Once inside the cave, the interior space was quite spacious. However, the terrain gradually sloped upward, creating a natural defensive advantage. If an enemy wanted to force their way in, they would have to navigate the narrow passage. However, Xiao Yi, who was inside the cave, could easily defend himself from a high position.
In addition, the terrain around the cave is complex, with dense jungle and few human traces. The nearest village is dozens of miles away, greatly reducing the risk of being discovered by others.
Xiao Yi stood in the cave, observing his surroundings carefully. He had already made up his mind. He decided to build his own shelter here. Not only could he avoid the threat of zombies, but he could also avoid those humans who might have bad intentions in the apocalypse.
He imagined his future plans, his eyes gleaming with determination. He knew that in this apocalyptic world, only by relying on such a safe and secluded place could he survive and wait for the world to return to its former peace and tranquility.
After Xiao Yi made up his mind, he immediately threw himself into the hard work.
He first looked for thick and strong wood in the nearby forests and dragged them back to the cave one by one. Then, with the only tools he had, such as an axe and a saw, he processed the wood into the right size and shape.
He placed the wood tightly at the entrance of the cave and fixed it firmly with nails and ropes to form a solid wooden wall. To increase the strength of the defense, Xiao Yi brought large pieces of stone and piled them at the bottom of the wooden wall to make it more stable.
He cleverly used the terrain in front of the cave to create obstacles. He dug deep trenches in the narrow passage, inserting sharp wooden stakes. He also placed spiked nets on both sides of the passage, held up by ropes. Once triggered, they would inflict damage to invading enemies.
In order to prevent the zombies from climbing over the obstacles, Xiao Yi also built a simple lookout above the cave entrance. From here, he can observe the movements in the distance and throw stones or Molotov cocktails to repel the enemy when necessary.
During the labor, Xiao Yi's hands were covered with blisters and his clothes were soaked with sweat, but he did not stop. Every swing of the axe and every move of stone was filled with his desire for survival and firm determination.
After several days of hard work, the fortifications at the cave entrance were finally completed. Xiao Yi stood outside the cave, looking at the fruits of his labor, a gratified smile on his tired face. However, he knew that this was just the beginning. In this apocalyptic world, he must continue to improve and strengthen it to ensure his own safety.
After Xiao Yi took a short rest, he began to carefully plan and arrange the interior of the cave.
