"I'll give it a try. I haven't made dumplings in years." Song Xiaoyou smoothed the hair off her forehead and tried making dumplings for the first time on a deserted island.
As for the others, they weren't idle either. After all, no one wanted to fall behind, and everyone wanted to eat the dumplings they cooked.
For a time, it was the meat chopping method that Lu Wuyai trusted the most.
The minced meat was made with the finest Wagyu beef. Lu Wuyai thought to himself, even if he sold it, it wouldn't fetch an exorbitant price.
Shaking his head, Lu Wuyai resumed chopping meat. He had found a cleaver in the container earlier. It was extremely sharp, with some kind of golden thread on it. He held it in his hand; it was very steady.
Half an hour later, Lu Wuyai looked at the sliced beef and his stomach started to rumble.
Here, a few women were still making noodles, but they were more interested in having fun. Aside from Song Xiaoyou, the only one who was truly serious was Jin Xilu.
Looking at the other person's graceful figure, Lu Wuyai couldn't help but sigh that he had indeed become much more mature with age.
Thinking of what Jin Xilu had said to her before, Lu Wuyai, who had worked hard all night, couldn't help but lick her lips again.
“He’s getting more and more degenerate.” Lu Wuyai unintentionally saw Moloy wink at him again, and secretly thought that this was another outstanding immortal.
In the past, Lu Wuyai thought about finding someone, choosing a city, and living a peaceful life for the rest of his days, but now he is thinking about starting a harem life.
"Forget it, if I can live another day, I should enjoy it to the fullest. Maybe when I wake up tomorrow, I'll be a pile of bones." Lu Wuyai shook his head, thinking about his own affairs, and got back to work.
At six o'clock, the dumpling wrappers were finally rolled out.
Looking at the standard round dumpling wrapper, Lu Wuyai secretly admired Song Xiaoyou's cleverness. He was lucky tonight.
"Tonight's dumplings are beef and cabbage." Yang Jian said as he brought out the chopped pork and cabbage, then handed them to the six women.
At dusk, Lu Wuyai went out. Lately, the time of day had begun to change. At 6:30, the sky was just beginning to darken.
Lu Wuyai arrived at the edge of the pool. To be precise, the pool was no longer visible. It was covered in snow and completely frozen in the low temperature.
Standing on the rocky mountain, looking around, the sky is full of color, like a dream.
However, Lu Wuyai still noticed that the radiation was slightly lower tonight compared to yesterday, especially in the east, where the light was less noticeable. Conversely, in the windy northwest, there was a feeling of fiery clouds at dusk.
Half an hour later, Lu Wuyai returned to the cave and found that everyone was already preparing to cook dumplings.
Of course, we haven't finished the dumplings yet, but that doesn't stop us from eating.
The movie was slowly unfolding. Lu Wuyai glanced at it and realized that it was actually a movie about a plane crash, but it was filmed after they were stranded on a desert island. He had never seen anything like it before.
New Year, new movie, eating dumplings, drinking cola in winter—the atmosphere inside the cave was extremely relaxed and joyful.
The dinner included everything from dumplings to Huayu beef, from Wagyu beef to potato chips. At midnight, nobody was asleep. I watched two movies; I just felt like everything that's happened this year was a bit too surreal.
Lu Wuyai sighed. It was the New Year, and he had grown another year older.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Lu Wuyai lay alone in the cave.
Half an hour ago, he had just handed over his monthly rations. As a result, Molloy fainted twice in a row. If he hadn't begged for mercy at the last minute, Lu Wuyai would have been prepared to fight him three hundred times.
As he left, Molloy cursed Lu Wuyai, calling him a beast.
Tonight, we say goodbye to the old and welcome the new; everything has changed.
Outside, a blizzard is raging on the deserted island, but inside the cave, there is peace and tranquility.
Finally, Lu Wuyai adjusted the earplugs and slept peacefully.
The next morning, after discussing everything, they went to see the snow. After all, they hadn't had a proper relaxation in a long time.
The matter inside the cave was temporarily settled. Lu Wuyai thought for a moment and agreed to everyone's decision.
“You have to ask him why he does everything.” Moro rolled his eyes and put a hand on his waist. He had worked hard for two hours last night and almost broke his bones.
Kim Seok-rok, standing nearby, said, "He's the only man, so of course you should ask him."
“There’s a problem.” Morova took a breath and blew on the hair on his forehead.
After donning protective suits, the group of seven arrived at the cave entrance and pushed aside the wooden planks above. However, it was still completely dark.
Lu Wuyai turned on his flashlight and found that the entrance to the cave was blocked by a container. No wonder it was so dark.
"Go in through the entrance to the tomb chamber," Yang Jian said.
There was no other way to go, but fortunately, another entrance had been dug earlier. Everyone passed through the tunnel and arrived at the tomb chamber. They pushed aside the iron plate inside and emerged into a white world.
The snow outside was falling heavily and was very thick. Lu Wuyai dug for a long time before finally managing to crawl through.
Putting on their skis, the seven men blocked the entrance to the basement, leaving the general and marshal to watch over the house.
"The snowstorm is too heavy." Su Xi couldn't help but sigh.
At this moment, looking at the vast white world outside, it's impossible to tell whether this is a deserted island or a white continent.
There are no shipping containers because the boxes are buried deep under the snow. An unsuspecting person could slip and fall, eventually suffering serious injuries.
Everyone was very careful, but in the end, they still slipped into a weak spot and suddenly everyone was gone.
At this point, Lu Wuyai only had time to hear this exclamation. Turning around, he found himself alone in the vast snowfield.
"Where is the person?"
"She fell down again."
Lu Wuyai covered his forehead, speechless for a moment. Less than five minutes after leaving home, this was his third mysterious disappearance.
On his way here, Lu Wuyai saw the six women in the snow pit and sighed helplessly.
After digging one slope, the group stood on the snow again.
“There are a lot of shipping containers here,” Anna said.
Indeed, there were many iron boxes nearby, and most of them still had their latches on. These were extremely valuable resources to them.
"First, we went to the rocky hill, where all the off-road vehicles were. I don't know if the blizzard destroyed them."
Before the blizzard arrived, Yang Jian nailed his off-road vehicle to the rocky mountain, hoping it would still be usable.
To avoid falling into the snowdrift again, everyone decided to walk. Although it was slower, it would reduce the chance of making a mistake.
This journey, which usually takes only ten minutes, actually took half an hour to reach the rocky hill.
But when we finally reached the rocky mountain, we found it had turned into a plain. If we hadn't been so familiar with the route, no one would have been able to find it.
Upon reaching the rocky hill, Lu Wuyai and the others began shoveling snow. There was no need to worry about being caught in a blizzard, as the blizzard was still raging, and the snowflakes were piling up far faster than they had imagined.
The first snow kicked out was blocked by the second snow kicked out.
"Dig out the snow path, otherwise it will be too slow." Lu Wuyai wiped his sweat, abandoned his previous idea, stepped directly onto the snow, and began to dig along the gravel path towards the cave entrance.
In fact, the mountain was blocked by heavy snow, and they couldn't even find the exact entrance. They had to dig their way through while also being wary of sudden snow avalanches overhead.
They worked for several hours, and when they finally found the puddle, they realized they had taken the wrong path.
But the rest of the way was much simpler. Yang Jian went to find the vehicle parked near the puddle, while the others went to find the opening blocked by the container to see if there was any way to move it.
Upon reaching the east side of the pool, Yang Jian found three vehicles and tried filling them with water, finding that they were usable. However, after driving for several days, there weren't many kilometers left, something Yang Jian had never anticipated.
Upon arriving at the entrance, Su Xi and the others saw two boxes with the clasps still intact, indicating that the blind boxes could be opened again.
"What is this?" Several women looked at the countless pieces of silvery-white fabric in the box. There were many labels on them. They didn't look like ordinary fabric for making clothes.
Tang Xin also tried to slash twice with the dagger, but there wasn't a single mark.
It was burned to ashes by the flames.
“This is aerospace material,” Molloy said suddenly, his eyes gleaming.
"You said this thing is specifically for aerospace. Like the space station built on another planet in the movies," Lu Wuyai said, his eyes wide.
Seeing Molloy nod, the others didn't react much. After all, this thing was quite far removed from daily life, but they just felt it was a bit high-end.
“Take some back with you. This stuff is radiation-proof, and the material is no worse than the clothes we wear,” Molloy said.
As for the other box, it was empty, which caught the attention of the others. After all, they had used an empty container before, so using the same method now should yield the same result.
But now, the snowstorm is too heavy, and there's nothing we can do.
So there was nothing they could do on this trip. They couldn't drive or move the containers. They had to return the way they came.
They stumbled and fell all the way back to the cave, bumping into a few more containers, but there were no surprises.
The box contained some skincare products. Although there weren't many, they looked quite high-end. However, on a deserted island, these things were as worthless as gold.
However, the women still brought some back. A love of beauty is in a woman's nature, especially for women who love beauty.
Back in the tomb chamber, looking at the generals and marshals guarding the entrance, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed no one had ever discovered this place.
A few minutes later, the tomb door closed, and the heavy snow continued to cover all traces of them.
During the Lunar New Year, almost everyone lives underground. The wind and snow outside are too strong, so there's no point in going out.
Lu Wuyai and the others would occasionally open the blind boxes, but always near the rocky mountain.
On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, they dug a rectangular hole in the ground and pushed the empty container outside.
That's right, the empty containers were pushed directly into the hole using their arms.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief the moment the container fell into the pit.
Cover the container in the pit with stones. From the outside, there is no trace of it.
Soon, everyone entered the cave and began to reorganize the supplies.
Yang Jian placed the wooden frame he made into the container to facilitate the placement and storage of items.
"Put the diesel fuel in first," Yu Mengrou reminded her.
Lu Wuyai glanced at him. Because the cave was heated, everyone was dressed casually. This former flight attendant had a great figure; she had recently gained a lot of weight and regained her breathtaking curves.
Seemingly noticing someone staring at her, Yu Mengrou turned her head and found it was Lu Wuyai, her fair face carrying a hint of shy charm.
Lu Wuyai's heart raced, and he let out a long breath.
Two hours later, the cave had opened up considerably, and the containers were not completely full. There was a gap in the middle, allowing people to find supplies.
Afterwards, everyone returned to the cave and rebuilt the compartments using the piled-up firewood. However, recently, with more people and more carriages, the space available to each person has naturally become smaller.
Simply put, Lu Wuyai moved into a shipping container to sleep alone. The space was large, but the air was a bit stuffy.
The container was not far from the cave. There was only a ten-meter-long tunnel in between, but it was pitch black inside, and you couldn't see anything inside.
After dinner, the women watched a movie as usual, leisurely and relaxed. To those who didn't know better, they looked like a group of people having fun in the wild. They had even dug a hole in the ground specifically to enjoy life.
Lu Wuyai leaned against the cement wall, eating potato chips in his arms. He heard a slight sound and, without realizing it, he was hypnotized and fell asleep.
When he woke up, only Su Xi and Yu Mengrou were left in the carriage.
"What about the rest?" Lu Wuyai rubbed his eyes, took a nap, and felt much more refreshed.
Su Xi said, "Go to sleep, you should rest too."
Lu Wuyai shook his head, glanced at the movie on the projector, and thought to himself, "These two people really have no tires."
At this point, Yu Mengrou glanced at him, then drank her cola alone, enjoying the rare quiet.
The next day, Lu Wuyai came out of the container, stretched, and went to the entrance of the cave, ready to go out for a walk and open the blind box.
In the past two days, the wind and snow have subsided considerably, the ribbons that previously filled the sky have disappeared, and the radiation seems to have vanished as well.
Today, the deserted island was almost completely covered in snow. Lu Wuyai estimated that the snow on the beach was at least ten meters thick, completely blocking everyone's view. Moreover, the snow layer was very thick and probably wouldn't melt anytime soon.
Lu Wuyai touched the hard snow layer, then used a shovel to chop at the spot from yesterday, quickly creating a step that he could step on.
"It's still slippery." Yang Jian tried it. Halfway there, he rolled right to the edge of the hole. His knees were killing him; if he were a woman, he'd probably be crying by now.
However, this is the most convenient, and only, way to climb up the snow.
After several attempts, Lu Wuyai finally stood on the snow and looked around. The scene was almost identical to yesterday. There were no green decorations; everything was white.
It was still snowing heavily, but the wind still greatly obstructed visibility.
Looking into the depths of the deserted island, all one could see was a vast expanse of white, with very undulating terrain.
Lu Wuyai stepped onto the ground, and it was exceptionally solid. He believed the snow in other parts of the deserted island was the same.
"The weather will be terrible if we don't ski."
So Lu Wuyai quickly returned to the cave and called all those who were willing to go, wanting to take this opportunity to see what the depths of the deserted island were like.
"Bring plenty of food."
Tang Xin said loudly that she considered this trip a winter outing and was ready to have a great time.
As a result, Lu Wuyai waited at the cave entrance for more than half an hour before he saw women gradually emerge.
After checking their weapons and changing their skis, it was almost noon before the seven of them finally set off.
Since it was Yu Mengrou's first time skiing, Yang Jian had to stay by her side and help her as quickly as possible.
Unexpectedly, Yu Mengrou is a skiing prodigy.
After falling a few times, she started to practice better, even better than others.
"That's excellent too."
Lu Wuyai sighed, bent down and quickened his pace, urging the others to gather at a certain hilltop ahead.
Soon, the group began to fall apart, snowflakes fluttered down, and the air was filled with the scent of freedom.
In the snow, Lu Wuyai paused for a few seconds, turning back to look at the woman following behind him. He was cautious, focusing his attention on the surrounding area.
Even though it's a short trip, safety is still very important.
Half an hour later, everyone regrouped, staring at the women whose chests were heaving. Lu Wuyai swallowed hard.
“Tell me, now that the sea is frozen, can we glide all the way home?” Su Xi suddenly asked.
Everyone looked at each other, unsure how to respond to Tang Xin. Perhaps at some point they had considered this, but they found it unbelievable.
Seeing that many people remained silent, Lu Wuyai suggested giving it a try. He was free anyway. Although the chances of going home were slim, he still held onto some hope.
After adjusting their direction, everyone began to slide back towards the beach in the direction they had come from.
The next road leads to the sea.
At this time, the snow was falling heavily, and the entire route was through the frozen sea.
Occasionally, you can also see some underwater scenes, such as frozen sea fish and bubbles of different sizes.
They stopped half an hour later.
Ahead, a white snow-capped peak appeared. It wasn't particularly tall, but at least seventy or eighty meters high. Lu Wuyai walked over, took a shovel from the bamboo basket behind him, and shoveled a few times at the base of the peak. Naked black stones.
"It must be an island formed during the last tsunami," Lu Wuyai guessed, and he was sure he was right.
There are more than a dozen snow-capped peaks like this nearby, one after another, looking quite desolate.
The team members bypassed the obstacles and continued gliding forward.
This time, it wasn't until 3 p.m. that the seven people finally stopped abruptly with a crisp crackling sound.
At this moment, the snow has stopped falling, and the sun shines on the earth at a 45-degree angle, its golden rays spilling onto the pristine white snow. The weather here is completely different.
But if you go any further, the water is shimmering and there is clearly no way to go.
“Let’s go back,” Yang Jian said. “From there onwards, it will no longer be a place they can touch.”
Tang Xin looked helpless and turned to leave with Lu Wuyai.
The others also left one after another, leaving the golden sunlight behind and hurrying back to the deserted island.
However, half an hour later, the direction of the deserted island suddenly turned gloomy.
