Chapter 24 The Harvest of the Trap
The boundless night swallowed up everything in the wilderness.
A faint glow of fire emerged from the gaps in the shelter, emitting an extremely weak light.
Mutated creatures that became extremely active also emerged from hiding places everywhere and wandered in the wasteland.
Birds flew past the stone shelter on the spire, big gray moths with flapping wings flew in the gaps, scavenging beetles used their forelimbs to dig up the soil where the bones were buried, and groups of mutated sheep preyed on the grass.
The one-horned rabbit...
The night was as crazy as the previous few days!
In the shelter located in the center of the wasteland, Lin Yue was already asleep.
The sense of security provided by this stone shelter was as reliable as his feelings.
Some mutant creatures hit the stone walls with their bodies, but found that it had no effect at all, and instead caused their heads to bleed.
Although Xiaobai who was awakened kept shouting "Puh-chi-pah-chi", Lin Yue, who had been fighting and searching for a whole day, was extremely exhausted and fell into a deep sleep.
Finally, Xiaobai gradually got used to the sound of banging on the wall outside, and fell asleep in the bowl.
However, in this different world, there are not many people who can sleep as sweetly as Lin Yue.
The vast majority of people are facing great challenges from crises such as thirst, hunger, and mutant creatures.
For them, sleeping at night is even a luxury!
…
One night passed.
Lin Yue stretched himself, yawned and got up.
There has always been a dull pain in my left arm.
He put his arm close to the torch and found that there was a large bruise there!
Yesterday, he entered the secret realm wearing wooden armor and was hit hard several times by the big rat inside. He was too excited at the time and didn't pay attention.
After coming back, I was busy digging traps and cleaning up the shelter. Then I went to the mall to sell Du Ping's shelter design drawings...
In the end, he didn't even know how he fell asleep.
"It's not bad. Fortunately, there are no minor wounds, otherwise..." Lin Yue felt that he was arrogant as he looked at it.
At that time, the wooden armor was broken and I didn't pay much attention to it. Now that I think of the battle at that time, it was indeed a bit thrilling.
Fortunately, he got through it.
Xiaobai was sleeping soundly in the bowl, and Lin Yue did not disturb it. He used the last few pieces of wood to make a new set of wooden armor, put it on, and opened the stone door with a small round shield and an iron spear.
The sun has not yet risen, and there is a vague mist filling the air.
Lin Yue felt that the morning of the fifth day seemed to be cooler than before.
It was not quiet outside, and he heard a humming sound coming from behind the house.
After carefully walking over, he was pleasantly surprised to see two mutated sheep lying in the trap dug yesterday!
Moreover, their blood flow was extremely large, and they were seeing more air coming out and less air coming in.
Lin Yue's iron spear easily penetrated their throats, ending their lives and obtaining two copper treasure chests.
"The trap is really good, isn't it." He smiled and got two pieces of sheepskin, 20 kilograms of mutton and four tusks again.
After cleaning up these things, Lin Yue started making new things on the other side.
The system's judgment on the design drawing is that as long as it can make something basically similar, the design drawing can be obtained.
The previous ladder and the trap in front of us were both determined in this way.
In view of this, Lin Yue decided to make something new to see if it could be judged as a design drawing by the system.
The materials I took out when I was in the secret realm yesterday were cubes, and Lin Yue got his inspiration from this.
He took out 4 units of stones and made them into a "mouth" shape.
No response.
What about building another layer?
[You have obtained the design drawing of the stone stove]
really!
[Stone stove: stone x4]
He also made a stove with a hole on one side, and Lin Yue found that it was just the right size to hold an iron pot, so it was quite suitable.
Put some hay under the stone stove and light the match!
Set up a pot to boil water and put two bags of instant noodles, vegetable buns and sauce packets in.
After a while, Lin Yue's stomach began to growl as the fragrance spread.
On the shoulder, Xiaobai climbed up at some point, sniffing the smell coming from the pot, and was quite interested.
"Xiaobai, do you want a bite too?"
"Pfft!"
Lin Yue touched its little head, found a new pair of chopsticks from the chopstick box, picked up some noodles, cooled them and handed them to Xiao Bai's mouth.
Xiaobai seemed to be born to eat noodles. He took a bite of the noodles and swallowed all the noodles into his stomach.
"Pfft~" After finishing this bite, it actually wanted more.
"Good guy, who would have thought that lizards love instant noodles?" Lin Yue couldn't help but laugh.
This time he brought Xiaobai's bowl, put some noodles in it to dry, and put them aside for Xiaobai to eat, and he also started eating while holding the pot.
After a while, everyone was so satisfied that they burped.
Originally, Lin Yue wanted to work on the design of the shelter directly after dinner, but unexpectedly, cooking instant noodles was a different kind of fun.
Now that we’re full, it’s time to get down to business.
Putting away the stove, iron pot and wooden chopsticks, Lin Yue looked at the shelter design in the inventory.
"use!"
However, when Lin Yue finished speaking, the familiar white light did not appear. Instead, the system's voice sounded at this time.
[Shelter design drawing, please select construction category]
[1. Built separately, the shelter can be placed on the ground or underground in any terrain]
[2. Merged construction can be integrated with existing shelters to expand the shelter area]
Separate construction or combined construction?
He examines the limitations of existing shelters.
The main contradiction is that the space is too small, but both construction directions can solve this problem.
Secondary contradiction...safety!
Lin Yue looked at the description of the existing shelter and found that the durability dropped by 22 points in one night.
He didn't need to guess to know that this was the work of a mutated creature at night.
Stone shelters are not that safe either.
What's more, this is a snow disaster. If the next disaster is a major earthquake, will this shelter be able to hold on?
Among the two options, the second one was to expand the area. Lin Yue thought about it and ruled it out.
The larger the area, the worse the warmth.
He has not yet made preparations for the snow disaster, but if he blindly expands the area of the shelter, he will fall into an unfavorable situation.
The first option is to build a warehouse and a basement.
A warehouse cannot be used as a basement, but a basement can be used as a warehouse.
"Then, choose to build an underground shelter!"
[Please select shelter material]
Is it so complicated?
I looked at the various materials I have now.
4 wood, 72 stone, 25 iron blocks, 43 copper ingots, 22 coal.
[To build a stone underground shelter, a total of 45 stones are needed]
[Please select the construction location]
"Underground in the original shelter!"
A flash of white light flashed.
Chapter completed!
