El Nino Is Coming

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!"

The Day I Died, the Whole Sect Watched My Senior Sister Go on a Rampage

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
