Lu Wuyai glanced at the rearview mirror, seemingly expressionless, but in reality, he was very disappointed in Su Xi.
After all, they knew each other and lived together, but this woman showed her no respect whatsoever.
Jin Xilu also said softly, "Don't be angry, Su Xi just doesn't understand."
"But the person on the other end of the phone is really just joking with you."
Lu Wuyai took a deep breath. Monkey wouldn't joke with him, and besides, Lu Wuyai knew from the few words he heard on the phone last night that the other party already thought he was dead.
The atmosphere became very gloomy, and Lu Wuyai continued driving along the beach for five hours.
The cars lay side by side on the ice. Lu Wuyai got out of his car and happened to see Su Xi roll down her window.
The two looked at each other, and for a moment, the scene was quiet.
"Hmph," Lu Wuyai snorted coldly, took an iron bar and scraped the snow off the tires to make sure they wouldn't slip on the way back.
The atmosphere in the team was oppressive. No one spoke up. Su Xi and Lu Wuyai looked dejected, as if everyone owed them 5 million.
“Okay.” Song Xiaoyou tugged at Lu Wuyai’s clothes, her big eyes seeming to speak, telling him to be a more manly man.
Lu Wuyai frowned and continued fiddling with the tire.
Ten minutes later, the team set off again. Lu Wuyai started the car and led the way in the direction they had come from.
However, in the car, Lu Wuyai looked at Su Xi and Song Xiaoyou behind him and felt quite depressed.
Who cares?
Lu Wuyai made a big fuss, and the car accelerated instantly.
Su Xi, sitting in the back row, crossed her arms, pouted her sexy red lips, as if she had a thousand grievances in her heart, and there were still tears in the corners of her eyes.
No one spoke, and the atmosphere continued to build.
Finally, at some point, Su Xi couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears in the carriage. Lu Wuyai experienced for the first time what it meant to possess the voice of a world-class soprano.
When he could no longer hold back, Lu Wuyai shouted, "You're crying. Shut up."
The car suddenly fell silent.
Lu Wuyai scratched his head. What happened today was just too damn messed up.
After this experience, the car was truly quiet.
Su Xi fell asleep in Song Xiaoyou's arms, tears welling in her eyes, showing how wronged she felt.
Lu Wuyai felt no guilt whatsoever. On the contrary, he started off with sarcasm and ridicule, which made Su Xi, who had calmed down, feel wronged again.
"A world-class singer's mental fortitude is not as good as a high school student's." Lu Wuyai shook his head, looked at the increasingly dark sky, and thought to himself, "I'll have to sleep in the countryside again tonight."
We chose a very secluded beach. The snow nearby was thick and sloping. From above, the view was completely obscured.
After opening the compartments of the carriage and cleverly connecting them, the women who hadn't gone to sleep yet began preparing today's dinner.
Lu Wuyai checked the vehicle's condition and filled it with gasoline. Only then did he realize that he had run out of gasoline, and the deserted island was still a long way off.
It's hard to imagine that such a huge island has no trace of human activity except for its original survivors.
It is important to know that an uninhabited island in the ocean often indicates abundant marine resources, and may even be a rare metal mine.
Dinner consisted of simple marching rations and Wagyu beef, which I think was enough for everyone.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Lu Wuyai was on night watch outside, while everyone else got into their cars to rest and recharge for the next day.
"Those ribbons are here again." Looking at this phenomenon, which was even more dazzling than the aurora borealis in the twilight night, Lu Wuyai simply lay down on the snow and quietly appreciated this once-in-a-lifetime scene.
The sky was also very clear today, with a few stars and the moon scattered across the ice, making the scenery on the ice extremely clear.
At some point, Lu Wuyai's ears twitched. He heard the car door open and saw someone step out. It was Su Xi.
At that moment, she secretly glanced in Lu Wuyai's direction.
So Lu Wuyai closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep. Hearing the other person walk away, he stood up again.
"This woman has a very stubborn temper." Looking at the phone in the other person's hand, Lu Wuyai sneered.
That night, Su Xi still hoped she could make a phone call to the outside world.
Lu Wuyai was very disappointed in Su Xi. Her misunderstanding had truly hurt him, and he was unwilling to speak to her at all.
But occasionally, he would notice that Su Xi was just looking for a signal on the nearby ice, so he gradually stopped paying attention.
The twilight scene makes it difficult for people to feel uncomfortable with this radiation.
At some point, Lu Wuyai seemed to hear the sound of something falling.
With a splash, it sounded like a heavy object falling into the water, creating a particularly large spray.
At that moment, Lu Wuyai hadn't reacted yet. When he looked up at the ice and couldn't find Su Xi, he suddenly realized.
"This woman won't fall into the ice hole."
Thinking of this, Lu Wuyai couldn't sit still. He thought about waking up the others, but then he thought, if Su Xi hadn't fallen into the sea, wouldn't that mean he cared about her a lot?
Therefore, Lu Wuyai decided to go and take a look himself first.
Fortunately, it was still bright outside. As Lu Wuyai walked on, he soon discovered a huge crack in the place where Su Xi had passed before.
Seawater was gushing out from the ice floes; clearly, there was something inside.
"Su Xi"
Lu Wuyai shouted at the seawater beneath the ice, though he knew that even if someone fell, there would be no response.
However, Lu Wuyai calmed himself down. He couldn't see Su Xi yet, so something must have happened to him.
Lu Wuyai already had several experiences of distinguishing sounds amidst noise, so he quickly lay down on the ice and listened to the underwater sounds.
One second, two seconds, half a minute passed. Lu Wuyai climbed up from the ice, his face grim, his eyes fixed in a certain direction.
Yes, he did discover someone under the ice, most likely Su Xi, that unfortunate fellow.
“Go back to find someone, then come back again, over and over again, at least five minutes. Including the time spent rescuing people, Su Xi definitely can’t last that long.”
Lu Wuyai understood that only he himself could save Su Xi now.
Without thinking, he checked his pistol and plunged into the sea.
The Gruffalo.
The seawater was colder than Lu Wuyai had imagined; the biting cold felt like needles pricking him, almost causing him to cramp up.
After finally getting used to it, Lu Wuyai hurriedly swam in the direction he had sensed earlier.
It was pitch black under the ice; even if you opened your eyes, you couldn't see anything at all.
At this moment, Lu Wuyai thought that if he had Song Xiaoyou's abilities, he should have found Su Xi by now.
In fact, as Lu Wuyai rushed towards the direction of his memories, he suddenly remembered that Su Xi was also a person. Given her instinct to save lives, how could she just sit and wait to die on the spot?
So he paused underwater for a moment, preparing to listen to it again.
This feeling was unprecedented. In addition to the sound of flowing water, some movements could also be clearly heard by Lu Wuyai.
This is different from noise. Just like the human eye, you won't feel dizzy when you see some brightly colored pictures, but you will feel dizzy when you see some brightly colored neon lights.
At this moment, Lu Wuyai easily noticed some unusual sounds of water.
Pressed against the ice, Lu Wuyai tried his best not to expend too much energy. He didn't know how much longer he could hold his breath.
Perhaps half a minute later, perhaps two minutes later, upon hearing the sound of water skiing, Lu Wuyai suddenly stopped, sensing something bad was about to happen.
Could it be that Su Xi is dead?
Thinking of this outcome, Lu Wuyai got goosebumps all over his body and hurriedly walked towards the direction where the sound suddenly stopped.
In those few dozen seconds, Lu Wuyai felt as if he were experiencing a war.
When his hand touched his opponent's ankle, Lu Wuyai immediately picked up his pistol and fired several shots at the ice, then kept hitting the ice with his elbow.
Fortunately, the ice here seemed quite fragile. After several blows from Lu Wuyai, a large hole finally appeared.
yes.
The moment he surfaced, Lu Wuyai took a breath and immediately dragged himself toward the ice.
Looking at the familiar protective suit, even without seeing the face, Lu Wuyai knew that the other person was Su Xi.
Listening to the other person's heartbeat and feeling the faint pulse, Lu Wuyai breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thinking that he was still alive.
Soon, Lu Wuyai dragged Su Xi into the car, waking up several women who were still sleeping.
Seeing the two embarrassed people, they finally came to their senses and realized that something had happened.
Lu Wuyai was too exhausted to speak, but he still reminded them that it would be best to drain the seawater from Su Xi's stomach.
"You saved her."
At this moment, Gu Yuxin walked over and asked curiously.
Lu Wuyai rolled his eyes at her: "Otherwise, do you think she just took a bath in the sea and swam up here?"
Upon hearing this, the women exchanged smiles.
Upon reaching this point, Lu Wuyai collapsed onto the ice, his entire body undeniably freezing. While underwater, his body had already adapted somewhat, and he secretly thought to himself, "The fighting spirit of the Brown Bear Kingdom is indeed something to behold—a bath in the freezing cold."
Humans are an extremely adaptable species.
Lu Wuyai exhaled a hot breath, reached out and took the towel Su Xi handed him, carefully absorbing the seawater from his protective suit, feeling warm again.
Inside the carriage, headlamps were on, and several women were examining Su Xi's body. They discovered she was merely unconscious, and their hearts sank.
Afterwards, Anya vomited up all the seawater she had drunk from her chest and lower abdomen.
All right.
Su Xi opened her eyes, and the bitter taste in her mouth quickly reminded her of what had happened before, causing goosebumps to immediately appear on her neck.
But she soon found herself in the car. If her past memories weren't too vivid, she would have thought she was having a terrifying nightmare.
"Who can save me?"
The first thing she did when she woke up was to ask the people around her, only to find them all pouting at Lu Wuyai outside the car.
At this moment, Su Xi felt as if a bottle of mixed emotions had been spilled, yet she felt a strange mix of feelings.
Jin Xilu whispered in her ear, "Go and say thank you."
"If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't dare to go into the water; it's too cold."
"And what you said before was really hurtful. You shouldn't have been so harsh on him."
At this point, Su Xi was still a little embarrassed. Although she was sometimes a bit childish, she was, after all, an adult with her own independent thoughts and understanding.
But the thought of that man jumping into the icy sea to save himself... made a hard part of Su Xi's heart soften a little.
Everyone noticed the hesitation in Su Xi's eyes. After thinking it over, they decided not to push too hard. After all, they would still have to live together in the future, giving them more opportunities to reconcile.
After a while, Su Xi opened the car door and tossed a towel to Lu Wuyai.
"Don't blame me if you catch a cold."
"You are sick."
Lu Wuyai glanced at the towel that had fallen on the ground and was about to throw it away when he suddenly remembered something else and wiped himself down.
The people in the car couldn't help but laugh when they saw this.
After that, no one was sleepy anymore. They leaned against the car, playing on their phones, occasionally trying to make a call, but not as obsessively as before.
Just as Lu Wuyai said, perhaps something even bigger has happened outside.
Unbeknownst to anyone, a ribbon of radiation, carrying the wind, reached the sky above the car and lingered for a long time.
At the same time, mobile phones that were previously unable to connect to the outside world began to have full signal coverage.
Hello"
"No matter who you are, don't make any more calls. You killed them all."
The person on the other end of the phone hung up almost with a shout. The women exchanged bewildered glances, and even Lu Wuyai outside the car heard the noise.
"What's going on?" Lu Wuyai walked in from outside. His voice was low and roaring, and his words were crystal clear. It was hard not to pay attention.
“I don’t know, he seemed to have told us not to call him,” Su Xi said.
The number was dialed by Yu Mengrou; it was supposedly her former landlord. Because she had to contact her frequently, she still remembers that number.
“We haven’t given any explanation for why he was killed.” Yu Mengrou was puzzled, but she still called out to her.
This time, however, the other party simply turned off his phone.
The atmosphere in the carriage became heavy again. Yu Mengrou made several phone calls before finally getting through.
"Who are you? Don't call me at this time."
"Don't hang up yet!" Lu Wuyai quickly called out, "When can I make a phone call?"
There's something wrong with your brain.
As he said this, the phone hung up again, and everyone looked at each other. Then he called again, but it seemed the other person had blocked him.
"Let's get a new phone," Lu Wuyai said quickly.
It's hard to find someone who can answer the phone, so of course we can't let this opportunity slip by easily.
Soon, Lu Wuyai took out his phone and dialed the number.
As a result, after hearing a familiar voice, I was hung up again and blocked.
No one gave up. They had over 20 phones, so they weren't worried about being blocked. Besides, they realized the other person's phone wasn't switched off; they could get through every time they dialed the number.
Careful observers are already considering the reasons behind this.
The person on the other end seemed to be waiting for a call, but it wasn't them.
Finally, the call connected again.
"Are you crazy? If you don't want to live, you won't let anyone else live either." Hearing the other person's shout, the people in the car felt inexplicably happy.
"Wait a minute," Lu Wuyai said.
After the other person fell silent, he seemed to realize something and asked directly, "Where are you?"
Lu Wuyai looked at the women, lowered his head, and said, "Xiao Dao."
"No wonder. You chose a good place."
"How so? Is this island any good?" Lu Wuyai countered.
"Damn it. You're lucky. If you were making a call like that anywhere else, you'd be dead by now."
"Hehe, we are indeed lucky," Lu Wuyai said with a smile. "We just wanted to ask what's going on outside."
"What else could happen? Thousands upon thousands of killings. Eating."
Before the man could finish speaking, the phone went dead again.
"What happened?" Lu Wuyai frowned, took a breath, and dialed again.
Unfortunately, no matter how many times I called after that, all the calls were noisy and there was no signal at all.
Opening the car door, Lu Wuyai glanced at the light spreading across the ice, put on his ski boots, grabbed his phone, and chased after them.
Starting that night, Lu Wuyai realized that the signal could only remain clear under the influence of the flowing light.
It's obvious that the car was able to maintain its signal because of radiation.
Lu Wuyai quickly caught up with him, and when he arrived under the radiation, he dialed the number again.
Unexpectedly, I miscalculated this time.
It was obvious that Lu Wuyai was under radiation, but he couldn't make a phone call and the noise was even louder.
After several attempts, he had to accept the reality.
"Radiation can indeed affect signals, but not necessarily in a positive way."
Lu Wuyai shook his head and returned to the car, only to find that everyone around him, especially Su Xi, was apologizing to him with full of apologies, even though their voices were very soft.
“It seems like something really has happened outside,” Yu Mengrou said.
At that moment, everyone couldn't help but sigh and walk around in circles. Unexpectedly, the safest place really was a deserted island.
“Starting tomorrow, let’s not spend too much time on the phone,” Kim Seok-rok said.
This time, no one else objected.
Lately, everyone has been spending too much time on their phones.
Although no one said it out loud, exhaustion and dejection were written on everyone's faces.
Most importantly, there was the phone call tonight and the conversation Lu Wuyai had told them before. Clearly, something huge had really happened in the outside world.
“However, we can still pinpoint certain individuals, locate the affected areas, and make phone calls,” Song Xiaoyou said.
Leaving a deserted island remains a latent desire in everyone's heart.
Clearly, no one objected to the suggestion. The fact that a successful call is still possible is enough.
"You should all get some rest." After saying this, Lu Wuyai left the carriage alone and continued to keep watch outside.
The lights were off, and the car was completely dark inside and out.
Soon, the car window rolled down, and Su Xi leaned out. When she saw Lu Wuyai, she threw down a blanket.
"Don't catch a cold."
When Lu Wuyai turned around, Su Xi had already returned to the car.
Picking up the blanket, Lu Wuyai could still smell the lingering scent on it, exactly the same as the faint milky fragrance on Su Xi.
Unsure of what he was thinking, Lu Wuyai smiled, spread out the quilt, lay down on it, and then gently turned over, rolling himself into the quilt as well.
