Seemingly because Lu Wuyai was blocking the sunlight, the woman below immediately raised her head, and when she realized it was Lu Wuyai, she inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.
As it was getting late, Lu Wuyai covered the glass with a stone and returned to the cave.
In the basement, the women turned on the electronic lights and, with the help of the incandescent bulbs, continued to cultivate the herbs they had not yet finished.
After working until eight o'clock, everyone gathered in the cave to prepare dinner.
"What did you do outside today?" Su Xi asked. "Isn't it too late to come back now?"
"I went to the orchard and bought some food for the white wolf."
Under the dim light, Yu Mengrou opened the rice cooker, and the enticing aroma of rice instantly tantalized everyone's taste buds.
Moreover, Lu Wuyai walked to the container and returned carrying a bottle. Upon opening it, everyone discovered it was a bottle of moldy tofu, spicy in flavor. Just looking at its color and smelling it made their mouths water. Let's get down.
"One piece of cake for each person, and don't use your chopsticks," Lu Wuyai said.
Soon, a bowl of rice and a piece of tofu allowed everyone to taste the flavor of meat.
"It's delicious, I hope it will last until summer," Su Xi said.
The outside temperature is rising day by day. Although it is indeed cool underground, I wonder if it will still be like this when the real summer arrives.
“It’s June now, and the temperature might be even higher in July,” Yu Mengrou said, also worried.
In winter, they opened the refrigerator and found a lot of pickled foods. These would definitely spoil if the temperature got too high. And not only that, there was also some fresh meat and packaged vegetables.
In order to extend the shelf life of these foods, Lu Wuyai came up with a solution.
"How about we bury the stones?"
“Bury it with soil. It’s like digging a hole under a rocky mountain to isolate the temperature from the surface.” Jin Xilu thought for a moment and quickly understood the meaning.
Lu Wuyai nodded, but Song Xiaoyou immediately objected.
“Absolutely not.” Yu Mengrou swallowed the food in her mouth and then explained.
"Haven't you noticed? Since the medicinal herb garden was built, our living environment has been getting worse and worse."
"Look at that wall, aren't there a lot of ants?"
“Yesterday, mosquitoes started appearing frequently in the tomb, along with some insects and flies. Tell me why.”
Everyone frowned, and the first thing that came to mind was the toilet. However, as summer temperatures began to rise, Lu Wuyai had already buried the toilet and even covered it with a thick layer of cement to block the stench.
Since the toilets refused to attract insects and flies, the only place left was the herb garden.
“That’s right, it’s the herb garden.” Yu Meng said, “When we arrived, the herb garden hadn’t been paved with cement yet, and there were already a lot of insect eggs in the soil. After the temperature rose, these insect eggs began to hatch on a large scale.”
"Secondly, haven't you noticed that the cement has started to crack in some places? Especially in the corners."
Upon hearing Yu Mengrou's words, Lu Wuyai immediately grabbed a flashlight and began to search inside the cave.
The inspection revealed cracks at all four corners of the hole, and occasionally small black insects could be seen, but their species was unknown.
"Now, our heads are mostly made of stone, and even if there is some soil, it is not much."
Yu Mengrou's words made everyone realize that if the existing problems were not addressed and soil was added to the rocks rashly, the environment inside the cave would become even worse.
"Tomorrow we will begin removing the cement and reapplying it," Lu Wuyai said.
Everyone nodded. Although they were a little tired, they could ensure a safe living environment inside the cave during the height of summer.
"The most important thing is the condition of the medicinal herb garden. There are too many insect eggs in the soil. If they are not dealt with in time, the medicinal herbs will probably be ruined," Yu Mengrou said.
"What should we do? We don't have any pesticides either, so even if we did, we might not be able to use them," Su Xi asked.
To maintain the purity of plant extracts, pesticides must not be used.
For a time, everyone racked their brains trying to figure out how to deal with the eggs.
But after thinking about it, none of the methods I listed worked.
"Don't think about it for now. Apart from the herb garden, let's repave the space with cement," Lu Wuyai said.
So starting the next day, everyone except Song Xiaoyou was busy moving materials and making room for Lu Wuyai to break the original cement and repave it.
They worked like this until late June. On that day, the caves, crypts, and passageways leading to the containers were all covered with cement.
Lu Wuyai worked shirtless. Although the temperature underground was only 28 degrees Celsius, he was still sweating profusely while working, while the surface temperature reached a high of 35 degrees Celsius.
"Lu Wuyai, are you finished?" Jin Xilu came out of the cave and saw Lu Wuyai inside. Sweat dripped from his bronze skin, exuding a unique masculine aura.
Jin Xilu blushed. She hadn't expected Lu Wuyai to be shirtless, but she quickly calmed down and handed him the food she was holding.
At this point, Lu Wuyai looked at Jin Xilu, who was wearing a short skirt. The floral skirt accentuated her perfect figure. Her long, straight, and slender white legs made one want to play with her.
More importantly, the skin on Kim Hee-rok's legs was so delicate and smooth it was breathtaking.
"It's so beautiful," Lu Wuyai exclaimed, a trickle of saliva dribbling down the corner of his mouth.
Seeing Lu Wuyai's piggyback appearance, Jin Xilu really wanted to completely cover her long legs.
Jin Xilu left quickly, not daring to face Lu Wuyai alone.
Just from the cries of wild cats coming from inside the container at night, the women knew that Lu Wuyai was nothing but a beast. If he had the heart of a beast, no one could escape him.
Seeing Jin Xilu leave in a panic, Lu Wuyai's face immediately darkened.
"I'm not a man-eating tiger, right?" Lu Wuyai suppressed his words, but his hands kept moving, stirring the cement and filling the four corners of the hole again.
That evening, the renovation of the cave was finally completed.
Lu Wuyai went to the pool to take a bath. When he came out, it was completely dark.
However, this did not prevent Lu Wuyai's blue eyes from shining brightly in the darkness.
Lu Wuyai can now see for a long time at night, and his night vision range is shorter than Song Xiaoyou's.
"Ever since I ate the big green fruit in the orchard, my night vision has never disappeared." Lu Wuyai recalled that experience and attributed his ability to maintain his night vision to the big green fruit.
On several later occasions, Lu Wuyai also picked many such fruits and brought them back to the cave for Song Xiaoyou to study.
Unfortunately, the results were not satisfactory. Others who ate the fruit did not maintain their night vision for long periods of time, or even have the ability to see at night.
Based on this discovery, Song Xiaoyou speculated that some substances in the large green fruit may begin to disappear after a period of time after being picked, so for ordinary people, it is just an ordinary sweet and sour fruit.
Unfortunately, Lu Wuyai was busy with the construction of underground tunnels afterward and did not have time to conduct further practical research.
Under the pitch-black night, the animals on the deserted island seemed to be holding a carnival, and Lu Wuyai could hear the roars of the wild beasts rising and falling.
Occasionally, a sliver of moonlight would shroud the rocky hill, and a large, snow-white wolf would slowly walk by. Beside it lay a large, black dog with its head bowed. Its handsome body appeared very tall.
Oh, I see.
Lu Wuyai heard the white wolf howling and realized that something seemed wrong with it. When he came down from the rocky mountain, he encountered a lot of traps, which frightened the general so much that he immediately blocked his way.
Upon seeing this, Lu Wuyai immediately dismantled the nearby mechanisms and then led Bai Lang and the general into the cave.
If my guess is correct, Bai Lang will give birth starting tonight.
Thinking of this, Lu Wuyai was in no hurry to enter the cave. Instead, he closed the cave door, rearranged the previous traps, and headed towards the forest near the rocky mountain.
He whistled inside, and a dark figure suddenly rushed up, almost pinning Lu Wuyai to the ground.
"Sheriff, get up first." Lu Wuyai suppressed a fireball and tried to push the general away, but the sheepdog was no longer the same as before. Just its size alone was outrageous, two heads stronger than a typical liger... The only saving grace was that this growth had finally stopped.
Soon, Lu Wuyai felt that the air around him suddenly became fresher.
Call up.
Taking a deep breath and glancing at the general in the forest, Lu Wuyai led it into the forest, preparing to provide the white wolf, who was about to give birth, with plenty of blood-replenishing food.
Soon, the forest descended into chaos, with a man and a dog running rampant and committing murder.
In the middle of the night, Lu Wuyai drove a cartload of blood food into the stone mountain and lit a barbecue grill in a shady spot. Judging from the white wolf's past habits, it seemed to prefer cooked food.
Inside the vehicle were mostly rabbits, a few wild deer, and three black goats. This meal would be enough for the white wolf to eat until the birthing was over.
Two hours later, Lu Wuyai brought the roasted meat into the cave. As soon as he entered, he heard the white wolf howling, seemingly in extreme discomfort and pain.
"Why did you come here just now?" Tang Xin complained, but when she saw the cooked food that Lu Wuyai brought, she knew that he was there to replenish Bai Lang's strength, so she let him be.
Lu Wuyai placed the cooked food on the ground, patted the white wolf's belly, which made it grin.
"Don't touch its belly," Jin Xilu said angrily, slapping Lu Wuyai's hand away.
Beside him, the general bowed his head to Lu Wuyai, a hint of anxiety in his eyes.
"Don't be afraid. The worst-case scenario is a C-section. Mother and child will always be safe."
In fact, Lu Wuyai was also very worried, but in order to ease the atmosphere, he tried his best to say some nice things.
As dawn broke, Bai Lang finally gave birth to her first child.
It was a small black animal. Nobody knew if it was a wolf or a dog. Now it looked exactly the same. Let's just call it a wolfhound.
Soon, the second and third wolfhounds were born.
Perhaps because of their parents, these wolf cubs were born larger than ordinary puppies and wolf cubs.
Wow.
The white wolf howled and licked her cub beside her, her maternal glow amplified infinitely at that moment.
Lu Wuyai placed a roasted goat nearby, gesturing for it to eat more. Production continued.
And so, the delivery didn't finish until noon.
At this moment, the smell inside the cave was truly unbearable. Lu Wuyai took a blower and connected it to the outside world through a ventilation hole.
In the corner of the cave, nine wolfhounds were arching around the white wolf's body, each with a wolfhound in its mouth, sucking on it with all its might.
Woof woof
The general called out, but the only response was a low growl from the white wolf, as if warning the new father not to disturb him while his child was nursing.
Alas.
The general looked aggrieved, head bowed, his back hunched over by the white wolf. Finally, he was whipped several times by the wolf's tail, and then left in anger.
Seeing this, everyone held back their laughter and tried to comfort Bai Lang.
Being petted and stroked by everyone, the white wolf did not refuse. After a moment of silence, he finally fell asleep with the little wolfhound.
Lu Wuyai left with the general. The blood they had captured last night had been completely used up, and the White Wolf's demands far exceeded his expectations.
Fortunately, there were many animals in the forest, and Lu Wuyai and his two sheepdogs continued to hunt various animals in the forest.
Finally, they found a lone tiger.
A spotted tiger was walking alone on a mountain path when it was surrounded by a general and another general, along with Lu Wuyai, who was armed. You can imagine the battle.
Five minutes later, the tiger, with a gunshot wound in its eyebrow, lay on the ground, dead.
On the side, the general was licking his claws, which were covered in blood; both claws were broken.
On the other hand, the general had a thick mane and piercing eyes, making him appear exceptionally energetic.
Lu Wuyai looked at the two sheepdogs thoughtfully.
An hour later, Lu Wuyai and his group returned to the cave with a large amount of prey and began preparing new food for the white wolf.
At that moment, everyone in the cave watched the nine little wolfhounds waddle away on the ground, feeling immense happiness in their hearts.
There are nine wolfhounds in total, three black and three white, and the rest are black and white, and look like Border Collies.
Lu Wuyai watched longingly, then picked one up from the ground. The white wolf beside him snorted, seemingly a little displeased.
However, seeing that Lu Wuyai did not harm the puppy, he lowered his head and recovered a lot of the energy he had used up during childbirth.
Soon, Lu Wuyai arrived on the ground and began roasting the already processed large spotted tiger.
It has to be said that this was the first time Lu Wuyai had actually eaten tiger meat since arriving on the deserted island, although most of the tiger meat would end up in the mouths of the white wolf.
"Tsk tsk, this is a male tiger." Lu Wuyai stared intently at a certain part of the tiger, his eyes gleaming brightly, as if he were looking at a beautiful woman about to undress, and he was quite excited.
Soon, smoke from the kitchen began to rise into the forest, and Lu Wuyai made no attempt to conceal it. The surrounding dense trees blocked the smoke from the kitchen from reaching the air before it could even ascend.
A few months ago, the area around the tomb was barren. In less than three months, it has become a small grove of trees.
"Everyone says it takes ten years for a tree to grow. I looked at the trees on the deserted island, and they grew into towering trees in just two months." Lu Wuyai shook his head, finding it unbelievable.
Although it seems somewhat unbelievable, the changes here have made up for the shortcomings of the cave, and various plants have completely covered this place.
Moreover, Lu Wuyai and his group had already set up a large number of traps in the vicinity. Although they wouldn't kill anyone, they would be enough to deter some survivors who planned to come here.
An hour later, Lu Wuyai cut off the fully cooked tiger meat, kept a small portion, and fed the rest to the white wolf.
For dinner, everyone ate tiger meat. The taste goes without saying. The incredibly chewy texture alone was addictive.
"It was delicious, but it's so hot afterward." Su Xi waved her hand after speaking. The wind made her look like a ripe apple, appearing exceptionally tempting.
Not just her, but the other women were the same, except that Lu Wuyai ate too much, and his whole body was radiating heat.
Strangely, after eating the first piece of tiger meat, Lu Wuyai had a feeling: the tiger meat made him hungry.
Subsequent events proved that the tiger meat was indeed very satisfying. Lu Wuyai didn't feel hungry until noon the next day, even though he hadn't eaten much the night before.
"If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely try my best to get more tigers," Lu Wuyai whispered from the side.
Five days after White Wolf gave birth, the long-awaited second-stage plant essence potion was finally produced in the cave.
The women couldn't take their eyes off the crystal-clear liquid in the test tube. They felt that this stuff wasn't for drinking, but for appreciation.
"Let's give them the medicine first; it will take some time for it to take effect," Song Xiaoyou said.
It's clear that Song Xiaoyou was extremely tired during this period, and even developed dark circles under her eyes.
After all, Gu Yuxin was the person most familiar with these machines. Song Xiaoyou hadn't even had time to thoroughly study them before something happened to her, as a master-level expert.
Soon, everyone watched as the liquid in the two test tubes slowly dripped into Gu Yuxin's mouth.
"Let's spread out first; the drug's effect shouldn't be that quick."
Song Xiaoyou dismissed everyone and went back to doing her own thing.
As dusk fell, a sound of vomiting rang out, and Lu Wuyai, who had been resting in the container, immediately sat up straight and rushed to the underground cave as fast as he could.
It was 5 p.m. when Lu Wuyai saw that the two women who had been unconscious had stood up straight. After nearly a month in a coma, they looked extremely haggard.
Song Xiaoyou also hurriedly came over and asked about Gu Yuxin and her health.
Soon the cave was packed with people.
After a month of not eating or drinking, relying solely on plant extracts, the two women's skin even turned green, and they were extremely weak and powerless.
Fortunately, Su Xi had already started cooking porridge, and the aroma of the white porridge spread along the corridor.
"I'm hungry," Gu Yuxin cried sadly. She hadn't eaten in a long time. Now that she was awake, she felt unwell all over.
Gu Yuxin was even a little dazed, staring at the environment in the cave, and it took her a long time to come out of her daze.
