Survival: Fighting floods from a thatched hut.

Zhang Chi now has more than 100 units of high-quality stones in his hands, and he will have another 240 units once the synthesis room is completed.

Adding the ones from Kong Dongfang, the total amount of synthetic stone is less than 700 units of high-quality stone.

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

I glanced at the time and saw that there were less than two hours left until the day was over.

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

Zhang Chi made some marks at the location of the stone wall he had previously envisioned, then walked into the forest and started cutting down trees.

With the greatly increased strength, coupled with the blessing of the light steel axe, even without using all his strength, these ordinary woods would fall to the ground in just two or three hits.

However, he did not choose to break it down into standard wood, but instead selected the thicker trunk at the bottom and cut it into four-meter-long pieces of wood.

He then followed the same method and made more than a dozen four-meter-long pieces of wood, all of which came from straight and thick trees.

Collect the remaining scraps into the space and decompose them, then carry the wood one by one to the previously marked locations.

Zhang Chi walked into the shelter and used the workbench to make a herringbone ladder nearly four meters high.

However, this wooden stepladder cannot be folded.

Taking the ladder outside, he sharpened one end of the four-meter-long piece of wood.

A huge wooden nail was made.

Put it on the ground, walk up the wooden ladder, and take out the high-quality hammer you bought before.

Boom!

A huge, dull crash echoed through the woods, followed by one after another.

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

Ten minutes later, Zhang Chi had punched him nearly two hundred times.

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

I pushed the wood with all my strength, but it didn't move at all.

He nodded with satisfaction.

He did this not out of idleness, but the stone wall was only two and a half meters high, and there was not much part buried underground.

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

If it was a wild beast, he wouldn't worry even if it was an elephant.

But now he has to face a flood.

Floods will wash away the soil, and then the stone wall will have no ground to support it, and it is almost inevitable that it will be pushed away by the flood.

Which flood control dam does not have a particularly deep foundation?

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

He simply hammered a few huge wooden nails into the back of the stone wall to completely fix it in place.

Without much rest, Zhang Chi repeated the previous steps and nailed a total of 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 floods.

There's no way that the foggy world could kill them all with the first disaster, right?

After all, he has made a lot of preparations now, far beyond most people.

But whenever he thought of the Yellow River flooding on Blue Star a few years ago, he no longer dared to underestimate the flood.

Even modern cities with advanced technology are 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 your life.

Anyway, he has plenty of energy now.

As the sky gradually darkened, Zhang Chi worked harder and harder. In the last few minutes before dark, he finally nailed all the wood.

Next, he just needs to wait for the stones to be synthesized and then he can build the stone wall.

He checked the progress of the lime kiln and estimated that it would take another hour or so.

It looks like he will have to go out at night today.

Fortunately, our strength has now reached a high-quality level, and the lime kiln is right 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 2000 units of wood and soil each.

There are also 200 units of iron and a few flashy premium-level items.

There is also a high-quality extended architectural drawing, balcony.

However, he does not plan to build this blueprint at the moment, and will wait until the shelter has a second floor.

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

With these ingredients, Zhang Chi doesn't plan to sell ginger soup today.

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

Although two thousand units were consumed by the lime kiln, there was still enough and some left over.

There are also 3000 units of soil, which needs to be collected further.

In addition to filling the flood 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.

Take out two pieces of bear meat, mix them with some mushrooms and fungus and throw them into the pot.

These were collected from the west and south sides of the forest. The quantity is huge. Zhang Chi plans to dry some of them and use them as food reserves.

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

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

After dinner, 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 space for manuals.

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

Taking advantage of the previous temperature, maybe we can save some wood.

Just before entering the door, Zhang Chi felt a hint of malice coming from the darkness, but it quickly disappeared.

After his strength improved, his perception naturally did not fall behind, and was now on par with that of wild beasts.

He didn't think he was wrong. Although the malice was fleeting, the chill in it was something that even an ordinary person would feel, let alone him.

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

After a long while, that trace of malice seemed to have disappeared out of thin air and never reappeared.

Returning to the shelter, Zhang Chi's face looked a little heavy.

The malice I just sensed was definitely not from a beast.

Wild animals have simpler minds. Even if they want to kill you, it is mostly for survival.

They are incapable of generating 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 traveled through, the foggy world told him that the night was extremely dangerous.

Although humans cannot see at night and are indeed at a disadvantage when facing wild beasts at night, this 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 really hard last night and the thatched hut couldn't block the rain. But even if the hut collapsed, humans wouldn't die in the rain for a while.

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

"It seems that we have to hurry up and build the stone wall, otherwise it will be unsafe 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 for 2400 units of stone.

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

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

This was what Zhang Chi had promised him before.

In fact, other materials can also be given, but Zhang Chi doesn’t care whether he is the first to upgrade to level 2 shelter.

There's no reward anyway.

Let Kong Dongfang upgrade first, so he can also take a look at the quality of the level 2 shelter.

And learn in advance the materials and conditions required to upgrade to level 3 shelter.

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

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

If you fail to store the materials outside in the shelter after upgrading, you should just ignore it for now. It is very dangerous outside at night."

"Don't worry, Brother Chi. I am the most timid and afraid of things."

A few minutes later, Kong Dongfang replied.
