Fairy Gourd Farm

Chapter 1830 Building a Shelter
Jason has been sailing at sea all year round, and he is also an experienced captain. He used to be very indifferent even when facing life and death. This is the first time Zhao Lei heard his solemn tone, and he immediately understood that the situation this time must be very bad.

So Zhao Lei didn't hesitate at all, and quickly asked Jason: "Is it very dangerous?"

"It's very dangerous." Jason told Zhao Lei: "The path of the typhoon this time is very strange. Not to mention the sudden change of direction, the speed of the advance is also frighteningly fast. It is estimated that when the Xianhu arrives at your place, the The wind force will be at least level [-], you must leave immediately after picking you and Elisa on board, if you are lucky... maybe you can avoid the level [-] wind circle near the center of the typhoon."

Zhao Lei was secretly surprised by these words.For him who has lived in the Jiangnan area since he was a child, typhoons are nothing new.The power of nature is amazing, typhoon is undoubtedly one of the representatives, even in the tenth wind circle, it is already very scary, let alone in the twelfth wind circle at the center of the typhoon, it is really possible to die human.

And Zhao Lei had only experienced the power of a typhoon on land before, but now he is on the open sea, not only the wind is so simple, but also the huge waves, the destructive power must be increased by several levels, no wonder Jason's tone would be so heavy.

In fact, Zhao Lei is very suspicious. Even if he can successfully board the Xianhu, it will be difficult to guarantee safety in the center of the typhoon, and the lives of the entire ship will be in danger.

Thinking of this, Zhao Lei didn't hesitate, and immediately said to Jason: "Change the course immediately, the farther away from the center of the typhoon the better, don't come to pick us up!"

He didn't expect Zhao Lei to say that at all, Jason was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly asked: "Then what should you do?"

Zhao Lei said in a deep voice: "Elisa and I are on the island, so they should be quite safe. You don't have to worry about us."

Jason hesitated, "But..."

"Stop it!" Zhao Lei immediately interrupted Jason's words: "This is my order, change the course immediately, the farther away from the center of the typhoon the better, and pick us up after the typhoon has passed!"

In fact, rationality also told Jason that this was indeed the best way to deal with it, but after all, it meant leaving the two people on the boat on a deserted island. Facing the raging typhoon, he was very hesitant.

Zhao Lei didn't think as much as Jason did, and said very firmly: "Do what you want, ensure your own safety first, and come pick us up when the typhoon comes over!"

Hearing Zhao Lei's firm attitude, Jason was also very moved, and nodded vigorously: "Okay, boss, you must be careful yourself!"

"Don't worry, I know it well!" Zhao Lei said to Jason very calmly: "Don't stay nearby, the farther you are from the center of the typhoon, the better!"

"Obey!" Jason whispered, and began to change the course of the fairy gourd.

Zhao Lei asked the captain to hand over the walkie-talkie to Gong Wenhui and Zeng Chunhua to tell them his decision.

After all, these two female bodyguards belonged to Zhao Lei. If they misunderstood that Jason changed course because he was afraid of death, they would definitely force him to pick up Zhao Lei and Elisa. Zhao Lei didn't want such a thing to happen.

After hearing Zhao Lei's decision, the two female bodyguards were taken aback. Gong Wenhui hurriedly said, "It's too dangerous for you to stay on the island. Let's pick you up first!"

"It's more dangerous that way." Zhao Lei told the two calmly: "Don't try to persuade me, I've already made up my mind. You should cooperate with Jason and come pick us up after the typhoon is over!"

Women are always more emotional. After knowing that Zhao Lei gave up his plan to board the ship for everyone's safety, Gong Wenhui and Zeng Chunhua's eyes were red, and they accepted his request with sobs.

In order to save electricity, Zhao Lei quickly turned off the walkie-talkie, ready to face the challenges of nature with Elisa.

At this time, the mixed-race girl also came, looked at the sun that was getting lower and lower and asked Zhao Lei: "Did Jason contact you just now, when will the fairy gourd number come to pick us up?"

Zhao Lei smiled slightly at Elisa and said, "Would you like to stay with me on this island for a few more days?"

The mixed-race girl said in surprise: "Really? Are you kidding me!?"

"Of course it's not a joke!" Zhao Lei told Elisa calmly: "There is a small problem, and the fairy gourd will not come to pick us up for a few days."

The mixed-race girl froze for a moment, then nodded slightly and said, "I see, it seems that we can only stay here for a few days."

Zhao Lei asked Elisa with a smile: "What, are you scared?"

The mixed-race girl smiled at Zhao Lei and said, "As long as I'm with you, I won't be afraid of him!"

"Haha, good!" Zhao Lei rubbed Elisa's head and said, "There may be strong wind and heavy rain in a while, let's go, I'll build a shelter first!"

Although there are no tools on the boat, there are quite a few in the gourd space.Zhao Lei directly shoveled out the dementor, and used his talisman to chop trees and trees, which was extremely easy.

Under the urging of the aura, the soul-destroying shovel easily slashed across the arm-thick coconut tree, and could cut down the tree in the blink of an eye.In just a short while, Zhao Lei had already cleared out an open space of tens of meters in the woods on the bank.

Elisa stared dumbfounded at Zhao Lei, whose work efficiency was higher than that of a bulldozer. After a while, she asked him in a low voice, "It's just to build a shelter. Why do you have to cut down so many trees?"

Zhao Lei explained patiently: "Jason said that the wind will be very strong soon, so he cut down these trees in advance to avoid the danger of being blown down by the wind."

Zhao Lei was talking, and his hands were not idle. He quickly repaired the felled trees into wooden stakes of the same length, inserted them into the soil one by one, and began to lay the foundation for the shelter.Seeing his relaxed appearance, as if the ground under his feet was not solid ground, but soft flower mud, it also stunned Elisa who was next to him.

Zhao Lei's work efficiency was very high, and it didn't take long for a solid shelter to take shape.

The three sides of the shelter are made of strong wooden piles, strong enough to withstand the violent typhoon.The roof is made of firmly tied tree branches, and then covered with a thick layer of palm leaves, which can prevent rainwater from seeping in to the greatest extent.

Inside the shelter, Zhao Lei deliberately built a simple but very strong wooden bed with wooden stakes and split tree trunks.This way he and Elisa could stay on the wooden bed almost half a meter above the ground without worrying about getting wet.

In addition to these, Zhao Lei also built a firepit with the rocks he found in the shelter, so he could safely light a bonfire in it without the need for the water flow on the ground to extinguish the bonfire.

In short, Zhao Lei built a shelter that was strong enough to keep out the wind and rain in just over an hour. This efficiency was much higher than that of Master Bei and Hungry Virtue, and it was enough to make him feel very proud!
