Live in Doomsday Wasteland

Chapter 24 Plan ahead
The choice of shelter usually varies from time to time and from place to place.

But most of the time, what stands out is how convenient and labor-saving it is.

…………

Chen Qi walked to the high bank of the river that was eroded by the flood. The plants and trees here were completely different from those domestic greenhouse flowers.

The trunk and the ground are inclined at an angle of [-] degrees, and half of the roots are completely exposed to the air. It was obviously washed down from the upstream, and it was blocked by branches and vines here, and the water receded and took root again...

The tenacity of life in nature can be seen from this.

Unfortunately, they met Chen Qi.

"Tree rattan is the best natural rope in the wild, and its toughness and softness can completely replace our industrially produced rope.

It's just that we can't directly use these vines as binding and fixing materials, they still need to be processed. "

After some effort, Chen Qi detached several vines from different trees, and dragged them to his "workbench", which is where he just ate.

Cut open the skin of the vine with a stone knife, and then tear off sections of the vine bark after circumcision.

This scene was very familiar to the fans in the live broadcast room.

……

"The anchor must have killed snakes professionally before"

"This circumcision method, this T-shaped knife edge..."

"Anchor! This is not a snake, you can't eat it!"

……

Chen Qi has been concentrating on making his own rope, while not forgetting to explain.

"When choosing vines, try to choose those annual vines with smoother skins that have not yet become old vines, so that the bark can be peeled faster and it is easier to peel off the bark of longer vines."

As he said that, Chen Qi made a bundle of the three rattan skins that he had torn into strips, aligned the tops and tied them with shorter rattan strips, and wound them one by one like a braid, and from time to time they were still in a certain place. When the length of the cane is not enough, wrap another one in it.

……

"It's a pity that this craft doesn't go to the handicraft area"

"If you don't understand, just ask, is this going to weave baskets to catch fish?"

"Wake up the dreamer with one word!"

"Although your guess is in line with my preferences, didn't the host say it himself?"

"The green one...is made of straw hats!"

"Brother in front, this look is not fun!"

"This is obviously twisted into a rope to tie things."

"Ah~~ rope art..."

"You're wrong!"

"Sorry, please come with us→_→"

…………

Although Chen Qi's speed of twisting the rope looked fast, he would use these things soon, so he paid more attention to checking and strengthening them, which took a lot of time.

By the time Chen Qi raised his head and moved his neck, which had been immobile for a long time, and grinned and rubbed his fingers, more than an hour had passed.

The pile of green ropes placed next to Chen Qi's legs is the result of more than an hour of work.

Although fans know that he is rubbing the ropes, they are not very clear about the purpose of these ropes.

Do I need rope to build a shelter?

It was useless yesterday!

At this time, Chen Qi had already dragged his ropes and ran to the bank of the high soil just now.

……

"Look, these trees, because of the topography here and the erosion of the flood below, have grown at a horizontal angle.

The branches also grow into a torus-like shape.Isn't this shape very suitable for making a bed frame~"

Fans followed the camera in the live broadcast room and saw that just as Chen Qi said, the trees here were like "flower hands" stretching diagonally from the slope of the high bank to the top of the river.

Moreover, there is a height of about two meters away from the river.

The shape of this tree is really suitable for putting on boards and making a natural bed frame.

However, is this necessary?
……

"Didn't the anchor say that we should try our best to save energy?"

"The shelter you mentioned doesn't sound like a small project."

"Wouldn't this fall off in the middle of the night and fall onto a stone while falling asleep..."

"Two meters..."

"Stone..."

"It hurts..."

"The anchor still gets two leaves and builds a tripod to make it interesting."

…………

Chen Qi didn't speak, just looked up at the sky, and then ran to the river, speared two smaller fish with a stick, tied them up with a rope, and hung them on the branches of a tree.

After that, Chen Qi kept looking for dry branches of suitable length in the woods.

He didn't have a knife, otherwise he could cut off some branches he liked and use them. It was still a little difficult to do these things with a stone knife.

If there was enough time, it would be possible, but now Chen Qi really doesn't have the time.

……

Chen Qi spread the picked long branches on the slanted tree trunks continuously, tied them with rattan ropes, and spread a layer of leaves, repeating this work all the time.

And during the busy time, Chen Qi never forgot to look up at the sky occasionally.

This action of his gradually attracted discussions among fans.

……

"Anchor, this is... an eagle in the sky?"

"I don't even want to scold you, it's obviously going to rain!"

"The explanation of the rain is reasonable, but do you still want to live by the river when it rains?"

"How did the anchor deduce that it's going to rain?"

"I am more concerned about this"

"I am more concerned about how the anchor will hide from the rain"

"The rain in the forest usually brings many chain reactions, such as mudslides"

"No wonder the anchor is not worried about bears, it turns out it's going to rain"

…………

The barrage of comments guessed Chen Qi's actions, and Chen Qi stopped pretending to be mysterious.

The effect of the program was achieved. After Chen Qi made the "bed", he stepped on it and took two steps. Although there was a certain inclination, he could spread more branches and leaves on the short side, which had little effect.

"Everyone's guess is correct, it's really going to rain here."

While standing, Chen Qi gathered the willow branches above his head and twisted them together to form a "dome". Connected like a spider web.

The amount of rattan rope used obviously exceeded Chen Qi's expectations, which was considered one of the mistakes, but the bed board has been completed, and the remaining "dome" as long as it can not leak, the willow strips are completely enough.

Busily tying branches to the dome, Chen Qi still did not forget to explain to the fans: "When I was cooking just now, I don't know if any fans noticed.

The smoke from the stove never rose, it was more like being blown by the wind, being pressed to the ground and drifting away.

This means that there is a cold air mass moving in the seemingly clear sky, which is usually a harbinger of rain.

Clouds too, that's why I looked up just now, look.

This banded cloud formation is an obvious weather phenomenon before it rains.I guess it will definitely rain tonight. "

Chen Qi tied another branch with force, and used a few slingshot-shaped small branches to fork a lot of big leaves on the outer layer, and then covered it with another layer of branches.

Soon, an ugly dome that looked like a poorly knitted sweater was completed.

There is air on all sides, a "bed" on the bottom, and a roof on the top. Chen Qi's special shelter was built like this.

At this time, the sky gradually darkened.

After extinguishing the fire in the center of the river and packing up his things, Chen Qi lay on his "bed", quietly waiting for the rainy night to come.
