Soon, the three entered the reception cabin and found it completely charred, blackened. Several corpses lay on the ground, charred into human shapes.
Lu Wuyai didn't venture deeper because he heard gunshots and chaotic footsteps coming from the depths of the ship's hold. Clearly, a fight was taking place inside.
"However, this cabin is really well-sealed." Lu Wuyai closed the door, and the gunshots coming from inside immediately diminished considerably. If it were anyone else, they wouldn't have been able to hear them at all.
When he returned to the cockpit, Lu Wuyai glanced around and prepared to leave. The place had also been "ravaged" by the fire; corpses were everywhere, and everything was charred.
“Let’s go,” Lu Wuyai said. He wanted to open the wooden crate and see what they needed in the containers on the deck.
However, Song Xiaoyou suddenly asked, "Did the body move?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Wuyai said, "Don't talk nonsense. He's been burned like this, do you think he still has any signs of life?"
The corpse Yu Li mentioned was a charcoal-covered body lying on the ground, and Lu Wuyai could smell the roasted meat even through the air.
“Okay, maybe I saw it wrong.” Yuri stuck out her tongue.
But in the next second, Lu Wuyai suddenly walked up to Song Xiaoyou, grabbed her, and pulled her out of the cockpit with great force.
Before Yuri could react, she turned around and saw a dark figure appear opposite Lu Wuyai.
She glanced at the ground subconsciously, and suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, her whole body breaking out in goosebumps.
The body that was lying on the ground was gone.
“Still alive.” Yuri looked at Su Xi and saw that his eyes were filled with fear. Clearly, he had not expected this to happen now.
Lu Wuyai was still in the cockpit. He stared at the corpse in front of him, completely unable to feel the other person's heartbeat.
"Are you a human or a ghost?" Lu Wuyai took a breath, and then a sense of familiarity rose from the depths of his memory.
This kind of heartless situation seems to have happened before.
Suddenly, Lu Wuyai's eyes widened. He remembered those red-eyed humans. Their heartbeats were so faint that they couldn't even be felt.
"It is an infectious disease."
Lu Wuyai was very worried. Even though everyone in the cave had been injected with the fifth stage of plant extracts, he was still uneasy.
This is an unknown virus. Lu Wuyai and the others hadn't seen it during this time and assumed it had disappeared on the deserted island.
Now it has reappeared, and it is very likely that it was brought onto the cruise ship.
"It seems that this virus was brought from outside, and is not unique to this deserted island." Lu Wuyai quickly figured it out, drew his gun, and shot directly at his opponent's head.
The figure who had stood up was hit in the head by a bullet and suddenly fell to the ground again.
Lu Wuyai walked over and confirmed that the other person was dead. He reached out and opened his eyes. Sure enough, he noticed that the other person's eyes were red.
"Get out, these people are carrying the virus." Lu Wuyai frowned; this was not good news.
Suddenly, a question occurred to him. For such a large cruise ship, besides the helmsman's room, there should be many crew members. So where were they, and what were they doing, when the explosion occurred the day before yesterday?
"Did you see any corpses on the ground when we came out of the cabin?" Lu Wuyai asked.
Yuri and Su Xi thought for a moment and then nodded immediately. They had indeed seen many corpses on the ground before.
“Let’s go take a look,” Lu Wuyai said.
The three of them quickly arrived at the entrance of the cabin. At this moment, Lu Wuyai leaned out, pressed his ear to the entrance, and listened carefully to the sounds inside.
At one point, he heard some roaring sounds that didn't sound like they came from a normal person.
Lu Wuyai gestured for the two women to move away from the entrance and keep an eye on their surroundings.
He thought for a while and decided to go down and see what had happened on the cruise ship and what the condition of the patients with red eyes was.
However, as soon as he entered the cabin, two figures jumped out of the darkness and collided with him directly.
Lu Wuyai swayed, but wasn't knocked away. He just felt some pain at the point of impact.
On the other hand, the two of them were obviously knocked backward by Lu Wuyai.
"What's going on?" Lu Wuyai's eyes widened as he realized that the people who had bumped into him were two human survivors, not the red-eyed patient.
The other person was covering their head. Upon seeing Lu Wuyai, they breathed a sigh of relief and quickly left the cabin.
Lu Wuyai frowned and looked back at the cabin. Only then did he realize that the cabin lights had been very bright at some point. At the same time, gunfire continued.
At the exit, Su Xi and You Li were both very nervous. The two people who had rushed out just now had really startled them.
"Find a container and hide inside, then mark it." Lu Wuyai said, "Wait a moment, I'll be right there."
Su Xi and You Li exchanged a glance, nodded, and left, telling Lu Wuyai to be careful.
Following the sound of gunfire, Lu Wuyai quickly walked deeper into the ship's cabin and found the two sides engaged in combat in a passageway.
This was a corridor, and Lu Wuyai roughly guessed that this was where the crew lived.
But now, the entire corridor is almost completely soaked in blood. Just the smell of blood in the air is enough to make one feel suffocated.
Lu Wuyai let out a breath. He could already see the mountain of corpses ahead, and at the end of the corridor, someone was firing a gun, stepping on the bloodstains on the ground and retreating continuously.
A dozen minutes later, Lu Wuyai clearly saw that the group of people who kept firing were targeting patients with conjunctivitis. Their symptoms of madness were exactly the same as those of the patients he had encountered on the desert island before.
While bullets can indeed cause them some damage, as long as the bullets do not hit the head or leg joints, the opponent can still display terrifying strength.
This virus can give humans extreme physical abilities, which is really scary.
At this moment, Lu Wuyai no longer hesitated, turned around and ran towards the exit with all his might.
Soon, screams of agony echoed from behind him.
Lu Wuyai looked back and saw those crazed, red-eyed patients baring their teeth and claws, tearing the fallen humans to pieces, their intestines spilling all over the ground.
Just then, Lu Wuyai escaped from the stairwell, closed the emergency exit, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
With a bang.
Bang bang.
In the corridor, the grinning infected people kept banging on the large iron gate, making a jarring sound.
Lu Wuyai immediately went out the door. He believed that it wouldn't be long before the door would be forced open.
Lu Wuyai looked around. The exit wasn't far, but the area seemed very uneasy.
Many people rushed into the cabins, and now, more and more people are fleeing the cruise ship, their faces filled with terror. They have clearly encountered those conjunctivitis sufferers.
Soon, Lu Wuyai left the cabin, but did not close the door leading to it, because the cruise ship was damaged and there were many gaps for entering and exiting.
After leaving the cabin, Lu Wuyai quickly found the container where Su Xi and You Li were hiding.
"Lu Wuyai, are you alright?" Su Xi and You Li came out, and their expressions changed when they smelled the blood on Lu Wuyai.
Lu Wuyai lifted his foot. When he came out of the corridor, the soles of his shoes were covered in blood.
Simply, he took off his shoes and socks and walked barefoot on the ground.
“There’s a tram here, we need to figure out how to get it out,” Su Xi said.
Lu Wuyai had already seen the SUV inside the container and realized it was a large, modified vehicle, reinforced with various iron blocks. It was like a behemoth.
But how do I take it off?
The cruise ship was too high. Lu Wuyai looked at the shipping containers in front of him and felt helpless.
“Wait until high tide,” Su Xi suddenly said.
But Su Xi quickly shook her head. Although the high tide could pull the car off the cruise ship, they couldn't pull it ashore.
"Forget it." Lu Wuyai shook his head. The cruise ship was full of people suffering from conjunctivitis. The longer they stayed, the more dangerous it would be.
Soon, the three people got off the bus. Today's unexpected events brought the blind box opening to an early end.
"Let's go back first," Lu Wuyai urged.
The car was already full of things, and most of the goods were the same type as last night, such as wine and towels, which are items that need to be carefully stored.
It was already 5 a.m. when we got back to Shiqiu.
Lu Wuyai and the others watched Gu Yuxin and Gu Yuxin leave. Later, everyone finished washing up and went to bed.
......
As dusk fell, Lu Wuyai emerged from the rice paddies, the air filled with the fragrance of rice.
Behind him, Yu Mengrou and Xia Qingming also came out, dripping with sweat, holding sickles in their hands, their faces flushed, and panting heavily. It was too hot.
"Go wash up, you're going to the beach tonight," Lu Wuyai said.
Soon, the two women walked towards the cave, leaving two graceful figures on Lu Wuyai's back.
Lu Wuyai turned around, walked into the rice paddy, and took out the freshly harvested rice. There were two baskets in total. The husks hadn't been removed yet, but the rice smelled delicious.
"It feels so good to eat so much rice," Lu Wuyai said with a smile. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the rice, making it look even more golden.
Evening arrived quickly. Everyone enjoyed a delicious meal and took their equipment with them. Only nine wolfhounds remained to guard the stone mountain.
At nine o'clock, Lu Wuyai and the others finally arrived at Gu Yuxin's side.
“If you find a car today, give it to us,” Gu Yuxin said.
Lu Wuyai nodded, but he wasn't stingy. Now that they had many cars, giving one to Gu Yuxin wouldn't be a problem.
"It's refreshing," Gu Yuxin said with a smile.
“It’s an honor. I have to exchange something.” Lu Wuyai said that although Ouyang Qing only had one car, the other party had many items hidden in the dangerous peak.
Gu Yuxin smiled and nodded. For them, cars were now extremely useful.
Soon, the convoy gathered and rushed toward the two cruise ships.
The weather wasn't great tonight, but the beach near the cruise ship was still brightly lit.
The car was parked in a coconut grove. Lu Wuyai and the others did not immediately approach the cruise ship.
"Check the weapons," Lu Wuyai warned. "Be careful of those pink-eyed lunatics."
Everyone nodded, because the chaos on the beach was related to people with conjunctivitis.
Lu Wuyai took a breath; his palms were a little sweaty.
On the beach, the bright campfire was stained with blood.
At this moment, Lu Wuyai was leading the woman towards the receding tide. Along the way, they could see many corpses, but they all kept their distance.
Even so, it still cannot prevent accidents from happening.
"Lu Wuyai, be careful!" Song Xiaoyou suddenly shouted.
Lu Wuyai subconsciously looked around and suddenly noticed a corpse jump up and rush towards him.
With a bang.
Lifting his foot, Lu Wuyai used all his strength to kick his opponent away. The sound of bones breaking could even be heard in the air.
There was no joy on Lu Wuyai's face. The patient opposite him, whose eyes were red and who had been lying on the ground, stood up again, as if the pain from the fracture was insignificant to him.
With a bang.
Su Xi decisively chose to fire, a close-range shot that struck her opponent directly in the head. This ended the unexpected battle.
"Stay away from here, and don't act alone," Lu Wuyai reminded him again.
The scene on the beach was still chaotic. Lu Wuyai could see many frantic figures fleeing to the deserted island in the distance. He could imagine that this was destined to be a disaster in the near future.
But now, Lu Wuyai and the others have their attention focused on the cruise ship.
This is probably because as the tide rises and falls, the cruise ship gets closer and closer to the shore, and at the same time, the tilting angle increases.
So far, many containers from both cruise ships have fallen to the ground and are scattered all over the place.
"I'll go take a look first."
After saying that, Lu Wuyai jumped onto a shipping container. From this vantage point, he could see some survivors opening wooden crates.
There were only two or three survivors, maybe seven or eight in total. Moreover, the container was newly placed on land and hadn't been submerged by the sea. The items inside were still somewhat useful.
Soon, Lu Wuyai got off the container and began sending the women to one of the areas to find supplies.
As for him, recalling the black SUV he had encountered yesterday, he quickly focused on a shipping container.
Approaching, Lu Wuyai opened the label on the front of the box, revealing a smile and anticipation.
"They haven't even been kicked out yet." Lu Wuyai opened the container and saw the large black sedan inside, and he was slightly excited.
It's also an SUV, but this car looks different at first glance. If it weren't for its fixed shape, Lu Wuyai would even think it was a tank.
Soon, Lu Wuyai entered the container and immediately drove the "tanker truck" out.
“With this car, those two gasoline cars can be temporarily retired,” Lu Wuyai said.
From a convenience standpoint, gasoline cars are naturally more convenient, but on a desert island, gasoline is difficult to extract and is consumed too quickly.
After parking the car, Lu Wuyai noticed that Song Xiaoyou was standing on a high ground, looking around, clearly worried about the manic patient.
Lu Wuyai pulled out a sniper rifle and stood on several stacked containers.
This night was destined to be anything but peaceful.
Half an hour later, Lu Wuyai heard the arguing and looked over, only to find Su Xi and Su Xi surrounded by several men.
Lu Wuyai rushed over immediately. After several conversations, he realized that both groups had discovered the same container at the same time.
"The group of people were holding a piece of paper, probably the cargo manifest for the cruise ship. Su Xi guessed that the contents of that container must be very important."
Lu Wuyai seemed to be deep in thought, and for the time being he had no intention of confronting the other party directly, but he became interested in the contents of the box.
In the darkness, he led Song Xiaoyou closer to the container and soon discovered that the container had been opened and wooden crates were being moved out.
"What can you see clearly?" Lu Wuyai asked.
Song Xiaoyou looked at it for a while, then said, "There are several abbreviations on the wooden box. The letters they represent have many meanings, and it's impossible to determine them."
Song Xiaoyou's words made Lu Wuyai frown. He counted the people on the other side again and again, finally deciding to risk going to check. If it was something important, he couldn't give them any advantage.
Soon, Lu Wuyai climbed down from the container. Upon approaching his target, he suddenly took action, knocking down the two men outside the container.
At the same time, the commotion attracted the attention of other people nearby, who immediately rushed towards Lu Wuyai.
With sharp eyes and quick hands, Lu Wuyai rushed into the container and immediately knocked out the other two people inside.
"It's really hard not to fight." Lu Wuyai spat on the ground, listened to the commotion outside, and walked towards the deepest part of the container.
Taking advantage of the moment, Lu Wuyai opened a wooden box with his bare hands and found that it was full of weapons.
"Damn it, this is an armory!" Lu Wuyai screamed in surprise, imagining hundreds of crates filled with weapons, which left everyone feeling numb.
Soon, Lu Wuyai heard the footsteps of the survivors ahead and quickly hid, looking for an opportunity to deal with them.
The atmosphere inside the container was extremely oppressive. Lu Wuyai crouched down in a crevice between the cargo, in a position that looked like he could explode at any moment.
Judging from the footsteps, there were two people on the left and right. The steps on the left were clearer, so they should have contacted Lu Wuyai faster than the person on the right.
So, Lu Wuyai looked towards the passage on his left. As soon as his opponent appeared, he snatched the pistol from him with both hands and broke it in two.
With a snap, a crisp cracking sound immediately echoed in the narrow container.
yes.
Immediately afterward, a scream rang out. Lu Wuyai struck his opponent hard, knocking him unconscious. He shifted his body to the side to avoid an attack coming from his right.
Lu Wuyai propped himself up with one hand and lay down lightly on the wooden box. At the same time, he could see the person below moving cautiously.
Just as his opponent discovered his unconscious comrade, Lu Wuyai acted again, knocking his opponent down with lightning speed.
Afterwards, Lu Wuyai tied these people to the shipping container and only released them after they left. Of course, that's another story.
At this moment, Lu Wuyai began to call on the others to move the materials over immediately.
In addition, Lu Wuyai found a piece of paper from the survivors. He looked at it carefully and found that it was indeed a cargo manifest for the cruise ship, but it was only one of the documents.
Weapons have always been a major factor in survival on a desert island. In a sense, whoever possesses a large number of firearms holds the greatest power.
Food, medicine, and fresh water can all be obtained through coercion using firearms.
Therefore, firearms are of vital importance to everyone.
