Survival: Fighting floods from a thatched hut.

Zhang Chi subconsciously took a half step back, but after thinking it over, he decided to use the survival manual to find out what was going on.

After all, this place was too close to his shelter, less than a hundred meters away, and he had no way to avoid it.

As for his previous plan to run to the mountains and become a caveman, he has given it up.

There was no other reason. The fog was too dense. Once he left the shelter, visibility was terribly low. He couldn't even see if there were any mountains around him.

Zhang Chi gripped the axe handle tightly with his right hand, and a trace of fear rose in his heart.

The fallen tree was so severely rotten that the black things were all clumped together. As the sky was getting darker, it looked like some black creatures were growing out of the tree's corpse.

Zhang Chi took out the survival manual with trepidation.

Then, he, who was originally a little scared, felt ecstatic.

It's true that you can't find anything without wearing iron shoes, and it doesn't take any effort to get it.

The black plant on the rotten wood turned out to be wood ear!

That’s right, it’s a rainy day now, the weather is humid and the temperature is not too low, which is just the right weather for the growth of wood ear mushrooms.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chi suddenly looked up and looked at another tree next to him.

After a careful look, Zhang Chi indeed found a not-so-big piece of wood ear on the tree.

At this moment, Zhang Chi wanted to slap himself.

He grew up in the countryside. When he was a child, many elders would go up the mountain to pick mushrooms early in the morning the day after it rained. Among the mountain products they brought back were many fungus and the like.

He had lived in the city for several years and had forgotten even this.

In fact, this cannot be blamed on him. The main reason is that he cut down so many trees in the morning and didn’t see any mushrooms or fungus. He subconsciously thought that this forest did not grow these things. After all, it was a different world.

He condemned himself in his heart, but his hands were not slow. He picked the fungus one by one and put it into the space in the manual.

In less than three minutes, he had picked all the wood ears on the rotten wood, because the wood ears were very small, only half a pound.

Zhang Chi showed a satisfied smile, and today's dinner was finally settled.

As for the wood ears on other trees, they would have to wait until tomorrow. Although he speculated that the area around the shelter was a protection zone for novices, no one knew if there would be any changes after dark.

He remembered clearly the precautions that the voice had given.

After returning to the shelter, Zhang Chi first went to the black iron treasure chest placed outside to collect rainwater.

It didn't matter what he saw, Zhang Chi was stunned.

I saw that more than half of the black iron treasure chest was filled with water.

You know, this black iron treasure chest is 20cm deep. Was the rainfall so heavy during the day?

But he didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly picked up the treasure chest and walked into the thatched hut.

As soon as he entered the house, Zhang Chi found that the bonfire in the house had been extinguished long ago, there was no dry place on the ground, and the whole house was full of mud. He didn't know where to step.

Although the wood in the house had been deliberately stacked in a waterproof place, there was no place in the house that did not leak at this time.

Fortunately, there is a base underneath. Except for the wood used to build the base which was soaked by water on the ground and wet by rain on top, there is still a lot of dry wood in the middle.

You know, although the wood was just cut down in the morning, it is still relatively dry, probably because of the type of tree it is.

At least it can light a fire.

Now, most of the 1000 units of wood cannot be burned.

Fortunately, I cut enough wood and took some precautions in advance.

If it were anyone else...

Thinking of this, Zhang Chi mourned for his compatriots in his heart.

Hopefully they put some of the wood into storage.

Zhang Chi placed the black iron treasure chest filled with half a box of water on the table, feeling a little excited.

That's right, he's going to upgrade the shelter.

I have worked hard all day just for this moment.

"Shelter, upgrade."

The originally dim thatched hut suddenly emerged with white light, which stung Zhang Chi so much that he subconsciously closed his eyes.

At the same time, the area of thatched houses began to expand rapidly and the materials used began to change.

After a few seconds, Zhang Chi opened his eyes.

The originally dilapidated thatched house has undergone a tremendous change.

Not only did the room expand from about 30 square meters to more than square meters, but the surrounding walls and ceiling were also made of solid wood without any gaps.

The thick wooden boards look very safe.

Zhang Chi lowered his head and found that the originally muddy ground was now covered with wooden floors.

After looking around, a question mark slowly appeared above Zhang Chi's head.

Where is my stone?

When we walked out of the shelter, we saw that the foundation of the shelter was actually made of stone, and the inside was more than ten centimeters higher than the land outside.

Shelter (Cabin)

Level: 1

Expansion Building: No

Upgrade conditions: 200 units of wood, 200 units of stone, 50 units of lime, 20 units of iron nails, and 3 expansion buildings.

Comment: A solid wooden building, strong enough to protect against normal wind, rain and wild beasts. 】

Looking at the information in the survival manual, Zhang Chi's originally raised mouth corners gradually returned to calm.

Can it only withstand ordinary wind and rain?

With this kind of evaluation, even a big storm could destroy it, let alone a flood.

Still need to work hard.

As it was getting darker, Zhang Chi closed the door, picked out the driest piece of remaining wood, and threw it into the campfire.

Even after upgrading to a wooden house, the previous bonfire did not disappear.

As the wood fell in, a ball of fire suddenly appeared on the extinguished campfire.

Bonfire

Grade: None

Effect: Add fuel and it will burn by itself

Evaluation: The foggy world is a small help to the survivors. 】

Seeing that the bonfire really caught fire, Zhang Chi breathed a sigh of relief.

It would be impossible for an ordinary person like him who has no experience in making fire by drilling wood to make a fire with this kind of wood on a rainy day.

Zhang Chi took out the remaining stones, built one next to the campfire, and then placed the black iron treasure chest filled with water on top.

He now had no other means of purifying water and could only simply boil it.

But he wasn't too worried.

After all, this is not the Blue Planet, and there are no chemical factories emitting pollution. Rainwater is much cleaner than river water.

After doing all this, Zhang Chi finally had time to check the information given in the upgraded survival manual.

In the [Shelter Information], Zhang Chi discovered that there were several more buildable expansion buildings.

[Workbench, you can make items according to the drawings]

[Fence, you can build a fence around the shelter to provide simple protection]

【Stove, can be used to prepare food (without kitchenware)】

[Toilet, with a simple toilet inside]

There are also wooden walls, wooden doors, windows and the like. Wooden walls and wooden doors are used to divide the space inside the shelter.

In addition to these, there are also balconies, fireplaces and so on.

Apart from the workbench and toilet, there are some facilities that look useful but are not very useful.

Zhang Chi looked at the material requirements. The workbench required 20 units of wood and stone each, and the toilet required 30 units of wood and 10 units of stone.

There was plenty of wood, but he only had 20 units of stone left, some of which was used to pad boxes.

It seems that I can only buy some on the trading channel.

But before that, let's open a treasure chest to liven things up.

After taking out the treasure chest, Zhang Chi rubbed his hands expectantly.

"Talent, activate."
