“Two layers of animal skin are very dangerous.” Su Xi was filled with worry.
She knew Lu Wuyai was doing this for her own good, so he draped four complete animal skin cloaks over her.
As for Song Xiaoyou, since she was a woman he had never even touched, there were some things that needed to be protected, so Lu Wuyai gave her the snake-scale armor to wear.
Before going into the water this time, Lu Wuyai pulled the rope back and found that it was still too tight.
Almost simultaneously, the women guarding the semi-enclosed space also received the news and became excited.
However, in their excitement, Lu Wuyai and the others forgot to tell Lu Wuyai about Su Xi and Gu Yuxin.
Ten minutes later, the three people dived into the water and began to approach the black hole.
Although the animal skin cloaks gave no warning, Lu Wuyai's sixth sense told him that this place was extremely dangerous, and it would be difficult to survive safely while wearing two animal skin cloaks.
Seeing that Song Xiaoyou had already entered the black hole, Lu Wuyai hurriedly took off his animal skin cloak, wrapped it around Su Xi, and pushed her from behind.
And so, Lu Wuyai chose to stay for the time being, letting Su Xi and Song Xiaoyou leave first.
The black hole remains underwater, unchanged.
A few minutes later, Lu Wuyai could no longer hold back. He quickly surfaced, soaking wet, and landed on the riverbank to rest.
"They've all gone back." Lu Wuyai sighed. "I'll just wait and see."
This world is actually quite beautiful. If it weren't for the radiation here, Lu Wuyai would have even had other people move here.
But with radiation, who knows what might happen?
Perhaps one night you'll wake up to find you have an extra finger, or your whole body will be covered in hair, or even a man will turn into a woman...
The riverbed was quiet, and Lu Wuyai remained motionless for quite some time.
He didn't know how much time had passed when the sound of bubbles came from the bottom of the riverbed, which made Lu Wuyai, who was almost asleep, start to feel excited.
As a result, he saw a woman dressed in snakeskin emerge from the water. It was Yu Li.
"I'm leaving."
"How did you get here?" Lu Wuyai was taken aback. He hadn't expected it to be Su Xi.
Youli glared at him angrily and threw another snake-scale garment at him.
“After you came in, Gu Yuxin and I arrived. This dress also belongs to Gu Yuxin.”
Su Xi continued to explain, "We just ran into Su Xi and the others, and we almost got into a fight."
The radiation tunnel was pitch black, no wonder they were engaged in a fierce battle.
Fortunately, Gu Yuxin reacted quickly and pulled Su Xi away from the battlefield. Finally, relying on this clue, they were able to confirm their identities.
That's why Su Xi and Gu Yuxin learned about Lu Wuyai's situation.
"Hurry up and get dressed, let's leave quickly," Su Xi said.
Lu Wuyai nodded; this true journey of meditation was finally coming to an end.
After putting on their clothes, Su Xi and Lu Wuyai immediately jumped into the water and swam toward the black hole.
As his body sank, Lu Wuyai could feel the snake scales getting hotter. He thought to himself, "This thing seems to have a limited shelf life; it's impossible for it to maintain its effects for a long time."
Soon, in a familiar environment, Lu Wuyai looked around at the darkness and saw a warm body beside him.
Yu Li: "Let's go."
Lu Wuyai: "Has the others left?"
Su Xi: "We're out, everything's alright, let's go quickly."
So the two of them touched the tight rope and gradually walked faster.
He didn't know how much time had passed, but at some point, Lu Wuyai felt his pupils shrink slightly before returning to normal.
"We've arrived." Looking at the familiar surroundings, this was still the world on the drifting island below.
At this moment, Lu Wuyai and Lao Wu were gathered around Su Xi and Song Xiaoyou, looking very excited.
Lu Wuyai stood to the side, touched his nose, and felt that he was superfluous.
But soon, the women all looked at Lu Wuyai, their eyes shining brightly.
"Rest here for half an hour." Lu Wuyai clapped his hands, turned around, and walked towards the distant Black Forest.
In that dark forest, there lived a strange, large black snake. How could we let such a creature live through the New Year if we didn't kill it?
Seeing Lu Wuyai's actions, many women understood that he wanted to kill the giant black snake.
Song Xiaoyou stopped him and said, "You can't kill it."
"What's wrong?" Lu Wuyai asked with a suspicious look.
"It would be more useful to us if we kept it."
"What's the use?" Everyone was curious.
“There is a world of meditation that we can move around in.”
Lu Wuyai frowned and looked at Song Xiaoyou with a gaze full of deep doubt.
"But you didn't realize before that the world is full of radiation, and people living there may only live to be eighty years old even if they live a hundred years."
Song Xiaoyou nodded, but said, "But the lifespan I mentioned is different from the current time."
At this moment, Lu Wuyai and the others were completely dumbfounded. Only Su Xi could understand a little bit of what they were saying.
"Time is up."
"Time in the world of meditation is completely different from time on our blue planet."
At that moment, everyone understood.
One day on Earth is equivalent to three days in the Meditation World.
Lu Wuyai finally figured it out; he also realized that during his days on Earth, there were 24 hours in a day. This feeling was very strange.
"So, it's not a problem for us," Song Xiaoyou said with a smile. She only understood the reason after she returned.
"But wouldn't prolonged exposure to radiation also cause mutations?" Lu Wuyai was still worried.
"This requires specialized testing of the amount of radiation in the air."
“However, I don’t think it’s a big problem,” Song Xiaoyou continued. “We’ve been to the meditation world many times, and most of the creatures we’ve seen haven’t mutated.”
"I hope so," Lu Wuyai said. He also felt that this world was very suitable for human habitation, but if the radiation problem was not solved, nothing could be guaranteed to be safe.
And so, Lu Wuyai temporarily abandoned his pursuit of the giant snake. Its scales were the key to entering and exiting that space.
Half an hour later, everyone left the underground space. Back in the outside world, they breathed a sigh of relief as they gazed at the long-awaited sunlight.
After sealing off the entrance, the group returned to Sunshine Island and re-entered the basement.
Everything seemed to have returned to calm. The extreme cold outside had long since subsided, but the sea was still frozen over.
"It's almost May, and it's still so cold." Su Xi squatted on the cliff, looking at the red icebreaker, a little angry.
I don't know when this weather will end.
Lu Wuyai returned from the beach, carrying several buckets of fuel. They had been back for two weeks.
But the people in the basement haven't been idle at all in the past two weeks.
The extreme cold that lasted for half a year made everyone realize that living conditions would only become more and more difficult in the future.
Giant monsters have also appeared, and the situation on several continents may be even more severe.
"All the kerosene on the ship is here." Lu Wuyai picked up the last barrel, which contained the first batch of kerosene produced.
During this period, the laboratory overcame the technical difficulties of kerosene, and the latest kerosene currently being produced is version 7.0.
This kerosene is terrifying. A single drop of kerosene produces several times the energy of version 3.0 kerosene.
Therefore, Lu Wuyai suddenly had an idea. He took a bottle of kerosene version 7.0 and went to the radiation tunnel himself. It turned out that in the unseen world, kerosene version 7.0 could actually produce a faint light. A flame.
Although visibility was very low, the firelight was indeed visible to the naked eye.
So during this period, everyone focused on producing kerosene.
Fortunately, the amount of black stone used to cultivate thorns is very small. Even with large-scale planting, not much black stone will be lost.
Even so, making version 7.0 of kerosene was still very difficult.
In the valley, Su Xi carried the bucket that Lu Wuyai had given her to the basement, and then followed Lu Wuyai down the cliff toward the drifting island.
Although the consumption of blackstone is relatively small, it cannot stop the speed of thorn planting, so people still dig out blackstone mountains every day to maintain reserves.
Just then, a group of people had gathered at Black Rock Mountain, making a loud banging sound. Lu Wuyai could hear it even from a distance. After all, his ears were very good and he could pick up a lot of sounds.
"Lu Wuyai, what are your plans next?"
“That’s cool, let’s just take it one day at a time,” Mr. Lu Wuyai said.
As a result, Su Xi pouted and said unhappily, "You're lying. I clearly heard you and Su Xi discussing the plan yesterday."
Lu Wuyai rolled his eyes, thinking to himself, "You heard what I said, so why are you asking me?"
But then I thought about it, maybe Su Xi didn't hear anything, but now she's about to explode here.
"Nothing else, just practice hard." Lu Wuyai urged Su Xi to practice diligently from now on. They weren't relaxing at all.
Su Xi snorted, quickened her pace, overtook Lu Wuyai, and walked alone towards Black Rock Mountain.
“That bitch.” Lu Wuyai shook his head, but thinking about what they had discussed in the lab yesterday, his expression gradually became serious.
In recent years, the extreme weather they have faced has become increasingly severe and prolonged, which has been catastrophic for any survivor.
The encounter two weeks ago gave Lu Wuyai and the others another hope: the world of meditation.
Over the past few days, whenever he had a spare moment, Lu Wuyuan had been in the lab discussing the feasibility of immigration with several professors, but he was still unable to quantify or describe the environment there.
Therefore, several professors decided to take these instruments and go there in person to see for themselves. They might gain a lot.
However, given the professors' physical condition, Lu Wuyai still hoped they could undergo several more modifications. After all, in that world, the power of living beings far surpassed that of Earth. Perhaps even an ordinary pheasant could unleash energy comparable to a hunting dog. This power was fundamentally different from the power gained through meditation when they entered that world before.
Wu Wei and others expressed their understanding and said they have been using their spare time to meditate and improve their skills.
As for the so-called radiation, Wu Wei has her own thoughts.
“Take Lu Wuyai as an example, his physical condition is really good.”
"If he enters or leaves the meditative world, radiation will have no effect on him at all. So in the end, as long as he is powerful, radiation is nothing but a paper tiger."
However, Lu Wuyai has undergone more than 80 transformations so far, and his stamina is terrifying.
Wu Wei's statement was affirmed by most people. One's own abilities are the foundation for success. Therefore, during this period, most people would enter the world of meditation every night to try their luck.
At this very moment, on Black Rock Mountain, many people are digging for stones, creating a lively and bustling scene, almost as if they are fighting.
Lu Wuyai also walked up from the foot of the mountain. He stepped on a large rock, fell to the ground, and shattered into pieces instantly.
Today, Black Stone is no different from the ordinary tofu in Lu Wuyai's hands. Among everyone, he is the most efficient.
Blackstone Mountain now only has one-third of its original volume remaining, but a much larger volume lies buried deep underground. Previously, this was just the tip of the iceberg.
The black stone remains unexplained to this day. Wu Wei and others' understanding of this stone is limited to its use as a highly efficient natural fertilizer.
In the nearby forest, several creatures without physical bodies were approaching. They lay on all fours, occasionally standing upright on their legs. Compared to other creatures, they were truly unique.
Xiao Dong pulled the trigger, and the Terminator was immediately fired from the barrel.
Unfortunately, this speed is not offensive to people without a physical body. Their sixth sense is very strong, and they can react to danger in time.
Of course, Xiao Dong also knew this; firing the gun was just a deterrent.
Beside him stood Lin Xiaoxiao, her beautiful figure appreciating the burgeoning life nearby.
Strangely enough, while the sea was still frozen, tender shoots had already sprouted in the forest, and many places had grown a large number of new branches. This phenomenon usually begins when the ice and snow recede.
"It seems even the plants are starting to adapt to this change," Lu Wuyai thought to himself.
Meanwhile, on a small hill less than 100 meters from Black Stone Mountain, Song Xiaoyou and Gu Yuxin were releasing a weather balloon to analyze certain data in the air.
Speaking of Gu Yuxin, it's about time she had a baby.
The arrival of a new life always brings good luck to those around them.
At five o'clock, the sun was setting, and everyone loaded the packed black stones into cars and drove towards Sunshine Island.
At 5:30, the black stone was thrown into a hollowed-out mountain. Looking down from there, the entire black area was a stone quarry, which was Lu Wuyai's precious treasure.
Even if you immigrate to the world of meditation in the future, you should take all these things with you.
As darkness fell, everyone safely returned to the basement, feeling the warmth around them, and the three puppies and wolfhounds playing nearby. A smile graced everyone's face.
"Wash your hands before eating."
"Speed, speed."
"What are we eating tonight? My mom is starving."
Su Xi's casual shout brought a different atmosphere to the otherwise quiet second basement level.
Soon, after everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, the restaurant was separated by a wooden screen, and the woman officially began to meditate.
As the women got into character one by one, the second basement level seemed to quiet down again.
Lu Wuyai stood up, waved towards the corner, and the three little ones immediately walked over silently, following their father all the way to the laboratory.
“Don’t worry about the transition,” Wu Wei said with a smile, then took Rou Rou’s hand and led the three children into a simple classroom.
Soon, Lu Wuyai heard the sound of reading aloud, and his thoughts seemed to drift back to the time when he was reading.
But soon, he turned to the other side, which led to the underground warehouse.
When the door opened, Professor Zhang Qing was already waiting. The place was originally filled with daily necessities, but now one corner had been completely cleared out, and the surrounding area was covered with a layer of something like tin foil, which glittered and glowed.
Seeing Lu Wuyai come down, Yuxin turned around, took out a laser from the platform, and also took out the liquid energy she had prepared beforehand.
This time, however, the amount of liquid energy was quite alarming, far exceeding the amount produced in a single conversion.
“Okay,” Yuxin asked. “These liquids are the result of the full collection by the five light collectors during this period. All the energy obtained from the meditative world is here.”
"It will deform at least twice. If the calculations are correct, it may be able to transform three times."
Upon hearing this, Lu Wuyai nodded, his eyes lighting up. He was very much looking forward to this change.
In total, he had undergone bone marrow washing and bone cutting 87 times.
After his last transformation, he always felt a sense of unfulfilled desire, and recently this feeling has become increasingly stronger.
"Will this transformation bring about some kind of change?" As soon as Lu Wuyai asked, Yuxin learned about the other party's physical condition.
After a moment of contemplation, Zhang Qingcai said, "I can't say for sure, after all, you've come ahead of all of us. Even Gu Yuxin only underwent 60 modifications."
Among everyone, Lu Wuyai's strength is beyond doubt, and the second is Gu Yuxin.
As her strength increased, even Gu Yuxin found herself in a similar situation to Lu Wuyai: entering a meditative world and then emerging took a considerable amount of time.
“You need to be careful. You’re aware of the aftereffects of this change.” Yuxin patted Lu Wuyai on the shoulder, telling him to do his best.
Because every transformation is a dual struggle between the body and the spirit, only Lu Wuyai can deeply understand this change.
Soon, Yuxin's body was hidden in the darkness, trying her best not to disturb Lu Wuyai's transformation.
There were iron chains on the ground, but this time, Lu Wuyai couldn't use them because the strength of these chains was simply insufficient to restrain his power.
Moreover, Lu Wuyai could withstand the physical challenges, but the most troublesome thing was the mental torment.
Ten minutes later, Lu Wuyai collapsed to the ground, seemingly asleep.
The next second, Yuxin emerged from the darkness, holding a needle in her hand, and injected it into Lu Wuyai's arm.
I hope you can get through this.
The transformation wasn't just physical. At this moment, Lu Wuyai's spirit was being torn to pieces. Only by emerging alive from hell could he truly be changed.
This night is destined to be long.
In the darkness, Lu Wuyai fell countless times. The feeling of being in the abyss was indescribable.
This is a darkness more hopeless than walking through a radiation tunnel.
Feeling his heart gradually being swallowed by nothingness, Lu Wuyai couldn't help but feel a sense of panic. He had experienced this feeling before during his previous transformations.
