The two men placed a small nightlight on the side door of the truck, which had a single side door and a double rear door.
Lin Hu took out the welding torch that Duan Linzhou had traded that day and welded the double doors of the rear vehicle shut.
Based on the design drawings of the carriage, which is 4.2 meters long, 2.1 meters wide, and 2.3 meters high, there is a horizontally placed bed at the foot of the carriage, measuring 2.1 x 1.3 meters. The head of the bed faces the small door leading into the carriage. A partition is installed at both ends of the bed, leaving only a 95-centimeter passage in the middle. A shoe cabinet is placed on the side of the partition leading into the entrance, and a small wardrobe is placed on the other side. At the front of the carriage is a folding sofa that can be converted into a bed, with a table and a chair next to it.
Lin Hu went into the carriage and opened the window at the foot of the bed at the rear of the carriage and the viewing window next to the table.
Because it was my first time, I wasn't very skilled, and it took me eleven o'clock just to get to this step.
If Duan Linzhou hadn't advised him to rest, Lin Hu might have unknowingly worked until the job was finished.
When Lin Hu woke up the next day, he immediately got to work. He used wood to make wooden planks less than 5 millimeters wide and fixed them to the inner walls of the carriage with iron nails. He didn't even leave the "ceiling" untouched. He laid the floor in a tic-tac-toe pattern. Just laying these planks took the two of them another morning.
During lunch, Lin Hu received many messages from friends.
[Cheng Yuan: Boss, are you feeling dizzy, nauseous, and unable to eat?]
[Lin Hu: No, what's wrong?]
[Cheng Yuan: It's strange, my sister, Xi Yuan, and I are all like this, as are Brother Zhang and Xiao Xiao.]
[Lin Hu: I know, they messaged me to ask. I think the natural disaster this time might be fog, which could cause dizziness and nausea.]
[Cheng Yuan: What should we do? Eating is difficult now; what if it gets worse?]
[Lin Hu: Don't rush, let me think of a way.]
Cheng Yuan: Okay, boss.
Lin Hu received several messages, all with similar content, so he replied to Cheng Yuan first. He then went to reply to the others before checking the chat area to see what was happening with the others.
【? ?: Oh my god, am I pregnant? I feel dizzy, nauseous, and want to vomit.】
【??: Upstairs, what are you, a man, doing getting pregnant?】
【？？？：I also feel dizzy, nauseous, and want to vomit. I haven't eaten anything all day.】
[Cheng xx: I thought I was the only one like this.]
[Zhu xx: Add one]
【? : Add one】
...
[Qian XX: So what's going on now? Can someone explain?]
【？？？：Yeah, it's making people anxious right now.】
Lin Hu glanced at Duan Linzhou and Boss Zhou. One was wiping the table outside, while the other was lying on his back in his arms, drinking from a baby bottle and staring at him with wide eyes.
Very good, they all look very energetic.
Lin Hu then sent a message to the group that Duan's father had created using one hundred level-three crystal cores to ask about the situation.
Aside from being a little listless, everything else is fine. I can still eat, and my condition isn't as serious as those people in the chat area.
Lin Hu pondered for a moment, realizing that only his side was operating normally. What was certain was that this was a severe fog disaster, not just ordinary fog. The system's description of it as "disgusting fog" indicated that the fog contained harmful gases. Right now it was just a thin fog; once it became a true thick fog, it would be no less severe than extreme cold.
He figured that since he and Duan Linzhou were both alright, it must be because something on his raft had blocked the harmful substances in the fog.
[Lin Hu: Is there something on my raft that can protect me from this natural disaster?]
[1097: They're not always by your side, so they don't even know what you've planted?]
[Lin Hu: What could be blocking this? Is it just thick fog?]
[1097: We have our own rules and cannot interfere too much with the host. Unless the host triggers the object, it can't receive information and give you a notification~]
Lin Hu had guessed it too, otherwise he wouldn't have suddenly received the task of making ginger soup in the middle of the night last time, and he also had to ensure the survival rate of 60% of the people.
Lin Hu got up and walked outside, touching each of the plants in the yard. When he touched the mint, 1097 gave him a hint.
[1097: Ding-dong! Plants capable of withstanding this natural disaster have been detected! Mission triggered: Please maintain a population of 50% in the disaster-stricken area!]
[Linhu: Down 10%?]
[1097: Yes! This value is estimated based on the extent of the natural disaster.]
Lin Hu thought it was because they were afraid he would be punished again, so they reduced it by 10%, but he didn't expect it was because this natural disaster was more serious than the extreme cold.
[Lin Hu: So how should we use this mint? Grow it or eat it?]
[1097: Ideally, you'd grow them and eat them, but do you have that many seedlings?]
……No
[1097: Eating can also alleviate the symptoms, but there seem to be only about 30 plants on the host's raft, including those in the secluded countryside. Maybe I should buy some more from the shop~]
[Lin Hu: You're really not a salesperson?]
1097 remained silent, and Lin Hu ignored it, opening the online store to search for mint seedlings.
Looking at a plant with 5 level-3 crystal cores, it wasn't expensive, but he always felt that the system had secretly inflated the price.
Lin Hu exchanged all his level one and two crystal cores for level three crystal cores in the mall. He spent all of them, nearly 3,000 level three crystal cores, and bought mint seedlings.
He ran to find Duan Linzhou, but he was running so fast that he almost tripped and fell flat on his face. When he regained his balance, he saw Duan Linzhou walking towards him not far from the door of the wooden house.
"What's wrong? Are you alright?" Duan Linzhou asked.
"It's alright, it's alright, take a look at this first." Lin Hu said excitedly, showing Duan Linzhou a sprig of mint in his hand.
