End of the World, Rebirth as a Queen
Chapter 56 Encounter 2
He took a log and fixed the ridge of the roof, set up the keel, and then laid a layer of wooden planks about ten centimeters thick. Now that time seemed to be running out, Lu Zhu still used long nails to fix it.
But when it came to the last few pieces, Lu Zhu was in trouble. The place where she stood before was considered the ceiling, but now it was at the very edge. She had no place to stand and could not finish.
There was no other way, Lu Zhu had to make some scaffolding himself, otherwise it would be difficult to finish them.
It took Lu Zhu more than an hour to finally install the shelves around the house. Lu Zhu then easily climbed up the simple stairs to her roof, which was almost four meters high.
After binding the last few square timbers, Lu Zhu had to consider the waterproofing problem. There was waterproof cloth in the space, so Lu Zhu measured the size without thinking too much, and reserved some space for the eaves, so he cut a piece of waterproof cloth in the space, covered it on the square timber, and hammered it again.
Lu Zhu thought that this house would probably be lived in for a long time, so he had to do a good job of keeping it warm and cold-proof. He added three more keels and covered it with another layer of wooden boards. Lu Zhu did not leave the empty space in the middle empty, but laid two or three wooden boards and sprayed foam glue on the gap.
Because the house itself was not big, the roof was capped again after a while. Lu Zhu had no tiles, so he had to figure out how to solve the tile problem by himself.
After a while, Lu Zhu came up with a simple idea. He covered it with another layer of waterproof cloth and fixed it around. Just because he didn't have the materials now didn't mean he wouldn't have them in the future.
The roof is so thick now. If it had tiles, it could be done in one go. But why is the roof built like this? Because the weather in the end times is unpredictable. It’s okay if it’s high temperature, but if there’s acid rain, this roof will really not be good enough.
The roof has been preliminarily completed, and Lu Zhu is now going to start the interior decoration.
Previously, it was a wall stacked up on all four sides, in a slightly longer tic-tac-toe shape. Lu Zhu found the position of the doors and windows he wanted to open, outlined the size of the door with a pen, and then he could take out the electric saw directly.
Simply and roughly cut along the drawn position of the door, and in a short while, the outline of a door was completed.
Because of the weight and the slots on both ends of the logs, the house is still very sturdy even if a door is cut.
Following the same method, Lu Zhu quickly cut out the windows of the living room and the bedroom.
There was no partition wall in the middle, so Lu Zhu found a slightly smaller square wood to separate the living room and bedroom. He used the sandwich method.
First, erect two pillars on each side, then fix the square wood horizontally on the pillars, and add it all the way to the ceiling. Half of the wall is done, and then add a square wood to the position of the pillars at both ends and fix the other square wood horizontally as before. In this way, there is a space in the middle, fill it with sound insulation cotton, which can keep warm and isolate some noise.
After some detailed processing, the general appearance of the doors and windows is completed.
It was completely dark. It was not until Lu Zhu stopped to rest that he realized that Xuan Guang had not been seen all day. Where did he go to play?
Lu Zhu had been busy all day and was extremely tired. He found a piece of vacant space, released the house in the space, went in to rest, and took out a bowl of curry beef rice from the space.
After calming her stomach, Lu Zhu felt less tired than before. Building a house is not easy! According to today's progress, she has only finished half of it and has only made a frame.
After closing the door, Lu Zhu entered the space and soaked in the spiritual spring to wash off the sweat. Then she lay comfortably on the bed and fell asleep soon.
The next day, Lu Zhu got up early.
In the morning light, I simply measured the size of the new house. The entire interior area of the house is about 40 square meters, which is large enough.
There is a 50-centimeter-long eaves under the eaves at the entrance. Lu Zhu plans to build a place to store firewood here and behind the house for easy access.
Today I'm going to paint the whole house, one is to prevent insects, the other is to prevent corrosion. Lu Zhu chose peeled logs at the beginning, so now it saves a lot of effort. The paint needs to be applied at least three times. I took a look at the paint guide and usage instructions.
It seems that it will take two or three days just to paint, and since many places cannot be reached by painting, Lu Zhu put the new house into the space. No matter how heavy the objects in the space are, they are under her control.
So she used her mind to tinker with the new house in space and applied a layer of protective paint on it.
Originally, Lu Zhu didn't want to do it. In fact, logs are also very good, but the end of the world is just around the corner. If he doesn't do it now while he has time, he may not have the supplies later, not to mention the time to build the house.
After applying the protective paint, Lu Zhu walked around the sawmill. The large machines were damaged by the water and many things were washed into a mess.
Looking at the wood that had not been washed away, Lu Zhu smiled. These remaining woods were all good stuff! They were dense and heavy.
During this time, she also saw the sunken wood, a wonderful thing that took millions of years to form!
Ordinary people can only watch, but she is different. As long as she wants, her little hands can touch anything that has been touched, including those rusty machines.
But her being useless doesn't mean the base and other people don't need any. They can still get useful things out of them by dismantling the parts. It's definitely worthwhile to exchange them for information and supplies.
After collecting all the things from the sawmill, Lu Zhu felt that the paint on the new house in the space was almost dry.
So I put it out to dry and then applied a second coat of paint the next day.
She wanted to list the subsequent procedures for building the house, installing the floor, installing doors and windows, arranging the location of the kitchen utensils, and how to facilitate heating.
Let me talk about two sides.
Mu Nanchen and his team were almost unable to hold on. They turned the entire town upside down but couldn't find any supplies.
"Boss, what should we do? We can't go on like this. With our current supplies, we can't reach the base," Luo Chenyang said weakly. He hadn't had a sip of water for two days.
Several other people also showed signs of heat stroke.
"Brother Chen Hua, let me go around and see if there are any herbs that can be used!" Mu Nanchen's lips were pale and cracked from dryness.
The leading man was not in a good condition today compared to yesterday. He was silent for a long time, and finally nodded. The beard on his face seemed to have grown a lot longer, and his lips were very dry.
"Be careful on the road. It's okay if you can't find it. Don't feel burdened or stressed." Every word Chen Hua said was full of concern.
Mu Nanchen knew the current situation of the entire team. They couldn't hold out for long. They had no water, no food, and their immunity was very low.
Although some of them are people with special abilities, they are only slightly stronger than normal people. If they get sick and don't get treated, they will still die.
Seeing that Chen Hua agreed, Mu Nanchen forced a smile, but the cut on his lip started bleeding. He could only bear it for the time being.
Mu Nanchen did not take the same path as before, but instead changed direction and walked towards the edge of the town.
He had already looked around the town yesterday, so if he wanted to find herbs, it would be more convenient to go outside. Besides food, medicine was scarce.
His symptoms of heat stroke and dizziness still did not ease, but for the sake of his teammates, he had to come out, because no one knew medicine better than him, and if he didn't come out, their team wouldn't last three days. Instead of doing this, it would be better to come out and try your luck, what if you're lucky!
Under the scorching sun, he felt that the road had become twisted...
