Back in the container, Lu Wuyai put on his hat. As he left, several land patrol robots followed behind. Su Xi and the others were searching for Lu Wuyai.
Speaking of these robots, besides patrolling, they also have the power of bombs.
Soon, Lu Wuyai continued digging at the containers buried deep under the snow-capped mountain, but this time, he planned to start digging from the foot of the mountain because the snow was falling faster than he had expected.
Half an hour later, Lu Wuyai raised his gun and fired, breaking the safety bolt on the opposite container, then opened the iron door. Snow suddenly began to fall, covering the surrounding area. In the blink of an eye, more than two meters of snow had piled up at the container door. The snow was quite deep.
Seeing this, Lu Wuyai was speechless and could only continue to work hard.
A few minutes later, Lu Wuyai finally entered the container. When he saw the contents of the packaging bag, he let out a long sigh of relief.
"Another box of underwear," Lu Wuyai muttered to himself.
This is already the second box of underwear. Most of the previous container had already been shipped out, and the remaining underwear was also tirelessly carried away by Lu Wuyai and the others.
After closing the door, Lu Wuyai continued digging into the adjacent containers and soon discovered a large quantity of summer clothes. One 40-meter-tall container was crammed full of short-sleeved shirts and shorts, along with some expensive jackets.
“Each of these jackets must have cost at least tens of thousands of dollars.” Lu Wuyai rubbed the fabric of the jacket and sighed.
Lu Wuyai carried these jackets to the outside world and stored them in different snowdrifts.
After that, Lu Wuyai opened eight or nine more containers. Although the contents were not surprising, they were still somewhat useful.
It was still daylight, so Lu Wuyai didn't wait any longer and went straight back to the container. He drove the woman here and began moving the underwear, undergarments, and coats.
As dusk fell, everyone drove away, leaving only Su Xi, You Li, and Xia Qingming on the beach.
After watching the truck drive away, they re-entered the container, looked at the door, and turned on the generator to keep warm.
After a while, white snowflakes began to fall, gradually covering the area.
......
As the car drove through the snow, before we knew it, it was completely dark.
Gu Yuxin sat in the passenger seat, staring out the dark car window, unable to see anything clearly.
Lu Wuyai focused intently on the scene before him, remaining highly vigilant at all times. Although he could see at night, the visual distance was significantly reduced under the snow.
At 10 p.m., everyone was exhausted, so they parked the car near the cave. Lu Wuyai told everyone to rest for a bit, and then he started unloading the cargo.
"Go to sleep," Lu Wuyai urged. He had rested enough during the day, so he didn't need to sleep.
Song Xiaoyou and the others have to get up before dawn to drive tomorrow, and they desperately need rest now.
“You need to rest too.” Gu Yuxin turned around, pushed everyone away, leaving only Lu Wuyai alone.
That night, Lu Wuyai worked until 3 a.m.
After checking the time, he simply sat in the car to rest. He didn't open his eyes until 6:30.
At this moment, Gu Yuxin and the others were already banging on the car door from outside. They were all bundled up tightly, clearly freezing.
"I had a good night's sleep, it felt really good." Lu Wuyai stretched, opened the car door, and greeted Moro.
"Let's go."
The convoy quickly left the rocky mountain and headed east, ignoring the snowstorm that was significantly heavier than the day before.
Around eleven o'clock, the convoy stopped on a familiar island. The clear sound of horns rang out, and Su Xi and the others walked out of the containers.
Lu Wuyai got out of the car, opened the trunk, and immediately began loading supplies. Seeing this, the others didn't hesitate either, knowing time was of the essence, and that several pickup trucks were also loading cargo nearby.
The others were not surprised. These survivors had arrived five days earlier, but judging from the size of the convoy, their numbers were far fewer than Lu Wuyai's group. The amount of materials transported at one time was limited.
Of course, it was inevitable that the two groups of survivors would inquire about some things, but Su Xi and the others harbored resentment towards each other and never spoke to each other when Lu Wuyai was not around.
“These people came again this morning.” Lu Wuyai saw the tire tracks on the ground, which were clearly not theirs.
Su Xi nodded and said, "But we didn't open the door, so they probably didn't know where we were. They were just knocking on the containers."
“Okay.” Lu Wuyai nodded. Now they only drive at night, spending most of the day on the island. On one hand, they are on guard; on the other hand, they have time to rest.
Of course, what frightens the other side is that the two groups had a brief confrontation not long ago. Although no shots were fired, some firearms were exposed, suggesting they had ulterior motives.
For his own safety, Lu Wuyai decided last night to bring some rockets, which are now stored in several nearby containers to prevent the other side from doing anything to obtain supplies.
Of course, Gu Yuxin also suggested that Lu Wuyai should strike first, that is, kill his opponent first.
However, Lu Wuyai still couldn't take action. After all, it had only been a verbal threat before.
Half an hour later, the supplies in the vehicles were gradually filled. Seeing that the vehicles in the distance had already driven away, Lu Wuyai inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking back, Lu Wuyai said to the other women, "I'm going to the forest to chop firewood. We'll have roasted sweet potatoes for lunch."
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but laugh. After all, it was winter, and being able to eat a hot sweet potato was a happy thing for anyone.
Holding his scimitar, Lu Wuyai hesitated for a long time outside the forest before finally choosing a mountain path he had never taken before.
The reason he chose an unfamiliar mountain road was because Lu Wuyai wanted a change of scenery and was also very curious about the island's terrain.
Soon, Lu Wuyai discovered many bushes along the rugged mountain path. Surprisingly, even in the season when everything else withered, these bushes produced small, translucent red fruits that looked like works of art.
Lu Wuyai licked his lips. He had originally wanted to try it, but then he thought that not all wild fruits are good.
So he picked some wild fruits and tucked them into a magazine he carried with him, intending to have Gu Yuxin study them carefully when he got back.
There were many red wild berries, most of which were covered by snow.
“There are too many of these things, and they taste really strange.” Lu Wuyai picked up a wild fruit and smelled it. The smell was a bit pungent, and he couldn’t quite put his finger on it.
Finally, he filled a box with wild fruit and walked around again.
Most of the forests on the island are white. If there's anything new about it, it's that the island's terrain is the most bizarre.
The long and narrow one does resemble a French baguette, but regardless, it is, after all, an island.
Standing on a snow-capped mountain, Lu Wuyai recalled the short-faced bear he had seen before and became increasingly curious about the land beneath his feet.
An hour later, Lu Wuyai returned to the container and found that the women had fallen asleep one after another, huddled together for warmth. It seemed they wouldn't wake up until dark.
Fortunately, Lu Wuyai also sat at the container door, watching the snowflakes falling from the sky, and felt a special sense of peace in his heart.
As dusk fell, the weather suddenly changed again. Lu Wuyai hurriedly woke up the sleeping woman and drove away from the island as quickly as possible.
In the sky, gray clouds drifted rapidly. Their visible speed of movement was truly frightening. This was why Lu Wuyai left before nightfall.
At 7 o'clock, the convoy entered the deserted island. At the same time, a storm suddenly struck, with terrible winds howling and pushing the vehicles to one side.
Fortunately, the cargo on the truck was heavy enough that it was not overturned by the sudden strong wind.
A minute later, the convoy regrouped and finally arrived at Shiqiu at nearly nine o'clock.
Amidst the raging winds, Lu Wuyai and the others hadn't had time to unload the cargo. After driving the vehicle into the garage, they quickly returned to the cave.
The moment the door closed, everyone seemed to enter another world. A deep drowsiness enveloped them, and many women wanted to go to sleep immediately.
Tonight, Gu Yuxin and the others will sleep in the corridor near the cave, where the heating in the living room will also provide them with warmth.
Lu Wuyai walked into the container. When he turned around, he noticed that the laboratory lights were still on, and he suddenly remembered the red wild berries he had found that morning.
Upon arriving at the laboratory, Gu Yuxin was wearing a white sterile suit. Around her were numerous new machines, all of which were operating silently.
Lu Wuyai took the magazine out of his pocket, opened it, put the red wild berries inside into a test tube, and handed it to Gu Yuxin.
"What is this?" Gu Yuxin asked.
"I don't know. Let's see if it's edible. There are plenty of things like that on the island." Lu Wuyai yawned, told Moloy to get some rest, then turned and went back to the container, falling into a deep sleep.
The storm showed no signs of abating the following day.
After breakfast, Lu Wuyai followed an excited Gu Yuxin to the laboratory. It was said that he had discovered the secret of the red wild fruit.
"This is the liquid I separated, the juice of red wild berries."
After receiving the test tube from Gu Yuxin, Lu Wuyai discovered that the juice content inside was actually quite high, and it also had a peculiar smell.
At this moment, Gu Yuxin took out a lighter from the drawer and suddenly lit it at the mouth of the test tube.
chug.
Two voices came from the air, startling Lu Wuyai. But when he looked at the test tube again, the liquid inside was burning.
Seeing Lu Wuyai's shocked expression, Gu Yuxin took a deep breath and said excitedly, "This wild fruit is a rare energy source. The extracted liquid burns better than gasoline. If we had a large quantity of this fruit, it would burn even better than gasoline. Therefore, we wouldn't even need to carry diesel or gasoline."
Although he had some suspicions in his mind, Lu Wuyai still wavered after hearing Moloyi's words.
Wild fruits discovered by chance actually have this effect.
Thinking of this, Lu Wuyai couldn't help but feel excited, but he still couldn't believe it. After confirming it again and again, he couldn't resist going to the island right now to transplant some of these plants.
If they use the black stones again, they can harvest a crop in a short time.
“Don’t worry, I’ve saved some wild fruit seeds. I can use the black stone to stimulate their growth,” Gu Yuxin said. In fact, she had placed these wild fruit seeds in the orchard early this morning. Relying on the power of the black stone, she estimated that they would sprout in a short time.
"Furthermore, to determine whether it can replace diesel and gasoline, we need to extract large quantities of this wild fruit and test it to see how effective it is..."
"It's alright, I'll get my skis. These are just some fruit anyway, I can't wait to try them out." With that, Lu Wuyai hurriedly left, put on his skis, and immediately left the rocky mountain, skiing towards the small island.
"Hey, don't rush..." Gu Yuxin shouted, but Lu Wuyai had already left the cave.
Although the storm was still raging, it could not destroy Lu Wuyai's yearning heart.
Using his skis for mobility, Lu Wuyai traversed the snowstorm alone. He understood that the discovery of the red wild fruit would bring about significant changes to their lives.
Two hours later, Lu Wuyai arrived on the island. The storm had subsided slightly, but visibility was still very low.
Lu Wuyai put down his backpack, a compression backpack that could hold something larger than his body.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Wuyai entered the forest and immediately discovered wild fruits.
These wild fruits are well preserved under the snow, probably because of their strange taste, which makes them unappetizing to most animals.
Soon, Lu Wuyai opened his backpack and began picking the wild fruits.
Outside the island, the wind howled, but the forest remained quiet.
Because there were so many wild fruits, Lu Wuyai quickly picked them all. In no time, he had filled half a bag. The mixed fruity aroma wafted to his nose, causing him to sneeze several times.
An hour later, Lu Wuyai tightened his backpack, fastened his shoelaces, put on his skis, and instantly shot off the island like an arrow.
It wasn't until after 2 p.m. that Lu Wuyai returned to the cave, carrying his backpack and walking directly into the laboratory.
"These wild fruits are enough for an experiment," Gu Yuxin said excitedly.
Afterwards, Gu Yuxin and Song Xiaoyou began extracting the juice, while Lu Wuyai led his men to the garage and unloaded the supplies that had been delivered yesterday into the hole under the dead tree.
After unloading the goods, Lu Wuyai carried a brand-new diesel generator into the laboratory. At that moment, the fruit juice was successfully extracted.
Seeing that Lu Wuyai had returned, Gu Yuxin filtered the extracted juice again and then poured the light red liquid into the generator.
Lu Wuyai pressed the switch, and after the generator trembled for a while, a constant power began to slowly start.
Seeing this, Lu Wuyai and Song Xiaoyou exchanged a glance and naturally understood that the generator had been successfully started.
"Don't get too excited yet. Let's see if there are any problems during use," Gu Yuxin said.
Gu Yuxin kicked Lu Wuyai out of the laboratory, telling him not to get in her way.
“If there are any problems, there’s nothing you can do here,” Gu Yuxin said.
In the end, Lu Wuyai had no choice but to leave, but he kept thinking about the generator.
It wasn't until just before dinner that Gu Yuxin told the others about the wild fruit, which immediately surprised everyone.
No one could believe that there exists a wild fruit juice in this world that can replace gasoline and diesel and has highly efficient combustion properties.
"The generator is still running, so there's no problem yet," Molloy said with a smile, adding that she was also looking forward to the effects of the wild fruit.
After finishing his meal, Lu Wuyai heard the wind outside had stopped. He opened the door and found that white snowflakes had once again covered the rocky mountain, fluttering down like goose feathers, a breathtakingly beautiful sight.
"If this continues, the deserted island will turn into a snow island."
It was already a blizzard. Lu Wuyai gave up on the idea of moving supplies that night, closed the door, and went back inside.
In the living room, Gu Yuxin, Han Shuyi, and Li Ruisi were watching a movie. They hadn't left the cave yet, and might stay there in the future.
Su Xi and Yu Mengrou were kneading dough. Dinner tonight was dumplings, because today is Lunar New Year's Eve, and tomorrow is Lunar New Year's Day.
If there is no New Year, then create your own New Year atmosphere.
Lu Wuyai gathered several bundles of golden wheat ears from the rice paddy and placed them in a few porcelain jars. They looked full of meaning. Then he went to the orchard and harvested some fruit, something he had never done before for this season. For example, durian and dragon fruit, as well as peaches and apples.
At the dining table, Song Xiaoyou and Xia Qingming were cutting meat, their aggressive voices echoing from time to time, making them seem very anxious.
"Lu Wuyai, come and help me," Su Xi said. The women were a little disappointed because the dumpling wrappers had failed to meet the standards several times.
Lu Wuyai went over and kneaded the dough several hundred times, and clear gluten membranes appeared in the dough. The quality of the dough was excellent.
“Men have strong hands.” Yu Mengrou sighed.
Half an hour later, everyone started cooking dumplings. Lu Wuyai returned to the lab and found Gu Yuxin staring at the generator, which still contained at least half a bottle of juice.
"What's wrong?" Lu Wuyai asked.
Gu Yuxin: "It's nothing, this generator should be fine."
Upon hearing this, Lu Wuyai narrowed his eyes and smiled. It seemed that they would have another task to complete in their lives from now on.
Lu Wuyai took out several brown branches from his backpack. These were from a plant that produced small red fruits.
“I’ve also studied these plants. They have a strong odor that most animals probably wouldn’t like.” Molloy meant that there would be no harm in planting these things outdoors.
However, this season is not suitable for planting.
After finishing their meal, everyone enjoyed a delicious dumpling feast. Just as they were getting ready for bed, Lu Wuyai and the others overheard Gu Yuxin's question.
"Is that a cell phone? It seems to have been flashing since just now," Gu Yuxin said, pointing to the transparent plastic bag hanging on the wall.
The item in the bag was indeed a cell phone; the fleeting light clearly indicated that someone was making a call.
Seeing this, everyone was somewhat bewildered.
I don't know how much time has passed since the last call, but my phone has been charging, which is why I expected this situation.
Once everyone realized what was happening, they immediately rushed forward.
Lu Wuyai took the phone down from its glowing screen. The caller ID showed an unfamiliar number. Everyone else shook their heads, clearly unsure who the call was for.
Soon, Lu Wuyai pressed the answer button, and a woman's voice came from the other end of the phone.
