These survivors were like locusts passing by—no, they were more like a pack of coyotes. At the slightest hint of blood, they would sweep the entire area away.
Lu Wuyai wasted no time. After killing the man, he immediately went to the cowshed.
By this time, the nearby forest was pitch black; the campfire had been extinguished. The other party was very cautious, putting it out with water and leaving no trace of their departure.
Lu Wuyai didn't notice that Song Xiaoyou was nearby, and guessed that he had already left.
Moving in and out of the forest, disrupting his tracks, Lu Wuyai finally crossed the mountains, passed the former cowshed, climbed over the rocky hill, and entered the cave.
Inside the cave, a group of people were awake. The news brought by Song Xiaoyou made them very worried about Lu Wuyai's safety.
Just as everyone was preparing to leave the cave to search, Lu Wuyai happened to return.
"Where are you going?" Lu Wuyai frowned, looking at the women who had changed their clothes, and raised his voice a few decibels.
Su Xi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Lu Wuyai, and said without hesitation, "We're going out to look for you."
“Neuropathy.” Lu Wuyai frowned, his tone not very friendly.
He stared at Song Xiaoyou, who was startled by the scene before her, and immediately stammered, "I, I, I've explained myself..."
Su Xi stood in front of Song Xiaoyou and said, "Don't look at her, there are many people outside."
Lu Wuyai nodded. He was preparing to grab some weapons and head into the forest to find the survivors. If possible, he really wanted to kill them all.
For a moment, Lu Wuyai fell into deep thought. He didn't know when it started, but he seemed to have lost the habit of killing.
“We have to get out too.” Not only Su Xi, but the other women also looked serious.
Lu Wuyai shook his head. Those people outside weren't good people. It was too risky for a woman to go out, but if he refused outright, she might not even be able to leave the house.
“Stop talking.” Lu Wuyai said seriously, “These people have equipment that can scan terrain. Once they discover this place, they will realize it’s very serious.”
Lu Wuyai's words immediately attracted everyone's attention, especially Gu Yuxin and Song Xiaoyou, who immediately knew what kind of machine Lu Wuyai was talking about.
“Get out.” Song Xiaoyou suddenly said, “However, we can use drones and land patrol robots to track you.”
Song Xiaoyou's words immediately caught the attention of the other women, especially the land patrol robot, which could self-destruct like a bomb and would definitely have a significant impact on the other side.
Lu Wuyai thought for a while and then agreed, on the condition that they must not leave the cave and that the control range of these robots was only one kilometer in radius.
With little time to waste, Lu Wuyai quickly took the grenade. He was covered in weapons from head to toe, practically arming himself.
Leaving the tomb, the forest was quiet.
Lu Wuyai put on night vision goggles. Although he could see in the dark, the goggles had thermal imaging capabilities. If the other party deliberately hid, he would most likely discover him.
Lu Wuyai searched the forest near the cave but found no lurking creatures.
Has the other party already left?
Upon reaching the entrance to the tomb chamber, Lu Wuyai opened the door. Inside, under the cover of night, the woman was operating a drone.
"Have you made any discoveries?" Lu Wuyai asked.
After a moment of silence, Song Xiaoyou pointed to the northwest and said, "There was a fire there, but it suddenly disappeared."
Lu Wuyai thought about it and decided to go and take a look, which would put his mind at ease.
"Let's go check on Lei first." Gu Yuxin shook the controller in her hand, and several women controlled the land patrol robot, heading in the direction Song Xiaoyou had indicated.
There are six robots in total, and they can see almost everything around them.
However, the distance between the target and the cave was beyond the range of the land patrol robot. In the end, the women insisted on going out.
Lu Wuyai had no choice but to agree. However, he kept his spirits up and startled several sleeping wolfhounds from the withered woods of the opposite rocky mountain.
Finally, the six land patrol robots reached their destination.
After walking around, Lu Wuyai and the others found some charred marks and some tattered clothes, but they did not see any living people.
"It seems he's gone." Lu Wuyai took a breath and, without staying outside, immediately sent the women back.
That night, Lu Wuyai didn't sleep a wink. He and his wolfhound guarded the forest near the cave.
The next morning, Su Xi found Lu Wuyai dozing in the woods. She noticed that his clothes were soaked with dew and he had a slight fever.
Originally, Su Xi called You Li and Su Xi to come and help carry Lu Wuyai away, but they greatly underestimated his strength.
They had no choice but to shake Lu Wuyai awake. He opened his eyes and realized he had fallen asleep. He was still wet and uncomfortable.
"I'll go back to sleep." Lu Wuyai also felt that something was wrong with him. When he stood up from the ground, he almost fainted again.
Fortunately, Su Xi supported him and didn't let him chew on mud.
"Let's see what you can do," Su Xi said angrily.
Lu Wuyai gave a wry smile. He had a feeling that this fever and cold might last for a long time.
That's just how people are sometimes; they either don't get sick at all, or they get seriously ill.
As Lu Wuyai had expected, he was bedridden for three whole days after returning home, which was even worse than when Jin Xilu and the others were hit by the cold air.
Lu Wuyai felt like he was dead. He couldn't open his eyes, and it felt like a knife was stuck in his throat, making it painful to swallow. In addition, his limbs were numb and completely immobile.
It wasn't until seven days later that Lu Wuyai felt he had regained some of his energy.
Lu Wuyai moved his fingers, his body had been stiff for seven days and he still couldn't move.
"Seven days." Lu Wuyai felt his voice had changed. This feeling was really uncomfortable.
"Seven days," Su Xi said worriedly. "If you don't behave, Gu Yuxin will use you as a guinea pig."
guinea pig
Lu Wuyai gave a wry smile, guessing that the sixth stage of herbal medicine had already been achieved.
"Water." Lu Wuyai tried his best not to speak because his throat was so sore that even swallowing saliva felt like swallowing razor blades.
Hearing this, Su Xi went to get a water glass, and considering Lu Wuyai's physical condition, she also found a straw.
But while drinking water, Lu Wuyai almost choked to death, feeling as if a heavy stone was blocking his chest.
The coughing startled Su Xi and woke the other sleeping women. They all came to see Lu Wuyai, thinking he was going to die.
"Cough it out quickly." Su Xi patted Lu Wuyai's back, then realized that his clothes were completely soaked.
Lying in bed again, Lu Wuyai felt like he had escaped death.
This serious illness almost made him think he was really going to die. Now that he can move his hands and feet again, it's a huge encouragement.
After coughing, Lu Wuyai waved his hand weakly, indicating that everyone else should go to sleep.
Seeing this, the other women said something to Su Xi and then went back to their own cubicles to continue sleeping.
At this point, Su Xi was lying on the bed, holding this somewhat thin man in her arms, her eyes filled with love.
"Get a good night's sleep, you'll feel better when you wake up tomorrow."
The next day at noon, Lu Wuyai opened his eyes again and found that the clothes he had just changed out of the night before were soaked with his cold sweat again.
With Su Xi not around, it seemed as if no other sounds could be heard in the cave. Lu Wuyai lay on the bed, feeling that he had regained some strength, and decided to get out of bed and walk around.
As a result, Lu Wuyai knelt down after only a few steps, his knees aching.
After resting for a while, Lu Wuyai continued walking, panting.
After walking around the cave and making sure no one was there, Lu Wuyai arrived at the cave entrance and opened the door. A blast of fresh air suddenly hit his face.
Lu Wuyai took a deep breath and felt that his weakness was relieved almost instantly.
Before leaving the cave, Lu Wuyai took two guns and went to the nearby rice paddies, only to find that the women were no longer there.
"Where did they go?" Lu Wuyai wondered for a while.
Lu Wuyai was worried that something might happen to them, so he used a drone to hover over the nearby woods and discovered that the other party was building a cowshed.
As if hearing the sound of a drone, Song Xiaoyou raised his head, his expression somewhat cold. He drew his gun and fired at the drone.
Caught off guard, Lu Wuyai had no way to avoid it. As a result, the drone was smashed to pieces and completely destroyed.
Lu Wuyai smiled bitterly, thinking that he would have to talk to them again when they returned later.
Sure enough, after the meal, several women said that someone had been monitoring them with drones during the day.
Therefore, Lu Wuyai had no choice but to confess.
“Lu Wuyai did a good job,” Su Xi said. “You’re in good health, but you’re using drones to monitor us.”
“How can this be called spying?” Lu Wuyai said dejectedly, “I’m not in a hurry. I’m worried that something will happen to you.”
"Hmph," Su Xi said, crossing her arms and looking like she didn't want to hear Lu Wuyai's explanation.
The women around her smiled, their lips pursed. Su Xi's personality seemed to have always been like this, often displaying a childlike temper.
After finishing his meal, Lu Wuyai went to bed early. Today was his first day of recovery, and expending too much energy was not a good thing.
But in the middle of the night, he was suddenly awakened by a nightmare. When he opened his eyes in bed, he was covered in cold sweat.
"It seems I'm already entangled by the snake spirit." Lu Wuyai took a breath. In his nightmare just now, he saw himself being eaten by a giant snake, wholeheartedly swallowing dates.
After swallowing, Lu Wuyai was about to lie down and rest when an explosion suddenly rang in his ears.
Yes, the explosion came from the direction of Shishan.
At this moment, not only Lu Wuyai, but the other women also opened their eyes from under the covers.
Lu Wuyai almost rushed out of the container where he was sleeping and went to the periscope.
At this moment, despite it being night, two dazzling white lights shone outside. Lu Wuyai immediately recognized them as extremely powerful electric lights. They were placed beside the stone mountain, their light almost sweeping across the entire mountain.
This scene instantly threw Lu Wuyai into a panic.
On the rocky hill, the bombs paused for a moment. Those were all traps set by Song Xiaoyou. Now there were several corpses at the scene, and pieces of flesh and blood were scattered everywhere.
Lu Wuyai also saw many people standing near the rocky hill. Several of them looked very familiar to him. They were clearly the same group of people he had seen in the woods before he fell ill.
Unexpectedly, a week later, they actually found this place.
A strong sense of unease caused Lu Wuyai to pause briefly.
He only snapped out of his daze when he heard someone call his name. He turned around, looked at Su Xi and the others, and took a deep breath.
"Those people still came."
That group of people.
After only a second's pause in their minds, the other women instantly understood the meaning behind Lu Wuyai's words, and their expressions changed immediately.
“You shouldn’t be able to come in for a while.” Lu Wuyai quickly calmed down. There were more bombs on the rocky hill. The most troublesome thing now was those two light bulbs. We had to find a way to knock them out.
Moreover, Lu Wuyai guessed that these people had likely discovered the place tonight. To avoid a long night and nightmares, they chose to attack directly. Otherwise, wouldn't daytime be better?
However, this also gave Lu Wuyai and the others a chance to fight back.
Soon, five drones took off from the cave, circled the forest, and flew towards the two electric lights.
"Can it be done?" Jin Xilu asked anxiously as he looked at the screen in the tomb chamber.
Lu Wuyai: "Give it a try. There are plenty of drones anyway. If it fails, we'll figure out how to intercept the lights."
As they were talking, Lu Wuyai checked the time and realized that there were only three hours left until dawn.
Once dawn arrives, they won't have much time left.
Soon, as the drone approached the lighthouse, Lu Wuyai also arrived at the cave entrance, carrying a box of grenades with him.
The kind of machine that can scan the terrain cannot detect the creatures in the cave, so Lu Wuyai simply opened the cave entrance, pulled the fuse of the grenade, and threw it towards the people outside the rocky mountain.
Lu Wuyai was incredibly skilled. He didn't know how many people died the moment the grenade landed.
Through the periscope, Song Xiaoyou kept watching, and when he saw Lu Wuyai take action, his heart was filled with suspense.
However, Lu Wuyai only threw three grenades before hurriedly closing the cave entrance, because the enemy's counterattack was also very fierce.
Soon, roars echoed all over the rocky mountain.
A few minutes later, Song Xiaoyou suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "The drone was a success!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Wuyai noticed that the explosions outside had suddenly stopped, and he could still faintly hear a dense chorus of footsteps.
At this moment, Lu Wuyai pushed open the cave door again and found that the rocky mountain was pitch black.
Without much time to think, Lu Wuyai, gun in hand, appeared directly in the night.
It must be said that those who can see at night have a lot of advantages in the dark.
In just one minute, Lu Wuyai killed ten people near the light bulb using a silencer.
However, Lu Wuyai quickly escaped. Although his opponent couldn't see him at night, he had night-vision goggles and no cover on the rocky mountain, making him easy to spot.
Therefore, Lu Wuyai was forced to move to the forest near the cave.
Here, Su Xi and the others used the short time to set up some traps and even took control of the land patrol team, placing a time bomb every five meters.
Soon, a new round of battle began in the underground forest.
Lu Wuyai ran as fast as he could, because behind him, someone was shining a flashlight, and he could even hear the sound of a motorcycle.
In this forest, although there are many trees, the terrain is not treacherous. Two-wheeled vehicles like motorcycles are simply powerful tools for movement.
Lu Wuyai hadn't expected that this group of people would have this item in their equipment.
Although his physical abilities far surpassed those of ordinary people, Lu Wuyai was still no match for these mechanical superhumans.
Fortunately, Lu Wuyai was quite familiar with the nearby forest, and by constantly turning and dodging, he always managed to leave his opponent behind.
Occasionally, he would retaliate, leading these people into the traps surrounding the tomb.
"Anyway, there are traps here too."
Who set this up?
"When I came here, there was nothing here."
Hearing the hysterical screams coming from behind him, Lu Wuyai smiled, a rare occurrence. However, he gradually realized that fewer and fewer people were chasing after him, until finally, there was no one left.
Lu Wuyai was panting, hugging his knees with both hands, staring ahead.
A few minutes later, a drone appeared above him and circled five times.
This was a signal. Lu Wuyai knew that the danger at Shiqiu was over; those people were either dead or gone.
Thinking of this, Lu Wuyai ran towards the cave and found several women standing nearby, looking at a certain place. He could also vaguely see some people running away in the night.
Lu Wuyai felt a prick in his chest, realizing that his illness had not fully recovered, but at this moment, he had no time to think about it.
Have they all left?
“Okay. The rest of them ran away without taking anything,” Yu Mengrou said.
Lu Wuyai glanced at the bodies and found a total of eighteen corpses, some shot and others affected by bombs.
"No need to chase them anymore, just tidy up the area," Lu Wuyai said.
After the bodies were cremated, it gradually got light.
On the rocky hill, there were piles of things, mostly fragments, and a few motorcycles. However, during their pursuit of Lu Wuyai, they were blown to pieces by a land patrol robot.
However, Gu Yuxin still found some useful parts, and even a few complete solar panels.
"It should be on the headlights," Gu Yuxin guessed.
Regardless, there were still some gains.
The rocky mountain was riddled with holes and pits, and some places were almost deserted.
For the next seven days, everything returned to calm. Lu Wuyai and the others were busy repairing the cave and filling in the piles of stones. Lu Wuyai also dug several tunnels along the way, extending all the way to the other side of the piles of stones.
These tunnels are paved with cement and are very clean and tidy.
However, on the very day the tunnel was completed, Lu Wuyai completely sealed off the entrances and exits, especially the exit, and erased all traces. Unless it was one of their own, no one could discover this place.
Moreover, these tunnels are so deep that even machines capable of exploring underground spaces have difficulty finding them.
It is worth mentioning that among the supplies collected during the battle with the survivors were these detection machines, but they were all destroyed by Lu Wuyai.
