Survival: Fighting floods from a thatched hut

After putting on his pants and shoes, Zhang Chi put on his raincoat.

He checked the manual space and brought his axe, pickaxe, and shovel.

He brought so many tools because he was worried that he would not have the tools to mine if he encountered something good.

Although the pickaxe and shovel were not of high quality, they were better than being bare-handed.

Zhang Chi looked at the contract scroll on the table, and after thinking about it, he decided to bring the scroll with him.

The purpose of bringing it was not to catch pets. He was mainly thinking that if he encountered a creature that he could not solve, he could at least control it for a while, not to mention contracting it directly?

Maybe Zhang Chi could run away with this little time.

Xiaohong in the planting box kept staring at Zhang Chi, and when he saw him take out the contract scroll, his eyes lit up.

"Hu, hu!"

Hearing the noise, Zhang Chi walked towards Xiaohong, and saw that it kept pointing at the scroll in his hand with green leaves, so he put the scroll in front of Xiaohua.

"You want this? Contract with me?"

"Hu." Xiaohong nodded happily.

Zhang Chi showed a difficult expression on his face. It was not that he did not want to contract Xiao Hong, nor was he reluctant to give up a scroll.

But his current strength was too weak. Although he had the Xuanling arm crossbow, it was uncertain whether he could hit anyone.

At this time, if there was a contract scroll to control it a little, he might be able to kill her.

At least he could buy himself a little more time.

Although he did not want to see Xiao Hong sad, he decided to refuse without much hesitation.

Just kidding, the world is big, and your life is the most important.

"I still have a use for this thing. I will give it to you when I become stronger in the future."

Xiao Hong was anxious, waving the leaves desperately, pointing at the scroll and then pointing outside.

"Do you mean that you can go outside with me after you sign the contract?"

"Huh, huh." Xiao Hong nodded vigorously.

Zhang Chi was silent for a moment, thinking of the coin-sized charred on the wood, and stretched out his hand to poke Xiao Hong's little face.

"You were just born, you are still too young, let's talk about it when you grow up."

After Zhang Chi finished speaking, Xiao Hong's expression became depressed, and her body did not sway.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Chi felt a little bit reluctant, but he would not change his mind.

What's the point of Xiaohong going out with him?

Let the beasts and monsters outside eat him with meat and vegetables?

Zhang Chi shook his head and chuckled, pushing open the wooden door.

"Wait for me at home, I'll grill you tonight."

"Huh." Xiaohong replied weakly.

Pushing open the door, Zhang Chi saw a rain curtain.

The rain outside became heavier.

[Today's weather: light rain turning to moderate rain

Today's temperature: 8-12 degrees Celsius

Wind: None

Daytime duration: 7 hours

This round of disaster: major flood

Remaining time: 6 days]

Moderate rain? !

The daytime duration is also shortened by one hour?

Seeing these two messages, Zhang Chi was shocked.

It rained moderately on the second day, how heavy would the rain be in the last few days?

And the daytime duration is also shortened by one hour, is it because of too much rain?

Zhang Chi couldn't think of the reason, he only knew that the situation of the survivors would be more difficult.

Tightening his raincoat, Zhang Chi stepped into the rain.

He placed two black iron treasure boxes and wooden barrels on the stone to collect water. The reason for placing them on the stone was to prevent the mud on the ground from being splashed into the boxes by the rain.

After placing them, Zhang Chi raised his left arm and aimed at a big tree 50 meters away.

The crossbow mechanism of the Xuanling arm crossbow was originally empty, but a white energy crossbow arrow suddenly appeared at the moment Zhang Chi aimed.

Swish!

The crossbow arrow shot out with lightning speed, and the naked eye could not catch the trajectory of the crossbow arrow at all.

When he walked to the big tree, Zhang Chi found a hole as thick as a chopstick on it, and he could see the other side.

Following this direction, Zhang Chi found that the crossbow arrow penetrated three trees before it completely disappeared.

It is not known whether the energy was exhausted and dissipated by itself, or the arrow path was offset and flew to other places.

Zhang Chi was very surprised.

One reason is the power of the Xuanling arm crossbow. With such penetrating power, even an elephant can be shot through the head.

Second, the Xuanling Arm Crossbow was surprisingly easy to use. When Zhang Chi was aiming, he felt as if the Xuanling Arm Crossbow had come alive, adjusting his left arm and the crossbow body by hand.

That was why he could shoot so accurately.

The Xuanling Arm Crossbow was even more powerful than he had imagined.

Zhang Chi felt a little more confident and turned to the north.

The reason he chose the north was mainly because he felt that the vegetation in the north was more lush, and there were likely to be rivers and lakes.

He certainly didn't look for rivers to get water, but he felt that a flood couldn't just flow down from the sky, right?

If a large river or large lake was really found in the north, it would basically be possible to determine the starting point of the flood, and thus the direction of the flood.

After determining these, Zhang Chi could focus on deploying defenses to the north of the shelter.

Otherwise, if flood control works had to be built in all directions, the materials needed would simply be beyond his means.

He didn't expect to completely block the flood outside the shelter. It would be enough to block the impact of the flood, even if it was just a little bit slower.

Since he had explored the area within 500 meters to the north, Zhang Chi was very fast and reached the 500-meter position in less than ten minutes.

But he saw the mark he made yesterday, but did not see the fog dividing line.

And the fog in front was not as thick as that around the shelter.

Zhang Chi quickened his pace and finally saw the familiar dividing line again one thousand meters away from the shelter.

There was a thin fog inside, but the fog outside looked thicker than yesterday.

The dividing line was still there, but how come the area of ​​the protected area had expanded so much?

Was it caused by the upgrade of the shelter?

Then the newly appeared misty area around had to be explored.

After a little thought, Zhang Chi decided to go to the north first.

Wait until he came back from the north to explore the new area.

If he explored the new area first and went to the north later, he was afraid that he would be delayed by an accident and would not be able to get back before dark.

All the way to the north, but this time Zhang Chi took a little detour and changed the route.

The road had been explored yesterday, and there were not many resources, and the treasure chest was also taken away by him.

Changing the direction might bring new gains, and it could also avoid the leopard.

As Zhang Chi went deeper, the fog became thicker, and the visibility was only one or two hundred meters.

The types of plants on the road also became more varied, unlike the monotonous ones around the shelter.

Zhang Chi even found a few berries in the bushes. After identifying them as non-toxic, Zhang Chi ate one in one bite, and then quietly put the rest into the storage space.

The berries were sour that Zhang Chi almost drooled.

Along the way, the plants grew more and more luxuriantly. Zhang Chi saw the same kind of trees he cut near the shelter, which had grown to nearly ten meters here.

The weeds under his feet were getting taller and taller, exceeding one meter, and vines could be seen occasionally.

There was nothing else besides the sound of rain hitting the leaves.

Zhang Chi held a light steel axe and carefully pushed away the weeds.

Suddenly, he seemed to hear the sound of waves hitting the rocks.

He quickened his pace, and the sound became louder and louder.

Zhang Chi was in doubt. Wouldn't it be the sea in front?

Finally, he walked out of the forest and saw a shocking scene.

What came into view was an extremely wide river, with the river water rushing from west to east.

The degree of agitation of the river water was no less than the picture of the Yellow River in the geography book.

Zhang Chi was shocked. If such a turbulent river overflowed, could his shelter really withstand it?

He couldn't think of an answer for a while.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Chi walked up along the river.

There were a lot of stones on both sides of the river, both large and small, but they had one thing in common, that is, they were round and smooth, and it was not an exaggeration to say that they were stone balls.

At a glance, there were several stones that were almost as tall as him.

No!

These stones must be cleared.

Zhang Chi tried to push them into the river, but it didn't work at all.

The small ones were simple, but those over one meter had gravel stuck underneath, as if someone had deliberately placed them there.

But if the flood broke out, under the huge impact, these stones would be swept away by the river water nine out of ten times.

If they hit the shelter, even the stone shelter would collapse instantly.

You know, this place is only five miles away from the shelter. If the flood is big enough, the probability of these boulders hitting the shelter is not low.

Zhang Chi was thinking about countermeasures in his heart, but his eyes were attracted by the sudden appearance of metallic luster.

He walked a few steps quickly and found a black iron treasure chest under a huge rock.

Looking from a distance, he thought it was a stone.

After putting the treasure chest into the manual space, he was delighted, and even the pressure brought by the flood was reduced a little.

After walking for a while, the scenery by the river did not change at all, and the number of stones did not decrease.

Zhang Chi picked up some stones and filled the manual space, harvesting nearly a hundred units of stones.

But this is just a drop in the bucket for the problem of the "stone balls" by the river.

He estimated in his mind that in order to solve the risk of the shelter being hit by huge stones, at least one kilometer of river bank needs to be cleared.

It takes half an hour to go back and forth from the shelter to the river bank. With the space in the survival manual, it is impossible to clean it up in six days.

How can the size of the survival manual be increased?

Or, how can the time required for round trip be shortened?

It would be great if it could be teleported back directly.

Wait!

Teleport?

Maybe the trading channel can be used?
