On Black Rock Mountain, Lu Wuyai loaded all the excavated black rocks onto the pickup truck. At this time, there were still two hours until dawn.
Looking at the ground beneath his feet, Lu Wuyai suddenly realized that the so-called Black Stone Mountain might only be the tip of the iceberg.
Underground, the black stones continued to stretch out. I didn't know how big they were. They were like icebergs rising from the sea. What's truly good is hidden underwater.
Thinking of this, Lu Wuyai realized that all his previous worries had been in vain. There were still black stones at the foot of Black Stone Mountain.
More likely, it's a black stone vein. In that case, it's impossible for the other party to have dug this place out in a short period of time.
After carefully reinforcing the black stone and the carriage, Lu Wuyai started the vehicle and drove the pickup truck out of the dense forest in the Black Stone Mountains.
After that, Lu Wuyai did not stop, but rushed towards the stone mountain overnight.
This trip to Black Stone Mountain, and facing this unfamiliar man, gave Lu Wuyai a new understanding of his own body.
"Although these black stones are not very hard, it is incredible that a single punch can leave a fist mark."
Along the way, Lu Wuyai was still stunned by his own strength; he had actually defeated his opponent. Just hearing the sound of bones breaking filled him with inexplicable excitement.
“I’m considered… a martial arts master.” Lu Wuyai gestured in the driver’s seat, nearly plunging into the roadside forest. He was so frightened that he immediately became honest.
And so, at noon the next day, Lu Wuyai returned to the vegetable garden.
Park the pickup truck near the cave entrance, aim it at the entrance, and slowly start the lever. Large amounts of black rocks begin to roll down into the cave.
Lu Wuyai got out of the car and stretched. At that moment, he was pretty sure he hadn't caught conjunctivitis.
Soon, when they heard the sounds coming from the cave below the vegetable garden, the women ran out one after another. Seeing that Lu Wuyai was alright, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Are you alright?" Su Xi asked anxiously as she walked to Lu Wuyai's side.
Lu Wuyai shook his head, grabbed Su Xi, and gave him a tight hug.
Holding his delicate body in his arms, especially since it was a character from a comic book, Lu Wuyai's mind immediately became active. However, because there were too many people around, he could only secretly look at Xuefeng.
Su Xi blushed and struggled to jump away. She rolled her eyes at Lu Wuyai, pulled Song Xiaoyou into the vegetable garden, and began picking vegetables.
As for the other women, they were all busy with their own things, and the chirping of insects and birds in the forest made it seem particularly lively.
Lu Wuyai spent the afternoon with a cheerful smile and the same light steps.
Lu Wuyai leaned against a big tree, watching the women working hard on the rocky mountain.
It had been raining on and off for more than half a month, and now golden sunlight was streaming down from the sky. Everyone felt very comfortable.
"Lu Wuyai, help us dry the blankets," Su Xi called out from the side.
The sun rarely comes out, and there are still at least 8 hours until sunset, making it the perfect time to sunbathe in bed.
Upon hearing this, Lu Wuyai climbed down from the tree, stretched, went into the cave, and took out a cotton quilt that emitted a faint fragrance.
"It smells so good," Lu Wuyai said, sniffing the blanket.
Upon hearing this, the women all blushed with embarrassment. Then they glared fiercely at Lu Wuyai, snatched the blankets from his hands, and began to spread them out on the high rocky hill.
The sunlight was just right, warm and always gave people a feeling of positive energy.
So Lu Wuyai lay down on the rocky hill again, tapping Erlang's leg, listening to the chirping of insects and birds in the forest, his thoughts drifting to the sky for a while.
He didn't open his eyes again until Yuri's voice rang out.
What truly catches the eye are their long, straight legs. Their snow-white skin, like jade, gleams with a crystalline luster. One can't resist reaching out to play with them.
But when Lu Wuyai regained his senses, he remembered what Gu Yuxin seemed to have said earlier.
What did you just say?
"I'm asking you, do you want to go to the vegetable garden? Su Xi and the others have all left."
Lu Wuyai turned his head and realized that there was no one left on the rocky mountain.
"Let's go take a look."
This forest remains very unsafe. Besides the frequent sightings of wild animals, there are also many survivors, not to mention those suffering from conjunctivitis.
A few minutes later, Lu Wuyai led Su Xi to the vegetable garden and found that Su Xi and the others were already busy picking vegetables.
Lu Wuyai could also see many footprints in the woods near the vegetable garden, and even human footprints near the garage.
Unfortunately, Lu Wuyai and his men had laid traps nearby. Although they weren't deadly, they were effective to some extent.
"I'll go help first." You said, and in the blink of an eye, you were in the vegetable garden, helping Gu Yuxin fertilize.
Lu Wuyai rearranged the traps and observed the surrounding area.
The forest was very quiet, with no predators. Instead, this autumn, survivors frequently visited every corner of the deserted island.
So far, Lu Wuyai and the others have not ventured to the deepest part of the deserted island. To be precise, they have no idea how big the island is.
Even some of the survivors of the recent emergency landing parachuted out. Even they had never seen the size of this deserted island.
However, after living there for so long, the only thing Lu Wuyai and his companions were certain of was that this deserted island was indeed very large.
"I don't know if I'll be able to set foot on every inch of this deserted island before I die." Lu Wuyai gave a bitter smile, deeply realizing how insignificant humanity is in the face of nature.
Suddenly, a sea breeze blew in from the direction of the beach, carrying a salty smell.
"It's getting windy."
The rainy season has just ended, and the sea breeze is a bit chilly, giving many people goosebumps.
Lu Wuyai looked at the horizon and noticed that the dark clouds and lightning formed a stark contrast with the blue sky above the deserted island.
"The weather is changing too fast." Lu Wuyai was speechless for a moment.
As a result, in less than half an hour, the strong winds continued to ravage the deserted island. Lu Wuyai protected all the women and entered the cave from underground.
The moment the cave door closed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and then returned to their cave chambers to clean up the mess.
Afterwards, Lu Wuyai lay alone on the bed in the shipping container, while the other women continued to grow herbs in the cave with Gu Yuxin.
Today, the cave contains numerous wooden frames, with only one place in the middle to stand. Hundreds of stones are also placed on the frames, each tied with straw.
As soon as the lights are turned on, the tomb is filled with a verdant color.
Inside the container, Lu Wuyai closed his eyes to rest. The howling wind in his ears was like a lullaby, constantly reminding him that he should fall asleep quickly.
In reality, Lu Wuyai was imagining those two ancient paintings. One moment he was lying on the ground sleeping, the next he was on all fours, sitting and eating.
That kind of charm, if it were someone wearing a tiger's skin or a sheep's skin, no one could tell the difference. This is someone pretending.
A few hours later, Lu Wuyai woke up. This time, in addition to the familiar dry mouth and extreme hunger, there was also a comfortable and warm feeling surging from his lower abdomen throughout his body.
It was as if someone had installed an electric heater on Lu Wuyai's lower abdomen to continuously dissipate heat.
“This should be the dantian.” Lu Wuyai touched his navel, seemingly lost in thought.
He speculated that these ancient paintings might resemble the internal techniques in martial arts novels, suggesting that there might actually be masters in the world who could fly over walls.
Thinking of this, Lu Wuyai felt a surge of excitement, as if he had discovered a new world. No one could resist this.
Lu Wuyai took a breath, and the warm feeling in his stomach lasted for a full five minutes before it ended.
During this time, Lu Wuyai constantly checked his physical condition. Apart from some data being lower than normal, there was nothing unusual.
"Lu Wuyai, come here quickly, come eat." Gu Yuxin's voice rang out on every channel. Lu Wuyai couldn't help but sigh, she really was a singer, with such a loud voice.
Dinner was noodles. Lu Wuyai ate a whole bucket of noodles by himself, but he was still not full.
Finally, Su Xi got him a few steaks.
"And steak." Lu Wuyai's eyes widened. He realized that the Wagyu beef should have been finished long ago.
"There are still a few pieces left, but after we finish eating them, there really won't be any left," Su Xi said.
Nowadays, most of the meat has been consumed. Even the dry rations that Lu Wuyai obtains from hunting every day have been made into marching rations to ensure they don't spoil and are easy to transport and carry.
“It’s autumn now, and meat should keep better, so we won’t use it as marching rations,” Lu Wuyai suggested. “Although meat isn’t very filling, it’s not as chewy as marching rations.”
The women all nodded. The fresh meat tasted really good, and they should take advantage of this time before winter arrives to prepare it properly.
"Give us a little more time; the temperature isn't particularly cold right now," Jin Xilu said.
After dinner, everyone started to rest. In this stormy weather, sleeping was the best thing to do.
Back in the container, Lu Wuyai lay on the bed, the sound of raindrops falling on the stones sounding like a song without any melody.
He had slept for so long during the day, but he wasn't sleepy at all. Even looking at ancient paintings couldn't lull him to sleep.
"Let's watch a movie." Lu Wuyai got up from the ground and found the projector and projector.
Having randomly chosen a horror movie, Lu Wuyai leaned against the bed, looking utterly bored.
That night seemed to last forever.
After watching a horror movie, Lu Wuyai's enthusiasm waned, so he found another romance movie to change things up.
As a result, Lu Wuyai fell asleep halfway through the book. When he woke up again, it was already eight o'clock the next day.
Lu Wuyai shook his head to clear his head, secretly saying that watching movies was quite soporific.
But when he stepped out of the cave, he found the sky to be overcast.
This gloom wasn't like the dark clouds during a rainstorm, but a deeper color that instilled despair and suffocated the soul.
Lu Wuyai let out a breath and looked eastward. At this time in the past, even if it wasn't a sunny day, the sky was still white.
"What happened?" Lu Wuyai looked at the dark gray sky above and felt that the air was a bit pungent.
The rain had just stopped last night, and puddles of all sizes could be seen everywhere in the forest near the rocky hill.
Lu Wuyai paused for a moment and came to the pool. When he drew back the curtains to fetch water, he suddenly noticed that the pebbles of all sizes on the rocky hill seemed to have changed color.
Picking up a stone, Lu Wuyai noticed that its surface was covered with a layer of black stuff that looked like ash.
Lu Wuyai frowned, went into the pool to fetch a bucket of water, and then returned to the cave.
Previously, a water storage pool was built inside the cave to facilitate daily laundry and cooking for everyone.
At this moment, Lu Wuyai had a feeling that the changes in the sky might affect their life on the deserted island. Taking advantage of the fact that they couldn't feel the changes yet, he took the time to store water.
This is a sixth sense, similar to how animals anticipate danger.
Lu Wuyai pressed his eyebrows. The area between his eyes had been twitching since earlier, which made him very uncomfortable.
Lu Wuyai ran back and forth between the pool and the cave more than a dozen times before the reservoir was completely filled.
Later, Lu Wuyai filled the empty plastic bucket with water. The color of the sky made him nervous and uneasy.
Halfway there, Su Xi and the others woke up and arrived at the stone mountain. They looked up at the sky and felt their hearts pounding.
"What's going on?" Gu Yuxin looked up at the sky, her eyes filled with confusion.
Song Xiaoyou squinted. Although her eyesight was excellent, she couldn't see that far.
But she was staring at the sky just to look for some clues.
Lu Wuyai was also carrying a bucket of water. They needed to be fully prepared for unknown natural disasters.
There's no shortage of food in the burrow. Even if they don't go out to hunt, they'll have enough to survive until next summer, so water is the most important resource.
Once a person is dehydrated, death is not far away.
At this moment, Su Xi suddenly exclaimed.
"We should build a shed in the vegetable garden."
Su Xi's words reminded everyone that the vegetable garden must be protected in the event of any natural disaster. Recently, new vegetable seeds have been planted in the garden, and the potatoes and sweet potatoes will be ready for harvest soon.
Lu Wuyai rushed to the vegetable garden and pulled the iron frame he had prepared earlier out of the hole. He picked up a hammer and pushed the frame to the ground along the edge of the garden. The meter-long iron bar was completely buried in the soil.
Lu Wuyai took a breath, looked at the broken hammerhead, and couldn't help but think to himself, "This is so useless."
The first step was to drive the foundation piles, and then they took out the prepared greenhouse and cleverly placed it on the vegetable garden.
For stability, the greenhouse was built very low, with a support structure made entirely of steel. Tied to ground stakes, it is difficult to shake. Even during the last typhoon, the vegetable garden remained intact.
This time, however, they covered the greenhouse with a layer of aerospace material, which is waterproof, acid-resistant, and corrosion-resistant.
The dark gray in the sky grew thicker, and a series of unsettling signals drove the animals in the forest into a frenzy.
With a bang.
A wild rabbit bumped into a piece of wood. Lu Wuyai walked over, picked it up, and waited.
This happened several times over the next hour.
Meow!
A low meow echoed from the forest. Lu Wuyai looked and saw several leopards. Their massive bodies emerged from the forest and gazed at the humans near the cave.
Lu Wuyai stood naturally in front of the woman, and soon they were surrounded by leopards.
The tense atmosphere made Su Xi and the others hold their breath. After speaking with Lu Wuyai, they opened the cellar and immediately entered.
Lu Wuyai was the last person to enter the tomb. He looked at the leopard and frowned.
"What's wrong?" Su Xi asked.
Lu Wuyai thought for a moment: "Don't you think these leopards also want to enter the cave?"
His words made everyone else's eyes widen, thinking that Lu Wuyai was joking.
"Don't go out today, stay in the cave." After Lu Wuyai finished speaking, he checked every corner of the cave again to make sure nothing was missing. Then he went back into the cave and observed the outside situation through the periscope.
At this moment, the sky seemed darker than before. Even though it was almost noon, the outside world was already barely visible.
Turning his gaze away, Lu Wuyai sealed the entrance again and went to the basement once more. He pressed himself against the iron door, listening to the noise outside.
Soon, he heard the sound of the leopard scratching the ground.
“These leopards really want to dig a hole here.” Lu Wuyai was stunned, and at the same time explained something: the changes in the sky outside could cause a huge wave.
Now, with danger looming, even these leopards are forced to dig underground in search of a chance to survive.
Soon, a group of people gathered inside the cave, because the cheetah had dug faster than they had expected. In just half an hour, a fist-sized gap had been dug into the lower part of the cave entrance, visible even to the cheetah, which was now half its original size.
Gan Lu Wuyai took a breath, feeling a sharp pain in his teeth. He picked up a stick and swatted away the cheetah that emerged from the gap.
A gasp came from outside the door, and then an unusual silence fell.
Soon, Lu Wuyai quietly opened the door and peered through the crack at the outside world. He discovered that the cheetahs that had been surrounding the entrance to the tomb had completely disappeared.
But soon, Lu Wuyai's expression changed. He sniffed; a strong smell of smoke filled the air.
"Is something on fire?" Lu Wuyai glanced at the outside world but didn't leave the tomb. Instead, he placed the helicopter at the door, closed the door, and controlled the drone in the basement to fly into the sky.
Soon, the surrounding scenery gradually became clearer, but the visibility was very low, and the light in the sky was still very dim.
There was no fire, which meant there was no fire on the deserted island, but the smell of smoke was getting stronger and stronger, spreading rapidly from the cracks in the cave entrance.
Finally, Lu Wuyai completely sealed the gaps in the cave entrance from the outside with soil and stones.
The sky was overcast, looking like dusk, but it was actually only noon.
Lu Wuyai stood outside the cave, covering his mouth and nose with his clothes. The smell of gunpowder in the air grew stronger, making him mistakenly believe that the entire forest was on fire.
The gap outside the cave entrance had been completely sealed. Lu Wuyai, shovel in hand, walked towards the rocky hill.
On the way, Lu Wuyai found that the forest had fallen into silence again. There were no insects or birds, but if you listened carefully, you could still hear some small animals hiding.
For example, some hares, a group of striped-skinned wild boars. There are signs of hiding everywhere in the forest.
