The island is covered in lush vegetation, and the beach looks like a wild forest.
However, Lu Wuyai and the others still saw each other's figures.
Those were a few people hiding behind the trees. Their furtive movements were unlike those of a red-eyed patient. Everyone was wary. A cunning person was far more dangerous than a crazed patient.
"It seems the supplies here are no longer a secret," Lu Wuyai said. "Everyone, please be careful and don't wander around."
Lu Wuyai was worried that there might be traps nearby, so he had to be careful.
Later, Lu Wuyai took out some iron bars from the trunk of the pickup truck, one for each person, which could be used as a wayfinding tool.
"Go to the diesel tank first, and bring the diesel back," Lu Wuyai said in a low voice.
Soon, the women parked their vehicle in front of a shipping container and began transporting supplies at top speed.
As for Lu Wuyai, he was still frantically opening the blind boxes. The fact that someone had discovered this place meant that more survivors would appear in the future. He had to figure out how much stuff was inside these containers.
Moreover, he was looking for guns and ammunition not because he had used too many in the past, but because he didn't want them to fall into the wrong hands.
After walking for two hours, Lu Wuyai finally found a 20-foot cabinet on a sandy patch. Inside were boxes of firearms, including some extremely lethal weapons.
Without hesitation, Lu Wuyai drove over immediately. He first moved ten boxes of bullets and took a batch of rockets, then told Su Xi and You Li to drive back to Shiqiu immediately.
As for the others, they also left as soon as they finished transporting the diesel.
Beside the shipping container, Lu Wuyai stood alone, carrying bullets. His small truck hadn't left yet, so he was guarding the powder magazine by himself.
Just then, several men emerged from the forest, guns in their hands, staring intently at Lu Wuyai, giving him a bad feeling.
"Something's about to happen." Lu Wuyai narrowed his eyes and immediately got into the car. After setting off, the front of the car was pointed at his opponent, and he was already prepared.
To Lu Wuyai's surprise, these armed men did not cause him any trouble. Instead, after a brief stop, they chose to leave and head towards the more distant containers.
Lu Wuyai paused for a moment, seemingly lost in thought.
In the afternoon, the familiar car arrived at the seaside again. Lu Wuyai called for three vehicles specifically used to transport these bullets and firearms.
Considering that it would soon be dark, Lu Wuyai left Ouyang Qing and the other three people who couldn't see at night on the beach, while the others walked back and forth to the stone mountain.
As for himself, he used the darkness to charge alone towards the defensive line that the survivors had left during the day.
Meanwhile, along the way, Lu Wuyai kept opening containers and unexpectedly discovered many good things.
Even Lu Wuyai did not expect that at this time, someone would actually produce a ground machine similar to a drone.
This is a palm-sized robot, like a tank, that can observe the ground. But Lu Wuyai believes that if used properly, this kind of machine will have many advantages over drones.
Moreover, Lu Wuyai discovered that these robot bullets were bombs that would explode immediately upon command, and their power was truly immense.
"There are a total of twenty racks, with one hundred land patrol robots on each rack, which means there are a total of 2,000 robots." Lu Wuyai did the math and estimated that transporting these robots would require at least five trips, and at full capacity.
In addition, Lu Wuyai also found some tools, such as vises, wrenches, and a large number of nails of various sizes. These items were concentrated in several containers.
Under the cover of night, Lu Wuyai walked further and further away, finally stopping on a snowy field with not many boxes.
In the dim light, Lu Wuyai heard groans.
After searching for a while, Lu Wuyai suddenly bent down, groped around in the snow for a while, and found a corpse.
The groans just now must have come from the other person. Unfortunately, when Lu Wuyai found him, he was already dead and unable to save himself.
Lu Wuyai shook his head. He had clearly seen the other person's face. He was one of the people who had come out of the woods during the day. There were two bite marks on his neck. He knew at a glance that he had been killed by an animal.
"The wound is so deep..." Lu Wuyai sighed, gazing at the forest. It turned out there were predators on the island.
"We need to be careful."
Lu Wuyai noticed many open shipping containers nearby, so he went inside to take a look. He found that most of them contained fresh water and food, and in very small quantities. Some of them had clearly already been taken away.
Lu Wuyai did not stop and quickly returned to the container where firearms were stored.
Inside the private room, Gu Yuxin and the others shivered from the cold. Once Lu Wuyai finally arrived, they immediately began to complain.
"When can we leave?" Gu Yuxin asked.
Lu Wuyai checked the time and estimated that the next bus would arrive at the seaside in two hours.
"Two hours later."
"Ah, this is too long, I can't sleep here."
Gu Yuxin's face was full of displeasure, and Lu Wuyai also felt a headache coming on. He had known all along that he would be back late, but now it was impossible for him to leave.
Ten minutes later, amidst Gu Yuxin's complaints, Lu Wuyai could only lead them to wander among the nearby containers, searching for those that had not yet been opened.
In the darkness, Gu Yuxin and the others were like blind people. At first, they followed Lu Wuyai and couldn't tell which way was which.
"Lu Wuyai, tell me how you all have night vision?" Gu Yuxin had been very curious. When he posted this message, Li Ruisi and Han Shuyi also looked over.
Lu Wuyai hadn't yet considered whether to tell them about this. Although they had a good relationship during this time, Lu Wuyai didn't dare to speak of it without the other women's consent.
So this time, he just laughed it off.
"You stinky man." Gu Yuxin snorted, continuing to follow Lu Wuyai while holding the rope.
Soon, the containers were opened one by one, and Lu Wuyai found some standard electric lights. Surprisingly, these lights were solar-powered, capable of absorbing and storing solar energy during the day and turning on naturally at night.
"It seems that people outside are researching solar-powered appliances." Lu Wuyai speculated that perhaps fuel reserves are dwindling, and solar energy is naturally the best energy source.
Fortunately, these lights store solar energy. When turned on, something can be seen even in snowy winters.
However, it wasn't of much use to Lu Wuyai, but Gu Yuxin could study this technology.
With these lights, Gu Yuxin and the others were no longer blind cats and could finally see things clearly in the pitch-black night.
"Did something happen just now?" Gu Yuxin asked.
Lu Wuyai frowned. The light from the electric light had been too bright; he couldn't see anything clearly, and he hadn't even heard anything.
"Is something wrong? I don't think I saw anything," Gu Yuxin said. She thought Han Shuyi was just too nervous, but actually there was nothing there.
"Maybe I was blind." Gu Yuxin sighed, realizing she had made a mistake.
Lu Wuyai checked his watch. The car would arrive in about an hour.
A blizzard was still falling from the sky, and it quickly covered their tracks.
The light bulb didn't store much solar energy, and it went out completely after a short period of use.
"What a broken lamp," Gu Yuxin complained.
Lu Wuyai looked around and realized that the four of them had unknowingly arrived in front of a familiar container.
This is the container Jin Xilu discovered, and inside it is a mysterious creature. But just then, Lu Wuyai discovered a creature inside the dark container.
The door was ajar, so Lu Wuyai couldn't see what was inside from his current angle, but he could definitely hear heavy breathing.
"Keep your voice down, let's back up," Lu Wuyai said, explaining that he was worried there might be wild animals inside, and more than one.
Afterwards, Lu Wuyai led Li Ruisi and the others, walking carefully and trying not to make a sound.
But who could have imagined that a strong gust of wind would blow open the half-open iron gate, and the creaking sound would immediately startle the creature inside.
Lu Wuyai gasped in displeasure as a strange-looking animal emerged from the iron box, using all four limbs.
"Damn it." Lu Wuyai's eyes widened. Inside this enormous cabinet was a terrifying creature that looked like a brown bear.
Hearing the thunderous roar, Gu Yuxin and the others gasped. Before they could react, Lu Wuyai grabbed them and ran towards the edge of the narrow passage.
“What is Lu Wuyai?” Gu Yuxin asked.
Lu Wuyai took a deep breath. The brown bear from before—no, to be precise, it wasn't a brown bear, because it was larger than a brown bear, with long, slender limbs—was clearly not the same creature.
"It must be some kind of mutated brown bear. Don't say anything, it's coming." Lu Wuyai originally wanted to kill his opponent with one shot, but he thought that there might be more than one opponent and was worried about causing a chain reaction, so he ultimately chose to avoid it.
Soon, the mutated brown bear left the iron box, lingered nearby for a while, and then walked towards the sea.
Looking in the direction the other person left, it was the location of a deserted island.
But less than two minutes later, Lu Wuyai's expression changed; he had initially seemed about to leave. He then heard the sound of some kind of wild beast.
"More than one." Lu Wuyai was secretly startled. After he went out, he turned back and looked outside again. One after another, skinny mutated brown bears were heading towards the deserted island from one side.
Lu Wuyai and the others dared not breathe loudly, especially Gu Yuxin and the others. In the darkness where they could not see clearly, this was undoubtedly a terrifying thing.
Ten minutes later, after Lu Wuyai felt that the other group had completely left, he went out alone.
But soon, he heard the crisp sound of gunfire from the distant snow. His expression suddenly changed as he checked the time.
"The team didn't just get back." Thinking of this, Lu Wuyai quickly told Gu Yuxin and the others to wait where they were and not to come out.
Sensing the urgency in Lu Wuyai's words, Gu Yuxin nodded and pulled Han Shuyi and Li Ruisi to stand aside.
Soon, Lu Wuyai rushed out. The footprints in the snow hadn't disappeared yet, and a huge palm print came into view, which was extremely astonishing.
"The footprints are too big. Are these mutated brown bears new creatures or something strange?" Lu Wuyai took a deep breath and quickly followed.
A few minutes later, the gunfire in the air intensified, and Lu Wuyai could even smell the blood.
Soon, Lu Wuyai saw several corpses lying on the snow; they were all from these strange brown bears.
it hurts.
On the snow, the roaring bellows enraged the enemy, but they were powerless to stop it. After all, those were scorching hot weapons, and even the largest bodies of flesh and blood could not withstand the damage they inflicted.
When Lu Wuyai arrived in front of the convoy, all the brown bears ran away.
Gu Yuxin got out of the car and couldn't help but say, "Why is there a short-faced bear here? It's so strange."
Short-faced bear.
At this moment, not only Lu Wuyai, but also the other women who got out of the car were completely dumbfounded. All they knew was that the brown bear had a slender body and sharp claws, and could easily tear the snow shovels they had placed in front of the car into pieces.
"This thing is a creature that disappeared hundreds of years ago. Logically speaking, it shouldn't exist in this world, just like the saber-toothed tiger," Gu Yuxin explained. She is an expert in biological research and knows these ancient creatures that have long since disappeared very well.
Lu Wuyai took a breath; those short-faced bears from earlier were a whole group.
Looking at the corpse on the ground, the women did not waste any resources. They immediately chopped up the body and put the meat of several short-faced bears into their pockets.
Soon, the convoy continued its journey, and Gu Yuxin added a piece of historical information about short-faced bears to Lu Wuyai's notes.
"This short-faced bear was the most fearsome predator on the African continent 2 million years ago. It is said to have exclusively eaten bison and was the largest bear ever recorded on Earth."
"It probably wouldn't be able to escape from anyone it encounters in the wild. We don't know how such an obviously extinct animal could reappear." Gu Yuxin thought it was amazing and even looked forward to seeing if other extinct creatures would appear.
After the vehicle arrived at the seaside, Lu Wuyai and Song Xiaoyou carefully observed the surrounding area. Once they confirmed it was safe, they began transporting new supplies.
Lu Wuyai returned to the gap between the containers, led Gu Yuxin and the others out, and found another empty container.
Afterwards, Lu Wuyai took an axe to the forest on the island, chopped some firewood, and gave it to Gu Yuxin, asking her to cook dinner in the container with Han Shuyi and Li Ruisi.
In such a semi-enclosed space, lighting a fire is a worthwhile way to provide warmth.
“Actually, living in a place like this in winter isn’t bad,” Lu Wuyai said.
Soon, as the campfire was lit, the cold containers began to warm up, and Lu Wuyai handed several bags of cross-sectioned bear meat to Gu Yuxin and the other two.
"You guys are having a barbecue and eating at the same time, you probably won't rest until the middle of the night."
In the following days, everyone was busy, moving boxes and cooking; no one stopped.
Around ten o'clock, Lu Wuyai returned to Shiqiu with supplies. He was accompanied by several women, and the vehicle was loaded with a large amount of firearms.
And so, in this cold winter, accompanied by heavy snow, the days passed one by one.
One morning a week later, Lu Wuyai was chopping wood in the forest of the small island, with two land robots roaming beneath his feet.
The women have become very interested since the discovery of these pocket-sized robots. Although the island is densely forested, the robots greatly reduce the risks of jungle exploration.
The two land patrol robots quickly started their tracks and headed into the depths of the forest.
In a nearby carriage, Su Xi and You Li were remotely controlling the robots. The image was clear, but the signal was weak. The robots' viable range was only about one kilometer.
"A white expanse is no fun," Su Xi pouted. She probably just ate bear meat; her lips were glossy and looked particularly sexy.
Yuri pointed to a corner of the screen and said, "When you look over there, it looks like a hillside."
As the saying goes, "the higher you stand, the farther you can see," and Su Xi quickly understood Yuri's meaning. The two of them drove the land patrol robot up the hill in a very short time.
After passing through layers of snow, the scene in the video finally brightened, revealing a world of ice and snow.
“This island looks pretty big,” Su Xi said. Just from the scene seen in the video, it looked like a vast forest that seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see.
However, from the outside of the island, you can still visually judge its size. It's just that the shape of the island is more like a baguette, so you can't see the end of it even if you climb up the hillside.
Upon arriving, Lu Wuyai finished chopping wood and returned to a shipping container. Most of the women there were resting. A campfire was burning, and the weather was warm. This was a world completely different from the cold outside.
Seven days have passed since the short-faced bear was last spotted.
During this period, Lu Wuyai and his men not only transported away all the firearms, but also stored all the diesel and gasoline under dead trees to preserve them well.
The snow is still falling heavily, and the marks are quickly covered up, so it's relatively safe.
After enjoying a delicious meal of bear meat, Lu Wuyai stretched and, carrying his gun, walked alone through the wind and snow, searching for the last container of supplies.
Hundreds of containers, including some important items such as generators and underwear.
Inside the cave, there are now more than a hundred well-preserved generators, but for Lu Wuyai and his group, these are far from enough.
It's not just a matter of quantity; diesel fuel will eventually run out. No matter how much money they save now, it won't be enough.
"Many of the electrical appliances we've discovered are solar-powered; perhaps we can find some solar generators," Lu Wuyai thought to himself.
Unbeknownst to him, he had arrived at a container area covered in snow, which was almost piled up into a small mountain covered in white snow. Underneath the white snow were dozens of unopened containers.
Lu Wuyai picked up a shovel and kicked the snow-covered mountain in front of him, discovering that the snow was already quite thick.
So he climbed up the snow-capped mountain and quickly reached the summit, where he began shoveling snow with a shovel.
At this very moment, snowflakes are still falling from the sky, and large, feather-like bloodstains will fall on people, engulfing them in an instant.
Lu Wuyai touched his head, feeling cold and damp. Even he couldn't stay outside for long.
This winter, the temperature has been unusually cold.
