After digging for a while, she threw out an alloy iron plate and blocked the top of the hole completely. If one wasn't enough, she blocked it with several more.
After digging to a certain depth, Xiao Jin began digging horizontally. Before long, he unearthed a small shelter, which was only two square meters in size and not large enough to stand up on.
To prevent collapse, Xiao Jin also took out a lot of steel bars to fix it around. While digging, she suddenly felt a little short of oxygen, so she took out an oxygen cylinder and put an oxygen mask on her face.
Xiao Jin dared not relax. As a sudden whistling sound came from above her head, she paused, then her hands moved even faster.
Five minutes later, Xiao Jin sat on the ground, her whole body covered in dust and dirt, like a mud figure, with dust mixed with sweat streaming down her face. She pressed herself against the damp, cold floor, every inch of her skin taut to the extreme.
The sky above was torn to shreds by the gale, and the huge cyclone roared like thunder, as if it were the angry roar of a god. Every time it swept past, it shook the entire underground world to the point of collapse.
Players on the periphery could see that in the distance, dust and gravel seemed to be manipulated by an invisible hand, swirling and colliding wildly in the air, eventually forming a chaotic gray mist.
The giant tornado, like a serpent soaring through the air, swept up trees and boulders, leaving nothing but desolation in its wake. Anyone caught in it was either shredded to pieces by the debris within half a breath, or simply suffocated and passed out.
A loud "boom" shattered the silence underground. Xiao Jin's body trembled violently, and his pupils contracted sharply.
A few meters away, the originally sturdy alloy plate at the top was torn apart by the merciless storm like a piece of paper and disappeared instantly in the gale. The few remaining pieces below were also teetering on the brink of collapse.
Without a moment to hesitate, Xiao Jin almost instinctively rushed to the corner at tunnel L, his hands waving like lightning, and a thicker steel plate appeared out of thin air, vertically inserted into the entrance of the tunnel.
But that's not enough!
She bent down again and used steel bars to secure the corners of the alloy plate by inserting them into the surrounding walls. Then she found heavy marble bricks in the space and used all her strength to pile them up behind the steel plate, making sure they fit perfectly without leaving any gaps.
Sweat trickled down Xiao Jin's forehead, dripping onto the cold ground, only to be instantly swallowed up by the darkness.
When the last marble tile was placed securely, Xiao Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief. She listened carefully to the sound of the wind outside. In any case, the noise inside the shelter had decreased significantly, so she should not be swept away.
Thinking of this, Xiao Jin sat back down deep inside the tunnel.
She had done everything she could. As long as the tornado didn't uproot the entire surface of the earth and the soil beneath, she would be safe.
If that's really the case, there's nothing I can do about it.
The tornado would last for a full hour, and sitting on the ground during that time would be quite boring. Xiao Jin thought for a moment and suddenly remembered that she had bought a lot of electronic products before, and had downloaded a lot of novels and TV series on her tablet, mobile phone, and computer hard drive.
Since she had nothing else to do, and she hadn't had lunch yet, she decided to have lunch.
She quickly wiped the dirt off her hands and face, the blackened wet wipes piling up in a small bulge in the corner. As for her body, she'd leave it as is; the two-square-meter space only allowed her to bend over, so she couldn't move around much.
Sitting directly on the ground, Xiao Jin found a small table in her spatial storage, about 60 centimeters long, which fit perfectly in the tunnel. Then she took out her tablet, opened a suspense drama, and watched the dark visuals and eerie background music. Look how well it matched the strong wind outside!
As for food, Xiao Jin didn't spread out a table as usual; she just ordered a takeout iced fruit tea from a milk tea shop and a plate of braised pork trotters with rice. Outside, the wind would occasionally sway, and dust would fall from the top of the makeshift shelter.
Are you planning to eat all that food along with the dirt? Xiao Jin isn't that hungry yet.
The pig's feet were bought whole and pre-cooked. Xiao Jin then asked someone to cut them for her, added rice and vegetables, and packed them into individual lunch boxes. The meat was still steaming hot, coated in the braising sauce, ensuring it was safe to eat.
As for the surrounding dust... Hey! Special times call for special measures. In my previous life, Xiao Jin even ate a meal sitting amidst a pile of corpses!
A bite of meat, a sip of tea, a few glimpses of TV, and then a few breaths of oxygen to perk yourself up halfway through the meal—an hour passes by quickly.
At 1 o'clock, the strong wind outside stopped right on time. Just to be on the safe side, Xiao Jin waited for another five minutes. Seeing that it was almost time, Xiao Jin bent down and went to the door, putting all the marble, steel plates and other things blocking the way back into his spatial storage.
Having spatial abilities is so convenient.
'Knock knock knock!'
Reaching the edge of the pit, Xiao Jin did not rashly retract the steel plate this time. Instead, he reached out and tapped it, then placed his palm on the steel plate, closed his eyes, and activated his supernatural power.
Sure enough, Xiao Jin opened his eyes after a while.
Besides the steel plate, there was also a lot of dust, gravel, and debris mixed on top of it. If the steel plate had been removed rashly just now, Xiao Jin would definitely have been buried by the things on it.
'receive!'
This time, Xiao Jin increased the output of his supernatural power, silently chanted in his mind, and then stuffed all the items above his head into his space, and the surroundings suddenly brightened.
Jumping out of the pit and looking into the distance, Xiao Jincai finally saw the surrounding scenery clearly.
The green of the grass had long been stripped away by the fierce wind, leaving only bare patches of yellow earth, dry and desolate, revealing the weathered skin of the earth beneath.
All around, as far as Xiao Jin could see, the ground was a mess. Broken trees, which seemed to have come from nowhere, lay scattered on the ground, their pale wood exposed at the broken ends, creating a stark contrast with the surrounding desolation.
An indescribable sense of death filled the air. As Xiao Jin walked, his gaze inadvertently fell on the ground not far away—a twisted figure lying there, a player who had been pulled in from somewhere.
Its head was crushed in mid-air, and the rest of its body was twisted into a ball of rope by the strong wind.
Xiao Jin walked past indifferently.
Just then, it was as if the surroundings had been rewound, the scenery receding rapidly, but in an instant, the surroundings returned to life, just like when Xiao Jin first stepped into this place.
Looking at the lush green grass in front of her, Xiao Jin lowered her eyes, concealing the surprise in them.
She had originally thought that since the resources on those disaster-stricken maps had been almost completely destroyed, there would be very few places left on the island where people could survive.
I never imagined that this kind of damage could be repaired!
…………
Before the tornado hit, Xiao Jin had seen the location of a building in one direction. She wanted to go and take a look, but she was delayed because she had to escape.
Having determined the direction, Xiao Jin continued walking towards the building.
The shovel is a good thing.
After Xiao Jin dug out a resource box from a mound of earth for the third time, she held the shovel directly in her hand and started digging whenever she saw something amiss.
Before, when she was in Zone C, Xiao Jin had to tilt her head back, but here she had to tilt her head down. No matter what, it was her neck that suffered.
