Although the rocky mountain might be submerged by the sea, Lu Wuyai and the others must prepare to avoid being submerged.
At nine o'clock in the morning, after two full hours of preparation, five vehicles left the rocky mountain and headed deeper into the deserted island, the farther the better.
On the way, everyone's expressions were solemn as the car gradually drove into a dense forest.
Su Xi sat in the passenger seat; they were the only two people in the entire MPV.
"Where do we go now?" Su Xi felt uneasy. She doubted anyone would enjoy this feeling of having no fixed destination.
Lu Wuyai shook his head. He didn't know if a tsunami would occur.
If it happens, no one knows how much impact the disaster will have. All they can do now is run as far away as possible.
Su Xi was also holding a bag containing guns, ammunition, and highly lethal grenades.
Now almost everyone has a bag of these weapons.
The vehicle drove through the forest, the surroundings remaining eerily quiet. There was no sound, and no animals in sight.
It wasn't until after noon that Lu Wuyai realized how far he had driven when a very melodious bird song suddenly rang in his ears.
At this moment, Lu Wuyai visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
Sometimes, being able to hear sounds, even noise, can be a pleasure.
At this moment, there was no road ahead, so Lu Wuyai had no choice but to park the MPV in the forest and cover it with his clothes for the time being, but the car was filled with fresh water.
As for the other four vehicles, they are: two off-road vehicles, one mountain bike, and one military green pickup truck. The space inside and out is also fully occupied.
The space inside a car is limited, so every available space must be utilized.
The general and his companion slowly emerged from the woods.
There was something like a pole between the two large dogs. The white wolf simply lay inside it, comfortably following behind the car the whole way.
The nine puppies jumped off the SUV and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
From here on, the atmosphere in the forest seemed more comfortable, unlike before when it was so quiet.
Lu Wuyai glanced at the mountain behind him and quickly flew the drone around the mountain once.
After confirming there were no large wild animals, he began his ascent to the summit. The other women remained in their vehicle, continuously patrolling the nearby forest using drones.
Half an hour later, Lu Wuyai stood atop the mountain. From head to toe, he felt as if he had taken a bath. He secretly thought that there was too much dew in the mountains and rivers.
Standing here, looking in the direction he came from, Lu Wuyai didn't notice anything amiss.
I hope I'm just overthinking it.
After descending the mountain, Lu Wuyai turned on the MPV's solar panels, taking advantage of the opportune moment to absorb more solar energy.
Gu Yuxin also has many solar panels, which were all taken out and placed in the sunlight at this moment.
These batteries, which function like mini chargers, can be truly useful at night or on rainy days.
For a period of time before dark, everyone seemed very uneasy, but for such a long time, there were no signals about an earthquake or tsunami.
This made Lu Wuyai wonder if he had made a mistake.
However, Gu Yuxin said that neither earthquakes nor tsunamis can happen instantly, and time will tell.
Lu Wuyai nodded, but no one slept well that night.
However, on the second day, for almost a full day and night, nothing unexpected happened, either inside or outside the deserted island.
“Let’s go back,” Lu Wuyai said, suspecting he was mistaken. The silence of that forest might not be related to the tsunami.
At this point, the other women also felt that things were not as they had thought, and that they might be making a mountain out of a molehill.
So, after noon, everyone returned the way they came. Along the way, insects and birds chirped incessantly, and there was not a moment of silence.
At this moment, Lu Wuyai slowly breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thinking that he might have made a mountain out of a molehill.
Before dusk, they successfully reached the rocky hill and saw the intact traps. They knew that no one or no animal had passed through there that day and night.
But when they drove the car near the tomb, Lu Wuyai and the others' expressions changed.
There used to be a sparse forest around the tomb, but now many large trees have been cut down.
Lu Wuyai was filled with doubt. After getting off the car, he observed carefully and found that all the broken trees seemed to have been broken by something, rather than by an axe or saw.
In the forest, large trees breaking is not uncommon, but such a large-scale occurrence seems abnormal no matter how you look at it.
Lu Wuyai touched the fracture of one of the large trees and found that the broken part looked as if it had been snapped by something.
"That's probably impossible."
The smallest of these trees was as thick as a grown calf. Even if Lu Wuyai tried his best, he couldn't break it.
Thinking of this, Lu Wuyai swallowed hard, feeling as if something terrifying was watching him from the forest.
The other women also got out of the car and saw the messy forest, and couldn't understand it for a moment.
However, just to be on the safe side, Lu Wuyai told them to park the car first and go back to the cave to discuss it further.
Soon, the MPV drove into the garage, while the other vehicles were scattered in the nearby woods. However, in the current forest, many areas were clearly visible, making it difficult to hide the tracks of these vehicles.
Fortunately, the general remained near the tomb that night to keep watch for them.
Early the next morning, Lu Wuyai took a shovel and dug several holes nearby, preparing to build several new garages.
In addition to the MPV, they also own four other vehicles. While they may not all be used, they are sometimes extremely important as a means of transportation.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Su Xi and the others finished breakfast and left the tomb to help. The tsunami they had suspected did not occur, which relieved them.
But their discovery in the forest yesterday made them somewhat uneasy.
Almost all of these broken trees were snapped by immense force. Just thinking about that force makes it seem almost impossible for human strength to resist.
This morning, Lu Wuyai also discovered that the broken parts of the trees all had obvious scratches, which convinced him that the culprit behind this scene was likely some kind of large wild animal.
Emerging from underground, Lu Wuyai found a deep crater behind him. Yu Mengru and Tang Xin were expanding into space, allowing the dune vehicle to enter.
The next day, Lu Wuyai and the others were digging a tunnel. This task should have been completed months ago.
The fifth garage door wasn't installed until dark, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"There shouldn't be any problems." Lu Wuyai clapped his hands and stretched his muscles. Even he would lose half his life after a day's work.
All garages are equipped with access cards; only white ID cards can open the iron gates.
In each cave dwelling, a wooden frame is erected and cement is fired onto it, so that it can be used for a long time.
Ten minutes later, it was completely dark. We drove the car into the cave, closed the door, and everyone went back inside to rest.
But before entering, Lu Wuyai paused at the cave entrance for a moment. For some reason, at that moment, the nearby forest fell silent again.
Lu Wuyai's heart skipped a beat; he felt somewhat uneasy.
Therefore, before entering the cave, he thoroughly covered the entire area, ensuring there were no gaps at the entrance, and set some traps. Then he went to the pile of stones and returned to the cave from there.
That night, Lu Wuyai lay in bed. There were no insects or birds in his ears. It was unusually quiet in the forest.
However, Lu Wuyai felt that this environment was more terrifying than the roars of wild beasts.
In the silence, something important seemed to be needed.
Lu Wuyai stared in panic at the photos of the tiger and the goat opposite him. His weary nerves finally calmed down, and he fell asleep without realizing it.
The next day, Lu Wuyai got up very early again. After drinking a large bucket of water, he felt as if his whole body had come back to life.
Stepping out of the cave and arriving at the pool, Lu Wuyai looked around at the surrounding traps and walked around the rocky hill, but found no animal or human footprints.
During this period, as the autumn air became crisp and clear, the survivors became more and more active in the forest.
After passing through the forest and arriving near the cave, Lu Wuyai put away the traps and hid the grenades on his waist.
Nothing unusual happened in the forest that night.
Lu Wuyai thought for a while, checked the pistol and bullets, and then walked towards the nearby dense forest.
Early morning, a time when all things should be reviving, but Lu Wuyai still could hardly hear any animal sounds, as if these things had been removed from the deserted island, leaving only an empty shell.
Lu Wuyai thought for a while, then returned to the cave, took out a balance scooter, and drove it quickly along the forest path.
Compared to cars, this electric self-balancing scooter is more suitable for working in dense forests.
A few hours later, Lu Wuyai arrived near the orchard and frowned. He smelled a strong fishy odor in the air and almost vomited up his entire meal.
"What's going on?"
Lu Wuyai took a breath and felt a strange numbness on his scalp. He put down his Segway and walked towards the orchard on the cliff.
There was still a sense of silence in the nearby forest.
Lu Wuyai swallowed hard. When he reached the edge of the orchard, he saw several corpses impaled by tree branches; these were all human bodies.
These people died horribly. Their killers seemed to have some peculiar fetish. They not only gouged out their opponents' eyes, but their limbs were also twisted to varying degrees. The extent of the distortion was gruesome to behold. Calm down.
Lu Wuyai broke out in a cold sweat, his calves trembling. He suddenly realized that all the survivors in the orchard were dead.
Thinking of this, Lu Wuyai couldn't help but quicken his pace. When he arrived at the orchard, he looked at the ground stained red with blood, and his whole body trembled.
"They're all dead. They're all dead."
When Lu Wuyai inhaled, he could feel his nasal cavity trembling.
The corpses on the ground, regardless of age or gender, all had their eyes gouged out. Such a horrific scene would leave a lasting impression on anyone.
Lu Wuyai held onto a large tree to prevent himself from falling, but waves of dizziness made his vision even darker. It took him a while to finally recover.
When Lu Wuyai got up from the ground, he still felt dizzy. Looking at the corpses on the ground, he felt sad. He didn't know who had killed them.
"The method was too cruel." Lu Wuyai walked around the fruit grove and found a lot of supplies. He was filled with suspicion about the murder.
It wasn't for food, nor for fresh water, but simply for killing for pleasure?
Lu Wuyai's heart remained unsettled for a long time.
Half an hour later, Lu Wuyai began piling the corpses together, preparing to burn them.
If corpses are left exposed, a plague will inevitably break out sooner or later.
As Lu Wuyai dragged the corpses along, he looked at the dead children, a chillingly eerie expression on his ashen face.
Who could be so cruel?
"Don't even mention murder, he even gouged out his own eyeballs."
Under the firelight, Lu Wuyai's face was gloomy, and thick gray smoke rose from the orchard, like a lonely ghost bidding a final farewell to the world.
Half an hour passed, and Lu Wuyai was still in the fruit grove.
In a clearing below the orchard, piles of unburnt corpses lay. A strong wind blew, carrying the ashes deeper into the deserted island.
Lu Wuyai turned on his balance bike, crossed the orchard, and headed towards another dense forest.
Along the way, there were still no sounds of insects or birds, but Lu Wuyai saw several lines of footprints on the ground ahead, very clear. This was why he did not immediately return to the cave after leaving the orchard.
We must find out who caused this tragedy in the fruit orchard, otherwise Lu Wuyai will always be worried about the stability of Shiqiu Town.
Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you make the right response before real danger strikes.
The balance bike kept moving forward on the mountain road, getting faster and faster, until one moment he suddenly braked and looked towards a high place.
The bloody smell that had just appeared in the air was coming from there.
Lu Wuyai breathed a sigh of relief, seemingly already seeing the mountain of corpses and sea of blood before him, thinking that there might still be a pile of victims' bodies there.
There was no sound. When Lu Wuyai stood on the high ground and looked down, the corpses along the way were as majestic as a road.
Lu Wuyai felt as if his heart had been violently struck, and he could barely breathe.
Although the survivors on the deserted island occasionally have conflicts and even kill each other for food or fresh water, this kind of pure desperation is the first time I have ever seen such behavior.
Lu Wuyai even suspected that someone might have come to the deserted island to seek revenge.
But the two consecutive acts of destruction convinced Lu Wuyai that this was not an act of revenge, but purely for the pleasure of killing.
In both camps, food and fresh water were readily available, indicating that the murderer did not lack these two items.
Furthermore, none of the victims sustained wounds caused by firearms. The killer used a melee weapon. Instead, the dead were found holding guns.
"Wrong." Lu Wuyai's eyes suddenly widened. He couldn't believe that a person's speed and reaction could be faster than a bullet.
On this barren slope, almost every adult has a gun, and some even pull the trigger before they die.
"Could the murderer be among the victims?"
Lu Wuyai was startled by his own thought, but quickly realized that it wasn't impossible. However, the bodies in the orchard had all been burned to death, so now he could only search for possible murderers on the ground where the bodies lay.
Soon, Lu Wuyai had piled the corpses together, searching for any differences between them.
The number of survivors in this area originally exceeded that of the orchard. What truly worried Lu Wuyai was that this group, despite their resistance, was still massacred.
Some of the bodies still had bullet holes, so you can imagine the chaotic scene at the time.
No one is alive; at least, there are no survivors among these corpses.
About ten minutes later, Lu Wuyai squatted down next to a corpse, a hint of suspicion flashing in his eyes.
At first glance, this body looked no different from the others. Blood was flowing from its eyes, and there was a bullet in its abdomen. It appeared to have been accidentally shot by one of its own.
However, Lu Wuyai still lifted the other person's eyelids and found that the other person's eyeballs had not disappeared.
At this moment, Lu Wuyai knew that he had finally found a different kind of corpse.
In all the corpses he had examined before, the eyeballs were missing. Even when the eyes were closed, there were no eyeballs in the eye sockets.
But this body was different. The blood at the corner of its eye initially led Lu Wuyai to mistake it for a victim.
"This male corpse looks no different from anything else." Lu Wuyai wondered if he had made a mistake. Perhaps the other party hadn't discovered the body.
But when Lu Wuyai forced his eyelids open and saw the eyeballs, the hairs on his neck instantly stood on end.
"How could that be?"
The last time Lu Wuyai saw those eyes was probably last month.
His bloodshot eyes were so red they looked like they could drip blood. Lu Wuyai touched his arm, goosebumps crawling all over his body, and stared at the corpse in horror.
Then, Lu Wuyai got up and washed his hands on the grass next to him with the dew that had not yet evaporated in the morning.
Last time, Lu Wuyai was very worried that the red-eyed human might have some kind of disease that caused his physical condition to be different from that of ordinary people.
Regarding this, Gu Yuxin once told him that some highly contagious viruses can indeed cause a huge change in a person's condition in a short period of time, but people who are infected with these diseases often die a bad death.
Lu Wuyai had just had close contact with him. Upon discovering the corpse's red eyes, he immediately washed his hands.
Although it is impossible to determine whether it was caused by a virus, he must take preventative measures in advance.
After carefully wiping the blood off his hands, Lu Wuyai stood up from the ground, looked back at the gentle slope, and remained unable to calm down for a long time.
Suppressing his nausea, he calmed down and continued to look at the remaining corpses, but this time, he was extremely careful.
After transporting all the corpses, Lu Wuyai burned them all.
"Let's go back first." Lu Wuyai did not continue forward. Instead, he rode his balance bike to Shi Qiu's side, took two buckets of water from the pool, and thoroughly washed his body.
For some reason, Lu Wuyai's eyes always seemed to flash with his blood-red eyes.
Just then, he noticed the sounds of insects and birds chirping in the woods again. If he hadn't just witnessed these two outcomes, Lu Wuyai would have thought he was dreaming.
Back in the cave, he didn't tell anyone what had just happened, nor would he.
First, the facts weren't clear yet, and telling them would only cause more people to worry. Second, Lu Wuyai felt that the person with pink eyes was very likely the murderer. Since the other person was already dead, he felt he could relax for the time being.
