Wearing a raincoat, Gu Xi headed straight for the orchard without hesitation.

The heavy rain hits the body and causes some pain, but if you stay in the rain for a long time, the pain turns into numbness.

Gu Xi found the small leaves and the honeysuckle leaves and started picking them directly.

Once each medicinal herb fills a slot, she immediately puts it on the shelf.

After picking most of the small leaves and honeysuckle, it was time to move on to the starflower and bitter grass. Gu Xi picked for about three hours and finally filled her backpack.

She placed Dragon Blood Root last, firstly because it is the most troublesome to obtain, and secondly because its production is accompanied by wood, which takes up space.

Now that she has gathered all the other medicinal herbs, she can freely cut down dragon's blood roots.

Clang, clang—

The axe struck the tree, splashing rainwater everywhere.

Rainwater streamed down Gu Xi's face. She wiped it with her hand, and after regaining some vision, she resumed cutting down trees.

Timber kept bursting forth, and dragon blood roots kept increasing.

Finally, her backpack was filled up again.

Gu Xi opened the light screen and checked the time; it was already 4 o'clock.

She gazed at the increasingly dark, inky clouds in the distance, quickened her pace, and returned to the raft.

Back on the raft, the first thing she did was check the plastic tank. Before a day had passed, the 500L tank was completely filled, just as she had expected.

Then, he hurried into the house, quickly packed his backpack, and made 10 more 500L plastic tanks to put in his backpack.

Then, put the lid on the plastic tank filled with rainwater and place it in the storage box.

A 500L plastic tank is approximately 80cm wide and 1.1m high.

When Gu Xi took them out of her backpack to put them away, she didn't notice and accidentally turned the plastic tank upside down.

The windshield wipers screeched against the plastic tank base, making a loud, drumming sound, and rainwater sprayed everywhere, soaking Gu Xi.

"Oh, right!"

Gu Xi's eyes lit up. She didn't complain at all about the rain splashing on her. Instead, she quickly put the plastic tank away and hurried back inside.

She grabbed a handkerchief to wipe herself roughly, then threw the handkerchief aside, opened her friends list, found Sun Yiming, and sent him a message.

Gu Xi: If it's urgent, contact me when it's convenient.

After the wonderful surprise this morning, Gu Xi knew that Sun Yiming must be very busy, so she didn't use voice chat directly.

Just as Gu Xi had predicted, Sun Yiming was extremely busy that day.

Early this morning, led by Gu Xi, the spontaneous acceleration of timber flow in District 2333 resulted in a massive flow of supplies throughout the entire region.

Of course, many people wanted to raise prices, but because more than half of the people automatically followed Gu Xi's customized prices, the growth in timber value was controlled.

Although it was a good start, the death toll did not decrease much. Fortunately, everyone's spirits were lifted, and no one gave up hope.

Sun Yiming rubbed his temples, trying to relieve the fatigue of the day.

Looking at the continuously declining population data and the dwindling supply of materials on the market, he was also getting tired.

"well!"

Sun Yiming sighed deeply, a sense of powerlessness welling up inside him.

[Ding-dong]

I don't know who sent the message again.

Sun Yiming mechanically opened the panel. Seeing that it was a message from Gu Xi, he perked up a little.

Gu Xi: If it's urgent, contact me when it's convenient.

The text was just a few words, and it didn't say anything urgent. Sun Yiming, dragging his weary heart, immediately dialed a voice call.

Sun Yiming: "Sister Xi, what's the matter that's so urgent?"

Gu Xi's speech quickened unconsciously: "I have a way, a way to get through this heavy rain."

These words were like a bomb, instantly jolting Sun Yiming awake and dispelling his previous fatigue. He eagerly pressed for an answer: "What method?"

Everyone now understands that it is almost impossible for ordinary people to gather enough wood and fiber to build a house, so this method must have little to do with the original building.

Gu Xi: "I can make a plastic bucket that is 500L in size. If people squeeze in, they can easily hide inside."
