Soon, Lu Wuyai, somewhat dazed from the pain, fell into a deep sleep.

For three consecutive days, Lu Wuyai remained in a coma, occasionally waking up and feeling extremely uncomfortable.

That evening, when Yu Yuxin was changing her dressing, Dou Da burst into tears.

Su Xi had just come in from outside when she saw Lu Wuyai's wounds, and her face immediately turned ashen.

The wound had scabbed over and healed two days ago, but now it has become infected again, and it has a strong, foul odor. There is also bruising all around.

"what to do."

Gu Yuxin was completely bewildered. For the entire day, Lu Wuyai hadn't opened his eyes, and was covered in sweat.

Su Xi shook her head. Of all the medicines she was confident she could use, only Qin Feiming's healing powder had been used before. Who knew what the rest were for?

On the other hand, Gu Yuxin also put aside her past willfulness and occasionally kept watch at night.

As for Song Xiaoyou, she left as soon as she saw Lu Wuyai's wound, and no one knows where she is now.

"That depends on his luck." Su Xi looked at Lu Wuyai with complicated emotions; no one knew the turmoil in her heart.

Soon, Yu Yuxia prepared to re-bandage Lu Wuyai's wound.

Just then, Song Xiaoyou suddenly returned, holding a few leaves in his hand. When he opened his eyes, he saw that they were actually several dried-up leeches.

"Use it, use it, try this."

When Yu Yuxia saw the leeches, she was truly terrified, secretly wondering what use they could possibly be. Aren't leeches only for sucking blood?

Su Xi, however, said from the side, "Let's give it a try, we might as well try anything. If the leeches don't work, I'll give all the medicine powder we had before to Lu Wuyai."

"If this continues, the wound will only get worse and worse. By then, the heart and lungs will be so rotten that even a god couldn't save it."

Yu Yuxia nodded, gritted her teeth, and began to carefully apply the leeches to Lu Wuyai's wound.

She used a piece of wood to hold the leech, afraid of hurting Lu Wuyai.

Soon, the leeches began to suck blood, and the swollen wound swelled up at a visible rate.

Seeing this, everyone was overjoyed, and Su Xi's hand holding the medicine slowly regained its color.

"Is this good news?" Dong Bingling stared wide-eyed at the plump leech, not finding it particularly frightening.

That night, Lu Wuyai felt as if he were lying on a pile of soft cotton again, and he reached out to touch it.

The next day, Lu Wuyai opened his eyes and found himself alone in the cave. This time, he did not panic.

However, Lu Wuyai was surprised to see Qin Feiming.

Far away, at the other end of the open space at the foot of the mountain, Qin Feiming was walking step by step.

"What a bastard, he dares to come back."

Lu Wuyai gritted his teeth and slept for a few days. He felt that his physical condition was not bad, but upon closer inspection, he realized that his legs were not functioning properly at all.

As Qin Feiming drew closer, Lu Wuyai could see clearly that the man was still limping, which was obviously caused by the previous injury to his leg.

Just as Lu Wuyai was about to stand up again, Su Xi's voice suddenly appeared.

"Qin Feiming, what brings you here?"

Four women ran back from the back mountain and happened to run into Qin Feiming. They suddenly became angry. They still vividly remembered what had happened a few nights ago.

"I was just passing by."

Qin Feiming's expression remained unchanged. As he passed the foot of the mountain, he gave Lu Wuyai a special look.

His calm expression made it difficult to guess what he was thinking.

"You wait here," Gu Yuxin suddenly said.

Qin Feiming stopped, turned his head, and pondered for a moment.

"what to do."

"I'd like to ask which of the medicines in your bottles is anti-inflammatory and antibacterial."

Upon hearing this, Qin Feiming laughed and said, "Are you too naive, or am I too foolish?"

"I know you took my medicine powder, but even if I told you, would you believe me?"

After saying that, Qin Feiming headed straight for the back of the mountain.

Gu Yuxin looked very dejected. She turned around and happened to see Lu Wuyai wake up, and she suddenly perked up again.

"Lu Wuyai, you're awake."

The other three women looked over, and a faint smile appeared on Su Xi's lips.

Lu Wuyai wanted to laugh, but as soon as the corners of his mouth moved, his entire body collapsed, and he still couldn't muster any strength.

Suddenly, another urgent sound came from the back of the mountain.

"There is one person here, and other survivors."

At the foot of the mountain, everyone looked at each other, all feeling a sense of fear.

Could it be that other survivors discovered this place?

But soon, several thuds came from the back of the mountain, sounding like someone had fallen to the ground.

Lu Wuyai frowned and said, "Could the one who was fighting with those people just now be Qin Feiming?"

Yu Yuxin snorted. "They'd be better off killed; they're all no good."

Su Xi said, "Pack your things, let's hide first."

When unaware of how many people are on the other side, most people would avoid observing and seek to maximize their own advantage and minimize their own disadvantage.

Soon after, Gu Yuxin was the first to rush out from the foot of the mountain with her belongings.

As for the others, Ye Meng and Yu Mengru dragged Lu Wuyai forward, one on the left and the other on the right. Finally, Song Xiaoyou carried the harpoon, cleaning up any traces along the way to avoid being discovered.

Everyone worked together very well, and in the end they all hid in the woods, glancing back at the mountains from time to time, feeling uneasy.

I don't know what happened over there.

Lu Wuyai felt pain all over his body. He sat on the grass and thought to himself that he was a complete waste.

Half an hour later, everyone suddenly realized that the sounds of insects chirping and birds singing could be heard from the forest again.

“Let’s go take a look, it should be fine.” Dong Bingling stood up, stepped over a pair of slender calves, eager to try.

“Let’s go, Meng Rou. You stay here and take care of Lu Wuyai,” Ye Meng said.

As a result, Gu Yuxin was naturally unhappy, and the two started arguing on the spot.

After hearing this, Lu Wuyai felt a headache coming on and was worried about what had just happened, so he suggested that everyone go and see.

"Let's go together then."

So, each of them took a weapon and headed towards the back of the mountain.

Throughout the journey, Lu Wuyai kept smelling a bloody odor in his nose, regardless of whether it was a hallucination or not.

Finally, I came to the back mountain and looked at the corpses scattered on the ground, except for Qin Feiming.

"Seven people died, four men and three women. Did Qin Feiming kill them all?" Lu Wuyai took a deep breath, feeling his scalp go numb at that moment.

These are not kittens, puppies, or rabbits, but living, breathing people.

He said he'd die, so he'd die; he said he'd kill, so he'd kill. Is this Qin Feiming the murderer? How can he be so powerful?

Everyone looked at each other, feeling incredibly lucky to have survived until now.

“You said it,” Yu Mengru murmured. “We should thank Qin Feiming. Thank you for not killing us.”

Gu Yuxin trembled on the spot, her face turned pale with fear, and her previous excitement vanished.

“This Qin Feiming could absolutely not be from the rescue team.” Yu Yuxia shook her head, her vigilance towards Qin Feiming rising to another level.

"The reason he didn't kill us before was probably because he was injured in the leg. I guess his injury isn't that serious now."

Ten minutes later, everyone heard a long wolf howl coming from the forest, realizing that the smell of blood was constantly attracting animals from the nearby mountains.

“Drag the bodies elsewhere and take all their supplies with you,” Lu Wuyai said.

Soon, everyone except Lu Wuyai began to move. Dragging the corpse was not easy; it was quite strenuous.

After about half an hour, Lu Wuyai was able to see wolves leaping through the forest via binoculars.

Then he whistled to signal the others to go home.

The evening breeze blew through the forest, and Lu Wuyai's body trembled, feeling as if he might fall at any moment.

Gu Yuxin had rushed back from a distance, her hands covered in blood. She supported Lu Wuyai, her eyes filled with worry.

"Let's go back first. You just woke up, and you shouldn't be out in the wind."

Lu Wuyai nodded, and soon his arm was squeezed by a warm sensation. He looked down and happened to meet Yu Yuxin's eyes, and his face immediately turned red.

"You peeked again."

Yu Mengru snorted and covered her chest with her bare hands, not expecting that she could only use one hand. Lu Wuyai's body was already very heavy, and he almost collapsed completely into her arms.

During this period, the shortage of clothing forced women to adapt to certain changes. Now, Lu Wuyai could even clearly feel the pressure on Yu Yuxin's chest.

Such a shameful touch almost brought Yu Yuxin to tears.

Lu Wuyai, on the other hand, was quite enjoying himself. After all, he had never experienced such beauty before, but when he saw the tears clinging to Yu Yuxin's eyelashes and her pitiful appearance, he could no longer bear it.

Despite the stinging pain in his back, Lu Wuyai stood up again, panting heavily. A heavy sweat instantly soaked his clothes.

As a result, Yu Yuxia stammered, "Actually, it's okay..."

Lu Wuyai's eyes widened. Is this okay?

Gazing at Gu Yuxin in the twilight, the sunlight illuminating her body and outlining a perfect curve, made his heart race and his breathing quicken.

Yu Yuxia seemed to realize something. She looked up at Lu Wuyai, her heart skipping a beat.

Two people stood in the forest. The silence here was better than any sound. In the silence, the distance between them grew closer and closer.

Lu Wuyai couldn't help but think about what Yu Yuxin meant.

As a result, Gu Yuxin suddenly ran out of the woods, breaking the silence of the forest.

Why don't you leave?

Upon hearing the sound, Gu Yuxin's pupils suddenly contracted, and she felt as if she had been electrocuted. She immediately ran towards the foot of the mountain.

"this"

Lu Wuyai was stunned as he watched Yu Yuxin run off like a rabbit. "Are you going to leave me alone in the forest?"

Fortunately, Gu Yuxin was still alive, and Su Xi and Song Xiaoyou also ran out from other forests to support Lu Wuyai. In the last moment of darkness, they successfully returned to the foot of the mountain.

Why did you leave Lu Wuyai alone in the forest?

Back at the foot of the mountain, Su Xi questioned Yu Yuxia with a hint of complaint.

Lu Wuyai also secretly glanced at Gu Yuxin and found that her expression had become very cold, and she was just busy with her own things, such as starting a fire. She was not as lively as she used to be in the woods.

Lu Wuyai was somewhat frustrated, wondering if he was hallucinating because his injuries were too severe.

Song Xiaoyou returned from outside and blocked off the fence at the foot of the mountain.

Under the firelight, everyone gathered together, still worried about Qin Feiming's murder.

“That guy is too cruel. Do you think he didn’t kill him?” Gu Yuxin said.

“Unlikely.” Su Xi identified Qin Feiming as the murderer, saying, “That guy definitely isn’t from the rescue team, but why would he have a rescue team uniform?”

"Could it be..."

At this moment, everyone was thinking the same thing.

However, Song Xiaoyou suddenly took something out and threw it on the ground.

Lu Wuyai glanced at it and froze. It was a work permit. Opening it, he found a photo of Qin Feiming. It included his date of birth, workplace, and the stamp of the rescue organization.

"This shouldn't be easy to fake."

Everyone looked at each other, beginning to doubt Qin Feiming's identity and the events that had occurred in the back mountain that afternoon.

"Are there any people you know among these corpses?" Lu Wuyai changed the subject, not wanting to delve any further into who Qin Feiming was.

Regardless of whether the other party was from the rescue team or not, to them, Qin Feiming had once taken Su Xi hostage, so he was definitely not a good person.

Su Xi thought for a moment and said, "There are one or two faces that look very familiar, but they shouldn't be Liu Gongming's."

At this moment, Yu Yuxia, who had been silent since returning to the foot of the mountain, also spoke.

“Those people were all in business class. I remember one of the deceased was a washed-up internet celebrity.” Yu Yuxia paused, then said, “They weren’t Liu Gongming’s people; maybe they were from another team of survivors.”

No one doubted Gu Yuxin's words. After all, she was a flight attendant and had more information than they did.

They weren't from Liu Gongming, but likely from other survivor groups. For them, this news held no promise. After nearly two months on the deserted island, some things were already clear to them.

Unless a rescue team arrives, the situation on the deserted island will only get worse.

"Hissing sound."

Lu Wuyai took a breath, and the wound on his back felt a stinging pain like needles again. His breath tasted of blood.

"Su Xi, it's time to change his dressing." Yu Yuxia said coldly, biting her lip.

Su Xi stood up, made Lu Wuyai lie face down on the ground, and squatted down beside him. He skillfully unfolded the rag and found that the wound was not bleeding, but there was a lot of bruising.

The medication change is ongoing, and the discussions have not stopped.

Song Xiaoyou said, "Let's take a look at what we've gained this time."

Seven people died, but the killer didn't take the other party's supplies, most likely because he felt it was unnecessary.

But on a deserted island, who would think that supplies are unnecessary?

For a time, everyone was completely baffled.

Soon, the harvested materials were piled on the ground. No one wasted anything. Except for the underwear, all of the deceased's other belongings were there.

Besides the clothes and trousers, the other items included: two flashlights, a whistle, two sickles made from fragments (suspected to be aircraft wreckage), dried meat, a plastic bucket of about twenty liters, and two wet cigarettes.

This gain brought them no joy. On the contrary, they worried that an unknown enemy might be nearby.

Song Xiaoyou, who had never participated in the discussion before, suddenly said, "How about we go somewhere else?"

Clearly, with Qin Feiming gone, this place at the foot of the mountain is no longer a secluded spot. Someone died today; perhaps other survivors will appear here tomorrow.

Over time, they became easily spotted at the foot of the mountain, and Lu Wuyai was injured. How could these four women live under the watchful eyes of other survivors?

Lu Wuyai lowered his head, secretly hating himself for being too careless and getting scratched by the golden cat, which made him a complete burden.

“I will go find it tomorrow,” Ye Meng said.

Afterwards, the four women discussed their division of labor for the next day. Fortunately, the pottery making was already showing promise, and the tools for boiling water would soon be available.

That night, the forest near the back mountain was never quiet.

It wasn't until dawn the next day that Gu Yuxin brought Dong Bingling out, because they had set several traps when they disposed of the body the day before, and should have made some gains.

As for Su Xi, he searched for a new place to stay nearby. Song Xiaoyou stayed at the foot of the mountain to continue making pottery teapots while also taking care of the injured Lu Wuyai.

The day passed quickly.

At noon, Yu Yuxia and Dong Bingling returned, covered in sweat, dragging five gray wild rabbits, each as big as a football.

"The rabbits on this deserted island are actually carnivorous."

Gu Yuxin slapped her tongue, jumped up, and threw the rabbit down the mountain. Lu Wuyai was stunned by the waves crashing against his chest.

Yu Yuxin, who was standing to the side, glared at him fiercely, feeling a pang of jealousy. A wild rabbit landed directly on Lu Wuyai's chest.

"It hurts!" Lu Wuyai cried out in pain.

Yu Yuxin snorted: "You should take care of your eyes, or you'll be detained by women sooner or later."

Suddenly, Gu Yuxin, who was standing next to her, became unhappy and deliberately stuck out her chest: "Yu Mengru, are you jealous of my figure and deliberately not letting Lu Wuyai see it?"

"Lu Wuyai, I won't gouge your eyes out."

Upon hearing this, Lu Wuyai and Yu Yuxin nearly coughed up blood. This Gu Yuxin was truly a "childish speaker"; every word she uttered was distorted.

"It's done, it's done, it's a success."

Song Xiaoyou, who was usually calm and collected, suddenly became excited. Everyone looked over and saw a strangely shaped pottery jar being taken out of the fire.

The surface of the pottery jar was completely broken, and the rim was uneven and rough. However, after it cooled down, Song Xiaoyou poured a little water into the bowl.

“No leaks.” Yu Yuxia clapped her hands, excitement written in her eyes.

A pottery jar that doesn't leak means it can be used to boil water.

"How much clay is left? How many more can I make?" Lu Wuyai asked.

"It's very likely that we won't be able to make it with the remaining clay."

The success rate for making clay pots is extremely low. Even this one took nearly a hundred attempts to succeed. The probability is frighteningly low.

Song Xiaoyou still suspects that the pottery jar might be a coincidence. This type of clay might not be suitable for making pottery.

"Use this first, then go find clay elsewhere," Yu Yuxia comforted Song Xiaoyou, saying that making pottery jars is tiring and painful, and only someone with the temperament to endure the loneliness can do so.
