Survival: Fighting floods from a thatched hut.

A primeval forest came into Zhang Chi's sight, with various unknown trees as high as six or seven meters. Under the trees were sparse shrubs and there were weeds in the forest, which was not very dense.

There was a drizzle falling from the sky. Even if you were only wearing a coat, it would take at least half an hour for you to get soaked.

But Zhang Chi still felt a little depressed. Although he had guessed that it was raining outside by the leaking thatched house, he still felt some pressure when he actually saw it.

He looked down at his clothes, a pure cotton sports suit and a pair of canvas shoes.

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

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

Getting caught in the rain is no big deal, but getting caught in the rain all day is a different story.

By then, you will be soaked all over, and your body temperature will be lost for a long time, so it will be difficult not to get sick.

In this remote place, there are no pharmacies, and even no hot water or beds. A slight cold or fever can easily make the condition worse.

But I have to go out. Who knows if the rain will get heavier?

Will he really not get sick in the thatched hut then?

Don't forget, the roof is still leaking!

Zhang Chi made up his mind after a little thought.

We must collect enough materials to upgrade the shelter today, otherwise if we sleep in the mud and water for a night, we will definitely get sick the next day.

If you have a weak constitution, you may not be able to wake up.

Today's weather: light rain

Today's temperature: 10-15 degrees Celsius

Wind: None

Daytime duration: 8 hours

Disaster of this round: Major floods

Time remaining: 7 day]

After taking a look at the [Weather] in the survival manual, Zhang Chi knew that he had to hurry up because there were only eight hours in the daytime.

Zhang Chi walked into the woods cautiously. As it was raining, the grass leaves were covered with water droplets. After a few steps, his trouser legs were soaked.

His expression became more serious. If there was water on the grass leaves, what about the leaves?

As he thought about it, he walked deeper into the cave, surrounded by a faint mist.

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

He did not forget the name of this world, the foggy world.

Maybe there is some danger in the fog.

The trees weren’t far away and we were there in less than a minute.

Zhang Chi raised the stone axe, chopped it hard on the tree trunk, and then quickly retreated.

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

If I stand still, I will be soaked like a drowned chicken.

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

He held out his hand, and since he could terminate it at any time, he tried to use his gift on the tree.

It feels like it is indeed feasible, and the volume of the tree (excluding soil and water) can be sublimated, but the feedback he got is that the tree will die completely after sublimation, and the tree cannot resist.

Immediately, he interrupted his talent.

He was just trying out the effect of his talent, and there were also normal words in his personal information.

But since the tree can't do it, I guess he can't do it either.

Even if he could terminate it at any time, he would not be so reckless as to try it on himself.

Without thinking about it anymore, he chopped the tree hard, one blow after another. The tree was very tall with lush branches and leaves, so he could avoid the rain while chopping under it.

After more than ten blows of the axe, a two-finger-deep gap appeared on the trunk.

Zhang Chi estimated in his mind that at this efficiency, it would take at least 20 minutes to cut down the tree.

Moreover, as physical strength is lost and the stone axe wears on the palm, the speed of chopping trees will become slower and slower.

Thinking in his mind, Zhang Chi simply stopped.

The previous voice mentioned that there are treasure chests around the shelter, and maybe a better axe can be found in the treasure chest. Even a kitchen knife is much better than a stone axe.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chi no longer hesitated. He walked deeper into the cave while carefully observing his surroundings.

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

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

But let alone a treasure chest, there wasn't even a single wild fruit.

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

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

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

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

After walking about a hundred meters, he stumbled and fell to the ground with a clanging sound under his feet.

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

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, his mouth curled up into a silent smile.

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

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

【Wooden Treasure Box

Quality: Normal

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

Must get basic tools?

Then the axe must be considered a basic tool!

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

Zhang Chi was so excited that he 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], that should be fine, right?

Do it as soon as you think of it, Zhang Chi activates his talent, and then feels energy emerging from his body out of thin air, flowing into the treasure chest through his hands.

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

The feel is wrong. It was clearly a wooden box before, but now it feels like metal.

【Black Iron Treasure Box

Quality: High quality

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

Is it really possible? !

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

A glimmer of light passed by, and Zhang Chi felt the weight of the box in his arms increase. He looked carefully and saw three items in the box.

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

【Fine Iron Axe

Quality: High quality

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

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

Zhang Chi was delighted. An iron axe was better than a stone axe, and this one was of high-quality.

He plans to try sublimation later, maybe he can find a bug?

But not now, he planned to try the quality of the high-quality iron axe first.

This would give him an idea of the gap between the grades.

After 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 a small box inside, which looks like a glass ball.

【Planting Box

Quality: High quality

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

Zhang Chi's mind moved, and it turned out to be props related to farming.

The disaster after seven days is a flood, which means that it will be impossible to grow crops outside.

Now with planting boxes, you can plant directly inside the shelter. Although it is impossible to harvest enough food from one planting box, 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. Needless to say, the iron axe is important, and the planting box is equally important.

When it comes to farming, the earlier you plant, the earlier you will harvest. It’s really lucky to get it on the first day.

Just because of these two items, he deserved to fall.

The last item covered the bottom of the chest like a clump of weeds.

When Zhang Chi took it out, he discovered that it was actually a set of straw clothes consisting of a top, a skirt, and a bamboo hat!

【蓑衣

Quality: High quality

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

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

It's raining outside now. Although it's not heavy, you might still get sick if you get wet for too long.

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

When surviving alone in the wild, there is no need to explain the consequences of getting sick.

But now with 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 will be a major 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 I have a straw raincoat, I don’t need to worry anymore.

As long as it is not a rainstorm, 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 a straw raincoat.

The straw raincoat is made of straw. I thought it would irritate the skin when I put it on, but I didn't expect that I didn't feel uncomfortable at all after wearing it.

After moving around for a few times, Zhang Chi was pleasantly surprised. The raincoat looked very thick, but its actual weight was about the same as a denim jacket and did not affect his movements.

Perhaps high-quality items have magical powers.

After moving around a few more times and getting completely used to it, he took the iron axe and treasure chest and went out again.

He did not place the planting box, but placed the ball that sealed it on the table. Now there was more and more water in the house, and he had no seeds. He decided to wait until the shelter was upgraded in the evening before making any plans.

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

Without thinking much, he opened the black iron treasure chest and placed it on a stone.

He had not found any water source in his previous search, and now that he had a box, he planned to collect some rain water.

Rainwater is generally not poisonous, and it's not uncommon for rainwater to fly into his mouth when he was exploring outside. It should be drinkable after boiling it in the evening.

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

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

It really feels like a knight in the rain, except that the knight carries a sword and he carries an axe.

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

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

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

I saw 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 caused by the stone axe was two fingers deep, while the scar caused by the iron axe was only one finger deep.

But don't forget that it took more than ten blows with the stone axe to achieve this result, while the iron axe only took one blow.

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

"Talent, activate."

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.
