There's no mechanism in place, so they appear to be safe for now.
"Don't move." Lu Wuyai made a gesture for silence, took out a pistol from his waist, and cautiously approached the card reader area of the container door.
The white card was swiped lightly upwards, and the iron gate opened, revealing the pitch-black environment inside.
Under the beam of his flashlight, Lu Wuyai confirmed that there was no one inside, and there was no other space on the first floor of the container.
He quickly waved to Song Xiaoyou and Mo Luoyi, signaling them to come over.
Taking small steps, the mechanism just reminded them that this is not a good place.
“Listen,” Lu Wuyai said to Molloy.
This is a laboratory, and apart from Molloy, no one knows whether the equipment inside will be of any use to her.
Two minutes later, Molloy came out shaking his head and told Lu Wuyai and Song Xiaoyou that the tools in the container were useless for making protective suits.
“Then move on to the next container,” Lu Wuyai said in a low voice.
"Wait," Molloy said, pulling his hand. "Go straight to the second floor. The lab on the first floor only has some basic sampling tools; they're useless for making protective suits."
Lu Wuyai glanced at her, then surveyed the silent surroundings. During this time, apart from the sound of the mechanical device being activated, there was no other noise.
"Then go to the second floor."
“If we move faster, the people inside the container will get out,” Yang Jian said.
Soon, Molloy led the way, heading straight for the second layer of containers. He swiped his card to open the door, and together with Song Xiaoyou, they plunged inside.
Lu Wuyai remained standing at the cave entrance, his expression unusually serious in the quiet winter day.
Unconsciously, his right hand, which was holding the gun, was already drenched in sweat, and the sounds of two women moving machines in the private room could be heard incessantly.
Five minutes later, Yang Jian returned carrying a machine as tall as half a person, which was said to be a 3D printer. Additionally, Molloy and Song Xiaoyou's baskets were also stuffed with printing materials.
"We don't have enough materials." Moro made a worried face and said that the materials in the two baskets could only make two sets of clothes.
"Are there any more in the other containers?" Yang Jian noticed that the printing materials looked like a special kind of ink cartridge.
“There are some,” Molloy said firmly, adding that it would be best to get another printer like this to ensure it wouldn’t be damaged during the production of protective suits.
"You guys find a place to hide first, I'll go get it myself," Yang Jian said.
But the next second, Lu Wuyai pushed the two women inside, because the wind suddenly blew at that moment.
A rumbling sound.
The strong wind lashed against the box, and the three people inside the container dared not breathe.
"Have you stopped?" Morloy asked.
Lu Wuyai shook his head. The sound of the wind was still there; the sudden cessation of the strong wind was just an illusion.
Sure enough, a few seconds later, the strong wind continued to blow through the forest, reaching deeper into the deserted island.
“We are now exposed to radiation,” Song Xiaoyou said, looking at Molloy.
"Okay, but if we don't contact each other, there shouldn't be any major problems."
In the dark environment of the container, Yang Jian held his breath and listened carefully to the sounds outside.
About half an hour later, Lu Wuyai breathed a sigh of relief because he hadn't heard the wind for ten minutes.
But as soon as the door opened, a group of humans, men and women, numbering at least a dozen, emerged from the forest.
Lu Wuyai narrowed his eyes, his pupils shrinking. He sensed the threat these people posed.
The other person also saw Lu Wuyai, their face expressionless, as if they were looking at a corpse.
Lu Wuyai blocked the container door and made a gesture with the back of his hand to the two women. Song Xiaoyou and Mo Luoyi suddenly tensed up.
The gesture clearly meant they should be careful, as there were people outside.
At that moment, both women simultaneously put down their machines and took out crossbows from the baskets on their backs. Song Xiaoyou even drew his pistol, attached a silencer, leaned against the door, and peered through the crack to observe the situation outside.
Lu Wuyai was also gathering strength, because there were too many of them, and a direct confrontation was clearly not the solution.
Originally, Lu Wuyai had planned to let the two women take the things and leave first, but now it seems that the chance of them returning empty-handed is only fifty-fifty.
“We recognize you,” a man draped in a shawl said to Lu Wuyai in the woods.
Lu Wuyai fell silent; he roughly knew who the other person was.
That night, in order to create chaos and successfully carry out his rescue plan, Lu Wuyai opened all the cages and released all the human experiment subjects.
Therefore, the humans in front of us are likely still-living experimental subjects.
Lu Wuyai remained silent, for he felt a little frightened. He hadn't heard a sound when these humans emerged, but now, listening carefully, he still couldn't hear anything.
There wasn't even a heartbeat.
This terrifying realization sent chills down Lu Wuyai's spine. Were these people dead or alive?
Lu Wuyai swallowed hard, then heard the other person continue speaking: "We are very grateful to you."
"To express our gratitude, let us offer you something to eat."
Hearing this, Lu Wuyai not only did not lower his guard, but felt that what he was about to face might be even more terrifying.
Then, Lu Wuyai saw that person, who took a coconut from the crowd and threw it at Lu Wuyai.
"Drink coconut water."
Lu Wuyai was stunned and subconsciously reached out to pick it up.
But when he saw what the "coconut" actually looked like, he lay on the ground and gagged on the spot.
Where are the leaves?
It's obviously a headshot.
"vomit."
Lu Wuyai lay on the ground and vomited, feeling as if he was about to throw up all the military rations he had eaten over the past few days.
The human test subject opposite him was forced to eat human brains.
Lu Wuyai got up from the ground and looked at the people below who were still expressionless. It was really hard to accept this scene.
Crucially, in the time that followed, this group of humans ate two human corpses right in front of him.
Having witnessed countless partings and deaths on the deserted island, Lu Wuyai vowed that he never wanted to see such cannibalistic scenes again in his life.
At this moment, not only him, but even the two women hiding inside the container peering in were already vomiting while leaning against the wall.
An hour later, when the three of them walked out of the container camp, they were still in a daze.
Lu Wuyai looked back at the forest bathed in sunlight. For some reason, the humans in the experiment had not caused them any harm.
"Could it be because I let them go?" This was the only reason Lu Wuyai could think of.
He carried a printer on his shoulder and another identical machine strapped to his back.
Song Xiaoyou and Molloy were dragging four suitcases, with large amounts of printed materials hanging from their chests and backs. Their journey was unlikely to be as easy as it had been on their way there.
Moreover, Lu Wuyai heard news of an impending arrival once again.
“Let’s walk to the foot of the mountain ahead,” Song Xiaoyou said. Her eyesight is not only impervious to darkness, but also like that of an eagle. Her vision far surpasses that of ordinary people.
When Lu Wuyai said that a strong wind was coming, he saw a depression at the foot of the mountain, which was on the shady side and could withstand the attack of the strong wind.
Without a moment to think, Lu Wuyai led them towards the cave at the foot of the mountain.
Ten minutes later, the three of them were already hiding inside, listening to the mournful cries coming from not far away, the sound of strong winds colliding with the trees in the forest.
The sea breeze of the past has completely transformed into a monster that steals human flesh.
The cave at the foot of the mountain was very dark. After the three of them arrived, they put down their burdens and immediately felt much more relaxed.
Especially with the human gazes gone, both women breathed a sigh of relief.
Song Xiaoyou wasn't pretty. She used to gag frequently. The scene of cannibalism was too grotesque; no one could accept it.
"Did you see clearly? That corpse seems to be a soldier from the Bird Kingdom." Lu Wuyai breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed his chest, and felt a tightness in it.
If the test subjects had rushed up and attacked them, no one could guarantee that Lu Wuyai and Song Xiaoyou's guns would have killed them all immediately.
Fortunately, nothing happened.
At this moment, Lu Wuyai glanced at the two printers in front of him. Due to the time constraints, he didn't have time to ask Molloy for details.
“This is an LG 3D printer. It’s not exactly high-tech, but their materials are pretty good.” Moro pointed to the boxes on the ground that looked like ink cartridges, a smirk playing on his lips.
"Unfortunately, without those guys, we should have been able to harvest more printed material."
Lu Wuyai said with lingering fear, "It was alright. If they hadn't been hostile towards us, we wouldn't have been able to get into the second container on the second floor."
That's right. While the experimental subjects were eating human flesh, Lu Wuyai took the opportunity to enter the second container, obtain all the printing materials inside, and even refrained from taking the second printer.
So far, I'm quite satisfied with what I've gained from this trip.
But they can't go back now, and the printer isn't working. They can only wait for the wind to stop and then hurry back into the cave.
Lu Wuyai checked the time. It wasn't too late yet. There was still half a day before it got dark.
“You need to rest for a while and recover your strength before we leave,” Yang Jian said.
Song Xiaoyou and Molloy nodded. They were indeed quite tired after the trip, and the cave at the foot of the mountain was safe and there was no immediate danger.
Soon, soft snoring began. Lu Wuyai squatted down beside him, keeping a close eye on the situation in the forest.
An hour later, Lu Wuyai heard nothing. Just as he was about to wake the two women, something suddenly bumped into him.
When he saw the other person clearly, his scalp went numb instantly.
It was a bald man, squatting on the ground, staring straight into his eyes.
Lu Wuyai was startled. This person's entire body was covered in veins. Even in the cold winter, he only wore short sleeves. This was definitely not normal.
Moreover, the other party's ferocious appearance naturally made Lu Wuyai associate it with those experimental humans.
But it was clear that this person was different from the other test subjects. Lu Wuyai felt that the other person seemed to have completely lost his mind.
Lu Wuyai quickly pulled a dagger from his trouser leg. He was prepared for this. At the same time, he immediately woke up the others.
"Is this bald guy a pervert?" Moro looked at the other person, getting goosebumps all over.
Be careful.
Lu Wuyai suddenly shouted, and he heard the sound of the other person stepping on the ground.
The next second, Lu Wuyai also rushed over. There were two instruments in the cave, but they couldn't be destroyed.
The two collided, and Lu Wuyai instantly felt a sharp pain in his shoulder. He realized the bald man was biting his flesh, and he didn't let go for a moment.
Lu Wuyai could clearly feel the other party sucking his blood.
"Let's line up."
At that moment, tears of pain welled in Lu Wuyai's eyes, but the next second he no longer hesitated. The intense, tearing pain made him pick up the dagger and stab his opponent's neck several times.
Blood suddenly gushed out like a fountain.
A few minutes later, Lu Wuyai returned from outside. His shoulders were covered in blood and flesh.
While treating the wound, Song Xiaoyou could still vaguely see the white bone. She told Yang Jian to bear with it. After all, the bald man's saliva might contain some kind of bacteria.
He used all the fresh water he carried to treat his wounds, and Lu Wuyai's face turned completely pale.
"uh-huh."
Suddenly, Lu Wuyai turned around and looked into the forest. Just now, something in the forest had made a rubbing sound.
"What's wrong."
"There's something there, be careful."
Lu Wuyai squinted, listening to his surroundings. His heart was pounding, and he even temporarily forgot the pain in his shoulder.
"Miss Song, what did you see?" Yang Jian asked.
Unfortunately, Song Xiaoyou shook her head. She was also paying attention to the forest outside the cave entrance.
Later, when Lu Wuyai's wounds were completely bandaged and he could no longer hear the wind, he picked up the two machines again and led them toward the cave.
On the way back, it got darker and darker.
Lu Wuyai looked up and saw that the clouds were very low, similar to the weather on snowy days in the past. There might be another blizzard before the New Year.
"Put on your skis, let's speed up!" Lu Wuyai shouted.
Because the wind picked up, the sky eventually turned gray.
When he returned to the cave, Lu Wuyai saw that even the horizon was gray.
It's only 3 PM, but the heavy snow, like a tsunami, is already sweeping in from afar like mountains.
"Go in quickly," Lu Wuyai urged.
Fortunately, the hole was big enough that two printers could fit inside. However, when they were turned, the machines got stuck.
There was no other way. Everyone in the cave could only try to widen the diameter of the curve as quickly as possible.
Soon, inside the cave, Lu Wuyai heard the howling northwest wind, which was clearly audible even across the earth.
"Let me see what it's like outside." Molloy looked through the vent and, using the newly made periscope, found that the surroundings were still calm and there was nothing there.
Molloy immediately complained to Lu Wuyai, "Your ears are too long; where is the blizzard?"
Lu Wuyai frowned. He couldn't be bothered to argue with Molloy. The fact that the outside world was calm could only mean one thing: this blizzard was going to be severe. Otherwise, he wouldn't have heard the howling wind before he even reached the deserted island.
At this point, Lu Wuyai had no choice but to speed up the digging along the bend. As time went on, the rumbling in his ears grew louder and louder, until finally Lu Wuyai could no longer hear what Tang Xin was saying to him.
Finally, the two printers were safely installed in the cave one after the other. As soon as Lu Wuyai closed the door, a tremendous force almost pushed the wooden planks aside.
Lu Wuyai could no longer hold back and hurriedly shouted, "There's a rope here, I can't grab it anymore!"
The blizzard was so powerful that Lu Wuyai could feel its terrifying force even through three layers of wooden planks.
"The rope is here." Tang Xin quickly handed him the rope. The other end of the rope was already firmly tied to a nail in the ground.
Soon, Lu Wuyai opened the wooden plank, and a terrifying gust of wind howled past. The resulting pressure difference almost pushed him out of the cave.
At that moment, the people inside the cave truly felt the power of nature.
Lu Wuyai threaded the rope through the nail already buried in the hole, then through the hole in the wooden plank, and used all his strength to close the plank back together.
It made a crackling sound.
Outside the wooden planks, sand and stones flew everywhere, as if it were the end of the world.
Inside the cave, Yang Jian immediately tied the rescue rope into a tight knot to ensure that the subsequent pressure difference would not blow it away.
Bang bang bang.
On the rocky mountain, stones of all sizes were being pushed around. Even if it wasn't Lu Wuyai, everyone else could hear it clearly now.
At this moment, Moro appeared extremely nervous. He no longer possessed the freedom he had when he eliminated Lu Wuyai.
"What about the chicken coop?" Su Xi asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, there's a big rock stuck in the chicken coop. If it gets blown away by the wind, then we can only mourn for the chickens."
Lu Wuyai stopped at the cave entrance, looking at the wooden planks that were slowly calming down from the tremors, and began to breathe a sigh of relief.
"It's alright now, let's quickly put the printer away," Lu Wuyai urged.
A huge storm is brewing outside. It hasn't snowed on the deserted island yet, but it's hard to say what will happen after nightfall.
For the time being, changes in the external environment will not affect the people inside.
At this moment, Tang Xin noticed the wound on Lu Wuyai's shoulder. Although the bleeding had stopped, the gruesome teeth marks and the swelling as large as a steamed bun were worrying.
"You go do your work first, I... I'll go give him his medicine." Song Xiaoyou lowered her head and let Yang Jian follow behind her.
Under Molloy's direction, others began researching LG's 3D printer.
In the corner, Song Xiaoyou used gauze instead of Yang Jian, and the gauze was coated with herbs she had ground herself.
Lu Wuyai smelled it; there was a faint minty scent in the air. He applied it to his wound, which made him feel cool.
"This ointment also contains mint," Yang Jian asked.
Song Xiaoyou nodded. The pure ointment had an earthy smell, so she added a little mint to make it smell more pleasant.
Lu Wuyai sighed, thinking how terrible it would be if Song Xiaoyou suddenly disappeared from the team.
After treating their wounds, the two returned to the central cubicle, the largest space. Two black 3D printers were plugged in, and Molloy was controlling the computer, ready to try her hand at it.
"How long will it take?" Yang Jian asked.
"It's just a piece of clothing, and it will definitely be faster than you think." Molloy gave a strange, cold laugh, making Lu Wuyai feel uncomfortable all over.
All the machines were ready. After Molloy took control of the computer, a continuous loop of sound appeared in the cubicle.
It is estimated that it takes 8 hours to print one protective suit.
