Survival: Fighting floods from a thatched hut.

"Why don't you tell them everything?"

"?"

“Stop being silly, food!

In addition to these, a large amount of food is needed during floods.

Most people in the region don’t have much food left. Even if they survive the flood, some will starve to death within five days.”

Looking at the message, Zhang Chi sighed.

"The flood may not last long. It may recede in less than a week."

After the message was sent, Qian Zhongtian did not reply for a long time. It was not known whether he believed Zhang Chi's words or for other reasons.

Zhang Chi's face looked a little unhappy at this time, and he understood what Qian Zhongtian meant.

He knew that the flood would not last long.

The rainfall these days is getting heavier day by day, but there is almost no water on the ground.

When he was digging the Qingwu tree before, he found that the soil at the bottom of the roots of the Qingwu tree was actually dry.

And the water level of the rivers to the north has not risen.

Except for the water that leaked into the shelter, the rest of the water that fell on the ground seemed to have disappeared into thin air.

On the bright side, perhaps the rules of the foggy world are different from those of the blue planet, but this is just comforting myself.

To think of the worst, the water is stored in one place by a mysterious force, waiting to burst out on the day of a flood disaster.

Zhang Chi didn't believe that the foggy world would put them in an unsolvable dead end. It was impossible for the water to burst out at once.

The greater possibility is that the flood will last for a very long time.

At least it won't be over in a few days.

Moreover, even if Zhang Chi guessed wrong, the flood would end in a few days.

But at that time, how much food could there be for the survivors in the land ravaged by the flood?

It is not impossible that there are only a thousand people left in the entire area mentioned earlier.

Even now, Zhang Chi gets the news and puts it on the top card to share information and guide everyone to cooperate.

He still felt that at least half of the people would not be able to hold on.

But Zhang Chi had no way of sending these words to the regional channel.

As soon as it is said, the cooperative situation that has been guided with great difficulty will collapse in an instant.

By then, the survivors whose shelters have been upgraded to level 2 will be busy looking for food and will have no time to take care of anything else.

However, the production methods of lime kilns, iron blocks and other upgrade necessities are basically controlled by these people.

As for obtaining food through trading?

Otherwise, those level 2 shelters could be traded for some food reserves.

If everyone knows that food is precious, it will be difficult for them to buy it even if they want to, and the price of food will skyrocket.

The atmosphere of unity he had worked so hard to create in the region would instantly turn into confrontation.

By then, the number of deaths will be several times higher than it is now.

Then he really needs to collect the basic materials himself.

Zhang Chi was also helpless, he also wanted more people to survive and work for him.

But he is not a saint and cannot sacrifice himself for others.

It's okay to let him say a few words like he is now, but as for more, forget it.

It is not necessarily impossible for him to go outside and dig the soil himself.

I hope Qian Zhongtian can figure it out.

Otherwise, Zhang Chi can only treat him as a pure trading object.

After waiting for a while, seeing that Qian Zhongtian still didn't move, Zhang Chi simply put away the manual and walked outside.

"Da Huang, please stay in the house and wait for me. I will be back soon."

"Okay, let's go together."

He brought Dahuang to the lime kiln and built two more next to it.

These two drawings were obtained from the wooden treasure chest just now.

With two more lime kilns, Zhang Chi can harvest 150 units of lime every six hours.

Combined with what was fired previously, the shelter can be upgraded to level 2 tomorrow.

After working so hard for so long, we are finally going to upgrade the shelter with all high-quality materials on the fifth day.

He was very much looking forward to it.

After filling the space with wood and stones, Zhang Chi looked at the stone wall again.

Except for the stones reserved for burning lime, the rest of the stones are all relaxed and made into high-quality grades.

Adding the 1000 units he got when he opened the box just now, he now has more than 1300 units of high-quality stones.

Apart from the 200 units needed to upgrade the shelter, Zhang Chi plans to use the rest on the stone walls.

He first built another circle of stone wall outside the original stone wall, with a distance of one meter between the two.

It was originally planned to be built in the inner circle, but there are too many stones.

Looking at the more than 500 units of stone left in his hand, Zhang Chi decided to make the stone wall higher.

2.5 meters is the minimum standard for building a stone wall. If you want, you can build it up to five meters high.

Zhang Chi first extended the stone wall upward by more than half a meter, so that the height of the stone wall was level with the ceiling of the first floor of the shelter.

Then all the remaining stones were used up, allowing the stone wall to extend down half a meter.

At this point, he only had 200 units of high-quality stone left.

However, Zhang Chi did not think it was a waste, as the sense of security provided by the double stone wall was real.

Once all the ginger soup is sold tomorrow, the inside of the stone wall can be filled with soil.

A simple but indestructible flood dam was completed.

If the water seepage problem could be solved, he might be able to grow crops inside the wall when a flood comes.

Back in the shelter, Zhang Chi used a towel to dry Dahuang's body.

"Why do you have to go out with me?"

Dahuang didn't say anything, but rubbed Zhang Chi's calf.

Looking at the towel in his hand, which was originally snow-white but now slightly yellow, he calmly dodged Dahuang's head.

Under Dahuang's puzzled gaze, Zhang Chi took it to the bathroom.

"Ah, ah."

"Honestly, you're not afraid of the rain, so why should you be afraid of a shower head?"

After taking a shower, Zhang Chi looked at his single bed, and then looked at Da Huang, who was looking depressed beside him.

"You can sleep on the floor today, and I will cover you with tiger and bear skins.

I'll make you a nest tomorrow."

......

Day 7, am.

It's still dark and today's rain has turned into a downpour.

Zhang Chi pushed open the door and looked outside in the light of the fire in the shelter. The rain curtain had almost become one continuous entity.

He had the illusion that he lived in a water curtain cave.

But even so, there was still no water on the ground outside.

Today's weather: Heavy rain

Today's temperature: 3-7 degrees Celsius

Wind: None

Daytime duration: 4 hours

Disaster of this round: Major floods

Time remaining: 3 day]

As expected, the day length became four hours, and the temperature was gradually dropping.

Temperatures are expected to drop to zero degrees by the time the flood breaks out.

It seems that I need to prepare some warm items, but Zhang Chi has several furs in his hands, all of which are of high quality.

It would be difficult for him to buy better warming items.

Putting on a transformable raincoat, Zhang Chi came to the lime kiln and collected the lime.

After synthesizing these 150 units of lime, Zhangchi’s shelter can be upgraded!

Although he was anxious, Zhang Chi knew it was useless to be anxious.

He first filled the lime kiln with material and then put the lime into the compounding room.

The waiting time was the most unbearable. Zhang Chi opened the manual and sent a private message to Kong Dongfang.

“I’ll make a double portion for breakfast today.

By the way, after your leg healed, have you explored the area around the shelter?

Is there a river nearby? "

“Yesterday I walked around the five-mile radius of the shelter and found no river.

I plan to go further afield today.”

"Okay, then be careful. There may be wild animals within five miles."

"Brother Chi, don't worry. With such heavy rain, even the wild animals will stay in their dens and won't come out."

Kong Dongfang is his personal chef, and Zhang Chi doesn't want anything to happen to him.

After thinking about it, he traded his discarded straw raincoat and a stone wall blueprint.

This blueprint is only of ordinary level, and it was obtained by Kong Dongfang when he helped him sell ginger soup.

However, Zhang Chi didn't have any higher-level blueprints at the moment, so Kong Dongfang could only make do with what he had.

"If there is a river near you, collect some stones and build a stone wall.

If you don’t have any, I’ll give you a piece of ginger and you can collect some and build the stone wall.

Although it is only ordinary level, it should be enough to build a few more floors."

"Woo woo, Brother Chi, you are so good to me, as good as my mother is to me. I will definitely follow you well in the future."

Veins bulged on Zhang Chi’s forehead. Why is this idiot like Da Huang, calling “Mom, Mom” all the time?

Thinking of this, he glanced at Dahuang fiercely.

Dahuang, who was taking a nap on the tiger skin, suddenly had his hair stand on end and he looked around in confusion.

When he saw Zhang Chi's unfriendly look, he lowered his head guiltily.

Could it be that its owner discovered that it was secretly using the floor to sharpen its claws?

Just when Zhang Chi was struggling over whether to beat Da Huang to vent his anger, the countdown in the synthesis room just ended.

"Shelter, upgrade."
