Doomsday: Humanity shrinks 100 times

Chapter 30 Tree Hole Shelter Planning
The second is the issue of security.

They had just arrived and were not sure how dangerous the area was, but at least there were still quite a lot of plants.

Not only is there a forest area in front of us, but there is also a patch of extremely lush weeds on the right.

At least after they came here, they saw a lot of insects, mainly small ants, some small flying insects of unknown species, and of course their old friend, mosquitoes.

Fortunately, they are still some distance away from the forest area, so there is no need to worry too much, but they still need to be vigilant.

Since building a shelter takes time, we still need to build a temporary shelter today.

The third is the material issue.

Lu Yuning's original intention was to get some materials from the pavilion, but things became tense and he had no chance.

When it comes to building a shelter, materials are essential, especially plastic!
Since the house is built in a tree hole, light is a big problem. We can't live in darkness every day, which will make us feel bad.

So maybe I have to go to the trash can again.

Finally, it is about the overall planning of the tree hole shelter. Of course, it is just a basic plan. Let’s meet the living conditions first.

The first thing to do was to choose the location of the cave entrance. After some discussion, several people finally decided to build it about 30 cm above the ground.

The main considerations are the threats from wild animals and large insects, as well as convenience, so in the end, after a compromise, this location may be better.

And the entrance of the cave must be designed well, otherwise it is easy to get yourself trapped.

It faces south to ensure sufficient light.

Then comes the specific apartment design. There are five people in their group now. Ideally, each person can have a bedroom and some corresponding supporting facilities.

However, the workload is too heavy, Lu Yuning is too busy to handle it, and others can't help much. It is better to keep it simple in the early stage, and then expand on this basis later.

So we finally decided to create a large space and divide it into two parts, one for men and one for women.

This is the most basic thing, and then you also need a storage room to put the existing food in, and consider food reserves in advance.

Lu Yuning thought that this could also be constructed outside the tree trunk.

Of course, toilets, shower rooms, kitchens and other such facilities may need to be built in the future, but they can only be postponed until the most basic living conditions are guaranteed.

After the five of them chatted, they found that Zhang Qian was actually an expert in this area and it seemed that she had work experience in this area before.

Everyone was naturally delighted, and Lu Yuning was even more delighted. At first, they just thought that her special ability might be useful, but they didn't expect that she had talent in this area.

Now this team is almost perfect, with a high degree of compatibility in abilities, and everyone can play their part.

These are the four most basic issues at the moment. Everyone has discussed them and it is already noon.

Everyone still had some food and water reserves, but they would be almost completely used up by tomorrow. After a quick meal, they decided to get started.

"Let's get to work!" Zou Yunxin shouted excitedly, startling everyone.

"Let's get to work!" Wu Xiao immediately responded.

The two of them were shouting and yelling, and inevitably they were scolded by the discipline committee member Zhang Xinyue.

However, their excitement was conveyed to others, and everyone was also very excited.

However, the excavation of the tree hole shelter was much slower than expected.

The main reason is that the location is too high and the trunk is more difficult to handle than imagined.

Lu Yuning thought about it and thought that it was probably because the camphor tree was quite old and close to the roots, so the excavation was much slower than the previous squirrel nest.

It was already getting dark. "It looks like we won't be able to fix this in two days." Lu Yuning jumped down from mid-air and said to the others.

He has recently been gradually testing his physical abilities, such as jumping from a high altitude and figuring out how high a distance he can fall from before landing smoothly.

Of course, you should start from a height that is normal for your visual sense, and then gradually increase the height. When it exceeds twice the height of your body, your brain will send out a danger signal.

But in fact, he didn't feel anything when he fell down. Lu Yuning even thought that falling directly from a high altitude would not be a big problem, but it was just an idea and he would not really try it.

Just be familiar with the necessary heights.

The other four people were also inspired by this, and gradually became familiar with their own body functions and slowly allowed their brains to accept new sensory cognition.

"What do you mean, Yuning?" Zou Yunxin spoke first.

"Is it not possible?" Zhang Qian asked.

All four of them came over.

"It's too high and difficult to use as leverage. The trunk is also a bit hard. Let's ignore it today and build a temporary shelter first." Lu Yuning shook his head.

When Zhang Xinyue saw Lu Yuning jump down, she hurried over.

According to their previous plan, Zhang Xinyue was mainly responsible for taking people to check the distance to nearby water sources.

"Yu Ning, I looked around. This place is actually very close to the river, but there's no way to get there."

"How far away can we see it?"

"Well, we went around to the side and took a look. It seems to be about five or six meters away from here in a straight line." Zhang Xinyue made a rough estimate and said.

"That's fine. If that doesn't work, we can just make another pipe. But for long-term use, the material will probably have to be changed to wood." Lu Yuning thought for a while and said.

"It's not a small project to build a six-meter-long pipeline like this." Zhang Xinyue frowned.

"Well, but I do have an idea..." Lu Yuning hesitated for a moment and didn't seem very confident.

Several pairs of bright eyes stared at him silently, waiting for him to continue.

Recently, everyone has blind faith in him. When he says he has an idea, others subconsciously think that the idea is feasible.
Lu Yuning looked at the people who were concentrating on their work and felt a little embarrassed, because this was indeed just his idea, or a fantasy.

Seeing everyone's curious eyes, Lu Yuning had no choice but to continue speaking: "I want to get a steam water pump. I don't know if it will work. We use a lot of water now, for domestic use, drinking water, and we also need to give some to Xu Qi and the others. This place is far away, so why not just pump the water over?"

Zou Yunxin naturally didn't understand, while Wu Xiao and Zhang Qian opened their mouths with surprised expressions.

Zhang Xinyue frowned and thought for a long time before speaking, "It's really possible. With your and Yun Xin's special abilities, maybe we can give it a try. This equipment isn't complicated, but it does require some sealing, and your special abilities could make up for that."

"Really? I'm actually not too sure. I just know some of the principles, but I don't know how to do it specifically, so I just have a rough idea." Lu Yuning scratched his head. This was not his strong point.

"I know a little about this. We can try it together when the time comes." Zhang Xinyue said quickly.

"Okay! But this thing requires a lot of materials to make. I guess we don't have any other options now. Let's build the shelter first." Lu Yuning looked a little excited, but then calmed down.

　There are a lot more people these two days, and I feel very nervous.

　　There are two main things to say:

　　First, I want to say thank you to the book friends who voted in the past two days. This is my biggest motivation for writing. I originally wanted to learn from others and update a few chapters, but I am really not that kind of person. Writing a book is just my interest. At present, I write a little slowly, so after thinking it over again, I decided not to do it, for fear that I will not write well.

　　Secondly, I saw some questions and suggestions from book friends in the comment section and chapter reviews. I will collect them together and then create a post to answer them in a unified manner.

　　Today a book friend submitted a character portrait. I don’t know how to do it, but I’m still very happy.
