Chapter 36 - Two wooden houses

"How can I let you warriors continue to sleep in the wild!"

Looking at the open space inside the fence, Xiao Yi decided to build two wooden houses on the south side of the small warehouse.

The stone house was located by the five rice paddies and was not far from the apartment. He placed the idle single beds and the newly made beds in the wooden houses one by one. The double bed was placed in the larger stone house because the small wooden houses couldn't accommodate it.

Seeing this, Yuan Nong smiled and said, "We finally have a place to stay!"

Xiao Yi responded with a smile, "The stone house is for you. An Yue and Jiang Yuntian will live in the wooden houses."

"I don't need such a spacious place. Let Jiang Yuntian have the stone house. He has a young child with him." Yuan Nong suggested.

"You're right. However, the stone house is close to the fields. Junjun can rest in the apartment." Xiao Yi said.

"The location doesn't matter. Every place is not far from the fields." Yuan Nong replied.

"Alright. The three of you can discuss and allocate it yourselves." Xiao Yi said.

After handling the matter of the fierce tiger, An Ran came and asked, "What about me and Su Wan?"

"You two will stay in the apartment, and I'll sleep in the hall." Xiao Yi replied.

"How can that be? If there are no extra rooms, I'll stay in the hall with Su Wan." An Ran said.

Xiao Yi said helplessly, "Don't be so polite with me!"

"You've been tired all day. How can you keep sleeping on the sofa?" An Ran said firmly.

Su Wan also stepped forward and agreed, "That's right."

Seeing that the two of them were in agreement, Xiao Yi was surprised and asked, "Have you discussed this?"

"Of course. We, the logistics people, shouldn't always occupy the best resources." An Ran explained.

"Alright. Let's discuss it at night." Xiao Yi waved his hand.

"Woof! Woof! Woof!" Wang Cai rushed over and barked at Xiao Yi.

Frowning, Xiao Yi said, "Is Brother Jiang in danger?"

Then he picked up the long knife and the iron spear and ran towards Jiang Yuntian with Wang Cai!

"Can Xiao Yi understand what the dog is saying?" Su Wan widened her eyes.

"Maybe after getting along for a long time, they understand each other's thoughts." An Ran guessed.

When Xiao Yi arrived at where Jiang Yuntian was, he saw him sitting on the ground, his body spasming continuously!

"What's going on!" Xiao Yi asked hastily.

"Electricity, electricity..." Jiang Yuntian stammered.

"Could it be the eel again?" Xiao Yi looked towards the sea, frowning.

A huge, flat black fish was constantly attacking the foundation stone.

"Electric Ray (Level B): It can generate electricity and hurt people. The voltage is usually between 75 and 80 volts, and it can reach up to 200 volts. Note that this fish is at Level B, and its highest voltage can reach 1000 volts!"

"It's a natural generator!" Xiao Yi widened his eyes and a thought flashed through his mind.

So he pulled out the iron spear and stabbed at it.

Only the spearhead of the iron spear was made of iron, and the spear handle was made of wood, which was equivalent to an insulator.

Although the electric ray was a Level B sea beast, it was not very agile. It was stabbed by Xiao Yi's spear and lifted up.

There was also a dagger stuck in the electric ray. Xiao Yi thought that Jiang Yuntian must have stabbed it with the dagger first, so he was electrocuted!

The electric ray was stabbed on the spearhead and kept discharging. However, the electric arc only circled around the spearhead and couldn't reach Xiao Yi.

At this time, Jiang Yuntian gradually recovered and managed to stand up and walk.

"What is this thing?" Jiang Yuntian was still trembling slightly, and the image of Zhao Si appeared in his mind.

"An electric ray. If you weren't physically strong, you would have been electrocuted to death!" Xiao Yi smiled and said, "Come on, let's go back first."

Xiao Yi carried the electric ray and rushed back to the apartment. He ordered, "Stop what you're doing and dig a pit about the size of the fish!"

Everyone immediately started working and dug a pit with a diameter of about three meters and a depth of one meter according to Xiao Yi's instructions.

An Yue brought several buckets of seawater and poured it into the pit.

Xiao Yi shook the tip of the spear, and the electric ray fell into the pit.

The electric ray, which had regained its freedom, started attacking the foundation stone again, but its offensive had greatly weakened.

It had been stabbed by Jiang Yuntian's dagger and had been lifted in the air by Xiao Yi for a long time, almost suffocating!

Xiao Yi used the spear to pick out Jiang Yuntian's dagger and handed it to him. Blood was flowing from the two wounds on the electric ray.

Looking at the electric ray, Xiao Yi whispered, "Let's see how perceptive you are!"

He took out the S-class pure water from the apartment and poured it into the pit. The dying electric ray immediately became active. Ignoring the foundation stone, it drank the S-class pure water greedily.

Soon, the electric ray regained its vitality. It stopped attacking the foundation stone and just swam in the pit, as if looking for water of the same quality.

Xiao Yi made a copper wire, wrapped it with a wooden board, and then wrapped a layer of plastic outside the wooden board.

Since it was short, not much material was used.

Finally, he connected the copper wire to the input port of the super battery.

Xiao Yi touched the electric ray with the handle of the iron spear, and the electric ray immediately discharged.

From the input data of the super battery, Xiao Yi clearly saw that the power generation of the electric ray was equivalent to the daily output of the wind turbine!

"Not bad!" Xiao Yi poured some S-class pure water, and the electric ray drank it happily.

When he touched it again, the electric ray discharged again, and he poured water again.

After repeating this several times, the electric ray seemed to understand that it needed to generate electricity for him in order to get the pure water that could help it evolve.

From then on, without Xiao Yi touching it, it would take the initiative to discharge.

"Very good. Your perception is commendable. I'll give you S-class pure water every day. You just need to obediently generate electricity and not attack the island's foundation!" Xiao Yi said happily.

At this time, Jiang Yuntian had fully recovered and said, "This electric ray has a really strong electric power!"

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked it to help generate electricity." Xiao Yi smiled.

"Alright. I'll go and monitor the sea beasts." Jiang Yuntian said and walked towards the small wooden boat by the sea.

"Xiao Yi, we've collected 3000 units of plastic. Should we continue?" Su Wan checked the trading hall and found that the water and sea fish that had been put on the shelves before had all been traded.

"We still need 2000 units. Keep collecting, but there's no need to rush." Xiao Yi replied.

3000 units of plastic were enough to build greenhouses for three plots of land. The remaining two plots could be done slowly.

Su Wan nodded and continued to put plain water and sea fish on the shelves.

She made plastic film from 3000 units of plastic, with a total area of 300 square meters, and covered the three plots of land.

Added wooden supports and spread hay, and the simple greenhouse was completed.

"Great craftsmanship!" Xiao Yi looked at the greenhouse built by Yuan Nong and gave a thumbs-up.

"Not bad. I haven't lost the skills I had when I was young." Yuan Nong smiled. Then he said worriedly, "But the temperature is dropping really fast!"

On the Jianghu notice board, the cries for warm things were getting louder and louder!

"I'm willing to trade the foundation stone for warm clothes, along with quilts!"

"I'm also willing to trade the foundation stone. If anyone has extra cold protection equipment, give me some. The Jianghu is in an emergency and needs help urgently!"

"God, I'm willing to use all my resources. This cold is really unbearable!"

"Without a down jacket, I won't be able to get through this winter!"

"Everyone, stop making a fuss. It's useless. No one knows how this cold winter will rage. Those who have warm things won't give them out easily. It's more reliable to reinforce the wooden houses and light a campfire!"

"That's right. That's all we can do!"

"Wait for the matter of getting fire. I was careless and burned the tent to the ground!"

"Warrior upstairs, build a wooden shed quickly. Otherwise, you'll be the first to fall under the frost!"

"Sigh. The wooden shed needs to be built more spacious, otherwise it will also be swallowed by the flames! I'm busy repairing it now."

Xiao Yi looked at the sun that gave no warmth and sighed, "This winter is probably extremely cold!"

Yuan Nong nodded and replied, "So I plan to plant more rice in the last two days. As for the other vegetables, it depends on the situation."

Xiao Yi knew that time was urgent and there had to be some trade-offs.

"Alright. It's up to you to decide everything!" Xiao Yi said, "By the way, we'll go into the forest together when we have a chance to see if we can find some winter food."

"Okay. In the afternoon. I need to take care of the things in the fields in the morning." Yuan Nong replied.

"Good!"

They got up early in the morning and had been busy until now. Everyone hadn't had breakfast yet. However, they had a big meal last night, and it was just right to move around to help with digestion.

At half past ten in the morning, An Ran finally called everyone back for a meal.

After a morning of hard work, everyone was hungry.

When Jiang Yuntian came back from outside, Xiao Yi asked, "How many times did you encounter sea beasts this morning?"

"Nine times!" Jiang Yuntian replied.

Everyone knew that Xiao Yi was asking about the number of sea beast attacks on the island. Hearing this number, everyone was shocked.

"Why is it so frequent?" An Ran asked in surprise.
