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

After being enlightened by Xiao Yi, Shi Anan made rapid progress in the process of making cement.

That day she once again went to check if the cement she had mixed a few days ago had solidified: "It's done! I finally did it! Hahahaha!"

Shi Anan ran home excitedly and asked everyone to go with her to see the cement she had made.

"Sister An, is this the cement you mentioned?" Although Liu and others knew that Shi Anan had been busy with something called cement recently, they didn't know what it was used for.

There is water and mud, so in the end it will still be mud.

It was not until today when they saw this gray, solidified, and very hard object that they realized that cement is not ordinary mud!

"This will be very stable when used to build city walls." As expected, Ruan came from a family of military generals. The first time he saw cement, he thought of city walls.

"Building a house is not a bad idea." Xiao Yi said lightly. Now there is no city wall for them to build.

Shi Anan nodded in agreement: "What you said can be achieved with cement, but I developed this for building houses and repairing roads."

"If we repair the road, there won't be so much mud on the ground in the future!" Fu Xin's eyes lit up.

"Heroes see the same thing."

After cement was developed, An An handed over the rest of the work to other people. The amount of cement needed to build houses and roads is not a small amount.

The system also gives very high monetary rewards for developing cement:

[Congratulations to the host for developing cement, reward: 1 automatic sewer construction technology, system currency +2000 silver coins]

Huh? Automatic sewer construction! Wow, this thing is more powerful than currency.

There is no doubt how important the construction of a city's sewer system is. If the drainage of the sewer is not done well, it will easily lead to urban flooding when it rains heavily. Originally, Shi Anan was still thinking about how to design the sewer pipes if he were to build a road.

Although she had some understanding of the theory, there were not so many tools and materials in ancient times, so it was not easy for her to build it.

-Waiter, does this automatic sewer construction refer to the current scope of Guangming Village, or will it be expanded in the future?

【It will expand as the protective shield expands. 】

That’s a relief now. Just click and use it quickly. From now on, she won’t have to worry about sewer problems anymore!

Just when An An was in a good mood and thinking about what to do next, she suddenly heard a scream from outside. An An's face turned grim and she quickly opened the door and rushed out.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Shi Anan rushed to Liu and looked left and right, thinking that she was injured.

When the others heard the noise they all ran out.

Liu found that she had alarmed so many people, and said a little embarrassedly: "I'm fine, I just saw hail falling from the sky again, and I forgot that we had a protective shield to block it."

It's hailing again?

Shi Anan frowned and looked up, and sure enough, she saw an egg-sized hailstone hitting the transparent protective cover and then bounced off.

Not only that, this time the hail, like last time, was growing larger and larger at a speed visible to the naked eye!

"Mom, I'm going to go out for a while. Don't leave the protective shield." Shi Anan ran to the village chief in a hurry. She had to ask how many people who went out mining had not returned yet.

"Village chief!" Shi Anan ran a little out of breath.

"Hey, Miss Shi, why are you running in such a hurry?" The village chief heard the noise and came out of the house.

"It's hailing again. Have our mining team members gone out?" It would be difficult for them to hide from such heavy hail if they were outside.

"What? It's hailing again?" The village chief looked up quickly. Because of the protective cover, if he didn't pay attention, he really wouldn't be able to notice that it was hailing outside.

"Oh no, the five people including Tie Niu who went to dig iron ore just left this morning, but the others have come back." The village chief slapped his thigh and said anxiously.

Shi Anan became worried when she heard this. The members of the mining team were all the core young and middle-aged people in the village, and they were also the ones with relatively good qualities. The loss of any one of them would be a price that Guangming Village could not afford.

"Ms. Shi, what should we do? If something happens to them, how can I explain to their families?" The village chief was anxious and at a loss.

Shi Anan pondered for a while and comforted him, "Don't panic yet. They just left this morning and may not have gone too far. The hailstones that just fell are not that big. If they can run back in time, they may be able to avoid this disaster."

"Let's go to the village entrance and take a look." Shi Anan turned around and walked towards the village entrance, hoping that the five people would react quickly enough.

In fact, Tie Niu and his five companions on the road were indeed in a state of confusion. With their speed, although they had just left Guangming Village in the morning, they had actually walked quite a distance. Even if they hurried back, it would take them more than a quarter of an hour to run.

As for them, they had stayed in the protective shield the entire time when it hailed last time, so they didn't have much idea how big the hail would get. After all, the one that just fell was only as big as a small stone.

Regarding such hail, two people in their team said that they could continue to move forward, and maybe it would stop after a while.

But Tie Niu felt that something was not right. The hailstones that fell down were indeed not big at first, but during the time they were struggling, the falling hailstones had become the size of eggs.

Tie Niu simply said, "Go back!"

Then he turned around and ran back quickly.

The other four people looked at his back in dumbfounded. They were discussing it right now, so why did you just run away?

There was no way. Tie Niu was a backbone of their team. When they saw Tie Niu running away, they quickly chased after him.

"Tie Niu! Run slower. Is there a ghost chasing you?" one of the men said breathlessly.

"Run faster, the hail is getting bigger!" Tie Niu roared and increased his speed.

"Hey! Wait a minute!" In order to catch up with Tie Niu, the four people following behind gradually lost the strength to speak.

While running, several people also found that the hail was getting bigger and bigger!

Without waiting for Tie Niu to say anything, the four of them began to run forward with all their might. The hands that were protecting their heads were hit by the hail and made loud noises, but no one dared to put their hands down.

Fortunately, Tie Niu reacted quickly enough and ran back when the hail was still the size of stones. However, their running speed still could not keep up with the speed at which the hail grew. In just a quarter of an hour, the hail had turned into huge pieces larger than a basketball.

"Ah!" Zhang Cheng, one of the four, looked up and saw a huge piece of ice falling towards him. He dodged it in a hurry, but was still a beat too slow, causing his shoulder to be broken with a bang. The hand that was protecting his head also fell down weakly.

"Be careful!" Tie Niu roared. He violently knocked away a man named Zhao Shu, but heard a crisp sound of his bones crackling.

Shi Anan and the village chief were waiting anxiously at the entrance of the village. Originally, the village chief wanted to send someone to look for them, but given the current situation, if he sent other people out to look for them, more people would get hurt.

The relatives of the five members of the mining team also came to the village entrance, kneeling on the ground and praying for their safety.

Tie Niu's widowed mother also came. Her eyesight was not very good, and she stumbled when she walked. Shi Anan hurriedly supported her.

"Miss Shi, you think the gods will bless our Tie Niu?" There was a hint of sob in her voice.

"Yes, I will." Shi Anan said firmly. As long as they can come back, no matter how badly injured they are, she will try her best to find a way to save them.

As everyone waited anxiously, time passed by. Everyone watched the hailstones in the sky grow from the size of pebbles to the size of people, as if the clouds in the sky had fallen in one piece.

But the sound of landing was not as gentle as that of clouds. They had not come back yet. Despair gradually appeared in everyone's eyes, but there was still a glimmer of hope in their hearts.

Maybe they found a hiding place and didn't go back?

But those who are familiar with this road know that there are no caves to hide in. They dare not imagine how desperate it would be to face these huge ice blocks.

"Someone! Is it them?" Just as everyone lowered their heads in disappointment and worry and fear, the village chief's voice suddenly rang out.

All of a sudden, everyone looked outside.

Five people with vaguely visible human figures were seen rushing towards them, but two of them were being supported by others.

"tractor!"

"Zhang Cheng!"

"Zhao Shu!"

Everyone was excited. It was only a few steps away and they might get hit even if they went out, but no one cared. A few men rushed out quickly and carried the five of them back.
