"That direction seems to be where the lights were flashing before." Lu Wuyai's eyes widened, and he felt his breathing quicken.
Soon, an explosion began to spread, like a muffled thunderclap.
Lu Wuyai saw the women come out of the cave and run towards him.
“Su Xi and You Li, you stay home. The rest of you come with me to take a look.” Lu Wuyai said that this time it wasn’t out of curiosity, but because he wanted to see what was happening there.
Given the magnitude of the explosion, we must find out the cause.
Song Xiaoyou opened her mouth, intending to stop him, but seeing Lu Wuyai's serious expression, she finally fell silent.
In the blink of an eye, everyone was on the bus and headed toward the horizon.
The sky remained pitch black, and only in the areas illuminated by the firelight could one vaguely make out some things.
Song Xiaoyou sat in the passenger seat, her pupils slightly fixed. Her eyesight was excellent; she could see even at night. The scene was no different from daytime.
Half an hour later, Lu Wuyai keenly noticed that other people had appeared in the forest.
Click it.
Lu Wuyai heard the sound of the trigger being pulled and stepped on the gas.
The bullet pierced the last row of glass instantly, causing the woman to scream and immediately cover her mouth.
"Everyone, please get your weapons ready." Lu Wuyai's face was grim, but a pleasant surprise still arrived.
However, the woman reacted quickly. When she realized someone was deliberately attacking her, she immediately fought back.
They also had guns, and most importantly, each of them could see things at night.
Song Xiaoyou discovered that the reason this group of people were able to aim at her car in the dark was entirely because they had night vision goggles.
Song Xiaoyou took a box from under the car seat, opened it as quickly as possible, and assembled the contents.
One minute later, a sniper rifle was ready.
When he left, Lu Wuyai only drove an MPV. Because it had been exposed to the sun all day, the battery was now fully charged. More importantly, this MPV was incredibly stable to drive.
Song Xiaoyou pointed the sniper rifle at the window, and a few seconds later, he pulled the trigger.
Pfft.
When Lu Wuyai heard the sound of a bullet piercing flesh, he turned around and saw Song Xiaoyou's trembling body. He then reached out and squeezed her shoulder hard.
Feeling the warmth of the man's hand beside her, Song Xiaoyou swallowed and said, "I'm fine, don't worry about me."
Even though it was a long-range shot, Song Xiaoyou's psychological burden was not lessened at all after killing someone with a gun for the first time.
Lu Wuyai was still focused on driving. At the same time, his ears were also picking up the occasional sounds coming from the forest.
"Lu Wuyai, their car!" Gu Yuxin suddenly shouted.
Lu Wuyai turned around and saw a huge SUV speeding toward his vehicle in the darkness.
"I am coming."
Song Xiaoyou held a gun, knelt on one knee on the seat, and pointed the gun at the driver.
The driver was shot dead in less than five seconds.
With a bang.
The vehicle lost control, crashed into a nearby dead tree, and flipped over.
The vehicle did not explode, but the people inside were dizzy and struggled to climb out.
Seeing this, Lu Wuyai immediately stopped the car and told Moloy to drive. He picked up his gun and charged towards the black sedan.
The next minute, Lu Wuyai killed everyone in the car.
After dragging the body out of the car, Lu Wuyai used his physical strength to flip the vehicle over.
"The front is a bit damaged, but that doesn't prevent it from being used," Lu Wuyai said with a grin, adding that it was like getting a car for free.
Soon, Lu Wuyai opened the car door, started the engine, and drove straight towards the shore with the woman in tow.
Along the way, Lu Wuyai was more concerned about the environment in the Deadwood Forest. He was worried that someone might rush out of the forest again.
Fortunately, the following period was peaceful, except for the occasional explosions on the beach.
Another half hour passed, and Lu Wuyai could clearly hear the sound of the waves; the target of the secret passage was right in front of him.
Driving past a withered coconut grove, Lu Wuyai squinted. On the sea, a plume of red smoke was gradually dying down. It was clear that it was a huge cruise ship, and the explosion had occurred in the cockpit.
"Such a huge cruise ship!" Jin Xilu exclaimed, covering her mouth.
This is a foreign cruise ship, and there are at least several hundred containers on board.
But at that moment, due to a sudden explosion and the receding tide, it came to an almost complete stop on the beach.
However, Lu Wuyai and the others did not get out of the car, but quickly drove it away from the beach, because the violent explosions were still continuing.
With a bang.
Several shipping containers fell from the sky and landed right where Lu Wuyai and the others had stopped.
Seeing this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines. They secretly rejoiced and distanced themselves from the beach.
"How many survivors do you think this voyage will bring?" Yu Mengrou wondered curiously. The explosions here would definitely attract a large number of survivors. However, after being eliminated in the hazy days, who knows how many people would be left on the deserted island.
“I don’t know, but the cruise ship is still at sea, and the tide is going out now, so we don’t have much time left,” Lu Wuyai said.
Suddenly, he reached out his hand and looked up at the sky. At some point, dark clouds covered the sky.
It's raining.
"Can it extinguish the fire on the cruise ship?"
In fact, the rain intensified in less than ten minutes, extinguishing the fire on the cruise ship, and no explosions occurred for the next half hour.
However, during this time, Lu Wuyai still saw some figures appear on the nearby hills. There weren't many of them, just a few, and they were now rushing towards the cruise ship.
Squeak squeak squeak squeak.
The cruise ship suddenly emitted a loud bang, which grew louder and louder. In less than two minutes, the seemingly intact spaceship broke in two.
At that moment, countless containers were dumped from the cruise ship and landed on the beach, making a piercing metallic scraping sound that almost gave people goosebumps.
As for the survivors who arrived near the cruise ship earlier, some were directly smashed to pieces, and their screams never stopped from the beginning.
"Go take a look," Lu Wuyai shouted.
Two minutes later, the vehicle stopped in front of a huge shipping container. Lu Wuyai used his gun to unlock the safety and found a large quantity of winter clothing inside.
"Be careful, don't go too far. Just search the nearby containers." Lu Wuyai was worried that someone might be lying in ambush nearby.
As a result, half an hour later, just as Lu Wuyai was about to open the next container, he happened to encounter another survivor who appeared from the corner with a flashlight.
For a moment, the atmosphere became unusually quiet and strange.
Lu Wuyai stared intently at the other person, his whole body tense, his ears straining to hear the other person's heartbeat, trying to capture that one moment of difference.
Moreover, both of them had guns and were very afraid of guns.
In the end, the other party left without any conflict with Lu Wuyai.
Opening the container, Lu Wuyai slipped inside and found some metal fragments that were of no immediate use.
The cruise ship does have a lot of containers, but there are also a lot of things they can't take with them.
"Lu Wuyai, why did you bring so much baby formula?"
Jin Xilu looked at the milk powder in Lu Wuyai's hand with some surprise.
Lu Wuyai touched his head, thinking that if his woman was really pregnant, these things might come in handy.
But Lu Wuyai would never say such things in front of other women, not even if it meant death.
“I drank some water and wanted a change of pace.” Lu Wuyai even deliberately licked his lips.
"But there's no need to bring so much," Jin Xilu said, looking at the car full of milk powder, feeling it was a waste of space.
"Anyway, my car is on the road." Lu Wuyai shrugged.
Before they knew it, dawn broke, and the tide was rising. Lu Wuyai and the others had no choice but to leave early.
I took one last look at the container being swallowed by the sea. I worried that the things inside would be unusable after the next low tide.
However, those two cruise ships are still adrift at sea, so there might be a chance to open the refrigerator tonight.
......
Early the next morning, Lu Wuyai and the others drove all their vehicles to the beach and called Gu Yuxin and Han Shuyi.
"There really is a cruise ship." Gu Yuxin said in surprise, looking at the blurry shadow on the sea.
Neither she nor Gu Yuxin could see at night, so they could only see an outline.
But that alone was enough to convince them.
Lu Wuyai got out of the car and looked around. He could clearly see some survivors.
On the beach, strings of bonfires were lit. Clearly, someone wanted to use the firelight to open blind boxes on the two cruise ships.
However, in this world, there are good people and bad people; there are people who want you to live well and people who want you to die.
When Lu Wuyai heard the gunshot, his men had already begun opening the blind boxes in the shipping containers below the ship.
If you look closely at this point, you'll notice that the cruise ships are closer to the beach today than they were yesterday, as are the containers that have been soaking in the sea all day.
"First, find the containers marked yesterday: food and fresh water. Second, and most importantly, daily necessities," Lu Wuyai said.
Everyone understood what Lu Wuyai meant. They had already made a list of their most needed items before leaving home today, and they had stumbled upon some of them yesterday when they opened the blind box. However, due to limited space and time yesterday, they were unable to move them in time.
Soon, a marked container was opened, and Lu Wuyai and Song Xiaoyou stood on high ground, ready to check for any emergencies nearby.
Even though it was night, there were still many people on the beach.
These people all have night vision goggles. Although their range and convenience are not as good as natural night vision, it's not a big problem when opening blind boxes.
Here, Song Xiaoyou holds a crossbow and occasionally pulls the trigger, forcing some strangers back.
Lu Wuyai pricked up his ears, remaining vigilant amidst the clamor of the waves for those who gleamed coldly in the darkness.
On the ground, Su Xi was leading people to transport supplies.
This is a box of sanitary napkins, which is so important to these women.
On a deserted island, medical technology is underdeveloped. Using these sanitary napkins, women can largely maintain the cleanliness of their private parts and prevent certain diseases.
Moreover, being in the wild can avoid trouble. I remember when I first arrived on the desert island, the smell of blood was a big problem.
After loading the liquor into two vehicles, Su Xi and the others began unloading it. This stuff was also good for disinfection. They hadn't expected there to be such a large quantity of this kind of cargo on the cruise ship.
A white plastic bucket filled with medical alcohol.
"Su Xi, look at the production date. It was actually produced this year." Yu Mengrou turned the plastic bucket over; the production date printed on it was several months ago.
Everyone looked at each other, seemingly deep in thought.
On the container, Lu Wuyai also overheard their conversation. Although somewhat surprised, he roughly guessed what was going on.
Although the world experienced a strange and violent nuclear explosion last year, and even some unknown changes, some things, such as business, seem to remain unchanged.
If you look closely, you'll easily notice that almost everything in the container was produced this year.
Half an hour later, everyone started opening the blind boxes again.
This time, Lu Wuyai hoped to find some transport vehicles so that he could haul away a lot of things.
As time went on, these blind boxes that had fallen onto the beach were gradually opened.
During this time, Lu Wuyai noticed someone driving a car out of the container, and the thought of robbing him flashed through his mind.
A car is extremely important to anyone on a desert island.
"If others can rob us, we can rob others too." Once this thought took hold, he couldn't shake it. Lu Wuyai said to Song Xiaoyou, got off the container, and rushed towards the target vehicle.
For him, darkness was like daytime.
After bypassing several "stragglers," Lu Wuyai arrived at the car. Hearing the commotion inside, he suddenly opened the door. Before the driver's terrified eyes, he knocked him unconscious with a single stab.
At this moment, Lu Wuyai quickly got into the car, started the vehicle as fast as possible, and drove the black electric pickup truck back to the beach on the other side.
It has to be said that this process was exhilarating for Lu Wuyai. He was still a little excited when he returned to the beach.
"The robbery was successful." Lu Wuyai got out of the car and put his arm around Su Xi, who was walking quickly.
There was an extra pickup truck, so this time it carried an extra load.
This robbery was successful, and Lu Wuyai found a shortcut to success.
Over the next few hours, Lu Wuyai relied on his night vision and astonishing physical strength to traverse the sandy ground piled with shipping containers. Whenever he spotted a vehicle, he would seize the opportunity to steal it.
After going back and forth, Lu Wuyai actually managed to get another solar-powered off-road vehicle. This vehicle was surrounded by bulletproof glass and was extremely heavy.
"Now, we have two refueling trucks, one electric SUV, two electric pickup trucks, and two solar-powered vehicles," Lu Wuyai counted the vehicles parked on the beach, howling inwardly.
It seems that these two electric pickup trucks can be modified, because Gu Yuxin has recently been researching solar energy technology, and I believe they will be one step closer to success.
That night, everyone eagerly opened the wooden crates. As time passed, the tide rose and fell, and a new wave of seawater began to surge onto the beach.
Soon, taking advantage of the last darkness before dawn, Lu Wuyai led the convoy away, speeding along to avoid encountering other survivors.
"I hope we can find some weapons tonight," Lu Wuyai said to himself.
At dawn, the convoy arrived at Shiqiu. Gu Yuxin and Han Shuyi waved goodbye, promising to meet again that evening.
After that, there was a huge uninstallation task.
Because two vehicles were stolen this time, the supplies brought back were too plentiful.
It was estimated that the underground space could not hold so many things today, so Lu Wuyai and the others could only temporarily put some unused items in the No. 1 and No. 2 rice fields that had just been harvested.
By the time they finished, it was already noon. Everyone dragged their weary bodies back into the cave to rest. Lu Wuyai chose a spot and began shoveling soil to dig a new space.
In fact, before carrying diesel fuel into the canyon, Lu Wuyai and his group had already dug a new cave. It was now filled with diesel fuel—enough to keep them occupied for over ten years.
Lu Wuyai didn't feel too tired, but he still took a nap on the rocky mountain at dusk.
When he woke up, it was already dark. Lu Wuyai went back to the cave, ate dinner, and then continued digging. It was at this time that Gu Yuxin and Han Shuyi reappeared.
At 10 PM, the convoy left the city. This time, all members were mobilized. Lu Wuyai felt he could pull off another robbery tonight.
However, when he reached the beach, Lu Wuyai discovered that there were an unusually large number of survivors tonight. Numerous bonfires had been lit on the beach, dispelling the darkness and illuminating the two cruise ships.
After opening the wooden crates two nights ago, the survivors began to focus their attention on the containers on the cruise ship.
Lu Wuyai looked at the campfire around him. This environment was not friendly to them.
"Otherwise, let's skip tonight," Su Xi said.
These campfires were surrounded by people, so putting them out was not easy.
Just as Lu Wuyai felt it was time to abandon tonight's operation, a thunderstorm suddenly broke out.
"It seems even God is helping us." Lu Wuyai got out of the car with a smile.
Because thunderstorms come and go quickly, it's as if they only come to extinguish these fires.
Moreover, the survivors could no longer live there because the dead trees in the forest were soaked by the rain.
“We should go check out the cruise ship.” Lu Wuyai took a few iron hooks from the back of the small truck and led Su Xi and Song Xiaoyou to inspect the cruise ship.
The cruise ship stranded on the beach was very tall. After confirming that there were no survivors lying in ambush nearby, Lu Wuyai chose a boat that was closer to the beach.
Lu Wuyai swung the iron hook with all his might, and it immediately hit the ship's side.
Afterwards, Lu Wuyai let Su Xi and You Li go up first. These two women were physically superior to the others, so climbing the rope was not difficult for them.
Ten minutes later, the three men stood safely on the deck, looking at the densely packed containers above them, feeling at a loss as to where to begin.
“Let’s go find the other survivors first,” Lu Wuyai said. When he arrived, he found that there were quite a few people on the cruise ship, who were probably looking for supplies.
On this trip, Lu Wuyai is going to find some weapons. Even if he doesn't have firearms, ordinary melee weapons will do.
Foam was attached to the shoes of all three people to minimize the sound of their footsteps.
After walking around the deck, Lu Wuyai and the others found some bloody footprints. It's possible a gunfight had taken place there.
Realizing the danger, everyone had a gun. Lu Wuyai listened to the sounds coming from all directions, cautiously preparing for any sudden events that might occur at any moment.
