this time. Lu Wuyai stood in the forest, smelling his own scent, a look of disgust on his face.

"It was a near-death experience. I wonder if I'll be so lucky next time."

It's 3 PM now. We need to head back to Shiqiu. It'll probably be 9 PM by then, and the road might not be safe.

But if he didn't go back, Lu Wuyai worried that the other party would come looking for him, which would be even more troublesome.

After thinking for a long time, he decided to rush back, hoping to meet them on the way.

At 3:30, he finally emerged from the bamboo forest. Looking back, he could still see a black bear sitting on the ground, eating the last bit of beehive.

Next to the black bear, three life-saving kits lay on the ground. Lu Wuyai shook his head, thinking he would have to go again tomorrow.

"I hope this black bear won't hurt them."

It's worth noting that the team only had four life-saving kits, and now three of them are gone, which is quite disheartening.

On the way back, Lu Wuyai practically ran. Even though he was exhausted, he gritted his teeth and chased after them.

When it was completely dark, the forest was pitch black. Lu Wuyai could only rely on some traces to find his way back, which greatly increased the time it would take to walk.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Wuyai saw some flickering lights in the darkness, instinctively picked up his axe, and hid to the side.

The flashlight beam drew closer, and Lu Wuyai vaguely heard someone calling him.

So he took off the whistle from around his neck and blew it a few times.

"Lu Wuyai, come out quickly."

That was Yu Yuxin's voice, anxious yet filled with irresistible joy.

Lu Wuyai walked out, utterly exhausted. When he saw these people, all the energy he had painstakingly brought up was gone, and his body became weak.

Yu Yuxia quickly supported him, but for a man weighing over 100 pounds, she could carry him anywhere she wanted.

As a result, Lu Wuyai and Yu Yuxin fell directly to the ground. Yu Yuxia was squeezed and gasped for breath, but the strange feeling in her chest immediately made her furious.

"Lu Wuyai, you're too foolish."

With a snap.

A slap jolted Lu Wuyai awake. He looked down at his palm and realized he was climbing to the top of a mountain...

"It's a misunderstanding."

Lu Wuyai jumped up and stood up. He wasn't embarrassed at all about being slapped.

After all, when you're facing life and death, everything else is trivial.

Yu Mengru was furious. She stomped her foot hard, turned around, and her eyes were filled with inexplicable tears.

At this point, Su Xi urged, "If there's nothing else, leave quickly. Yu Yuxin and Song Xiaoyou are almost frantic because of you."

"This is a life-saving bag."

"Let's talk about it tomorrow. Maybe it's still there, or maybe it's gone." Lu Wuyai shook his head and, using the light of his flashlight, finally arrived at the foot of the stone mountain at eight o'clock.

After a quick wash, Lu Wuyai could no longer hold on and lay down on a large rock. He closed his eyes and fell asleep immediately.

Su Xi stayed by the campfire. Yu Yuxia came down from the rocky hill, her eyes still red. The others had already begun to rest, and the night was exceptionally quiet.

Su Xi glanced at Yu Yuxia, thought for a moment, and said, "What happened to you today."

"What's wrong?" Yu Yuxia was in a bad mood, hugging her knees, feeling very tired.

"Lu Wuyai, I think you like him..."

Before Su Xi could finish speaking, Yu Yuxia raised her eyebrows: "I like him. It seems he's just a child."

"You brat." Su Xi added a piece of wood to the campfire. "He's not young anymore... How long do you want us to stay here?"

"I don't know." Yu Yuxia shook her head, seemingly not wanting to dwell on the topic any longer, and took the initiative to ask, "Then, Qin Feiming, have you seen what he's been doing these past few days?"

“Mediocre.” Su Xi turned her head and noticed that Qin Feiming was sleeping far away, then said, “I always felt that his leg injury wasn’t that serious.”

His leg injury was already present when he first met Qin Feiming.

He said he was injured when the rescue helicopter exploded.

The so-called "hundred-day injury" on his leg would take three months to heal in the city. Now, deep in the mountains, without medicine, that time would be greatly prolonged, and it might even be impossible to cure.

Su Xi said in a low voice, "I asked him today if he wanted me to help clean his wound, but he refused outright."

"But perhaps he has his own ideas."

"Maybe, but if it really is a rescue team, we should be able to go back." Su Xi's words were tinged with a sigh.

Song Xiao did not nod, her expression remained calm.

"Hehe, your personality is really..." Su Xi glanced at her, shook her head, and then climbed up the rocky hill, carefully looking around at the surrounding forest.

That night, the forest was quiet, and everyone gradually became familiar with the occasional roar.

The next day, Lu Wuyai got up very early and, with Yu Mengru and Song Xiaoyou, continued their journey into the bamboo forest.

Yesterday, because of the black bear, we not only failed to bring back the bamboo, but also left three survival kits there.

"Did we encounter another black bear today?"

On the way, Yu Yuxia was still a little worried.

"Don't be so arrogant. Lu Wuyai said he was dissatisfied, but now he's encountered another black bear. What is he going to do?"

Around noon, they arrived safely near the bamboo forest, carrying weapons and proceeding cautiously.

But after searching around, no one found the survival kit. Instead, they discovered many fresh footprints nearby.

Lu Wuyai sighed. It seemed someone had found the life-saving kit.

“It must be Liu Gongming and his group,” Yu Mengru said firmly.

A survival kit can serve not only as a container but also as overnight shelter, protecting you from being attacked on a deserted island.
