Survival: Fighting floods from a thatched hut

A forest came into Zhang Chi's sight, with various unknown trees up to six or seven meters high, sparse shrubs under the trees, and weeds in the forest, not very dense.

There was a drizzle in the sky, and even if you only wore a coat, it would take at least half an hour to get soaked.

But Zhang Chi still felt a little heavy in his heart. Although he had guessed that it was raining outside through the leaking thatched house, he still felt some pressure when he really saw it.

He looked down at his clothes, a set of pure cotton sports suits, and a pair of canvas shoes on his feet.

It can be said that it has no effect on rain protection, and even has side effects.

If you want to upgrade the shelter, you must collect materials in the rain.

Getting wet in the rain is a small matter, but getting wet in the rain all day is different.

When you are soaked, it is difficult not to get sick if your body temperature is lost for a long time.

In this wilderness, there is no pharmacy, and there is not even hot water and beds. A slight cold or fever can easily aggravate the condition.

But you can't not go out. Who knows if the rain will get heavier?

Will he really not get sick in the thatched house by then?

Don't forget, the roof is still leaking!

Zhang Chi made up his mind after a little thought.

Today, he must collect enough materials to upgrade the shelter, otherwise he will definitely get sick the next day if he sleeps in the mud and water for a night.

If he is a little weak, he may not wake up.

[Today's weather: light rain

Today's temperature: 10-15 degrees Celsius

Wind: None

Daytime: 8 hours

This round of disaster: major flood

Remaining time: 7 days]

Looking at the [Weather] in the survival manual, there are only eight hours in the day, and Zhang Chi knows that he has to hurry up.

Zhang Chi walked into the forest carefully. Because it was raining, the grass leaves were full of water droplets. After walking a few steps, his trouser legs were soaked.

His face became more and more serious. If there is water on the grass leaves, what about the leaves?

As he thought, he walked towards the depths, surrounded by a faint mist.

Looking into the distance, the fog became thicker and the visibility was only a few hundred meters, which made him more alert.

He had not forgotten the name of this world, the misty world.

Maybe there was something dangerous in the mist.

The tree was not far away, and it would take less than a minute to get there.

Zhang Chi raised his stone axe, chopped the tree trunk hard, and quickly retreated.

Then, water drops fell from the tree. Even though he moved quickly, some water drops still fell on his body.

If he stood still, he would be soaked.

After repeating it several times, no more water drops fell from the tree.

He stretched out his hand, and because he could stop it at any time, he tried to use his talent on the tree.

It felt like it was indeed feasible. The volume of this tree (excluding soil and water) could be sublimated, but the feedback he got was that after sublimation, the tree would die directly and completely, and the tree could not resist.

Immediately, he interrupted his talent.

He was just trying the effect of his talent, and there was also a normal word in his personal information.

But since the tree couldn't do it, he probably couldn't do it either.

Even if he could stop it at any time, he wouldn't be reckless enough to try it on himself.

Without thinking about it, he chopped the tree hard. Because the tree was tall and the branches and leaves were lush, he could avoid the rain by chopping under the tree.

After chopping more than ten times, a two-finger-deep gap appeared on the trunk.

Zhang Chi estimated that it would take at least 20 minutes to chop down the tree at this efficiency.

And as the physical strength was lost and the stone axe wore on the palm, the speed of chopping trees would become slower and slower.

Thinking in his heart, Zhang Chi simply stopped.

The previous voice mentioned that there were treasure chests around the shelter. Maybe a better axe could be found in the treasure chest. Even a kitchen knife was much better than a stone axe.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chi no longer hesitated. While walking deeper, he carefully observed the surroundings.

He planned to find the treasure chest near the shelter first, and by the way, see if there was any food such as wild fruits.

An hour later, Zhang Chi searched all the areas within 500 meters south of the shelter.

But let alone the treasure chest, there was not even a single wild fruit.

As for the deeper part, the concentration of fog increased suddenly, so he didn't plan to go there for the time being.

Seeing that he had wasted an hour, Zhang Chi felt a little anxious.

After all, there were only eight hours in the day!

Time was running out, so Zhang Chi quickened his pace and explored the east side of the shelter.

Just after walking a hundred meters, he stumbled and fell to the ground, and there was a clang under his feet.

Fortunately, the ground was full of weeds and there was no mud, otherwise he would probably be covered with mud and water.

Zhang Chi checked himself and found that he was not injured, but most of his body was wet.

Standing up, Zhang Chi looked behind him, grinning, revealing a silent smile.

I saw a wooden treasure chest lying in the bushes where he had just tripped.

Most of the treasure chest was covered by weeds, and if he hadn't kicked it, it would not be visible at all.

Walking closer, Zhang Chi held the wooden box in his arms and took out the survival manual to identify it.

[Wooden treasure chest

Quality: Ordinary

Evaluation: The foggy world takes care of the survivors, and they will definitely get basic tools. ]

Definitely get basic tools?

The axe must be considered a basic tool!

Even a hatchet will do, at least it is better than a stone axe.

Excited, Zhang Chi reached out to open the treasure chest.

But the moment he touched the treasure chest, his hand stopped and fell into thought.

Treasure chest... is it considered an item?

Can it be sublimated?

Since his information contains the words [Quality: Ordinary], it should be possible, right?

Do it as soon as you think of it. Zhang Chi urged his talent, and then felt that energy in his body emerged out of thin air and entered the treasure chest through his hands.

A faint white light flashed in the treasure chest in his arms. Before the light faded, he felt a sinking in his arms.

The feel was wrong. It was obviously a wooden box before, but now it felt like metal.

[Black Iron Treasure Chest

Quality: Excellent

Evaluation: The care of the survivors in the foggy world must obtain basic tools. ]

It's really possible? !

Zhang Chi no longer hesitated and couldn't wait to open the lid of the treasure chest.

A faint light flashed, and Zhang Chi felt the weight of the box in his arms increase. Looking closely, there were three items in the box.

The largest one was an axe. Zhang Chi took it out and identified it.

[Fine Iron Axe

Quality: Excellent

Evaluation: High-quality iron axe, without any special effects, with excellent sharpness and durability. 】

"I actually found an axe! An iron axe must be much more useful than a stone axe. This hour is worth it."

Zhang Chi was delighted. An iron axe is better than a stone axe, not to mention that this one is of high-quality.

He plans to upgrade it later. Maybe he can find a bug?

But not now. He plans to try the quality of the high-quality iron axe first.

This will give him an idea of ​​the difference between grades.

Putting away the iron axe, Zhang Chi looked at another item in the box.

This is a transparent sphere. If you look closely, you can see that there is a small box inside it, which looks like a glass ball.

[Planting Box

Quality: High Quality

Evaluation: Contains high-quality soil, rich in nutrients. It can be placed directly inside the shelter to reduce the growth time of plants. 】

Zhang Chi's heart moved. It turned out to be a prop related to farming.

The disaster after seven days is a flood, which means that planting is impossible in the outside world.

Now that there is a planting box, you can plant directly inside the shelter. Although a planting box cannot harvest enough food, it is enough to grow some vegetables that can supplement trace elements.

Zhang Chi grinned. He didn't expect that a black iron treasure chest could give him such a big surprise.

The iron axe and the planting box are both what he urgently needs. The iron axe is needless to say, and the planting box is equally important.

The earlier you plant, the earlier you harvest. It's really a dog shit luck to get it on the first day.

Just these two items, he fell down.

The last item covered the bottom of the treasure chest, like a bunch of weeds.

Zhang Chi took it out and found that it was actually a straw dress consisting of a top, a skirt, and a bamboo hat!

[Sleeve raincoat

Quality: High quality

Evaluation: High-quality raincoat, with excellent waterproof and a small amount of protection, made of hollow grass, light and comfortable. 】

The expression on Zhang Chi's face changed from confusion at the beginning to surprise.

It is raining outside now. Although it is not heavy, it is still possible to get sick if you get wet for a long time.

Moreover, Zhang Chi's clothes were mostly wet because he had just fallen.

It goes without saying that getting sick is a big deal when surviving alone in the wild.

But now that he has this raincoat, he can take off his wet coat and put on the raincoat.

According to Zhang Chi's speculation, the disaster seven days later is a flood, so the rainfall in the next few days will definitely increase.

Today's rain may not be a big deal, but if it turns into moderate rain or heavy rain, it will be a problem to go out.

Now that he has a raincoat, he doesn't need to worry.

As long as it is not a heavy rain, it basically does not affect his going out.

Zhang Chi returned to the shelter with his harvest, took off his wet coat, and put on the raincoat.

The raincoat is made of grass. I thought it would irritate the skin to some extent, but I didn't expect that I didn't feel uncomfortable after wearing it.

After a few activities, Zhang Chi was surprised. The raincoat looked very heavy, but the actual weight was about the same as a denim jacket, and it did not affect the activity.

Perhaps the high-quality items have magical powers.

After a few more activities, he took the iron axe and treasure chest and went out again after getting used to it.

He did not put the planting box, but put the ball that sealed it on the table. Now the water in the house is getting more and more, and he has no seeds. It is better to wait until the shelter is upgraded at night before making plans.

After going out, Zhang Chi didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that the rain seemed to be a little heavier.

He didn't think much about it, opened the black iron treasure chest and put it on a stone.

He didn't find a water source in the previous search. Now that he has a box, he plans to collect some rainwater.

Rainwater is generally not poisonous, and when he was exploring outside, it was not that there was no rain flying into his mouth. After boiling it at night, it should be drinkable.

Zhang Chi wore a straw raincoat and held an iron axe, and walked straight into the depths of the forest.

From a distance, a man wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat walked in the mist in the forest.

It really felt like a knight in the rain, but the knight carried a sword and he carried an axe.

Arriving at the tree where he had chopped dozens of times in the morning, Zhang Chi raised his iron axe and swung it with all his strength.

With a bang, the water drops accumulated on the tree fell down again. Zhang Chi did not dodge this time and let the water drops fall on his body, but not a single drop of water could penetrate his raincoat and touch his body.

Zhang Chi was very satisfied and looked down at the tree trunk.

There were two axe marks on the tree, one was made by the stone axe when I just came out, and the other was made by the iron axe just now.

The scar made by the stone axe was two fingers deep, while the scar made by the iron axe was only one finger deep.

But don’t forget that the stone axe took more than ten strikes to achieve such a result, while the iron axe only took one strike.

But Zhang Chi was not satisfied, and activated his talent again.

“Talent, start.”

As Zhang Chi finished speaking, a strange energy wrapped around the iron axe, and at the same time, his hand felt lighter.

Zhang Chi’s face changed.
