Survival: Fighting floods from a thatched hut.

After putting on pants and shoes, Zhang Chi put on the straw raincoat outside.

I checked the manual space and brought the axe, pickaxe and shovel.

The main reason he brought so many tools was that he was worried that if he came across something good, he would not have the tools to mine it.

Although the pickaxe and shovel are not of high quality, they are better than using bare hands.

Zhang Chi looked at the contract scroll on the table. He thought about it and decided to take the scroll with him.

The purpose of bringing it with him was not to catch a pet. He was mainly thinking that if he encountered a creature that he couldn't deal with, even if he couldn't directly contract it, he could at least control it for a little while, right?

Maybe with this little bit of time, Zhang Chi can escape.

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

"Hoo, hoo!"

Hearing the noise, Zhang Chi walked towards Xiaohong and saw that it was pointing at the scroll in his hand with its green leaves. He placed the scroll in front of Xiaohua.

"You want this? A contract with me?"

"Huh." Xiaohong nodded happily.

Zhang Chi showed difficulty on his face. It was not that he did not want to contract Xiaohong, nor was he reluctant to part with a scroll.

But his strength is too weak now. Although he has the Xuanling Arm Crossbow, no one can say whether he can hit the target.

At this time, if you have a contract scroll to control it a little, you may be able to kill the enemy.

At least I can buy myself a little more time.

Although he didn't want to see Xiaohong sad, he decided to refuse without much hesitation.

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

"I still have a use for this thing. When I become more powerful, I will give it to you."

Xiaohong became anxious and waved the leaves desperately, pointing at the scroll and then pointing outside.

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

"Huh, huh." Xiaohong nodded vigorously.

Zhang Chi was silent for a moment, then thought of the coin-sized burnt spots on the wood, and reached out his hand to poke Xiaohong's little face.

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

After Zhang Chi finished speaking, Xiaohong's expression became depressed and her body stopped shaking.

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?

So that the wild beasts and monsters outside can eat a combination of meat and vegetables?

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

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

"Huh." Xiaohong replied weakly.

When he opened the door, what Zhang Chi saw was a curtain of rain.

The rain outside was getting heavier.

Today's weather: light rain turning into moderate rain

Today's temperature: 8-12 degrees Celsius

Wind: None

Daytime duration: 7 hours

Disaster of this round: Major floods

Time remaining: 6 day]

Moderate rain?!

The daylight hours are also shortened by an hour?

Seeing these two messages, Zhang Chi was shocked.

It rained heavily on the second day. How heavy would the rain be in the last few days?

Moreover, the length of the day was shortened by one hour. Was it because of the heavy rain?

Zhang Chi couldn’t figure out the reason, he only knew that the situation of the survivors would become more difficult.

He tightened his raincoat and walked into the rain.

He placed two black iron treasure chests and a wooden barrel on the stone to collect water. The reason for placing them on the stone was to prevent the mud on the ground from splashing into the chests by the rain.

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

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

call out!

The crossbow arrow shot out at lightning speed, and the naked eye could not capture its trajectory at all.

Walking to the big tree, Zhang Chi found a hole on it as thick as a chopstick, through which he could see the other side.

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

I don't know if the arrow's energy was exhausted and dissipated on its own, or if its path deviated and flew to another place.

Zhang Chi was very surprised.

One reason is the power of the Xuanling Arm Crossbow. With such penetrating power, even an elephant can have its head shot through.

The second was that the Xuanling Arm Crossbow was unexpectedly easy to use. When Zhang Chi was aiming, he felt that the Xuanling Arm Crossbow came alive and adjusted his left arm and the crossbow body step by step.

That's why he can 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 head north.

The reason for choosing the north was mainly because he felt that the vegetation in the north was more lush and there was a high probability of rivers and lakes.

Of course, he was not looking for a river to get water, but he felt that a flood could not possibly fall from the sky, right?

If a large river or a large lake is really discovered in the north, the starting point of the flood can basically be determined, so that the direction of the flood can be determined.

After confirming these, Zhang Chi can focus on deploying defenses on the north side of the shelter.

Otherwise, if he had to build flood control works in all directions, the materials required would be beyond his ability to afford.

He did not expect to be able to completely keep the flood out of the shelter. It would be enough as long as he could block the impact of the flood, even if it could be slowed down a little.

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

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

Moreover, the fog ahead was not as thick as that around the shelter.

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

There is a thin fog inside, but the fog outside looks a bit thicker than yesterday.

The dividing line is still there, but why has the area of the protected area expanded so much?

Could it be caused by the upgrade of the shelter?

The newly appeared misty area around must also be explored.

After some thought, Zhang Chi decided to go north first.

Wait until you return from the north to explore new areas.

If he explored the new area first and then went to the north, he was afraid that he would be delayed due to accidents and would not be able to return before dark.

Heading all the way north, but this time Zhang Chi took a slight detour and changed the route.

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

Changing direction might bring new gains and help you avoid the leopard.

As we went deeper into the cave, the fog became thicker and visibility was only about one or two hundred meters.

The types of plants on the road also became more diverse, not as monotonous as those around the shelter.

Zhang Chi even found a few berries in the bushes. After determining that they were non-toxic, Zhang Chi ate one in one bite, and then quietly put the rest into the storage space.

The berries are so sour, so sour that I almost drooled.

As they walked along, the plants grew more and more luxuriantly. Zhang Chi saw that the same kind of trees that he had cut down near the shelter had grown to nearly ten meters here.

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

There was no sound except the sound of rain hitting the leaves.

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

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

He quickened his pace and his voice became louder and louder.

Zhang Chi was confused and wondered, could there be a sea ahead?

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

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

The turbulence of the river is no less than that in the pictures of the Yellow River in geography books.

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 moment.

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

There are a large number of stones on both sides of the river, of all sizes, but they have one thing in common, that is, they are round in shape, and it is not an exaggeration to call them stone balls.

At a glance, there were several people who 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.

The small ones are simple enough, but those that are over one meter tall have rubble stuck underneath, as if someone had placed them there on purpose.

But if a flood breaks out, under the huge impact, there is a 90% chance that these stones will be swept away by the river water.

If it hits a shelter, even a stone shelter will 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 a countermeasure in his mind, but his eyes were attracted by the sudden appearance of metallic luster.

He took a few quick steps and found a black iron treasure chest under a huge rock.

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

After putting the treasure chest into the manual space, he felt so happy that 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, filled the manual space, and harvested nearly a hundred units of stones.

But this is just a drop in the bucket compared to the number of stones on the riverside.

He estimated that in order to eliminate the risk of the shelter being hit by huge rocks, at least one kilometer of river bank would need to be cleared.

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

How can I increase the space size of the survival manual?

Or, how can we shorten the time required to go back and forth?

It would be nice if we could just teleport it back.

and many more!

Teleport?

Perhaps a trading channel could be used?
