Survival: Fighting floods from a thatched hut.

"Brother Chi, after the shelter is upgraded, the area of the first floor will be expanded to 50 square meters. During the day, I will pile the wood and stones that cannot be placed at the base of the wall, and after the upgrade, I will just store the materials in the shelter."

"Wait, you said one floor?"

"Yes, Brother Chi. Is your Level 2 shelter different from mine?"

"I haven't upgraded my shelter to level 2 yet."

"Brother Chi, I am so touched that you would rather not upgrade yourself and let me upgrade first.

From now on, I will be yours in life and your ghost in death."

Zhang Chi's mouth twitched slightly. What is he talking about?

He didn't expect Kong Dongfang to misunderstand him so much, but he wouldn't explain it. It wasn't a bad thing anyway.

Besides, what Kong Dongfang said was not wrong.

Didn’t he let Kong Dongfang upgrade first before he upgraded himself?

No matter what he thinks in his heart, just ask him if he does it!

"Tell me about the changes in the shelter."

“The area of the shelter has not increased much, only expanding to 50 square meters, and four particularly thick stone pillars have appeared at the four corners of the first floor.

The walls are made of stone on the outside and wooden planks on the inside. The second floor is roughly the same size as the first floor. After reaching level 2, the shelter's expansion building can be moved once.

【Shelter Information】."

【Shelter (two-story building)

Level: 2

Expanded buildings: stove, toilet, workbench.

Upgrade conditions: Not open.

Evaluation: A relatively solid shelter, with two floors in total, built of wood and stone. But the strange thing is that the weight of the second floor can be supported by the walls, so why build four such thick stone pillars? There is even one meter buried underground. 】

After seeing this message, Zhang Chi fell into deep thought.

After upgrading to level 2, the conditions for upgrading the shelter are not open, so don’t even think about upgrading the shelter to level 3 in a short time.

In this case, level 2 must have a chance for people to survive the flood.

Looking at the comments below, Zhang Chi is a little confused about what it means.

Four thick stone pillars, even one meter buried underground?

Together, they are four meters high.

Is it necessary to have so many supporting columns for a two-story building?

His mind was full of doubts, but when he thought of the big flood four days later and the extremely smooth stones by the river, an idea suddenly came to Zhang Chi.

Is this structure used to prevent floods?

Just sacrifice the entire first floor and survive on the second floor relying on four stone pillars?

The more Zhang Chi thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was pretty accurate. Otherwise, there would be no reasonable explanation for the meaning of building these stone pillars.

If this is true, the survivors who failed to upgrade their shelters to level 2 before the flood would surely die.

However, Zhang Chi does not think that he can sit back and relax after reaching level 2.

It would be fine if the stones in the flood didn't hit the stone pillars, but if they did, they might break.

And even if you are lucky enough to survive, it will be very difficult to repair the dilapidated shelter.

You know, the materials required for the shelter upgrade and the final upgraded product do not match at all.

The manual must have subsidized a lot, or it could be said that it was the help of the foggy world.

This is also an important reason why Zhang Chi feels that the foggy world will definitely give survivors a chance to survive.

But this help is limited.

If the shelter is damaged, there is no subsidy for repairing it, and you have to pay the price.

What's more, we don't know when the assessment will start. If the shelter is just broken, the assessment will start.

Then it is almost impossible to get good results!

Zhang Chi would never think that among the nearly 10 billion humans on the entire Blue Planet, there are not even 10,000 people who can protect the shelter from being damaged by floods.

“Move all the stored materials and expansion buildings to the second floor in the next few days.

From now on, all harvests will be placed on the second floor.”

"Um, Brother Chi, it's not that I don't want to, it's mainly because it's very difficult for my legs to go up to the second floor once."

"Put the stuff in the survival manual. It won't take many trips. I suspect the first floor will be flooded soon after the flooding starts."

"Okay, I'll move right away."

After setting the alarm, Zhang Chi went to bed.

There are a lot of things to do tonight. If we want to upgrade the shelter as soon as possible, we have to keep the synthesis room and lime kiln running around the clock.

As an operator, he doesn't have to keep an eye on it all the time, but he has to collect and fill the materials when the time comes.

Four hours later, Zhang Chi got up and put away the newly synthesized high-quality stones.

Afterwards, he took back all his materials from Kong Dongfang.

About a thousand stones, two thousand each of soil and wood.

If he hadn't put more than two thousand of them into the synthesis room again, he would have had nowhere to stay in his shelter.

At this time, he had more than 630 high-quality stones in his hands, which was just enough to build a stone wall.

A holographic projection of the shelter with a radius of 50 meters appeared in front of Zhang Chi, and he chose to build it according to the previously determined location.

The stone wall is close to the wood nailed in the afternoon, which can effectively support the stone wall and withstand the impact from the outside.

The stone wall is white overall and is 20 cm thick, which is not very thick.

But from the texture point of view, the hardness is very high, and it is not something that can be compared with the ordinary-grade stones that can be found everywhere.

Due south, opposite the entrance of the shelter, there is a stone door, which is on the blueprint.

After walking around the stone wall, Zhang Chi squatted down and dug.

As expected, the part buried in the soil was not much, only about ten centimeters.

Even if the soil was not washed away by the flood, the stone wall could be pushed.

It seems that the work of nailing the wood in the afternoon was not in vain.

After a while, Zhang Chi went back.

It was raining so heavily outside that the torch in my hand couldn't last more than a few minutes.

At night, Zhang Chi got up again to replace the materials in the synthesis room and collect lime from the lime kiln to supplement the materials.

This time, he didn't sleep again. It was only two or three in the morning, but he slept for eight hours in total, which was enough.

He put the meat into the pot and exercised while staring at the pot.

He also discovered that even one piece of high-quality bear meat was enough to eat, but in order to improve his strength faster, he chose to exercise more and eat more.

After his strength increased greatly, ordinary training methods were of no use to him.

He simply bought a piece of stone armor and wore it.

This piece of stone armor is only of ordinary grade, and it is also very heavy, weighing 60 kilograms.

To him, this level of defense is no different from having no defense at all, and it will also affect his speed.

But it's just right for wearing it for weight training.

The ginger soup whetted his appetite, and Zhang Chi himself was of high quality, so he digested the bear meat quickly.

After high-intensity exercise, a piece of bear meat can be digested in four or five hours.

He could feel his strength slowly improving, not fast, but very stable.

He also felt that as he ate more bear meat, an inexplicable energy gradually and steadily grew stronger in his body.

He tried to manipulate, but couldn't.

Fortunately, this energy has no harm. It can not only relieve muscle fatigue, but also further enhance his physical fitness.

But the quantity is limited now, so it can only be used to relieve muscle fatigue, allowing him to recover faster and digest faster.

A few hours later, Zhang Chi came out of the shower and just opened the survival manual, when he saw the private message Qian Zhongtian sent him.

"You young man, you have no moral principles."
