A clear virtual screen appeared in front of Xiao Yi, showing a full range of scenes around the base in real time. Every corner and every inch of land was clearly visible, as if he had a pair of eyes that could see through everything.

Through this advanced monitoring system, he can see the subtle movements of leaves in the breeze in the distant woods, and can also capture the crawling tracks of insects in the grass.

When any object approaches the base, the surveillance screen will automatically focus and zoom in, allowing Xiao Yi to clearly see the appearance and every move of the person coming.

Even in the dark of night, this set of monitoring equipment can use special infrared and thermal imaging technology to clearly display the surrounding situation in front of him.

Xiao Yi excitedly manipulated the monitoring interface, constantly switching perspectives, feeling a surge of security and control. He knew that with the advanced monitoring equipment provided by this system, he would be able to detect potential threats in advance, be fully prepared to respond, and better protect his base. With the system's powerful and magical help, Xiao Yi's originally heavy mood instantly became lighter, and confidence burned in his heart like a raging fire.

He was full of energy and looked for a suitable location in the base to build a simple house. He first collected the thick wood nearby. Although carrying the wood made him out of breath, his eyes always flashed with determination.

Xiao Yi used tools to trim the wood one by one, making it flat and smooth. Then, he laboriously erected the wood to serve as the pillars of the house. He carefully measured and considered the placement of each pillar to ensure the stability of the house.

Then, he used the collected wooden boards to connect them between the pillars to form the wall. The nails were hammered into the wooden boards with his hands, making a crisp sound, as if it was the sound of hope he played for the future.

Building the roof took up a lot of his energy. He carefully laid the wooden boards one by one and covered them with thatch and tarpaulin to prevent rainwater from seeping in.

Inside the house, he simply used wooden boards to separate an area to store precious supplies. He neatly placed the food, water, and various tools he collected there, treating each item as a guarantee of survival.

When the simple house was finally built, Xiao Yi stood at the door with a relieved smile on his face. This house, which was not gorgeous but full of hope, gave him a place that truly belonged to him in this doomsday.

He knew that this was just the beginning. With the help of the system and his own efforts, his life would get better and better in the future, and he would carve out a piece of his own in this desolate world. Xiao Yi knew that water was crucial to survival, so he decided to dig a well.

He chose a clearing on the base, picked up a shovel, and began digging vigorously. Initially, the soil was relatively soft, and the excavation went relatively smoothly. However, as the depth increased, the difficulty grew. Each shovelful required all his strength, and sweat dripped from his forehead into the soil beneath his feet.

When he dug to a certain depth, Xiao Yi encountered a hard rock layer, and he had to be more careful to avoid damaging his tools. He used a hammer and chisel to break the rock bit by bit, and his hands were blistered, but he did not stop at all.

After several days of unremitting efforts, finally, a stream of clear water slowly gushed out from the bottom of the well. Xiao Yi was very excited and immediately reinforced and cleaned the well to ensure the cleanliness and safety of the water source.

At the same time, in order to further enhance the defense capabilities of the base, Xiao Yi began to set up various traps and obstacles around the base.

He dug deep holes in the ground, inserted sharp wooden stakes into the bottom of the holes, and then cleverly camouflaged them with branches and weeds to make it difficult for the enemy to detect.

He also brought in heavy rocks and piled them at the entrance to the base to form a natural barrier, and used ropes and branches to make a simple tripwire trap that would sound an alarm when triggered.

At some key passages, Xiao Yi set up obstacles and used sharpened wooden sticks to form dense fences to prevent the enemy from passing through easily.

He carefully designed and arranged every trap and obstacle, taking into account various possible situations. Although the process was full of hardships and fatigue, Xiao Yi's heart was full of hope. He believed that these efforts would bring stronger protection to the base and allow him to survive more safely in this doomsday.

Xiao Yi toiled tirelessly through the base like a spinning top. From the first rays of morning sun to the glimmer of stars at night, he was constantly moving around. He carried the heavy timber by hand, his shoulders swollen from the weight, yet he gritted his teeth and continued towards his goal, step by step. He carefully considered the placement of each piece of timber to ensure it would maximize the structural stability of the house.

As he dug the well, he bent over, his shovel rising and falling constantly, sending dirt flying. Even with aching back and waist, he refused to stop for a moment, with only one thought in mind: to complete the well as soon as possible to provide the base with an adequate water source.

Setting traps required extreme care and patience. He crouched on the ground, meticulously arranging each twig and weed used as camouflage, striving for perfection. As he set up the obstacles, he gripped the heavy stones tightly, his arm muscles tense, and beads of sweat fell, though he didn't bother to wipe them off.

In the area where crops are grown, he personally turns the soil, sows seeds, and waters the crops, caring for each seedling as if they were the most precious treasures in the world.
