doomsday survival

Chapter 74 Second Construction
The igloo is a characteristic building of the Eskimos. They live in the Arctic region. In order to resist the severe cold, the Eskimos invented the igloo and moved to live underground.

When Shi Jian first met Xia Qing, the Xia Qing sisters lived in a simple snow house, and now Feng Kuang and Chen Qiong proposed to build a snow house, which made Shi Jian keep lamenting that he was destined for the snow house.

Feng Kuang and Chen Qiong have rich experience in living in the wild, so building a snow house is not difficult for them.The igloo chosen by Chen Qiong is the same as that of the Eskimos. It is an igloo with snow bricks built up in layers and gradually shrinks until it looks like a yurt.

The next job was entrusted to Shi Jian. He was going to dig a deep hole in the frozen ground. Feng Kuang and Chen Qiong actually lived underground.The low temperature of more than minus 30 degrees made the ground as hard as steel. It took three days of digging to dig a pit more than one meter deep with the use of stone-hard shovels and picks.This is because the camp is mainly sand and gravel. If it is all mud, the ground will be harder, and there will only be a white spot with a pickaxe.

The igloo was covered with furs, Shi Jian set up the tent again, and put a brazier in the igloo, because there was a window on the south side of the igloo for light and ventilation, so gas poisoning was unforeseen.Shi Jian lit the charcoal in the brazier, and the temperature in the snow house continued to rise, and after a while, it was not much different from that in the wooden house.

Shi Jian asked worriedly, "Is this snow house going to melt?"

Feng Kuang patted Shi Jian on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Haha, what are you afraid of? You don't live here. Let me tell you, it won't be a problem to hold on to this snow house for forty or fifty days."

Shi Jian did some calculations, the snow house could last until the end of February and the beginning of March, maybe the five of them would have moved away by then, so he was relieved.

After the snow house was built, Shi Jian did not get a rest. Under the strong request of Feng Kuang and Chen Qiong, he started his miserable life as a migrant worker again.

Both Feng Kuang and Chen Qiong are masters of planning for a rainy day, without strict defense measures, they can't even sleep soundly.It's just that Shi Jian is pitiful, first clearing the snow in the trench, and then covering the trench with a layer of camouflage.

Chen Qiong said: "I didn't know there were cannibal tribes before, but your design is okay. Now that you know they exist, you must be prepared to contact them to prevent sudden incidents and surprises. In addition, if you add If you pretend, more wolves will fall into it at that time, and you don't have to take such a big risk."

Shi Jian had no choice but to use twigs to cover the ditch, and then covered it with a layer of snow. As a result, the ditch turned into a trap.This is not over yet, Fengkuang is going to build a snow wall more than three meters high on the inner side of the defensive circle, and clear all the snow around the camp at once.

Shi Jian complained to Feng Kuang: "Anyway, we will move out in two more months. Isn't it too much for us to do this?"

"What a fart," Feng Kuang reprimanded, "Don't be afraid of [-], just in case, there is no place for you to cry when you really need it!"

Facing Feng Kuang who was blowing his beard and staring at his eyes, Shi Jian had no choice but to work as a coolie.

More than three meters high, a one-meter-thick snow wall surrounds the camp. Outside there are two circles of horses, and in the middle of the horses is a hidden trap. The whole camp is like a medieval fortress, built as solid as gold.

The snow used in the snow wall was photographed solidly, and there is a circle of steps inside which rise in turn. The highest step allows people to stand on it and shoot arrows. Chen Qiong asked Shi Jian to leave some shooting holes on the outer wall, which not only ensured the personal safety of the shooter It also ensures the accuracy of the shooter's attack.

Standing in the wall, Shi Jian looked at the city wall built by himself, feeling a great sense of accomplishment, and said with emotion: "It's so perfect!"

"Perfect fart!" Feng Kuang reprimanded, "Go and check the city gate again, don't make mistakes by then."

Feng Kuang is talking about a wooden cage installed above the exit of the snow wall, which is filled with snow and is usually lifted high with wooden pulleys, and can be lowered to block the exit at any time.The single-plank bridge that entered and exited was also designed by Chen Qiong as a suspension bridge, which was only lowered when entering and exiting.

Shi Jian was very dissatisfied with this design, which added a lot of trouble to getting in and out. For this reason, he specifically found Chen Qiong and asked, "Old Chen, is it too troublesome to get in and out?"

Chen Qiong shook her head and said, "No trouble, safety first."

Shi Jian was unconvinced and said: "Even if someone comes to attack us, there is no need to add a suspension bridge. When the enemy comes, put down the snow cage, and usually add a door."

"Then what if it came at night?" Chen Qiong asked back.

"Evening? Well, I think it's simple." Shi Jian had nothing to say.

Although Shi Jian felt that this was unnecessary, he still admired Chen Qiong and Feng Kuang very much. They took all possible things into consideration and minimized their own danger.

After being reprimanded by Feng Kuang, Shi Jian checked the suspension bridge and the hanging cage twice to make sure that both were operating normally, and then went back to the house to rest.

After taking a sip of the hot tea offered by Xia Rou, Shi Jian consciously picked up the Fengkuang pipe and started smoking.

Feng Kuang looked at Shi Jian who was exhaling smoke rings and said, "Shi Jian, the old cripple also has a pipe, why do you always use mine?"

Shi Jian giggled and didn't speak, it couldn't be said that he was afraid of Chen Qiong and didn't dare to take it.

Avoiding the topic of Feng Kuang, Shi Jian said: "The work is finally finished, now we can rest."

"Not enough!" Chen Qiong's simple two words broke Shi Jian's dream of rest.

"What else are you going to do?" Shi Jian's voice trembled a little.After digging earth and building snow walls these days, Shi Jian was already exhausted.

"Continue to set traps." Chen Qiong made a work arrangement for the next few days.

Shi Jian curled his mouth, and just about to say something, Feng Kuang said: "This time the work will be less, and it should be completed in three days."

After hearing about it for three days, Shi Jian finally felt relieved, thinking: "Three days, brother can still hold on."

But Chen Qiong's words made his heart rise to his throat again, Chen Qiong said: "Just treat these tasks as a warm-up for your training."

"Hot... Warm up?" Shi Jian stammered.

Chen Qiong nodded.

"Then...then what's the official...?" Shi Jian asked tentatively.

"I'll know when the time comes." Chen Qiong replied smoothly.

Feng Kuang patted Shi Jian on the shoulder, said with a sinister smile, "Don't worry, I'm fine. Didn't I survive too?"

Shi Jian looked at Feng Kuang and said, "Old Feng, tell me, will someone die?"

"Why do you think of dead people? Really, I tell you, no," Feng Kuang shook his head and said, "But at that time, I felt that it would be better to die." Fear, as if thinking of something terrible.

Shi Jian looked at Feng Kuang, his heart was pounding, his hand holding the pipe trembled.

Feng Kuang was right. In three days, all the traps that Chen Qiong requested were set up. Dozens of traps, large and small, were set up densely around the camp, taking into account all the weak points of defense that could be imagined.

What Chen Qiong said is not wrong, this can only be regarded as a warm-up activity on the eve of training. Although he is not tired of digging holes and building walls, he has to climb up and down trees every day. All the desires of being clear and gentle are gone.

"Did the two old men see that I had Qing'er sleeping next to me, and they envied and hated me all kinds of things, so they beat me to death?" Shi Jian secretly slandered.

After dinner on the last day, Feng Kuang's words made Shi Jian regret his slander against the elder.

Feng Kuang called Shi Jian who got up and was going to sleep on the bed, and said with a smile: "Shi Jian, have you been exhausted for the past two days?"

Shi Jian sat by the bed, leaning limply against the wall, looked at Feng Kuang, and said pitifully, "Old Feng, if you have something to say, tell me quickly, I won't even have the strength to go to bed in a while."

Feng Kuang said in surprise: "Shi Jian, you are so old, you can't go to bed anymore, you have kidney deficiency, you need to be cured!"

Xia Qing thought that Shi Jian was really tired of going to bed, so he walked over to help him to bed.Shi Jian waved his hand to signal that she didn't need her help, then bowed to Feng Kuang and said: "Old Feng, Mr. Feng, Grandpa Feng, I beg you, please forgive me. If you have something to say, please tell me quickly, I'm really boring to joke with you all the time." gone."

"It seems that I'm really tired. I don't want to talk, okay? Go to sleep." Feng Kuang said as he stood up and walked out, muttering in his mouth: "I wanted to discuss it with you, but in the past two days Let's finish your marriage with Xia Qing, forget it, let's talk about it when you have the energy."

"I'm strong, I'm strong!" Shi Jian's body was filled with infinite strength, he jumped out of bed and ran to hold Feng Kuang, and said, "Old Feng, don't leave, it's not too late to leave after making the arrangements in advance. "
