Everyone Survives In The Fog

I was thinking about taming wild beasts when a message suddenly came from the "Mist Survival Manual".

Qi Yuan looked down and found that it was a message from Gao Hanzhi.

Gao Hanzhi: "Qi Yuan, you said yesterday that you were looking for vines. I explored near the shelter today and collected some. I will send them to you."

Along with the message, there were dozens of cyan vines as thick as a baby's arms.

Qi Yuan couldn't help but sigh that he was really blessed by the goddess of luck today. Gao Hanzhi and these vines were a real help in times of need.

As soon as the animal trap was opened, materials were delivered to the door.

Harvesting the vines is indeed needed to make the animal trap.

Qi Yuan thanked him and said, "I'm very sincere, but I'm just worried about the lack of materials."

After a few simple thanks, Qi Yuan sent another 50 ml of spring water as a token of gratitude.

At the same time, he asked: "Is your shelter still at level two? How is the collection of materials going? Can it be upgraded before the cold snap?"

After a moment of hesitation, the message came.

Gao Hanzhi: "The quantity of wood is enough, but there are still more than 200 units of stone. It will be difficult to collect it in these two days."

The upgrade of the shelter is what worries Gao Hanzhi the most!

The environment is getting worse and worse, and the temperature has been below zero for a long time. If we do not upgrade to a level three shelter, you can imagine how difficult life will be in the future.

Every survivor knows the importance of upgrading the shelter, but only a few people can truly complete the task easily.

Qi Yuan frowned and asked, "Are you bad at picking? Or is there no stone around the shelter?"

Gao Hanzhi explained: "There are two factors. My shelter is in a swamp, there are relatively few stones around, and my pickaxe is only ordinary level."

Seeing this, Qi Yuan also felt helpless.

When it comes to the worst places to spawn, the swamp is definitely one of them.

A rainy and humid environment will inevitably cause rheumatic bone pain if you stay there for a long time, so it is definitely not a place suitable for long-term living.

And because there is too much moisture in the air, it gets even colder at low temperatures. At the same temperature, it feels more than 5 degrees colder in the swamp.

The most important thing is that there may be a quagmire somewhere in the swamp, and if you step into it, you will be doomed.

Compared with his birth point, it is just a little barren, but it is still acceptable. The location of Gao Hanzhi's shelter is obviously even worse.

However, Qi Yuan thought for a moment and suddenly sent a message: "Is the soil next to your shelter very fertile?"

"It's okay, it looks quite soft to me, but the lighting here is very poor, so it's not suitable for growing most crops."

Qi Yuan showed a clear look. The swamp was rich in vegetation and the soil was mostly leaf mold, which was a natural fertilizer.

"Classmate Gao, I will help you gather the stones you are missing. Can you help me collect some soil in the next few days?"

"Collecting dirt?"

Gao Hanzhi was a little confused, but after thinking about it, she understood Qi Yuan's needs.

Although her own development is slow, she has also seen many similar requests in the chat channel.

After many survivors have solved their dietary problems, they will look for long-term and stable food sources, which is planting and breeding.

Therefore, they will buy soil, various seeds, wild beast cubs and other items, and the prices are not low.

Some time ago, there was a foreign survivor who spent a lot of money to buy a pair of rabbits.

Obviously, Qi Yuan is this type of person.

"Well, just help me collect some fertile soil and trade it to me."

As if feeling that something was missing, Qi Yuan added another sentence.

"I can give you a meal!"

When Gao Hanzhi saw this sentence, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Classmate Qi, your landlord's family has a surplus of food! Are you trying to support me?"

As soon as the information came through, Qi Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but twitching his mouth: "Do things for me, including food and shelter. It's not considered maintenance! At most, it's a labor contract."

"Haha, okay, Boss Qi!"

Another secondary shelter in a swamp.

Gao Hanzhi couldn't help laughing, with a smile in her beautiful eyes. She had been in the misty world for so long, and she had been in fear, and her spirit was always tense.

Now that I have an acquaintance to chat with, the pressure has been significantly relieved.

Qi Yuan did not treat his old classmate badly. He directly used 50ml of spring water to exchange for 200 units of stones in the trading market and traded it to Gao Hanzhi.

"Upgrade your shelter first. According to my observation, if you don't upgrade to a level three shelter before the cold wave, it will be difficult to survive the low temperature weather." Qi Yuan reminded by the way.

The insulation of the secondary shelter is so poor that even with a fireplace, the indoor temperature is close to freezing, making it difficult to survive.

"Okay, Boss Qi. Thank you very much!" Gao Hanzhi replied with a smile.

This left Qi Yuan in a daze. In his impression, Gao Hanzhi in high school was unsmiling and had a very cold personality.

It seems that after experiencing the difficulties of the foggy world, it is easier for people to open their hearts.

No one can stubbornly say: I can live well on my own without needing anyone else.

Most ordinary people, when they are afraid and under pressure, are eager to find similar people.

Qi Yuan also understands this feeling. After all, when he first came to the mist world, he was hiding in a first-level shelter and shivering.

Qi Yuan smiled and replied: "You're welcome, Gao Employee, work hard and find more fertile soil, the quantity should be larger."

"Okay boss!"

"..."

After chatting with Gao Hanzhi, Qi Yuan felt a lot more relaxed and less stressed.

The next time is the time for daily shopping in the trading market.

There are too many people in the chat channel, and the screen is constantly scrolling. After a while, I feel dizzy. So Qi Yuan spent most of his time visiting the trading market.

As the cold snap approaches, the prices of warm and food items in the trading market have skyrocketed.

A cotton coat can cost more than 300 stones.

A piece of bread costs 100 stones or wood.

And prices are still rising, and the market has begun to collapse.

On the one hand, it is because of the huge market demand. On the other hand, it is also because wood and stone have depreciated.

Previously, because the shelter had to be upgraded, wood and stone were hard currencies.

But after reaching the third-level shelter, the system does not display the materials required for the fourth-level shelter.

So for people reaching shelter level 3, the need for wood and stone is reduced.

Relatively speaking, the prices of other items have also dropped significantly.

No matter how good the props are, nothing is as real as having a full meal.

Because food is so scarce.

Therefore, Qi Yuan's goal is to clear out some good-quality props, preferably ones that have long-term significance for future development.

Soon, he caught an object at a glance among the vast number of high-grade items.

[Name: Basement (Good)

Function: Build a 20-square-meter basement with ventilation system.

Introduction: It’s a bit dark with insufficient lighting. 】

Props similar to fences can expand the area of ​​the shelter, and it is also underground.

Compared with the ground, the insulation effect of the underground is obviously better, it is also more concealed, and it is more suitable for living. However, the lighting problem needs to be solved, otherwise life will be very inconvenient.

But these are minor issues.

Qi Yuan looked at the price and found that the seller needed food and clothing, which put him in some danger.

Qi Yuan was reluctant to take out these strategic materials. No one knew how long the cold wave would last. The more food, the better.

In the end, Qi Yuan sent 100ml of spring water to test it out.

However, the man did not reply immediately. Qi Yuan continued to browse other products.
