115. New home

Remi stayed with the many children for a while, then returned to the cave to continue preparing food.

"Give it to me."

Lu Li's radio adjuster Jimmy said, taking it from his thick claws and adjusting the frequency to the Exorcist broadcast.

Elm Forest is too far from the city to receive regular frequency broadcasts - especially after disaster strikes Belfast.

The only ones that can be received now may be the Exorcist broadcast, or maybe none at all.

The cacophony of noise was vaguely accompanied by a strangely changed human voice in the background.

[…Shasha…Survived…Li…Shasha…Xim…]

After a few dozen seconds of fine-tuning, the human voice on the radio drowned out the noise.

Exorcist Radio is showing content related to the events in Belfast.

Putting the radio back on the low table between the lounge chairs, Lu Li, Jimmy, and Anna, who had returned to Lu Li's side, listened quietly to the message coming from the radio.

Some residents who survived last night have left the city and been picked up by the Exorcist Alliance on the back of Sugard Mountain. But so far, less than a hundred people have been rescued.

The United Exorcists are considering entering Belfast to rescue survivors.

In addition, the Exorcist Radio advises survivors who are listening to the radio to try to escape the city before sunset, or find a relatively safe hiding place.

They detected that the strange existence on the sea has not left yet - after sunset, the strange fog will once again cover the ruins of Belfast.

Near eight o'clock in the morning, the vegetable soup and barbecue slices cooked by Remi were ready, and the desk at the refuge was carried to the couch.

Remi told Lu Li that there should be a chimney at the refuge. Although the smoke from the fireplace would float out of the cave, some pungent smoke smell would still remain.

That might have some impact on Lu Li's body.

Knowing this, Anna agreed before Lu Li could answer that she would later dig a chimney in the rock wall leading to the outside of the cave.

Anna picked up the spoon, blew away the rising heat, and handed it to Lu Li's mouth: "Ah~"

"I can move."

Lu Li slowly raised his arm, but Anna pushed it back down: "Do you plan to spend the whole morning eating?"

Although it was awkward, Lu Li still accepted Anna's care.

After returning from hell, Anna's character was indeed uncharacteristic.

It's understandable. This is related to what Lu Li said, and also because staying in hell for too long made her worry.

Although Anna's behavior is a bit tough, like going from one extreme to another, it is still better than losing yourself and becoming your own shadow.

Lu Li thought and opened his mouth slightly.

Anna raised the corners of her lips and fed carefully, the tenderness in her eyes almost melting away.

After swallowing the hot soup, the dissipated heat dissipated the slight coolness brought by the sea breeze blowing on the top of the cliff.

Anna Jimi also ate very little. He said it was enough just to feel that he was still a human being. Remi was a little envious because, like Anna, she couldn't eat or taste anything.

After eating, half of the food was left, so Remi took the desk and food away to avoid the difficulty.

It's only over ten degrees today, so it won't be bad tomorrow.

The next step is to build a new home for the "children". It took Jimmy and his sister a day and a half to build the cabin, but this time with Anna's help, it will be faster.

Anna went to find the completely dead elm trees and brought them back. Remi found the remaining tools and nails for pruning the wooden house and cleared a clearing next to the entrance to the cliff.

A cabin similar to Remy Jimmy's cabin was completely built in two hours.

Looking from the top of the cliff, one can see a forest hut built of elm wood very close among the withered trees.

Remi took the "children" to visit their new home, but they preferred to stay by Lu Li's side, lying at his feet, or playing around.

It's hard to imagine that a group of charred monsters that would otherwise make people fearful and disgusting can bring a sense of peace.

"There are some bedding missing, but I don't think they will need those," Remy said.

There is no furniture in the room, only a rough wooden bed made of leftover wood that can accommodate all the children.

"There are some spare parts in the cellar that can be given to them," Lu Li said.

Remi did as he asked, took back the quilt and spread it on the wooden bed.

The "children" gathered around seemed to remember something, jumped on the bed, arched their chins against the quilt, and then rolled around and played regardless of the mud stains on the clean quilt.

Remi looked at this scene with relief, just like looking at a group of ordinary children playing around.

This is the reason why she trusts and is grateful to Lu Li.

As morning approached, the sky became darker than in the early morning.

A gloomy rain cloud is coming from the sea.

Lu Li and Jimmy were sent to the cave. Half an hour later, a hazy rain fell.

["This rain can cool down the flames in Belfast." "I hope it won't rain for too long, which will be terrible for the survivors."]

The radio broadcasts the announcer's conversation in time.

The rainy season is coming to an end and this should be the last rain of summer.

It is inevitable that rain will bring cooling, but this rain will not affect Lu Li.

At this time, in front of the entrance of the cave, Lu Li and Jimmy were leaning on the lounge chairs, covered with blankets, and the mist was rising from the hot tea in their hands. Occasionally, the cold and moist wind blew into the cave, and they were warmed by the warmth from the fireplace deep in the cave.

dispersed.

Looking at the lead-like curtain of rain, Lu Li thought of something he had temporarily given up on: the water reservoir.

The reason for being abandoned is simple: even if a reservoir is dug on the hard rock, the accumulated rainwater will seep into the ground over time and cannot be stored for a long time. The top of the cliff is at the highest point of the elm forest, and the lakes and rivers in the forest are also

Hard to attract.

Distilled seawater can only accumulate a small amount of fresh water, barely enough for Lu Li and Jimmy to drink.

So what if there was another way to store rainwater?

Lu Li expressed his idea to Anna and Remi about whether they could use their abilities to accumulate water.

Anna can do it, but she can't maintain it unless she constantly controls her ability to hold up rainwater.

Remy also regretfully said that she had no choice.

For the time being, they can only use the three wooden barrels placed outside the cave to collect rainwater.

After a while, Remi, who was worried that the wooden house would leak, left the cave.

She and Jimmy's cabin was still dry, but the "children's" wooden cabin was leaking, so she came back with tools and sealed several leaks together with the windows. Unless the intact glass could be recovered, Remy

There are no plans to unblock windows for the time being.

The rain became heavier in the afternoon, continued for a while, then returned to light rain, and finally subsided at dusk.

Not long after, Remi came back and told Lu Li and the others that mist was rising from the sea again.

As night falls, the eerie fog returns, shrouding silent Belfast and the elm forest.

Lu Li returned to the deepest refuge point.

Brother Jimmy and his "children" stayed in the cave to rest.

A peaceful and peaceful day passed.

At least for them on the top of the cliff.
