"Wait for me!" Lu Wuyai called out to the others.
When we returned to the cave that day, it was already dusk. Looking at the orange sunset and the fiery red clouds drifting across the sky, everyone felt a little tired.
Several women came to the stream. Although the weather was pleasant now, they were always sticky when they returned from the forest. Song Xiaoyou explained that it was a secretion from insects, which was most abundant in spring.
Lu Wuyai saw them washing up by the pool, their beautiful figures even more prominent in the golden sunlight, making them look much younger.
The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it is already dusk.
Lu Wuyai stretched, caught the stone, and threw it accurately into the pool.
The pebbles fell into the water, splashing up large sprays that quickly soaked the clothes of the women squatting nearby.
"Lu Wuyai!" Jin Xilu screamed. She was the closest, and the water splashed directly onto her entire body. Moreover, she was wearing a white plaid dress today, which now revealed large areas of her snow-white skin.
Lu Wuyai chuckled wickedly for a while, then threw the stones into the pool one by one.
As dusk fell, the sounds of chasing and playing came from the rocky hill.
Two hours later, everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, and the cave fell into a long silence.
Lu Wuyai lay in his shipping container. There were no stray cats meowing tonight, and he was particularly focused.
Even through the thick layer of soil, he could hear the cries of wild beasts coming from the forest, one after another, continuing for a long time without stopping.
The noisy environment made it difficult for Lu Wuyai to rest. It was obvious that the strange beast in the forest was very close to the stone mountain, otherwise he wouldn't be able to see it so clearly.
"Let's go out and take a look." Lu Wuyai thought for a while, picked up a drone, installed the battery, walked to the entrance of the basement, swiped his card to open the door, and stepped out.
It was a very hot and humid night, but Lu Wuyai still installed an external night vision device on the drone.
Afterward, he leaned against the ground near the basement door and began to look at the forest below the drone.
“Actually, the deserted island is quite beautiful,” Lu Wuyai said.
Under the moonlight, the forest seemed to be draped in a thin veil, exuding an invisible allure wherever you went.
Soon, Lu Wuyai discovered that the forest was teeming with animals.
It's not just carnivores like wolves, but also many herbivores; it's like a carnival in the forest.
Lu Wuyai was taken aback. He didn't understand why there were so many animals on the deserted island.
He saw no fewer than ten different species of deer, including sika deer, Père David's deer, and reindeer. Just seeing that was enough to make one dizzy.
They raced through the forest at incredible speeds, disappearing into wave after wave of sight. The drones hovered continuously above the forest, their view crystal clear.
But immediately, Lu Wuyai remembered something: the vegetable garden.
Will so many animals trample the vegetable patch into pieces?
Thinking of this, Lu Wuyai couldn't help but worry. After a moment's thought, he returned to the cave, wrote a note, and placed it next to Su Xi. Then he took his basket, closed the door, and left with the general, one at a time. The dog got into the cart and immediately rushed towards the vegetable garden.
But halfway there, Lu Wuyai saw horses leaping out of the forest and hurriedly braked, almost causing a fatal accident.
"With so many horses migrating, the island is too big." Lu Wuyai found it difficult to get out of the carriage. There were too many horses; they were far more than just wild horses.
Lu Wuyai had to take a detour and it took him half an hour to reach the vegetable garden.
At this time, although the vegetable field had not yet been overturned, several holes had already been broken in the greenhouse that had been built before. Lu Wuyai vaguely saw some animals stealing the potatoes and sweet potatoes that they had worked so hard to grow in the greenhouse.
Lu Wuyai ran over and chased away the animals in the greenhouse, which turned out to be some vultures and monkeys.
As for the general, he is currently guarding the foot of the mountain, and his massive body can still play a certain role.
Wolves roam the forest, relentlessly attacking lone animals.
That night, Lu Wuyai didn't sleep a wink. He squatted in the vegetable garden, with several wolf carcasses at his feet.
As dawn broke in the east, Lu Wuyai twisted his neck, looking at the almost intact vegetable garden and the overturned SUV behind him, and still felt a little sad.
Last night, there were too many animals, and Lu Wuyai couldn't stop them. He could only use the SUV as a shield, and that's how this happened.
This car can still be driven, it's just too old and worn out.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Wuyai walked over and flipped the SUV over himself. This showed that he was stronger than expected.
"The previous potion changed a lot of things."
Lu Wuyai got into the car, tried to start it, then parked it at the foot of the mountain and tried to repair it.
Around nine o'clock in the morning, a group of people approached from afar; it was Su Xi and her companions.
After they got up, they didn't find that Lu Wuyai was nowhere to be seen. As soon as they stepped out of the cave and saw the mess in the forest, they realized what had happened the night before.
Later, they saw the note Lu Wuyai had written before he left.
"Don't do such dangerous things again next time," Su Xi complained. Compared to the vegetable garden, Lu Wuyai's life was of course the most important.
Seeing the "horrific state" in the forest, it's hard to imagine what happened last night.
“Okay,” Lu Wuyai said, he was perfectly fine. The vegetable garden was the most important thing now.
Although not a large number of animals passed through the vegetable garden last night, Lu Wuyai was still wary of some scattered animals.
Soon, the women rolled up their sleeves and began to deal with the trampled plants in the vegetable garden.
After working for an hour, everyone was out of breath. Since last night, neither men nor women had eaten anything; they were starving.
Soon after, some people followed Lu Wuyai back to the cave to prepare lunch and ingredients, while others remained in the vegetable garden.
After returning to the cave, Lu Wuyai and his companions not only started a fire to cook, but also went to the forest.
This time, the vegetable garden was trampled by animals. Although it was caused by a large-scale animal migration, it also served as a warning to Lu Wuyai.
The vegetable garden was far from the cave, out of their reach, and without any protective measures, it was difficult to take care of it at all times.
So this time, they plan to build a fence. Although they don't know what the final result will be, they have to do it now.
Lu Wuyai walked through the forest. He remembered that when he opened the wooden crate before, he had found a box of aluminum materials nearby. At the time, he didn't know what it was for, so he just left it in the forest.
So much time has passed, I wonder if that box of aluminum is still there.
Soon, Lu Wuyai saw a familiar scene and thought to himself that the container should be nearby.
After searching high and low, I finally found it.
Upon opening the box, Lu Wuyai discovered that some of the aluminum had been removed, but there was still enough left for him and his team to build a fence.
After carrying some back, Lu Wuyai drove another batch of aluminum materials in a beat-up car.
After lunch, Lu Wuyai, Su Xi, and Jin Xilu drove two cars back to the vegetable garden.
“You guys eat first, I’ll start driving the piles.” Lu Wuyai said, opening the trunk and scattering a lot of aluminum materials on the ground.
Actually, making a fence isn't difficult; we already had a general idea from the beginning.
First, Lu Wuyai selected a batch of high-quality aluminum materials of sufficient length and arranged them in a circle around the vegetable garden.
Lu Wuyai completed this project by himself while everyone else was having lunch.
The aluminum materials are sunk deep into the ground, spaced half a meter apart. They are not densely packed, but they still obstruct the passage of most animals.
Of course, this was just how the fence originally looked.
Soon, after everyone finished lunch, they picked out some particularly long aluminum sheets from the aluminum materials. These aluminum sheets were twisted and turned, and it was easy for a person to cut their palm when handling them. I believe the same would be true for animals.
Wrap these aluminum plates around the previously stacked aluminum materials, connect them together, and seal the gaps as tightly as possible.
In this situation, it is estimated that very few animals would be able to bypass these fences and enter the vegetable garden.
As for climbing over it, at a height of two meters, it would be difficult for even ordinary animals to jump over.
All afternoon, everyone was busy wrapping aluminum sheets. Halfway through the process, Lu Wuyai realized that they were running out of aluminum, so he made a special trip to bring in all the remaining aluminum.
In the forest near the vegetable garden, there was a shrubbery overgrown with thorns.
Song Xiaoyou and Tang Xin used an axe to cut off the sharp spikes and then stuck them all onto the surface of the aluminum material. From a distance, at first glance, they thought it was a green forest of thorns.
I was busy until dark, which was exactly seven o'clock.
Seven people sat in the car, bathed in moonlight. Apart from the sound of the engine, everyone was too exhausted to speak.
The fence is not yet finished, and the vegetable garden is actually quite large.
“It seems we still have half a day tomorrow,” Lu Wuyai suddenly said.
Inside the car, when no one responded, Lu Wuyai tilted his head and realized that Su Xi and the others had already fallen asleep.
Back in the cave dwelling, after a quick wash, everyone except Lu Wuyai, who was still grilling meat, went into a private room to rest.
"Are you that tired?" Lu Wuyai muttered, and began to enjoy his dinner alone.
Around 9 p.m., Lu Wuyai came to the basement with great interest, controlled the drone, and continued to observe the surrounding forest.
But to his disappointment, tonight was destined to be a quiet night.
The next day, Su Xi and the others continued building fences in the vegetable garden, while Lu Wuyai played with a card reader in the cave. Previously, they had only completed the cave entrance.
Soon, Gu Yuxin emerged from the container, rubbing her eyes and swinging her long, snow-white legs, a thin purple veil covering her body. His chest trembled; Lu Wuyai could no longer bear the constant state of being ready to emerge at any moment.
Noticing the man's burning gaze, Gu Yuxin suddenly remembered the suffering she had endured the previous night, and was startled. She quickly ran into the small cubicle. It took her a long time to get dressed and come out.
Lu Wuyai rubbed his nose and propped himself up on his thighs. He was adjusting the iron plate at the cave entrance. For a while, he hadn't had time to "tune" the sound for Gu Yuxin.
Around noon, Su Xi and the others returned, and Lu Wuyai had also finished installing the card reader for the underground cave. With a swipe of the card, the iron plate at the cave entrance opened automatically, much more convenient than before.
The fence over the vegetable garden was completed, which undoubtedly gave everyone peace of mind.
After that, everyone's focus returned to the herb garden.
To increase the intensity of sunlight, Lu Wuyai placed several pieces of glass on the pile of stones to allow as much sunlight as possible to penetrate the ground during the day.
Perhaps, as Gu Yuxin said, with the help of soil nutrient solution, these plants, which have been planted for less than a week, have already fully adapted to their new environment.
Meanwhile, thanks to everyone's efforts, more herbs are being planted in the herb garden.
Gu Yuxin even started some hydroponics, but no one knows what the final result will be.
The most crucial point, namely plant extracts, is that Gu Yuxin has already started research and development, but the product is not yet ready, so she can only proceed step by step.
Over the next few days, Lu Wuyai was busy studying the tunnel card reader in the cave to ensure its safety.
In the future, I'm afraid I'll be spending more and more time in the cave.
In the herb garden, golden sunlight streams in from outside, starting at eight in the morning and continuing until four in the afternoon. There are at least eight hours of sunlight a day. In addition, there are numerous refillable LED lights.
Many people are initially confused by this because some herbs grow in environments completely opposite to reality. Aren't they afraid of causing problems because of this?
Actually, there's nothing seriously wrong.
"These nutrient solutions aren't as simple as they seem," Gu Yuxin said with a mysterious smile.
And just like that, it was mid-May. A year had passed since the plane crash. Everyone sighed to themselves how fast time flies.
That night, Lu Wuyai was still doing nothing, playing with a drone on the ground.
But he soon discovered that tonight was exceptionally enchanting.
In fact, a large amount of white fog appeared at the horizon not far away. At first, Lu Wuyai thought it was water vapor, but he soon discovered that there were hazy colored lights in the fog.
This familiar scene instantly reminded Lu Wuyai of radiation.
But this was the first time he had ever seen such a large amount of radiation.
At this moment, he panicked and hurriedly turned around to enter the cave, waking all the sleeping women.
In the small cubicle, when they saw Lu Wuyai, the women screamed and quickly covered their bodies.
"Stop hitting him. Put your clothes on. Protective suits," Lu Wuyai roared.
At that moment, Jin Xilu and the others realized that something might have happened in the outside world.
In less than a minute, the seven people looked through the periscope and saw billowing white mist flying towards the rocky mountain.
“We had already arranged all the aviation materials,” Gu Yuxin said.
Lu Wuyai nodded. During this time, whenever they had a spare moment, they spread the materials in every corner of the cave, even covering the containers.
This is also a precaution. Although the last radiation did not damage them, these materials can still insulate them from the high temperature, preventing the arrival of summer from affecting food preservation.
However, we were powerless to do anything about the vegetable garden. The only consolation was that we had already harvested a batch of potatoes and sweet potatoes.
The cave was quiet, and everyone was very nervous.
They thought it was just an ordinary night, but when Lu Wuyai asked them to put on their protective suits immediately, they realized that there would be no peace tonight.
Here, Lu Wuyai was still observing the outside world through the periscope every minute of every day.
Outside the deserted island, on the sea, a white mist, like a wall, was controlled by a mysterious force and slowly approached the island.
Half an hour later, the white mist approached the stone mountain. At this moment, Lu Wuyai could clearly see that the dim space nearby seemed to be distorted, similar to the deformed state of air during the hottest time of summer.
"They're here."
Lu Wuyai spoke in a low voice, and the woman beside him also stood up, looking uneasily at everything in the cave.
Soon, Lu Wuyai pulled out the periscope and used a clump of aviation material to block the hole.
After he finished doing all this, a buzzing sound, like a signal interruption, suddenly came from his ears and continued.
"Put your ears in." Gu Yuxin handed Lu Wuyai earplugs, which relieved his symptoms.
However, Lu Wuyai realized that these phones might not be able to make calls to the outside world at this time.
Lu Wuyai wasn't the only one with this idea. Gu Yuxin, who was nearby, had already found her phone and started trying to dial numbers from her contacts.
Beep beep beep.
This time, many calls still went unanswered, but everyone had gotten used to it and patiently dialed the numbers.
As for Lu Wuyai, he was always listening to the outside world.
A dozen minutes later, some cell phones rang noticeably, and Lu Wuyai also heard the sound of white mist sweeping over the rocky mountain.
It was a sound similar to a snake spitting out a message, which gradually grew louder in his ears.
"Hey, hey... Hey... Whitehead"
Lu Wuyai's hand trembled, and a familiar voice came from the phone.
"Monkey, are you alright?" Lu Wuyai turned on speakerphone. He never expected that the first person to call would be him, and the other person was his college roommate, Monkey.
The last phone call was from the monkey telling him to live well, but then the signal was cut off.
"White Head, don't go back to the mainland. Go as far as you can." The monkey's voice was extremely clear, but Lu Wuyai could clearly hear some heavy breathing nearby.
"Monkey, what happened to you over there?" Lu Wuyai's eyes widened, feeling that this time they could finally unravel some secrets about radiation.
"It's too late, I..." Then, the voice suddenly stopped.
When it was finally over, Lu Wuyai heard someone on the other side yelling at the monkey, saying that if the rules weren't followed, the others would be killed.
As the phone screen gradually dimmed, Lu Wuyai felt heavy-hearted, and everyone else fell silent as well, before starting a new round of dialing.
On the rocky mountain, white mist raged, and countless rays of light overflowed within it.
Lu Wuyai adjusted his earplugs to make his ears more comfortable.
"You guys keep making calls, I'll go get something to eat." Lu Wuyai was really hungry.
After grilling some Wagyu beef and boiling some dumplings, Lu Wuyai rubbed his stomach and felt much better.
Just then, several women's phone calls were successfully connected one after another.
The cave was very quiet. As the conversation continued, secrets that had been sealed away like icebergs began to be slowly revealed.
"Don't come back..."
"Sigh... Don't come back, cousin. Live well."
Hello, what exactly happened?
"I don't know... that one day the world will descend into chaos."
