Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Shall I provide them with lightning rods?

Xu Xin is personally willing. He and the others possess unique skills. If they really die in this thunderstorm, it will definitely be a big loss.

But the focus of this matter lies with Li Wenxi, whether she is willing, after all, the black gold is in her hands.

Xu Xin sent a video to Li Wenxi.

It was almost instant. At this time, Li Wenxi was lying by the window, looking at the dark clouds outside, and exclaimed: "Xu Xin, there is a flash of lightning on my side! Just now, many thunderbolts have struck the lightning rod of my tree house Come on! I have never seen such a thick lightning, it is terrible!"

Although she said so, there was no trace of fear on her face, and she was even a little excited.

Xu Xin shared his thoughts with her.

Li Wenxi showed a somewhat embarrassed expression: "Actually, I really want to help them, but it takes ten pieces of black gold ore to smelt a black gold nugget, and it takes an hour to smelt one piece. I set up a furnace to burn black gold nuggets, and now there are only twelve pieces, so the lightning rod needs five pieces..."

Li Wenxi's meaning was obvious. She spent time and effort, carried it again, and burned it all night. Only a dozen or so black gold nuggets were left. The quantity was too small, and she didn't want to use it for others.

Xu Xin can understand her thoughts very well. She doesn't have much resources, and she wants to help others, which is sheer madness. To be talented is to help the world as well, and now even one’s own is not necessarily enough, so it’s enough to be good on one’s own.

"I didn't expect black gold nuggets to be so difficult to obtain. It's because I didn't think carefully." Xu Xin felt that what she just said was a bit like a bitch, and apologized a little embarrassedly.

"When there are more black gold nuggets in the future, go help them. After all, I am also a member of an organization. I have benefited from their information. But with the weather outside, I don't know when I can go out to mine next time."

During the conversation between the two, the thunderstorm outside has not stopped, and it has even become more and more dense.

When Xu Xin first woke up, the thunder was only two or three times a minute, but now it sounds every ten or so seconds.

"I can't even hear what you're talking about." Li Wenxi covered her ears and rubbed her ears, the thunder was too loud, "I don't know when it will stop, isn't it the rainy season today, why is there only thunder but no rain... Huh?"

She suddenly widened her eyes and looked out of the window, then took a breath of cold air: "It's on fire! There's a fire in the distance! Lightning strikes caused a fire!"

"What?" Xu Xin looked out of his window immediately. Although the lightning strikes continued, there was no tendency to catch fire for the time being.

However, the lightning is dense, and it may only be a matter of time before the forest fire is caused.

Thinking like lightning, Xu Xin gave a suggestion in an instant: "Hurry up, go down and cut down all the trees around the tree house, and make a firebreak, so that the fire will not spread! Don't worry about lightning, the lightning rod will Lure all the thunders that are closer!"

"Oh good! I'll go right away!" Li Wenxi hurriedly hung up the video.

At this time, Ji Zhaoyang also sent a message in the group.

"Guys, the thunderstorms that preceded this heavy rain are likely to cause forest fires.

My tree house was also struck by lightning a few times just now. Some things in the tree house were destroyed by the lightning current. This lightning strike can destroy the items in the house, but it doesn't seem to work for us, and it won't set the tree house on fire.

But don't take it lightly because of this and wait in the tree house like this, the tree in the distance is likely to catch fire.

Now we'd better bring important things down from the tree house, and then cut down the trees around the tree house to form a firebreak around it, so that if there is a forest fire, we can also reduce the loss to the minimum.

There is no need to worry too much about the lightning hitting us near the tree house, because the tree house is very high and will attract lightning for us. Of course, be careful when going down the tree house, so as not to be hit by it. Do it as soon as possible, there is already a fire in the distance on my side, we just need to hold out until the rainstorm comes. "

At the same time, he also sent this passage to the regional channel. The difference is that he added another sentence to the regional channel.

"Survivors of low-rise tree houses who have not raised the number of floors must be careful. Your tree house is not high enough to attract lightning. It is up to you to decide whether to go down and cut down the firebreak."

From his words, Xu Xin learned that the tree house was struck by lightning to the extent that the items in the house would be damaged, which is not very serious.

This guy actually thought of so much in just a few minutes, and even sorted out the strategy and posted it directly, which Xu Xin had to admire.

Just now, he felt that the higher level of the tree house would be very disadvantageous for other people without lightning rods, but Ji Zhaoyang grasped the point directly.

The biggest hazard of this thunderstorm is not lightning strikes, but the possible bushfires! After all, lightning strikes can't hurt people in the tree house, but forest fires can!

"Ji Chaoyang is right. We must clean up the surrounding area immediately. It is not yet seven o'clock. Judging from previous activities, the rainstorm season will probably start at nine o'clock. Two hours is enough time for forest The fire has spread far, everyone must pay attention!" Xu Xin also sent a message on the regional channel.

The two bigwigs in the first and second ranks both spoke with strong convincing power. Immediately, the regional channel was filled with words of gratitude.

"Thank you two big guys!"

"There is also a fire in the distance on my side! Now go down and cut down trees!"

"Haha, I have already cut down all the trees around me, so it's easy!"

"My God, there are birches and pines growing around me!"

"Just cut it. The materials that are not fully grown will be much less, but it is not impossible. I tried to cut it before."

"Understood, go down immediately!"

And those survivors who didn't get higher treehouse floors in the last event are also discussing.

"What should I do? Do you want to go down, in case you are struck by lightning..."

"Maybe it won't catch fire?"

"What are you thinking? With such dense thunder, the possibility of fire is too great!"

"Fuck, there's a fire here! It's over, it's over!"

"Hey, I can't go on like this anymore, labor and management want to go down, it's better to be struck to death by lightning than to be burned to death! Death is almost painless!"

"It makes sense, I'll go down too!" "I'll go down too!" "Together!"

On Xu Xin's side, as a thunder fell, a flame suddenly sprang up about a kilometer away.

Fortunately, there is no strong wind in the forest now, so the forest fire did not spread quickly.

Xu Xin took this opportunity to quickly come to the tree house. In order to speed up the felling, he made an iron ax (blue), and also made a shovel (blue).

[Iron ax (blue): High-grade iron ax, extremely sharp and tough, can cut down the highest purple-level trees and some special types of trees. Durability 3000. 】

The iron ax (blue) has a durability of up to 3000 points, and the efficiency of cutting down green-level trees with one ax is double that of the stone axe, and it can also cut down some special types of trees. However, Xu Xin has never encountered a tree that cannot be cut down by a stone axe.

As for the shovel, there is a 50% chance of transplanting trees, which he prepared for the apple tree below.

He has already cleared the area under the tree house during the novice protection period. What he needs to do now is to expand this area again. If there is a fire in the jungle, at least the flames cannot affect the surrounding area. canopy.

Under the treehouse, the apple trees he planted are just bearing fruit, and the pine and birch trees have also grown.

"According to the time, the apple tree is indeed just right, but it seems that the pine tree and birch tree will fully grow tomorrow, right?" Xu Xin was puzzled, but now is not the time to think about it.

The efficiency of the iron ax was very high. Xu Xin first came to the pine and birch forest, felled and collected all the wood one by one with the axe, and then began to go around the tree house and began to cut wood crazily.

The dark clouds in the sky seemed to be getting lower and lower, and he didn't even want to look up at this mountain-like cloud.

The dark thunderstorm cloud was pressing on his head, combined with the thick and humid air, which made him a little out of breath. He could only follow the falling lightning, swinging the ax in his hand, his head was hit by this every ten seconds. There will be a thunderous thunder that makes me a little dizzy.

Fortunately, the surrounding lightning was all attracted by the tree house and the lightning rod, and did not cause any harm to him. On the contrary, the lightning rod on the top of his tree roof was emitting a dazzling white light, which seemed to be fully charged.

The sky on the other side was dyed red by forest fires, and even the sizzling heat had hit, Xu Xin accelerated the speed of felling.

The area Xu Xin wants to cut down is much larger than the others, but fortunately, more than 100 square meters is not too big.

He went back and forth back and forth to the tree house to put wood several times, and finally he cut out an open space around the tree house with a width of about 20 meters as a fire break.

The general forest firebreak is 40 to 60 meters, but it also depends on the type of vegetation around. If it is all lawn, ten meters is almost enough, and if it is shrubland, it is usually 60 meters.

Xu Xin has already cleared all the bushes on the ground, 20 meters is barely enough, the most important thing is that he can already see the fire spreading in the distance and the sky stained red, and he can't go on any longer.

The apple tree (blue) was also planted outside the tree house. Xu Xin came to the fruit tree, picked all the fruits, and then shoveled down the roots of the fruit tree without hesitation.

There was already an apple tree in the plantation on the roof of his tree, so the already fruited tree wasn't that important.

The three-meter-high small fruit tree fell slowly to the ground.

【Obtain apple tree seeds*1】

【Obtain apple tree (blue)*1, which can be transplanted into the soil of green level and above, please transplant as soon as possible within 24 hours. 】

It worked! There is a 50% chance that he will pass the test!

Of course, because of the koi bonus, the actual probability is not 50%. He has tried it before, and the 50% probability is not a 50% probability for him, but about two out of every three times.

Back at the tree house, standing by the window on the third floor, Xu Xin looked in the direction of the forest fire, where one or two burning trees had turned into a whole sea of ​​flames. I can feel the rush of heat.

Fortunately, the wind speed was not strong, and the air was very humid, so the fire was not too serious.

"Fortunately, fortunately there is no strong wind, and the fire is not spreading quickly." Xu Xin was slightly relieved.

If it was only at this speed, it might take a long time for it to spread to his side. He picked up the ax and thought about whether to go down and cut down some trees. After all, it would be a pity if they were burned.

However, as if he heard his words, when he was about to turn around, the originally thin breeze outside suddenly became violent!

The wind was strong, and some relatively thin poplar trees were directly bent. The sound of the wind was like a train whizzing past, mixed with the increasingly dense thunder, playing a death march.

And the flames in the distance instantly surged due to the wind, and even a few small flames that had just been struck by lightning jumped up directly. Many fires broke out in the jungle, and began to spread rapidly due to the wind!

The sound of wind, thunder, lightning, forest fire, the scenery in front of me is like the end of the world.

Xu Xin was also scratched on the cheek by small stones carried by the oncoming strong wind, causing pain.

His eyes twitched.

Hey, the crow's mouth is actually me!
