Along the way, perhaps because the temperature had dropped, the autumn air was crisp and refreshing, and the scents in the air were very pleasant. Without the summer heat, everything was very comfortable.
Lu Wuyai drove for several hours until the car stopped in a dense forest.
By the time he got out of the car, it was already very dark. Lu Wuyai simply packed up and slept in the car that night, having nothing else to do.
Early the next morning, Lu Wuyai drove the car deeper into the forest.
Although nothing particularly unusual happened on the road, Lu Wuyai still saw many corpses, including both animals and humans.
As the number of survivors on the desert island increased, the death toll also began to rise.
"This winter, many people will probably die again." Lu Wuyai shook his head and continued driving through the dense forest.
This time, Lu Wuyai traveled at a leisurely pace, trying to find a suitable route to drive the vehicle directly to Black Stone Mountain.
When Lu Wuyai left Blackrock Mountain last time, he deliberately used a drone to observe the surrounding area. He did find that some parts of Blackrock Mountain were relatively open, but whether he could drive all the way to the foot of the mountain was something Lu Wuyai would have to explore on his own.
Lu Wuyai predicted that the underground caves would need black stones for a considerable period of time. To facilitate travel and transport more stones at once, the best way was to find an open mountain path so that he could travel between the two locations within a day.
At noon, Lu Wuyai sat in his car and used the speed of a drone to find a suitable route in the vicinity.
It would take a person half a day just to walk from here to Black Cloud Mountain.
As the drone flew over the treetops, some scenes in the surrounding area became clearly visible.
On the road ahead, Lu Wuyai began driving through the forest. Occasionally, he would get out of the car and cut down some small trees to widen the mountain road for the vehicle.
And so, until nightfall, Lu Wuyai finally cleared a mountain path leading directly to Black Cloud Mountain.
The car lights were off. Lu Wuyai got out of the car and scouted Black Stone Mountain. After confirming that no one was there, he drove the van into Black Stone Mountain.
Lu Wuyai spent the first half of the night moving stones.
During the transport, Lu Wuyai discovered numerous footprints on the ground. Clearly, someone had come to Blackstone Mountain to move stones during this period, or perhaps during the day.
"After thinking about it, it must be the same group of people from before."
Lu Wuyai still remembered where that group of people were stationed. Just as he was wondering whether he should go and take a look, a deep voice suddenly came from the air.
Lu Wuyai stood on the mountainside, gazing into the forest. Then, a black bear emerged from the darkness. It was three meters tall. However, this was incomparable to the epic black bears he had previously seen in another forest.
But later, he actually saw a black bear eating stones.
"All right."
This bizarre scene left Lu Wuyai completely dumbfounded. These days, the fighting power of a black bear is absolutely unmatched on a deserted island. It wasn't searching for blood; it had come here to eat rocks.
So, Lu Wuyai patiently observed and discovered that the black bear showed no discomfort after eating the stones. Instead, it let out a burp and fell asleep at the foot of the mountain.
The black bear was entrenched at the foot of Black Stone Mountain, which made it extremely inconvenient for Lu Wuyai to move the stones.
Because there was a pickup truck not far from where the other person was sleeping.
Lu Wuyai thought for a while, then took out a pistol from his pocket, put on a silencer, and shot the black bear that came down from the mountain dead.
Looking at the dead black bear, Lu Wuyai felt a pang of regret. If they had been closer to the rocky mountain, they could have had a delicious meal together.
The temperature is still quite high, so Lu Wuyai can't bring the black bear back.
After killing the black bear, Lu Wuyai continued his unfinished work, loading a large quantity of black stones into the truck bed. To carry enough stones, Lu Wuyai also brought three planks to raise the truck bed and reinforced it with wire mesh.
In this way, he can bring twice as many black stones.
After filling up the tank, Lu Wuyai took out several black bags from the driver's seat, filled them with black stones, and tied them to the roof of the vehicle.
At three in the morning, Lu Wuyai could finally rest. He leaned against the black bear, feeling weak all over.
At that moment, a feeling of hunger welled up in his stomach. Lu Wuyai glanced at the bear paw and couldn't help but lick his lips.
So at the foot of the mountain, Lu Wuyai chopped off a bear's paw and started a fire to cook.
"It smells really good."
Soon, Lu Wuyai couldn't help but admire the aroma emanating from it. He hadn't expected that such a simple charcoal-grilled bear paw would smell so delicious.
He ate four bear paws in one go, then patted his belly and marveled at how delicious food was everywhere in nature.
"It's dawn."
Lu Wuyai wiped the hair off his mouth, looked at the corpse on the ground, took out a dagger, and cut off the most tender part of the bear's body.
Soon, Lu Wuyai took one last look at the noticeably smaller Black Cloud Mountain, then drove a small truck toward the stone mountain.
Because the mountain path ended there, Lu Wuyai returned safely to the cave below the vegetable garden at dusk that day.
At this moment, the setting sun casts its golden light on the ground, like a layer of gold leaf.
As soon as Yuxin and Xia Qingming crawled out of the cave, they saw the familiar pickup truck and wore charming smiles.
"Unload it."
Lu Wuyai got out of the car and gave Li a big hug, almost making Li breathless.
Gu Yuxin said enviously, "I want one too."
So Lu Wuyai gave her a warm hug, which made the girl's face seem to be covered in blood from embarrassment.
"Don't lead others astray." Yu Xin slapped Lu Wuyai across the face.
Lu Wuyai laughed and let go of her hand, then turned sideways and hugged Yuxin, startling her into thinking he was about to do something.
After playing around in the area for a while, Lu Wuyai began to use the light before sunset to stuff all the black stones from the pickup truck into the hole.
The appearance of a large number of black stones made the two of them cover their mouths. They hadn't expected Lu Wuyai to bring so many stones all at once.
"I must go to Blackstone Mountain again tomorrow," Lu Wuyai said firmly.
Blackstone Mountain was clearly smaller. It's easy to see that those people really needed those black stones. There must be some special reason for it.
Although he didn't understand it very well, Lu Wuyai knew that he needed to get more black stones now.
It wasn't until dark that the three of them finished tidying up the stones in the cave and returned to the rocky mountain through the tunnel.
At this moment, seeing Lu Wuyai return, Su Xi and the others all breathed a sigh of relief.
Inside the cave, Lu Wuyai also found many herbs that looked like they had just been picked from the ground.
"You went to get the medicine?" Lu Wuyai asked.
“Okay,” Su Xi explained, “Many medicinal herbs grew in the nearby woods, probably around autumn.”
"We also found cordyceps, and there are many cordyceps on the bare cliffs."
Upon hearing this, Lu Wuyai noticed a small black box on the table, filled with pale yellow cordyceps. This stuff couldn't be cultivated with black stone, making it the most peculiar item.
Simply put, this is just an auxiliary material for plant extracts, and not much of it is needed.
“Actually, deserted islands are really strange.” Moro raised his head, his large, exotic eyes filled with a captivating glow.
"How so?"
“It is difficult for something like cordyceps to appear in an environment like a deserted island, but in reality, this island not only has cordyceps, but also a lot of it.”
Gu Yuxin's words didn't seem particularly significant to anyone. It wasn't until many years later, when we looked back on this scene, that we realized that many times, subtle clues had already explained everything.
Back in the present, Lu Wuyai checked the time and found it was already seven o'clock. He hadn't eaten all day, so he took out bear meat from the bamboo basket on his back. Only then did he realize that the car hadn't broken down after driving all day.
While eating, Lu Wuyai recounted the story of seeing a black bear eating a black stone the previous night. Many people thought it was a joke. Only Gu Yuxin seemed a little surprised and thoughtful.
The cave was quiet that night, and the gentle sea breeze blowing in from outside swept across the mountains like a lullaby.
Lu Wuyai embraced Gu Yuxin, smelled the faint fragrance in the air, and had a rare sweet dream.
But when he woke up the next day, Lu Wuyai found that Mei was gone, which was very unusual.
After getting up and arriving at the cave, Lu Wuyai discovered that Gu Yuxin was only wearing a bathrobe, her smooth back exposed to the air, as if it could glow.
Lu Wuyai walked over and hugged the other person from behind, but when he saw the other person's face clearly, he was startled.
What should have been Gu Yuxin's face was instead replaced by a rat's head on her graceful body.
yes.
Lu Wuyai broke out in a cold sweat and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead. Only then did he realize that he had been having a nightmare.
He looked down at Gu Yuxin, who was sleeping, and took a long breath as he thought about what happened last night.
Aside from plane crashes, Lu Wuyai rarely had nightmares. The thrill he felt just now lingered in his mind.
After regaining his senses, Lu Wuyai lay back down, wrapped his arms around Gu Yuxin's slender waist, and felt the pressure of the woman's breasts. The evil fire that had subsided began to slowly rise again.
"Lu Wuyai, it's already dawn..."
"You bastard."
The meowing sounds were especially touching at this dawn.
In the morning, Lu Wuyai took Yu Mengru and Jin Xilu and drove away as quickly as possible in a pickup truck and an SUV.
That evening, they arrived at Black Cloud Mountain and found it teeming with people. The clanging sounds they heard were clearly from the process of obtaining the black stone.
The women got out of the car and stretched their legs to relieve the numbness caused by driving for a long time.
"Wait until nightfall." Lu Wuyai glanced at the group and finally led the women back to the pickup truck.
As darkness fell, Lu Wuyai discovered that the two women were still sleeping, so he went into Black Stone Mountain alone and began moving stones.
On a dark night, unless they have night vision, ordinary people simply won't come out in the dark.
At this moment, there are no more stone fragments left in Black Stone Mountain, so Lu Wuyai needs to dig out this stone mountain himself.
When he left, Lu Wuyai had already prepared his tools.
Unlike the group from the daytime, Lu Wuyai brought a generator and an electric drill. These two items were extremely convenient for excavating this mountain.
In fact, the black stone is not hard; it is even softer than ordinary pebbles.
Lu Wuyai stepped onto the ground and found a suitable stone halfway up the mountain. He started the generator and electric drill and began to carefully separate the stones.
It has to be said that compared to those people at dusk, the tools in Lu Wuyai's hands seem to be deceiving people.
A few minutes later, a huge boulder slid down from the mountainside and landed on the ground with a dull thud.
Seeing that the rock surface was uneven, Lu Wuyai continued to dig with the electric drill.
Half an hour later, the sound of stones colliding probably woke up Gu Yuxin and Jin Xilu, who were sleeping.
Soon, the two women got off the truck and came to the mountainside, taking Lu Wuyai's place, each holding an electric drill.
As for Lu Wuyai, he had already reached the foot of the mountain, and one vehicle after another drove into Black Stone Mountain, and then began to move the Black Stone continuously.
It must be said that most of the rocks cut by the electric drill were enormous. Apart from Lu Wuyai, no other woman could withstand them.
An hour later, Yu Mengru and Jin Xilu had to stop. The continuous digging had made their hands tremble. Their physical strength and endurance were far inferior to those of Lu Wuyai.
So Lu Wuyai came down from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside again and took over the work of the two women.
Before I knew it, it was already late at night.
It's autumn now, and the nights are much cooler than the days. A mountain breeze carries a faint scent of the sea.
“You guys go and rest in the car. These stones are enough for me to carry until three o’clock.” Lu Wuyai pointed to the rubble at the foot of the mountain. The pile there was high enough to fill three cars.
Jin Xilu touched her arm, raising goosebumps on her skin. After hearing Lu Wuyai's words, she hid in the pickup truck.
“You go in too,” Lu Wuyai said to Gu Yuxin.
But in reality, Gu Yuxin completely ignored him and continued to smash the stone with the electric drill. Before long, she stood there crying. Lu Wuyai couldn't take it anymore.
"Yu Mengrou, what's wrong?"
"Are you feeling unwell?" Lu Wuyai asked with concern.
Gu Yuxin turned her head away with red eyes, as if she didn't want Lu Wuyai to see her crying.
In the darkness, Lu Wuyai noticed that Yu Mengrou seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and he secretly thought that he hadn't cared about her for a long time.
I think that if they hadn't supported each other back then, they might have both died at sea.
So, Lu Wuyai stepped forward and took Gu Yuxin's shoulder. She struggled, but Lu Wuyai's large hand was strong, almost forcing Gu Yuxin right in front of him.
"What happened to you."
Sometimes, men will never understand what women are thinking.
In the blink of an eye, Yu Mengrou started crying loudly, hitting Lu Wuyai repeatedly to vent the grievances and dissatisfaction she had been feeling for a while.
Lu Wuyai took a breath and kept stroking Yu Mengrou's back with his palm, saying sorry, but he didn't even know what he had done wrong.
She didn't know how much time had passed when Yu Mengrou raised her head, looked at Lu Wuyai who looked dejected, and couldn't help but laugh.
"Why are you laughing again?" Lu Wuyai gritted his teeth, wondering if Yu Mengru was possessed by a demon or monster.
You're a fool.
Yu Mengrou shook her head, looking at the dark surroundings, and suddenly realized that standing with Lu Wuyai was really comfortable.
A mountain breeze blew by, and Yu Mengrou touched her arm, then found that Lu Wuyai had hugged her again, a warm embrace that was intoxicating.
Supporting his swaying body, Lu Wuyai was surprised to find that Yu Mengrou's figure was far more shocking than he had seen before.
"She has such a great figure..."
"What did you say?" Gu Yuxin raised an eyebrow, staring at Lu Wuyai and making him look directly at her. She immediately denied that she hadn't spoken.
snort
Gu Yuxin turned and walked down the hillside, muttering that Lu Wuyai was a big jerk.
Time passed by, and around three in the morning, Lu Wuyai finally loaded all the stones onto the truck without leaving any gaps.
Blackstone Mountain has shrunk considerably. Lu Wuyai thinks that when they return next time, it may have become a low mound.
Lu Wuyai started the vehicles and carefully drove the three cars into the dense forest. Then he closed the windows, locked the doors, and began to rest.
The next day, sunlight pierced the darkness, and the light in the forest gradually became brighter.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Lu Wuyai and the other three woke up from their sleep, then drove their vehicle and quickly left the forest.
Before leaving Blackrock Mountain, Lu Wuyai saw some human activity through the rearview mirror, but he did not expect that the other party would come to collect the Blackrock so early.
But considering the other side's tools, they probably wouldn't be able to break as many stones in a single day as they could in one night.
The car cruised leisurely along the mountain road. Lu Wuyai kept a close eye on his surroundings, remaining constantly vigilant for any potential dangers.
The forest is not as peaceful as it seems.
With a bang.
Suddenly, a gunshot rang out, and Lu Wuyai slammed on the brakes, causing the SUV behind him to stop as well.
A flock of startled birds took flight, and the surrounding environment instantly became eerily quiet.
Lu Wuyai slightly opened the window, turned off the ignition, locked the car door, and listened intently to the sounds around him.
Behind him, Yu Mengru and Jin Xilu simultaneously turned off the engine, locked the car doors, and leaned against the steering wheel. The tension in their hearts gradually increased.
Lu Wuyai narrowed his eyes. Then he noticed more footprints on the path he had taken. He could hear occasional murmurs around him, but he couldn't make out the words. The specific vocabulary was unclear.
Lu Wuyai quickly restarted the vehicle, but this time, instead of continuing forward, he chose to retreat.
In less than a minute, a group of survivors suddenly jumped out of the woods on both sides and began smashing vehicles. Lu Wuyai also noticed that many of them were carrying guns. The number of firearms was astonishing.
"So many guns."
Seeing this, Lu Wuyai broke out in a cold sweat, but he soon realized that those people holding guns hadn't even fired their weapons.
At this moment, Lu Wuyai suddenly realized that the other party probably didn't have many bullets and was just using the reputation of guns and bullets to scare people.
After reversing only a short distance, Lu Wuyai suddenly shifted into gear and stepped on the gas. The engine noise instantly drowned out all other sounds.
