Survival: Fighting floods from a thatched hut

Zhang Chi now has more than 100 units of high-quality stone in his hand, and he will have another 240 units after the synthesis room is finished.

Adding the ones from Kong Dongfang, the total synthesis can be less than 700 units of high-quality stone.

Excluding the need to reserve two or three hundred units for burning lime, he can at least synthesize enough high-quality stone to build a stone wall today.

Looking at the time, there are less than two hours left before the end of the day.

Zhang Chi thought about it and decided to work in the shelter for the rest of the day.

Zhang Chi made some marks on the location of the stone wall he had imagined before, and then walked into the forest to start chopping trees.

After the power increased greatly, coupled with the blessing of the light steel axe, even if he didn't use all his strength, these ordinary woods would fall to the ground in just two or three strokes.

However, he did not choose to decompose it into standard wood, but chose the thicker trunk below it and cut it into four-meter-long wood.

Then he followed the same method and made more than a dozen four-meter-long woods, all of which came from straight and thick trees.

Put the remaining scraps into the space and decompose them, and then carry the wood to the marked location one by one.

Zhang Chi walked into the shelter and used the workbench to make a nearly four-meter-high stepladder.

However, this wooden stepladder cannot be folded.

He took the ladder outside and sharpened one end of the four-meter-long wood.

A huge wooden nail was ready.

Standing it on the ground, Zhang Chi walked up the ladder and took out the high-quality hammer he bought before.

Boom!

A huge dull impact sounded through the forest, followed by one after another.

Zhang Chi was seen holding a hammer more than one meter long, hammering the wood into the marked ground again and again.

Ten minutes later, Zhang Chi hammered nearly two hundred times.

At this time, more than one meter of the four-meter-long wood had been stuck into the ground.

Zhang Chi pushed the wood hard, but the wood did not move at all.

He nodded with satisfaction.

He did this not for fun, but the stone wall was a total of two and a half meters high, and there was not much buried underground.

Zhang Chi had to worry whether the stone wall would be pushed up to the wall of the shelter little by little by the flood.

If it was a wild beast, even an elephant, he would not worry.

But now he had to face a flood.

The flood would wash away the soil, and when the stone wall had no ground to rely on, it was almost inevitable that it would be pushed away by the flood.

Which flood dam does not have a particularly deep foundation?

It just so happened that his strength increased greatly now, and hammering a few pieces of wood was not only effortless, but also easy.

He simply drove a few huge wooden nails behind the stone wall to completely fix the stone wall in place.

Without much rest, Zhang Chi repeated the previous steps and nailed 15 pieces of wood around the shelter, 10 of which were on the west and north sides.

In fact, Zhang Chi sometimes wondered if he was too cautious about the flood.

It was impossible for the foggy world to kill them all in the first disaster, right?

After all, he had made a lot of preparations now, which was far beyond most people.

But as long as he thought of the Yellow River flooding on Blue Star a few years ago, he would not dare to underestimate the flood.

Even modern cities with advanced technology were ravaged by floods.

How could he have the courage to relax?

It is better to prepare too much and not use it than to prepare too little and suffer huge losses or even lose his life.

Anyway, he has enough energy now.

Seeing that the sky was getting darker, Zhang Chi worked harder and harder. In the last few minutes before dark, he finally nailed all the wood.

Next, he just had to wait for the stone to be synthesized and then he could build the stone wall.

He checked the progress of the lime kiln and estimated that it would take about an hour.

It seems that he has to go out at night today.

Fortunately, now that his strength has entered the high-quality level, the lime kiln is next to the shelter, so it is not very dangerous.

This morning, Zhang Chi asked Kong Dongfang to sell ginger soup on his behalf, and traded 2,000 units of wood and soil each.

There are also 200 units of iron blocks and several flashy high-quality items.

Among them is a high-quality expansion building blueprint, a balcony.

However, he does not plan to build this blueprint at present, and will do so after the shelter has a second floor in the future.

Without a protective net, building a balcony on the first floor is equivalent to opening the door to the enemy.

With these materials, Zhang Chi does not plan to sell ginger soup today.

He already has enough basic materials. If all the wood is synthesized, there are more than 500 units of high-quality grade, which is more than double the upgrade of the shelter.

Although 2,000 units of them are consumed by the lime kiln, it is still enough and there is a surplus.

There are also 3,000 units of soil, which needs to be collected.

In addition to filling the flood control dam, Zhang Chi plans to synthesize some excellent-grade soil for Xiaohong to absorb.

The place where Xiaohong condensed the Sun and Moon Spirit Fruit before is now barren and the land has no fertility left.

When Xiaohong's strength increases in the future, ordinary soil may not be able to satisfy it, so preparations must be made early.

Taking out two pieces of bear meat, Zhang Chi mixed some mushrooms and fungus and threw them into the pot.

These were collected from the west and south of the forest, and the quantity was large. Zhang Chi planned to dry some of them and use them as reserve food.

After all, after the flood, these fungi will definitely not survive.

The mushrooms tasted very good, much more delicious than what he had eaten on Blue Star before. It would be a pity if he could not eat them in the future.

After eating, Zhang Chi went out with a torch.

The lime kiln had just finished firing at this time, and the temperature inside was extremely high, so it was impossible to collect it.

But this is nothing for the survivors who have a manual space.

After taking out 50 units of lime, Zhang Chi filled it with stones and wood and let the lime kiln continue to work.

With the previous temperature, maybe some wood can be saved.

Just before entering the door, Zhang Chi felt that there seemed to be a trace of malice in the darkness, but it disappeared quickly.

After his strength increased, his perception naturally did not fall behind, and he was no less than that of the beast.

He didn't think he was wrong. Although this malice was fleeting, the chill in it was not even felt by ordinary people, let alone him.

Turning his head to look at the darkness in the distance, his eyes were like lightning, as if he wanted to see through the darkness.

After a long while, the malice seemed to disappear out of thin air and did not appear again.

Back to the shelter, Zhang Chi's face was a little heavy.

The malice just felt was definitely not from the beast.

The beast's mind is relatively simple. Even if it wants to kill you, it is mostly for survival.

They can't produce such strong malice.

It seems that there are still unknown dangers in the foggy world.

Zhang Chi was not too surprised. After all, when he first crossed over, the foggy world told him that the night was extremely dangerous.

Although humans cannot see at night and are at a disadvantage when facing wild beasts at night, such a solemn reminder is definitely not because of the wild beasts.

Moreover, yesterday was only the second day, and more than 500 people died.

It rained heavily last night, and the thatched house could not block it, but even if the thatched house collapsed, humans would not die in the rain for a while.

At that time, he guessed that there might be other dangerous creatures at night.

"It seems that we have to hurry up to build the stone wall, otherwise it will be uneasy to go out and collect lime at night."

Zhang Chi took out 240 units of stone newly produced in the synthesis room, and then asked Kong Dongfang to trade 2,400 units of stone.

When these are synthesized, the stone wall can be built.

After doing this, Zhang Chi gave 50 units of lime to Kong Dongfang.

This is what Zhang Chi promised him before.

In fact, giving other materials is also OK, but Zhang Chi doesn't care whether he is the first to upgrade to a level 2 shelter.

Anyway, there is no reward.

Let Kong Dongfang upgrade first, so he can see the quality of the Level 2 shelter.

And get to know the materials and conditions required to upgrade to Level 3 shelter in advance.

"Thank you, Brother Chi, I will definitely follow you in the future!"

"Hurry up and upgrade, many materials are still outside your shelter.

If you can't put the materials outside into the shelter after the upgrade, don't worry about it, it's very dangerous outside at night."

"Don't worry, Brother Chi, I'm the most timid."

A few minutes later, Kong Dongfang replied.
