Desert Island Infrastructure: Claiming the System Brings Many Blessings

After finishing breakfast, Qin Chuan walked to an open space on the west side of the camp.

This open space, located between the stone house and the wooden house, is flat and free of large trees. It is an ideal location for constructing underground fortifications.

Qin Chuan squatted down and placed his palms on the ground.

Intermediate Construction Technique, activated.

A familiar power surged from his consciousness, flowing through his palms and into the ground beneath his feet.

The ground began to shake.

Subtle, regular vibrations.

Qin Chuan closed his eyes and began to visualize the design of the underground fortifications in his mind.

The first level is ten meters deep. It includes an entrance passage and a transitional space. The entrance is L-shaped, with a flight of stairs leading down from the ground, then a turn, and then another flight of stairs. This design aims to prevent monsters from the ground from rushing in directly.

The second floor is sixteen meters deep. The main living space includes eight bedrooms, a large living room, a storage room, and a kitchen area. The total area is kept under one hundred square meters.

The third level, twenty meters deep. An emergency refuge level. Smaller in area, but absolutely safe.

The four stone walls were thickened to 50 centimeters, enabling them to withstand tremendous impact.

Qin Chuan mentally reviewed the design several times, and after confirming that there were no problems, he began to work.

A square crack appeared in the ground.

Soil and pebbles floated up from the opening, dragged aside by the power of the construction magic, and piled up into several small mounds.

Dig down, the first meter, the second meter, the third meter.

The soil layer three meters below the ground was cleared away, forming a rectangular pit. The pit walls were neat and even, as if they had been cut with a knife.

Qin Chuan stood at the bottom of the pit and continued digging.

At a depth of six meters, the composition of the soil changed. There was less mud and more gravel, and the soil became harder. Construction techniques became less efficient in this hard stratum, but it was still many times faster than manual labor.

At a depth of ten meters, Qin Chuan felt a chill seeping up from below. The temperature ten meters underground was significantly lower than at ground level, and the air was much more humid.

The entrance is 10 meters deep. If there is any danger, the entrance can be blocked from the outside. It is not only sturdy, but also provides a good concealment effect.

Qin Chuan began to reinforce the pit walls using construction techniques.

The L-shaped entrance passage has stone steps that extend from the ground to 10 meters underground. Each step is 30 centimeters wide and 20 centimeters high, making it very stable to walk on.

Qin Chuan had specially built a buffer platform at the corner, more than a meter wide, which could be used to place weapons and tools. In case any strange beasts rushed down from the entrance, they could be ambushed and intercepted at this corner.

Today's quota of 100 square meters has been used up.

Qin Chuan walked up from underground, covered in sweat.

The sun was already high in the sky, and everyone else in the camp was busy with their own tasks.

Yang Mimi cut firebird meat behind the stove, slicing the meat into thin pieces and hanging them on wooden sticks above the campfire to smoke.

Keiko Kitagawa squatted under a rubber tree, pouring the collected rubber latex into a ceramic pot to heat it. She planned to use the heated rubber to coat the inside of a woven rattan basket, making a waterproof water storage container.

Lin Shishi sat at the door of the wooden house, holding a bone needle in her hand, stuffing cotton into a woolen quilt cover.

Liu Yifei squatted in the planting area of ​​the backyard, using a small stick to dig small holes in the soil and placing the seeds one by one. Today she was planting a new batch of grain seeds, rice-like grasses that she had brought back from the underground forest.

Everyone else was busy with their own things.

Looking at the scene of everyone performing their duties in the camp, Qin Chuan felt much more at ease.

Meanwhile, Mina darted swiftly through the dense forest.

The fallen leaves and humus beneath her feet made a series of soft rustling sounds with each step. She moved several times faster than before, her breathing steady and effortless.

The machete in his hand gleamed coldly in the shadows of the trees.

Mina was wearing athletic shorts and a T-shirt, with a vine belt around her waist and a bone dagger attached to it. Her long black hair was tied in a high ponytail, which swung back and forth as she ran.

Mina ran the five-kilometer distance from the camp to the cave in less than ten minutes.

She didn't linger in the cave, but went straight down the passage and entered the underground forest.

The glowing stones in the passage emitted a blue-green light, which shone on her and made her leopard-print belt glow with an eerie light.

Reaching the end of the passage, the vast space of the underground forest unfolds before your eyes.

Mina took a deep breath.

Every time she came here, she was awestruck by the beauty of this place: colorful seas of flowers, glowing trees, and floating aerosols. But today, she wasn't here to see the scenery.

Hunter Mode activated.

Mina lowered her body and walked quietly towards the entrance area of ​​the underground forest.

The beasts in the entrance area are not high-level, ranging from level one to three, which is within her current capabilities.

After walking for about three or four minutes, Mina spotted her target.

A wild boar from another world.

With dark brown fur and a light-colored stripe along its back, it was rummaging through the ground with its nose, searching for food. It wasn't very big, probably weighing around 200 pounds.

Mina's heart was racing, but she forced herself to calm down.

Recalling Qin Chuan's movements when hunting the strange beast: approaching, aiming at the vital point, and delivering a fatal blow.

Mina circled around to the downwind side of the wild boar and slowly approached.

Thirty meters, twenty meters, ten meters.

The wild boar still hadn't found her.

Five meters away, Mina suddenly launched herself forward.

With the machete raised high, two well-proportioned long legs beneath the athletic shorts unleashed an astonishing jumping power.

The moment the blade came down, Mina aimed for the boar's neck.

"Snap!"

With a muffled thud, the machete embedded itself deeply into the wild boar's neck.

Fresh blood gushed out.

The wild boar let out a miserable cry, its body swayed twice, its four legs gave way, and it collapsed heavily to the ground.

Mina's hands were still trembling slightly.

She stared at the wild boar lying on the ground, panting heavily.

"It's done."

Mina's lips curled up, and her eyes sparkled with excitement.

First solo hunt of a strange beast. A fatal blow.

Mina crouched down, pulled the machete from the wild boar's neck, and wiped the blood off the knife with leaves from the ground.

Then she pulled out a bone-bladed dagger and began to process her prey.

Skinning, bleeding, and cutting. She had learned these steps from Qin Chuan several times. Although she wasn't as skillful as Qin Chuan, she did them quite well.

After processing the wild boar, Mina wrapped the meat in large leaves and piled it aside.

Then continue the search forward.

Over the next two hours, Mina hunted down two more wild boars and a small elk.

Three wild boars and one elk, totaling about 800 jin of meat.

Mina divided all the meat into two portions. She stored the larger portion in a natural cave near the entrance and carried the smaller portion back on her back. She ran back to the camp, put it down, and then came back to retrieve the second batch.

The round trip took less than an hour in total.
