Chapter 68 Dry Weather
He will go back and continue to study human body language, facial expressions, Chinese language, and Chinese culture...
He had so much to learn that he had to sleep for three hours every day to allow the movement to cool down and avoid short circuiting due to excessive load.
"Meow!" Qin You made a noise in front of Wen Zhousheng.
"You mean... you want me to help you install a claw-sensing door-opening device?" Wen Zhousheng thought for a moment and spoke cautiously.
After all, he had just learned human language and was learning cat language, so he was not completely sure that he could do this reading comprehension completely.
"Meow~" Qin You nodded the cat's head.
"Yes, but the necessary materials still need to be collected, and the installation can be completed within the high temperature disaster." Wen Zhousheng thought about the probability of the installation materials appearing at the trading venue.
The sensing device is not a valuable item, but the probability of finding it in a treasure chest is still relatively rare, so if someone sells it, the price will not be cheap and you still need to wait.
"Meow."
Looking at Qin You's confident and expectant look, Wen Zhousheng could analyze its determination to "dominate" in the shelter at this moment.
After taking care of everything, Wen Zhousheng continued to study. As long as he lives, he will never stop learning.
Qin Zhiyu lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep in a moment. But before falling asleep, he thought of the unread personal private messages. He could ignore the ones from the shelter, but he still needed to reply to the messages from his teammates.
Ten o'clock in the morning.
As soon as Qin Zhiyu woke up, he lay on the bed and replied to the message first, so as not to forget it later.
The people who sent the message were mainly Wu Chufu's teammates. They just simply asked about his safety, so Qin Zhiyu replied, but he was worried about what gifts to give them.
Giving gifts is a science. You can neither give gifts that are too common nor gifts that are too eye-catching.
A gift that is too ordinary will lose the original intention of Qin Zhiyu giving the gift.
She learned from 007 that this gear played a very important role in its successful upgrade and shaping. Moreover, the original appearance of the gear has been completely engraved by 007, so in 007's hands, there will be endless possibilities in the future.
If the gift is too good and goes beyond the meaning of gratitude, it may accidentally expose Qin Zhiyu's shelter information.
After all, some things are only sold in her shelter on the trading platform, so these things definitely cannot be given away.
She would not give any gift that might even arouse their suspicion.
So what to give becomes a problem...
Weapons? One for each of the three of them. How could she possibly have so many suitable weapons to give away?
Armor? The low-level ones are too low, and the high-level ones are not enough. Overturn.
Fruits and vegetables?!
Qin Zhiyu looked out the bare window and her eyes lit up. She had not yet planted trees. Thinking of this, she remembered that there was a big red date tree in the backyard of the cave, and there were quite a few fruits on that tree.
In addition, I had harvested a crop of vegetables before, and I couldn’t finish them all by myself, so I could share them with them.
After all, vegetables and fruits are considered high-end and rare items nowadays, and they don’t have obvious identification, so they can be given as gifts!
Action speaks louder than words. Qin Zhiyu got up, washed, had breakfast of eggs and milk, and went to the backyard of the cave to pick red dates and feed and change the water for the pigs.
As soon as Qin Zhiyu arrived at the backyard, Qin Youteng suddenly jumped out of the cave and appeared in front of Qin Zhiyu, "Meow!"
"Be good." Qin Zhiyu caught Qin You.
Qin Lan and Qin Mo were also working as "supervisors" by the fish pond.
Qin Zhiyu enjoyed the shopping and gave all the fruits and other things to her teammates.
In addition, Qin Zhiyu was still considering whether he should reply to a message from another person.
Bai Qianyu: Did you return safely?
Out of politeness and because of their experience in playing the game together, Qin Zhiyu still replied.
Qin Zhiyu: Safe.
I really didn't expect that Bai Qianyu could still respond instantly during the natural disaster era.
Bai Qianyu: I'm glad you're safe. After seeing you jump that day, I've been worried for a while now.
Qin Zhiyu: Thank you for your concern.
Qin Zhiyu replied indifferently because she didn't know what to say.
After dealing with all of this, a lot of energy crystals were obtained from the blood pool, which made up for the system's missing information*2 at one time, and the system progress reached 22%.
It seems that not only human special abilities can make up for the missing information in the system, but other methods can also do so.
In other words, the fragments of missing system information are scattered among different species.
From now on, we will have to see where there are strange things. Qin Zhiyu will definitely not miss the opportunity to explore those places. Who knows, there might be fragments there.
"Do you want to go out for a walk with me?" Although the weather outside is very hot, it is necessary to go out and see what's going on outside.
"I won't go." Wen Zhousheng said. He still had to take care of the shelter, purchasing, selling, and adding raw materials.
"Meow!" Qin Mo jumped to Qin Zhiyu's feet first, looked up and stared at her with his round eyes.
"Okay, Qin Lan, do you want to go?" Qin Zhiyu asked.
"I'm going too." Qin Lan always felt uneasy looking at Qin Mo. He was not like Qin You, who always liked to run around and was not happy to stay in the shelter all the time.
Qin Zhiyu went out with two kittens.
007 has installed the thermometer. The boiling point of a kerosene thermometer is generally higher than 150°C, the freezing point is lower than -30°C, and the measuring range is approximately -30°C to 150°C.
Qin Zhiyu can see the current temperature of each area through the thermometer.
Since the air conditioner was produced yesterday, the temperature inside the shelter has been kept at 25℃. It is even lower on the underground floor, only 20℃. The temperature in the cave is 30℃, which is suitable for the growth of animals and plants.
It wasn't so comfortable once I left the shelter.
The rolling heat wave hit them in the face. The two kittens were so hot that they stuck out their tongues and the tips of their fur were slightly curled. The temperature outside was already 40℃.
The temperature has risen by 3 to 5 degrees Celsius compared to yesterday. There are still 5 days of high temperature disaster. How terrible. On the last day, the temperature may reach 50 degrees. Should we go out or stay in the shelter, exposing our skin to the air is like roasting our skin in front of a stove?
Qin Zhiyu stayed outside the shelter. In the past, when he stood here and looked out, the lush forest outside was just a pleasure to look at.
But now, if I stay here and look outside, there is no shade anywhere around, and the water in my body is constantly evaporating, making me feel like I will be dried out if I don’t replenish water.
The two furry creatures beside him were so furry that they couldn't wait to get into the little shade dragged by Qin Zhiyu, to get a little cool, even birds wouldn't fly...
Qin Zhiyu brought the materials for setting traps and was busy in the wasteland around the shelter.
The trees have turned yellow and withered, and the leaves fall to the ground with a slight touch.
A firebreak had been carved around the shelter, but after a few days of not cutting down trees, lush shrubs had grown there. Now, after withering, only patches of dry, yellow grass remained.
Qin Zhiyu looked at the dead grass and felt something was wrong.
The weather is dry, be careful with fire!
In such dry weather, if there is even a little spark, it will spread all over the place in an instant. Wouldn't this shelter be like being roasted in a furnace?
Qin Zhiyu planned to set the trap, so he went to clean up the dead grass, trees and other things around the shelter.
The trap is made with raw materials in the tool shed, and you just have to take it out and choose a suitable location to place it.
The bamboo strips of the trap are thinned in the middle and can be bent. The bamboo strips are inserted into the ground in the shape of an arch. The stone is hung above the branches at the top of the arch, and a small wooden stick is tied to one end of the rope of appropriate length.
The stone was in a pulled-up state, with a small wooden stick stuck in the arch, another branch stuck in the horizontal bar, and a layer of dry grass and branches spread on it.
Food that the prey likes to eat can be placed on the branches as bait. As long as the animal eats the bait, the trap will be triggered, the stone will fall, and hit the prey.
If it were only effective against ordinary animals in reality, not to mention the mutated animals in natural disasters, these small traps would definitely not be able to do anything to them.
However, after the natural disaster, the trap was improved and strengthened. A dense iron block was placed in it. The iron block was made into an inconspicuous appearance. Its gray color blended well into the environment. The reaction was also faster and more sensitive. Who knows, there might be a chance to catch prey.
Qin Zhiyu chose the only way to her shelter and placed two 100 meters each in the east, south, west and north directions.
Before Qin Zhiyu could return to the shelter, the forest on the back mountain suddenly started to burn. In an instant, the entire sky turned red.
"Oh no! It won't be long before the shelter is burned down." Qin Zhiyu was really impressed. Whatever he feared came true.
All you can do is pick up an axe and chop down as many trees and clear as many weeds as you can. Otherwise, there is no other way.
There is no such good thing as an excavator. Human resources are limited. Let’s build an isolation zone first.
"Meow! Master, I can summon mice to eat all these trees and grasses clean." Qin Lan understood what to do now and spoke.
"Good idea!" Qin Zhiyu's eyes lit up. Although his hands did not slow down, it was still faster than doing it alone.
"Meow!" Qin Lan's voice this time was more powerful and deep.
This is their language!
Qin Zhiyu saw more rats than last time, crawling out from the ground and the grass in an overwhelming manner.
They gathered around the shelter and gnawed at the surrounding dead grass and trees with a crunching sound.
For a moment, Qin Zhiyu actually felt that his slow speed was a bit of a hindrance, so he simply stood aside and watched them, and by the way, put all the large trees into the storage space. These were supplies and could not be wasted.
Before the wildfire reached the shelter, the rats summoned by Qin Lan had already eaten up all the trees and weeds within the shelter.
But now the back mountain has been burned and is completely bare and black.
"Chirp." A gray mouse as big as two mice stood next to Qin Lan and rubbed its paws.
"Meow!"
"Squeak." After bowing to the mouse, it ran to Qin Zhiyu with eager eyes and looked at her with two black bean-like eyes.
"Okay." Qin Zhiyu understood Qin Lan's meaning and took out a large piece of mixed meat and threw it in front of the mice, asking them to move it back to their nests and feed their offspring.
Although rats are a nuisance and infectious diseases such as plague are prone to occur, there is nothing to be afraid of with these cat kings at home.
The rats didn't even dare to come near the shelter to eat.
Moreover, the Rat King had been killed by Qin Zhiyu long ago, and the newly elected Rat King had not yet become powerful. Qin Zhiyu was naturally not worried and boldly fed them some insignificant food as a reward.
After cleaning up, I was covered in sweat and dust again. It was really unbearable to work in such high temperatures.
If the high temperature disaster is postponed, the difficulty may be more than what it is now. The temperature may exceed 45 degrees on the third day.
After complaining in his heart for a while, Qin Zhiyu hurried back to the shelter. He couldn't stand the temperature.
Gulp gulp!
After drinking a glass of ice water, Qin Zhiyu felt alive again, and the two kittens quickly slipped into the cave pool in the backyard and played with the fish.
"Zhi Yu, the bow and arrow are ready." Wen Zhousheng held a one-meter-long arrow.
The bow body is made of ancient emerald green rattan, and the bowstring is made of flesh-colored unknown material.
It is equipped with ten long arrows. The style of this arrow is a bit like the ones seen in the high-temperature space training. The arrow head is sharp and small, and there is a feather at the tail to maintain balance.
"It's so beautiful." Qin Zhiyu fell in love with this ancient and majestic bow and arrow at first sight.
This was the appearance of the weapon she had always wanted. The scimitar, long sword, hidden weapon, and nine-curve sword she had used before had never made her feel so excited.
This bow and arrow is so beautiful that Qin Zhiyu couldn't help but admire it again.
"Zhi Yu, you can buy a few books on commonly used weapons from the provincial channel. With guidance, your training will be more efficient." Wen Zhousheng suggested.
"It's feasible." Qin Zhiyu already had the idea of acquisition.
Taking advantage of the free time now, you can browse the trading channel while acquiring techniques.
Provincial channel.
Dawn Shelter: Purchase weapons and techniques books, no category restrictions, price to be sent privately.
Qin Zhiyu sent three purchase messages in a row, which was a rare sight in the provincial channel.
Who would have thought that the famous Dawn Shelter, which just reached the top yesterday, would show up today to purchase items, and even techniques.
While everyone is still worrying about how to have their next meal, others are already sprinting along the road to a well-off life, leaving everyone behind!
Qin Zhiyu, who was quietly waiting for the private messages to accumulate, clicked on the transaction. Today, 20 bicycles, 1 air conditioner, and 50 ordinary quality medical kits have been put up for sale in the Dawn Shelter.
Bicycles are now sold out, medical kits are mostly in stock, and there is only one air conditioner left. With a high price of 50 iron, it is sold out in seconds after being put on the market. It is really popular.
"Wow, so many private messages." Qin Zhiyu scrolled down and saw seven or eight private messages at a glance. It would take some time to read them all.
She had set a threshold before, but for the current stage, the threshold is lower.
Qin Zhiyu thought about it and read all the private messages asking for recycling one by one, leaving only two that were valuable.
Seeing that the number of private messages was no longer increasing, Qin Zhiyu set a communication threshold of 3 irons. The reason was that not only was it tiring to read too many messages, but it was also useless.
Qin Zhiyu was unwilling to waste his time looking at meaningless things carefully.
Click on one of the private messages.
Thank you, Trace and mm222!
