On the other hand, Song Xiaoyou and Gu Yuxin felt the same way.
While waiting for the barbecue, Lu Wuyai picked a green apple from the basket; it tasted sour.
Perhaps because the only one in the team had gradually recovered, everyone seemed very relaxed. They sat in the orchard, chatting and laughing, their faces beaming.
Outside, the heavy rain continued, while the temperature in the orchard gradually rose. But not long after, a sudden hailstorm struck the deserted island.
"The weather is really weird."
Lu Wuyai raised his head and looked at the sky above the orchard. The crackling sounds were quite worrying.
Fortunately, the cow was fully roasted. They moved out of the orchard, back into the cave, and prepared to continue eating and drinking.
But Song Xiaoyou was a little worried about the cowshed. The hailstorm had come too suddenly. If the cowshed was hit, the animals inside would suffer.
After thinking it over, they decided they had to get out, but when they actually left the cave, they discovered that the scale of the hailstorm far exceeded their expectations.
At this point, the snow on the rocky mountain was riddled with potholes, and hailstones the size of fists were everywhere. Even more terrifying was the fact that if someone were to walk on it, there was absolutely no way to avoid being hit. If they looked up, they would surely be struck on the head and bleed profusely.
“We can’t go out.” Lu Wuyai shook his head. Even if he drove the car out, it would be damaged.
"Don't worry," Su Xi reassured Song Xiaoyou, "The cowshed has been reinforced; it should be fine."
At this point, Gu Yuxin nodded. She knew there was no way out now, and she just hoped the hailstorm would end soon.
The cave door closed again, and the aroma of the beef, fully cooked, filled the air, tantalizing the taste buds.
However, the roasting wasn't over yet. Su Xi brushed the fresh juices onto half of the cow's body. The aroma of the juices and the pungent smell of chili oil provided a completely new sensory experience.
At this moment, Lu Wuyai had already torn off a beef leg and immediately began to eat it.
In less than an hour, the cow was eaten, leaving only a skeleton.
Seeing that the women were all hiccuping, Lu Wuyai took some compressed biscuits and ate them as snacks.
As for his food intake, Lu Wuyai has basically given up on studying it.
After dinner, the hail continued to fall, and the temperature on the deserted island continued to drop. The white fog, visible to the naked eye, looked very cold.
"It's probably because the hail absorbs a lot of heat energy from the air during its formation..." Lu Wuyai closed his eyes thoughtfully, forcing himself to fall asleep.
The next day, the snow became crystal clear. The hail from the previous night had sunk into the snow, and after another night of freezing, they were perfectly combined, making it difficult to walk on.
With a bang.
Lu Wuyai fell to the ground, feeling as if his tailbone was about to break. He had lost count of how many times he had fallen.
The others were the same. On the way to the cowshed, they kept falling down, and several women were almost in tears.
The smooth hailstones had nowhere to go.
Just as he was about to reach the cowshed, Lu Wuyai jumped forward again, his chin landing on the ice. Besides the pain, he felt as if his skin was frozen by the snow.
"We've finally arrived." Everyone looked at the nearby cowshed and the intact house, which seemed to have escaped the damage caused by the hail.
Once they arrived at the cowshed, everyone got busy as usual.
Some people returned to the entrance of the shed to fetch feed. Others opened the door to graze and drove the cattle and goats out into the snow. The remaining people built a fire with cow dung at the entrance of the cowshed, melted the nearby snow, and began to clean the cowshed.
Lu Wuyai was carrying several steel bars, preparing to repair the cowshed. After all, yesterday's hail was quite heavy. Although the cowshed wasn't damaged in the end, many parts of it did shake.
Unfortunately, there was no welding machine here, so Lu Wuyai could only use some reinforcing adhesive to fix the steel bars together.
Inside the cowshed, everyone else was cleaning; the smell of disinfectant was really strong. Because of past experiences, these women were all wearing gas masks, so the disinfectant had no effect on them.
Having finished reinforcing the last steel bar, Lu Wuyai stretched and was about to go into the cowshed to take a look. Suddenly, a flash of fire appeared in the sky, followed by a muffled rumbling sound five seconds later.
Lu Wuyai glanced at it, and the familiar scene told him that this was what happened when the plane exploded.
Seeing the scene before him, Lu Wuyai was not too surprised.
As for the women who were herding livestock, they only felt a fleeting sense of surprise when they looked at the explosion cloud that appeared in the sky.
Jin Xilu ran over and asked Lu Wuyai, "Did the plane just explode?"
After receiving Lu Wuyai's confirmation, Jin Xilu gasped, guessing that none of the people on the plane would survive.
The explosion was so violent that anyone who survived it was a miracle of the universe.
But the next second, the sharp-eyed Song Xiaoyou noticed many small black dots along the path before the plane exploded. These dots were suspected to be survivors.
In the next few seconds, a large number of parachutes appeared beneath the thick clouds. To the naked eye, there were a total of 35 parachutes.
“It seems these people are quite well prepared,” Lu Wuyai said.
Ordinary commercial airliners are not equipped with parachutes. Firstly, in the event of an accident, there would be no time to prepare for an emergency evacuation. Secondly, many passengers do not know how to operate a parachute. Furthermore, the conditions for evacuating are demanding, which can easily lead to confusion and potentially greater disaster. There's a question...
In addition, ordinary commercial airliners fly at an altitude of 10,000 meters, where the temperature and air pressure are low, and people who exit the aircraft may die.
However, judging from the altitude at which the plane crashed and the condition of the parachutes used by those people, it was clear that the plane had been trained.
“These people seem different from the previous survivors,” Song Xiaoyou said. She could clearly see that each survivor was carrying a backpack. They were neither in a hurry nor a slow pace. Throughout the landing, some people seemed to be making gestures, but it was unclear what they meant.
Lu Wuyai pondered, "Could it be the army?"
Song Xiaoyou shook her head. She didn't know that at that very moment, most of the survivors had already fallen to the ground. The nearest vehicle was parked in the snow just a few hundred meters from the fence.
Lu Wuyai thought for a while and decided to take down the other party first and ask them who they were.
So soon, Lu Wuyai was about to run over with his gun, but there were fist-sized hailstones in the snow. He kept falling, his limbs aching terribly.
However, the person who landed on the ground was clearly uncomfortable. When he saw Lu Wuyai, the two were only a hundred meters apart.
From this distance, Lu Wuyai could clearly see his opponent's every move.
"He really has a gun."
When Lu Wuyai saw the man quickly pull a pistol from his backpack, his body rolled rapidly toward the ground. Suddenly, a volley of bullets appeared, and they were still attacking him.
Lu Wuyai took a breath, and as he rolled, he also drew a pistol from his waist. The bullet immediately pierced the air and fired at his opponent.
In just a few dozen seconds, the two men emptied all the bullets in their guns.
His opponent tried to run, but Lu Wuyai was faster. Despite scrambling and stumbling, Lu Wuyai's strength and stamina were several times that of a normal person. At a distance of fifty meters, he could still exert a little more effort to knock his opponent down, sprawling on the ground.
This person was Chinese. After being caught by Lu Wuyai, he didn't know what he was saying and just cursed.
Lu Wuyai thought the other person was too noisy, so he punched him twice, knocking him unconscious, and then carried him back.
Upon reaching the fence again, everyone entered the cowshed, closed the door, and watched as Lu Wuyai threw the man to the ground and then opened the backpack carried by another person.
As a result, all the materials inside were dug out.
“This flashlight is actually powered by solar energy.” Gu Yuxin’s eyes lit up.
Actually, it wasn't just the flashlight; many items in the backpack were related to the sun. Even the blanket had solar panels, seemingly designed to store heat in winter.
"These things are really cleverly designed." Gu Yuxin couldn't help but sigh.
Besides the flashlight and the cup, there was also a solar-powered water cup. Lu Wuyai tested it with snow and found that the cup could indeed collect heat in the sunlight.
"And this small solar generator."
Gu Yuxin was extremely excited about the palm-sized machine. He was practically a research workaholic, fascinated by any cutting-edge technology.
“Wake him up and ask him who they are,” Su Xi said.
Soon, stimulated, the other party woke up, looked at Lu Wuyai with a smile, and immediately remembered what had just happened.
As a result, this tough guy kept talking, mostly cursing and swearing.
As Lu Wuyai listened to Jin Xilu's translation, his face suddenly darkened. A hint of displeasure flashed across his face, and he reached out to grab one of the other's legs, intending to pry it off.
At this moment, the opponent was obviously startled when he felt Lu Wuyai's crushing power, but no matter how he struggled, Lu Wuyai's hand became harder and harder, making his breathing rapid.
“Lu Wuyai, he told you to let go,” Jin Xilu said.
Lu Wuyai laughed evilly, but instead of letting go, he took off the other man's shoe and broke off one of his toes.
Suddenly, a scream rang out from the cowshed, but Lu Wuyai stuffed another person's mouth with a smelly sock to shut him up.
"Please be quiet, I'm here." Lu Wuyai slapped the other person on the forehead again. The force was so great that it almost made the person faint.
Lu Wuyai said, "Ask him who he is and where these things came from."
Getting the answer was much easier than expected.
All the people who landed on the plane were from the same technology company. Before the disaster, they had some solar energy patents, but due to cost issues, mass production was difficult.
After the disaster, they never had a chance to leave. It wasn't until recently, when they found an old, dilapidated plane and a pilot at the airport, that they were able to leave this South Korean country, which had been completely conquered by people suffering from conjunctivitis.
But to their utter surprise, the plane encountered some problems at the end. Fortunately, they had taken precautions in advance, and most of them escaped.
After figuring out the cause of the matter, Lu Wuyai began to think about how to deal with this person.
“Ask him if he’s willing to exchange food. These solar-powered machines must be kept. Otherwise, we will be powerless to take them,” Gu Yuxin said coldly.
Lu Wuyai gave a helpless smile, but in the end he still traded a whole bag of marching rations and three magazines of bullets for everything in his opponent's backpack.
Seeing the other person limping away, Lu Wuyai then realized that the other person's clothes seemed particularly thin, yet he himself did not feel cold at all.
"It seems that the clothes can also absorb solar energy," Lu Wuyai thought to himself.
Later, everyone drove the cows and sheep back to the cowshed. Song Xiaoyou led the women to start milking, and Lu Wuyai accompanied Gu Yuxin to the cave, carefully placing the backpack in the laboratory.
Back at the cowshed, Lu Wuyai brought three drones and five land patrol robots.
Thirty-five people survived the plane crash, and most of them are now in the southeast of the rocky hill.
To guard against these suddenly arriving survivors, Lu Wuyai and the others controlled the machine and deployed spies in the vicinity in advance.
Especially those land patrol robots, they carry their own bombs, and the explosive power should not be underestimated.
Soon, three drones and five land patrol robots landed on a mountaintop several kilometers away from the cowshed, and their cameras clearly showed the surrounding area.
Inside the cowshed, most people were milking the cows. Seeing Lu Wuyai return from outside, Song Xiaoyou blushed and said, "Brother Lu Wuyai, could you help me put this milk in the cellar?"
"Don't be so polite to him," Jin Xilu snorted.
Lu Wuyai smiled and immediately reached out to pick up the water bucket near the cowshed.
“Let me have some peace and quiet. You have time to look at these screens and keep people away from the fence.” Lu Wuyai handed eight handles to Jin Xilu. The screens on them provided a clear view of everything around the cowshed.
Later, Lu Wuyai moved the bucket full of milk into the cave and stored it carefully. As for what happened to it afterward, only Song Xiaoyou knew.
After doing all this, everyone added some feed and marching rations to the cattle to ensure their health.
In a clean cowshed, a herd of cows and goats were grazing with their heads down. Lu Wuyai noticed that many of the cows seemed to have unusually large bellies. He wondered if they were pregnant.
Gu Yuxin nodded and informed them that not only were the cows pregnant, but there were also some female goats.
“However, they will have difficult childbirths, and the probability of death is still very high,” Gu Yuxin said with some worry.
Gu Yuxin patted her shoulder to reassure her.
Just then, Jin Xilu's voice came from outside, asking Lu Wuyai to come out. He seemed to have discovered some traces of survivors and was approaching the cowshed.
On the handle of a land patrol robot, Lu Wuyai happened to see three walking humans that could be pushed out of backpacks on their backs. These people were survivors who had jumped from the plane before.
"Detonate the land patrol robot when they get close," Lu Wuyai said.
Five minutes later, the land patrol robot was detonated by Jin Xilu. In the flash of light, the three survivors stopped immediately, but quickly headed towards the fence. Clearly, they had spotted the distinctive building in the snow: a cowshed.
Seeing this, Lu Wuyai frowned, and then he controlled the drone to keep attacking the opponents and stopping their advance.
The other party wasn't stupid. After blocking him several times, it was clear that someone didn't want them to get close.
Finally, these people actually set up tents at the foot of a nearby mountain, preparing to spend the night.
“We must drive them away, otherwise we will have to be on high alert at all times,” Jin Xilu said.
Jin Xilu is right, we must drive them away before dark.
So, Lu Wuyai and the others controlled the land patrol robot and detonated it directly near the tent. The power of the bomb caused the three survivors to curse.
After the bomb exploded, most of their belongings were destroyed, and endless curses echoed across the snow and ice.
Soon, these people chose to leave and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Seeing this, the women outside the cowshed breathed a sigh of relief and put the pistols they had secretly picked up back into their waistbands.
"Be careful these next few days," Lu Wuyai said.
Thirty-five survivors have appeared on a deserted island; there may be a chance to meet them.
Soon, it began to get dark, and everyone carefully returned to the rocky hill. There were still many tumbles and climbs along the way, and they fell countless times.
When Lu Wuyai woke up the next day, even his limbs ached, let alone the women.
Upon arriving at the cave, Lu Wuyai took several drones and went outside.
The plane crash of yesterday still lingered in his mind. Lu Wuyai used a drone to patrol the vicinity, searching for clues about the other party.
“Nobody here.” Lu Wuyai looked at the snow on the screen. The drone had already circled the rocky hill and the cowshed more than ten times, but had not found anyone else.
However, there were some footprints in the direction of the Deadwood Forest. Lu Wuyai didn't know if any survivors had spent the night there. After all, it seemed safer.
The roads on the deserted island are still difficult to traverse, but the weather is clear now, and the snow is slowly melting. The temperature on this island is always -20 degrees Celsius. No one can endure such low temperatures.
Judging from the rate at which the snow is melting, it won't be completely melted until at least early May. Currently, May is already summer.
“Every year, the weather seems to become particularly extreme, and this summer is expected to last a very long time,” Lu Wuyai muttered to himself.
Back at Shiqiu, the women were still awake. Lu Wuyai was initially surprised, but then felt a sense of clarity. After all, he had fallen badly the day before, and his body was still aching all over.
After thinking about it, Lu Wuyai felt that he was getting a little bored in the cave, so he simply took enough tools and bullets, rode his balance bike, and rushed towards the cave.
Of course, when he left, he wrote a note and placed it on the wooden table where he usually ate.
The last time, he was injured by a white tiger in a cave and ended up bedridden for two months. Now he has recovered and I really want to see him again.
Ten minutes later, Lu Wuyai arrived outside the bamboo forest, put away the balance bike, and carried it into the chicken coop.
"Really?" Lu Wuyai noticed that the chicken coop was damaged, but a lot of snow had been piled up to fill the damaged area.
Upon entering the chicken coop, Lu Wuyai was surprised to find some wild animal footprints around the broken area.
