The photos show a mushroom cloud, a powerful cyclone, wildfires in the sky, and ubiquitous radiation sources accompanied by strong winds...
In an instant, Lu Wuyai felt that something important must have happened outside the deserted island.
In particular, the mushroom cloud and radiation all seem to point to the same thing.
Lu Wuyai sighed, feeling depressed. He suddenly realized that being on a deserted island wasn't so bad.
A rumbling sound.
The wind lashed against the sheet metal, making a rumbling sound. The power of nature was astonishing, but one couldn't help but admire humanity's ability to survive in such harsh conditions.
Feeling the hunger rising in his stomach, Yang Jian took a box of Wagyu beef from the sand truck, then grabbed some wood and started a fire to cook.
During this time, he felt increasingly hungry. Although he still only ate three meals a day, his marching rations increased from five yuan to ten yuan, something he had previously dared not tell anyone.
Of course, this is no longer a problem.
At least this winter, he no longer has to worry about his appetite.
The only problem was that he worried his increased appetite might be caused by some kind of illness.
He asked Molloy about this, and Molloy told him that an organism's food intake is often related to its metabolism.
"Could it be that my metabolism is just too fast?"
Lu Wuyai ate Wagyu beef on a wooden fork, finding the taste to be nothing special. Perhaps there was something wrong with his cooking, but the beef itself was quite good.
After eating a bag of Wagyu beef, Lu Wuyai felt warm all over, as if he had a small stove on his back and inexhaustible energy.
In the past few days, his aftereffects have been getting weaker and weaker. He even occasionally feels that his mind is very clear, a feeling he has never had before.
"Could it be that my abilities are only just beginning?" Yang Jian said with some anticipation.
A series of events have recently occurred. Not only did they find Yu Mengrou, but the constantly opened blind boxes also filled them with new anticipation for life on the deserted island.
Everything started to get better.
"The wind and snow haven't stopped yet." Lu Wuyai opened the door, watching the snowflakes whistling past. The deserted island seemed like a world isolated from the rest of the world, and they were the sole masters of this world.
Lu Wuyai stood outside, then closed the door and rushed on foot towards the nearby containers.
The wind and snow were a bit strong, but there were many shipping containers nearby, so you wouldn't get lost even if you walked a short distance.
Soon, Lu Wuyai arrived at another container nearby and opened the door. Surprises always happen unexpectedly.
Inside the private room, two SUVs were parked side by side, their chassis entirely white. They were simply prepared for a heavy snowfall.
Lu Wuyai couldn't help but sigh, good luck always comes suddenly.
“Unfortunately, it’s not electric; it runs on gasoline.” There were two white SUVs, both of which ran on gasoline. Lu Wuyai walked around the cars and noticed a few more fuel cans in the corner, which relieved him.
Fortunately, the off-road vehicle's fuel tank was also full, enough to travel more than 600 kilometers.
Soon, Yang Jian drove his SUV to the container and unloaded everything from the sand truck.
The off-road vehicle has several times the space of the dune buggy, enough to store a lot of things at once.
Afterwards, Lu Wuyai started an off-road vehicle and returned to the place where the Wagyu beef had been stored, and then took out more Wagyu beef from the container.
After working for a long time, Lu Wuyai braved the wind and snow to return to the cave.
Without lingering for a moment, Lu Wuyai immediately unloaded the supplies and led Su Xi and Song Xiaoyou back to the beach.
When he returned, he was driving alone, with the trunk full of clothes and food.
“The temperature inside the cave is too high; I’m afraid this Wagyu beef won’t be able to be stored,” Kim Seok-rok said with a frown, sounding worried.
Molloy pouted. "That's not easy. Just make a hole in the ground, fill it with snow, and throw the food in. It won't spoil this winter."
Lu Wuyai nodded. It was indeed a good idea, a natural refrigerator.
Soon after, at dusk amidst a snowstorm, Lu Wuyai dug a small, deep pit near the cave. After filling it with a third of snow, he threw in all the food he wasn't currently using.
Back in the cave, Lu Wuyai saw Song Xiaoyou and others processing seeds in test tubes.
Of all the harvest so far, the seeds of these plants are undoubtedly the most precious.
Song Xiaoyou and others collected all the vegetable seeds according to the labels on the test tubes and recorded the types of vegetable seeds.
Potatoes and sweet potatoes, in particular. These two are simple, easy to grow, and can be mass-produced without requiring much care. Therefore, they need to be carefully stored to ensure that this doesn't happen again.
The potato seedlings found in the forest have all been frozen to death by the heavy snow.
Besides the seeds, the Wagyu beef that Yang Jian and others brought back also became a new staple food after mutton.
After three hours of busy work, everyone sorted and packed away the items. During this time, Lu Wuyai went out again to make sure that all three vehicles were covered by the snow and would not be discovered by others.
At nine o'clock, everyone sat in the cave and began to cook. Yang Jian then started digging a tunnel to build a storage room to store surplus supplies and equipment.
That night, Lu Wuyai and the others dug the pit until dawn. Exhausted, they all went back to rest.
As Lu Wuyai lay in bed, listening to the howling wind outside, he was making plans for tomorrow.
The next day, Yang Jian brought Su Xi and Song Xiaoyou to the container base.
Now, not only is the weather getting worse, but the radiation hasn't decreased either. Yang Jian and the others must hurry to obtain the printing materials to avoid future disruptions.
The off-road vehicle plowed a path through the snow, but the blizzard's power far exceeded their expectations. The snow was so solid that the car could no longer move forward.
Halfway there, the three of them had to stop, put on their skis, and quickly ski back to the base.
The protective suits shielded Yang Jian and the other two from the heavy snow, making things much easier for them.
Traversing the snow and propelled by the strong winds, the three of them reached the container base in just ten minutes.
This time, Lu Wuyai was extremely careful, making sure there were no traps around. He decisively went to the second floor of the base and swiped his card to enter a container that he hadn't explored before.
There was no one in the room. Lu Wuyai waved to Su Xi and Song Xiaoyou, telling them to hurry up and collect the materials.
The first batch of printing materials was quickly collected. The quantity wasn't large, barely enough to print one set.
Just then, as Lu Wuyai opened the container next door, gunshots rang out the next second.
"Yang Jian, what's wrong?"
Tang Xin and Song Xiaoyou hurriedly went outside, but unexpectedly, two people were firing shots.
Besides Lu Wuyai, who was still standing, there was a dead stranger next to the container. His blood was slowly congealing along the container.
"Hurry inside, someone might be coming." Lu Wuyai had just killed someone and his emotions hadn't calmed down yet, but he immediately ordered Su Xi and the others to take action.
He then immediately opened the third container, saw that it was empty, and rushed inside. After searching, he also found some printed materials piled up in a corner.
But accidents happened frequently. Lu Wuyai felt the wind blowing against his neck and immediately lowered his head. A leg appeared and smashed the computer opposite him to pieces.
Lu Wuyai got up from the ground. Luckily, he had good hearing, otherwise his neck would have been broken.
At that moment, Lu Wuyai saw that the door to the secret chamber was open, and people were walking out from nearby. At a glance, he knew they were the experimental humans from before.
Lu Wuyai had no intention of lingering here and immediately headed towards the exit.
Meanwhile, many humans appeared where Tang Xin and Song Xiaoyou were. Fortunately, this time, Tang Xin and Song Xiaoyou both brought guns and crossbows. After filming continuously, they encountered Lu Wuyai in the snow.
“There isn’t enough printing material,” Su Xi said. The current quantity is only enough for two sets of clothes, much less than expected.
Lu Wuyai frowned. He felt that to be on the safe side, there should be at least one person per person, but now they couldn't even meet the minimum standard.
"I'm leaving now, I'm afraid there won't be a chance today." Lu Wuyai shook his head. There were already many people in the containers on the second floor. Judging from the number of people, they had no chance at all.
Despite the thick snowfall, these people seemed completely unfazed by the cold. They wore only thin clothing and didn't even shiver.
Lu Wuyai couldn't hear the other person's heartbeat either. To be precise, it was very hard to hear, not impossible.
Just as they were retreating, a woman suddenly called out to them.
"Is this what you wanted?" The woman's hair was disheveled and she looked unkempt, but what she held in her hand was quite nice: materials for a 3D printer.
Lu Wuyai nodded without any attempt to hide his feelings.
“Let’s make a deal. We need food, you give us food, and we’ll give you these things.”
The woman's words immediately made Lu Wuyai frown.
“Why should I believe you? We can do without this.” Su Xi suddenly said.
As a result, Lu Wuyai secretly sensed something was wrong and immediately pulled Su Xi to shield her behind him.
“It can be traded, but how? We don’t have much food either.” Lu Wuyai stared at the woman; her calmness frightened him a little.
Just now, a lot of people came out of the nearby woods, all shirtless, not afraid of the cold at all.
"One magazine, one meal."
How much is a serving of food?
"One person, three meals a day."
"Hehehe." Lu Wuyai sneered, then remained silent, staring at the woman.
Everyone knows that's impossible.
After a period of silence, the people in the forest suddenly began to move.
Su Xi and Song Xiaoyou pulled the trigger at the same time, and bullets flew through the forest, causing Lu Wuyai's heart to leap into his throat.
In this situation, the power of cannons and crossbows is reduced to a minimum.
However, Lu Wuyai had already realized something was wrong. He took a step back and pushed the two women away with all his might.
At the same time, the opponent's attack came right in front of Lu Wuyai.
Because of his hearing impairment, he had been on guard for a long time. He held a sharp dagger in his hand and was entangled with the person rushing towards him.
But the next second, Lu Wuyai got up, and there was already a trace of blood on the dagger.
At this moment, Lu Wuyai was certain that these people were alive, but they didn't look like ordinary humans. Their entire bodies were as cold as ice, and their muscles had no elasticity.
Just now, Lu Wuyai struck first. Although he was terrified, the situation did not allow him to hesitate for even a moment.
When the man died, the others who were about to move immediately stopped and stared at Yang Jian with extremely unfriendly eyes.
Lu Wuyai stood there, looked at the woman opposite him, and then glanced at the humans behind him.
"We won't provide food, but we can give you a message, provided you get your hands on the bullets and hand them over to us."
"Do you think we'll believe you?" the woman said.
"Believe it or not, it's no use for you to have the ink cartridge anyway, you can't stop us from leaving." Lu Wuyai said this with confidence and pride on his face.
The northwest wind was howling, but Lu Wuyai didn't feel cold at all. Snowflakes kept falling, greatly obstructing his vision.
After the snowflakes stabilized their falling speed again, Lu Wuyai noticed a bag of ink cartridges not far away. The quantity wasn't large, but it was enough for them to print two more sets of protective suits.
"Information," the woman said.
Lu Wuyai thought for a moment, then stretched out his hand, pointed in a certain direction, and said, "There are many containers over there; that's where our food comes from. You can let them try it."
This news came as a huge surprise to the human test subjects.
“I’ve already told you the news. I’m going to get the bullets.” Yang Jian said as he walked forward, picking up a box of ink from beside the woman’s feet.
When he stood up, Lu Wuyai realized that the disheveled woman with long, flowing hair was actually quite beautiful, and she seemed somewhat familiar.
"Who are you?" Lu Wuyai frowned, not knowing the other person's name.
Soon, the other party left, walking barefoot on the white snow with a group of humans towards the beach.
At this point, Yang Jian successfully returned to the car with Su Xi and Song Xiaoyou.
On the way, Su Xi asked, "How are you going to tell them about the containers?"
“No. He actually provided them with food.” Lu Wuyai rolled his eyes and said, “Anyway, there are so many containers. Even if I didn’t tell them, they would find it when the snow stopped.”
"They won't be able to remove the contents of these containers for a while. Then we can go and check if there are any leaks."
Lu Wuyai clearly had his own plans. After a brief discussion, the two women became thoughtful.
At noon, Lu Wuyai drove past Shishan and finally stopped near the pool.
After opening the hole, Lu Wuyai threw the ink cartridge down, quickly closed the wooden board, and continued walking towards the beach with Su Xi and Song Xiaoyou.
Although Lu Wuyai felt that what he said made a lot of sense, in reality, he naturally hoped to open more "blind boxes" to ensure that he would get better things.
Moreover, Lu Wuyai was still quite afraid of those experimental humans, always feeling that they had overlooked something.
After passing the cave entrance, Su Xi and Song Xiaoyou quickly got out of the car, cleared away the nearby snow, and opened the other two cars.
And so, he drove on towards the sea.
But this time, Lu Wuyai didn't stop immediately after they reached the sea. He drove the SUV into the open ocean. This was because there were more and denser containers at sea than on land.
"Let's start here."
Lu Wuyai clapped his hands, got out of the SUV, and told the two women behind him to hurry up.
This time, they have enough space and time to collect more supplies.
The three people split into two groups. Su Xi and Song Xiaoyou teamed up to open the blind boxes on the beach.
As for Lu Wuyai, he naturally ventured deep into the ocean, where the density of containers was much higher, and some were even frozen underwater, revealing extremely clear images.
"Come on." Lu Wuyai excitedly raised the gun, inserted the silencer, aimed the muzzle at the trigger, and skillfully pulled the trigger.
And so, the three of them spent the entire afternoon navigating through the densely packed shipping containers. While utterly exhausted, they also amassed a large quantity of supplies.
Yes, there are many types of materials.
It can be said that a family already has everything it should have.
Tang Xin even discovered a large quantity of diesel fuel, which was a huge boon for them.
Strangely, the diesel fuel was in plastic drums, not in containers. It was spilled everywhere, and some of it even froze in the water.
"There are twelve barrels of diesel in total, and my car and Su Xi's car can't hold any more."
Lu Wuyai hadn't expected there to be so much diesel fuel; some of it even had to be hidden in the snow to prevent others from discovering it.
In addition, there were some odds and ends, such as toothpaste cups, thermos flasks, induction cookers, purified water, liniment, etc., almost everything.
"This trip was very rewarding."
On the way back, Lu Wuyai looked at the mustard greens and moldy tofu in his hand and was amazed.
Song Xiaoyou's dune truck also contained several bags of rice.
"Now, we won't have to worry about food and water next year." Yang Jian felt that things would only get better and better in the future.
The three cars slowly made their way through the snowstorm. Finally, at dusk, they reached the rocky mountain. At that moment, the snowstorm's intensity had unknowingly increased considerably.
To prevent the food from being contaminated with radiation, they parked the car directly at the cave entrance. Upon opening the trunk, they found that the people inside had already laid out blankets on the floor.
Soon, bags of rice were unloaded from Song Xiaoyou's sand cart. As the people inside made excited noises, Lu Wuyai and Tang Xin also began unloading their own things.
Half an hour later, all the supplies were put into the cave. Yang Jian and the others drove the vehicle to the vicinity of the water pit and placed ground stakes around it to prevent the vehicle from being blown away by the strong wind.
After completely closing the cave door, Lu Wuyai breathed a sigh of relief.
Inside the cave, the lights were on, and six women were busy organizing supplies, especially the twelve diesel drums, which were not easy to move.
“I’ll stay here, you go do other things.” Yang Jian rolled up his sleeves, but instead of moving the diesel drum, he picked up a shovel and started digging near the hole.
I took some cement and wood and used them as supports to prop up the small cave that was about to form.
Two hours later, a space about three meters long, wide and high was found in the soil below the cave.
After laying the cement and making the door, Yang Jian busied himself moving the diesel drums and carefully storing the plastic boxes.
