Chapter 24: The troubled times will rise, and the heroes will stand side by side
When most people collect materials, they do not think of using cloth with better water absorption, so they can only use secondary plant fibers instead.
He took out a handful of cloth from the corner of the cupboard and after counting them, Somo felt reassured.
It should be enough!
Lighting the torch, Sumo carefully came to the stone door to check and study where the water was seeping.
After lying down and watching for a while, Sumo felt relieved.
The place where water seeps is the lower right edge of the stone door.
Perhaps because the terrain is not very flat, the shelter is actually slightly higher on the left and lower on the right.
This directly causes acid rain to penetrate through the lower gap on the right.
And because the left and right sides are uneven, luckily there is no penetration on the left side, otherwise it would be troublesome if it penetrates all the way inside.
"If this is the case, it's not too serious..."
Staring at the leaky spot as it seeped in little by little, a bold idea came to Sumo's mind.
"If this kind of acid rain could be collected, it wouldn't be equivalent to a poison, it would be a potent one..."
While others were thinking of ways to survive the disaster, Somo's mind became active in the luxurious shelter.
The more he thought about it, the more Sumo felt that this matter could be done, and he said excitedly:
"Since acid rain will not corrode anything except the human body, I might as well just make a guide rail and use a water tank to collect the acid rain that leaks in!"
He started as he was told, spread the cloth flat, and placed Somo carefully in a place where there was water.
Seeing the water on the ground being quickly absorbed by the dry cloth, Sumati felt relieved in mid-air.
The anxious Oreo seemed to sense that the danger was disappearing, and his grinning expression relaxed.
While he was absorbing water, Sumo began to check the harvest status of the survival point yesterday.
【January 5th on the last calendar day】
[You spent the first night of the disaster safely without being harmed by the disaster (survival points +5)]
[With your unremitting training, your combat effectiveness has increased slightly (survival point +2)]
[You opened the first small building facility attached to the shelter - water supply and drainage channel (survival point +30)]
[Your base has undergone earth-shaking changes, from the wooden age to the stone age (survival points +50)]
[You have obtained your first long-range weapon, which greatly improves your combat effectiveness (survival points +10)]
[Your long-range shooting ability has been improved (survival points +2)]
[Scanning the host’s living environment, survival points are being evaluated, and 52 survival points were obtained today.]
...
Final settlement: Survival points +151
Remaining survival points: 153
153 survival points!
Seeing the statistics behind, Sumo was a little surprised.
Basically all the survival points were spent on upgrading the shelter yesterday, with only 2 points left, and the sense of security plummeted.
Unexpectedly, relying on drainage facilities and stone shelters, the survival points were restored to 153 points again.
"This way I won't be afraid of the disaster suddenly amplifying!"
Compared to this shelter, the restoration of the survival point undoubtedly gives people a greater sense of security.
Sitting on the stone chair, looking at the safe shelter, I felt a sense of security, and then my stomach began to growl in protest.
"You must be hungry too~"
After touching his belly, Somo laughed. Oreo beside him also understood that dinner was about to begin, and he walked around as happily as if he was about to fly.
After pulling out the psionic water that had been stored overnight, and using the survival system to confirm that there was no problem with the water quality, Somo poured all the water into the barrel and stored it.
Use a wooden basin to scoop out about 1L of psionic water from the bucket and pour it into the pot. Somo started to light a fire to cook.
It's still the same bread soup, with a rich soup base, a slightly white color, and an endless aftertaste.
When other people are desperately trying to escape disaster, it is really comfortable to drink such a hot soup in the underground shelter.
After eating and drinking, and washing the pot, the cloth had absorbed only a little bit of the acid rain on the ground.
After carefully poking the end of the cloth aside with a wooden stick, Somo picked up a torch to bake and evaporate the last bit of water stains.
"It looks like there is just a slight leakage, so much accumulated in one night."
After observing the crack in the door, Sumo had a clear understanding of the disaster resistance of the current shelter.
Although acid rain is terrifying, it is a beginner's disaster in the disaster classification of survival games.
This means that as long as everyone uses their brains and is careful, it is not difficult to survive the first disaster.
Facts have also proved that those who can survive basically rely on their own methods and it is basically not a problem to survive for a day.
Use the storage space to conveniently transport the water tank to the lower edge of the steps.
Somo started making rails to collect acid rain.
After using two units of iron to make an iron plate with an iron edge, Somo took out two units of plant fiber to make hemp rope and used it with wooden boxes to fix the rails.
All the rainwater that seeps through the cracks in the door will slide down the stone steps, eventually falling onto the iron plate and sliding all the way into the water tank.
According to the current efficiency, collecting about 1L of rainwater should not be a problem before the disaster is over.
After doing all the disaster relief work, and after scooping out water and watering the vegetable fields, Sumo sat on a chair and continued to collect news.
Unable to go out, almost everyone gathered in the chat channel.
Skipping the dazzling world channel, Sumo clicked on the regional channel that suffered heavy casualties.
The regional channel, which used to be a bit lively in the past, is sparse now, and most of the comments are about exchanging trivial matters.
"Hey, when will these miserable days end?"
"The situation here is not bad. I chose a high ground, which is not bad. It seems that there will be no problem in surviving this disaster, but next time..."
"Xiao Liu, who was next to my base before, has lost contact with me since yesterday. I don't know what happened."
"I heard that some people in the wilderness have abandoned their shelters and are committing crimes by robbing other people's things. Please be smart when fighting disasters and don't let these beasts attack you."
"Yes, in this troubled world without legal jurisdiction, I don't know how many lives will suffer."
"If they dare to come, I am not a vegetarian. I must make them pay a price. Besides, these people must have grabbed a lot of things. Maybe I can gain weight."
"Don't be ridiculous. There are several people here, but you are the only one. You can't beat four hands with two fists!"
After watching the dive for a while, Sumo silently exited the regional channel.
Some people gave up their shelters and chose to wander, collecting supplies by attacking similar people. He had guessed this early on.
I just didn't expect that this loss of humanity would happen so quickly.
"It seems that in the future we not only have to be careful about mutant monsters, but also these wilderness wanderers."
After silently adding one rule to his mind, Sumo began to examine the newly emerged functions.
At this time, under the chat function, in addition to the world channel and regional channel, there is indeed an additional disaster relief channel.
Click to enter the Disaster Resilience Channel.
It's a bit like a live broadcast room in the civilized era, with ten video live broadcast pages evenly arranged from one to ten on one page.
Even the live broadcast room titles are different.
"The first refuge in the universe, no need to buy gifts, just come in and it will be me"
"Today's live broadcast of first-hand acid rain disaster relief, the anchor personally explained the design specifications of the shelter"
"Chinese Shelter, recruiting strong members, recruiting any professional and technical members, recruiting nearby disaster victims, including food and accommodation"
"Top ideas, looking forward to future disaster avoidance trends from an offensive and defensive perspective"
The Lone Wolf Survival Guide
"Zeus Sanctuary, recruiting strong team members, requirements..."
....
Currently among the top ten shelters with live broadcast permissions, there are only four in China, ranking 3,569.
Overseas, there are six.
Seeing this number, Sumo was slightly surprised.
In his estimation, it would be great to have two shelters in the country ranked among the top ten. Unexpectedly, there are actually four shelters now.
After all, in terms of hands-on ability and combat ability, foreign countries are vast and sparsely populated, so there are more opportunities for training.
China is relatively stable, so naturally many people don’t have the opportunity to go to the wild and practice it for real.
