Jiang Yao nodded: "It's really drought that dies of drought, flood that dies of flood."
Shen Bing nodded: "Yeah, in the past 30 years, tens of thousands of people in Southeast Asia have died because of the El Niño phenomenon."
Tang Xiaoguo said worriedly: "What should we do!"
Lu Zhe thought for a moment: "First of all, we must ensure adequate fresh water supply as much as possible. Then think of ways to lower the temperature, whether it's ourselves or crops."
"It would be great if we had an air conditioner!"
"Don't mention the air conditioner. Having a fan would be a blessing."
Lu Zhe also believed that the focus of their near-term work must shift from base construction to dealing with high temperatures.
If the 40 degrees high temperature persists for some days without a solution, everyone may really face danger.
"We still have to continue looking for ant holes, and strive to build a reservoir as soon as possible, otherwise we'll have to move and settle by the lake."
Lin Qianqian said: "Moving there is also possible!"
"I don't know how many mosquitoes and insects this hot weather will breed, and various wild animals will also approach the lake to escape the heat. I don't recommend living there unless it's unavoidable."
"Fruit, hurry up and eat something. Let's set off early while it's still cool!"
Tang Xiaoguo said: "Okay!"
The two entered the jungle from another direction. Continue to look for ant holes.
They were very lucky this time. Lu Zhe found three ant holes in the morning.
But these were still not enough to make an ideal reservoir.
However, they were very fortunate to pick up a trash can on their way back from the beach.
It wasn't the kind of trash can used in offices, but a large blue trash can for residential garbage sorting!
It had unfamiliar words on it, but from the color and logo, it could be easily inferred that this was originally used to hold recyclable garbage.
It was about 1.3 meters tall, wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, square with a lid, and no wheels at the bottom.
Although worn, there were no leaks at the top or bottom. Judging by the size, the volume was estimated to be about 200 kg of water.
This was a top-notch material for Lu Zhe. He hurriedly washed it clean and took it back to use as a water tank.
With this, building a 10-ton capacity reservoir would allow them to last a considerable period of time even if the creek dried up.
After returning in the afternoon, Lu Zhe immediately started building the pond.
First dig a pit next to the ditch!
The soil was probably loose. It was easy to dig out a 3.5-meter circular pit!
Then get a lot of bamboo.
Split the thick ones into bamboo strips, and use the thin ones directly!
Then insert bamboo sticks at the bottom of the circular pit, and tie them horizontally together!
Bamboo could be a very good alternative to rebar in the absence of rebar.
After tying a circle of bamboo strips, he started pouring the base!
Crush the ant hole material and mix it with clay, pour it directly into the bottom of the circular pit to form a 10 cm thick cement layer.
After waiting for it to dry, he jumped in with Xiaoguo and started applying cement on the bamboo strips.
Soon, a circular reservoir was made.
But water could not be poured in directly yet, waterproofing was still needed.
And this required a lot of resin oil.
Lu Zhe looked at the time and shook his head helplessly: "I'm afraid it's not possible today, but our gains today are quite big. At least the embryo of the pond has been made."
Tang Xiaoguo nodded: "What's next? You've been working all day without spending any time with me?"
Lu Zhe smiled: "How can you say that? Didn't I spend the whole day working with you?"
"That doesn't count. You gave Qianqian such a big bouquet, but didn't give me anything today. I don't care, I want a gift!"
Lu Zhe nodded and handed over the trash can: "How about this, I'll give it to you as a bathtub, okay?"
Tang Xiaoguo looked at it blankly for a moment, and said sadly: "You gave Qianqian a bouquet of fresh flowers! You gave me a trash can to put me in?? Little Brother Zhe, could it be that you see me as trash!"
Lu Zhe was stunned: "That was careless of me! Xiaoguo, this is really a misunderstanding, I really feel this is suitable for you to take a bath."
Tang Xiaoguo pouted sadly, looking like she was about to cry: "You must...not like me! That's why you implied it with a trash can!"
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
【Prologue: The Beginning of It All – Use holy water to heal the saintess tainted by demonic energy, then converse with her.】 Shen Nian stared at his older sister sipping yogurt, lost in thought.

Titles even boost stats? Is this for real? (A lighthearted, absurd campus comedy—not a revenge power fantasy.)
] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress?

As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
