"It's the top of the mountain, but not the original top of the mountain. Sister Bailu is making medicine. Yingchun is as exhausted as you, so she is lying next to you." Yunwen said.

I immediately realized that this was the isolated peak that we had visited during an outing but did not climb up. It is located at the other end of the City Wall Mountain, forming a beacon tower with the isolated peak of Bigfoot's lair, which is equivalent to a neighbor separated by a city wall mountain.

"There are no stone steps to the top of the mountain. How did you get up? And how did you carry Yingchun and me up together?" I asked.

"It's strange. We were afraid that the insects would pop up on the ground at night, so we tried to stay away from places where there were insect eggs and the cave. We thought the farthest place we could be was the bottom of the mountain. But we didn't expect there was another secret here. Sister Bailu accidentally touched the switch hidden in the mountain wall. After pulling it down, the mountain wall opened like a barn door, revealing a ladder inside. The ladder was made of iron, and the three of us carried you up and got here. After we came up, Sister Yingchun fainted." Yunwen said.

"Switch? There is a switch in such a secluded place. It's so weird." I said.

"Yes, we also find it strange and unbelievable, but it is indeed true. I will take you to see it tomorrow." Yunwen said.

I nodded.

At the moment, my lungs were still feeling a little burning pain, and my head was still uncomfortable, so I didn't continue talking, otherwise I would be torturing myself. Seeing that I was uncomfortable, she supported me and let me rest for a while. I remembered that in the illusion, Yunwen was dressed in bright and beautiful clothes, with a dignified manner, and she looked exactly the same when I first saw her on the plane. But now everything has changed, and she has become so miserable. I feel really sad.

But what makes me secretly happy is that fortunately the world here is real, and the world where the plane did not crash is fake. Because of this, Yunwen, who depends on me in every way and cares for me, is real, and I am satisfied to have her by my side like this.

Thinking of this, I realized that I had already held Yunwen's tender hand. This was too offensive. I was about to put it away, and Yunwen bit her lip and smiled, coughed and said, "I'll go find Sister Bailu and tell her about your situation. I'll bring you medicine later."

She patted my hand gently, and I quickly let go and said, "Oh, okay."

After she left, I stood up and looked around. I saw that I was lying on a piece of grass covered with animal skins, with a few trees blocking the view. A little further to the side was where Yingchun was lying. She was tossing and turning on another piece of grass in some discomfort, but she was still unconscious.

There is a cliff not far ahead. Below it should be the dangerous area of ​​the island. Behind it are many bushes, and it is difficult to make out what is going on. On the left is the way we came up. We can vaguely see the iron steps, and below it is a silver door. It is not very clear in the dark, but it is estimated that it is an iron door, and part of the mountain wall outside is used for camouflage.

This is a common tactic in many secret military bases, built in valleys and hidden in valleys, built in woods and hidden in woods, relying on nature as some kind of hiding condition. I am very familiar with it, but it also makes me a little confused. Since there are such switch devices and structural arrangements, is there any military unit nearby?

Outside the iron gate is the road we came from, the mountain road of the City Wall Mountain. Even in the middle of night, we can still vaguely see those huge flesh worms lying in a mess in the distance.

Yes, the eagles couldn't take the food away, and they couldn't finish eating it, so they stayed there.

There was a fire on the right, which I thought was where Bailu and the others had made a bonfire. At this time, I also heard some strange noises, like the sound of iron colliding, clanging and banging. Although it was far away and the sound was relatively quiet, my ears were professionally trained and I could hear it at once.

Not long after, Bai Lu came up with a torch, and Yunwen was holding a bowl of soup. The firelight reflected the container. If I was not mistaken, that thing was made of metal.

"I heard from Yunwen that you just woke up? How are you? Tell me how you are feeling now." Bai Lu squatted down and said to me.

Yunwen took the iron soup spoon and tried to feed me mouthful by mouthful, so I drank it mouthful by mouthful. In between, she answered, "My lungs feel burning, and my head feels a little dizzy and painful, but nothing else. By the way, the spoons you have are made of aluminum, right?"

"Yes, you can see it at a glance." Yunwen replied.

"The lunch boxes used by soldiers are mostly made of aluminum because they are lighter. I am very familiar with that thing, so I knew it as soon as I picked it up," I said.

"We found this on the top of the mountain. I don't know if it was left behind by the soldiers. The lunch boxes look very similar. There are also some camping items. We washed them in a puddle next to it before using them." Bai Lu said

I was asked to drink a lot of the medicine soup, and the rest was fed to Yingchun. She was also woken up, looking very weak, and then she vomited again.

After drinking the medicine soup, I took a special look at the lunch box. It was indeed the military aluminum lunch box used abroad. I turned it over and found that the right side was deformed, so that the lid could not be closed. In addition, there was a strange-shaped hole on the lid of the lunch box, as if something had been forced in, revealing a large layer of peeling skin.

"It seems that those soldiers have been here, encountered something, and then discarded this lunch box. There are scratches and twisted parts on it. It must be related to that thing. We'd better be careful. When I feel better, we'll evacuate here as soon as possible." I said.

"We thought so too. Sister Yunwen and I discussed it. There are more trees here than on the top of the mountain where Bigfoot lives. The birds of prey probably won't attack here. There are also tents left by our predecessors here, so there is no problem sheltering from the rain. That's why we thought of staying here for the time being. We'll listen to you on other arrangements." Bai Lu said.

"Well, it rains a lot during the plum rain season, and as the saying goes, food and fodder must be prepared before troops move. We need to store enough food and make sure our bodies can withstand the hardship. We still have time to leave. We just need to stay together and not act alone. Just make sure we protect our own safety." I said.

We suffered great losses from this disaster. The mycelium that we cultivated with great difficulty to grow wood ear mushrooms is now gone. The stone mill and wheat were also left over there. They were probably burned to ashes along with the fire. The days of stability that we had finally achieved were shattered by our carelessness.

Fortunately, the wheat seeds I rescued are still there. As long as the mountains are green, there will still be firewood to burn. But I'm afraid I'll have to wait until next year.

That night, Yingchun and I were in more serious condition, so we did not keep watch. Yunwen and Bailu kept watch for us. During the day, I was in better condition after taking medicine and getting enough rest. After getting up in the morning, after we hurriedly finished a simple breakfast, I suddenly made a decision to prevent anyone who went to the island from encountering the same disaster as us.

In order to make up for the survival difficulties caused by my own mistakes, I decided to go back and pile up the stones again so that those white demons would never come out of the cave to wreak havoc on the world. The cutworms would not be able to survive the winter and would die in large numbers. The adult insects would at most make a noise in the cave and would not reproduce outside. Even if the larvae came out, they would be eaten and would not cause a major disaster.

Although the girls thought this was dangerous, they were also afraid that the giant moths would come out and attack people, so they planned to go with me after dinner to avoid future troubles.
