Desert Island Survival Diary

Chapter 96 No.60 Seven days, a devastating blow

God didn't give me the slightest chance. Just when I thought the rainstorm was about to end, the strong wind came again.

This time, the strong wind was more ferocious and raging than the previous few days.In the early hours of the morning, Xiao Hei's terrified cry woke me up, and when I opened my eyes, I saw Xiao Hei who was soaking wet, still dripping water from his body.

Seeing Xiao Hei's miserable appearance, I immediately realized that something was wrong, and rushed to the upper floor of the tree house. The torrential rain was being smashed down by the strong wind, and the roof had been lifted, leaving only the tarp and a corner tied by vines Then, the strong wind swooped down with the torrential rain.I couldn't even open my eyes, but persisted in trying to re-fasten the waterproofing, but failed...

The wind was so strong that it was impossible to maintain balance, let alone pull the flapping tarp.Although I was already drenched, I really wanted to give up, but if I gave up, the grain fires on the lower floor would be ruined.

There is no choice but to persist, holding onto the wall and walking towards the blown tarpaulin. The small tree that was originally covered by it has been blown away long ago. This tarpaulin may be blown away in a second...

Before the thought of "wow" came to an end, the vines binding the tarpaulin reached their limit. Amid the sound of "swoosh", the tarpaulin was blown up by the wind and floated away in an instant.

My heart sank to the bottom all of a sudden, which was undoubtedly a huge and unacceptable blow to me.Without this tarp, I have nothing, no way to keep the rain from pouring in.After hesitating for a few seconds, he decided to go to the lower floor as soon as possible and try to rescue some needed things.

The situation on the lower floor is worse than I imagined. Water is dripping everywhere, including the fire that is about to go out. The food and firewood piles have been successfully occupied by rainwater, and the water on the upper floor is flowing down like a rain curtain.

"It's over! Everything is over!" I held my head, and the last hope in my heart disappeared. The results of so many hours of hard work are all over...

"Ah!!! Why!!!" My mentality completely collapsed at this moment, I squatted down and beat the ground vigorously with clenched fists, punch after punch, my mind went blank, and my inner anger could not be vented.The ground has become very solid after long-term trampling, but I still punched several holes with my fists.

Maybe Xiao Hei was frightened by my appearance. Originally, it was shaking off the water from its body. Maybe it was the first time it saw me like this, so it stopped and came over and rubbed its head on my waist, probably to comfort me. me.

Maybe it was the effect of venting, maybe it was Xiao Hei's actions that affected me. After a long time, I finally calmed down.The ground was already full of ocean, the entire hut was lost, the fire was sacrificed in the water, and the ash from plants and trees mixed into the water, making the water in the whole tree house extremely dirty.

After calming down a bit, my focus also changed. There was no need to manage the water on the ground. The fire had been extinguished, and the food was all wet. The only thing that was not wet was left on the table wrapped in the bedding. Two pistols and a flashlight too.If left alone, chances are they'll all get wet too.Whether the pistol can be used wet, I don't know.

He moved the long bench that he had made by himself before, and put the pistol in the bedding on the long bench in the dark, and then stuffed the stool under the table.With a flashlight, I put bacon, homemade sausage, dried fish, tortillas, etc. in one go.

Just put the stool full, I really want to save these grains, looking at these rice soaked in water, my heart hurts like a knife.This is a kind of suffering, but there is nothing you can do, and this feeling is really painful.

In fact, the water in the tree house has been drained very fast, but it can't catch up with the speed of coming in from the upper floor. I dug several small ditches with an ax to drain water, but the effect is negligible, and it has no effect at all.

But I still didn't stop. I don't know how long the storm will last. Originally, I had planned to strengthen the tree house once the rainstorm stopped, but it was still too late...

But it's useless to think about it now. If the fire goes out, we can still think of a way, and if the food goes bad, there will be no more.I can only pray that the rain will stop soon. Various thoughts appear in my mind repeatedly, but the action has not stopped. I have already dug a lot of small criss-cross ditches on the ground, trying to ensure that the water level will not be too high. high……

Being numb, I have long forgotten the concept of time. I don't know how long after I have been busy, the rain seems to be a little lighter, and I don't know if it is an illusion.The battery in the flashlight seems to be not enough. I feel that the brightness has weakened a lot. I don't know if it can last until dawn.

When the dawn came through the crack of the door, I felt that the wind and rain seemed to have stopped. After I opened the door and went out, I found that the wind and rain had really stopped, the sun had risen in the east, and finally ushered in the sunny day again. I can't be happy, this storm has cost me too much, and I almost have to start all over again.

Xiao Hei also followed, his whole body was wet and covered with mud, my body must be similar to it.

The lower floor of the tree house has completely lost its original appearance. The muddy and messy ground is shocking. The water on the upper floor is still dripping. over average.

"Ah!!" With a long roar, I vented my aggrieved and painful feelings, and I started to move. The lower floor is no longer suitable for living, unless I can re-pave the ground and build the house , this time, no matter how hard and tiring and troublesome it is, I will build a house that can be waterproof and not be blown off the roof by strong winds...

I moved all the bags of food out, and I know the ground outside is also wet, but so what, the house is even wetter, dirtier, and muddy.At least they can be dried after the sun comes out. I know very well that the effect will be better if they are poured out to dry, but there is no such condition now.

After sighing, I took out all the things inside, including tables, stools, food and everything else.

To be honest, I am a little bit at a loss now, and I have an extremely negative thought that keeps reverberating in my mind, repeatedly persuading me, give up, give up!
Now is also the time when I am most confused. I don't know what to do next and what to do first. I feel that it is very important.Is trying to make a fire?Or transport some sand and gravel to the tree house first?Or go find a tarp?Or fix the roof first?

……

This tangled mentality has wasted a lot of my time!
My heart, which has been restless, finally calmed down when I finished drinking this drink, and my decision was made at this moment...

Then follow this plan, there is no time to waste for me...
