"I'll go get some wood."
As Lu Wuyai spoke, he took out a homemade wolf-tooth saw from his waist and began to chop some small branches along the way.
Seeing this, Su Xi and the others stopped trying to persuade them and continued walking, stopping frequently, until they finally arrived at Shiqiu before noon.
Gazing at the trickling stream, everyone felt their throats burning.
When he reached the stream, Lu Wuyai had his head down, holding a handful of water. He drank several large mouthfuls, and his lungs and throat felt much better.
"Oh my God!" Lu Wuyai exclaimed in surprise, "The temperature on this deserted island must be unbelievably high!"
The alcohol thermometer showed that the air temperature had reached 45 degrees Celsius, and a wisp of white smoke even drifted out of the stream.
The surface temperature of the rocky hill has reached approximately 47 degrees Celsius, and people walking on it will feel the heat even on the soles of their shoes.
What's worse, it's only 12 o'clock, and there are still two hours until the hottest time of 2 o'clock.
A group of people stayed by the stream for a few minutes before running into the forest to escape the heat.
"How long will this summer last?" Lu Wuyai asked, hoping for a breeze to blow by.
Song Xiaoyou, who was standing to the side, looked up, blinked, and said, "It's already July, so it'll be hot for at least another month."
After thinking for a moment, Song Xiaoyou added, "The time between our latitude and longitude at the time of the crash and the distance we will drift in the future may need to be pushed back another month."
"Two months. It's so hot," Lu Wuyai complained immediately. The weather on the deserted island could kill someone under the sun.
The rescue team will reappear in 15 to 30 days.
Lu Jian glanced at Han Shuyi. She was resting in the shade of a tree with her eyes closed. She didn't speak and paid attention to anyone. She was still holding the silver pistol in her hand, looking very cautious.
"You guys rest for a bit, I'll go to the nearby woods to set some traps." Lu Wuyai took a bag of flesh and blood and two bottles of fresh water from his survival kit and went straight into the forest.
“I’ll go take a look too.” Yu Yuxia also got up from the ground, wanting to move around.
At this moment, there is plenty of moisture in the forest, which indicates that this deserted island actually has abundant underground water resources.
Lu Wuyai led Yu Yuxin back and forth, finally stopping in an unfamiliar, desolate forest.
The vegetation here is very dry, unlike any forest I've ever seen before.
There was also a lot of animal droppings on the ground. Lu Wuyai saw Yu Yuxin cut two small pieces of wood next to her, use them as chopsticks, and pick out some droppings one by one.
"What are you doing?" Lu Wuyai asked curiously.
Yu Yuxia recalled something and said uncertainly, "In Ma Fei's diary, he specifically mentioned analyzing forest animals through feces."
As Yu Mengru spoke, she picked up the feces, placed it ten centimeters away from her nose, and smelled it carefully.
Lu Wuyai felt a bit disgusted, but thought Yu Yuxia's behavior was quite proactive.
It's worth mentioning that some of these animal droppings were very fresh, looking as if they had just been produced.
Here, Lu Wuyai had already placed some rope traps not far from the excrement.
Ma Fei's notebook actually contained many traps, but for Lu Wuyai and his group, the simplest and easiest to set up were these rope traps.
In the past, due to limited materials, rope traps did not yield many results, but this time we obtained a large number of rescue ropes and aircraft debris from the plane, which made up for the lack of rope traps.
Therefore, Lu Wuyai was very much looking forward to the harvest from this trap.
Yu Yuxia had already stood up from the ground. She shook her head, blushing, and told Lu Wuyai that she couldn't tell the species of animals from the feces.
“There is a difference between theory and practice.” Lu Wuyai chuckled, but Yu Yuxia rolled her eyes.
On the way back, Lu Wuyai watched Yu Yuxin's retreating figure. Her originally uneven figure seemed to have become even more exaggerated after these past few days on the deserted island.
Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the leaves and branches, bringing a touch of gold to the otherwise dull forest.
At some point, Gu Yuxin suddenly stopped, and Lu Wuyai, who was following behind, accidentally bumped into her, causing a sharp pain in his nose.
"Why did you stop?" Lu Wuyai complained, pinching his nose, tears welling up in his eyes, when he happened to see a yellow venomous snake coiled in front of Yu Yuxin.
Its body, covered in scales, stood tall, its triangular head and two sharp teeth emanating a chilling aura.
Lu Wuyai picked up a piece of wood from the ground, waved it, and walked forward. The venomous snake immediately shrank back and ran away.
"Let's go." Lu Wuyai breathed a sigh of relief. He remembered that snakes were afraid of people and would not usually attack unless provoked.
But Yu Yuxin remained standing there, stunned. Lu Wuyai looked at her profile, his heart sinking. Could she have been bitten?
"Gu Yuxin, don't scare me."
"Where were you bitten? Tell me quickly."
"You want to kill me."
Just then, Yu Yuxia suddenly grabbed Lu Wuyai, and a lot of cold sweat slid down her forehead and down her cheeks.
"Don't speak, look to your right."
Gu Yuxin's voice was soft but urgent, which made Lu Wuyai turn his head suspiciously and look at Lin Dong on his right.
At first, he really didn't find anything. Lu Wuyai even thought Yu Mengrou was playing tricks. But as he carefully examined the situation in the woods, Lu Wuyai's forehead gradually became covered with cold sweat.
Barking.
Most trees in the forest have some kind of brown or dark bark, but here, the bark is often yellow, and sometimes the whole tree is bright yellow.
Upon closer inspection of the yellow areas, Lu Wuyai was shocked to discover that they were actually the bodies of snakes.
Look at that big tree covered in yellow. It's a giant python tightly coiled around it. Its scales are tightly packed, and in the sunlight, they faintly reflect a layer of light.
Gulu
Lu Wuyai was so frightened that his legs went weak. This was not a small snake, but a giant python with a body as thick as half a barrel.
The crucial point is that this enormous yellow python is staring at him and Yu Yuxin, its red snake eyes blinking rapidly. He has no idea what it will do to them next.
Lu Wuyai dared not make any sudden movements, fearing he might anger the giant snake. He moved slowly in front of Yu Yuxin, thinking that as a man, he couldn't escape a woman's presence.
Hissing sound.
The giant snake uttered a message, a sound that sent chills down the spines of both of them.
At the crucial moment, Lu Wuyai grabbed Yu Yuxia's hand and continued drawing on her palm.
At first, Yu Yuxin thought Lu Wuyai was taking advantage of her, and she was so angry that she fainted on the spot. But she soon discovered that the man standing in front of her was writing the character "Run" on his palm.
In an instant, Yu Yuxia was so moved that she almost shed tears.
"I'm not going."
Lu Wuyai panicked upon hearing this, thinking to himself, "If you don't leave, how can I possibly run away?"
As a result, the two of them stood there dumbfounded, staring blankly at the giant snake, their hearts pounding in their throats.
"Yu Mengru, please leave immediately!" Lu Wuyai stamped his feet anxiously.
But the woman behind him remained motionless, choking back tears as she said, "I'm not afraid to die together."
You are not afraid.
But I'm afraid.
Lu Wuyai's face was gloomy. If he hadn't been able to overcome that mental hurdle, he would have run away long ago.
"Continuing to wait is not an option."
Lu Wuyai tried to take a step back, holding Yu Yuxin's hand, his palms covered in cold sweat.
Yu Yuxia also became nervous, partly because of the giant snake, and partly because Lu Wuyai held her hand, which made her heart beat faster for no reason.
Finally, the two of them walked unsteadily for about ten meters. Seeing that the python hadn't driven them away, they turned around and began to run frantically.
After they ran out of the forest, the two of them dared not catch their breath.
"The giant snake didn't chase me."
"We are still alive."
Lu Wuyai and Yu Yuxin couldn't help but burst out laughing.
But at some point, the two suddenly stopped and looked at each other. A strange feeling was brewing in their eyes.
Having just experienced a terrifying scene, both of them felt that their current relationship was really strange.
Yu Yuxia blushed, only then realizing that her hand was still being held by Lu Wuyai. She tried to pull away, but found she couldn't, though she didn't reject him in her heart.
Here, Lu Wuyai seemed to sense Yu Yuxin's compromise. He swallowed hard and glanced at her heaving chest. Through the semi-transparent shirt, he could easily see the mysterious and sacred scene inside.
So, Lu Wuyashi couldn't help but pull Yu Yuxin over, with an egg's width of space between them.
The intense heartbeat became a silent aphrodisiac, rendering people unable to save themselves.
Lu Wuyai saw that Gu Yuxin had her head down and her face was flushed red, seemingly having tacitly agreed to his impending actions. He felt both excited and somewhat uncontrollably excited.
Just then, Su Xi's voice came from the forest.
"Lu Wuyai".
"Gu Yuxin, where are you?"
Upon hearing Su Xi's voice, Yu Yuxia turned deathly pale. She jumped up instantly, leaving Lu Wuyai's side, and paced back and forth in a panic, like a headless fly.
As Ye Meng walked out of the forest, he happened to see Yu Mengru, who had returned to normal expression, and Lu Wuyai standing to the side.
"Has a trap been set?"
Lu Wuyai nodded weakly, feeling a sense of oppression in his heart. The ambiguity from just now instantly brought him back to his true self.
As she left, Yu Yuxin glared fiercely at Lu Wuyai and raised her fists, seemingly warning him not to tell anyone what had happened that day.
Lu Wuyai pursed his lips, then suddenly looked at Su Xi: "Why are you here?"
“A group of survivors came up from the rocky hill,” Ye Meng said.
"Who is it?" Lu Wuyai and Yu Yuxia asked in unison.
"I don't know either. A bunch of foreigners. Yu Yuxin, you should have some influence over the passengers. You seem to be from the United States, right?"
"The Kingdom of Eagles." Gu Yuxin frowned. She really couldn't recall having such a group of scammers on flight ZL327.
Soon, the three of them jogged towards the rocky mountain. Before they even reached the woods, a blonde, blue-eyed woman jumped out of the bushes and bumped into Lu Wuyai.
At that moment, Lu Wuyai felt as if he had been bounced away by a ball. When he saw the other person's situation clearly, he couldn't help but swallow hard.
This was a woman with a crooked, hourglass figure. Her legs were full. Her skin wasn't wheat-colored, but almost milky white, and her breasts were so swollen they seemed about to burst.
Even more terrifying, the woman was wearing a crop top that exposed her midriff, and there was a fatal dent in her chest that was simply irresistible.
The woman lay on the ground, clutching her chest with both hands. When she looked at Lu Wuyai, her eyes were filled with deep wariness.
Almost simultaneously, several more burly men appeared in the forest. They were clearly chasing the woman.
The atmosphere changed the moment the two sides met. The hunched-over men all narrowed their eyes. Especially when they saw Su Xi and Gu Yuxin, their eyes immediately revealed a greedy look, and they began to sizing them up, occasionally uttering a few unclear words. The unfamiliar foreign language made it all seem absurd.
Soon, a tall man walked over and put his arm around Su Xi's waist. The expression on his face disgusted even Lu Wuyai.
The next second, the black muzzle of a gun was pressed against the opponent's forehead. The cold touch of death made the man raise his hands on the spot, an embarrassed smile on his face.
"Get out." Su Xi shouted coldly, her expression completely blank.
The other party hesitated, but after confirming again that it was a real gun, he turned and left the forest.
On the grass, Lu Wuyai had already gotten up. The blonde girl opposite him thanked Su Xi and turned to leave.
But after taking a few steps, the woman turned back, her eyes hesitant.
Perhaps out of curiosity, or perhaps because they were both women, Su Xi and Yu Yuxia took the initiative to communicate with the woman, speaking fluently in Eagle Language.
As a result, Lu Wuyai noticed that the expressions of the two women gradually became unfamiliar.
Seeing that the other person was still talking, Lu Wuyai couldn't help but ask Yu Yuxia what exactly happened.
"You won't believe it, but this woman is actually Anna, a famous singer from Eagle Township who survived a shipwreck." Yu Yuxia shook her head and sighed.
“I don’t care who she is or what happened.” Lu Wuyai had no interest in those singers. He remembered there were some minor singers on the plane, but now they were all dead.
"It was a shipwreck. The ship sank and drifted to this deserted island. If we're counting the time, it must have been about a month ago." Yu Yuxia's eyes were always fixed on the fair-skinned and beautiful Anna, a hint of excitement in her gaze. She used to be a fan of Anna, but now she had encountered Anna on a deserted island. It was simply unbelievable.
"Where are those people from earlier?" Lu Wuyai frowned.
"She seems to be a survivor from the same cruise ship. As for why you're chasing her, you can figure that out yourself. Men are animals that think with their lower bodies... humph."
Lu Wuyai put on an innocent expression, but his eyes were fixed on Anna, and he was still recalling the feeling of the two of them colliding earlier.
"Indeed, she's a cow; no one else has that physique," Lu Wuyai clicked his tongue. Anna's inner qualities are truly extraordinary. This man gets excited just thinking about it. No wonder those old swindlers look like they've been starving for a long time.
Over there, the conversation between Su Xi and Anna gradually came to an end.
Su Xi turned to us and said, "Anna wants us to protect her; her people are afraid that the sperm has taken over her body."
“We all have so many things to take care of ourselves, you have to help her.” Lu Wuyai instinctively wanted to refuse. Although Anna was sexy and eye-catching, she couldn’t agree just because her life was in danger.
Su Xi nodded, looking at Lu Wuyai with a hint of appreciation, which made Lu Wuyai a little excited.
"However, this woman said she has discovered a hidden cave and she can take us there," Su Xi added in another message.
Lu Wuyai and Yu Yuxin exchanged glances. They had lived on the deserted island for nearly three months and knew the importance of a cave. If this information was correct, their life on the island would be much easier.
There's no need to fear keeping watch at night, nor to worry about wind and rain. Even the safety of being hidden is better than fresh water and food.
At this point, Lu Wuyai asked another question: "Is this woman trustworthy? If this cave is real, has anyone else discovered it?"
Su Xi thought for a while and then chatted with Anna for a bit longer. Throughout the conversation, Lu Wuyai kept staring at the woman with full hips and a slender waist.
Finally, Su Xi told Lu Wuyai to return to the stone ball first, and then go to explore the cave early the next morning.
“Alright,” Lu Wuyai nodded, glanced at Anna, and said, “Let her stay with us for now.”
On the way back, the three of them couldn't help but sigh. They hadn't expected that, in addition to their plane crashing, a cruise ship had sunk near the deserted island, killing at least hundreds of people.
As for the survivors of the shipwreck, Anna said that their team consisted of eight people, five men and three women. The other two women had perished, so she was the luckiest one.
"It sounds awkward. Can't this woman say something more understandable?"
"Foreign devil." Lu Wuyai spat, but Yu Yuxin mocked him for not studying hard when he was in school and now he was shifting the blame to others.
As a result, Lu Wuyai and the others actually heard Anna's voice.
“Actually, I understand a little bit of your language,” Anna opened her mouth, her words were clear, but not fluent. Her voice sounded a bit like Song Xiaoyou’s.
Lu Wuyai had a strange expression on his face, feeling that Anna was looking at him with hostile eyes.
When we returned to the station in Shiqiu, it was almost dusk, and the sunlight was beginning to dim.
Lu Wuyai walked through the woods and saw some elderly people resting on the ground downstream of the stream. They were all tall, fat, and furry. From a distance, they looked like albino bear cubs that had just learned to walk upright.
Su Xi and Yu Yuxia couldn't help but laugh when they heard Lu Wuyai describe these people in this way.
"Alright, let's go back and start a fire to rest," Su Xi urged.
Because of the sudden arrival of these people from the Eagle Kingdom, Song Xiaoyou and his group left Shishan ahead of time and are currently resting among a pile of rocks upstream. Golden sunlight bathed the entire world, making it appear as if it were plated with gold.
Many people reacted with strange expressions to Anna's arrival, and some were even worried. After all, with one more person, there was another mouth to feed, and the food they received each day would largely depend on luck.
