"Luckily we have these ice machines, otherwise this kind of weather would kill people," Su Xi couldn't help but say.
Inside the cubicle, the other women nodded in agreement, hoping that summer would pass quickly.
......
For several days in a row, the temperature on the deserted island remained high.
In the rice paddies, Lu Wuyai stared blankly at the golden rice ears. In a few days, the rice in these two paddies would be harvested again.
"Lu Wuyai, come out quickly." Su Xi's voice came from outside the rice paddy.
Lu Wuyai blinked, focused his attention, and turned to leave the rice paddy.
Outside, the sunlight was blinding, and the air seemed to be distorted by the heat.
"What's wrong?" Lu Wuyai asked. He noticed that several women nearby were looking up at the sky.
“I think a drone just flew by,” Song Xiaoyou said. She kept looking around, her eagle-like eyes giving her an extremely wide field of vision.
"Take it." Lu Wuyai looked around, but apart from the bushes, there was nothing to cover himself with. If he had a drone, he should have been able to see it immediately.
"What if it falls into the grass?" Xia Qingming asked.
So soon, they released the wolfhounds to roam the nearby grasslands. As it turned out, they actually found some drone debris.
"The plane crashed." Lu Wuyai looked at the shards in his hand, not paying much attention.
However, based on the drone's flight range, it is estimated that the person operating it should be nearby.
Lu Wuyai led the wolfhound around the nearby hill and indeed found some man-made traces.
On a small hill, he saw a few crooked blades of grass. Although the other party had tried their best to cover up the traces, some signs of damage were still left behind.
Lu Wuyai raised his head and looked ahead, but he couldn't see a single person.
Later, he went down the gentle slope and drove the wolfhound into the cowshed. Along the way, he checked the trap again to make sure it was safe.
As soon as Lu Wuyai returned to the rice paddy, he heard Gu Yuxin's voice.
“Recently, there seem to be many survivors here.”
“After all, it’s summer, so many people are probably looking for water,” Su Xi said.
“This is our third year on this deserted island,” Yu Mengrou sighed with emotion.
In the third year, they almost gave up the idea of leaving the deserted island.
More importantly, the outside world was also dangerous, no less so than the fear instilled in them by the deserted island.
"Hey, that looks like Gu Yuxin's car." At this moment, Song Xiaoyou looked at Shi Qiu in the south and said.
Soon, a familiar black sedan came to a steady stop near the rocky hill and the cowshed.
A woman with a stunning figure stepped out of the car. She looked like a witch from a comic book.
"Lu Wuyai!" Gu Yuxin called out. Several wolfhounds surrounded her, barking at her.
Lu Wuyai ran over and chased the wolfhound away.
Looking at the woman he hadn't seen for half a month, Lu Wuyai noticed that she seemed to be living a very comfortable life, and her previously dull skin had become radiant.
However, when he noticed the bloodstains on Gu Yuxin's chest, his pupils narrowed slightly.
"Why did you suddenly come?" Lu Wuyai asked.
Gu Yuxin took a breath, her expression changing: "Something happened over there."
......
That afternoon, Lu Wuyai drove with Gu Yuxin to the foot of the precipitous peak.
Lu Wuyai originally intended to come alone, but Xia Qingming and You Li also wanted to come and see, so two more people accompanied him.
As for the other women, they really didn't want to leave their caves because it was too hot in the summer.
As dusk fell, the two cars stopped one after the other on the familiar gentle slope.
Down the gentle slope, the babbling brook still flows, and a familiar figure is fetching water.
Gu Yuxin got out of the car and said, "Gu Yuxin."
Hearing the sound, Han Shuyi turned around, looked at Gu Yuxin, and smiled. Then, she saw Lu Wuyai, You Li, and Xia Qingming.
At this point, Lu Wuyai narrowed his eyes. He noticed that Gu Yuxin's body was also covered in blood. Remembering what Gu Yuxin had said earlier, he took a breath and rallied his spirits.
Upon reaching the open-air platform at the foot of the precipitous peak, Lu Wuyai discovered signs of a struggle. The concrete platform, which had been poured just a month prior, was also completely destroyed.
Lu Wuyai walked to the center, squatted down, and saw a footprint on the ground.
These are the footprints of some kind of animal; they actually penetrated the concrete.
Lu Wuyai took a breath, raised his fist, and punched the cement.
With a muffled thud, the cement crumbled, and the damage caused by Lu Wuyai was clearly more obvious.
However, this scene startled Gu Yuxin, and the way he looked at Lu Wuyai completely changed. It was just a humanoid brown bear.
"Keep your voice down." Gu Yuxin took a breath and couldn't help but look to the other side.
At this moment, Lu Wuyai was also staring ahead. In a corner of this open-air platform, three enormous brown bears were resting on the ground. Every now and then, they would flick their hands, which were larger than palm-leaf fans, to shoo away the annoying insects and flies of midsummer.
"Why didn't you just shoot them?" Song Xiaoyou frowned.
“I defeated them, killed a few, but you’ve already seen the result.” Gu Yuxin pointed to a spot where two pale corpses were pinned down by brown bears, clearly intended as food.
"These brown bears are too vengeful."
"And it's not just these few; more brown bears come after dark." Gu Yuxin's face was ashen. In fact, it had been like this for the past few nights. If these bears hadn't taken over her life, she wouldn't have driven to Lu Wuyai for help.
"Don't be nervous now, we'll talk about it later. Let's hide first," Lu Wuyai said.
Later, they returned the way they came and drove their car to the grassland behind the dangerous peak before dawn.
As they entered the treacherous peak from the grasslands, Lu Wuyai discovered that Gu Yuxin and the others had cleaned the place very thoroughly. Of course, living conditions were far better back then than they are now.
However, Lu Wuyai did not see much joy on the faces of these surviving women, but rather a look of worry.
Perhaps because it's summer, the women are dressed very coolly, with their arms and legs exposed, making them look very provocative wherever they go.
But soon, Lu Wuyai's attention was drawn to one roar after another.
Roar!
Xiong's voice came from the perilous platform. Lu Wuyai saw that everyone's expression seemed to be floating, and a trace of panic flashed in their eyes.
There used to be a concrete platform at the entrance. After Gu Yuxin arrived, she reinforced it with steel bars, making it impenetrable even to a bear.
However, Lu Wuyai still noticed the cracks in the cement. It seemed that it was only a matter of time before this place was destroyed.
There is a wooden door under the concrete platform, but it is currently blocked by a brown bear and cannot be opened.
“I’ll go up and check, don’t move,” Lu Wuyai said. He heard a suppressed panting sound. It seemed Gu Yuxin was right. At this moment, the sky was pitch black. There were probably many brown bears gathered on the platform.
Lu Wuyai walked up the cement steps. The height here was six meters, which ordinary brown bears or other animals could not climb over.
As he gradually began to see the outside world more clearly, Lu Wuyai couldn't help but take a breath.
"These brown bears have practically made the platform below the precipitous peak their den." Lu Wuyai looked at the densely packed brown bears and felt a chill run down his spine.
1, 2, 3......
Lu Wuyai counted them and found there were at least fifty brown bears there. Only then did he understand Gu Yuxin's helplessness.
Even with firearms, the power of bullets is ultimately limited. If they cannot kill all the brown bears immediately, it could be a huge disaster. Welcome these women.
In addition, Lu Wuyai also saw a lot of bloodstains on the cement wall below, guessing that the corpses he had seen earlier must have fallen from here.
As he walked down the cement steps, Lu Wuyai looked at the woman beside him and remained silent for a while.
"Let's eat first," Gu Yuxin suddenly said.
Soon, a dim light came on in the narrow passageway, and the women began to set out plates and chopsticks.
Lu Wuyai smelled the aroma of ginseng and looked up to see a tall woman walking over, carrying a pot of steaming rice with a ginseng stick on top.
“Ginseng rice.” The other person smiled at Lu Wuyai.
After that, there was meat, mutton, and vegetables. It was a very hearty meal.
Lu Wuyai didn't stand on ceremony. After eating and drinking his fill, he went to the grassland alone and took a backpack from the carriage. This was something Su Xi and Song Xiaoyou had prepared for him before he left.
Back on the concrete steps, Lu Wuyai opened his backpack and took out a large quantity of drugs.
Song Xiaoyou and Xia Qingming also stood up and began to help Lu Wuyai prepare the dosage of the medicine.
"Do you need our help?" Gu Yuxin asked, she really couldn't stand those brown bears. They not only took over their territory, but she also had to be careful when fetching water, afraid of being seen by the brown bears.
Lu Wuyai said, "Stay away. This drug can even make a whale faint instantly."
Half an hour later, Lu Wuyai left the passage with five bottles of poison, circled the treacherous peak, and returned to the platform.
At this moment, most of the brown bears were lying down asleep, and there were many insects and flies in the air. To be precise, the brown bears' body odor was so strong that it successfully attracted these insects that had hatched from the stinking ditch.
Soon, Lu Wuyai took out a bottle of poison and threw it at several brown bears nearby.
The bottle fell to the ground and shattered with a bang.
The next second, a cloud of white smoke quickly evaporated, completely stunning several nearby brown bears.
Lu Wuyai pinched his nose, holding his breath. He saw a wisp of white mist being blown away by the evening breeze and drifting towards him.
"This is a quick battle." Lu Wuyai looked at the four bottles of medicine left in his hand and threw them out as fast as he could.
In an instant, the entire platform was filled with white smoke. These drugs are highly volatile and have amazing effects.
In fact, Lu Wuyai had also considered using medicinal soaks to attract bears, but he felt it would be too wasteful. In any case, the current results are quite good.
After throwing away the medicine, Lu Wuyai turned and left the platform, waiting quietly for a while.
About five minutes later, Lu Wuyai looked up and saw that there was no brown bear standing at the foot of the precipitous peak. He drew a dagger from his waist and began tonight's bloody slaughter.
In just ten minutes, Lu Wuyai wiped the noses of more than fifty brown bears.
In an instant, the entire platform was filled with a strong stench of blood. Even Lu Wuyai, the instigator, couldn't help but vomit, throwing up everything he had eaten for dinner.
“A total of 54 brown bears,” Lu Wuyai shouted.
Soon, the other women also came out of the wooden door. Looking at the brown bear carcass on the ground, they felt as if a huge boulder had hit them on the head.
"Dispose of the corpses." Lu Wuyai wiped the blood off his dagger. The carcasses of these fifty-four brown bears could provide meat for a long time.
Moreover, bear meat tastes more appealing than beef and mutton.
However, just as everyone was preparing to dispose of the brown bear carcass, Lu Wuyai suddenly heard a scraping sound.
The sound immediately reminded him of a familiar scene.
"Don't move, go back quickly." Lu Wuyai's expression changed, and he quickly lowered his voice and shouted loudly.
Gu Yuxin frowned when she heard Lu Wuyai's voice: "What do you plan to do? The temperature is so high now. If the body isn't dealt with in time, it will decompose."
“If you don’t leave, you might die here.” Lu Wuyai didn’t have time to explain before he took Youli and Xia Qingming and immediately returned to the crevice.
Watching Lu Wuyai and the others disappear, Gu Yuxin frowned, feeling somewhat confused. However, she said to him, "Let's go back first. I feel a bit cold tonight..."
Hearing Han Shuyi's words, Gu Yuxin pursed her lips, called out to the person next to her, and then went back into the crevice.
As a result, when Gu Yuxin closed the wooden door, she suddenly saw a huge shadow emerge from the cliff.
"What is it?" Gu Yuxin felt a chill run down her spine, as if her skull was filled with ice, releasing icy air.
“It must be a large snake.” Lu Wuyai pressed his body against the nearby rock wall and told the others to turn off the lights.
The moonlight is beautiful tonight. Through the wooden planks, Gu Yuxin can clearly see everything happening on the platform.
When Lu Wuyai said it was a giant snake, Gu Yuxin refused to believe it. After all, the enormous shadow was truly indescribable.
But when she saw brown bears being devoured one after another, their orange eyes, bigger than copper bells, opening and closing, Gu Yuxin told herself: all of this must be a dream.
Whoosh whoosh.
That was the sound of a giant snake rubbing against cement. Gu Yuxin pressed her body tightly against the wooden board. At that moment, she almost collapsed.
She never expected that there would be such a large snake on the deserted island.
With a bang.
Suddenly, a dull thud came from the precipitous peak, and Lu Wuyai gasped. He thought it might be the sound of a giant snake crashing against the rock wall.
Alas.
In the narrow gap behind him, a woman covered her mouth to prevent herself from screaming out of fear, but her face, contorted with terror, trembled uncontrollably.
Lu Wuyai clenched his fist; from his direction, he could see the ferocious snake head.
At this very moment, the giant snake has surely already devoured the brown bear on the platform and is currently climbing this treacherous peak, likely preparing to leave.
It was very quiet inside; no one dared to make a sound, even though they were terrified inside.
About half an hour later, Lu Wuyai and the others, who could still see at night, finally breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the giant snake had disappeared into the dead wood forest at the foot of the mountain along the grass.
"No, it's okay." Gu Yuxin's voice was clearly filled with fear and dread.
Lu Wuyai nodded, suddenly realizing that these women did not have night vision and therefore did not know that the giant snake had left.
"It's alright, let's all rest for a bit." Lu Wuyai let out a long breath, turned around, and found that the other women were slumped on the ground, only breathing heavily.
Although they couldn't see anything at night, even just one glance at the giant snake that appeared in the moonlight was enough for them to remember it for a lifetime.
Giant snakes tens of meters long are probably only seen in movies.
"It must have been the brown bear's blood that attracted it," Lu Wuyai said. "After killing so many brown bears, the smell of blood has probably permeated the area."
The women were all a little tired from fear and anxiety. Even Yuri, who was in good physical condition, was still feeling dizzy and weak.
“This snake.” Lu Wuyai breathed a sigh of relief. He hadn’t expected that after so long, this giant snake would still appear here.
He thought of snakes shedding their skin. Could it be this giant snake, still shedding its skin at the bottom of the cliff?
If that's the case, it seems very unsafe for Gu Yuxin and the others to live here.
Therefore, Lu Wuyai told Gu Yuxin about this, and the woman was happy for a while.
“If that’s the case, I feel much safer.” Gu Yuxin actually laughed and said, “According to you, you’ve only seen the giant snake at night.”
"The worst part is, we don't go out at night; we just eat and drink here."
"If I had known about this giant snake, I wouldn't have called you. If I had sprinkled some chicken blood back then, I might have been able to catch all these brown bears tonight."
Seeing the excited Gu Yuxin, Lu Wuyai covered his head and couldn't speak.
"You'd better be careful; there might be more than one giant snake in the forest." Lu Wuyai frowned. The giant animals on the deserted island might not be just snakes.
At this moment, Lu Wuyai naturally thought of the vanished white wolf. If they were still alive, he didn't know what the scene would be like.
Gradually regaining her senses, Gu Yuxin looked at Lu Wuyai and said, "I plan to dig a hole down here, just like the one you dug on the hill."
“Here it is.” Lu Wuyai looked at the stone beneath his feet. This wasn’t a hole that could be dug out casually.
Initially, Lu Wuyai and the others wanted to dig a cave here, but the geology below was mostly rock, not soil.
“But things are different now.” Lu Wuyai thought of the generator and the drill. With these two things, there shouldn’t be any major problems.
By this time, the women had gotten up from the ground, started packing their things, and were getting ready to go to sleep.
Lu Wuyai also arrived at the stream at the bottom of the gentle slope, washed his face, and was just about to set up his tent to sleep when he turned around and saw Gu Yuxin walking over.
By this time, she had changed into new clothes, her hair was still wet, obviously she had just washed it, and there was a faint fragrance in the air.
"What's wrong?" Lu Wuyai blinked, feeling that Gu Yuxin had a unique charm now. She was wearing a long dress that perfectly accentuated her beautiful curves.
"I want to discuss something with you." Gu Yuxin lowered her head and pursed her red lips.
