"Then expand the channels. Anyway, Lu Wuyai will need time to dig stones."
Su Xi picked up the axe and rallied everyone to take action.
At this point, Lu Wuyai grabbed the drill bit, pressed it against his lower abdomen, and began hammering the stone. Unexpectedly, he discovered that the stone here was even harder than the black stone in the canyon. Based on past experience, the energy stored in the black stone was probably insufficient. Very little.
It wasn't until the afternoon that Su Xi and the others returned. The passageway along the way had doubled in size, and Lu Wuyai had also quarried a lot of black stones, creating a large pit about one meter deep on the spot.
There are still black stones in the mine, and no one knows how many there are.
Although the passageway has been doubled in size, cars still cannot pass through.
However, the women used an electric drill to install swivel wheels in several plastic boxes, and then hung the plastic boxes on the back of the balance bikes, temporarily using them to move stones in the deadwood forest.
The car was parked at the entrance to the deadwood forest.
After dark, it took them two hours to transport all the ore Lu Wuyai had mined back to the cave and clean up the traces along the way. They were exhausted.
Lu Wuyai was the last to emerge from the withered forest. At this moment, there was not a single person to be seen on the deserted island.
He walked quickly toward the rocky hill, and as he passed the cowshed, he suddenly saw a figure.
At first, Lu Wuyai thought it was Song Xiaoyou and the others, but just as he was about to greet them, a bright light flashed from their bodies.
In an instant, a bad premonition gave Lu Wuyai goosebumps all over his body, and he subconsciously fell behind him.
The next second, a strong burning sensation came from above his eyebrows. Lu Wuyai, lying on the ground, touched it with his hand and gasped.
"The fire just now was actually a bullet."
Lu Wuyai swallowed hard, turned over to the side, and stared at the scene in front of him through the thin layer of weeds on the ground.
Now that Yue'er has climbed to the top of the mountain and has gained night vision, Lu Wuyai can see a figure running quickly away on the hillside.
Returning to the stone sphere with lingering fear, Lu Wuyai told him what had just happened. Everyone was terrified.
"Who is lurking near the office?" Everyone had the same question in their mind.
Lu Wuyai ate a piece of bear meat and said, "No matter who it is, they will use drones to scan the surrounding kilometer range when they go out. These days, nobody wants to make things easier for the other side."
After finishing his meal, Lu Wuyai remembered the trap he had set in the forest the day he hunted the black bear, so he deliberately ran out.
When he returned, he was carrying a full basket of two leopards and three hares, a very successful haul.
Under such climatic conditions, meat can be preserved after being cured, so during this period, everyone can enjoy a bite of fresh and tender meat.
By the pool, women were cleaning up animal carcasses. Lu Wuyai used the extra entrails to make more than a dozen traps of varying sizes and placed them near the deadwood forest.
As I fell asleep again, moonlight streamed into the grove of trees behind the rocky hill. Having endured the harsh winter, these saplings had sprouted again and were growing taller almost every day.
"A forest has finally formed. We will plant another batch of saplings in a while. I believe that before winter comes, this will be a lush jungle," Gu Yuxin said.
Looking at it now, there are still too few trees.
Lu Wuyai returned to the container and lay down on the large bed. Now that the weather was warmer, he no longer needed to sleep in the living room.
I checked the time; it was already ten o'clock. There was a soft snoring coming from the cubicle. I guessed all the women were asleep.
But not long after, soft footsteps sounded in the corridor. Lu Wuyai looked up in surprise and saw that it was Gu Yuxin who walked in. She was wearing a light purple nightgown that accentuated her alluring figure.
Seeing the other person's appearance, Lu Wuyai couldn't help but feel a surge of lust within him. He picked up Gu Yuxin and pinned him down.
Feeling the devilish figure and suppleness, Lu Wuyai was already lost in a sea of emeralds. Not long after, alluring moans echoed from inside the container...
The next morning, Lu Wuyai climbed out of his arms and looked at the woman with rosy cheeks, a slight smile involuntarily appearing on his lips.
The night of clouds and rain in Wushan made him feel truly relaxed.
After quietly arriving at the cavern, Lu Wuyai took out his drone and left the underground world. After wandering around the area, he drove to the small hill that the stranger had passed by the night before.
Lu Wuyai still vividly remembered the shot from last night, but after Gu Yuxin reassured him, he was no longer so terrified.
"Don't let me catch you." Lu Wuyai got out of the car, saw a row of footprints on the ground, and drove in that direction.
Unfortunately, the footprints eventually disappeared into the distance, and the grass disturbed many of the traces. In addition, there were footprints of various animals.
When Lu Wuyai returned to the cave, the women were already preparing to rush into the withered forest to continue moving the black stones.
And just like that, two more weeks passed without us even realizing it.
The weather on the deserted island has been drastic these past few days, and it seems as if overnight, the power of midsummer has been felt.
Inside the cave, ice machines operate for eight hours a day, constantly lowering the temperature to ensure that fresh meat and milk do not spoil.
However, Song Xiaoyou said she wanted to try making cheese, so everyone specially opened up an underground space for this purpose, about 6 meters deep from the ground.
Cheese making is actually a fermentation process. Due to limited tools, the success rate is very low.
"It's too hot."
That day, Lu Wuyai returned home. He was drenched in sweat. The outside temperature had reached 42 degrees Celsius.
"Go outside and wash up before coming back."
Lu Wuyai's sweat odor was overwhelming. He had no choice but to grab his clothes and go outside again. He went into the swimming pool and soaked in it.
The water temperature wasn't very cold. The air temperature was 42 degrees Celsius, but it was at least 44 degrees Celsius up in the mountains. When people walked on the rocks, the heat created bubbles.
Lu Wuyai didn't come out of the water until three o'clock.
Perhaps because he had been soaking for too long, Lu Wuyai felt dizzy and wondered if he had heatstroke.
By this time, the sun had begun to set, but the light was still very strong. Just as Lu Wuyai was about to walk into the cave, he suddenly noticed a white cloud in the distant sky.
To be precise, it was the flight path of an aircraft, created by a jet plane.
At first, Lu Wuyai didn't care. After all, planes occasionally appeared on this deserted island, and there had even been several large-scale air disasters.
But soon, he realized something was wrong.
A violent collision occurred in the sky. Almost in the blink of an eye, Lu Wuyai saw two groups of explosives appear in the azure sky. Immediately afterwards, a large amount of debris fell to the ground.
Lu Wuyai's scalp tingled at just one glance. He realized that many of the fragments had actually fallen towards the rocky mountain.
Moreover, just hearing the sound of it falling gave Lu Wuyai goosebumps.
"If you fall from such a height, don't try to make a hole in the rocky mountain."
Lu Wuyai didn't have time to think too much. He immediately rushed into the cave, gathered everyone together, and headed towards the underground space where Song Xiaoyou was making cheese.
Because escape was no longer an option, Lu Wuyai practically stepped into the cellar the moment he entered. Countless fragments crashed onto the rocky mountain, creating a tremendous roar.
"We're so unlucky." Gu Yuxin gritted her teeth and prayed silently that nothing would happen to his lab.
The others also wore grim expressions. You must know that everything in this cave was carefully arranged by them. This is their home on the deserted island.
Lu Wuyai glanced at it and comforted him, saying, "As long as the person is alright, things can be rebuilt even if they are destroyed."
Perhaps because Lu Wuyai's words were indeed very comforting, the women in the cellar began to feel calmer, and their whispers were all about the situation in the outside world.
Three minutes later, Lu Wuyai heard no more movement, so he opened the cellar door and went outside.
After glancing at the situation inside the cave, Lu Wuyai breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't as bad as he had imagined; some cement had cracked and fallen to the ground, breaking some decorations.
“Fortunately, the lab wasn’t damaged.” Gu Yuxin breathed a sigh of relief. She had been worried about her equipment. These things were orphans; even if they were destroyed, there was no chance of repair.
With that, Lu Wuyai walked out of the cave with his tools. When he saw the pile of stones covered with various fragments, his pupils suddenly contracted.
It is indeed one plane, no, it's two planes.
Debris from one of the planes landed on a rocky hill, while debris from the other plane landed less than 100 meters away. The debris along the way ignited several large fires on the ground.
What frightened Lu Wuyai was that in the center of this stone mountain, several spindle-shaped bombs were being heated by fire, seemingly ready to explode at any moment.
Lu Wuyai swallowed hard, unsure of what to do.
However, he quickly came to his senses, realized the danger, hurriedly ran to the water pit, picked up a bucket, filled it with water, and rushed back to the vicinity of the bomb.
“Ziz”.
Lu Wuyai walked back and forth four or five times and finally extinguished the flames near the bomb, eliminating any danger.
At this moment, other women also came out.
When they saw the bombs, they couldn't help but feel cold and horrified.
Fortunately, by this time, the fire had been extinguished and there was no sign of the bomb exploding.
"Can this thing move?" Lu Wuyai asked, feeling at a loss.
Gu Yuxin scratched her head and said, "Let's move it when it gets dark."
The bomb remained in its original spot, but others began collecting large amounts of debris from the rocky hill.
“That should be a fighter jet,” Lu Wuyai said. As for the other one, it looked like a passenger plane. Many people died, and the bodies stretched for hundreds of meters into the forest.
The setting sun was still scorching the earth.
Lu Wuyai kept a close eye on the three missiles rolling down from the plane, wondering if people like him would be blown to ashes if they exploded.
Everyone was scavenging for useful items from the wreckage, but the plane had violently disintegrated in mid-air, and by the time it landed on the ground, most of the items were gone.
Seeing the corpses piled together, Lu Wuyai picked up diesel fuel, skillfully poured it on top, and then lit it. A nauseating smell filled the air.
"You've all made a discovery." Lu Wuyai asked curiously. He noticed that the scattered fragments nearby had been collected, and Gu Yuxin was picking them.
“They’re all parts from an airplane,” Gu Yuxin said. “Airplanes use precision parts. Maybe they’ll still work if my machine breaks down in the future.”
Lu Wuyai remained noncommittal and began searching in the nearby bushes.
There were absolutely no survivors in this air disaster. The pilots of the jet plane were burned to ashes, and everyone on board the passenger plane was also reduced to ashes.
The most important thing now is to deal with these missiles.
“Otherwise, let’s find a place to bury it first,” Su Xi said. “It might come in handy someday.”
Lu Wuyai glanced at her, finally nodded, picked up a shovel, entered the deadwood forest, found a secluded corner, and quickly dug a pit half a meter deep, just long enough to hold the three missiles.
However, when it came to carrying the missiles, Lu Wuyai insisted that he carry them alone. According to his wishes, even if an accident occurred, only he would die.
"Don't touch it, I'll do it myself." Lu Wuyai was afraid of the turbulence of these missiles. After all, they had fallen from thousands of meters in the air and been roasted alive. No one knew if something had changed inside.
However, when Lu Wuyai entered the deadwood forest and released the first missile, Su Xi and the others also walked over with their missiles, without even glancing at Lu Wuyai's dark face.
Finally, the three missiles were placed underground. Lu Wuyai filled the pit and marked it to prevent the missiles from being forgotten over time.
“Let’s go back first,” Lu Wuyai said.
By this time, it was completely dark, and the plane wreckage on the rocky hill had not yet been cleared away; there were abandoned passenger plane debris everywhere.
The weather isn't very good tonight either. Dark clouds have obscured the moon, and the deserted island is shrouded in darkness.
Lu Wuyai and the others drove a pickup truck to transport the debris to a more distant coastline. They returned late at night.
Inside the cave, no one was resting yet. Su Xi and the others were working on cement. Debris from the previous plane had shattered the roofs of many rooms, bringing with it a large amount of mud.
It's the height of summer, and the soil is full of insect eggs. After an afternoon of "brewing," the house is teeming with moths and insects.
“Turn on the lights in the hallway, and turn them off everywhere else,” Su Xi said.
Like moths drawn to a flame, these insects like to gather where there is light.
Soon, the rest of the space became pitch black, except for the passage between the tomb and the cave, which was illuminated.
Women can see at night, so they don't need lighting.
When Lu Wuyai returned, the cement on the wall had just hardened, and Gu Yuxin was in the corridor using a newly prepared insecticide to kill insects.
You Li and Xia Qingming were preparing dinner. They also had some leopard meat from the past few days. With chili peppers and fermented bean paste, it tasted really good.
Even Kim Hee-rok, who is always conscious of his figure, ate two bowls of rice by himself during the meal.
That night, everyone slept soundly, undisturbed by the lightning and thunder outside, including Lu Wuyai.
The next day, on the deserted island, watching the raging wind and rain, everyone felt the chill in the air.
"After two weeks of heat, a typhoon is finally coming."
However, the rain was too heavy, and there was nothing we could do outside, so we decided to stay in the cave and clean up the room that had been damaged yesterday.
Although cement was reapplied yesterday, some of the steel bars were still shaken loose. Compared to wood, they are indeed less resilient.
Lu Wuyai spent the entire morning digging tunnels, while the others gathered in the rice paddies to harvest the grain from the past two weeks.
"The rice is harvested every two weeks, this stone is truly amazing." Although Jin Xilu had harvested rice before, he still couldn't help but marvel at the exaggerated effect of the black stone.
"Compared to the outside world, this place is truly blissful," Song Xiaoyou remarked, though she often misses home.
The other women smiled, their lips pursed. Shi Qiu had no worries about food or drink. If he could continue living, he could be considered to be living a good life.
After harvesting the rice, everyone went to the potato and sweet potato fields. These two crops have a faster growth cycle than rice.
When the women returned to the tomb, Lu Wuyai had just finished resting. The original cement floor had turned light yellow and was now coated with a layer of paint.
"Your cement is quite good." Su Xi walked around and found that every corner was drawn very carefully. Her eyes turned into crescent moons when she smiled.
Lu Wuyai raised his eyebrows, after all, it had taken him most of the day.
A rumbling sound.
On the deserted island, a clap of thunder sounded. When it reached the cave, everyone looked up.
"It's thundering again, and the rain hasn't stopped," Su Xi said.
Lu Wuyai frowned. He seemed to have heard something during the thunder, but the thunder was too loud for him to hear clearly.
"What's wrong?" Su Xi asked, noticing Lu Wuyai's furrowed brows. She assumed it was because he wasn't feeling well.
That night, Lu Wuyai did not sleep very soundly because thunder rumbled from time to time and occurred very frequently.
Even in the middle of the night, Lu Wuyai faintly heard some footsteps. At first, he thought it was a hallucination, but soon the sound of shoes splashing in water became clearer and clearer.
Lu Wuyai threw off the covers, walked into the cave, took out a periscope, and gazed at the scene in the darkness.
As a result, Lu Wuyai was a little stunned at this moment.
Under the dark curtain of rain, Lu Wuyai saw many people appear on the stone mountain.
The group of people looked panicked and were all wearing black raincoats. They didn't slow down at all as they passed the rocky hill.
You should know that there are many traps on the rocky mountain, and sometimes even Lu Wuyai and the others forget where they are.
However, this group was lucky. They only triggered some relatively simple traps. As for the bombs buried underground, they didn't touch a single one.
"They're lucky," Lu Wuyai thought to himself, "but what are these people doing?"
A rumbling sound.
A bolt of lightning streaked across the dark night sky, illuminating the clouds. The dim light fell on the deserted island, allowing Lu Wuyai to see more clearly.
There were more than twenty people in the group, all wearing raincoats. It was unclear who they were, but judging from their panicked movements, it seemed as if something was chasing each other in the darkness.
"Raincoat, rain boots, and it seems there's a gun." Lu Wuyai squinted, relying on his night vision goggles and periscope to capture as much information as possible.
