"You must be careful," Su Xi warned. She regretted it now. In this vast sea of people, saving someone was incredibly difficult.
“Don’t worry, we’ll come back if there’s no other way.” Lu Wuyai said that although their intention to save people was good, it would be too much of a waste to take advantage of him.
Soon, the raft left the beach and slowly approached the accident site at a steady speed.
Lu Wuyai sat in the front, carefully observing the sea. Especially when he noticed several triangular flags approaching the raft, he decisively chose to fire.
The bullet struck the sea with a dull thud, and the strong smell of blood immediately rose to the surface of the black water.
Shooting at such close range makes it easy to hit the target.
Soon, many shark carcasses appeared on the surface of the sea.
Lu Wuyai said to Yu Mengrou, "When you leave here, the smell of blood will definitely attract more sharks."
Yu Mengrou nodded, and she and Lu Wuyai rowed swiftly into the distance. As for Song Xiaoyou, she gazed at the distant sea the entire time.
A few minutes later, Song Xiaoyou suddenly said, "Half of the disintegrated plane is still on the sea, and some people have survived."
The distance from the accident site to the shore is a full 500 meters. After the initial impact, very few people were able to swim to shore using only their physical strength.
In other words, these people who get off the plane may very well perish at sea en route.
"Are there many people?" Lu Wuyai asked.
Song Xiaoyou looked carefully for a while, then shook her head: "I can only see five people for now, distributed in a general direction."
Song Xiaoyou pointed to an area ahead. Lu Wuyai and Yu Mengrou squinted, able to make out some of the scene.
“There are sharks,” Yu Mengrou warned.
Lu Wuyai nodded. He had killed a group of sharks before, but he hadn't expected another group to come. Luckily, he had brought enough bullets.
Five minutes later, Lu Wuyai finally saw the first figure splashing on the water.
But before they could get close, the other party suddenly sank to the bottom of the sea. Amidst the sound of bubbles, Lu Wuyai and the others were never seen again.
“Drowned.” Lu Wuyai shook his head, his oar moving much faster.
Song Xiaoyou sighed: "One person died over there too."
"However, some people still got off the plane."
The raft gradually picked up speed, and some people spotted it approaching by the moonlight.
"Help!"
On the sea, someone was shouting for help. Lu Wuyai was very sensitive to life and immediately spotted the person crying for help.
He was an extremely awkward-looking person, and a fat man. He was holding a float and seemed to be alright for the time being.
"Ignore him for now, let's find someone else." Lu Wuyai said, and the two women nodded. After all, the other party had a decorated car, so they couldn't die just yet.
But in the fat man's eyes, the man and two women on the raft clearly didn't want to save him. Their faces dark with anger, they swam desperately toward the deserted island.
As Lu Wuyai listened to the sound of the flowing water and watched the fat man swimming away, he subconsciously wanted to remind him, but the next second, a miserable voice rang out.
"Forget it, we'll save one next time." Lu Wuyai shook his head, unable to speak.
But they did not feel guilty about the fat man's death.
The raft continued to swim forward, and soon the first person to be rescued appeared.
She was a young girl. Perhaps because of the disaster, she had a deep, visible scar on her cheek, which was considered to be completely disfigured.
But now, she clearly felt relieved, looking at the man and woman on the raft with a hint of curiosity.
Are you a refugee too?
Hearing the familiar Chinese, Lu Wuyai and the other three were very curious because the girl who was rescued was a woman from the White Bear Country.
“We are also survivors of the plane crash,” Yu Mengrou explained.
The girl nodded, and then asked a few more questions, most of which were related to the desert island.
Soon, the second survivor was also rescued on the raft.
This was a middle-aged man who spoke fluent Bangzi Mandarin. Song Xiaoyou chatted with the man for a few words, but the man seemed unusually excited and even rushed towards Lu Wuyai.
As a result, the other person was kicked off the raft by Lu Wuyai, swallowed some seawater, and was rescued again.
This time, the other party was much more honest.
"What's wrong?" Lu Wuyai spat into the seawater, feeling speechless.
"Xiao You, check if there's anyone around here again," Lu Wuyai asked.
Song Xiaoyou nodded, keeping glancing around the plane. At this moment, they were only fifty meters away from the wreckage.
At night, the sea breeze made people shiver, but Lu Wuyai and the others were eager to save people.
Although the plane was still floating on the sea, Song Xiaoyou could see with the naked eye that the wreckage was still slowly descending.
At the same time, she did see that there were still some people alive on the plane.
From the airplane window, Song Xiaoyou saw some desperate faces.
“Some people may not be able to swim,” Song Xiaoyou said.
When they were still ten meters away from the plane, Lu Wuyai and the others could clearly see the struggling figure on the plane.
“There seem to be too many people; the raft simply can’t carry that many,” Lu Wuyai said.
At this point, Yu Mengrou, who had been somewhat silent, said, "Every airplane should have an emergency slide. It should be located on the cabin door, with the words 'Emergency Slide' written on it."
Upon hearing this, Lu Wuyai realized that the rescue slide was inflatable and could be used as a rescue tool.
Then, Yu Mengrou explained in detail how to inflate the rescue slide.
"Be careful when you go up," Yu Mengrou repeatedly warned Lu Wuyai not to get involved.
Lu Wuyai nodded: "Don't worry, I'll be going now."
After saying that, Lu Wuyai jumped off the raft and went straight to the wreckage of the sunken plane.
The cabin door was deformed due to the disintegration, making it impossible to open from the inside. Therefore, Lu Wuyai had to use brute force to open it from the outside.
On the raft, the girl and the middle-aged man watched as Lu Wuyai removed the hatch, their mouths forming an "o" shape.
Soon, Lu Wuyai entered the cabin and discovered that there were actually more than a dozen survivors inside.
No one was excited when they saw the cabin door open, because none of them could swim and they had no life-saving equipment with them.
They had seen the raft before, but it had never come near the engine room.
Lu Wuyai looked at the upper door of the hatch and noticed some text written in a foreign language. He guessed that it must be a life-saving slide.
However, the hatch was broken. Following Yu Mengrou's instructions, this was clearly impossible. Lu Wuyai could only lower the slide by hand and then hang it at one end. The crumpled slide immediately swelled up.
Then, Lu Wuyai tied both ends tightly, placed the slide next to the cabin, and shouted, "Come down quickly!"
The dozen or so survivors took a deep breath and quickly carried their luggage to the cabin door.
However, a strange man suddenly tried to squeeze past Lu Wuyai and walk towards the driver's seat.
"What do you plan to do?" Lu Wuyai frowned and stopped him directly.
The other person glanced at him without explaining, and reached out to push Lu Wuyai aside, but Lu Wuyai instead kicked him into the sea.
Seeing the man fall into the water with a splash, Lu Wuyai thought for a moment and walked towards the driver's cab. After searching for a while, he found two pistols and several walkie-talkies.
Lu Wuyai's eyes lit up when he saw the walkie-talkies.
“That guy probably wanted to put the thermal weapons here.” Lu Wuyai found a small black bag and put all the thermal weapons and walkie-talkies inside. Then he came out of the hatch and jumped directly into the water.
The icy seawater brought Lu Wuyai back to his senses, and he quickly swam towards the raft.
Not long after, Lu Wuyai returned to the raft and found that the inflatable mattress was also heading towards the beach.
"You two should go up too," Lu Wuyai said to the two people on the raft.
After Song Xiaoyou finished translating, the middle-aged man mumbled something for a while, then impatiently waved to the person on the inflatable mattress.
As for the girl from the White Bear Kingdom, she bit her lip and said nothing.
Song Xiaoyou's translation: "That person from Bangzi County wants to go up."
Lu Wuyai pursed his lips. Just by looking at the other person's expression and actions, he could guess a thing or two.
“Then let him go. In any case, we did a good deed today,” Lu Wuyai said.
It is said that saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda. In one night, Lu Wuyai and others saved nearly 20 people.
Soon, the raft and the inflatable mattress collided, and the middle-aged South Korean man immediately jumped on.
So, Lu Wuyai looked at the girl from the White Bear Kingdom. Her whole body was full of collagen, making her look particularly energetic.
But now, the girl is sitting on the raft and refuses to inflate the air mattress.
Song Xiaoyou glanced at Lu Wuyai, who looked up and gestured for her to persuade the girl.
After all, saving lives and handling the aftermath are two different things.
But after some conversation, the girl from the White Bear Kingdom shook her head, almost biting her lip.
"What's wrong with this woman?" Lu Wuyai frowned, stood up from the raft, and prepared to throw his opponent over hard.
But in the end, Song Xiaoyou shook her head, pulling Lu Wuyai along.
"Her relatives all died during the disintegration process. Leaving her there probably won't end well." Song Xiaoyou's words undoubtedly indicated one thing: allowing this woman from the White Bear Kingdom to live with them.
“I didn’t think about this when I left home.” Lu Wuyai sat on the raft. This action immediately relaxed the girl’s tense body.
Song Xiaoyou glanced at the other person and continued to say to Lu Wuyai, "We can make her eat grass for us, and we can build a place for her to live."
Song Xiaoyou's words immediately made Lu Wuyai and Yu Mengrou's eyes light up.
Indeed, their workload has undoubtedly increased significantly since the cowshed was rebuilt. If someone were to come and help, things would certainly be much easier.
“Your method is correct.” Lu Wuyai looked at the girl from the White Bear Kingdom and recounted what had just happened. The girl nodded, seemingly pleased.
“I can work as long as you provide me with food and shelter.” The girl’s expression was serious, or rather, she was hiding her grief. After all, her relatives had all perished in the plane crash.
The Gruffalo.
Hearing the sound, Lu Wuyai turned around and found that the plane had been completely swallowed by the sea.
Later, Lu Wuyai asked the girl for some information, including her name, age, and recent events in the outside world.
"My Chinese name is Li Ruisi, and I just turned 18 this year."
Eighteen years old.
As Lu Wuyai watched the other person's figure, he suddenly murmured to himself, "This woman from the White Bear Kingdom is really just like the rumors say. She is tall, precocious, and with that devilish figure, she is practically an adult."
Seemingly noticing Lu Wuyai's eyes, Li Ruisi appeared uneasy.
"Tell me what's going on outside and where you're going."
Li Ruisi took a breath and said, "We're going to the world's second highest peak."
"Why not go to the First Peak?" Lu Wuyai blurted out, then thought for a moment and said, "Are you considering converting to Buddhism?"
“Okay.” Li Ruisi nodded, then said, “The outside world is in chaos; only certain places are safe.”
"What's going on outside?" Yu Mengrou couldn't help but ask.
As if he had thought of something terrible, Li Ruisi trembled all over, and his expression changed.
Seeing this, Lu Wuyai and the others exchanged bewildered glances.
"Many people died."
"Those people, with their red eyes, devour people without spitting out the bones, like locusts."
Sure enough, he had conjunctivitis.
Lu Wuyai frowned. They had received some information before, knowing that there were also patients with conjunctivitis outside, but they had never received accurate information.
This time, rescuing these people will undoubtedly give them a new understanding of the outside world.
“No one knows how the initial disaster began,” Li Ruisi said slowly, calming down.
"I first realized the disaster was happening when the nuclear bomb exploded."
Regarding nuclear weapons, Lu Wuyai and others also realized some problems. Gu Yuxin even speculated that nuclear radiation might have formed some kind of virus and bacteria, which further infected humans, ultimately leading to those patients with conjunctivitis.
"You know there are so many nuclear weapons in the White Bear Country. When the explosions started, I even thought the country was going to be razed to the ground."
"Fortunately, our home is in such a remote area that we managed to survive."
Li Ruisi looked at Lu Wuyai, who seemed hesitant to speak, and said, "If you're going to ask me why the nuclear explosion happened, then I don't know."
"All I know is that a nuclear explosion is a global catastrophe. Within days, nuclear weapons from some major powers have spread throughout the world. It is a level of destruction for any living thing."
Upon hearing this, Lu Wuyai couldn't help but sigh.
"In the winter following the nuclear explosion, food was the most scarce resource. To survive, we had to go to some large cities in search of food and water."
"And during this process, I encountered a patient with red eyes for the first time..."
Later, Li Ruisi talked about some things related to patients with conjunctivitis, which most of Lu Wuyai and the others already knew.
However, there are still some differences.
"Illuminating the eyes of a person with conjunctivitis for more than three seconds can cause hallucinations."
"People with conjunctivitis cannot swim. Even if they were swimming champions before they got the disease, they will become unable to swim after they get the disease."
"They are not afraid of the sun, but they don't like to come out during the day unless they are very hungry..."
As Li Ruisi continued her narration, the raft gradually came to a stop on the shore.
"Let's get off the ship first, and we can talk about the rest when we get back."
Meanwhile, the survivors on the inflatable mattress also arrived safely, standing on the beach with slightly bewildered expressions.
Therefore, Lu Wuyai and the others had no obligation to continue taking care of each other. After hiding the raft, they took Li Ruisi and got into the car.
Su Xi and the others were naturally curious about the sudden appearance of a girl, but the most important thing right now was to leave this place immediately.
In the darkness, they led Li Ruisi through the coconut grove, got her into the car, and immediately started the engine.
"Go quickly!" Lu Wuyai shouted. He had already seen the survivors groping their way out of the beach.
To be honest, saving the person was possible, but when it came to the aftermath, Lu Wuyai and the others were unwilling to help. This wasn't because they were cold-blooded, but because helping the other party might bring even more trouble.
Among these people, Lu Wuyai noticed that many of them were carrying guns.
In the aftermath of the disaster, in the world beyond the deserted island, gun control has become increasingly weak, and there are quite a few people who own guns.
“Let’s take a detour, sleep in the car tonight, and go back to the cave tomorrow,” Lu Wuyai said temporarily.
No one objected to this. They knew that Lu Wuyai was worried about the tire tracks being discovered, and also about an accident.
Finally, the car stopped outside a strange, barren forest.
After parking the car and opening the window, Lu Wuyai said to Li Ruisi, "Get a good rest tonight, I'll take you somewhere tomorrow."
Li Ruisi nodded, looking around with great curiosity. She noticed that the women in all three cars were very beautiful. They were all stunning beauties, especially their figures, which were simply devilishly gorgeous.
"You go to sleep first." Lu Wuyai got out of the car. The space inside the car was limited, and he hadn't brought a tent with him this time.
Neither Lu Wuyai nor Li Ruisi slept that night. The former was on night watch, while the latter was anxious and uneasy.
The next morning, Lu Wuyai and the others drove the same vehicles they had used the night before back to the sandy area, only to find that no one was there anymore.
However, many footprints were left in the same spot, and by following these footprints, one could find the direction in which the other person left.
That's not the direction of the rocky mountain, so you don't need to be so vigilant.
Afterwards, Lu Wuyai led them around in a circle and finally returned to the vicinity of the tomb chamber.
Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, Li Ruisi was quite curious, but Lu Wuyai and the other women took her directly to the cowshed.
"Your future job will be herding cattle for us," Lu Wuyai said, pointing to the dozens of cattle grazing on the grassland.
"Don't worry about food, drink, accommodation, or transportation. We'll arrange everything for you..."
"Can I live with you?" Li Ruisi suddenly asked.
Lu Wuyai shook his head and said, "Not for now."
Hearing this answer, Li Ruisi couldn't help but feel a little sad, but after experiencing those bad things in the outside world, she quickly adjusted her mindset.
Later, Lu Wuyai began digging holes in the grass outside the cowshed.
Because it only needs to provide space for one person to move left and right, the entire structure does not need to be too large, and Lu Wuyai's digging speed is very fast, which surprised Li Ruisi.
She never imagined that a person could have such strength and endurance.
