During this time, they discovered many survivors, including some corpses rotting in the forest.
But what puzzled them was why there were still so many survivors after so long.
You must know that only a few dozen people survived on the plane. Logically speaking, there shouldn't have been that many.
At this moment, Su Xi pointed to a dense forest ahead. Lu Wuyai looked over and could still vaguely make out some figures.
“It seems there are more survivors. Should we go and ask them?” Su Xi asked.
Lu Wuyai thought for a while, recalling the previous times he had taken the initiative to ask the other party, and finally shook his head.
These survivors, like them, were highly vigilant and seemed to lack nothing. They were probably looking at them out of curiosity.
Of course, Lu Wuyai and the others were also very curious about each other, and even considered using drones to explore their residences, but in the end they gave up.
First, they are living well now and don't want to cause trouble. Second, these survivors haven't overstepped their bounds. Everyone should have their own privacy.
"Let's get some wood ash and go," Lu Wuyai said.
The woman beside him nodded. She had come out mainly to collect some wood ash. After all, the vegetable garden still needed some finishing touches.
Lu Wuyai took a hoe and dug two holes, one large and one small, in the ground to minimize the smoke from burning ash.
After digging the hole, Lu Wuyai headed deeper into the forest. Although he didn't want to face the survivors, he also didn't want them watching him.
Sure enough, as Lu Wuyai entered the jungle, the peeping eyes disappeared one by one.
Under the dim light, Lu Wuyai carefully checked and returned only after confirming that the other party had left.
They were busy until 2 p.m., when the temperature in the forest reached its highest point of the day.
A basket of plant ash was ready. Lu Wuyai lifted it, but it felt unusually heavy.
On the way back, everyone encountered the sheepdogs that had come looking for them.
Both the general and the marshal seemed to be undergoing a second growth spurt. Their originally slender figures were becoming increasingly strong. Their half-squatting bodies could even reach Lu Wuyai's shoulder.
Such sheepdogs are rare.
"These two dogs definitely haven't been given any growth supplements," Gu Yuxin couldn't help but complain.
This marshal, in particular, who was originally not even as tall as the general, was now a head taller than the other man. When he emerged from the forest, he looked like a black bull with two bright green eyes on his head.
“Even Tibetan mastiffs are almost the same size.”
Lu Wuyai patted the dog's head, urging everyone to hurry up. They had to scatter the wood ash on the vegetable patch before dark.
Half an hour later, everyone drove to the vegetable garden.
The vegetable garden looks green from a distance today. The rapeseed planted half a month ago looks ready for harvest.
In fact, they had eaten chicken sprouts a few days ago. These are fresh green vegetables that taste better and are cleaner than the ones they used to buy in the mall.
"I'll pick some today and have some soup with dinner," Gu Yuxin said, licking her lips.
The soil on the gentle slope was of good quality. During this period, various rapeseed seeds planted earlier began to germinate, and even potatoes and sweet potatoes began to grow from the ground.
This time, Lu Wuyai followed Song Xiaoyou and began scattering wood ash. As for the others, they started clearing away the rampant weeds in the vegetable garden, nipping them in the bud.
As a result, this busy work did not stop until the very last moment of dusk.
As dusk fell, everyone started driving towards the cave, taking out green berries to ensure they could see in the dark.
Now, at night, no more glowing lights can be seen on the deserted island, which also makes it impossible to make phone calls and causes everyone to give up the idea of contacting the outside world.
The most important reason is that they have repeatedly confirmed that a major accident has indeed occurred in the world they once knew beyond the deserted island.
As they approached Shishan, the car began to slow down. Lu Wuyai opened the car door and used his ears to distinguish the sounds outside.
They started from the forest near the rocky mountain, setting up numerous traps. At first, they might have been just rope traps, not very deadly. But the closer they got to the pools and caves, the more various traps appeared, some even life-threatening. There were quite a few.
These traps were all set by Song Xiaoyou. From warnings to threats, these traps didn't kill anyone at first.
Most ordinary survivors will choose to leave after encountering a rope trap, unless they are some truly malicious people.
Of course, these traps are primarily designed for those man-eating monkeys.
Soon, Lu Wuyai heard some mournful cries, probably from a monkey trapped in a snare.
After parking the car, the others returned to the cave. Lu Wuyai led the general and marshal around the rocky mountain. There were too many traps here; only one route was truly safe.
When he reached the edge of the pool, Lu Wuyai saw a row of iron nails stuck in the soles of the two monkeys' feet. The screams earlier were caused by pain.
In the darkness, Lu Wuyai could clearly see the fur of the two monkeys, so he decisively moved the crossbow in his hand.
So far, two man-eating monkeys have died here.
Lu Wuyai walked over, used an iron arrow to impale the dead monkeys on the ground, and placed them beside the rocky hill. First, he was demonstrating to the monkeys; second, he was warning the other survivors not to come to this rocky hill.
Unexpectedly, on this day at the end of March, Lu Wuyai, who was resting in the container, suddenly heard a dense sound of footsteps coming from the rocky mountain.
At first, Lu Wuyai was a little worried, but he soon realized that the footsteps seemed to be staying in a certain area, neither moving forward nor backward.
So he went to the cave, and with the help of a periscope, he saw a group of survivors appear in the forest. There were about a dozen people, and each of them was in very bad condition.
Lu Wuyai frowned. Seeing that the other party had not entered the stone mountain, he did not want to leave for the time being.
But not long after, he heard the sound of the mechanism being triggered, followed by a series of actions.
Lu Wuyai immediately called the others. Upon learning that a group of survivors had entered the stone mountain, the women's expressions turned serious.
“I’ll go out and check first. If there’s any danger, you can come and save me.” Lu Wuyai said that if he were to destroy the traps here, it would cause a lot of trouble.
Moreover, Lu Wuyai recalled how the other party had hesitated in the forest earlier, and it seemed that he shouldn't have been so reckless.
Soon, Lu Wuyai led the general out of the cave.
Here, the group of survivors showed extreme panic when they saw a man and a dog, especially when they saw the general. Has anyone ever seen a sheepdog as large as a man?
Moreover, the general is a king dog capable of fighting wolves.
Woof woof
Upon seeing strangers and smelling their unfamiliar scents, the general immediately became excited. He barked wildly at the crowd, baring his teeth, looking like a man-eating wolf.
The survivors suddenly stopped, staring at Lu Wuyai with lingering fear in their eyes.
"We want to drink water."
Water is an essential element for life.
A person can survive for 15 to 20 days with water, but without water, physical decline can occur in just 3 days.
The survivors had food, but no water.
Upon hearing the other party's voice, Lu Wuyai immediately stopped the general's barking and stroked the dog's head to calm it down temporarily.
"How did you know there was water here?" Lu Wuyai asked. The pool was surrounded by stones, with the only outlet facing the rocky hill. You wouldn't know there was a swimming pool inside unless you went deeper in.
Lu Wuyai quickly found out the answer to this question.
Among the survivors, one pulled out a drone, which made Lu Wuyai sigh inwardly. Besides them, many others opened the blind boxes and came up with many interesting items.
However, the water in the pool is not so easily given to others.
Of course, Lu Wuyai and the others were not cruel people. They knew that once these people showed signs of dehydration, they would soon die.
In addition, and more importantly, Lu Wuyai wanted to exchange some information with them, because it was obvious that this group of people were not survivors of the plane crash.
“I can give you water, but you must exchange it for something,” Lu Wuyai said with a faint smile.
Crossing the road, the survivors in the forest looked at each other and finally nodded.
What intrigued Lu Wuyai during this process was that this group didn't have a clear leader. There were men, women, and people with diverse personalities.
Later, these people asked Lu Wuyai what he needed to drink water.
Regarding this question, Lu Wuyai went to the cave and took out a pen.
The paper had many things written on it, such as flour, salt, and some odds and ends. It seemed like everything was needed.
Lu Wuyai handed them the paper and said, "We need everything on it. You can change the water once and once."
How much water can be replaced?
“One project, one bucket of water. If it's flour and salt, it can be measured in kilograms.”
"very good."
Soon, Lu Wuyai watched the group disappear into the forest, leaving behind many plastic buckets.
Half an hour later, the first group of people returned, carrying various supplies, which surprised Lu Wuyai.
"Can you give us some water?" A long-haired girl looked at Lu Wuyai with a haggard expression; her chapped lips clearly showed that she hadn't had water in a long time.
Lu Wuyai nodded and patted the general on the shoulder. The latter picked up a bucket and ran straight to the swimming pool.
Upon arriving here, Lu Wuyai placed all the collected supplies into the basket he carried with him, but because there were too many items, they were temporarily scattered on the ground.
Suddenly, someone asked Lu Wuyai, "Are you all alone here?"
Lu Wuyai looked up at him, his calm eyes carrying a hint of sharpness.
"It's just me." Lu Wuyai smiled.
The other party was silent for a while, and finally watched as the general ran back and put the supplies he was carrying on the ground.
Lu Wuyai took a look and saw that it was a bundle of wool, which was also part of the supplies he needed.
And so, over the next hour, the survivors in the forest, having obtained enough fresh water, gradually disappeared into the depths of the forest.
However, there were still two people standing there, or rather, two young girls.
They looked at Lu Wuyai, then at each other, and then began to take off their clothes.
“Guru”.
Lu Wuyai swallowed hard, thinking about the women in the cave watching everything through the periscope. He immediately looked away and yelled at them to stop.
What do you want to do?
“We think we should stay.” The two girls looked at Lu Wuyai with numb eyes, though occasionally a glimmer of survival would flash through their gazes.
Lu Wuyai frowned, naturally understanding the awkward situation of a woman on a deserted island.
Without weapons, they would eventually become playthings for men. If all else fails, they might even become trading partners, or scapegoats in times of crisis.
Even so, Lu Wuyai still rejected the temptation before him.
However, to put his mind at ease, Lu Wuyai pointed to the location of the once dangerous peak and told them that there might be a water source there.
This news gave the two girls a lot of hope.
As they were about to leave, a slightly older-looking girl ran over, hugged Lu Wuyai, and told him that her name was Xia Qingming.
"This is for you." Lu Wuyai pulled a complete crossbow set from a nearby trap. This thing was specially modified by Song Xiaoyou. It was not only stable, but also extremely fast.
Xia Qingming, holding a crossbow, warned Lu Wuyai of the danger and told him that he was a good person.
Seeing the two girls leave, Lu Wuyai sniffed, picked up the items on the ground, and took three steps to complete the move. Finally, he led the general and closed the tunnel door.
At this moment, the women in the cave all looked at Lu Wuyai with strange expressions. Clearly, they had all witnessed what had happened earlier.
Lu Wuyai felt guilty and said, "Look at what I've done. I haven't done anything."
"Sigh, it seems someone originally intended to do something." Su Xi said, "Are we in your way?"
Hearing Su Xi's sinister tone, Lu Wuyai glared at her fiercely, mouthing something as he spoke. Su Xi instantly understood, her face turning bright red.
"Dogs and people." Gu Yuxin stomped her foot, suddenly remembering that she hadn't asked Lu Wuyai to hand over the public grain in the past month.
But soon, everyone got busy. There were so many supplies, but some things might not be safe.
"Check what you're eating to see if it's poisonous," Lu Wuyai said to Gu Yuxin. Gu Yuxin nodded, took out some tools from the container, and conducted a few simple experiments.
During this time, Song Xiaoyou took the marshal out and continued to set traps in many places on the rocky mountain. This time, she replaced all the original rope traps with trigger crossbows, which were naturally much more powerful.
Now that these people have found the water pit, the entrance to the cave could be discovered at any time, which makes everyone in the group uneasy.
As night fell, the calls of wild cats echoed through the cave, filled with an indescribable joy.
The next day, apart from Lu Wuyai and Su Xi, all the other women had dark circles under their eyes, showing that they hadn't slept well all night.
"Lu Wuyai, fix your container door and make sure it's locked tonight," Jin Xilu said angrily while eating.
Lu Wuyai was stunned for a moment, then understood and chuckled twice.
However, he still managed to repair the door that had been damaged by bullets, and the shipping container became his territory.
And so, the days passed one by one, and soon it was mid-April, and the temperature on the deserted island gradually rose.
Before they knew it, almost a year had passed since the day they arrived on the deserted island.
On the beach, seven people sat on the sand, enjoying the most comfortable sunbathing of the year.
Lu Wuyai lay in the nearby coconut grove. When he turned around, he could see a pair of long legs, neatly exposed.
The owners of these long legs were six stunningly beautiful women. As Lu Wuyai admired them, all sorts of indescribable images flashed through his mind.
Before he knew it, drool was dripping from the corner of his mouth. This scene was witnessed by several women at the same time.
"What are you looking at?"
"Shameless scoundrel."
Lu Wuyai's face was gloomy. He thought to himself that he couldn't be blamed for this, because it was someone who had made this scene so vivid and captivating.
However, Lu Wuyai withdrew his gaze and focused on the horizon where the sea meets the sky.
Since the radiation disappeared, they had lost all contact with the outside world. However, not long ago, Lu Wuyai finally obtained some information from the survivors and verified the facts with Xia Qingming.
The survivors who made the deal with them arrived on this deserted island by chance on a cruise ship, which was caught in a tsunami.
It's easy to imagine that a small cruise ship was powerless to stop a devastating natural disaster. The survival of these people to this day depends entirely on the supplies provided by the cruise ship.
In addition, Lu Wuyai also learned that a problem had indeed arisen in the city where they had previously lived, outside the deserted island.
These survivors, whether rich or noble, fled the land on cruise ships and sought a living at sea.
As for the nature of the crisis the city had fallen into, these people weren't entirely clear. They were just a group of family members and knew very little. Now they were forced to live on a deserted island all day long.
Today, only a few dozen people remain from a group of several hundred. Among them, there are more men than women, and the women's lives are more difficult than imagined.
Thinking of Xia Qingming and You Li, Lu Wuyai seemed lost in thought. Half a month ago, he had sent the two women to search for the perilous peak, and they had found it. After the tsunami's impact, the stream beneath the peak had more water than before, but it was also more easily exposed.
He had been counting down the days; it had been quite some time since he had seen those two women.
In the afternoon, Lu Wuyai walked out of the coconut grove and came to a stone pit, very close to the beach. The rising tide would submerge the stone pit.
Upon arriving this morning, Lu Wuyai discovered the peculiarity of the stone pit. There was only a gap in the stone for entry and exit, so he set a trap there, ensuring that fish could only enter but not exit.
As for bait, fresh animal offal is best suited for catching some large sea fish.
Most of the day had passed, and the surrounding seawater had receded somewhat, revealing most of the rocky pits. It was time to harvest.
So, Lu Wuyai took a water pump from the trunk of the car. After starting it, seawater began to be pumped out of the pit continuously.
In the blink of an eye, only a shallow layer of water remained in the pit.
