Another week passed. On this day, Lu Wuyai got up very early and found that his body seemed to have fully recovered and he was not weak at all.
"Health is the foundation of everything." Lu Wuyai sighed.
The women were still sleeping in the small cubicle, because it was only five o'clock and the sky outside was still bright.
Summer only has one month left, but the weather is still very hot. Lu Wuyai took out the clothes that had been soaking in water last night and squatted down by the pool to wash them.
There are plenty of times to change clothes this season, unless you're staying in one hole all day.
Soon, Lu Wuyai hung the washed clothes on the bamboo pole, which was the usual way women dried their clothes.
As for underwear, even if Lu Wuyai were willing to wash it, none of the women would give it to her.
After hanging up the clothes, Lu Wuyai stood on the rocky hill, gazing at the increasingly blue sky, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"It's been four years already. I never imagined I'd be stuck on a deserted island for so long."
After sighing for a while, Lu Wuyai came down from the rocky mountain and walked to the newly built cowshed. He opened the door and let the cows and cattle inside.
Regarding feed, the feed that was originally stored near the old cattle shed has now been moved to the new cattle shed.
The current cattle shed has two spaces. One space is naturally where the cattle sleep and rest, and the other is where the feed is stored. In terms of space, it is the largest.
Lu Wuyai thought to himself that once summer was over, they would be busy with feed for a while.
Moo
The little yellow calf bleated softly, sticking out its tongue as if to lick Lu Wuyai, but the latter easily dodged it and even kicked its rear end.
“Let’s go, it’s all drool.” Lu Wuyai said with disgust, but his gaze was fixed on the ox’s head, where two fleshy bumps had appeared without his noticing.
“Other cows have horns, why do you have a tumor?” Lu Wuyai was a little worried that the little yellow cow might be sick, but the other party wouldn’t let him touch its head, so he quickly hid.
With no other options, Lu Wuyai had to give up for the time being, but he kept a thought in mind: to find time to have Gu Yuxin come and take a look.
In the following time, Lu Wuyai kept inspecting the area around the cowshed and retying some untreated steel bars to ensure its sturdiness.
There's still a month left until the end of summer, and there might be a few more typhoons in that month.
"It's so hot." Lu Wuyai wiped his sweat. The temperature outside was completely different from the temperature inside the cave.
A cold pool is enough to defeat everything.
However, Lu Wuyai also thought of a problem: when winter comes, he was afraid that the cave would not be able to function without heating.
After staying outside for a while, Lu Wuyai quickly returned to the cave to escape the midday heat.
In the last month of the hottest days of summer, the typhoon still arrived as scheduled.
That evening, the sea wind howled, and the terrifying noise seemed to engulf the entire deserted island.
Lu Wuyai poked his head out of the cave and suddenly felt as if his face had been hit by a car. Besides being unable to breathe, he was knocked back into the cave.
"Such a strong wind." Lu Wuyai shrank back into the passage, looked at the dusty sky above him, and quickly covered it with a wooden board.
Three iron plates were laid in the passageway, completely isolating it from the sounds of wind and rain.
"Is it very windy?" Everyone asked when they saw Lu Wuyai return in the cave.
Lu Wuyai nodded. Although the wind force couldn't be detected, it was still quite strong compared to before.
"The wind started blowing last night, and it hasn't rained yet," Lu Wuyai said suspiciously. The wind had been blowing all night, but he hadn't seen a drop of rain.
"It looks like it's going to rain heavily," said Song Xiaoyou.
“I’ll go to the rice paddies to see if you want to come,” Lu Wuyai said.
“I’m leaving.” Gu Yuxin stood up first. She was a little worried about the cows in the cowshed.
Soon, the other women followed Lu Wuyai out.
The wind was strong outside, but the forest near the tomb had become very dense, blocking some of the strong winds.
"Are you alright?" Lu Wuyai turned around and asked, telling the women to stay close to him. At this moment, some light raindrops had already started to fall.
Everyone went to the cowshed first. Lu Wuyai had previously reinforced the foundation and tied the steel bars together with wire. Now, even after the strong wind, the cowshed remained motionless.
But waterproofing becomes the biggest problem when it rains heavily.
The straw placed on the cowshed was completely blown away by the wind, revealing the iron plate on top.
“Waterproofing isn’t a problem, but…” Gu Yuxin pointed to the cowshed. She had just discovered another issue.
"However, the cowshed is located in a low-lying area, and flooding may be unavoidable once heavy rain comes."
As soon as he finished speaking, the others noticed that the cowshed was indeed situated at a very low elevation, with slight ridges of paddy fields nearby. In fact, this was all soil that had been piled up during the previous excavation of the cowshed, but now it had become a new problem.
Lu Wuyai said, "You go and take a look at the rice paddies first, I'll take a look here."
What are you planning to do?
"We didn't have enough time, so we had to remove the soil nearby first, and then dig a few irrigation ditches to drain the water."
It's always better to get things straight than to mess them up. Lu Wuyai understood this principle.
Soon, Lu Wuyai grabbed a shovel and began digging nearby. The other women went to the rice paddies. They discovered that the protective barrier at the entrance to the paddies was being blown about by the strong wind, revealing many gaps. If it rained, the rice paddies would surely be destroyed and flooded.
"Is it because the wind is really too strong this time?" Su Xi asked suspiciously. "Why hasn't this happened before?"
"It must have been caused by repeated negligence," Jin Xilu said.
The gap at the entrance was too large, causing the soil to loosen and fall out.
There was no way around it, and there was no time to lose. The clouds in the sky were getting lower and lower, and a heavy rain was inevitable.
After thinking for a while, the women finally brought cement and used it to completely block the entrance to the rice paddy, planning to smash the passage after the typhoon passed.
After more than ten minutes of digging, Lu Wuyai finally removed the excess soil near the cowshed.
Before the ditch was even finished, a sudden downpour began, almost like a single raindrop. Even those in the forest could feel the power of the raindrop.
Lu Wuyai wiped his face, but he couldn't see anything clearly. The rainwater at his feet kept accumulating.
With no other options, Lu Wuyai could only continue to work hard.
Soon, the women arrived as well. The sky became even stranger. What used to be gray clouds were now a pale, fiery red. According to Song Xiaoyou, it must be related to the sea.
About ten minutes later, Lu Wuyai saw that there was a ditch under his feet, but there was still a lot of water near the cowshed. This was because the foundation of the cowshed had been too deep before.
“Let’s go back first, at least the cowshed won’t be flooded,” Su Xi said, urging Lu Wuyai to leave quickly. Although they were wearing jackets, many of their clothes were still soaked.
Lu Wuyai nodded and immediately led them toward the tomb chamber.
But when he reached the entrance of the underground passage, Lu Wuyai suddenly stopped, looked up and saw several humans huddled together in the nearby rain.
These humans looked embarrassed. They huddled on a gentle slope beside the cave, holding an umbrella that seemed ready to be blown away by the wind at any moment. They were shivering. When the wind blew, many heart-wrenching things could be seen. Private.
“How could there be survivors?” Song Xiaoyou said, her eyesight was excellent. When she saw these people, she would immediately tell them.
Everyone was suddenly surprised and confused. The group was right in front of them, but they didn't seem to notice them.
But as they got closer, the two groups still met.
“They’re all women anyway.” Lu Wuyai’s eyes widened as he realized that every single one of these half-naked survivors was a woman.
When he saw Lu Wuyai, the other party also seemed to be terrified, but he quickly noticed that Su Xi and the others seemed to be women, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
"Don't worry about them, let's go around the rocky hill."
Soon, Lu Wuyai led Su Xi and the others away, preparing to enter the cave from the rocky hill. After all, these women were very close to the cave. If they kept going in and out of there, some unexpected accidents might occur.
But Song Xiaoyou suddenly said, "There's a pregnant woman here."
A pregnant woman.
I'm pregnant.
Lu Wuyai stopped immediately, frowning as he asked, "Are you sure you didn't see wrong?"
The other women also looked at Song Xiaoyou, who pointed to one of them. Everyone then noticed that her belly was indeed very round, probably five or six months along.
“What a beast,” Su Xi sneered.
Everyone fell silent. After all, she was pregnant. It wouldn't be right to leave her soaked in the rain; everyone felt uneasy.
“Fine, I’ll move them to the open space under the cowshed to let them take shelter from the rain for now.” Lu Wuyai finally made his decision.
But with the wind and rain, walking there was definitely not a practical option. Lu Wuyai and the others counted each other's numbers and drove two pickup trucks out of the garage.
"Get in the car," Lu Wuyai called out to the group.
Just now, Su Xi and the others had already talked and reached some preliminary consensus.
After seeing the women get into the car, Su Xi and the others took out some emergency supplies from the garage, such as towels, tissues, some food and fresh water.
Oh, and Gu Yuxin also asked the pregnant woman how many months pregnant she was.
Later, on a stormy day, Lu Wuyai and Tang Xin drove the survivors to the cave where the cowshed was located.
The cave in the former cowshed was originally used by Jin Xilu and others.
However, since Jin Xilu, Gu Yuxin, and Song Xiaoyou arrived at the cave, the space has become deserted. The weeds had already been stored away, so the interior was relatively clean and much larger.
Soon, Lu Wuyai and Su Xi parked the car.
Lu Wuyai walked over, opened the cave door, and found that the terrain here was high, and the rainwater fell down on both sides without any gaps at the cave entrance.
At this point, Su Xi opened the car door and invited the women to get out. The storm was intensifying, and it seemed like it was about to rain.
I didn't feel this way when I was in the forest before, but it's different now.
Bang bang bang.
The rain pounded on the car, making a loud noise, like stones falling and banging.
In the blink of an eye, 12 women entered the cave one after another, and the surrounding environment underwent a dramatic change.
Quiet, warm, bright... these are enough to bring tears to the eyes of these women.
Lu Wuyai started the generator. When Jin Xilu and the others left, the things here were basically untouched.
"There's still a little diesel left, enough to last until this storm ends," Lu Wuyai thought to himself.
After that, Lu Wuyai and Su Xi left. As they went out, the sound of crying could still be heard.
“They were quite miserable too.” Su Xi shook her head, thinking of her past self, and goosebumps appeared on her arms.
They dared not stay outside any longer. They immediately returned to the forest, drove the car into the garage, and then went back into the cave.
At this moment, the cave felt exceptionally warm.
Upon seeing Lu Wuyai and Su Xi return, the women inquired about the situation.
"Is that woman about to give birth?" Lu Wuyai asked casually. He noticed that her belly was much larger than he had seen before.
Morroy shook his head: "I can't be sure. Even she herself doesn't know when she got pregnant."
“This is practically a crime,” Su Xi said angrily.
Getting a woman pregnant on a deserted island is indeed too dangerous.
As for the group of women from earlier, if everyone's guesses are correct, they were likely captured by the same group that attacked Shi Qiu earlier.
Lu Wuyai thought of everything he had seen that night and shook his head.
After that, the women in the cave got busy again. Some went to the orchard to pick fruit, some went to the laboratory to help, and some cleaned containers and cubicles.
After drying himself off, Lu Wuyai lay peacefully on the bed and fell asleep without realizing it.
When he woke up again, it was completely dark, but the heavy rain was still pouring down without any sign of letting up.
"It's very windy outside, I can't go out at all."
When Lu Wuyai arrived at the restaurant, Su Xi's voice rang in his ears.
"What do you most want to do when you go out in this kind of weather?" Lu Wuyai asked, puzzled. In this kind of weather, we should eat and sleep. The sky is black, the ground is black.
Su Xi said, "The rain was heavy, and several traps were washed away."
Upon hearing this, Lu Wuyai immediately asked, "Did the grenade explode?"
"Not yet, but I'm afraid to go out. Nobody knows when these grenades will explode."
Lu Wuyai opened the cave lid, and a heavy rain started pouring down outside, prompting him to quickly close the door and abandon the idea of going out.
As for the bombs, Lu Wuyai was also worried that the switches might be triggered by rain while collecting these traps.
You know, some traps are pressure-triggered and can easily cause an explosion.
"Go dry your hair." Su Xi handed Lu Wuyai a towel and told him to dry his body, especially his hair. Too much time spent drying it can easily cause headaches.
Lu Wuyai smiled and said, "Is everyone else in the lab?"
“Gu Yuxin can’t make it through alone.” Su Xi looked back at the direction of the laboratory, and her body, which was wearing a down jacket, couldn’t help but tremble.
The lab was too cold. Gu Yuxin had been studying the liquid in the cold water tank recently, so many containers had frozen into pieces.
That night, Lu Wuyai lay in bed with You Li curled up in his arms.
They had just finished a thrilling battle. Yuri's face flushed instantly, and a hint of affection appeared between her brows.
Looking at the lovely Wenrou in his arms, Lu Wuyai's lips curved slightly, and deep in his heart, he felt an indescribable comfort in these days.
"Don't be so strange." Yuli circled Lu Wuyai's chest, covered her chest with one hand, and said angrily.
Lu Wuyai picked up You Li and pressed him down beneath him. After a while, the plum blossoms in the container became intoxicating.
He didn't know how much time had passed before Lu Wuyai fell into a deep sleep. In his hazy state, he seemed to hear faint footsteps echoing in the heavy rain. It was too noisy.
Lu Wuyai suddenly opened his eyes, his whites bloodshot. At first, he thought it was a hallucination, but he soon realized that the stomping sound was real, and it was coming from the rocky mountain.
With no other choice, Lu Wuyai could only get up from that big bed, where You Li, who had fainted not long ago, was still lying, her whole body glowing with an intoxicating rose-red color.
Through the periscope, Lu Wuyai saw many figures running around in the rain, but he didn't know what they were doing.
Lu Wuyai felt uneasy, so he walked to the cave entrance and opened the partition. Suddenly, a heart-wrenching scream filled Lu Wuyai's ears.
Is anyone home?
"Come out quickly."
"Are you there, people who saved us? Where are you?"
"Waaaaaaahh ...
"Please come out quickly."
Hearing the sound, Lu Wuyai frowned and appeared directly in the dark rainy night, ignoring the rain.
The pile of stones was riddled with traps. When someone tried to enter the pile, Lu Wuyai shouted a warning, and those nearby immediately stopped.
"Is that you?" a woman called out.
At this moment, Lu Wuyai recognized that this group of people were the female survivors they had rescued that morning. They had not slept all night and had run to the rocky mountain to howl and scream.
For a moment, Lu Wuyai felt frustrated and angry.
“You must be sick,” Lu Wuyai said unhappily.
Suddenly, several women knelt on the ground. Although they couldn't see Lu Wuyai, they could still tell where the others were from the voices they had just heard.
Lu Wuyai was stunned for a moment, and then he heard what the other person said.
"Please help me, my baby is about to be born."
......
Back in the cave, Lu Wuyai felt a little dizzy, but he quickly woke up and called out to the small cubicle.
"Get up quickly."
"That pregnant woman is about to give birth."
After a short silence, the rustling sound of clothes being put on suddenly broke out.
Lu Wuyai took a breath, recalling scenes of childbirth he had seen on television, and knew he needed to prepare something.
Five minutes later, the group left the rocky mountain and rushed towards the cave in the pouring rain.
Along the way, everyone felt somewhat uneasy. None of them had any experience with childbirth.
It's 3 a.m., and a fierce storm is still raging on the deserted island. The typhoon is incredibly powerful.
Before entering the cave, Lu Wuyai glanced at the horizon and found it to be a vast expanse of white. The water and sky blended into one, and he couldn't understand anything.
Soon, Lu Wuyai turned around, entered the cave, and used an iron plate to separate the entrance.
At this moment, a somber atmosphere filled the cave.
Everyone could see that the small hole was filled with a group of women. From their expressions, it was clear that they were very nervous, and all eyes were focused on a woman not far away.
