Studying Science in the Alternate World

  Chapter 62 Cabin in the Woods

  After returning, Duke was ready to dig the escape route.

  He had already prepared two basements, light and dark. He thought that things had changed, so he could hide in the dark basement.

  But I went to observe the house destroyed by the ghost face eagle, and found that the wind blades cut directly into the ground several meters deep, obviously hiding in the dark basement is not safe.

  So the escape route must be dug, the farther the better.

  Once a spirit beast invades, escape quickly through the escape passage, or hide in a certain section of the passage to avoid the limelight.

   "Dig an escape route, it will take a lot of time." Sally was noncommittal about Duke's idea.

  She didn't think spirit beasts would invade Little Duke's farm.

   Is it just to come to eat wheat?

   "Let's treat it as a leisure activity this winter, and use the winter time to dig the escape route." Duke said without rejection.

  That night, he did not renovate and scrap the spirit card.

   Instead, he picked up a piece of manuscript paper and hand-drawn a topographic map of Little Duke Farm and its surroundings.

  His painting level is not good, but with Xiaoyi's assistance in composition, he still draws the map in a decent way, and designs escape routes on it.

   "Bieye's basement is the entrance to the passage. There is a passage leading to the small creek in the north. At that time, a thatched hut will be built on the edge of the creek and a fishing point will be used to cover it; a passage will be dug to the south, and it will be dug to the border of the farm. At that time, a haystack will be built to cover it."

  Two escape routes were quickly planned.

  So starting from this day in late November, he personally picked up the shovel and pickaxe and started digging from the dark basement.

  While holding a compass, with the help of Xiaoyi's terrain calculation ability, strictly calculate the direction deviation of the channel.

  While holding a shovel and pickaxe, he used grudge to knock down the soil and rocks one by one, put them into baskets and handed them to Levin to transport them out.

  Aunt Abi was guarding outside the gate of Bieye, not letting the recruited temporary workers know.

   After all, the fewer people who know the escape route, the safer it is.

  Pillars were used to support the wooden planks every one meter to support the escape passage to prevent collapse, and the digging went into December without knowing it.

  Two passages have been dug through.

   But this is not enough.

  Duke spent another sum of money and bought a 1-ring arcane card-fire-breathing card, which can release high-temperature flames for burning battles.

  He used the fire-breathing card on the baking channel, drying all the soil on the upper, lower, left, and right sides of the channel.

  Put steel bars on the top for support, then coat a thick layer with cement, and then support wooden boards to shape the cement. After the cement on the top dries up, he will put a layer of reinforced concrete on the surroundings and under his feet to ensure the safety of the passage.

   The technology is not difficult, but the materials are really used.

   "Boss, leave the rest of the work to me." Levin studied with Duke and has already learned the technique of applying cement.

  He is not really stupid, but he is relatively simple and honest.

  With Levin doing the job and Aunt Abby helping, Duke doesn't have to spend any more time.

  He looked at the weather and felt that it might snow in a few days, so he planned to go to the southern forest to explore again before the snow fell.

   "Let's go, Xiaoyi, hang up "Rainfall Breathing Method"."

   "Ok master, a new process has been added for you..."

  Dressed neatly, Duke put on his long sword and dagger, and plunged into the southern jungle where the terrain had long been familiar.

  Familiar with the road, you will soon arrive at Shepanhe.

  The winter dry season has arrived, and there is only a little water left in the Shepan River, exposing most of the riverbed, and some dead fish bones are embedded in it.

   Without taking the double wooden bridge, he jumped over the Snake Pan River in one leap.

   Continue south.

  Duke decided to take a path that had not been explored before this time. He kept chopping the thorns that had fallen leaves, and headed towards the depths of the jungle.

   "Master, please be careful. Most of the surrounding plants are in hibernation. The "Raindrop Breathing Method" can't resonate with them, and the monitoring ability has dropped significantly." Xiaoyi reminded at the right time that the breathing method is not a universal detection method.

   "I understand, I still have Xiaodou."

   "Chichi!" The long-haired meerkat on his shoulders slapped his chest hard with his paws, giving me a funny look.

  But although I haven't comprehended the arcane yet.

  However, Xiaodou is of the blood of a 2-ring spirit beast, and the vigilance of the blood is still very trustworthy. Complementing each other with Xiaoyi, it can completely build a self-propelled radar.

   After a while.

  Xiaodou pointed at a big tree and chirped.

  The big tree is covered with gray nuts, and Xiaodou is omnivorous, he likes to eat meat and fruits.

   "Go and pick some."

   "Chi Chi!"

  Xiaodou jumped quickly, jumped from Duke's shoulder to the branch, quickly picked more than a dozen nuts, and stuffed them into his mouth, which can be stretched out like a little squirrel.

   Jump back over the shoulder.

  Xiaodou also spat out two nuts very interestingly, held one in each paw, and handed it to Duke, intending to share it.

   "Thanks to Xiaodou, you can eat it yourself." Duke was unwilling to eat the food spit out of Xiaodou's mouth, all with saliva.

   Seeing this, Xiaodou lay flat on his shoulders happily, rolled up his big furry tail, and spit out all the nuts in his mouth into the big tail. This tail is the best fruit bowl for it. Leaving a nut behind, he held it in both hands and began to gnaw and remove the shell.

  Perhaps winter is approaching, and everything begins to decline. Along the way, a lot of thorns have been cut, but the harvest is very little.

   There are no spirit beasts to haunt, no spirit plants to hide.

  Duke was a little disappointed in his heart, so he changed the Sand Eagle 1.1 muzzle compensator version to his left hand, and began to practice left-handed marksmanship while exploring.

  The development of the Sand Eagle 1.2 scope version is not going well, so he still can only aim with the crosshair.

  Short range is perfect, but long range requires multiple adjustments.

   Poof!

  Holding the gun in his left hand is a little awkward.

  Naturally, the aim is not enough.

  But Duke has enough patience. Sooner or later, he will be able to train his left hand to be as accurate as his right hand. When the time comes, he can switch his hands at will and fight more sharply.

   I kept groping until noon, but still got nothing.

  Duke found a dead log that had fallen to the ground, sat on it, tore a few pieces of dried toad wolf meat, and shared it with Xiaodou.

   After eating, continue to explore.

  The sky was gloomy, and the silent forest looked eerie and scary. Duke and Xiaodou cheered up and walked forward cautiously.

   It's not long.

  Duke suddenly raised his brows: "Xiao Yi, am I right, there is a cabin here?"

   "Master, you read that right."

  In the faint bushes ahead, there is a wooden house that looks like a sloping roof, but the surrounding grass is overgrown, and it seems that no one has lived in it for a long time.

   "Could it be the hunter's foothold?" Duke thought.

  But I don’t think it looks like it. The hunters in the small town don’t dare to go too far into the forest, and it’s just a foothold, so it’s not enough to build such an exquisite wooden house.

   "Is there anything unusual, Xiaoyi?"

   "No abnormality was found in the breathing resonance."

"good!"

  Duke glanced at Xiaodou, who was lazily lying on his shoulder. Obviously, Xiaodou didn't feel any danger.

  He approached the wooden house, and kept chopping off the waist-high dead grass and brambles on the ground with his long sword, and soon opened a road leading to the wooden house.

  Come closer, you can see that the wooden house is not small, and there should be an attic on the top.

  A thick layer of fallen leaves has accumulated around the outside of the house, and the door frame and windows are also covered with cobwebs. It is true that no one has lived in it for a long time.
