Survival For All: I, Aura Creator

Chapter 31 Bringing Warmth to a Few (Please Bookmark!)

[Congratulations, you have obtained 10 cans of beef, 20 iron ingots, 10 rolls of tissue, a level I table and chair blueprint, a level II watchtower manufacturing blueprint, and an additional Barbarian Belt (yellow and blue).]

Damn!

What a great harvest~ What a great harvest~~

The most joyous thing for Ning Ze is undoubtedly the blueprint for the level II watchtower.

After a night of battle.

The wall is undoubtedly the MVP.

But problems have followed.

Before the wall, Ning Ze always had to deal with the monsters through the gaps in the wooden house.

Relying on Aura's passive ability to endure the forced bleeding debuff.

With the wall, the bow and arrow are somewhat restricted.

The fence is too low, but it can't keep the attacking enemies outside.

Shooting at close range is almost certain.

But if it's tens or hundreds of meters away...

Please, spare me, I only have a system, not Huang Zhong.

High returns come with high risks.

Now with the watchtower blueprint, Ning Ze can safely attack enemies outside the fence from the watchtower in the future.

Ah~ Comfortable~ Killing two birds with one stone~

Iron ingots are also scarce strategic resources.

The damaged iron pickaxe can now be repaired.

Of course, the highlight is the additional equipment, which turns out to be a never-before-seen yellow and blue quality.

[Treasure in the Box (I)] still brings him a stable and pleasant surprise.

Taking out the Barbarian Belt, the corresponding panel pops up.

[Barbarian Belt (yellow and blue)]

[Attributes]: Strength +8, Constitution +8

[Effect]: After wearing, gain the skill "Barbaric Strike": Charge for one second to increase the damage of the next attack by 100%.

[Explanation]: Only barbarians would wear this kind of thing, you shouldn't wear it either.

The style is a bit ugly, but so what~

It must be mine!

Who wouldn't want to become a minotaur warrior and give those little monsters a powerful punch? (Amusing)

Ning Ze immediately put on the Barbarian Belt, which is a functional accessory with many loops.

Some commonly used items, such as daggers, can also be attached to the belt.

It doesn't take up the system's storage space.

It's also much more convenient to use.

"Fenrir, let's have barbecue at home today."

He rubbed the little wolf cub's black head.

The only hero of all this is none other than you.

"Howl~ Howl~"

"Why are you acting like a dog?"

Fenrir happily chased its tail.

Ning Ze really wonders if Fenrir is really a Night Wind Wolf?

"Woof~" Fenrir let out a pitiful whimper.

Ning Ze comforted it like a child, rubbing its wolf head and cutting off 100g of monster meat, making Fenrir happy again, chasing its tail.

"Perhaps, our human ancestors also obtained honey in this way."

Just as Ning Ze was thinking this, a sudden plume of smoke caught his attention.

Taking out the compass, it's northwest.

About 500 meters away, estimated to be around 700 meters.

"Why would there be such a large plume of smoke in this place all of a sudden? Could it be someone cooking over a fire?"

Ning Ze furrowed his brows and checked the time on his pocket watch. It was already past 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and it would be dark in less than an hour.

The road here is rugged, and it would probably take twenty to thirty minutes to get there. The journey back would be even longer.

"Fenrir, let's go, it's time to go home."

"Howl~ Howl~" Fenrir cheerfully called out and followed Ning Ze.

In this world of disaster, countless survivors have written the rules of survival with their lives.

One of them is that curiosity really can kill the cat.

When they returned to the small wooden house, it was almost half past five.

Today, Ning Ze had finished studying the book on well surveying during the day and was ready to dig a well in the yard.

According to the advice of the peculiar big tree, the nearest water source is hundreds of kilometers away.

If he doesn't dig up some groundwater, he can only stay within a one-kilometer radius for activities, and it would probably take him decades to have the capital to venture out.

Hundreds of miles of crimson roads, laughing emptily, is not something he regrets.

Dangerous things are left for the future self to handle.

Now that he has obtained the Barbarian Belt, with the additional eight points of constitution, Ning Ze's physical fitness has improved significantly, and it's urgent to dig a well to improve his living conditions.

Even if the future is difficult, he must focus on the present.

Because...

Water~~~

The source of life~~~

With water, it means obtaining wealth.

Ning Ze couldn't bear to see his good brothers die of thirst.

This, this... How can I let my good brothers die of thirst?

I, Nicholas Ning Ze, will dig and mine today! I will dig a well to save the world!

Let me bear the dirty smell of copper!!! (Amusing)

Said and done.

Soon!

Ning Ze came to the yard and found a suitable location based on the knowledge from the well surveying book.

Ambush!

Ning Ze took out the iron shovel and started digging.

Dust flew, and Fenrir, sitting on the side, blinked its eyes without blinking.

More and more like a dog, its actions gradually resembled those of a Siberian Husky, and its blue and white eyes were filled with wisdom.

Until...

"Howl howl howl!"

"Woof woof!"

"Howl woof howl woof howl woof!!!"

A clump of mud accidentally hit Fenrir's face.

In an instant, Fenrir, once filled with wisdom, turned fierce.

Relying solely on its wolf claws, it vigorously dug at the soil, although its speed couldn't match Ning Ze's, it was still helpful.

After digging about ten meters deep, a stream of cold water suddenly gushed out from underground, overflowing at a visible speed and slowly submerging Ning Ze's ankles.

But...?

"Can't drink this water?"

[Groundwater]: Sweet and delicious, not suitable for drinking, drinking will reduce sanity.

In this world, whether it's food or water, consuming them will reduce sanity. Ning Ze is used to it.

Fortunately, he doesn't currently lack drinking water. This water can be used for watering fields, washing vegetables, pots, and even bathing. It's fine as daily non-drinking water, and even if he accidentally drinks some, it's not a big problem.

Ning Ze's sanity recovery speed is four times that of others, so it's completely fine.

He just doesn't understand how others can survive in this environment. Eating a little meat and drinking a little water every day would drive them crazy. He really can't imagine such a life.

Seeing the groundwater about to reach his knees, Ning Ze quickly climbed out of the pit.

The well is dug, although the water is currently murky, it should clear up after settling for a few hours.

"Let's build the watchtower first."

Ning Ze didn't forget about this matter.

The sky has gradually darkened, and it's almost dusk approaching night.

The construction of the watchtower has no limit, so Ning Ze casually used some wood to see the effect.

The watchtower only requires 100 wood and two iron ingots for construction, and he chose a location and clicked to build, also taking thirty minutes to complete.

Next.

Ning Ze prepared to make several traps. One iron ingot can make two traps, and he gritted his teeth and invested eight iron ingots, making a total of sixteen traps.

Then he placed four on each side of the fence.

It can defend against enemies and randomly catch lucky spectators.

The safety factor has been slightly increased, which is considered perfect.

After opening the "Exchange," the items he put up for sale, such as flint and coal, caused quite a stir after a few hours.

In one of the trading buildings, many people were already urging for the trade.

QA-8686: "Why hasn't the boss come back yet? It's been almost three hours. If he doesn't sell soon, I'll freeze to death."

GL-2384: "Has anyone bought white phosphorus flint? Is it any good? Can it be used to start a fire with damp wood?"

NX-7952: "Laughable, someone actually believes in this thing. It's obvious that it's just a box item, at most a few were opened. It's purely a gimmick. Let's see if any foolish big shots take the bait."

XW-9663: "Exactly, if you really want to sell, who would wait for three hours to confirm the trade? We're all freezing to death. I think he's just waiting for someone to be frozen silly and take advantage of it."

The three-hour delay in trading has caused a lot of dissatisfaction among many people. The temperature in many people's areas has dropped to zero, and some have even frozen to death.

These things have nothing to do with Ning Ze. Even if he wanted to save everyone, he only has so few goods, and he can only bring warmth to a few people.

Can't hold on anymore... Family, 6000 words a day is enough, can't write anymore, it's all gone.
