American Comics: BOSS Invasion

#830 - After the Rain

The rain was quite heavy, with dense raindrops forming a curtain, pouring down relentlessly.

Now that was good, Harry didn't want to leave in the first place, especially since Qi Shan had helped him set up a tent, giving him a place to temporarily settle down. Who would want to sleep on the beach?

The sound of rain was incessant, raindrops hitting the leaves, making a crackling sound.

Both had eaten their fill and were already feeling a bit tired. Now that it was raining and there was nothing else to do, they looked at each other and simultaneously crawled into the tent.

Since there was an outsider present, Qi Shan chose to stay in the tent.

The underground space had been transformed into a Japanese-style manor the previous night. They even used projection technology to project a starry sky onto the dark rock ceiling.

After installing a large oxygen generator and air circulation system, the underground world was now perfectly habitable.

The night passed without incident, and dawn broke the next day.

When the sun rose again, the two of them crawled out of their tents one after the other.

The rain the previous night had been heavy, and the surrounding ground was still wet.

The small rocky flat ground looked much better, but there were still scattered puddles of water.

"How did you sleep?"

"Pretty good! After just one night sleeping on the beach, I had almost forgotten what a bed felt like. Buddy, you have no idea what it felt like to lie on that bed last night. I really wanted to moan from the inside out!"

Harry praised exaggeratedly, then suddenly remembered something. He took out two disposable toothbrushes from his small bag and said with a smile, "I found these on the plane, and I was originally going to keep them for myself, but now I'll give you one as a small token of my appreciation!"

Qi Shan smiled and said, "Then thank you!"

Qi Shan didn't decline. Even a wilderness survival expert needs to brush his teeth, and besides, his manner of appearance meant that he couldn't possibly have brought toiletries with him.

So he reached out and took it directly, and then called out to Harry. The two of them went straight to the pool to clean up.

Perhaps because it had rained the night before, the water in the pool was very cold.

The two simply rubbed their faces and immediately felt refreshed.

Harry looked in the direction of the beach and could vaguely see some moving black dots through the gaps in the trees. The heavy rain the previous night must have had a significant impact on the survivors.

With the sudden downpour, there wasn't even a place to shelter from the rain on the beach. Even hiding in the woods wouldn't have helped. One night was enough to turn anyone into a drowned rat.

Fortunately, when the plane crashed, about 1/3 of the front section of the cabin remained. Although the contents were a mess, with a large number of suitcases piled on the ground, it could still be used as a tent to shelter from the rain in a pinch.

Just thinking about the 40 or so people crammed into a narrow cave all night gave Harry a chilling feeling.

"What are your plans for tomorrow? Continue with me in the wilderness, looking for food for today, or go back and see what's going on?"

Qi Shan asked casually, with no special expression on his face.

Harry hesitated. He had to admit that having his own small tent here with Qi Shan was quite nice, but the survivors over there clearly needed help more.

He had previously felt that it was because of his bad luck that he had brought everyone to such a dangerous situation. To make up for his mistakes, he had to infect everyone with an optimistic attitude and give them the confidence to survive.

But don't worry, I'm a property owner here, so I'll definitely be back. I'll be back in two days at most.

By the way, there are many unclaimed suitcases on the plane, and they are a mess, with all kinds of things in them. Is there anything you need? I'll go back and take a look. If there's anything suitable, I'll bring it to you!"

Qi Shan thought for a moment: "Needle and thread and a few T-shirts. I've been wearing this shirt for several days now, and I need to have a change of clothes.

Oh, and if you can find a sleeping bag, please get me one. If not, then forget it.

In about three days, I will be able to build a new shelter!"

Harry made an OK gesture: "Don't worry, I'll get it done for you!"

Since he had decided to leave, Harry didn't stay any longer, but he still needed to replenish his water supply.

He discussed it with Qi Shan and took away the bottled water he had brought, and also lay down by the small pool and drank his fill.

The rain last night was timely, at least it replenished the survivors' important fresh water supply.

The two waved goodbye, and Harry disappeared into the dense forest, his feet sinking deep into the mud.

As soon as he left, Qi Shan slapped the ground.

An invisible force surged out, instantly transforming into a crude wooden house.

There was also a fence around the outside, made of wrist-thick branches, uneven at the top but deep in the soil at the bottom.

The area wasn't small, but it enclosed the entire platform, including the small toilet and the entire pool that Qi Shan had previously installed.

The wooden house looked a bit larger, about a dozen square meters. The exterior was neat, but the wood didn't feel very smooth.

Qi Shan stroked his chin, looked at the branches intertwined above, and suddenly snapped his fingers.

Several small vines suddenly extended from the connection points, as if they were alive, and wrapped around the middle to tie a knot.

Looking at it this way, the exterior was even more rugged and more primitive.

Qi Shan looked around and smiled with satisfaction.

He stretched out his palm upwards, and a suitable-sized round log appeared. He held a short dagger in his right hand and inserted it horizontally, then stretched out two fingers and casually carved out some wood chips on the log, and a simple woodworking tool was made.

He raised a sign on the flat ground and made a few similar-looking wooden squares.

It looked like he was doing woodworking.

Several tree branches were deliberately extended from the outer walls of the wooden house. Qi Shan took out some things from his inner space and hung them on it in a similar fashion.

In this way, a simple version of the cabin in the woods was made. The next time he comes, he will definitely be surprised and speechless.

Qi Shan's mouth curled up slightly, and his body slowly sank into the ground.

Now that the audience was gone, there was no need to continue the act. It was better to return to the comfortable space first.

Last time, Qi Shan had specially brought out a game console from his inner world, and he hadn't had enough of playing it yet!
