Many children, many blessings: Taking classmates' grandmothers on a desert island survival miss
Chapter 8: Teamwork Makes the Work Easier
The originally gloomy sky suddenly changed dramatically.
The rolling dark clouds spread rapidly across the sky like ink, making the already gloomy forest even more oppressive.
A fierce wind swept through without warning, making the towering trees around rustle and their huge canopies sway wildly in the wind, as if they might break at any moment.
The humidity in the air spiked instantly, creating a stuffy and oppressive atmosphere—a harbinger of an impending downpour.
"It's going to rain heavily!"
"Ouch, this wind is so strong it hurts my bones."
"If we get caught in the rain, these old bones of ours will surely perish here."
Sensing the change in weather, the grandmothers panicked once again.
They were already frail and sickly. If they were to get soaked by a downpour in this unknown, desolate island forest, they could catch a cold or pneumonia, which would be fatal in the absence of any medical care.
Jiang Che looked up at the dark sky, his heart filled with anxiety.
He looked at the nineteen grandmothers who were still very old; some of them were coughing, and some were huddled together, clutching their clothes tightly.
He knew very well that the elderly women's bodies would definitely not be able to withstand the rain that followed.
We must find shelter from the wind and rain immediately!
Jiang Che immediately thought of the rewards in the newbie gift pack.
With a thought, a drawing emitting a faint white light appeared in his hand.
[Basic Safe House Blueprint: After use, it can be used to build a wooden and stone structure safe house with a floor area of 50 square meters.]
Materials needed: 100 wood, 50 stones.
[Currently possessing: 0 wood, 0 stone.]
Jiang Che frowned as he looked at the resource requirements shown on the blueprints.
One hundred pieces of wood and fifty pieces of stone may not sound like much, but in this forest, gathering these supplies before the downpour is an incredibly demanding task.
If he were to cut down trees and move stones by himself, he would probably be exhausted and still not be able to keep up with the changing weather.
And the grandmothers...
Jiang Che turned his head and glanced at it.
Some of them could barely walk steadily, yet they were asked to cut down trees and move stones?
That's obviously unrealistic.
They are not only unable to do these heavy jobs, but they may even get injured in the process.
Just as Jiang Che was about to bite the bullet and take the plunge himself, a fair hand gently patted his arm.
Jiang Che turned his head and saw Liu Wenying, who had returned to her peak eighteen-year-old self.
At this moment, Liu Wenying's eyes no longer held the cloudiness and slowness of old age; instead, they possessed a sharp and heroic spirit.
She looked at the blueprints in Jiang Che's hand, then glanced at the sky, and said decisively, "Xiao Jiang, don't just stand there. I'll do this job with you."
She noticed Jiang Che's predicament and took the initiative to take on the task.
"Grandma Liu, you..."
Jiang Che was about to say something.
Liu Wenying chuckled, stretched her slender wrists, and felt the surging S-rank combat power within her. She confidently stated, "I'm not that old woman who can barely walk anymore. I have S-rank combat talent, and my physical abilities are stronger than yours. Chopping trees is the most suitable physical task for me."
Jiang Che looked at her serious expression and nodded, "Okay, then let's divide the work. You'll be in charge of acquiring resources, and I'll be in charge of transporting and building!"
Time was of the essence, so the two didn't waste any more words.
Jiang Che turned to the other elderly women and called out, "Grandmas, find some big, leafy trees to shelter from the wind. Grandma Liu and I will go get the wood, and we'll be able to build the house soon!"
Although the elderly women were worried, they knew they couldn't help, so they could only tell the two to be careful and then help each other retreat deeper into the woods.
After the tasks were assigned, Liu Wenying took a deep breath and fixed her gaze on the nearest ancient tree, which was about the size of a washbasin.
She took a few quick strides and rushed to the tree.
What happened next left Jiang Che, who was standing not far away, completely dumbfounded.
Liu Wenying had no weapons. She simply lowered her waist, clenched her fists, and her originally slender arms became extremely firm with muscle lines the moment she exerted force.
"drink!"
With a soft shout, Liu Wenying slammed her fist heavily into the tree trunk!
"Snap—!"
A sharp cracking sound rang out.
The giant tree that required an adult to encircle was snapped in half like a fragile sapling by Liu Wenying's punch!
The massive canopy collapsed with a crash, scattering dust and fallen leaves everywhere.
[Received 5 pieces of wood!]
A system notification streaked across the air.
Jiang Che's eyes widened, and he subconsciously swallowed.
He knew Liu Wenying had become younger and that her S-level combat talent was strong, but he didn't expect it to be this strong.
The power of this punch has probably surpassed the limits of human capability.
Is this the terrifying physical ability brought about by S-class talent?
No wonder he was able to kill that gray wolf instantly.
"Stop spacing out, put it away quickly!"
Liu Wenying turned her head, shouted at Jiang Che, and then rushed towards the next tree without stopping.
"They're here!"
Jiang Che reacted quickly; he rushed to the fallen giant tree and placed his hand on the trunk.
"receive!"
With a thought, the enormous tree trunk vanished instantly, absorbed into his infinitely large dimensional space.
[Wood +5.]
With Liu Wenying, the efficient "logging machine," and Jiang Che, the "mobile warehouse" porter, the speed of resource collection reached an unbelievable level.
Liu Wenying moved through the forest, and with each punch she threw, a giant tree fell.
"Bang!"
Another one.
"Bang!"
One more.
Having regained her peak physical strength at eighteen, Liu Wenying's movements were light and explosive.
Not only are her fists strong, but her leg strength is also astonishing.
When she encounters a slightly thinner tree, she can simply sweep her leg across the ground and kick it in half.
Jiang Che followed closely behind her, frantically moving the supplies on the ground using the [Dimensional Space] function.
[20 wood... 50 wood... 80 wood...]
The collection of timber went very smoothly.
"Xiao Jiang, there's a pile of rocks over there, I'll go get some!" Liu Wenying shouted.
She pointed to a slope not far away, where a large number of granite blocks were scattered.
Liu Wenying rushed over, grabbed a boulder weighing several hundred kilograms with one hand as easily as if it were a piece of foam board, and threw it directly towards Jiang Che.
Jiang Che did not dare to show weakness either, and put the stone into his space the moment it hit the ground.
[Stone +10...Stone x30...]
At this moment, the sky turned completely dark, and the strong wind made it almost impossible to open one's eyes.
A huge purple flash streaked across the sky, followed by a deafening roar of thunder.
"Boom—!"
Large raindrops began to occasionally fall from the sky.
"Hurry! Almost there!" Jiang Che shouted.
Liu Wenying accelerated again, her figure almost leaving a blur in the dim forest. Her S-level combat instincts allowed her to make the most of every movement while gathering resources.
at last.
[Resources collected: Wood 100/100, Stone 50/50.]
"Everyone's here! Grandma Liu, come back quickly!"
Jiang Che roared excitedly.
At this moment, the rain suddenly intensified, turning from occasional raindrops into fine drizzle, and it looked like a downpour was about to begin.
Liu Wenying ran back quickly and stood beside Jiang Che.
Jiang Che immediately selected a relatively flat open space and slammed the [Basic Safe House Blueprint] hard onto the ground.
"put up!"
With Jiang Che's command.
All the wood and stones in the dimensional space poured out instantly.
Guided by a mysterious system force, these supplies flew and combined in the air.
The stones were quickly laid to form a solid foundation.
The sturdy timber is automatically peeled, cut, and interlocked, transforming into load-bearing pillars and thick wall panels.
In just a few dozen seconds, a simple but exceptionally sturdy wooden and stone house rose from the ground.
The thick roof was closed at the last minute.
"boom!"
The moment the safe house was completed, the long-accumulated torrential rain finally broke out, pouring down like a dam bursting!
The rushing sound of water instantly engulfed the entire forest.
"Grandmas! Come in quickly!" Jiang Che stood at the door, waving and shouting frantically.
Upon seeing this, the elderly women who were hiding under the trees quickly braved the wind and rain and, with the help of Jiang Che and Liu Wenying, darted into the safe house.
As the last elderly woman stepped across the threshold, Jiang Che slammed the heavy wooden door shut.
"Thump!"
The wooden door closed, shutting out all the sounds of wind and rain.
Inside the room, Jiang Che and Liu Wenying leaned against the door, panting heavily.
Although both of them got a little wet from the rain and their clothes were damp, they looked at the grandmothers huddled together inside, still shaken but unharmed, and smiled at each other.
Just a second before the raindrops fell, the two of them, working at the last possible moment, successfully built the first shelter on the deserted island.
