Finally, Lu Wuyai locked the iron gate inside and out, but there were only two keys, and these keys were very difficult to copy.
When he went to sleep at night, he locked the door from the inside; when he went out, he locked it from the outside.
As for the keys, one was left on Lu Wuyai's person, and the other was placed in the underground cave.
"Luckily, I got some locks this time, otherwise it would have been really troublesome." Lu Wuyai muttered to himself, glanced around at the forest near the tomb, and finally walked in one direction.
He clearly remembered that last night the big wild boar was running frantically in this direction, and he didn't know whether it was dead or alive.
However, Lu Wuyai felt that there was a high probability that his opponent wouldn't die. Although the bullet had entered his opponent's body, there was very little blood on the ground, or rather, it wasn't very noticeable.
“There are many traces on the road.” Lu Wuyai was worried that strange things were happening one after another in this forest, which was not a good omen.
"Could this be a sign of an impending natural disaster?"
Lu Wuyai felt uneasy and unknowingly left the tomb chamber for a long time.
Noticing that the surroundings had become dim, Lu Wuyai looked up and around. He sensed something strange nearby. A pine forest had appeared out of nowhere.
These newly grown pine trees give people a very reassuring feeling, as if they are destined to become towering trees in the sky.
Lu Wuyai drew his axe from his waist, intending to chop. He noticed that the pine tree in front of him was very sturdy. The first few ribs struck it like metal hitting an iron bar, producing a metallic clanging sound.
Lu Wuyai tucked the axe into his waistband and continued walking through the pine forest, finally appearing outside the forest.
The forest was indeed small. When they first began planting tree seeds, the women made a simple plan.
At this moment, Lu Wuyai stood at the edge of the forest, looking at the wild boar tracks under his feet, and finally stopped following them.
There was no shortage of food in the cave, so Lu Wuyai saw no need to risk his life for this wild boar. The existing breeding warehouses were also gradually becoming successful, producing large quantities of fresh meat, far exceeding everyone's needs.
The morning breeze swept across the green grass, and the world seemed incredibly vast at that moment.
"Lu Wuyai".
Hearing the voice, Lu Wuyai turned around and saw Gu Yuxin. She was carrying a bamboo basket and looked over curiously.
"Why are you here?" Lu Wuyai walked towards Han Suying. This woman was now very silent in the group, which was completely different from her previous personality.
Su Xi smiled and said, "I came to pick mushrooms. There are more fungi in the morning."
As Su Xi spoke, she turned her back to Lu Wuyai, showing him the mushrooms in the bamboo basket.
Sure enough, the bamboo basket contained many fresh mushrooms. As for whether they were poisonous, most of them were harmless. Moreover, after bringing them back, Gu Yuxin would carefully select them instead of cooking them directly.
Life is only once, and everyone cares about life and death.
At this moment, Lu Wuyai realized for the first time that Gu Yuxin had really changed a lot.
After experiencing a series of events, the once aloof prince and princess became much calmer.
"I'll help you." After Lu Wuyai finished speaking, he took the bamboo basket off Gu Yuxin and carried it on his back.
"It's alright." Su Xi lowered her head, her expression a little unnatural, especially when she thought about how she had deliberately "seduced" Lu Wuyai before. Thinking about it now, what happened back then was really ridiculous.
"It's alright." Lu Wuyai smiled.
So the two of them walked through the forest, one in front of the other, picking mushrooms that were everywhere.
Lu Wuyai felt the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so he deliberately tried to start a conversation.
"Your dress looks nice."
“Yes.” Gu Yuxin raised her head slightly, looked at Lu Wuyai who seemed a little embarrassed, and suddenly a smile appeared on her face.
Is it really that beautiful?
Lu Wuyai nodded. Su Xi had a great figure. When she was on the deserted island, she was always well taken care of. Now, although she was over 30, she was still as beautiful as a flower. She was more charming than a woman in her 20s.
"Gu Yuxin picked this out for me. There are lots of bugs in the forest. This kind of skirt is breathable and looks really cool."
Upon hearing Gu Yuxin mention insects, Lu Wuyai also noticed that as the temperature rose day by day, there were more and more insects and flies.
"Be careful," Lu Wuyai warned.
“I know there are bodies here.” Su Xi suddenly took a breath.
Lu Wuyai walked over and saw a corpse that had been dead for a long time. The whole body was rotten, and most of it was just bone. It stood out starkly against the dim surroundings.
“I’ll handle it.” Lu Wuyai took out a fire axe from his back and used it as a shovel to drag the body to an open space.
Then he chopped some wood and piled it next to the body. He took out a lighter and lit the wood.
"Rest in peace," Lu Wuyai said quietly.
Gu Yuxin watched him from afar, the firelight reflecting off their faces, making them look particularly resolute.
Afterwards, the two continued to wander in the nearby forest and unexpectedly discovered some rare mushrooms, such as chicken-of-the-woods mushrooms.
Lu Wuyai licked his lips, finding the food quite novel.
“Let’s go back,” Jin Xilu said. She was already feeling a little tired after picking up all the shredded chicken and mushrooms.
Soon, the two of them were walking side by side through the forest. The way back was quiet, without the chirping of insects or birds, and the golden sunlight falling on the ground gave a very pleasant feeling.
"You go back first," Lu Wuyai said to Jin Xilu.
Aren't you going back yet?
“It’s still early, I’ll go for a walk first. You can ask Su Xi and the others to come to the Deadwood Forest to collect stones later.”
"Then be careful." After saying that, Gu Yuxin turned around and went into the tomb. Then Lu Wuyai locked the tomb door and walked towards the withered wood forest.
After discovering those cars yesterday, Lu Wuyai began to pay attention to them, feeling fear of the unknown.
"What on earth could crush a car like that?" For some reason, Lu Wuyai thought of snakes, and when he thought of snakes, he naturally thought of the scene that happened in the cowshed a long, long time ago.
A giant venomous snake, like a prehistoric monster, left the deepest impression on Lu Wuyai's memory.
"It's best not to let it become like this." Lu Wuyai shook his head, feeling that Gu Yuxin needed to invent something that would be even more harmful to venomous snakes.
After arriving at the Deadwood Forest, Lu Wuyai walked all the way to the Black Stone Mine. The surrounding environment was also very quiet.
This silence frightened Lu Wuyai.
Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the woods. Lu Wuyai turned around and looked, but saw nothing.
However, the rustling sound of friction still persists.
Lu Wuyai frowned. The voice must have been far away from him, which was why he couldn't see it.
"Let's climb up and take a look."
As he pondered, Lu Wuyai spotted a dead tree with a very thick trunk. After climbing up, he looked around and was dumbfounded.
"I'm really afraid of what the consequences might be."
Lu Wuyai took a breath. He had been thinking about that giant snake. Who would have thought he would encounter it so soon?
The rustling sound was clearly caused by the friction between the snake's body and the tree.
"Thank goodness I didn't come here." Lu Wuyai watched the giant snake quickly leave, disappearing into the horizon. It seemed to have already ventured deep into the withered forest. It's best if it never returns.
Lu Wuyai climbed down from the tree, his forehead covered in cold sweat.
"This giant snake seems to be even bigger than before." Because of the distance, Lu Wuyai could not make a conclusion.
Ten minutes later, Lu Wuyai heard the sound of a car coming from the market and realized that it was Su Xi and the others.
"Hurry up," Lu Wuyai urged, worried that the giant snake might reappear.
Last time he found a large snake, he didn't tell anyone, and he didn't mention it this time either.
“Good bro,” Su Xi complained, “You have to work as soon as you wake up. Just how capricious are you?”
"Stop chattering and get to work," Lu Wuyai urged. He felt a sense of urgency. He had a feeling that something big was about to happen, and it would be difficult to dig that black stone out again.
"I hope I'm just overthinking it," Lu Wuyai took a deep breath, the electric drill in his hand making a constant banging sound.
Seeing that Lu Wuyai had already started working, Su Xi and Su Xi immediately started working as well, and the sense of urgency made them speed up their work.
That day, everyone worked until dusk.
When they returned to the cave, the women had already begun preparing dinner. Lu Wuyai stood in the passageway, watching the scenes unfold in the sunlight, and couldn't help but clench his hands tightly.
A month after the ice storm, the temperature on the deserted island began to rise, and the temperature difference between day and night was no longer so obvious.
On this day, Lu Wuyai walked out of the cave, stood on the rocky mountain, and looked at the lush trees around him, which seemed to have grown much taller overnight.
"I feel a little dizzy," Lu Wuyai muttered to himself, not taking it to heart. "It seems like this has been happening lately."
Behind him, Gu Yuxin and Jin Xilu also came out, holding sickles, and began to cut grass on the rocky hill.
It was probably after winter that the vegetation began to grow wildly. Everyone wondered if Lu Wuyai had placed too many black stones when he planted the seeds nearby, resulting in such an excellent cultivation effect.
Soon, three trucks drove over the rocky hill and stopped not far away. Su Xi leaned out of one of the trucks and called out to Lu Wuyai, telling him to come over quickly.
Recently, the team has been moving black stones every day, and the black stone pit is getting smaller and smaller. It is now about ten meters deep.
To reach that depth, Lu Wuyai even dug a stone staircase to climb up.
Actually, when he heard the car, Lu Wuyai said to Gu Yuxin beside him, "After you cut the lawn, remember to lock the door when you get back."
Gu Yuxin nodded, glanced at the wolfhounds wandering around, and seemed quite calm.
In the car, Su Xi gave the taxi to Lu Wuyai.
“It’s the same when you’re driving; you’re an experienced driver.” Lu Wuyai smiled, not intending to mock Su Xi.
In fact, everyone in the team has specialized driving skills, and some even have drifting skills.
However, Su Xi said, "I've been feeling dizzy every morning lately, so why don't you go ahead?"
Dizziness.
Lu Wuyai was taken aback for a moment, then said, "How long have you had this feeling?"
“At least two weeks.” Su Xi thought carefully for a moment, then said, “Do you remember the wild boar you encountered near the tomb?” The next day I started to feel dizzy.
Upon hearing this, Lu Wuyai seemed to be deep in thought.
After the vehicles arrived at the Black Stone Mine, everyone got out. This time, besides Lu Wuyai, there were five women in the three vehicles.
Seeing Gu Yuxin get out of the car, pressing her temples, Lu Wuyai asked, "Are you both dizzy?"
Gu Yuxin nodded, but there was nothing wrong with it. As for the others, they had similar symptoms.
“Very strange.”
The women exchanged glances, not usually paying attention, but now that Lu Wuyai had asked a question, they all realized something was wrong.
“We’ll let Gu Yuxin see him when we get back,” Lu Wuyai said.
Everyone nodded. Although they were dizzy, it wasn't serious. Moving the ore away was still important.
That day, everyone didn't get off work until dusk.
On the way back, the sunset was infinitely beautiful, and the intoxicating golden light shone on the earth, making people feel warm.
After leaving the deadwood forest, everyone saw many saplings, each about half the height of a person. These saplings grew very quickly, exceeding everyone's expectations.
"It is estimated that these saplings will form a shady canopy in a month."
"We still need green grass; it's growing too fast."
"The cattle and sheep over there are gone too. I never imagined that so many animals would survive the ice storm."
"There are also many wild rabbits; they probably escaped from deep underground."
Everyone was talking, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived at the garage near the cellar.
After parking the car, no one unloaded the goods, preparing to go to work early the next morning.
Lu Wuyai opened the tomb chamber door and went inside. Once everyone was there, he closed the iron door from the inside. Finally, he used iron bars to block both sides, preventing anyone from being forced in.
Inside the cave, Yuri's belly was already quite large. Calculating the time, she would give birth within four months.
Xia Qingming was preparing dinner, and had just served a bowl of beef and fried chili peppers. The spicy and sour flavor was irresistible.
Lu Wuyai first took Su Xi to the laboratory and had Gu Yuxin examine her body.
"I feel dizzy." Gu Yuxin licked her lips, seemingly lost in thought. She carefully examined Su Xi's body, drew blood, and asked her to wait a moment before coming in.
After that, it was Gu Yuxin and the others' turn. In fact, everyone in the cave had this feeling; it wasn't an isolated case.
After finishing her meal, Gu Yuxin went out again, asking Lu Wuyai to accompany her.
"What do you plan to do?" Lu Wuyai only ate a few bites of rice before reluctantly leaving the table.
Upon arriving at Shishan, Gu Yuxin was actually collecting air.
"You'll find out later," Morroy said mysteriously.
Lu Wuyai rolled his eyes. After staying outside for a while, he and Gu Yuxin returned to the cave. By then, it was completely dark.
After a meal, everyone has their own habits.
For example, Su Xi and Gu Yuxin were doing yoga in their own cubicle. They had been doing yoga for several months. Their originally fuller figures now looked even firmer and more toned.
Su Xi, Gu Yuxin, Xia Qingming, and Jin Xilu were playing Ludo, occasionally bickering, and time flew by.
Su Xi is studying. Since becoming pregnant, she seems more mature and has been doing a lot of homework.
Song Xiaoyou and Gu Yuxin haven't come out of the lab for a long time.
Here, Lu Wuyai was still organizing the contents of the container. To be precise, he was checking the condition of each compartment. The previous snake incident had left everyone uneasy.
That night, the cave was quiet inside and out, and everything seemed no different from usual.
Early the next morning, Lu Wuyai opened the door to the cave, ready to breathe fresh air and welcome the arrival of the new world.
But as soon as he pushed open the iron gate, a strong aura rushed towards him, and Lu Wuyai suddenly felt dizzy, even his vision blurred, and the brief appearance was like snowflakes.
"What's going on?"
"The dizziness seems to be getting worse." Lu Wuyai steadied himself to prevent himself from falling. This feeling was terrible.
After everything stabilized, Lu Wuyai's vision returned to normal, but when he looked around, he saw a lush forest outside the basement that completely blocked the morning sunlight.
"What's this."
Lu Wuyai was a big mouth. In just one night, the forest underwent a dramatic transformation. The trees that had grown on the ground were much taller than before, and the low shrubs were as tall as a person... The barbs all over his body grew increasingly ferocious.
Soon, Lu Wuyai traversed the forest, gazing at the nearby gentle slopes. Numerous saplings had grown tall. With such a large number, one could already imagine how magnificent the forest would soon form.
On the way back, Lu Wuyai couldn't understand why such a change had occurred in such a short time.
When they returned to the cave, the women woke up one by one. Gu Yuxin came out of the laboratory and said he had noticed dizziness.
"It is the increase in oxygen content in the air that gives us the effect of 'breathing oxygen'."
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other in confusion.
Inside the cave, everyone was a bit confused.
Gu Yuxin pulled up a stool and sat down, then explained, "Although I don't understand why the oxygen content in the air suddenly increases, the impact will be significant."
Seeing Gu Yuxin's serious expression, everyone realized that the increase in oxygen levels might not just make them feel dizzy.
"First of all, under normal circumstances, the oxygen content in the air is around 20%, which is quite suitable for humans."
"An oxygen content of around 30% is the most suitable environment for human survival. In such an environment, people feel exceptionally clear-headed, have improved sleep quality, and are particularly energetic."
"However, once it exceeds 31%, in such an environment, the air will accelerate human aging, that is, shorten lifespan and cause various diseases in the body, which is a disaster."
Upon hearing this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines, and their scalps went numb.
"What's the air quality like now?" Lu Wuyai asked.
"Due to limited equipment, it took us all night to analyze it," Gu Yuxin said, rubbing her temples. "The current air content is exactly 30%."
Hearing this, everyone immediately relaxed, but Gu Yuxin quickly added, "However, this does not mean that oxygen levels will not continue to increase."
"As for the dizziness you're experiencing now, it's probably just that you're not used to it yet, and it will get better after a while."
