Desert Island Infrastructure: Claiming the System Brings Many Blessings

The wind outside was getting stronger.

The sound of trees snapping and raindrops pounding against rocks could be heard intermittently from the direction of the cave entrance. In the distance, lightning struck, and thunder rumbled through the valley.

Everyone sat around the campfire, and no one wanted to go back to their room to sleep.

In this kind of weather, it's much safer to stay together than to hide alone in a cabin.

Yang Mimi went to the stove and busied herself for a while, then brought back a large bowl of hot milk.

"Come on, have a bowl of hot milk before bed to warm yourself up."

Kitagawa Keiko was the first to take the bowl, holding it in her hands and taking a big gulp.

"Mmm, this is so wonderful. A typhoon is raging outside, and we're drinking milk inside the cave."

Fan Yubing held the bowl and sipped her milk slowly. After soaking in the hot spring and drinking milk, she relaxed completely, leaning against the door frame of the wooden house with her eyes half-closed.

Liu Yan also drank a bowl.

She has now eaten two bowls of noodles and drunk two bowls of milk. With something in her stomach, she has regained most of her energy.

Liu Yan leaned against a rock, holding a bowl in both hands, staring blankly at the campfire.

The firelight flickered, casting shadows on her face.

She was thinking about what had happened that day.

Just a day earlier, she and Dilina were waiting to die in that dilapidated cave. They had been starving for three days, their fresh water and food were gone, and a storm was raging outside.

A day later, they sat in a warm cave, eating noodles and drinking milk, surrounded by a group of companions and protected by a man with extraordinary abilities.

Sometimes, a turning point in life can happen in an instant.

Liu Yan glanced at Qin Chuan again.

Qin Chuan sat on the wooden stake, legs apart, hands on his knees, head down, lost in thought.

The firelight illuminated his profile, highlighting his angular features: short stubble, thick eyebrows, and a high nose. He wasn't exceptionally handsome, but he looked reliable and dependable.

Liu Yan mentally assessed him: his appearance was above average, but he had a strong presence.

She has a quirk: she judges men by their looks first. Back on Earth, she had no interest in even chatting with unattractive men.

But the situation is different now. This man may not have the highest score in terms of appearance, but his overall strength has far exceeded the scope of his looks.

It can support so many people, hunt, build houses, heal wounds, and has all sorts of weird superpowers.

The scales in Liu Yan's heart had unknowingly shifted.

Dilina leaned against the cotton quilt, also watching the campfire.

She was in much better condition than when she first arrived; her face had regained some color, and her lips weren't as chapped. After eating and drinking milk, her weakness lessened considerably.

In addition, Qin Chuan used his survival skills to heal her ankle, so she can walk without any pain now.

Dilina recalled the scene of checking in just now in her mind.

A 30-second kiss.

She herself didn't know why she kissed for so long. Perhaps she was provoked by Kitagawa Keiko's words, and a surge of energy welled up inside her, causing her to press herself against the wall. Once she was there, she realized she couldn't stop.

Qin Chuan's lips were warmer than she had imagined.

Dilina quickly banished the thought from her mind.

She shifted her attention and began to observe the layout of the cave.

Seven small wooden cabins were arranged neatly in a row. Each cabin, though small, was sturdy. The planks were joined tightly together, and the gaps were filled with mud. The stove was located near the entrance, ensuring good ventilation.

This space planning is very reasonable.

Although Dilina studied aerospace engineering, she had a solid foundation in engineering design. She could tell at a glance that the designers of this cave camp had put a lot of thought into it.

"Brother Chuan, did you build all these cabins by yourself?" Dilina asked.

Qin Chuan looked up: "Yes, the planks were cut from the forest. It's from a plant called the plank tree, which naturally produces flat planks. After bringing them back, we just need to assemble them."

Dilina nodded, thinking to herself that it was no wonder these wooden planks were so exquisite. She hadn't expected there to be plank trees on the island.

Night deepened. The storm showed no signs of abating, but the campfire inside the cave burned ever brighter.

Yang Mimi yawned: "I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep now."

Lin Shishi also stood up: "Everyone should get some rest. Which room are Liu Yan and Nana staying in?"

Qin Chuan thought for a moment: "There are seven cabins now. Before, it was one cabin per person, which was just enough. With Liu Yan and Dilinana added, there are two more people, so someone will have to share one temporarily. I'll build two more cabins tomorrow."

"How about I share a room with Yang Mimi tonight?" Liu Yifei suggested.

Qin Chuan nodded: "That works too. There's an extra room available. How about Liu Yan and Nana share a room?"

"No problem." The two nodded.

Qin Chuan: "Alright, if there's nothing else, you guys go to sleep first. I'll check the cave up and down to see if there's anything unusual."

"OK."

Everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

Liu Yan and Dilina were put into Liu Yifei's small wooden house.

Although the space wasn't large, there were wooden plank beds, cotton pillows, and blankets. It was a million times better than when they slept on the stone floor in the cave.

The moment Dilina lay down on the bed, she felt completely relaxed.

A soft cotton pillow supported the back of her head, and a cotton quilt wrapped around her body, warm and cozy.

"Liu Yan," Dilina said softly.

"Hmm?" Liu Yan lay down beside her and relaxed as well.

"We're so lucky."

Liu Yan was silent for a while: "Yes, even now, I still feel like I'm dreaming."

.....

The grotto outside the house.

Qin Chuan added some firewood, and the campfire blazed up again, its light casting a warm yellow glow on the cave's stone walls.

After confirming that everyone had returned to their rooms, Qin Chuan stood up, dusted off his pants, and headed towards the cave entrance.

The wind blowing in from the cave entrance carried a heavy smell of moisture and earth. Reaching the corner, Qin Chuan saw the cow.

The cow lay on the haystack at the corner, its four legs tucked under its body, its head resting on its front hooves, its two big eyes half-closed, and its mouth slowly chewing the ruminated hay.

Qin Chuan mentally issued a command: "Is there anything unusual?"

The cow raised its head, flicked its tail, and then lay back down. Although loyalty is still in its initial stages, basic signals are already being transmitted. There is no danger.

Qin Chuan walked to the edge of the cave entrance and peeked out.

It was pitch black outside. The rain poured down like water, splashing white mist onto the rocks.

The wind swept through the woods, making the treetops sway and the branches dance wildly in the air. In the distance, lightning struck, illuminating half the sky, followed by a thunderclap that shook the cave walls.

"This typhoon is going to be strong until tomorrow." Qin Chuan glanced back at the cow. "You stay here and don't go anywhere."

The cow mooed in response.

Qin Chuan turned around and walked back, pausing briefly as he passed the hot spring pool.

The hot spring water was still steaming, and the small cascade of water from the springhead flowed as usual. The light from the luminescent stone reflected on the water's surface, refracting into spots of light like scattered gold. Everything was normal.

Next, we need to check the underground passage.

The passage extends downwards from the other end of the cave, leading to the underground forest.

Qin Chuan had previously built a simple roadblock at the entrance of the passage using iron frames and stones to prevent the strange beasts from climbing up the passage.

There's a storm tonight; who knows if the things underground will become restless due to the change in air pressure.
