Apart from that big black snake, it seems that no other animals come out of here.
After leaving the riverbank, Lu Wuyai found Song Xiaoyou and asked her to help set a trap in the water.
"You're worried that monsters will emerge from the radiation tunnels in the future."
“Alright,” Lu Wuyai said seriously, “I do have some ideas on this.”
It is connected to the underground island, or more precisely, to the Earth. No one can be certain what the future holds.
Soon, Song Xiaoyou personally set up a trap here using some ropes and kerosene bombs.
As for the underwater trap, since it's the first time it's been set up, no one can guarantee its reliability, but since it's been set up, that's that.
In the world of meditation, it's almost autumn now. The weather is cool, and there's a fresh scent in the air.
Half an hour later, everyone changed their clothes and headed in the same direction. Finally, before dark, they reached their destination: an exceptionally clean forest.
The area is open and has many trees, but they are not dense, especially the canopies. When it gets dark, you can look up and see a sky full of stars.
That is precisely why it is easy for people to discover and deal with danger once it occurs.
Furthermore, they discovered a vast stone forest here, where most of their stockpiled supplies were stored. Large wolfhounds guard the area. If anything unexpected happened, they would certainly be notified in advance.
"You're finally back." Jin Xilu and Gu Yuxin were both heavily pregnant. Due to certain reasons, the due dates of the three pregnant women, including Lin Xiaoxiao, had long passed, but none of them had given birth yet, although the fetal data had been very good.
Everyone was exhausted, so they went into the tent to wash up.
That night, everyone thought a lot. It seemed that from that moment on, their lives had nothing to do with Earth anymore.
Time quickly passed to the next day.
Almost no one slept well the night before, but everyone got up early, including the three little ones. Their minds are relatively simple, and being in a new environment only makes them more curious.
After breakfast, Lu Wuyai and a few others found a place to stay nearby.
Although the current location offers a wide view and can provide early warning, it is too exposed and is not a truly good place.
“Let’s go for a walk. You can continue organizing the supplies,” Lu Wuyai said.
Although all the supplies in the valley had been moved, in order to save time, many things were piled up haphazardly together, and could not be found when needed.
Actually, they've been doing this for a while now. Most of the accumulated supplies have already been sorted out, and the rest can be completed in the next few days.
Here, Lu Wuyai and the woman walked along a mountain path. The path was overgrown with weeds, and wolves and dogs led the way. Most animals gave way, except for a few carnivores that occasionally jumped out.
"The air here is indeed better than on Earth." Lu Wuyai took a deep breath and even felt that the air was sweet.
"It's good that there are no monsters," Old Wu said with a smile. Although there are many mutated creatures here, they are completely different from monsters.
Although both Earth and the Meditation World emit radiation, for living beings, this appears to be two divergences and two extremes on the path of evolution.
"Don't be careless."
Lu Wuyai reminded them that although the mutated creatures here were not extreme, their individual strength had not been weakened as a result. Even an ordinary pheasant had the ability to kill an elephant.
Everyone understood Lu Wuyai's well-intentioned reminder, and everyone became more vigilant.
After walking all morning, everyone noticed that the view ahead suddenly widened.
Ahead, a meadow appeared.
Although it's not very large, the delicate greenery is very soothing. Seeing the vibrant life here in this season is truly captivating.
“Come up and take a look,” Lu Wuyai said.
The grass grows high on the mountain, and against the backdrop of blue sky and white clouds, everything looks exceptionally vibrant.
Soon, everyone reached the top of the mountain and discovered a green forest not far away.
"Are you, the land beneath our feet, an island or a continent?"
Having lived on the island for so many years, Gu Yuxin's words still give one pause for thought.
“Let’s go for a walk. Come to think of it, we’ve never encountered a beach when we’ve meditated before,” Lu Wuyai said.
Yes, I've meditated so many times before, but I've never seen a beach.
As dusk fell, everyone returned to their base, carrying many pheasants and rabbits.
Although there is plenty of red meat in the reserve, wild animals taste better when cooked.
"What are your plans for tomorrow?" Su Xi asked.
"I'm just driving around, hoping to find a place like a valley." As he spoke, Lu Wuyai looked around and noticed that as the light dimmed, many green eyes appeared in the forest.
There seem to be many wolves in this forest.
it hurts.
With a few low growls from the wolfhound, the predators lurking nearby vanished.
"This is really not a place for humans to live."
The next day, Lu Wuyai and the others set off again, driving along the riverbank in search of something.
Because the road was flat and there was little forest, Lu Wuyai and the others did not stop that day until night fell, when the car stopped in a grove of trees.
"I'm not going back today, let's just camp here." Lu Wuyai got out of the car, and the people in the other cars got out one after another, setting up tents directly on the roof of the car.
In the car, Song Xiaoyou opened the book. It contained a densely packed route map, showing the places they had traveled in the surrounding area recently.
"Are there any maps that overlap with previous ones?" Lu Wuyai asked.
But Song Xiaoyou shook her head directly and said, "There is nothing in that direction yet."
As she spoke, she opened another map, which depicted the route she had taken on her last trip to the savage tribe.
"In fact, the savage tribes seem to be the most suitable places to settle. The terrain there is not visible from the outside, but can be observed from the inside."
However, the savage tribe is no longer the same as before. It has been occupied by a group of humans, although those humans are not scary to Lu Wuyai and the others.
Then, Lu Wuyai thought of the place where the savages were currently living, which seemed like a good place to stay.
"There's water, and the place is secluded enough."
"Furthermore, the barbarians treated us very well and were a good neighbor."
Lu Wuyai's words resonated with everyone.
So early the next morning, everyone changed direction and rushed towards the waterfall where the savage tribe was located.
Speaking of that place, Lu Wuyai was still thinking about that little silver fish, whose energy was more than that of honey.
Around noon, the convoy stopped in a dense forest. If Lu Wuyai remembered correctly, there should be a waterfall not far away.
From here, vehicles cannot enter the forest; they must walk.
Half an hour later, Lu Wuyai heard a muffled sound of water.
“We’ve arrived.” Lu Wuyai breathed a sigh of relief. Now he could see the cave as soon as he looked up, but there were still many black bears roaming around nearby, seemingly catching silverfish in the water.
As for the others, they also saw a river. It wasn't particularly large, but it wasn't small either.
Following Lu Wuyai down into the river, everyone heard the roar of the water.
"The sound of the water is so strange; I could never hear it before."
"Yes, your voice won't be heard at all if you don't get close."
"Magic. It's kind of like a silver bar effect."
Among everyone present, Lu Wuyai remained relatively calm. Although he couldn't explain the cause of this situation, this wasn't the first time he had seen a waterfall like this.
“Savage, near the waterfall,” Lu Wuyai said.
Soon, everyone walked down the mountain path and arrived at the swimming pool below in less than half an hour.
The pond was deep, but they found no trace of the wild man nearby. Lu Wuyai speculated that the wild man might be hiding. After all, this was a water source, and there must be many animals nearby.
Afterwards, everyone dispersed and searched the vicinity for traces of savage activity.
It was still early, and it was midday, so the animals in the forest were very active, especially cold-blooded animals such as crocodiles and venomous snakes, which often appeared in the bushes.
"The living environment here is really not good," Lu Wuyuan said. However, compared to ordinary people, these animals did not pose any threat to her, taking herself as an example.
“Barbarians are not vegetarians. They have weapons and can hunt some giant beasts that we don’t know about.”
You must know that there are many enormous skulls on Bone Mountain. These were killed by the ancestors of savages, and some were even killed by savages today.
Never underestimate any intelligent being. This was Lu Wuyai's awakening after the disaster.
Behind the crowd, Song Xiaoyou kept drawing a map, and her notebook gradually filled up.
“There is some overlap here with our previous accompanying map.”
"...should be the same."
Upon hearing this, Lu Wuyai asked, "Are there any more suitable places to live nearby?"
“There are quite a few, let’s go take a look together.”
"Okay, let's go take a look together."
Lu Wuyai nodded, and Song Xiaoyou led the group on the rest of the journey. The group followed her over mountains and valleys, constantly appearing in the vicinity.
Song Xiaoyou had all the maps of their journey in his mind, and he could scan and compare them no matter where they went.
“There should be a washbasin in front,” said Song Xiaoyou.
Everyone looked ahead and spotted a pit. It wasn't very big, but it was deep enough. There was no wildlife droppings nearby, indicating that it was relatively safe.
But even in such places, there is still no trace of savage life.
There is a canyon ahead.
Soon, led by Song Xiaoyou, everyone saw a canyon hidden deep in the mountains. Although it wasn't very large, it had already been occupied by a group of monkeys.
"Let's go take another look ahead."
The route was clear in her memory, so Song Xiaoyou didn't panic and led the people there one by one.
Finally, darkness fell, and everyone saw a small light. As they continued forward, the light grew stronger.
Standing in the forest, they looked at each other, realizing that the area ahead might be where the savages lived.
“Let’s go take a look,” Lu Wuyai said. Unlike before, the barbarians they encountered this time were made of flesh and blood.
Soon, Lu Wuyai led the way closer and closer, and after a few minutes, something appeared in the forest ahead.
"etc"
Lu Wuyai, who was walking forward, immediately stopped because he noticed a barbed wire fence in front of him, and the fire was coming out of an iron barrel.
All of this seems to have nothing to do with barbarians; they probably wouldn't use these things.
Soon, Song Xiaoyou came up. Her eyesight was very sharp, and she could catch more things in a short time.
There are shoe prints on the ground.
“There was blood on the grass outside.”
"There is a corpse in the bushes about 20 meters to the left."
At this moment, Lu Wuyai and the others frowned. What was happening here seemed to be different from what they had imagined.
"Be careful, something's up," Lu Wuyai said.
"What's wrong."
"It seems different from what we imagined."
At this point, Lu Wuyai had already walked to the bushes and reached out to pull the body out.
"He's a savage."
Although it was unexpected, Lu Wuyai had considered the worst possible outcome.
The corpse of a wild man in the jungle explains many things.
“Anything left.” Lu Wuyai’s cold voice rang out.
In the darkness, the women searched and soon discovered one corpse after another, but most of them were men, and very few were women.
Several female corpses were dismembered beyond recognition.
“There are a total of 13 bodies, 10 men and 3 women.” Song Xiaoyou’s voice was calm, but she seemed very depressed.
Are they all barbarians?
“They are all savages; not one of them is a modern man.”
The dim firelight flickered in the forest, reflecting the anger on everyone's faces.
Among these dead barbarians were many familiar faces, but now they were all dead.
"I'll go check, please wait patiently." Lu Wuyai left the bushes. To avoid alerting others, the discovered body remained untouched.
Soon, Lu Wuyai appeared on the canopy of a giant tree, facing the flickering firelight.
The first thing that catches the eye is several savages hanging from trees. Their limbs are tightly bound with hemp ropes, and they look quite miserable.
In addition, there were many tents surrounded by barbed wire, which did look quite safe.
After waiting a while, police officers appeared in the woods, some carrying guns and others carrying iron bars. It seemed that not everyone had firearms.
In addition, Lu Wuyai also saw the bone spear. There weren't many of them, and he didn't know whether the other party had stolen them from the savages or obtained them through other means.
After observing for half an hour, he left and followed behind him.
When the women saw Lu Wuyai return, they immediately went to greet him and asked if there were any savages still alive.
“There should be, but there are many people there, and the trees are dense, blocking out a lot of things.” This time, Lu Wuyai didn’t approach. His sixth sense told him that this camp was somewhat dangerous.
Of course, it's just a little dangerous.
After discussion, everyone decided to split into two teams. One group, led by Lu Wuyai, would enter the camp to search for traces of other savages.
Another group led by Song Xiaoyou was observing nearby. They would provide immediate support to Lu Wuyai and the others should any sudden danger be detected.
"Don't worry." Lu Wuyai told the women to relax, actually to calm their anger.
Most people have deep ties to barbarian tribes, so they are very angry when they see the corpses of barbarians.
“Kill these little turtles,” Su Xi said angrily.
Soon, Lu Wuyai led them forward, and in the blink of an eye, they were close to the camp again.
The wire mesh was not very dense, and most of it was rusty.
Therefore, everyone easily cut the barbed wire with pliers, and then people came in from the outside.
"Be careful." Lu Wuyai's sixth sense was triggered again, but it quickly disappeared, which made him very curious about what in this camp was frightening him.
You should know that Lu Wuyai is now feeling very comfortable in the world of tranquility.
However, he did not tell anyone about this feeling.
First of all, everyone has a lot to do lately, and Lu Wuyai doesn't want to trouble others.
Secondly, this feeling was very comfortable, and Lu Wuyai did not think it was a bad thing.
Just then, Lu Wuyai, who was standing near the barbed wire fence, glanced around and then led the woman toward a grove of trees ahead.
The camp was large, and the people inside hadn't cleared the vegetation. Most of it had been preserved and was now providing cover for Lu Wuyai and his group.
“In the tree.” Lu Wuyai made a gesture, then disappeared into the darkness in a few quick movements like a monkey.
Not long after, a group of patrolmen appeared nearby.
At this moment, Lu Wuyai discovered something strange.
For example, it's a bit unbelievable that these patrol officers walk without making a sound.
Furthermore, the other person's body shape was different from normal. The chest area protruded outwards, then suddenly narrowed at the abdomen. It felt very wrong.
In conclusion, this group of patrolling humans is abnormal.
Soon, Lu Wuyai led the way down from the tree, creating a canopy that blocked out the sun. He only noticed that the patrolmen always seemed to be looking in a certain direction.
"Don't come down yet," Lu Wuyai said in a low voice, then slipped into a nearby tent by himself.
The surrounding firelight was quite strong, casting exceptionally long shadows. Besides the patrol officers, there were also some night watchmen. This was the most troublesome aspect for Lu Wuyai.
But he was prepared. He took some white powder out of his backpack and threw it into the metal bucket.
In less than three seconds, the intense flames began to subside. The powder turned out to be something similar to a fire extinguisher, only more effective.
In the dim firelight, Lu Wuyai's figure became blurry. Soon after, the group hid in the jungle.
Lu Wuyai frowned. There was a distinct smell of blood on the grass. He bent down to search and found many animal bones. Judging from the marks, they appeared to be the remains of dead animals, and some even had human teeth and bite marks on them.
"Eat it raw." The group exchanged bewildered glances. These bite marks were definitely not left by modern humans. Clearly, there were other creatures nearby, and they immediately thought of savages.
Soon, led by Lu Wuyai, the group searched and soon discovered a cellar.
Here, everyone can clearly smell the pungent, fishy odor.
"This smells bad too."
"Keep your voice down," Song Xiaoyou said quickly. She immediately noticed that there were many more hidden tents nearby than before. It seemed that this place was the main camp of this camp.
