Chapter 8: Clearing the Ground
【System: Reconnaissance operation successful.】
Qin Zhiyu looked at the pattern he had detected. There were no monsters in the forest on the right, but there were mutated cacti in the forest on the left. For someone who was used to seeing palm-sized potted cacti, the two-meter-tall cactus was extremely huge.
Behind the platform of the villa area, a half-meter-long rat was digging a hole, and there were a bunch of cubs under the rat in the hole.
Forget about the cactus, the little boss is not only tricky but also prickly, so Qin Zhiyu decided to start with the mouse.
Walk through the woods on the right, pay attention to the movements of the cactus, cross the road carefully, and stand on the platform.
The mouse with big ears and strong perception had heard the noise and squatted at the entrance of the cave, leaving only its two dark eyes flashing, staring at Qin Zhiyu motionlessly.
The atmosphere was stagnant at this moment. Qin Zhiyu knew that if she moved, the rat would pounce on her and bite her.
Qin Zhiyu lowered his body and took two steps forward. The sensitive fat rat immediately made a "squeak" sound to warn the person coming.
Qin Zhiyu didn't wait. He found the right angle of attack, exerted force with his feet, and rushed forward quickly. However, the mouse moved very quickly and did not become clumsy because of its increased size.
The first hit missed and hit the mouse's butt, causing it to let out a sharp whine and its fat body hit Qin Zhiyu's left arm.
There must be a bruise, she thought, but her hands moved quickly, and the second stick hit the mouse's head, which was half the size of a football.
"Hit! Headshot!"
As expected, the monsters in the early stages are easy to deal with. As long as you exercise diligently before the end of the world and have a certain amount of strength, it is still easy to survive.
After Qin Zhiyu killed the mouse, its cubs also fled in all directions.
Qin Zhiyu ignored these insignificant little mice because 33 minutes had already passed.
She chose a relatively central position on the flat ground.
[Would you like to set up a shelter here? Note: Once placed, it cannot be moved.]
【yes】
[You named your shelter "Dawn". It doesn't have the same name as anyone else's shelter. Please confirm.]
A familiar light lit up, appearing exceptionally brilliant in the gradually darkening night sky. Where the light faded, a hundred-square-meter shelter rose from the ground.
It’s done. Qin Zhiyu looked at the built shelter with joy on his face. The first goal of surviving the natural disaster was completed.
This is a better location than in her dreams, "Dawn Sanctuary", she is very satisfied!
[Natural Disaster Survival Guide: 100 million shelters have been placed, opening a new panel.]
Following the arrival of the natural disaster system more than half an hour ago, there is now another large-scale system change. At this time, everyone is staring at these panels intently.
【Chat】panel open
The chat panel is divided into four major sections, namely national area, provincial area and municipal area for chatting with friends. Currently, the national area is temporarily blocked.
Many people in prefecture-level cities began to speak up, and although the provincial area had been unlocked, no one had spoken yet.
To speak in a provincial area, one needs a level 1 shelter. Only a very small number of people in the world have quickly established shelter nodes, so this condition is not so easy to meet, so no one speaks.
"Departure Shelter: Damn it, I chose the wrong location for the shelter. There are too many shelters here!"
"Brave Fearless Shelter: Another unlucky guy. When I put the shelter, there was a prompt. Who can I blame for not seeing it clearly?"
"The Refuge: Hahahaha, as an outdoor survival enthusiast, everything that happened today was a miracle I never imagined in my wildest dreams!"
"Name it the Incompetent Shelter: Boss, take me with you!"
"Sanren Shelter: Please bring +1!"
…
In the chat area of the city, there are still many people looking for their relatives and asking the reason for the coming of the end of the world.
As the first 100 million people to build shelters, this speed is not particularly fast, but among the novice gift packages of these 100 million people, just this small lead will improve the quality.
In the Disaster Survival Guide, you don't gain experience points by killing monsters individually, and you can't level up like in a game. Only the shelter can be upgraded, and the upgrade of the shelter requires construction value.
If a person wants to improve his or her score, he or she needs to be lucky enough to pick up a treasure chest, or to get a treasure chest when killing monsters. The rat that Qin Zhiyu just killed dropped a bronze treasure chest.
Qin Zhiyu walked into his own shelter, an open space of 100 square meters made of wood, exactly the same as the one in his dream.
This currently inconspicuous shelter will be her foundation. She will turn it into the most disaster-resistant fortress that everyone yearns for!
Qin Zhiyu sat on the floor of his shelter and carefully went through the natural disaster survival guide.
Currently, the Disaster Survival Guide mainly consists of six categories: [Personal] [Shelter] [Chat] [Manufacturing] [Trading] and [Map].
Individuals are personal attributes.
Shelter is a property of Shelter.
Chat, manufacturing and trading are the panels that have just been updated, and the map is a basic function that comes with the arrival of the living shelter.
Qin Zhiyu clicked on the properties of his shelter.
Level 0
【Durability】100/100
【Material】Wood
【Construction value】0/1000
Evaluation: Novice shelter with poor disaster resistance.
The attribute values of the shelter were the same as in her dream, and she clicked on the production panel again.
The production panel involves the making of some basic tools and simple food cooking. As long as you have the raw materials, you can get the finished product by silently saying "make" in your mind.
But this is limited to simple tools in the early stages. Complex products require more complex drawings and tools to unlock.
There was no change in the trading panel. There were not many people trading there. They were just some very simple items such as wood and stone. Food was very rare. The items set up for trading were also varied and the value ratios varied.
A 5% handling fee will be charged for the transaction.
"Newbie gift pack!"
When the construction of the shelter was just completed, this big gift pack for beginners arrived along with the completed shelter.
Qin Zhiyu is very much looking forward to it. He wonders whether this upgraded novice gift pack will give him novice items that are different from what he dreamed of.

"Wow! Big profit!"
Qin Zhiyu looked at the supplies on the ground excitedly. Not only were all his materials from the first round made of wood, he only had half of the food, and more importantly, an iron sword!
