Natural disaster at the beginning: I will lead the system to build a safe zone

Fortunately, in addition to the main line of the apocalypse, there has been new progress in the infrastructure line tasks.

Their Guangming Village is already a high-end village!

The protective shield also expanded outwards simultaneously. Shi Anan checked the map and found that it had covered the place where they had discovered the salt mine before. This was very good. This way, their safety would be guaranteed on their way to mine.

However, due to the recent hot weather and the glaring sunlight, the expansion of the protective shield did not cause such a sensation this time, otherwise these people who had just come in would probably have fallen to their knees again.

In addition, the latest infrastructure line mission has also been updated. This time it will be upgraded to a small town. However, with the current area of ​​Guangming Village, it is completely insufficient to accommodate so many people, so the system asked Shi Anan to explore a larger space for development.

Fortunately, Shi Anan had thought about it before. What if more and more people come to Guangming Village and there is no room for them?

Before, she was more interested in the flat terrain at the back of the mountain. Now the meteorite has directly created a sinkhole in the back of the mountain, saving her the trouble of repairing the mountain road. As long as the road is leveled, she can walk on it. Isn’t this a place chosen by God!

Anyway, they have cement, a magical tool for building roads, and there are minerals over there. Building a good road will also help them transport the minerals.

Not only that, Shi Ananke had not forgotten that across the lake was Qinghe County. If the area was well developed, they could go to the county by boat, which would be much faster than taking the official road from Changping Town!

This upgrade task has added new requirements, not only the number of people, but also the skill level. It is possible that future upgrades will be based on the skill level.

It was not very difficult to upgrade to level 20 this time. July and August are the harvest seasons. After harvesting grains and watermelons in the fields, they all jumped to level 18 in one fell swoop, and were rewarded with many high-yield and high-quality varieties. After the second wave of planting, it will be more than enough to feed the people in Guangming Village, and the level is estimated to be 20.

The medical upgrade progress jumped forward a lot because of the addition of this group of refugees, and it was upgraded to level 17, which rewarded Shi Anan with the miraculous medicine for relieving heat that she urgently needed - Huoxiang Zhengqi Water!

Due to the recent increase in the number of people and Shi Anan's frequent making of ice drinks, cooking is about to reach level 18, which will reward a lot of ice cubes and save a lot of silver coins.

In order to earn money by leasing solar air conditioners, craftsmen including Xiao Yi and Hao Ren have been busy making them recently, and the manufacturing level has steadily reached level 17 and is about to reach level 18. However, the manufacturing upgrade reward was unexpected for her, it turned out to be a solar ice mist fan made in the same place as the air conditioner!

Wow, this is really high-tech! This ice mist fan can actually be used outdoors. The ice mist it sprays out is very cool and can cover a large area.

Shi Anan originally wanted to keep it for herself, but then she thought of the group of animals in the farm, and reluctantly gave the Ice Mist Fan to Mu Shan and Fu Xin. When Mu Shan heard that this thing could also provide cooling like an air conditioner, he hurriedly took it and planned to lead the horses in the training ground into the farm as well.

Forget it, forget it. Those are all meats in the farm. Only if they are healthy can her stomach be healthy. It’s just an ice mist fan!

The system's main quest calculates skill levels based on the current lowest skill level, so the current progress is 17/20, which is not far away. She is also looking forward to what the reward will be at level 20.

But it was not an easy task for her to handle this number of people. She had looked around and didn't know where she could get more than a thousand people. Besides, with the current strength of Guangming Village, it was probably unable to accommodate so many people at once.

Alas, there is still a long way to go and we must seize the time to develop!

However, there is no rush for this development. The weather is so hot right now, and she can't ask everyone to build roads and houses under the scorching sun. She still has a task to complete, and she can't afford to reduce the staff any more!

Shi Anan took one last look at her information panel, then turned it off to check the weather. The temperature would rise to 48 degrees Celsius in two days, and would remain at that high temperature for the next two days.

Just by looking at the weather forecast, Shi Anan felt like she was about to faint from the heat. She began to worry again, just like she did during the previous extreme cold period. She didn't know if it was just Lingnan or the whole continent. If it was so hot, could humans still survive?

Although in modern times, the temperature in some foreign cities can reach over 50 degrees Celsius, the places where people live are basically likely to reach such high temperatures every year. The body has automatically adapted to it a lot, and with modern technology there are many cooling technologies, unlike in ancient times when it was difficult to even make a block of ice.

Therefore, a high temperature of 48 degrees Celsius was already fatal to people of this dynasty.

Fortunately, the temperature did not continue to rise in the next two days. I don’t know if 48 degrees Celsius is the ceiling. Please don’t continue to rise, Shi Anan prayed in her heart.

-

After taking in the refugees, Guangming Village returned to peace and dozens of new residents came to the village. The ice that had been stored in Guangming Village was consumed even faster.

Fortunately, the system rewarded her with extra silver coins after upgrading to an advanced village, which restored her scarce silver coins to a safe level. In addition to the silver coins she had earned before, she still had some silver coins on her, so it was okay to spend some to replenish the ice.

For every villager, the days in Guangming Village were as enjoyable as being in a paradise. But in sharp contrast to them were the people of Qinghe County, whom An An had always wanted to see.

For Qinghe County, these continuous natural disasters have caused them to suffer great losses, and many county residents have died.

But a county is still a county after all, and its ability to resist risks is much better than that of a town. Moreover, the place where the meteorite shower was most concentrated was Changping Town, which is the farthest town from the county (in terms of official roads). Therefore, although many houses in the county were destroyed, people evacuated in time and the casualties were still under control.

What's more, their county magistrate is still alive!

Although their county magistrate is not an upright official who devotes his life to the people, and is even somewhat selfish, it is precisely because of his selfishness that the people in the county can still live in a stable place after experiencing so many disasters.

After discovering the frequent disasters, the county magistrate immediately closed the gates of the county town and cut off contact with the people in other towns. Naturally, food would no longer be provided to the town.

Don't think that the fact that he only cares about the county and ignores the town is because he is afraid of death. He is afraid that too many refugees will flood into the county, and the county will not have enough food to feed these people, and there will definitely be chaos at that time.

Instead of doing this, it would be better not to let these people in from the beginning. The people in their county could live a better life. His almost ruthless approach did bring some benefits to the people in the county.

But the people in other towns can only hope for the best. Some who are lucky enough are not seriously affected by the disaster and can barely be self-sufficient. However, those who are seriously affected like Changping Town, or whose granaries have been burned, can only consider themselves unlucky and fend for themselves.
