But what really caught Lu Wuyai's attention was that after killing the mosquitoes, some of the corpses were pale blue, which was clearly not human blood.
Moreover, there are usually only one or two mosquitoes, but there were a dozen or so of them. It's a pity that Lu Wuyai didn't have the habit of carrying test tubes, otherwise he would definitely have helped Gu Yuxin collect materials.
The office cleaning continued. Lu Wuyai swallowed, finding his throat a little dry, so he took out a bottle of light blue beverage from his headgear.
Looking at this matter, Lu Wuyai recalled what had happened a few days ago.
......
Five days earlier, as the storm subsided, the temperature on the deserted island began to rise steadily. Even at midday, people would sweat while walking on the mountain.
"Lu Wuyai, move this wood ash into a container," Su Xi called out.
Since the last fire was extinguished with a large amount of wood ash, the women have been working on remaking the raw materials for cement.
This special plant ash is packaged in plastic buckets, about seventy or eighty in total.
Lu Wuyai had a terrible headache. The women had already gone back into the cave to escape the heat, as the outside temperature had become quite warm.
"Just consider it training." Lu Wuyai carried the cement and walked towards the container tunnel.
As they passed the garage, Wu Jiujiu saw Lu Wuyai and immediately ran out, saying that he had come to help.
"Aren't you afraid your clothes will tear?" Lu Wuyai joked, because Wu Jiujiu was wearing a men's shirt today, but even so, it couldn't hide his ample chest.
Wu Jiujiu blushed, but still helped Lu Wuyai share some of the burden.
Upon entering the container tunnel, Wu Jiujiu saw so many supplies for the first time. These items combined exceeded the company's reserves on its cruise ship.
Of course, it doesn't refer to quantity, but rather to type.
"Did you collect all these things by yourself during the winter?" Wu Jiujiu asked.
Lu Wuyai nodded. The ice storm last winter felt like it happened just yesterday. The memory was still vivid and indelible.
And so, Lu Wuyai and Wu Jiujiu made dozens of trips back and forth between the containers and the mountain, finally finishing moving all the items.
"Really?" Old Wu suddenly said, "I've just realized how comfortable the temperature is in this cave. It's not hot at all, it's even a little cold."
Knowing that Wu Jiujiu had never seen a Hantan before, Lu Wuyai led her to the corner where the Hantans were displayed.
"Is it really that amazing?" Wu Jiujiu asked in surprise, looking at the cold water pool.
Seeing the curiosity in Wu Jiujiu's eyes, Lu Wuyai repeatedly reminded him that although this cold water pool had been far away from the stone mountain for a long time, the cold air inside was still constant, otherwise there wouldn't be so much frost nearby.
Even Lu Wuyai's current body can only be barely touched.
However, although this cold water pool is very cold, it's really refreshing in the summer. The temperature throughout the container cave space is only a dozen degrees Celsius lower than the cave entrance.
"What are these?" Old Wu pointed to a backpack near Hantan, which contained dozens of test tubes. The liquid in the test tubes was completely frozen.
“This is good stuff.” When Lu Wuyai saw those test tubes, he immediately knew what they were.
When he first discovered the Cold Pool, Gu Yuxin studied the liquid inside and used it to make a cold drink that only Lu Wuyai could drink.
"I didn't expect these things to still exist." Lu Wuyai sighed, and left the container cave without saying a word.
......
If time were reversed, Lu Wuyai would be holding a transparent cup, yet he could not feel the coldness inside.
This is a special material that can effectively insulate against heat and maintain the original temperature, regardless of whether it is hot or cold.
When you open the lid, a layer of frost immediately forms on the rim of the cup.
"Without adding water, this liquid has a really powerful cooling effect." Lu Wuyai sighed.
Lu Wuyai took a breath and tried to feel the temperature inside the cup. He wanted to drink hot water, but he didn't dare.
However, Gu Yuxin once said that this liquid can increase the body's tolerance, but not many people can withstand it.
Even though the temperature is below zero, the liquid in the cup didn't freeze. It's really amazing.
After opening the lid and heating it for a few minutes, Yang Nuoguo took a small sip. The next second, his body trembled, and a sharp pain came from his abdomen and quickly spread.
Lu Wuyai felt a secret unease. He lifted his shirt and found many blue veins and blood vessels bulging from his navel. It looked like the glass was about to shatter.
As time passed, Lu Wuyai felt the stinging pain more and more, and had to squat down, constantly telling himself to endure it.
The hairs on his body stood on end, trembling like steel needles. At the same time, Lu Wuyai noticed something emerging from his pores.
"It feels the same as the previous bone marrow cleaning and bone cutting." Lu Wuyai was startled.
At this very moment, in the cowshed less than ten meters away from Lu Wuyai, the three women were still busy whispering, completely unaware of anything unusual about Lu Wuyai.
As for Lu Wuyai, his entire body was so cold it felt like it was cracking. Even in the dead of winter, he had never experienced such a feeling.
But now, this tearing sensation rising from his lower abdomen made him very uncomfortable, and he really wanted to pass out in an instant.
A minute later, Lu Wuyai discovered that a large amount of mucus was seeping out of his pores and was still flowing out, and a familiar stench gradually spread to the surroundings.
"Cleanse the bone marrow, cut open the bones." Lu Wuyai took a deep breath, but he didn't expect that after drinking this stuff, it would actually cleanse his marrow and cut his bones.
I remember last time, Lu Wuyai's physical condition underwent a huge change due to the bone marrow cleansing and bone resection. I never expected that he would experience the same feeling again just over half a month later.
My body felt lighter and lighter, even though my limbs were still in excruciating pain.
Lu Wuyai gradually lay down on the ground, because only in this position could he alleviate the pain in his body as much as possible.
"It's still bearable."
Lu Wuyai was breathing heavily, his whole body was cold, and his lower abdomen ached as if it were being cut by a knife.
He opened his stomach and took a look. His once clean stomach was now covered with dense red lines. He touched it with his finger, and the pain made Lu Wuyai faint on the spot.
At that moment, the cold feeling in his body gradually disappeared. Lu Wuyai felt a wave of nausea rising from his trachea, and he lay on the ground, vomiting on the spot.
The vomit was a deep red color, and Lu Wuyai suspected it might be some of his internal organs.
However, he found that apart from the tingling in his lower abdomen, he was now completely healed.
He got up from the ground, slowly stretching his muscles while also gradually adjusting to the stinging pain in his lower abdomen. The feeling was truly uncomfortable, like a steel needle piercing his body. His lower abdomen tightened slightly, and Lu Wuyai was in so much pain he couldn't speak. Asthma.
"Looking at it this way, this marrow cleansing and bone-cutting procedure was too intense." Lu Wuyai swallowed hard, clutching his stomach to ease the pain he had just experienced.
Here, Song Xiaoyou and the others were nearing the end of their work. When they looked back at Lu Wuyai, they noticed something unusual about him.
"Brother Lu Wuyai, what's wrong?" Xia Qingming ran over, his face filled with worry.
Lu Wuyai's face was extremely pale. He covered the vomit with his foot and smiled at Xia Qingming, saying, "It's alright, you'll be fine soon."
Seeing Xia Qingming nod, Lu Wuyai said, "Then I'll go get you some water, and you can continue your work."
After saying that, Lu Wuyai turned around, clutching his stomach, and walked step by step toward the pool.
Xia Qingming watched his opponent's retreating figure with suspicion, but didn't think much of it. He turned around and continued tidying up the cowshed, seeking advice from Old Wu on how to become more "mellow" and "refined."
Lu Wuyai, still adjusting to the changes in his body as he walked towards the pool, glanced behind him and then quickly turned towards the nearby woods. He spotted a tall, straight tree. Gathering his strength, he gritted his teeth and leaped towards the treetop.
The roaring sound echoed in Lu Wuyai's ears, and he realized that his physical fitness had indeed improved a lot.
Before, when he picked leaves, he could only jump about 7 meters high, but now he can jump at least 10 meters. He also has to use some of his energy to endure the stabbing pain in his lower abdomen.
Soon, he stood on the treetop, raised his head, and looked at the mountains shrouded in a thin mist in the distance, feeling a surge of pride in his heart.
But when he landed, Lu Wuyai made a painful face, his whole body was numb.
"I don't know how long this injury will last." Lu Wuyai limped along, trying to adapt to the current situation quickly.
That night, while everyone else was asleep, Lu Wuyai got up and went straight to the laboratory.
"How did you get so badly injured?" Gu Yuxin asked as she looked at Lu Wuyai's open stomach, revealing a gruesome scene inside.
"Don't tell anyone yet, just take a look for me," Lu Wuyai said with a smile. It was clear that Gu Yuxin was very nervous, which was completely different from his composure when he was doing experiments before.
Gu Yuxin frowned, had Lu Wuyai lie down on the operating table, then closed the laboratory door and began to carefully examine his body.
Therefore, the experimental data showed that Lu Wuyai's lower abdominal skin and muscles were severely damaged, and he needed to rest for a period of time and could not make any big movements, otherwise he was prone to massive bleeding or even internal organ rupture.
"What exactly did you do?" Gu Yuxin applied ointment to Lu Wuyai, and when she learned that Lu Wuyai had drunk undiluted water from the cold pool, she almost slapped him to death.
"It lets you do whatever you want."
"Hehe, I won't dare to do that next time, but you have no idea that this icy pool water can actually cleanse the marrow and break the bones, but the process is extremely dangerous." Lu Wuyai pointed to himself and sighed helplessly.
However, Lu Wuyai meant that perhaps Gu Yuxin could study it carefully and have others take it, which might accelerate the improvement of their physical fitness.
"We'll talk about it later," Gu Yuxin said angrily. "You'd better hurry up and get yourself back in shape."
After Lu Wuyai and Gu Yuxin agreed to go to the lab for treatment every night, they spent some time together until dawn, feeling refreshed.
The lower abdominal pain persists, but it has significantly lessened compared to yesterday.
Lu Wuyai left the cave and headed towards the container cave. Here, he began to familiarize himself with his body and regain control of his powers.
After the second bone marrow cleansing and bone resection, he clearly discovered that not only had his body changed, but his vision and hearing had also improved significantly.
Lu Wuyai's hearing was already sharp, and his vision was clearer and farther than before.
"If this continues, won't I become an unparalleled master?" Lu Wuyai laughed for a while, but he knew that if he wanted to truly survive safely on the deserted island, this little bit of power was far from enough.
In Lu Wuyai's heart, the shadow of the giant serpent always loomed. As the oxygen content increased, the deserted island in the future would surely be a world of demons and monsters, which made him even more hesitant about the world outside the deserted island.
"Let's see if we can get in touch with the outside world." Lu Wuyai thought of those phone numbers. Occasionally at night, people would use them to pass the time, dialing numbers that still existed in their memories.
Over the next few days, the weather was calm and increasingly pleasant. As temperatures rose, plants began to grow rapidly and on a massive scale.
On the mountain, clumps of weeds grew abundantly. Su Xi, heavily pregnant, stood near the cave entrance. She watched the busy figures of others, feeling quite envious. Unfortunately, she was already seven months pregnant. According to Gu Yuxin's advice and calculations, the child was expected to be born in the eighth month.
There are too many weeds, which means that rats, insects, snakes and ants are hiding in many places.
Lu Wuyai, carrying a flamethrower, used the flames to drive them away. Large numbers of flying insects scattered in all directions.
"There are too many of these bugs," everyone started complaining.
The oxygen content in the air remains at around 30%.
In this environment, the reproduction rate of insects in the forest also entered a period of rapid explosion.
On the mountain, Lu Wuyai's flamethrower continuously spewed flames, and the insect corpses piled up like rain in every corner.
"This is going to be bad if it continues like this!" Lu Wuyai shouted. Although the powerful output of the syringe could easily eliminate the insects, everyone knew that this trend was unstoppable.
An hour later, the mountain was covered with charred insect corpses, and the air seemed to be filled with the smell of barbecue.
Lu Wuyai bent down and picked up a grasshopper the size of his palm from the ground. This wasn't the biggest one.
"It feels like I'm witnessing a familiar piece of history firsthand," Gu Yuxin said.
Gu Yuxin is collecting the corpses of some species and plans to take them to the laboratory for research to see if there are any differences.
Others were scavenging the bodies. Although they were corpses, they would still decompose if left untreated.
Cockroaches, centipedes, scorpions, and rats can be seen everywhere in the cracks of the rocks. Even if they are not moving, it is enough to give you goosebumps.
Another hour passed, and Lu Wuyai and the others entered the forest, scattering some black particles along the way. When they brought them to their noses and smelled them, they found they had a pungent, spicy odor.
This stuff is made from sulfur stone and is specifically used to repel snakes.
The results may not be great, but it must be planned well.
There are too many insects; the insect plague in the forest is like a flowing river.
At this moment, Lu Wuyai and the others truly realized that in addition to providing shelter from the wind and rain, the forest could also provide a habitat for a large number of insects.
"For the first time, I had the urge to destroy the forest," Lu Wuyai said.
The same was true for the others. Fortunately, they went out fully equipped, wearing both a jacket and a protective suit. Even the smallest insects and flies couldn't get in.
"Cheer up, everyone," Lu Wuyai said. "There are many insects in the forest. If you step on them, the surviving insects will immediately scatter in all directions."
Ten minutes later, they arrived near the cave, sprinkled snake-repelling stones there, and rearranged the entrances and exits of the cowshed to prevent insects from entering.
Back in the cave, everyone was thinking about whether they should dig a tunnel leading to the container cave and then block up the previous entrance. After all, the materials there held most of their hopes.
"Let's get started," Lu Wuyai said. Rather than letting the insects invade and burrow into the ground, it's better to work harder now to connect the rocky mountain with the container tunnel.
That noon, after lunch, no one rested. They followed Lu Wuyai to clean the cave, breaking up the cement in a corner, carefully confirming the direction, and then began digging.
Lu Wuyai was incredibly fast. With his improved physical abilities, his hands moved like a human excavator, creating tunnels at a visible speed.
However, this also brought many problems, such as the presence of many insects and ants in the soil. As the excavation work began, they also tried to enter the cave along the passage.
In this way, those carrying soil on the periphery also had to be fully focused and dare not relax for a moment.
At dusk, the passage was opened.
Lu Wuyai broke through the concrete in front of him and found himself inside a container tunnel. He lifted his foot and stomped on all the insects nearby, leaving none behind.
Behind him, the women also came out one after another, looked at the container, breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to move the cement stored there.
Su Xi and Song Xiaoyou were left at the cave entrance, while the others followed Lu Wuyai and began to quickly level the ground with cement.
“Let’s begin,” Su Xi said to Song Xiaoyou.
The two of them wanted to reinforce the several hundred meters of passage, so they opened a container and took out a large amount of steel bars.
During her school years, Song Xiaoyou was very interested in structural science. This knowledge proved invaluable after she arrived on the deserted island.
The steel was very long, but there was a chainsaw. After the power was turned on, two people cut it off as quickly as possible.
Since entering meditation, Song Xiaoyou's physical condition has also improved.
Inside the passage, Lu Wuyai and the others quickly laid the cement. The first layer of cement was relatively thin, so it dried very quickly.
Moreover, this cement from the deserted island has a unique characteristic that other cements lack: it is extremely smooth.
If you can sell this to the outside world, you will definitely make a fortune.
The cement dried quickly. While applying the second layer of cement, Su Xi and Song Xiaoyou also began to reinforce the passage.
The sounds of clattering and clanging echoed here, and before we knew it, it was already late at night.
Lu Wuyai used a ladder to seal all the gaps at the opening of the container, so that not a single gap leaked out.
"It's finally over."
Everyone gathered inside the container cave, gazing at the passage leading to the cave, and sighed sincerely.
This passage was completed successfully in approximately 12 hours.
