He was very familiar with the environment here, and he could walk some of the roads with his eyes closed, but he became cautious again after discovering the survivors in the container.
Perhaps someone is temporarily living in a shipping container high in the sky. They might be kind, or they might be villains and thugs.
“Right now, it seems that not even half of the containers have been opened,” Lu Wuyai said.
At this moment, Lu Wuyai was not in a hurry to open the blind box, but continued to look at the sticker on the box not far away.
Lu Wuyai could basically identify all the familiar words, and occasionally he would come up with something unusual that would catch his attention.
Lu Wuyai set up a ladder, climbed onto the container on the third floor, and fired a shot that broke the safety pin.
Inside the iron gate were machines that Lu Wuyai couldn't understand, but he could tell that they seemed to be some kind of surgical facility. The material was matte, very hard, and the design was exquisite. They were covered with film and instruction manuals.
Lu Wuyai looked at it for a while, then left the box. Before leaving, he took the instruction manual with him, intending to show it to Gu Yuxin. Perhaps she could tell him what it was.
With thousands of containers, there are always many surprises waiting for them.
In the following time, Lu Wuyai changed his clothes twice more, opened some boxes, and unexpectedly found some books, which he then collected to pass the time.
It was already noon when we got back to the cabin.
Everyone's tired of eating the lean meat sauce steamed buns from the hot pot.
"Let's steam some eggs tonight," Lu Wuyai said. He had found some eggs, not many. Judging by the production date, they were actually quite old, but thankfully, the Ice Crystal Storm had extended their shelf life.
There is a separate large generator inside the cabin, which everyone can make full use of.
Everyone took a nap at noon, and when they woke up it was already 3 pm.
At six o'clock in the evening, the women prepared dinner. Lu Wuyai dressed and went to the deck. He cleaned the nearby bamboo shoots and put the extracted ice crystals into a bucket. They couldn't afford to waste any opportunity to get water now.
Back in the cabin, it was time for dinner.
Song Xiaoyou and the others fried eggs and cooked steak. They looked very happy and seemed to really want to eat Western food.
Considering Lu Wuyai's large appetite, Ouyang Qing steamed more than a dozen buns for him to eat with pickled vegetables or fermented bean curd.
Su Xi said, "I want to eat dumplings."
“Do it yourself,” Lu Wuyai said.
Watching the other person stand up and leave, Lu Wuyai looked at the steamed buns in his hand and said, "Give me a few too."
"Do it yourself." Su Xi shook her head, leaving Lu Wuyai to turn around gracefully.
......
At this very moment, in the cave at the foot of the rocky mountain, three women are still awake.
"It's been almost two months." Su Xi frowned, saying anxiously, "They still haven't returned. Could something have happened to them?"
“We can’t possibly come back in this weather.” Su Xi shook her head. Even if she were still alive, there would be no transportation.
Xia Qingming hugged Rou Rou. The little one was already asleep, and the adults spoke in hushed tones.
"I have a feeling that something has happened between them recently." Su Xi's eyes reddened, and she subconsciously touched her stomach with her palm, Lu Wuyai's image appearing in her mind.
"Relax, they'll be fine." Su Xi held Su Xi's hand, looking at the cement at the entrance of the hole. For a moment, she felt the air was incredibly oppressive.
Xia Qingming also comforted Su Xi: "Sister, you can't think too much, something bad will happen."
Su Xi nodded, her eyes shining with determination. She looked forward to Lu Wuyai and the others returning.
"I really don't know what Lu Wuyai would think if he knew you were pregnant." Su Xi sighed as she looked at Su Xi's slightly protruding belly.
Su Xi thought a lot at the time. The day after Lu Wuyai and the others left, she suddenly discovered she was pregnant. Just then, an ice storm struck the deserted island, seemingly intent on destroying all life.
Yuri patted her stomach through her clothes and spoke in a voice only she could hear.
“My dear, you must pray that your father will come back alive.”
At this moment, the wind was howling on the deserted island, as if it wanted to blow Su Xi's words onto the cruise ship and into Lu Wuyai's ears.
With a bang.
Suddenly, a loud noise came from outside the ship, startling everyone who was engrossed in their meal.
Lu Wuyai gasped, startled even by himself. The sudden sound made it seem as if something had hit the hull of the ship.
But this wasn't the first time this had happened. In the strong winds, there was debris everywhere. Something heavy must have passed over the cruise ship.
"I was terrified." Su Xi patted her chest, and a large wave suddenly swept over her chest, making Lu Wuyai's eyes widen.
After finishing his meal, Lu Wuyai didn't go out again. Instead, he picked up a book and read it patiently.
The other women also began to kill time while cleaning up the mess at the table.
They searched through the luggage bag that Lu Wuyai had brought back at noon and found many things inside, including snacks, picture books, and other books.
Gu Yuxin suddenly noticed a booklet with something she had seen before on the cover. Out of curiosity, she opened it.
The next second, Gu Yuxin got excited and pulled Lu Wuyai over, asking him where he got this thing from.
Lu Wuyai put down his book, glanced suspiciously at what Gu Yuxin was holding, and suddenly remembered that this was the machine's instruction manual.
"You mean, there's a machine in the container that looks exactly like the one in the picture?" Gu Yuxin asked, her eyes wide.
Lu Wuyai looked at them and nodded. Although he hadn't carefully inspected every single machine part at the time, they were basically all the same.
"What's wrong with this machine? Why are you so agitated?"
"Don't talk nonsense. Look at the names in this manual."
Lu Wuyai picked up the booklet and read it twice, but he couldn't remember who the woman whose name was abbreviated as VVA was.
At this moment, Su Xi walked over, looked at it again, and said, "Moroy, is that your name? Even the surname is the same."
All right.
Lu Wuyai blinked, then remembered that Gu Yuxin's other name seemed to be this.
"Hmph, scumbag," Su Xi rolled her eyes at Lu Wuyai, and was very curious about the booklet.
Lu Wuyai rubbed his nose awkwardly, but still asked, "Why is your name on the instruction manual for this machine?"
Gu Yuxin: "Let's see, what's the name of the company that manufactures this machine?"
Turning to the last page of the booklet, Lu Wuyai discovered that the company that produced the machine was actually LG Technology Alliance Corporation.
"Actually, this machine was originally my graduation project," Gu Yuxin sighed.
"At that time, I was already an intern at LG Technology. My graduation project was a forward-facing operating table. Although it wasn't a smart operating table, it was definitely better than advanced operating platforms."
"It's just that it's so advanced that many things can't be produced, so even I forgot about it."
"Now, a machine exactly like the one I imagined has appeared here. What a twist of fate!"
At this moment, Gu Yuxin's eyes appeared unusually cold, but he quickly became excited again.
"With this operating table, even if you lose an arm or a leg in the future, I can treat you immediately," Gu Yuxin said excitedly.
Lu Wuyai poured cold water on the situation at the opportune moment: "You can't get out now. Your operating table will just have to be kept to collect dust. It's too big, and we don't know if it will be damaged during transportation."
“It won’t break.” Gu Yuxin said confidently, “Since this machine has already been produced, the materials must be top-notch, otherwise it can’t be put into use. LG isn’t that stupid.”
"Really?" Lu Wuyai asked doubtfully.
“Once the ice storm stops, this operating table must be brought back to the cave,” Morroy said.
Lu Wuyai nodded, got up and left the cabin, walking towards the bridge.
Through the glass, he could see the ice storm outside and lamented how insignificant humanity was in the face of nature.
As the night grew quiet and the women fell asleep, Lu Wuyai gradually felt tired.
......
In mid-March, ice storms continued to increase.
During this time, Lu Wuyai and the others opened the boxes and recorded the information on them, obtaining a large amount of supplies, but these supplies were destined not to be taken away in a short period of time.
"Why hasn't the ice storm gone away yet?" Su Xi stomped her feet in frustration in the cabin. She hadn't been out for a long time, and her body was practically rusting.
"Anyway, I'm going for a walk today." With that, Su Xi started getting dressed, eventually wrapping herself up like a dumpling.
Lu Wuyai rolled his eyes and said, "It's not that I didn't let you go out, it's because you couldn't stand the cold, so you ended up coming back."
Su Xi pouted, clearly unhappy with what Lu Wuyai said to her.
"This time, I'm sure I can keep up with you."
"Forget it." Lu Wuyai didn't want Su Xi to come along; this woman was too much of a monster.
“I don’t care. If you don’t let me go out, I’ll just sneak out by myself at night.”
Lu Wuyai felt dizzy for a while, but in the end he agreed to let Su Xi set off with him.
“Okay.” Su Xi made a peace sign, her face full of excitement.
At noon, when the temperature was at its highest, Lu Wuyai led Su Xi and Gu Yuxin out of the cockpit and headed towards the container.
"It's so cold." Su Xi shrank her neck; even though she was wearing warm clothes, she could still feel a deep chill.
"Let's go back when it gets cold," Lu Wuyai said.
“I won’t go back. I can hold on,” Su Xi said stubbornly.
"Do as you please, but don't get lost," Lu Wuyai reminded him.
Gu Yuxin took Su Xi's hand and told her to follow him and not get lost.
The storm outside was raging, but Lu Wuyai moved quickly. He needed to hurry and figure out what was inside those containers as soon as possible.
How much longer do we have to walk?
Along the way, Su Xi had asked no less than five times. Even though she was wrapped in a rice dumpling, she still felt a deep chill.
This time, even Gu Yuxin was too lazy to answer. There was still a long road ahead, and he had only gone halfway.
Upon arrival at their destination, Lu Wuyai opened a container, let the two women inside, and quickly helped them change their clothes, as half an hour had passed since they left the cabin, and their warm clothes were rapidly losing their temperature.
A few minutes later, Lu Wuyai also entered the container, took off his clothes in front of the two women, and put on a new set of warm clothes.
“Lu Wuyai,” Su Xi said pitifully, looking at Lu Wuyai. “I still feel very cold.”
Lu Wuyai glared at her and said, "If you move, you won't feel cold anymore. Don't make me sob."
"Either keep going, or stay in the container by yourself and wait for us to come back, then we'll go back together." As he spoke, Lu Wuyai pulled Gu Yuxin away, as if he really wanted to leave Su Xi alone.
Seeing this, Su Xi suddenly became anxious and ran towards Lu Wuyai, saying that she didn't want to stay in the container alone.
Lu Wuyai.
Su Xi hurriedly ran out, but a gust of wind blew in, and her eyes filled with ice crystals, making it impossible for her to see anything clearly.
After the storm passed, Su Xi saw no one else, which made her cry.
Su Xi had no choice but to return to the container and wait for Lu Wuyai and Gu Yuxin to come back and pick her up.
Here, Lu Wuyai and Lu Wuyai walked further and further away. Gu Yuxin would look back from time to time, but she could see nothing but ice crystals filling the sky.
"I really left Su Xi alone in the container," Gu Yuxin reminded Lu Wuyai.
“If not,” Lu Wuyai retorted, “every time we come out is torture. Does she really think it's just opening blind boxes and moving things around?”
The ice storm shows no signs of abating, making every trip outside an inhuman ordeal. Gu Yuxin and her companion are frequently left bruised and battered from the cold, looking quite unsightly. Fortunately, their recovery is astonishing, with no frostbite remaining.
The reason why Gu Yuxin and Lu Wuyai often went out together was because their physical fitness was much better than others.
Lu Wuyai's close relationship with them, coupled with his unique meditation on ancient paintings, can help his body develop resistance to external factors.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine." Lu Wuyai looked back and said, "Let's go home early today."
Gu Yuxin nodded, putting her worries about Su Xi aside, and began to follow Lu Wuyai seriously, taking notes of the unregistered containers as they walked.
And so, about half an hour later, Lu Wuyai and Gu Yuxin changed their clothes in a container and prepared to return to their cabin.
As he brushed past Su Xi, Lu Wuyai opened the container, looked at the empty space, and his expression changed.
Noticing Lu Wuyai's expression, Gu Yuxin paused, glanced at the dark box, and secretly felt that something bad was about to happen.
"Where did this woman go?" Lu Wuyai was speechless for a moment. He had thought she would stay where she was, but unexpectedly, she had disappeared.
Gu Yuxin was also worried, but he rationally said, "Let's go back to the cabin first. Maybe she went back first because she was afraid of the cold."
Lu Wuyai took a breath: "It's best to go back, otherwise she really will freeze to death."
The two of them jogged all the way back to the cabin in ten minutes, only to find out that Su Xi had not returned at all.
"Why did you abandon her?" Gu Yuxin stood up from the ground and looked at Lu Wuyai, feeling incredulous.
Lu Wuyai also had a dark expression on his face. To be honest, he really found Su Xi annoying, making her stay in the container to wait for him, but what he didn't expect was that the woman had disappeared.
"The warm clothes in her backpack will only last for five hours. If Su Xi isn't found in the next three hours, she might really freeze to death." Gu Yuxin seemed anxious and even cursed Lu Wuyai.
Seeing that Lu Wuyai's expression was not good, everyone quickly stepped forward to comfort him. The most important thing now was to find Su Xi; they didn't know where she had gone.
“She can only access the containers on the first floor at most, so I’ll go look for them now.” Lu Wuyai took a breath and thought to himself, “If it takes three hours, and I’m a little faster, that should be enough to search all the open containers on the first floor right now.”
Without delay, Lu Wuyai packed some warm clothes and quickly went out.
“I’ll go with you too,” Gu Yuxin said. “As for the others, it’s better to stay in the cabin. Too many people will make things more likely to happen.”
Lu Wuyai nodded, and the two divided the search area and began a rapid search.
Inside the cabin, Gu Yuxin and the others weren't idle either. They took turns arranging for people to wait in taxis, or so they could see Su Xi's reflection in the glass.
During the ice storm, Lu Wuyai entered the container and began a rapid search for Su Xi.
"Su Xi"
Lu Wuyai would occasionally call out. Although his voice didn't carry very far, he always hoped the other person could hear him.
During the unpacking process, the two also discovered that some boxes were filled with too many items. If Su Xi were really hiding inside them, she might not be able to find them, so they came up with a plan: to tap on the containers along the way.
Hopefully, they can find Su Xi quickly with the same response.
Time flew by. After the first hour, Lu Wuyai and Gu Yuxin changed their clothes in the container and set off again.
In that hour, they quickly searched the containers, opening almost two-thirds of them, but they still couldn't find Su Xi.
Lu Wuyai and Gu Yuxin were both getting anxious, wondering where Su Xi had gone.
The other party had no weapons and could not have broken the security bolts of the other containers.
Half an hour later, Lu Wuyai and Gu Yuxin met again. By then, they had searched all the containers on the first floor.
"Then let's go check the second floor." Lu Wuyai decided to go to the private rooms on the second floor to take a look, but the search speed would definitely be slower than on the first floor.
The ladder was nearby, and Lu Wuyai found it and started climbing. As for Gu Yuxin, she was still on the first floor looking for another person, because she was afraid of missing some details.
Lu Wuyai was panting heavily. He hadn't rested at all along the way. He even felt like he was suffocating from wearing a mask.
For the next hour and a half, Lu Wuyai and Gu Yuxin's hearts continued to sink, because there was still no news of Su Xi.
"Sigh, let's go back and check first." Lu Wuyai said, noticing that Gu Yuxin was still looking at him with a bad expression.
The two walked quickly, one in front of the other. When they returned to the cockpit, they found Gu Yuxin waiting for them inside.
