Reborn: I Stock Up and Bully the Trash to Dominate the Apocalypse

Fortunately, the wooden board only made a creaking sound and was not lifted up.

After about two hours, the roar outside gradually subsided and the vibration of the ground gradually disappeared.

The family climbed out of the cellar and walked out of the wooden house one after another. The scene before them made them gasp.

Everything in front of me was pitch black, but everyone was wearing headlamps, so I could vaguely see the scenery in the distance.

The ground outside the wooden house was full of traces of sea water washing. Dead trees were uprooted, and wood and gravel were scattered all over the ground. The electric wires were also torn off and hung on the branches not far away, swaying in the wind.

In the distance, the wooden houses of several families had been completely destroyed by the tsunami, leaving only a few lonely wooden piles.

Fortunately, only one window of their wooden house was blown away, and the rest was intact.

"This is just the first wave." Zhou Jianghai's voice was a little heavy. "If it happens again, our wooden house may not be able to hold on."

Qi Mingyu frowned and looked into the distance: "We not only need to reinforce the cellar, but also build a stone house."

Under the impact of such a tsunami, their wooden house was relatively solid because it was reinforced with a layer of iron sheets, so the damage was not great.

But looking at the houses in the distance, there should be at least a dozen wooden houses overturned.

The planks were scattered everywhere.

At this time, their wails were heard.

"But building a stone house is difficult." Zhou Jianghai looked at the dark sea in the distance. "We had this plan at the beginning, but firstly, there are not many stones on the island, so it is difficult to mine them. Secondly, we don't have a stone saw, so it would be too laborious to grind the stones later."

They also took these two points into consideration, so they reinforced the wooden house instead of building a stone house.

The stability of a stone house is certainly incomparable to that of a wooden house.

Qi Mingyu pondered for a moment, then said, "After these few days of hard work, I'll go to the mothership and ask if they have an electric stone saw. If they do, we can borrow one with our supplies. Finding stones isn't difficult. There are stones of all sizes on the beach, along the coast, and at the foot of the mountain. Let's all go looking for some, and try to find some that are flat and smooth."

"Okay!" Zhou Jianghai nodded. "It would be much easier if we had a stone saw. Go borrow one tomorrow and I'll take everyone to look for stones."

"Then it's settled."

The advantages of a cellar are obvious.

After the tsunami, the military compiled statistics and finally announced that a family of four died and more than a dozen people were injured in the tsunami.

Those who hid underground were fine. These people did not have the conditions to dig a cellar at home, and then the wooden house was overturned, and they were swept out with them.

Other survivors on the island were also digging the cellar.

Some people's homes have relatively flat terrain, which makes digging relatively easy and can reach a depth of five meters or even deeper.

But more families, like the Zhou family, encountered underground rocks and could only dig about three or four meters.

The military also organized survivors to dig deeper cellars.

The only planting area on the island is relatively flat, and there are no large rocks underground, so the yield will be higher.

The military asked geological experts to carefully study the terrain, select an excavation site, and then organize everyone to start excavating, striving to dig out at least one shelter before the next tsunami arrives.

There are several thousand people on the island, and even if the shelter is dug, it can only accommodate a few hundred people.

Captain Chen also said that this shelter is provided for single women, children, and the elderly, and the rest are for individual families who cannot dig cellars in their own homes.

The implication is that other people have arms and legs and should figure out their own ways.

The day after the tsunami hit, Qi Mingyu went to the mother ship to get supplies and borrow an electric stone saw.

In fact, the mothership was originally set out with the mission of inheriting the spark of human civilization, so it really preserved various tools.
