Natural disaster at the beginning: I will lead the system to build a safe zone

Although the wildfire was put out, the matter was not over.

The first thing is to calculate the losses after the disaster.

Because of the timely response in the early stage, Shi Anan led the villagers to dig a fire-prevention isolation belt away from the terraces and houses before the wildfire completely burned over. Although some of the fire was eventually blown over by the wind, because it was just the spring plowing season, the impact on the crops in the fields was not that great.

However, some of the terraces have been trampled down and need to be re-shaped by repairing the ridges.

The terraced fields were fine, and there were no major problems with the houses either. However, a few pigs in the farm probably couldn't stand the thick smoke and were suffocated to death.

Although he felt deep sympathy for these pigs, he did not want them to be wasted. Shi Anan asked the villagers to kill the pigs and give each household a piece of the pigs.

A total of 10 villagers from Guangming Village died in this wildfire. Among them, 6 people were in poor health and died of underlying diseases due to heavy smoke and the fatigue of firefighting. The remaining 4 people were unlucky and their clothes were caught by the flames, and they were burned all over their bodies. Even with the use of the best special burn ointment, it still could not prevent skin necrosis and infection and they died.

Just as Shi Anan said, the village held a grand funeral for those villagers who died while fighting the wildfire, and engraved their names on a stone tablet. This is a stone tablet that every villager in Guangming Village must remember in the future.

Because of the forest fire, Shi Anan's original plan to go to the back mountain to explore for mining sites was temporarily shelved. Although the back mountain was almost flattened by the falling meteorite, no one had ever been to the deep forest, and no one knew what was inside.

And if there is a flame that has not been completely extinguished, it would be dangerous to go now.

But Shi Anan had no plans to stay in Guangming Village any longer. The development of Guangming Village had temporarily entered the right track. As long as it followed the established procedures, the rest was just a matter of time.

The biggest problem she faces is how to complete the main task.

Whether it is to form a security team or upgrade the village, what is needed is people. After this disaster, the population of Guangming Village, which was already small, has been further reduced. She can no longer wait for people to come to her automatically.

The location of Guangming Village is remote. It is estimated that except for the people of Changle Village, many people in the village don’t even know that there is a Guangming Village deep in the mountains.

Now the people of Changle Village have all gone to Guangming Village together. Even if there are other villages coming in this direction, they will probably go to Changle Village and find that the place has become a ruin and will not go any deeper.

Therefore, if she continues to stay in Guangming Village and does not go out, she will fall into a state of isolation, unaware of the situation outside. As time goes by, she will feel that the people in Guangming Village may be the only ones left in this world. After all, these waves of natural disasters have left people with no chance to catch their breath.

This was a scary thought, so since no one else would come, she would just go out and see what the town was like.

Although she had made a plan, she didn't intend to leave immediately. After all, the village had just experienced a major disaster, and she was everyone's spiritual pillar.

Xiao Yi's condition recovered quickly, he was a strong man.

After going through so much, he has become more open-minded. As long as his mother, brother and Shi An'an are all well, he has nothing else to ask for.

When Shi Anan came to find him, he was concentrating on studying the drawings of Zhuge Crossbow.

"Little beauty!" Shi Anan shouted. She didn't know why, but when she saw Xiao Yi now, she could always remember how he gently comforted her that night. She seemed to be becoming more and more dependent on him.

Xiao Yi looked up when he heard the voice, and when he saw it was Shi Anan, a smile appeared on his face: "Are you done with the village affairs?"

Shi Anan shook her head. How could she finish her work? She just wanted to take a break from her busy schedule to come here and tell him about her plan.

"There are so many things to do. I came to you to say that we should not go to the back mountain for the time being."

Xiao Yi was puzzled: "Why? Don't you really want to find the salt mine inside?"

Shi Anan lowered her head somewhat dejectedly and said in a muffled voice: "I want to find the salt mine inside, but it's not safe to go in now... I plan to go to the town first."

Xiao Yi thought about it for a moment and guessed what she was thinking: "Want to go see how many people are still alive?"

Shi Anan nodded. She was a little scared. What if everyone outside died? There was no scientific instrument to detect why the meteorite fell. She also didn't know whether it was a local weakening like the previous earthquake or whether the entire continent was affected.

"Okay, don't be afraid, I'll go with you." Xiao Yi said straightforwardly. Even if Shi Anan didn't come to find him, he would go with her. How could he let her go out alone?

"Yeah!" Shi Anan smiled and nodded, then changed the subject and asked, "Hey, are you planning to make the Zhuge Crossbow?"

Xiao Yi nodded and shook his head, and Shi Anan looked at him in confusion.

"Yes, I wanted to make it. I've already roughly figured out the structure, but the arrows have to be made of iron, and our iron currently doesn't reach the strength mentioned above." In fact, the thing can be made, but it's not that powerful, so it's a waste of time.

Shi Anan scratched his head helplessly: "There is no way to improve this iron for the time being. We have to find a coal mine first."

Xiao Yi spread his hands: "So do we need to make a simplified version now, or wait until we find a coal mine?"

"Let's wait until we find the coal mine and then do it. The simple version is too weak. No outsiders will come to Guangming Village in the short term. Traps and walls are enough for dealing with wild animals for the time being." Shi Anan thought for a while and said.

The most important function of the Zhuge Crossbow is to defend cities and camps. Guangming Village is currently located in a remote area, and she has to go out to find people by herself. No one else will come, so this weapon is not so urgent for the time being.

"Okay, by the way, this is for you." Xiao Yi took out another small and exquisite thing from his treasure box.

Shi Anan took it and was a little surprised: "Is this a hidden arrow?"

Xiao Yi nodded: "Yes, this is the plum blossom sleeve arrow, which can hold 6 arrows at a time and can be fired continuously within 30 steps. Your pistol should be very expensive, so take this with you when you go out, for self-defense."

"You are so amazing! You can actually make sleeve arrows, and such a good plum blossom sleeve arrow at that." Shi Anan couldn't let go of the sleeve arrow and fiddled with it. It was indeed as he said, it was very expensive to buy a pistol from the system. After the wildfire, she only had more than a thousand silver coins left, and she couldn't afford a second pistol at all.

Moreover, if you use a pistol, the bullets also need to be exchanged by the system, which is another considerable amount of money.

Xiao Yi took the hidden arrow from her hand and said, "Be careful, don't hurt yourself by accident. Stretch out your hand, I'll put it on you and try it out."

Shi Anan stretched out her hand, and Xiao Yi tied it up carefully for her: "Okay, do you want to try archery?"

"Yeah, yeah!" Shi Anan nodded.

Xiao Yi brought a target and said, "Just try it on it."

At the beginning, Shi Anan had not yet mastered the skills and often missed the target, but her talent in shooting was much better than that in carving. After trying several times, she gradually mastered the technique of using the sleeve arrows.
