Chapter 195 Everyone's Busy

Ye Feng glanced at the sky. The sun had shone all day yesterday, and it hadn't rained at night.

Surprisingly, the sun is shining today, which is quite unusual for the rainy season.

It has been three or four days since the last heavy rain.

The rainy season had been going on for about two weeks, and he had begun to vaguely discern some patterns.

Just like what I read in the book, it rains almost four days a week.

It's sunny one day, then rainy the next. Usually it's just light rain, but once it lasts for more than two or three days, the sun comes out.

If no rain is seen, then a heavy downpour is definitely coming in the next day or two.

The heavens, which govern this sky, seem to unleash a powerful attack every now and then.

The time when the sun is out is when it's gathering energy.

Therefore, Ye Feng estimated that, given the current pattern, a heavy rainstorm would likely arrive in the next couple of days.

He assigned the tasks of laying the floor and securing the exterior walls to Fu Changxiong and Fu Changxiong.

He himself focused on building the roof.

Palm trees are among the most abundant tropical trees in the Amazon, and can be described as almost ubiquitous.

He had already cut down many of them to keep in reserve.

However, simply being able to keep out the rain is far from enough; the roof he wants to build also needs to keep people out.

Ye Feng has always had a long-term vision, ever since Chou Chou announced that he was worth 5 million.

He was already conceiving of how to create an absolutely safe shelter.

He knew very well that the show was called Breakout.

As the name suggests, it's impossible to win without getting blood on your hands.

The production team wouldn't let them win the grand prize so easily.

Since they've already positioned themselves as public enemies, their purpose is quite simple.

They'll just fight each other to the death.

Although Ye Feng possessed top-tier weapons, as the saying goes, even two fists can't beat four hands.

His team only had 5 people; how could they possibly fight against the remaining 30 or 40?

At this point, a safe house that can both attack and defend becomes especially important.

Because there were three archers in the team, he decided to set up several shooting positions on the treehouse.

When someone attacks, they can shoot them from a distance from their elevated position.

After thinking it over, he led Qi Xiaojie into the forest, and after selecting the timber, the two began cutting it down…

According to the design of the yurt, he had to first tie the supports to the edge of the platform to serve as the support points for the roof frame.

The method remains the same: make a shallow "V" shaped cut on one end of the wood.

Then stand the wood upright and secure the opening to the frame on the side of the platform.

Then use the "x" crisscross binding method to secure it firmly.

Next, all you need to do is replicate this operation and surround the entire circular platform with a dozen or so rods.

The rest of the process is very simple.

Then, take a dozen or so long logs and tie them diagonally to the main trunk in the center of the treehouse, with the other end tied to these upright logs, thus enveloping the entire treehouse.

Once completed, the conical roof of the yurt will be fully finished.

The Mongolians on the grasslands often migrate with the changing seasons.

To facilitate relocation, they developed the yurt.

It is easy to disassemble and quick to assemble.

But for Ye Feng at this moment, this method is the most convenient and easiest way to set up shooting positions in the house.

After working for about an hour and a half, the two of them had exerted tremendous effort...

Finally, they dragged the eighteen tree trunks, each about the size of an arm, that they had cut down to the base of the treehouse.

They only caught their breath for a moment before starting to remove the excess branches again.

Once completed, the treated timber was hoisted up in batches using hemp ropes.

What followed was a long and grueling construction process...

On the other side, Liu Sisi was carrying a ceramic jar, intending to collect pine resin as she walked.

But almost half an hour has passed since she came out, and her jar is still empty.

Because resin generally grows on pine trees, and most pine trees are not well adapted to the Amazon climate, there are relatively few varieties.

If you're unlucky, it can be quite troublesome to find.

About ten minutes later, without realizing it, she had walked a kilometer outside the camp.

She looked at the empty jar, pouted, and was indeed not in a good mood.

Liu Sisi didn't want to go back empty-handed.

She had always felt that she hadn't been able to help Ye Feng in any way.

He can't carry anything, let alone lift anything. He's also incapable of fighting; he's never killed anyone so far. He's caused Ye Feng a lot of trouble.

After all, he was the person in the team with the most survival knowledge besides Ye Feng.

If you can't even handle such a small matter, then you'll lose face.

But after searching for so long, we haven't seen a single pine tree.

She stomped her foot in frustration...

"Ugh, this is so annoying! I saw a lot of them the other day, why aren't they here?"

Liu Sisi grabbed her hair, carefully recalling the knowledge she had learned.

"More than a third of the Amazon rainforest consists of both coniferous and broad-leaved trees."

Coniferous tree species include spruce, fir, larch, Bhutan pine, and iron pine.

Among them, the Iron Pine prefers warm temperatures and thrives in well-drained areas.

The most suitable areas are mountains and temperate climates.

Thinking of this, Liu Sisi slapped her forehead…

"I'm so stupid! Isn't this just a mountain range? Xiwen, why don't we just walk straight up the mountain?"

As she spoke, she turned and walked towards higher ground…

After walking for about half an hour, she finally saw a few straight and tall trees with spreading canopies.

Large trees with noticeably rough and cracked bark.

What else could it be but a pine tree?

Overjoyed, Liu Sisi ran over with light steps, panting slightly.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that these were four larch trees.

She looked up at the top of the tree trunk, through the direct sunlight.

Three or four long, golden-yellow clumps of pine resin were emitting a faint, transparent luster.

"Wow... the Golden Legend. I finally found it! Hehe~"

This color of resin is the best, indicating that it has just seeped out of the tree and has excellent stickiness after being burned.

Many glues on the market are made from this ingredient.

Liu Sisi took off her backpack, put down the bow and arrows around her neck, and quickly climbed up the tree to start collecting them.

A dozen minutes later, she had collected all the resin from the four trees.

There are about a dozen pieces.

It seems like a lot, but it's actually less than one-fifth of the jar.

They are mostly only the size of a fingernail, and not much bigger than that.

Helpless, she could only continue walking up the mountain.

After walking for about ten minutes, she suddenly stopped...

Liu Sisi's slender, arched eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she unconsciously stretched out her nose to sniff.

A moment later…
