Chapter 36 Hurricane Season 36 Open up the coast and welcome the sandstorm. ……
Jiang Runian left the scene in a hurry.
Hiss, she was clearly doing a good deed, why did she feel uncomfortable? She felt like she was about to retire and turn back. It turned out that being a villain for a long time would become addictive...
However, the campaign against Jiang Ruonian has not yet ended.
When she returned to Qingshan Inn, she was immediately surrounded by a group of players who had just changed into clean clothes.
"Boss Jiang, these are the dried dates we dried earlier. I'm giving them to you!"
"Little girl, I am an old man and I don't have much good stuff. This is the jewelry left by my daughter. Just use it as accommodation fee."
"Sister Anian, I will come to see you tomorrow!"
…
Li Fu had already compiled a list of these players and sent it to Jin Xiu Lian and Meng Li. Both sides had already allocated their new residences according to their original family settlements and were about to leave in the little green car.
Not far away, several other members of Qingshan Sect were also subjected to the same “encirclement and suppression” treatment, especially Liu Yinshuang, who also started crying bitterly.
Fortunately, they met the senior sister that day.
If it were me, I might not stop at all.
Several children also squeezed in, hugged Jiang Ruonian's waist and legs tightly, and raised their hands to show off: "Sister Anian, look! Aunt Chu Yu made a music box for us!"
In a palm-sized square wooden box, a playful little man with short hair who looks like Jiang Runian is dancing on the track, shaking his head. Every time he turns, he changes to a cuter pose. This music box no longer makes the harsh sound of sawing wood, but the happy birthday song learned from children.
Each child had a music box in his hand. Jiang Runian looked at Chu Yu jokingly - this elder Yu with a weird temper was quite popular among the children.
Jiang Runian squatted down, held the soft little girl's hand, and asked softly: "Do you like it? If auntie makes more interesting toys in the future, would you be willing to buy them?"
Qingshan Sect: "..."
Junior sister! ! Don’t think about making money at this touching moment! !
Without waiting for the children to answer, the adults spoke first: "Buy, of course! We are out fighting monsters every day and dare not take the children out of the shelter, so they are always bored. They have been staying indoors for the past few days, but they are much happier than before. I don't know if it's because Pharmacist Feng's soup is too effective, or because Craftsman Chu's toys are too interesting..."
Jiang Runian silently took note of these words.
Probably both.
After sending the players onto the little green car, countless heads popped out of the car windows, expressing their gratitude and reluctance, and choking with sobs as they said goodbye to Qingshan Sect.
"Come back when you have time," Jiang Runian smiled, "You still owe me a meal at a 70% discount."
Everyone knew that Jiang Runian was using jokes to dilute the sentimental atmosphere, so they just sniffed and sat back in their seats obediently.
The player sitting at the end finally looked up at the plaque of Qingshan Inn, sighed and shook his head, feeling regretful, "I would like to come here more often, it's nice and cost-effective, but the hurricane season is about to end... Hey, Boss Jiang, you should also change the windows of the little green car as soon as possible."
Isn’t it a good thing that hurricane season is over? What’s there to be sad about? And what does it have to do with the little green car?
Fearing that her identity as a traveler from another world would be discovered, she nodded and pretended to understand.
After the little green car drove away in a cloud of dust, Jiang Ruunian walked out of the protective shield, looked up at the gloomy sky, and took out a dried date to chew.
The sweetness lingered around her nose, but when she bit down, there was a...crunching sound between her teeth? After a moment of hesitation, she lowered her head and spat out a tiny grain of yellow sand.
...yellow sand?
Jiang Runian's heart tightened and he immediately called out the system.
[Bingo! The host guessed it right. The next natural disaster is the sandstorm!] The system said lightly, [It is not supposed to reveal the topic, but players will give you a guide sooner or later, so it doesn't matter if I tell you - there are four natural disaster seasons a year, namely hurricanes, sandstorms, extreme cold and volcanoes, and each season lasts for three to four weeks. Random natural disasters are more diverse. In addition to the continuous natural disasters like the previous few days, there will also be blood moon nights, green lights, gods' words, etc., which are very interesting!]
After spending a season with this host, the system felt nervous and excited watching the show. This was indeed the host it had chosen, and it handled everything as if it was reading a post-apocalyptic novel!
Jiang Runian: “…”
What a fun tomato and egg scramble! I guess it's not your fault!
Jiang Runian was not completely ignorant of the "sandstorm".
There was once a book in the treasure house that recorded an ancient country called Loulan, which was destroyed by the desert.
A sandstorm is not as powerful as a hurricane. Although it lacks the power to destroy the world, it is an endless torture day and night.
There was no need to worry about the food crops in Qingshan Inn, as they had already achieved self-sufficiency. As for travel, the impact was not that big. Just like the last player said, they could just modify the little green car, and Qingshan Sect would not need to go out much the rest of the time.
However, once the sandstorm season arrives, the water sources in the entire eighth district will be covered.
Water source...
Oh, her head hurts.
The current water source of Qingshan Inn depends entirely on fetching water from the river. According to Chu Yu, "As long as I can make wooden barrels fast enough, the shortage of water will not catch up with me." But in a few days, the river will be buried, so where can we fetch water?
Since the wind is already carrying sand, it means the next natural disaster is not far away.
She thought to herself that she must be prepared before the sandstorm arrives.
*
As soon as the sky was getting light, Jiang Ruunian took Liu Yinshuang and Xiaobai out.
Today's destination is northwest of Qingshan Inn, which is also the estimated extension of the coastline of Sunset Abandoned City.
Ever since returning from Sunset Wasteland last time, the inn has been so busy that they haven't had time to go and check it out. Right now, this is the closest place that is most likely to provide them with sufficient supplies, so I hope this trip won't be in vain.
As the trees on the road became denser and denser, the view ahead was suddenly blocked by a large range of towering mountains.
"...A mountain again?" Liu Yinshuang stared at the steep cliff and spat, "It's just like that broken lake! No wonder no one has discovered these two places. Who would be willing to climb a mountain like this!"
Liu Yinshuang complained angrily and turned around to go home.
But Jiang Runian didn't move.
This mountain is completely different from the continuous mountain ranges around Longnan Lake. It looks like it was cut in half by a knife, and there are palm trees nearby that are only found in humid areas.
She patted Xiaobai's butt and said firmly: "Xiaobai, let's crawl!"
As she slowly moved up the steep cliff, she brushed aside the weeds and looked around at the ground. Suddenly, Jiang Ruonian's eyes were fixed on a fragile sunken piece of land. Not only was there no grass growing, but there was even a small pool of water. She tasted it and it was very salty.
Jiang Runian immediately got off the hook and used the tools provided by Chu Yu to gently chisel twice, and then he made a small hole.
"Fuck your house full of grandparents and grandchildren?!" Liu Yinshuang lay on the ground and looked inside. She couldn't help but blurt out some vulgar words, and almost popped her eyes out of her head. "There's actually a huge huge huge huge huge huge hole underneath?!"
The deep cave is hidden in the mountain wall. With the moist sea breeze blowing in your face and the warm sunshine shining down, the view suddenly opens up. There are several strange-shaped pillars in the cave. Looking through the gaps, the coastline is quietly caressing the white sand, and several palm trees are swaying in the wind.
"This is a sea cave. Let's go down and take a look." Jiang Ruunian curled the corners of his mouth and took out a sturdy hook rope from his bag.
Liu Yinshuang stopped her and tied the other end of the rope around her waist. She patted her chest and said, "Every profession has its own expertise. Leave it to me! Just in case, I asked Elder Yu for dozens of wooden barrels last night!"
Jiang Runian: “…”
If you can do it, then go ahead and do it. She doesn't have the strength to pump dozens of buckets of sea water.
“Little—Junior—Sister—!” Liu Yinshuang shouted at the top of her lungs in the cave, “If this place could be used as a base, it would be absolutely amazing!”
That's true.
Although seawater cannot be drunk directly, it can be purified to obtain fresh water and salt particles. White sand can be used to make glass, and palm oil can be extracted. This sea has not been alienated, and people can fish for seafood peacefully. Even the fishing port and dock that Jiang Ruinian once envisioned may be realized.
More importantly, the entrance of the sea cave faces the sea, which makes it easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is extremely hidden, making it a natural shelter.
Jiang Runian summoned the system again.
The system was quite touched. This independent and self-reliant host hadn't relied on it for a long time, and twice a day! !
[Do you want to build another shelter?] The system thought, [Every player can build a shelter, you can ask other members of the sect to build one, but... the inn's protective shield is built by my management system, and it can't be compared with what ordinary players build.]
I see. The protective shields of Qingshan Sect's members are the same as Senmin Shuguang's.
Let’s just forget it.
Ordinary protective shields consume too many resources and cannot guarantee 100% safety.
[But...] The system said in a long voice, [I just calculated the radius. As long as we upgrade the inn to level 6, the protective shield will be able to cover this cave.]
...The range of the level 6 shield is so large? !
This coastline is at least twenty minutes’ walk from Qingshan Inn!
Now the experience bar for upgrading the inn from level 3 to level 4 is already very long, and it is even more difficult to reach level 6.
But for the sake of water, she had to find a way.
At least the upgrade must be completed within this sandstorm season.
*
When they returned to the inn with a bag of wobbly buckets of water, many familiar faces were already waiting for their return.
The Senmin Tribe sent several large barrels of milk and goat milk, while Shuguang Town packed a box of simple masks and the pure cotton clothes promised by the clothing store owner, specially made into long-sleeved shirts and long pants - it seemed that these were all supplies sent to Qingshan Inn to cope with the sandstorm season.
Jiang Runian accepted it generously.
She was well aware of the contribution she had made to this natural disaster, and it would be hypocritical not to accept it.
After everyone left, Jiang Runian told Qingshan Sect about the sea cave.
Chu Yu built a more solid hook overnight, and also went with them to draw a blueprint for the reconstruction of the cave. As long as this place is not discovered by the bad guys, it can always exist as their resource point.
There was a slight sandstorm for two days, and Qingshan Sect prepared an almost endless supply of sea water, which they took back and slowly purified.
Jiang Runian thought he still had a few days of buffering time, but one morning he heard a panicked scream: "Oh no! Xiaobai has been swept into the Mingsha!"
