Otherwise, Lu Wuyai would have benefited for nothing.

By the fire, Lu Wuyai was still recalling the scene at dusk, silently thinking it over again; this deserted island always seemed to offer him some "surprises."

At this moment, Song Xiaoyou took out five wild pears from his pocket. He had found them while walking on the mountain path earlier that day, and they were his only food.

Lu Wuyai skillfully took a bite. Apart from the astringent taste of the peel, the wild pear flesh inside was sweet and juicy. It was considered a snack that could both quench thirst and fill the stomach.

“Tell me, what will happen if we fail again this time?” Lu Wuyai couldn’t help but feel a little melancholy. In the blink of an eye, they had already spent two months on the deserted island.

"What else can we do? Just try to survive." Su Xi said, turning to look at Song Xiaoyou: "Xiaoyou, what are you thinking?"

"I...I don't want to fail."

Hearing this, Lu Wuyai smiled, but in his heart he thought that he should always be prepared for the worst. Perhaps in this way, he would have some sense of security and so-called confidence.

“Hey, I don’t want to fail, but I always feel like the road back won’t be smooth sailing.” Su Xi shook her head bitterly. During this time, she truly understood the meaning of the phrase “exhaustion of manpower.”

Leaving this deserted island is fraught with uncertainty; no one can decide the future.

Now, they even have problems with food and fresh water. They hope they won't die of thirst or starvation before finding Han Shuyi.

"Let's all rest tonight," Lu Wuyai suggested.

The mountainside is safe; there's nowhere to stay except for the rocky platform they occupy. The only downside is that the mountain winds are a bit strong.

The campfire roared and flickered, and even with the addition of firewood, it wouldn't last long.

The last two to keep watch were Su Xi and Song Xiaoyou, one in the dead of night and the other after midnight.

Late at night, Lu Wuyai had a nightmare and woke up at three in the morning.

He was about to get up when he realized Su Xi was sleeping right next to him. Perhaps it was because of the cold weather. Su Xi was leaning against him, her chest right in front of him. Because of the other person sleeping beside her, her breasts were being pressed together. Pressing on them, the soft, white flesh almost overflowed the screen.

This scene caused Lu Wuyai's eyes to become bloodshot, and he almost vomited blood from his nose.

Fortunately, he closed his eyes firmly, and when he opened them again, he was already standing up.

The campfire was dying down, and Song Xiaoyou leaned against a rock and fell asleep. Lu Wuyai, who had just been startled by Su Xi's figure, saw the fragrant scene as soon as he closed his eyes, and thus completely lost his sleepiness.

Three hours later, the sky began to brighten, and Song Xiaoyou and Su Xi woke up one after another.

At seven o'clock, they slid down the stone platform and began to continue along the established route toward the mountain they had been forced to leave.

It was midday, and the sun was very strong and dazzling. The three of them were covered in sweat. Due to severe dehydration, their vision was double for a long time.

For safety reasons, they temporarily hid in the nearby wild forest, using the shade of the trees to escape the heat.

Lu Wuyai's back wound has become infected again. Recently, the repeated trauma has left him in poor mental condition and increasingly weak.

"You rest here for a bit, let Xiaoyou stay with you, I'll go up and see how it goes by myself," Ye Meng said.

To their left, they could already see the familiar mountaintop, and some monkeys were still hiding under the tree canopy, seemingly spying on them.

"Let Xiaoyou go with you. I'm here alone, and no one can find me."

At Lu Wuyai's insistence, Su Xi and Song Xiaoyou set off for Monkey Mountain together.

Two hours later, Lu Wuyai, who had been dozing under the shade of the tree, suddenly woke up.

Raindrops seeped in through the gaps in the leaves, making the ground very wet. It actually started raining.

Lu Wuyai stood up and glanced in the direction of Monkey Mountain. The two women had not yet returned.

Immediately afterwards, a bright bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, piercing the silent clouds. Then, a muffled thunderclap approached from afar, accompanied by a deafening roar that shook the entire mountain range.

"There's a lot of thunder, it's going to rain heavily."

The clouds were low, and rain was already brewing; the raindrops were getting heavier.

Lu Wuyai picked up the life-saving bag from the ground, put it on as a raincoat, and then walked towards the back mountain.

Then, one rumble of thunder after another sounded.

"What is today?" Lu Wuyai felt vaguely uneasy, and then he remembered the scene of Yu Mengru covering Gu Yuxin's ears.

He still remembered what Yu Mengru said at the time: Dong Bingling couldn't hear the thunder.

"I don't know what happened to Dong Bingling and Yu Mengru later."

As expected, a heavy rainstorm struck when we arrived at the foot of Monkey Mountain.

"Lu Wuyai, come up quickly."

"Lu Wuyai, be careful."

In the rain, Lu Wuyai first heard Ye Meng's voice, then Yu Mengru's shouts. Both of them were on a mountain not far away.

But then he felt a sharp pain in his arm, and his whole body crashed into a large tree nearby. His head hit the trunk, and stars went through his eyes.

"Painful".

Lu Wuyai's first sensation was intense pain, as if his arm had been struck by an iron rod. Then he saw a figure standing opposite him, slowly lowering his raised right leg.

In the rain, the other person looked smaller, more like a woman than a man.

"What's going on?"

The figure opposite suddenly accelerated. Lu Wuyai hurriedly hid behind a tree and saw that the other person was Dong Bingling.

"Dong Bingling, are you sick?" Lu Wuyai roared, only to discover that the other person was Gu Yuxin. Why was this woman hitting him?

But soon, his expression turned unfamiliar. That kick just now wasn't up to Gu Yuxin's level.

Subconsciously, Lu Wuyai sensed danger.

"Locate the transmitter for me." Gu Yuxin's voice sounded cold to those nearby.

"You crazy bitch, I found the tracking transmitter, why would I give it to you?"

"And even if you get the location transmitter, it won't be of any use. You have to find Han Shuyi first."

As Lu Wuyai spoke, he quickly looked up at Monkey Mountain and saw that there were still people descending there, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

Now, his back and arms are so numb with pain that he can't exert any strength at all.

Dong Bingling now seems to possess astonishing fighting spirit. He was severely injured in a one-sided attack. If he takes a few more hits, he'll be dead.

"Dong Bingling, stop fooling around."

Yu Yuxia's angry voice echoed through the forest, tinged with a hint of panic.

Bang!

Gu Yuxin punched through a tree, startling Lu Wuyai so much that he couldn't open his eyes.

This woman has completely transformed from a little rabbit into a man-eating tigress.

There was clearly some distance between the air and the tree, but with this punch, not only was the tree trunk, as thick as an arm, broken, but Lu Wuyai also felt the rain in front of him emitting white smoke.

If Yu Mengru hadn't come down in time, Lu Wuyai would have felt like his neck was broken.

"Dong Bingling, you've gone mad."

Yu Yuxia stood before Lu Wuyai, outstretched her arms as if protecting a chicken. Rain soaked her hair and clothes, but her delicate body remained as clean as a snow lotus in the storm.

"Get away from me, or I'll beat you up too."

Gu Yuxin reached out and brushed aside the long hair that was obscuring her eyes. Rain rolled down her face, and her usually delicate and cute face now looked even more serious.

Lu Wuyai took a breath. Dong Bingling's temperament had changed, and he might even be able to defeat Yu Mengru.

With that in mind, Lu Wuyai took out a positioning transmitter from his pocket and threw it directly to Gu Yuxin.

"Lu Wuyai said!" Yu Yuxia tried to stop him, but it was too late. Dong Bingling picked up the positioning transmitter from the ground and disappeared into the rain.

"What should we do now? If you give her the location transmitter, even if we find Han Shuyi, we won't be able to go back."

After saying that, Yu Yuxia squatted down on the ground, heartbroken. The only chance to leave the deserted island had been given to Gu Yuxin.

Yu Mengru knew very well that now that Gu Yuxin had found them, she was very likely to abandon Han Shuyi on a deserted island to fend for herself.

Lu Wuyai helped Yu Yuxin up, but she was so angry that she kept pushing him away.

Caught off guard, Lu Wuyai fell to the ground, his back wound slamming against a large rock. The intense pain caused him to faint.

When he woke up again, he was in a cave.

"You're awake." Yu Yuxia's eyes were red; she had clearly just been crying. The surroundings were quiet, with the familiar sound of snoring audible. Everyone except Dong Bingling was resting on the floor.

Lu Wuyai grimaced, feeling as if his entire body was about to fall apart. Yu Yuxia reached out to help him up, leaning his right shoulder against the rock wall.

"Are you alright?" Gu Yuxin felt extremely guilty. She really hadn't pushed her on purpose during the day.

"Painful".

Lu Wuyai felt short of breath, his heart muscles seemed to be cramping, and his body felt hot.

"Do you want me to rub it for you?" Yu Yuxia covered her mouth tightly, her eyes were red and swollen, and her eyelashes were covered with tears. She looked like she was about to die of heartbreak.

Seeing Yu Yuxin like this, Lu Wuyai couldn't help but laugh. He thought she was really cute right now, so he couldn't help but say, "Sister Yuxin, you're so cute."

Gu Yuxin's face flushed instantly. She lowered her head and covered her face, then quickly raised her head and said deliberately in a fierce tone, "Don't interrupt me."

"I'm asking you, do you still feel pain?"

Lu Wuyai nodded and pointed to his back. The tearing pain in his wound continued. He hadn't felt it while he was asleep. But now that he was awake, the pain was intensifying.

"Turn around, and I'll teach you again."

Lu Wuyai lay on the ground, and Yu Yuxia gently undid his clothes. Upon seeing the completely festering wound, she almost burst into tears.

Since Lu Wuyai was injured, a series of unexpected events meant he had no time to rest. Every time his injuries improved slightly, he inevitably had to embark on another long journey the next day.

The repeated inflammation of the wound also caused Lu Wuyai to have a persistent high fever. If this continued, he might really die.

"What's wrong?" Lu Wuyai asked.

“It’s nothing, you need to rest, you know that,” Yu Yuxia said, her tone as gentle and dreamlike as her name.

Lu Wuyai pursed his lips, but the intense pain in his back made his face look very unnatural, like the grotesque gourd from Plants vs. Zombies.

"Ouch, that hurts."

Lu Wuyai opened his mouth, his voice echoing in the cave. Everyone except Yu Yuxin was already asleep.

At this moment, Lu Wuyai asked where they were.

"It's still on Monkey Mountain, but it's halfway up the mountain."

As she spoke, Yu Yuxia sounded somewhat surprised. She told Lu Wuyai that the place had been washed away by a heavy rain. At that time, they were looking for shelter from the rain when they discovered this cave.

“This is truly a wonderful place,” Lu Wuyai said sincerely.

Yu Yuxia, who was standing nearby, looked into the cave and said, "This might be the monkey cave leading to the top of the mountain."

"It's just too late, so we don't dare to go any further."

Listening to Gu Yuxin's words, Lu Wuyai glanced at the deep, dark cave and then thought of Gu Yuxin who had escaped in the thunderstorm.

"What's wrong with this woman? She mutated the moment she heard thunder." Lu Wuyai was completely baffled. His arm hurt more than his bones. He even suspected that his bones might be cracked.

Gu Yuxin sighed. She had already explained things to the others before Lu Wuyai woke up. Now, she sorted out her chaotic thoughts before continuing to speak.

"Didn't you think Gu Yuxin's personality was a bit strange before? She's clearly a woman in her twenties, but she has the heart of a teenage girl. Sometimes she acts very childish. To be precise, she says whatever comes to mind."

Lu Wuyai nodded. Dong Bingling's personality and behavior were indeed different from those of a normal woman.

“We used to be next-door neighbors. We grew up together and were very close. Before she became an adult, her personality was like a split personality. Once, she encountered a heavy rain, and she completely changed. It wasn't just a change in personality, but also in kung fu, like in a movie.”

Lu Wuyai noticed that Yu Yuxia seemed to be recalling something terrible, and her voice was trembling slightly.

"Later, a terrible thing happened to her family. Her parents were burned to death overnight, and she even disappeared. The next time I saw Dong Bingling was when I was a flight attendant."

As he listened intently, Lu Wuyai unconsciously conjured up many images in his mind.

"Why?" Yu Yuxia sighed, glanced at Lu Wuyai, and said irritably, "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

"What are you saying?" Lu Wuyai was completely confused.

“Location transmitter. You clearly removed the battery, so it’s useless now that Dong Bingling can’t get the transmitter.” Yu Yuxia pouted, feeling wronged and sad because Lu Wuyai was injured.

"Hey, I'm smart. Gu Yuxin will come looking for us sooner or later."

At this moment, Lu Wuyai had already dressed and was leaning against the rock wall, letting out a long breath.

He reached into his pocket, took out the battery, and carefully put it away.

But the next second, his expression changed.

"What's wrong?" Yu Yuxin asked immediately when she saw Lu Wuyai's nervous expression.

"The battery is missing."

Lu Wuyai's face turned pale. How could the battery be gone?

Once the battery is gone, even with the GPS transmitter and Han Shuyi, it will be impossible to escape the deserted island.

With a whoosh.

At this point, Gu Yuxin covered her mouth, walked to the edge of the cave, moved a few stones, and picked up a black square object.

Seeing the familiar button battery, Lu Wuyai breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Yu Yuxin resentfully and asked her why she hadn't told her sooner.

"Seeing how nervous you were, you hid the battery while you were wiping it." Yu Yuxia covered her mouth and laughed.

Upon hearing this, Lu Wuyai looked puzzled and wiped his face. Could it be that they had all seen him off?

At that moment, Yu Yuxia realized something, a blush spread across her face, and she snorted coldly.

“See, you have to take responsibility…” Lu Wuyai muttered.

Yu Yuxia looked at her suspiciously: "What did you say?"

"Oh, it's nothing. I just said I was a little tired."

"Then take a break; this heavy rain isn't going to stop anytime soon." Yu Yuxia looked towards the cave entrance. There, a muddy path covered in branches appeared. In the pitch-black night, no one would notice it.

Unbeknownst to him, Lu Wuyai quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Beside the warm fire, Yu Yuxia touched Lu Wuyai's forehead, feeling the unusual temperature, and sighed softly.

"I hope the wound doesn't worsen, otherwise..."

The next day, it was still raining heavily on Monkey Mountain. Lu Wuyai slept for a day and a night, only waking up again when it got dark.

However, his eyelids felt very heavy. After touching them, Lu Wuyai finally opened his eyes, and felt a little strange when he saw that there was no one else in the cave.

Seeing that Lu Wuyai was about to stand up, Yu Yuxia told him to lie on the ground and treated his wounds herself.

"Can I go to the toilet first?" Lu Wuyai touched his bladder and found it was swollen. Since it was raining, water wasn't a problem at all. He had drunk a lot of water last night.

Yu Yuxia blushed instantly and whispered, "Then I'll help you."

The toilet was located at the entrance of the cave, and it was rather dark inside. During the day, the women made a makeshift fence out of thorns, which could be used as a shield.

After dropping Lu Wuyai off here, Yu Yuxia turned around and said, "Hurry up, don't be too noisy."

Lu Wuyai rolled his eyes. He had just gone to the toilet. Why was there such a loud noise?

But this time, Lu Wuyai discovered that his shoulders were completely unusable. Needless to say, the editor couldn't even take his pants off.

Three minutes passed, and Yu Yuxia couldn't help but ask, "Are you ready?"

Lu Wuyai swallowed hard and said, "I... I can't perform to my full potential, why won't you help me?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Yuxin instinctively asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Take off your pants." Lu Wuyai was also a little embarrassed.

"This, this, you can't take off your pants by yourself." Yu Yuxin carried Lu Wuyai on her back, but her face still involuntarily turned red, the blush spreading all the way down to her neck.

"I want to, but I really can't." As he spoke, Lu Wuyai even felt a wave of dizziness. If he hadn't been holding onto the fence, he would have collapsed to the ground long ago.

There was a struggle between her conscience and her will. Yu Yuxia thought of the wound on Lu Wuyai's back, and her heart clenched. She slowly loosened her white fist, turned around, and helped Lu Wuyai up.

"Then let's hurry up."

Yu Yuxia lowered her head and groped Lu Wuyai's body with her hands. She found the belt of his pants and quickly took them off.
