Chapter 7: An Unexpected Visitor

The temperature of the flame quickly radiates throughout the room.

Chen Ye stacked the remaining fire dragon wood in the corner of the second floor, as far away from the fire source as possible.

lest you accidentally splash some sparks and burn down the safe house that you have worked so hard to build.

After tidying up the living room, Chen Ye returned to the fireplace, opened a heavy can, and put it on the fire to heat it.

As the broth began to gurgle and bubble, the whole room was filled with the aroma of braised beef.

While the can was heating up, he took some crocodile shark meat out of the storage space.

Cut the meat into pieces with sharp rock chips and skewer them on sharpened branches.

There was no salt, pepper or anything like that, so he took the grilled crocodile shark meat, dipped it in the broth in the can, and devoured it.

I have to say that the alligator shark meat is better than expected.

It tastes a bit like a free-range chicken that has been raised by a farmer for two and a half years.

The meat is very firm and the fiber is relatively coarse.

The taste is close to the usual river fresh, with a faint fishy smell, but it does not affect the overall flavor.

Chen Ye was really hungry, half a catty of beef and two catties of crocodile shark meat in one go.

After drinking another half bottle of electrolyte water, I burped with satisfaction and lay down on the back of the wooden sofa, revealing a comfortable expression.

However, unlike Chen Ye, who was in the watchtower, many people's safe houses could not stop the storm.

The disadvantage of teleporting to the forest at the beginning is reflected at this time.

Heavy rains caused flash floods, which carried a lot of mud and sand and gravel down, destroying and burying everything that passed through.

There are also some unlucky people who have escaped the impact of the mudslide for the time being, but because they have built the safe house on the tree, they have become a living lightning rod.

With the rolling thunder that resounded through the sky, a dazzling lightning bolt fell from the sky.

The instantaneous heat of 20,000 degrees directly burned people and houses into charcoal.

Although the island has few resources compared to forests, it has unique advantages in the event of certain natural disasters.

Of course, as long as there are no tsunamis or hurricanes.

Otherwise, even if it is a watchtower, it will not be able to withstand such violent destruction.

At this time, all kinds of distress voices are constantly refreshed on the world channel.

Those people were either crying hoarsely or cursing in despair at this damn apocalyptic world.

But no matter what, no one will save them.

In the apocalypse, in the face of natural disasters, everyone can be at risk.

There are even some adventurers who are in a safe place, chatting about today's harvest in the channel, ignoring the crying guys the whole time.

In this case, many good people have come forward to accuse them of being indifferent and ruthless.

But it's just accusations.

Because once these great benevolent people are asked to take action and provide a rescue force, then they will not say a word.

Some thin-skinned guys will be so anxious that they will scold, which really makes people laugh when they think about it.

Chen Ye squinted his eyes and skimmed over the demonic cows and horses in the chat channel, looking for useful information.

At this time, he saw a guy named [Yao Guixi] who sent a long voice call for help.

It sounded like he was desperately trying to escape, and his speech was intermittent and he couldn't breathe.

The general meaning of the voice is that there is something strange in the forest besides the flooding caused by the torrential rain.

Chen Ye chatted directly with Yao Guixi privately, wanting to know about the situation in the forest, so that he could explore in depth tomorrow.

As a result, less than three seconds after the message of inquiry was sent, the other party's name was directly grayed.

Immediately after, a system prompt pops up on the private chat interface:

【Adventurer (Yao Guixi) is dead】

"Ah, that's probably none of my business, right?"

Chen Ye immediately turned off the world channel and sat in front of the fireplace as if nothing had happened.

can only say that Yao Guixi is all to blame for his bad luck......

Minutes and seconds passed.

At this time, Chen Ye was still fighting in the hunting bureau of Apex, or chatting with sailors.

Now all he saw was a burning fireplace.

It's a bit hard to have no electronic devices to soothe the empty spirit.

When burning, the dragon wood emits a faint fragrance, and it seems to have a calming effect.

After sitting for a while, I yawned again and again, and sleepiness hit me like a tide.

Before traveling to this world, Chen Ye lived in a city with extremely serious involution.

In order to be a good game anchor and make more money, he tried his best to make the show effect.

Although it attracted a lot of fans, it gradually drained its enthusiasm.

No one wants to be a clown, but a deflated wallet has to make people bow their heads.

Gradually, Chen Ye's physical and mental state became extremely poor, and he often suffered from insomnia until dawn.

But at this moment, under the light of the fire, in such a warm and comfortable environment, he actually fell asleep.

Whether it was the noisy and impetuous magical world before, or this apocalyptic world full of danger and unknown, he left it behind and turned into a phantom in a dream.

I don't know how long it took like this.

A deafening thunder woke up the sleeping Chen Ye.

He quickly got up and opened the bed to observe the situation outside.

In the dark sky, thunder was still rolling.

It's just that the storm isn't as violent as it first started.

Chen Ye rubbed his temples and opened the construction interface.

Consumes one unit of wood to create ten oversized tubs.

Each tub is 160 cm long, 70 cm wide and 80 cm high.

It can hold up to 896 litres of fresh water, enough for an adult man to squander for a week.

Chen Ye opened the door and placed the bath bucket neatly in the open space outside in the rain.

The inside of the tub is also pressed with some heavy basalt so that it will not be hung up by the wind later.

Even if the storm has weakened a lot, it is still majestic.

Standing in the middle of the island, you can clearly hear the roar of the waves crashing against the reef.

Chen Ye quickly finished placing the bath bucket around the small watchtower, and then turned around to return to the safe house.

But at this moment, he suddenly made a faint cry for help in the rain.

"Help......

"Help me!"

Chen Ye's back was cold.

It can't be the same man again, right?

Is it still haunted?

Without saying a word, he picked up a stone and tiptoed in the direction from which the sound had come from.

It was dark, but from time to time thunder and lightning swept across the canopy, providing a brief burst of light.

Chen Ye discerned the direction of the sound source, and groped all the way to the edge of the island where the two alien beasts had fought before.

The waves crashed against the broken reef, splashing clusters of snow-white spray.

As the blue-purple lightning swept overhead, Chen Ye, who was leaning forward, was suddenly startled.

I saw a vague shadow, lying in the gravel of the island.

"Ask for ...... Please, help me! ”

When the other party saw the visitor, he immediately raised his voice and pleaded in a hoarse voice.

Chen Ye narrowed his eyes slightly and grabbed the stone in his hand.

Another human?
