"Hello, my name is Su Xi."
Seeing that the other person had sat up, Su Xi quickly smiled and reached out her hand.
"Hello, my name is Gu Yuxin."
The woman politely shook hands with Su Xi and said...
"Were you also a survivor who was forced into this situation?"
After Su Xi withdrew her hand, she continued to ask, unaware that Lu Wuyai had already walked towards the sea, and after taking off his shirt, he jumped into the sea with a splash.
He discovered a reef while rescuing people; there were lots of seafood there, and maybe he'd be lucky enough to find some to eat.
"Yes, you too?"
Gu Yuxin nodded in agreement, indicating that it was correct. Having been on the island for a whole day, this was truly the first time she had seen any other survivors who had been forced to teleport there besides herself.
"Yes, not just me, but Brother Lu too."
After Su Xi finished speaking, she turned her head to look behind her, and it was at this moment that she was shocked to find that Lu Wuyai had disappeared at some point and had gone nowhere.
thump!
After arriving near the reef, Lu Wuyai first surfaced to take a deep breath of fresh air, and then suddenly dived back into the sea.
Upon arriving near the reef, he immediately spotted two conches, both of which were quite large, too big to be held in one hand.
He reached out and took the two conches off the rocks, then surfaced and returned to the beach.
Upon seeing Lu Wuyai, Su Xi hurriedly ran to his side. Before she could even speak, he threw the two conch shells, each larger than a palm, onto the banana leaf in his hand.
After lifting his hands off the ground and returning to the sea, food is definitely the most important and troublesome thing for survival on this deserted island.
At low tide, there is usually much more seafood on the beach than at normal tide, so he didn't want to give up this opportunity.
Gu Yuxin came to Su Xi's side and was stunned when she saw the banana leaf in Su Xi's hand.
"You arrested all of these people?"
He glanced at the banana leaf in his hand and, feeling slightly embarrassed, said:
"It wasn't us, it was Brother Lu who got it all by himself. I was just a lackey."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuxin suddenly realized that she had not been able to find any decent food all day yesterday. After struggling to get through the first night on the island, she had wanted to collect some seafood on the beach in the early morning, but ended up chasing a crab and falling into the sea. In the end, she was swept away by the waves and fell into the two-meter-deep sea area in front of her.
Lu Wuyai, who had returned to the reef area, began to search for all the conches he could see. Three conches were embedded in the rocks. Just as he was about to reach out and grab them, an octopus suddenly swam past him.
This octopus is quite large, even enormous, with tentacles a full meter long, which speaks volumes about its size.
With his eyes gleaming, how could he possibly let go of such a top-quality seafood? He reached out and suddenly grabbed the octopus's tentacles. He originally thought the creature would run away, but to his surprise, it not only didn't run away but turned around and fought back.
All of the octopus's tentacles tightly bound him, but he didn't hesitate for a moment as he swam toward the shore.
Goodness, this is the first time he's ever met a stupid octopus that's just handed to him for free.
Seeing Lu Wuyai bring a giant octopus ashore, not only Gu Yuxin, but even Su Xi was stunned.
After getting ashore, Lu Wuyai took out the switchblade from his waist and stabbed the octopus in the head.
After a fierce battle, he finally managed to kill the octopus.
After a while, wisps of white smoke rose from the camp. Lu Wuyai and Su Xi sat around the fire, enjoying their meal. In contrast, Gu Yuxin seemed much more reserved, taking a long time to finish a grilled octopus tentacle.
"Brother Lu, can Sister Gu live with us from now on?"
Su Xi said to Lu Wuyai with some excitement.
Upon hearing this, he merely turned his head and glanced at Gu Yuxin in a very casual manner, then nodded slightly. It was good that the two girls could keep each other company. Once they were able to survive on their own, he could be free to live alone.
When Gu Yuxin saw Lu Wuyai looking at her, she only smiled slightly. Although the smile was faint, for some reason it gave Lu Wuyai a very awkward and forced feeling.
After eating, Lu Wuyai asked the two women to set up the camp, while he left the camp to search for resources for survival deep in the forest.
Not long after Lu Wuyai left, Gu Yuxin suddenly put down her work, turned to Su Xi, and said:
"Don't you feel awkward for two women to live with a man like this?"
"Awkward? Do you feel that way? I think it's alright."
Holding a banana leaf, she recalled the time when she first met Lu Wuyai.
At the time, she thought this person was nice and kind. If it weren't for him, she probably would be too hungry to even walk by now.
“Su Xi, we are both able-bodied, why should we rely on a woman? I think we can live a better life than we do now if we leave him and live together.”
Gu Yuxin wanted to leave Lu Wuyai, but she didn't dare to leave alone, so she began to encourage Su Xi.
"No, if you want to leave, then leave on your own. Brother Lu has treated me well, and I can't be ungrateful."
Upon hearing this, Su Xi hurriedly waved her hand and said that she used to have a good impression of Gu Yuxin, but now her impression of her had plummeted.
"Sister Su, the men in this world aren't as good as you think. They're all two-faced and treacherous. You can't see into someone's heart. How do you know he's not just being nice to you on purpose, waiting for you to trust him before taking advantage of you?"
Gu Yuxin was still unwilling to give up and continued speaking.
A look of disdain crossed her face. Su Xi hated gossipy people the most in her life. Brother Lu had kindly saved her, but she spoke of him like that. If she had known this would happen, she shouldn't have let Brother Lu take her in.
Just as Su Xi was filled with contempt for Gu Yuxin, a series of footsteps suddenly came from the direction of the beach on the left. She put down what she was holding and looked at the source of the sound, thinking that Brother Lu had returned.
He stood up and peeked out, only to find three women coming from the direction they were coming from.
Chapter Two: Desert Island and Jungle
After entering the jungle, Lu Wuyai headed north. He discovered that the island was quite large, and the sound of flowing water ahead startled him.
Does this island have freshwater rivers?!
He walked through the weeds and bushes to the source of the sound of flowing water, and immediately discovered a clear freshwater river.
The river flows swiftly into the underground cave ahead. It seems that this was originally an underground river, which appeared on the surface due to tectonic movement.
I lowered my head and took a sip; the river water was cool, sweet, and very refreshing.
Sha~
Suddenly, the sound of an animal crawling came from behind me, and an ominous premonition filled my body.
At that moment, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have committed an extremely serious taboo in wilderness survival.
Like humans, animals need to drink water. In the animal kingdom, many predators choose to lie in wait at water sources for their prey to arrive.
I was so excited when I saw the water source that I didn't pay attention to my surroundings. I never expected that I would fall into a trap like this.
He reached for the switchblade at his waist, and the rustling sound behind him grew closer.
Just as the rustling sound from the animal walkway was very close behind him, Lu Wuyai suddenly turned his hand, and the gaping maw of a python appeared.
Venom is sprayed from the python's venom.
He hurriedly dodged, and the venom landed in the river behind him. Luckily, he reacted in time, otherwise the venom would have gotten into his eyes.
He grabbed the snake's head from the side and slammed its mouth shut with his hand.
With his other hand, he took out a switchblade and stabbed it into the snake's head.
At the same time, the python's body tightly coiled around him. The python, which was a full three meters long, was large enough to wrap around his entire upper body.
Fortunately, he had dealt with such giant pythons before when fighting in the rainforest. He shrugged and pulled his neck back. Once such a giant python locked his neck, he would have to say goodbye to this beautiful world.
He decisively chopped off the snake's head. Although the python was now dead, its muscle memory remained, and it clung tightly to him, refusing to let go. He and the python's corpse remained locked in a stalemate for more than ten minutes before he finally won.
They returned to camp with such a rich trophy as the python; it was already noon.
Su Xi was very happy to see Lu Wuyai return. When she saw that Lu Wuyai was carrying such a huge python, her expression was one of utter surprise.
"Uncle Lu, did you kill him all by yourself?"
"Um."
He nodded slightly to indicate that he was right, and put the python in the food storage area of the camp. Only then did he realize that Gu Yuxin was not there.
Where is Gu Yuxin?
Lu Wuyai looked at Su Xi with some regret and asked.
Upon hearing Lu Wuyai ask Gu Yuxin, Su Xi's excited expression instantly turned into anger as she said:
"Don't even mention it. Three women came over just now. They're also survivors. They said they've set up a survivor camp, and there are already eight people there, all of them women. They asked if we wanted to come along. Of course, I refused. As for Gu Yuxin, pshaw, what an ingrate."
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Looking at Su Xi's appearance, Lu Wuyai was at a loss for words. If she wanted to leave, so be it. What did it have to do with the two of them?
Moreover, he is a man, and living with him is indeed somewhat inconvenient.
Do you know how to dispose of animal carcasses?
"Won't."
"Sigh, watch how I handle this and learn from it."
After saying that, Lu Wuyai took Su Xi to the beach to deal with the python's carcass.
The internal organs can be kept for use at night. The snake skin is peeled off to remove the grease, stretched out and dried. This snake skin is quite large, and it can be used to make a leather item.
"You continue weaving banana leaves, I'll go into the jungle to get some wood."
The campsite needs to be improved as soon as possible. It's summer now, and it goes without saying that there will be torrential rains on the island during the summer. If they encounter several days of torrential rain without a proper campsite, the situation is predictable.
"Um."
Su Xi nodded obediently in agreement. Now she was completely obedient to Lu Wuyai, naturally because she was convinced that she had to hold on tightly to Lu Wuyai, her powerful backer.
...
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Lu Wuyai, having acquired a simple stone axe, began selecting some relatively thick trees and started hacking them down. The current camp lacked a foundation, and it was clear that these trees were the best foundation on the deserted island.
As the sun set, Lu Wuyai finally managed to break a tree.
They found Su Xi, and together they carried the eucalyptus tree to the beach where the camp was located.
Once the tree is broken, the remaining segments become much simpler.
However, they don't have time to do that right now.
Snake meat was roasting over the fire. Some of the snake meat was to be eaten today, and the rest was to be dried for future use when food was scarce.
Soon after, the fire was filled with the aroma of roasting meat. Lu Wuyai picked up the snake meat that had been skewered together with a stick and roasted.
He took a small bite, found it tasted good, and looked up to signal to Su Xi that he could eat.
