Xiao Yi still traded a bow and arrow to him and said, "Take it first. It can be regarded as a long-range attack weapon!"
"Okay!" Jiang Yuntian took the bow and arrow and immediately asked Junjun to learn how to use it.
After completing the weapon transaction, Xiao Yi walked out of the apartment and harvested the ripe soybeans in the field.
"Obtained supplies: Soybeans (Grade A) * 20kg."
He left 5kg as seeds, used 10kg to extract oil, and soaked the remaining 5kg of soybeans in water, preparing to sprout them.
Xiao Yi stir-fried the soybeans and put them into an oil press to extract oil.
"Obtained supplies: Soybean oil (Grade A) * 1.5kg, soybean cake (Grade A) * 8.5kg."
Eating lard alone is bound to be greasy. Moreover, not all the harvested soybeans can be planted, mainly limited by the area of the field.
The soybean cake can be used to feed chickens and is an excellent feed.
After dealing with the soybeans, Xiao Yi returned to the apartment, took a bath, cut the wild boar meat he had previously obtained into strips and strung them on wooden skewers.
There were also the small Chinese cabbages harvested from the field and the potatoes from before, and he strung a lot of them.
"It's time for a real barbecue!"
The previous barbecue was without oil, and the cooked food always felt like something was missing!
Xiao Yi moved the strung vegetables, potatoes, and meat skewers to the grill!
"Even though it's sweltering hot, it can't stop my pursuit of delicious food!" Xiao Yi said.
After grilling a few skewers, Xiao Yi immediately fled back to the apartment.
"It's too hot! Let's put the pursuit of delicious food on hold for a while!" Xiao Yi muttered helplessly.
While tasting the freshly grilled meat skewers, Xiao Yi browsed the chat on the public channel.
"It's almost been two weeks. Huihui, where are you? Why haven't you looked for me?"
"In such sweltering heat, everyone must be taking shelter from the heat in front of the island monument. She should be able to see it! Maybe she didn't notice. Be patient!"
"If it keeps being this hot, I'll jump into the sea and commit suicide directly!"
"Don't be in a hurry, everyone. I believe there will be a turning point after this week!"
"A turning point? You're too naive! The first week has passed, and it's an upgrade test. I'm afraid the difficulty of the test will be even greater after this week!"
"Don't be too pessimistic, everyone. As long as we don't die, there's always hope!"
"I can't hold on much longer!"
Seeing the pessimistic mood pervading the public channel, Xiao Yi sighed, sent a message looking for An Ran, and then lay down on the bed.
Other survivors couldn't fall asleep because of the heat, while Xiao Yi lay in the air-conditioned room and gradually fell asleep.
When Xiao Yi woke up again, it was already pitch black!
"What's going on?" Xiao Yi quickly checked the system.
The time was 15:25 in the afternoon.
Why is it dark at this moment? Xiao Yi walked out of the door in confusion.
The sky outside was overcast, as if it was pressing down on his head, and Xiao Yi felt extremely depressed!
"It's going to rain heavily!" Xiao Yi said.
"Kacha!"
"Rumble!"
A bolt of lightning split through the dark clouds, as if tearing the sky apart, and the heavy rain poured down!
Xiao Yi returned to the island monument, and the public channel was filled with joy!
"It's raining. Great! Finally, we don't have to worry about the water source problem anymore!"
"Yes. Hurry up and rent a stove. We can have an unlimited water source by boiling water!"
"It's finally not so hot. It's so refreshing to get caught in the rain!"
"Be careful not to catch a cold!"
Xiao Yi watched them rejoicing and switched to the private chat channel.
"Is it raining where you are?" Xiao Yi asked.
"Yes, it's raining heavily!" Jiang Yuntian replied.
Su Wan was hiding in the tent and said, "It's raining. There's almost water accumulation in my tent!"
"It's raining here too, but it's just a light rain!" Yuan Nong answered.
Based on the amount of rain the three of them reported, Xiao Yi roughly judged that Yuan Nong was far away from him, and the other two seemed to be in the same area as him!
"Everyone, be careful not to get sick from getting wet in the rain!" Xiao Yi reminded and went out to continue the barbecue that he didn't finish in the morning!
This time, since there was oil to brush on the vegetables, the small Chinese cabbages, potatoes, and pork skewers that were grilled were fragrant!
He sent the grilled food to Su Wan and the others.
"Outrageous! The technique of automatic and dexterous irrigation can definitely resolve the flood disaster!" The system responded with an ancient-sounding voice.
"Great technique!" Xiao Yi praised, gave a thumbs-up, and his expression was one of admiration. Looking at the still gloomy sky, not knowing when the rain would stop, Xiao Yi put on the self-made coir raincoat and stepped into the rain.
He dragged the seven supply boxes he had captured today into the wooden house, and then adjusted the automatic fishing net, setting it to cast the net without a specific direction.
Open the supply boxes!
"Obtained supplies: Foundation stone * 2, down comforter * 1,..."
"Obtained supplies: Foundation stone * 1, heavy crossbow manufacturing diagram * 1,..."
"Obtained supplies:..."
From the seven supply boxes, he got four foundation stones, 500 grams of flatbread, a manufacturing diagram, and a warm down comforter. The rest were basic survival supplies.
"[Heavy crossbow manufacturing diagram]: 50 pieces of wood, 4 pieces of beast sinew, 10 pieces of iron ore."
"Fortunately, the wild boar and the wolf gave me seven portions of beast sinew a few days ago. Otherwise, it would be difficult to make this thing!" Xiao Yi murmured to himself.
Before returning to the island monument, he immediately started making the heavy crossbow.
"Please choose a place to place it."
After thinking for a while, Xiao Yi placed the heavy crossbow on the beach directly in front of the apartment. Since it was a heavy crossbow, it must be a powerful heavy weapon.
After placing it properly, Xiao Yi returned to the island monument and continued to pay attention to the conversation of everyone.
"When will this rain stop?"
"Yes. I was planning to go out and fish for a few supply boxes!"
"Then go ahead. I just fished one back!"
"With such heavy rain, aren't you afraid of getting sick?"
"I'm afraid, but I'm more afraid of starving to death or drowning! I'll change out of my wet clothes immediately after coming back and warm myself by the stove."
"Then I'm going out in the rain too!"
"Are you all really that desperate?"
"If we don't fight for it, where will our lives be? How can we not fight?"
Xiao Yi sent a message to Su Wan and the other two: "Don't risk going out to fish for supply boxes in the rain. It's troublesome to get sick, and it's not worth taking the risk for a supply box."
The three of them agreed one after another.
The rain continued, converging into a stream at the back of Xiao Yi's apartment.
Finally, it flowed into the ditch he had dug. At this moment, the ditch was wider than when it was first dug.
Xiao Yi listened to the sound of the rain and gradually fell asleep.
It wasn't until the next morning that he was awakened by the faint crowing of a rooster.
Cock-a-doodle-doo!
Xiao Yi was awakened by the faint crowing of a rooster!
He got up and checked the chat records on the island monument and found that the rain had been falling until 5 o'clock in the morning yesterday without stopping!
When he walked out of the apartment, he found that it was already dawn, and it was no longer sweltering hot!
"Finally, we've been given a clear day!" Xiao Yi whispered.
"The sea water is invading the island, and the current progress is 30%." The system prompted.
"Has it already started?" Xiao Yi said and walked towards the field. First, he harvested the forage and fed it to the cowshed.
The fish pond he had dug before was full of sea fish again. The automatic fishing net had another bountiful harvest last night.
Xiao Yi had to deal with a large number of sea fish and prepared to pickle them into dried fish for storage.
He adjusted the target of the fishing net and went to the back of the apartment. The original small hillock had turned into a hill that was two to three hundred feet high.
Crash!
The water in the mountain kept flowing, providing a continuous supply of fresh water to the stream!
The fresh water stream had taken shape, and it was estimated that fresh water would be refreshed soon.
Xiao Yi nodded in satisfaction.
After the heavy rain, the trees were greener. But since he hadn't cleared a path in the forest yet, he didn't rashly go deep into it.
Back in the apartment, Xiao Yi prepared a simple breakfast for everyone, including milk, eggs, corn, and half an apple.
The future situation can't be dealt with by one person alone. It's also crucial for his partners to improve their physical fitness.
Su Wan and the others were not polite. After quickly finishing their breakfast, they went to observe the supply boxes floating around the island.
They didn't know how long this weather would last, and they had to hurry up and fish for the supply boxes.
The sea water was still eroding their island!
In fact, it wasn't just the three of them. All the survivors were racing against time, especially those who hadn't had any harvest for a week.
Even more tense were the survivors whose island was only three square meters in size.
In the first week, they ignored the foundation stones and used them to exchange for water and food.
After the first week, they realized the importance of the foundation stones, but a heatwave came, and the probability of the foundation stones appearing was also reduced.
