I build a shelter in the eternal night.

Chapter 29 The Miniature House, Pretty Good.

"Good."

Chen Fan didn't say anything, but handed the parchment to Zhou Mo: "It's good to record this. If we can survive the rainy season, this will be the best medal to prove our resilience. How did you sleep last night?"

After the danger was mostly over in the latter half of last night.

He then had Zhou Mo and Qi Chong, along with their respective men, go inside to sleep, all in preparation for their operation the following day.

"I slept very well and am now full of energy, ready to carry out the mission at any time."

"it is good."

Chen Fan took out the strange leather map from his pocket, pointed to several marks on the map, and instructed: "Last night, almost all the stations in the wasteland were wiped out, with none surviving. Only two stations survived last night."

"Our station is No. 37 Chenjia Station in Jiangbei."

"The other station is 9 kilometers away from us as the crow flies."

"Your mission today is to take your people to this station, bring back portable resources, and then bring the people from this station to our station."

"They were lucky to survive last night, but luck can't protect them forever during the rainy season."

"We need to stick together and support each other; every additional person adds to our strength."

"clear."

Zhou Mo nodded emphatically in agreement, took out his ghostly map from his pocket, and looked at the lucky station. If he remembered correctly, this station seemed to be the 16th station of the Qiuhe Wang family.

He had met the site's administrator a few times, but they didn't have much interaction.

"Traveling in heavy rain is inconvenient. Taking care of yourself is the top priority. If you encounter any uncontrollable situation, abandon the mission immediately and return to camp."

After giving a word of advice, Chen Fan looked at Qi Chong, who had been startled awake and was quickly getting dressed.

Qi Chong.

He stood up and looked at Qi Chong, saying seriously, "Your mission is to go to these nearby stations that were destroyed last night and bring back usable supplies. There's no specific task; just go to as many stations as you think you can."

"But remember to keep turning the hourglass over."

"When the hourglass has turned eight times, return to camp immediately, no matter where you are."

"Yes!" Qi Chong hurriedly dressed, opened his sleepy eyes, and shouted.

The most fatal thing in the rainy season in the wilderness is the inability to obtain a sense of time through celestial phenomena.

Continuous heavy rain.

If they fail to return to camp within the allotted time, only eternal night awaits them.

Hourglasses were a way for people in the wasteland to tell time.

The hourglass running out of time means half an hour has passed. After eight consecutive reversals, there are less than two hours left until nightfall, at which point you must immediately return to the camp.

One section of the city wall slowly receded into the ground.

After eating a few bites of dry rations, Zhou Mo and Qi Chong, holding the strange leather map, led their men out of the camp into the pouring rain, their footprints gradually disappearing into the mist.

In the wilderness.

No station had raincoats or hats for protection against rain.

after all
In this wasteland, rainfall only occurs during the rainy season; it's completely useless during other times.
"Go to sleep once you're done here."

Chen Fan looked at Wang Kui and the others who were dissecting the corpse of the monster on the wasteland outside the city, called out to them, and then walked towards the lame monkey who was carefully straightening the seedlings by the farmland. Last night, the monster tide of flesh worms swept across the farmland.

The damage caused was not insignificant.

"Master."

The lame monkey said with some heartache, "Seven of the seventeen monkey head mushroom seedlings were trampled to death, and four of the twelve seedlings from the strange stone vein were trampled to death."

“It’s a big loss.”

"It's alright, much better than expected."

Chen Fan said with emotion, "It's already quite good that so many have survived. Last night, I thought this whole farmland was going to be uprooted. Alright, you should go back to your room and rest now. I'll take a look around and then go to sleep."

"Young master, do you remember when I found a seed in the wooden house and planted it in the farmland?"

"Of course I remember. What, it's sprouted?"

"It just sprouted!"

The lame monkey pointed excitedly to a few flower buds, no bigger than sesame seeds, that had just sprouted from the soil in the corner of the farmland: "They're flowers. Judging by this progress, they'll bloom soon."

"Oh?"

Chen Fan squatted down beside the farmland with some surprise, looking at the few brown flower buds on the new grass in the corner of the farmland. He had thought they were some kind of moldy wheat seeds, but he did not expect them to be flower seeds, and they had actually grown.

That's some impressive vitality!
It's important to know that the "monkey head mushroom" and "mysterious stone vein" seeds were able to successfully sprout because they were special seeds dropped by strange creatures. Ordinary crops would have a very difficult time surviving in such torrential rain.

"okay."

Chen Fan chuckled and patted the lame monkey on the shoulder: "Go back inside, eat something, and get some sleep. You still have work to do when you wake up this afternoon."

"As you wish, young master."

Clutching the God-Slaying Spear in his arms, the lame monkey made no further excuses and walked toward the wooden house inside the city wall.

at this time.

Wang Kui and his group had already dissected all the strange corpses outside the city wall, finding a total of 41 strange stones, no rare treasures, and a considerable amount of strange materials.

He left the body outside the city wall for the time being until they woke up, and told the others to go back to their rooms and sleep.

He started taking inventory of the camp's assets all by himself.

He originally had 4 strange stones in his arms, plus the 484 strange stones dropped by the flesh worm, and these 41 strange stones, for a total of 529 strange stones. There was also a used strange stone, the one that he had initially taken from the arrow tower, which he put back into the recess of the arrow tower after dawn.

"529 strange stones."

Chen Fan stood beside the farmland, facing the heavy rain and gazing at the endless overcast sky in the distance. After a moment of dazed expression, he suddenly chuckled.

God is fair.

While it presents you with a crisis, it also brings you opportunities.

If it weren't for the worm-infested tide last night, it would have taken him a long time to collect those 529 strange stones.

An ordinary stationmaster's monthly salary is only 10 Mysterious Stones.

This is equivalent to nearly five years' worth of income for a website owner.

This is roughly equivalent to one-third of Wang Kui's total income over the past 13 years in the Wang family.

He then regained his composure and looked down at the three strange treasures in his hand, all of which he had dropped the previous night. He wasn't in a hurry to use them; he would wait until he woke up. He had been on edge all night and his mind was still a little hazy.

Decisions made under such circumstances are often not very appropriate.

Wait until you wake up.

Just as he was about to turn back to the wooden house, he caught a glimpse of the flower bud swaying slightly in the heavy rain. After hesitating for a while, he picked up a few suitable broken planks from beside the wooden house inside the city wall, walked to the farmland, and built a simple little wooden house for the flower bud.

It's about the size of a palm.

Miniature house.

Good.

Chen Fan got up with satisfaction, walked back to the wooden house, took off his soaked hemp clothes, glanced at the lame monkey who was already asleep with the spear in his arms, smiled and lay down on the bed next to him, and gradually fell asleep as well.

Another night has passed.

The rainy season has its advantages; at least it can keep him away from a lot of troublesome people and give him enough time to develop.

such as
After daybreak, upon learning that the Chenjia No. 37 station in Jiangbei was still holding firm, things must have been quite lively in the Chenjia area of ​​Jiangbei City.

The fact that those who deserve to die don't die always makes some people feel uneasy.
