Perhaps startled, one of the vultures suddenly made a gurgling sound, and then a series of red and white things came out of its esophagus.
Seeing this, Lu Wuyai instantly felt goosebumps all over his body. He never expected that a vulture could vomit.
But soon, Lu Wuyai glanced at the vomit and his expression changed.
During the vomiting process, Lu Wuyai saw many red eyeballs, and his scalp tingled. There was an indescribable smell in the air.
Thinking of the unknown infectious disease, Lu Wuyai hurriedly returned to the cave, took out a generator and a water gun, and directly flushed the vomit onto the rocky hill.
At the same time, he cut the ropes binding the vultures and drove them away.
"Bad luck."
Lu Wuyai gritted his teeth, watching the vulture fly away. Undigested eyeballs could still be seen in the cracks between the stones on the ground.
Suppressing his nausea, Lu Wuyai bent down and threw all the eyeballs of the dead people into the forest.
"Where did these vultures get all these dead people's eyeballs from?" Lu Wuyai felt a chill run down his spine; just recalling those past events made him feel nauseous.
Looking up at the sky, you can also see a flock of vultures flying in from the sea off the deserted island.
Lu Wuyai shivered, washed his hands, and quickly walked into the cave.
Inside the cave, everyone is responsible for their own herbs. Thanks to the complete variety, the fourth phase of plant extract production has begun.
However, there are currently many essential drugs available, and it will take another six months to develop them successfully. It is estimated that the project will not be completed until early spring next year.
"This is too slow," Lu Wuyai couldn't help but complain.
Gu Yuxin said, "It's already very fast. You should know that the herbal medicine you and Song Xiaoyou drank last time took LG's technology alliance ten years to complete."
"If it weren't for the presence of these black stones, we might not have been able to complete the second stage of herbal medicine for several years."
Hearing this, Lu Wuyai looked at the black stones and thought that if he could escape in the future, these things might fetch a sky-high price.
However, this idea was fleeting.
The light rain continued almost all day. Lu Wuyai and Su Xi walked near the vegetable garden, intending to bring back some vegetables.
In the past few days, under Lu Wuyai's meticulous "care," Su Xi's physical condition has improved considerably. This can be seen from their "battles" in bed alone.
As they approached the vegetable garden, Lu Wuyai saw some muddy footprints. Looking at the forest ahead, his gaze instantly became tense.
Su Xi also noticed these footprints. She took the initiative to approach Lu Wuyai, pretending to be ready to fight at any moment.
"Is anyone home?" she whispered.
Lu Wuyai shook his head. He hadn't found any humans yet.
However, Lu Wuyai did feel that something was wrong. The surrounding environment was too quiet... completely silent.
There was no wind or rain, so the sounds of insects chirping and birds singing were exceptionally clear, but at this moment, none of these sounds were heard.
Lu Wuyai took a breath and grabbed Su Xi's small hand.
Su Xi said, "It will be alright."
She sensed that something was off. The hairs on her neck stood on end, and her breathing quickened slightly.
Suddenly, Lu Wuyai heard a cracking sound coming from the woods, like the sound of branches being broken by his feet.
The next second, Lu Wuyai nudged Su Xi, and a voice suddenly jumped out from the forest.
The enemy arrived too quickly. Even though Lu Wuyai heard the noise beforehand, he still had time to shield them with his chest.
To Su Xi's astonishment, Lu Wuyai collided with the other party, producing a dull, drum-like sound.
Then, the two of them fell to the ground, groaning in pain.
Su Xi ran over to help Lu Wuyai up, but to her surprise, the person who had just fallen to the ground jumped up as if he had a spring in his waist and pounced on Su Xi.
This sudden scene stunned Su Xi on the spot.
Lu Wuyai raised his head, noticing what was about to happen. He gathered his strength in his legs and charged forward. In the blink of an eye, he had grabbed his opponent and slammed him to the ground.
Just then, Lu Wuyai and Tang Xin simultaneously saw the person who had suddenly appeared, his eyes bloodshot and his expression ferocious. After being thrown to the ground by Lu Wuyai, he appeared extremely impatient.
"Su Xi, please get away from me." After saying that, Lu Wuyai got up from the ground, took out his pistol, pulled the trigger, and fired a shot at his opponent.
But as the man turned his head, the bullet grazed his cheek and struck the tree trunk behind him.
After several attempts, Lu Wuyai was unable to inflict any damage on his opponent.
"So sharp."
Lu Wuyai took a breath and realized that the person opposite him, who was suspected of being infected with the virus, was very powerful.
However, despite his great strength, this human remained wary of firearms and never approached Lu Wuyai.
"Godmother."
“A person infected with the virus can be so powerful.” Lu Wuyai grabbed his hair, feeling his future in doubt. Thinking of the survivors who had died, his heart sank.
Just as he was thinking this, the person opposite Lu Wuyai suddenly sprang up again, turned around, and rushed towards Su Xi in the distance.
"You dare."
At this moment, Lu Wuyai also caught up and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the person opposite him once again.
Lu Wuyai's roar echoed through the forest.
Although he started to become a bit of a scoundrel after arriving on the deserted island, that doesn't mean his woman can be bullied by anyone.
Seeing that the red-eyed man was about to attack Su Xi, Lu Wuyai felt as if he had violated him.
With a shovel, his opponent fell to the ground. Lu Wuyai seized the opportunity to pull out his dagger, slashed his opponent's ankle, and then stabbed him again.
Perhaps an artery had been punctured, because a stream of blood gushed out of the pipe, forming a rainbow in the air.
The rainbow vanished instantly. Lu Wuyai wiped the blood from his face to prevent it from flowing into his mouth and nose and causing infection.
Seeing the attacker still struggling on the ground, Lu Wuyai drew his gun again, pulled the trigger, and killed the attacker instantly.
Upon seeing this scene, Lu Wuyai gasped, feeling a chill run down his spine.
This is just one infected person. If more infected people appear on the deserted island, he and the woman in the cave will be completely unstoppable.
At that moment, Lu Wuyai suddenly remembered a movie where the protagonist was a black man who lived with a group of zombies in a post-apocalyptic world, enduring the lonely and cold nights alone.
Thinking of this, Lu Wuyai panicked, until Su Xi suddenly grabbed his hand.
"Wait, don't come any closer to me," Lu Wuyai said, quickly keeping his distance from Su Xi.
Su Xi was pale and didn't know what was wrong with Lu Wuyai.
“This person is likely infected with some kind of virus. You go back first. I'll be spending the night outside, and if nothing else happens, I'll return to the cave tomorrow.” Lu Wuyai's concern was not unfounded. If he were infected now, everyone in the cave would be in trouble.
"Go back first, don't worry about me," Lu Wuyai urged, it was getting late. Although it wasn't raining, the clouds were thick. After midsummer, the days begin to shorten.
After a while, Su Xi entered the cave. Upon seeing the others, she quickly recounted what had just happened.
“Right now, Lu Wuyai is out there all by himself,” Su Xi said worriedly.
“Don’t worry.” Gu Yuxin didn’t seem that nervous. “He was injected with a herbal medicine. This stuff can cure 100% of known viruses on Earth. Even if he has cancer, even in its late stages, the chance of a cure is 70%.”
"So resilient." The others' eyes widened. This was the first time they had heard Gu Yuxin explain the effects of herbal medicine.
"Since its effects are so powerful, why didn't the LG Technology Alliance invest heavily in developing this drug back then?" Gu Yuxin said with a frown. Even she knew that this was definitely a golden path to making money.
Gu Yuxin shook her head: "As I said before, developing this thing is too troublesome, and the original LG company didn't have a deep understanding of it either. This thing was completely an unintentional invention by scientists at the time, and was eventually used by LG company as a drug to prolong the experimental subjects' lives."
"To call this a waste of natural resources would be an understatement."
Gu Yuxin shook her head again, but she breathed a sigh of relief for Lu Wuyai.
“The drugs that Lu Wuyai and Song Xiaoyou were injected with contain animal genes, so they are even more different. You don’t need to worry about him.”
Although Moro's words sounded reassuring, Su Xi and the others were still very worried.
"Give the supplies to Lu Wuyai first," Su Xi said.
Living alone outdoors, tents and food are necessities. Although it was only for one night, everyone made preparations for Lu Wuyai.
In that dark moment, a package was thrown out of the cellar.
Lu Wuyai was startled. By the time he came to his senses, Su Xi and the others had already closed the tomb door again.
Although they were not afraid that Lu Wuyai would be infected with the virus, they were unwilling to refuse his kindness.
Ten minutes later, Lu Wuyai set up his tent. He would sleep near the cave that night and spend the night in peace and quiet.
The next morning, he carefully examined his body and found nothing wrong. However, just to be safe, he decided to stay alone for the day. If everything was fine, he would return to the cave.
“Since we’re afraid of the risk of infection, why don’t we take this opportunity to go to Blackstone Mountain?” Lu Wuyai narrowed his eyes slightly and decided to drive to Blackstone Mountain alone immediately.
The last time Lu Wuyai saw Blackstone Mountain, he worried that the stone might have been hollowed out. Now he finally has time to go again.
Soon, Lu Wuyai left a note in the cave, started the pickup truck, and headed straight for Black Cloud Mountain.
He had already found a direct road to Black Cloud Mountain, so Lu Wuyai was incredibly fast this time, arriving at the outskirts of Black Cloud Mountain at 2 PM.
At this moment, Lu Wuyai looked into the distance and found that Black Cloud Mountain was nothing but a mound of earth, and there was no one around. He wondered if some people had given up mining there.
Lu Wuyai wasn't in a hurry to leave. Instead, he parked the car and took a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood.
Night hadn't fallen yet, and he felt unsafe. There was a possibility that someone from the other side might appear during the digging, which would cause trouble.
The forests near Black Cloud Mountain looked rather empty, not nearly as mysterious as they did when I first came here.
At the foot of the rocky hill, a trickle of water still flows. This water source has not been occupied by anyone. Even those who extract it will not live here permanently.
"Wait until it gets dark," Lu Wuyai said to himself.
He stayed in the car all day, but it was a rainy day with no sunshine. He was drowsy and soon fell asleep.
When he woke up again, it was already dark.
Blackstone Mountain is still there; not a single stone has disappeared.
Lu Wuyai didn't get out of the car immediately, but instead turned on the drone. After patrolling the area, he started the vehicle and parked the pickup truck at the foot of the mountain.
Now, only a small mound remains of Black Stone Mountain, and Lu Wuyai is trying to take away as many stones as possible.
Soon, Lu Wuyai took out several decks from the container and reinforced them around the container, forming a container-like structure.
Last time, Lu Wuyai did the same thing, taking away more than three times the volume of the original container.
This time, Lu Wuyai not only increased the height of the box but also widened it, so that it could hold at least half a truckload of stones.
Soon, he arrived at Shishan, took a generator and an electric drill, and began his activities for the night.
It was drizzling at night, and it was almost midnight.
Lu Wuyai had already smashed half of Black Stone Mountain, and a large number of rocks rolled down, falling directly into the cargo bed of the pickup truck.
After calculating the remaining space, Lu Wuyai could only sigh. The most he could do was move the rubble away.
In the darkness, he descended the rocky hill and began scattering gravel powder into the forest from his backpack. Mosquitoes are small and fleshy, so this powder was perfect for nurturing initial seedlings.
At some point, Lu Wuyai suddenly noticed what appeared to be a person in the woods.
This discovery suddenly excited Lu Wuyai.
It all happened in an instant, and even he himself couldn't be sure whether what he saw before him was an illusion or a real person.
However, he could see it at night. After a few seconds of doubt, Lu Wuyai began to carefully examine the forest opposite. If there really were people there, he was sure he could find them.
Over the next few minutes, Lu Wuyai continued moving stones, trying to find possible humans in the forest.
But after a long time, Lu Wuyai found no clues.
Just when he thought he was seeing things, a figure suddenly rushed out of the forest at the speed of a car. By the time Lu Wuyai came to his senses, the figure was already in front of him.
Call up.
A muffled sound rang out in the air. Lu Wuyai suddenly opened his eyes wide and saw that the other party had reached out and struck his chest with extremely fast speed.
Signs of extreme danger.
The hairs on the back of my neck stood on end, giving me the illusion that I was about to die.
Lu Wuyai hurriedly turned around, his body tense like a bowstring that could snap at any moment.
At this moment, Lu Wuyai realized that his opponent was as big as a bear. He was not only extremely tall and powerful, but also had a very strong aura. He could kill with a single move.
Lu Wuyai dodged the fatal blow, but his opponent's palm struck the rock by mistake, causing a loud noise, like a drumbeat, and Lu Wuyai's ears rang briefly.
"If it hits a person, all the bones will be broken."
Lu Wuyai looked back at the handprint on the stone, couldn't help but swallow hard, and felt a chill run down his spine.
"Who are you?" Lu Wuyai asked in a low voice, then quickly distanced himself from his opponent. At the same time, he held a gun in his hand, warning his opponent not to approach him.
Without saying a word, the other person lifted their leg and quickly approached Lu Wuyai.
With a bang.
At that moment, Lu Wuyai did not hesitate at all and immediately chose to fire. A flash of light appeared the instant the bullet left the barrel.
Unfortunately, his opponent dodged bullet after bullet, which terrified Lu Wuyai.
It was too late. He had dodged, but the man's next attack was imminent. Lu Wuyai was heartbroken. Thinking of how his physical abilities had improved recently through his experiments with women, he swung his hand and delivered a blow to his opponent's head.
As a result, their fists struck the air, making a popping sound like beans exploding. Just as Lu Wuyai thought it was the sound of his bones breaking, he saw the man's body explode backward, his face contorted, letting out a beast-like growl.
The next second, Lu Wuyai's eyes were filled with doubt. He withdrew his hand and looked at his fist. Apart from a slight tingling in his knuckles, everything else was fine.
Seeing the other person's pained expression as they fled into the forest, Lu Wuyai was completely stunned.
"I'm very strong." Lu Wuyai looked at him in disbelief. After thinking for a while, he clenched his fist and punched the Black Stone Mountain. After a dull thud, a clear fist imprint was left on the stone wall.
Lu Wuyai's mouth grew wider and wider, until the corners of his mouth finally stretched all the way to his ears.
"I never imagined I was this amazing." Lu Wuyai was incredibly excited, even more so than if he had found 5 million yuan.
But he quickly suppressed the urge and continued moving stones at the foot of Black Cloud Mountain.
When things quieted down, Lu Wuyai suddenly thought of some questions. For example, that person seemed to be able to see clearly even in the dark, otherwise they wouldn't have had such a clear target from the start.
Furthermore, why did the other party attack you?
Lu Wuyai had a vague feeling that he had seen that person somewhere before, and that they seemed to have some kind of special connection.
After shaking his head, Lu Wuyai gave up on further investigation.
Upon arriving here, the man who had failed to defeat Lu Wuyai fled frantically. His broken finger bones caused him constant, heartbreaking pain.
"Oh shit."
"How could someone on a deserted island train their body to such a level?"
In the forest, the man soon arrived at a basin where there was a faint light, and in the dim light, many lingering figures could be seen.
The man glanced at it and then hid inside one of the tents.
The tent was dark, but the man walked to the corner, very precisely took out a set of medical equipment, immediately injected a drug into his severed finger, then reinforced it with a steel plate and stabilized his severed finger.
After doing all this, the man, enduring excruciating pain, sat cross-legged on the bed. Opposite him was a photograph of a black bear embracing a tree.
