"Collect more charcoal; we can use it tonight."
So the four women went together. When they walked into the stream and saw the body that hadn't been dealt with the night before, they felt nauseous again.
Seven survivors were torn to pieces by wolves. The image still haunts him.
Lu Wuyai held his breath, lowered his head, and threw his body parts into the forest opposite.
Suddenly, Su Xi asked, "Can you eat human flesh?"
Lu Wuyai was taken aback and immediately cursed, "If you want to eat it, I'll pick it up for you."
"Su Xi, stop being disgusting," Gu Yuxin said unhappily.
Su Xi smiled slightly, but his seemingly casual remark sent a chill down the spines of everyone present.
In the future, on a deserted island, you will no longer need to eat human flesh to survive.
After cleaning up the body and throwing the bloodstained stones into the stream, the scene looked much cleaner.
Afterwards, everyone tidied up briefly and began their busy day.
The seawater from last night needs to be evaporated and extracted, and the fish need to be soaked in water again to prevent them from rotting. Most importantly, the stream has been discovered, and there will be even more troublesome things to come.
In addition, wolves could threaten their survival at any time.
As the seawater evaporated, Lu Wuyai stared blankly at the mountain that had formed the stone mountain.
Yu Yuxia patted him and asked him what was wrong.
Lu Wuyai said, "It's not safe here. Let's find a backup location first."
“The idea is good, but where should we go?” Su Xi asked.
Lu Jian pointed to the mountain: "There's a cliff there with a great view. Dong Bingling almost fell there last time."
Gu Yuxin, who was standing nearby, immediately nodded. What happened back then still makes me feel lingering fear, but I still hid to prevent wild wolves from appearing.
Su Xi still suggested, "Observe for a few days, and then discuss whether it's appropriate."
Everyone nodded, and taking advantage of the midday heat, they went to the cliff together.
Unlike last time, this time, Lu Wuyai began to observe carefully before climbing to the summit. There was animal droppings on the hillside and snake nests at the foot of the mountain. No matter how you looked at it, it wasn't safe.
Dong Bingling said in a low voice, "Otherwise, it's better not to live here."
"Don't be afraid, the more dangerous the place, the safer it is." Ye Meng had high hopes for this place.
In the end, everyone returned to the stone sphere, unable to reach a conclusion.
However, the view from the cliff is indeed expansive. Using binoculars, you can clearly see the entire area on both sides of the stream.
After resting for two hours and getting through the hottest part of the day, Lu Wuyai prepared to go to the forest east of Shiqiu.
Now that we have found the stream, we must also have a clear understanding of the surrounding terrain.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Wuyai left Shishan with Song Xiaoyou, carrying two cages woven from tree bark.
On the way, dappled sunlight shone on him, and Lu Wuyai was sweating profusely. On the other hand, Song Xiaoyou's face was at most a little red, and he didn't sweat at all.
"Drink, drink, have some more water."
Song Xiaoyi stutters when she's nervous, and Lu Wuyai has gradually gotten used to it.
Since the stream was established, Lu Wuyai has been drinking water like an ox. However, due to the depletion of coconut shells, they are unable to drink water most of the time, and sometimes they worry that drinking the stream water will make them sick.
“Let’s go take a look,” Lu Wuyai said, pointing to a group of dwarves in a forest.
There were rows of short trees, not very tall, but enough to make the forest look strange.
Song Xiaoyou glanced at it and drew a line in his notebook beforehand. He also drew a simple large tree nearby and wrote "Small Grove" on it.
She was drawing a map of a deserted island. No one had asked her to do it. She just felt it was important.
It's about an hour's walk from here on the hill. The distance isn't far, but it's a bit off-center, so it's still hard to find.
After a while, Song Xiaoyou stopped and asked in confusion, "Yes, did you hear anything?"
Lu Wuyai listened attentively for a while, shook his head, and was about to say no when a slight collision sound suddenly reached his ears.
"Where did it come from?"
"No, I don't know."
"Then, listen as you walk."
The sound of the collision grew clearer and clearer. Soon, Lu Wuyai saw a person with blood-stained hands emerge from the forest, holding a stone and smashing it onto the corpse on the ground.
"Ah!" Song Xiaoyou couldn't help but scream, while Lu Wuyai trembled all over, knowing that something bad had happened.
Who is it?
The murderer opposite him raised his head, glanced around quickly, and saw Lu Wuyai and Song Xiaoyou in the forest. His dark eyes flashed with a clear killing intent.
"We didn't see it."
Lu Wuyai quickly explained that he wasn't worried about himself, but rather about what would happen to Song Xiaoyou if a fight really broke out.
However, the other party showed no intention of taking any action. After giving Lu Wuyai a cold glance, he bent down, picked up a bag of food from the ground, and then dragged the corpse away.
Seeing this, Lu Wuyai licked his lips. He could understand the killing. At most, it was for food, but after killing people, he dragged the corpses together. What was he doing?
Puzzlingly, Lu Wuyai and Song Xiaoyou looked at each other, recalling Ye Meng's conversation about cannibals that morning.
"That's impossible."
Lu Wuyai was exceptionally intelligent. He felt that no matter how hungry he was, he would never be able to eat human flesh.
Moreover, the island is so big that even if you can't find meat, you can still find fruit. With a little effort, you can catch a fish in the sea every day, and you can catch one every three or four days.
Purely out of curiosity, Lu Wuyai and Song Xiaoyou quietly followed the man.
The other person did not stop along the way, clearly unaware that someone was following him.
An hour later, around 5 p.m., Lu Wuyai noticed that the other party had stopped and was searching for something in the surrounding bushes.
Upon closer inspection, he discovered they were small white flowers. The other person crushed them into juice and sprinkled it evenly on the corpse.
Immediately afterwards, the other party threw the body on the damp ground and then turned around to hide it.
After a while, accompanied by a familiar howling sound, two gray wolves came out.
Upon seeing the corpses, he naturally indulged in a feast, but a few minutes later, Lu Wuyai's eyes widened as he noticed that the two wolves staggered and finally collapsed to the ground.
Lu Wuyai originally thought the murderer would appear immediately, but after waiting for a few minutes, the other party's voice floated up in the forest.
"Who are you."
The sound that echoed through the forest made Lu Wuyai and Song Xiaoyou tremble.
"Have you been discovered?"
Looking at the two motionless wolves on the ground, Lu Wuyai took a breath and did not stand up immediately.
He always felt that the other party might be bluffing and hadn't noticed them.
Here, Song Xiaoyou gripped the harpoon tightly, her feet already on the ground, her pretty face looking ready for battle at any moment.
After weighing the situation in his mind and waiting a few more minutes, Lu Wuyai suddenly felt a dark shadow land on his head and instinctively rolled around.
when.
A crisp sound sent chills down Lu Wuyai's spine. He immediately looked up and saw that the person had been holding an iron bar, which was hitting Song Xiaoyou's harpoon.
If Song Xiaoyou hadn't acted quickly, he would have been beaten to death long ago.
Unfortunately, the difference in strength between men and women directly overturned Song Xiaoyou. The harpoon spun rapidly in mid-air before finally sticking to the ground with a buzzing sound, and was quickly picked up by Lu Wuyai.
"Don't come any closer." Lu Wuyai took a step back, helped Song Xiaoyou up, and asked if she was injured.
But the other person was wary: "Don't move. Who are you, and why are you following me?"
At this moment, Lu Wuyai noticed that his opponent's leg was covered in blood and flesh, clearly injured and unable to move, but the long staff in his hand was still a genuine weapon.
Just now, he stabbed two unconscious wolves to death with a single, swift and precise strike.
“We mean no harm. Let’s leave now. You can do whatever you want.” Lu Wuyai didn’t want any unexpected events to happen. The other party stopped in their tracks upon hearing this and showed no intention of being aggressive.
Just as Lu Wuyai was about to pull Song Xiaoyou away, a hint of surprise flashed in the latter's calm eyes: "You, you, you're from the rescue team."
Lu Wuyai was stunned for a moment, then looked at the other person carefully and found that the person was wearing a familiar rescue team uniform around their waist.
The man was also wearing this blue uniform when the body of a rescue worker was last found on the beach.
The other party was clearly surprised, but quickly nodded.
Lu Wuyai asked suspiciously, "You must be from the rescue team, so why did you kill someone just now?"
The other person quickly said, "You must be survivors. That person just attacked me. I had no choice but to kill him."
Lu Wuyai remained noncommittal, but Song Xiaoyou asked from the side, "Are you alone?"
"What about the others?"
"Can we go home?"
For a moment, the atmosphere in the bushes became very quiet.
After a long pause, the man explained, "We encountered a storm during the rescue operation, and the accident happened when we landed on the island. So far, I haven't seen anyone else."
"What's your name?" Lu Wuyai suddenly asked.
"I," this man, clearly from the Loess Plateau, hesitated for a moment before saying, "My name is Qin Feiming."
"Do you know someone named Ma Fei?" Lu Wuyai glared at him. Ma Fei was the name of the rescue team member he had found on the beach.
Qin Feiming glanced at him and shook his head.
"You don't know." Lu Wuyai frowned, then secretly tugged at Song Xiaoyou's clothes.
“Ma Fei is also a member of the rescue team. Where did you meet him?” Qin Feiming asked excitedly.
“You don’t know why you’re excited.” Lu Wuyai immediately became alert.
Qin Feiming quickly explained, "Tell me first if you are a survivor from ZL327."
“zl327.” Lu Wuyai was completely confused. What did this mean?
“It’s the flight we took,” Song Xiaoyou reminded him.
Lu Wuyai suddenly realized what was happening. Qin Fei, who was standing beside him, clearly said, "This accident is huge. The country has deployed a large number of rescue teams, and international rescue organizations have also joined in. I don't know this Ma Fei you're talking about. Is there a problem?"
Although the other party's explanation made sense, Lu Wuyai was still full of apprehension about Ma Fei's death.
The key point is that he is the only one who knows about Ma Fei's death.
"Since you're on the rescue team, do you have any way to contact the outside world?" Song Xiao didn't stutter, and explained from beginning to end.
Qin Feiming shook his head, saying that he was powerless to help.
"All the equipment is on the plane. I hope I can survive." Qin Feiming said helplessly.
"How long did it take you to land on the island?" Lu Wuyai asked.
"About half a month."
Lu Wuyai frowned. This didn't match the time he discovered Ma Fei's body. If the other party was telling the truth, Qin Feiming certainly had reason not to recognize Ma Fei.
"There are only two of you," Qin Feiming suddenly said.
Lu Wuyai's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately said, "Of course not."
"Then I'll go with you," Qin Feiming pointed to his legs and the two dead wolves not far away.
“Aren’t you afraid I’ll kill you, just like that survivor did to you?” Lu Wuyai raised an eyebrow.
“I’m not afraid. I don’t think you are bad people. I haven’t really met many survivors yet.”
Qin Feiming's hands hung down, and his eyes looked particularly bright.
Lu Wuyai and Song Xiaoyou exchanged a glance, then looked at the dead wolf not far away. Although they were still worried about Qin Feiming, they had to admit that he was indeed quite capable.
"Our rescue team has been involved in the accident for some time now, and we believe that others are also conducting search and rescue operations in this area."
"I believe we can notify them as soon as possible."
Qin Feiming's words touched Lu Wuyai's heart.
“Even if this person joins us, as long as he’s under our noses, we’re not afraid of what he might do.” Lu Wuyai thought for a moment and quickly made a decision.
Half an hour later, Qin Feiming and Lu Wuyai each dragged a wolf through the forest, with Song Xiaoyou following behind with a harpoon.
On the way, Lu Wuyai specifically mentioned the incident that had left the wolf dumbfounded.
"Do you think I'd tell you?" Qin Feiming said coldly.
Lu Wuyai touched his nose, thinking to himself, "Nobody's a fool." He was wary of Qin Feiming, and Qin Feiming was wary of him.
Before they knew it, the three of them finally arrived at the rocky hill before nightfall. Yu Mengru had just lit a fire, and Ye Meng and Dong Bingling were grilling fish, filling the air with a delicious aroma.
Qin Feiming stood there stunned for a while, a hint of surprise flashing across his brow.
As for the others, they all glanced at Qin Feiming, unable to understand why Lu Wuyai and the others had brought back a living person after leaving.
Lu Wuyai spoke quickly, and everyone immediately became curious about Qin Feiming's identity, rekindling their hope of leaving the deserted island.
"How long will it take before we can leave?" Yu Yuxia pursed her lips and glanced at Lu Wuyai. For some reason, she felt a strange sense of longing.
“The devil knows.” Lu Wuyai raised his head, glanced at Qin Feiming, and then said to Yu Yuxin, “If you have nothing else to do, keep an eye on Qin Feiming.”
"What's wrong."
"It's nothing, but I think he might have some problems."
"What's wrong with him?" Gu Yuxin asked.
Lu Wuyai was also unsure: "I don't know for now. In any case, it's necessary to tell them privately to be careful... to be wary of others."
Yu Mengru nodded, glancing at Lu Wuyai with a puzzled look, thinking that the other party was very cautious in his actions.
Later, when he heard that there was a stream behind the rocky mountain, Qin Feiming could hardly believe it.
There really is water.
Gu Yuxin pinched her nose and said with disgust, "Yes. Go wash up. You smell so bad."
Qin Feiming immediately ran out. When he saw the clear stream, his eyes widened.
Soon, Lu Wuyai dragged the two wolves downstream, intending to use a dagger to cut off their skins, but he couldn't bring himself to do it after trying for a long time.
On the other hand, Qin Feiming looked at the dagger in Lu Wuyai's hand and asked, "How did you come to have such a dagger?"
Lu Wuyai's heart skipped a beat. He then remembered that the dagger had been taken from Ma Fei and was likely a standard tool used by the rescue team. But he quickly explained that he had found it on the beach.
Qin Feiming didn't ask him any more questions. Instead, he took out a similar-looking dagger from his pocket and showed Lu Wuyai how to cut the wolf's fur.
The two men, a student and a teacher, finally dissected the wolf's carcass as darkness fell, quickly cleaned it, put it in a basket, and took it away.
Soon, the sky was completely dark, and two men and four women sat around the fireplace. At first, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was particularly strange.
Gu Yuxin kept eating the fish, savoring the original flavor of the sea.
"If possible, I'll rest first." Su Xi wiped her mouth, brushed her teeth with charcoal, walked to the life bag next to her, and went straight inside.
Song Xiaoyou and Yu Yuxia also yawned. They were both very worried about Shi Qiu's safety that day.
“Then it will just be the two of us keeping watch tonight,” Lu Wuyai said.
Qin Feiming nodded, chose a spot not far from the fire, and lay down, his eyes scanning back and forth in the darkness.
Lu Wuyai took a sleeping bag, walked to the highest point of the rocky mountain, and found a relatively flat platform to lie down on.
From here, he could see the situation on both sides of the rocky mountain, and he could also see what Qin Feiming was doing.
Everyone was somewhat wary of this person who claimed to be a rescue team member. Lu Wuyai spent the whole day wondering who had killed Ma Fei.
"Because I was afraid, I didn't study these clues carefully." Lu Wuyai shook his head, secretly thinking that he was ultimately just an ordinary person.
Around midnight, he felt drowsy. Lu Wuyai dozed off every now and then, and before he knew it, it was dawn.
At six o'clock, the orange sunlight began to appear on the horizon, insects chirped and birds sang, and all things came back to life.
Early in the morning, Dong Bingling complained of a stomachache and dragged Gu Yuxin to the toilet several times until she was exhausted.
"Did you eat something bad?" Su Xi frowned.
Gu Yuxin looked dejected: "What else can we eat? Doesn't everyone eat the same things?"
Indeed, there isn't much food on the deserted island, but we haven't had any problems with what we've eaten these past few days.
"Qin Feiming, aren't you from the rescue team?" Gu Yuxin looked at Qin Feiming. "Come and check on her. If you pull her down, she'll get dehydrated."
Dong Bingling looks really unwell. She's being very willful and behaving very well right now.
Qin Feiming nodded, glanced at the vegetables in the basket, thought for a moment, and then said, "Maybe."
