Chapter 38: The Mountain Collapsed!
One o’clock in the afternoon.
The Live Stream Room reopened.
First, what came into view was a dense rain.
The torrential rain seemed to give everyone’s vision a blurry effect, only allowing them to see about ten meters away, and further away was a large expanse of hazy water vapor.
Within the water vapor, a human figure could be vaguely seen.
The camera zoomed in, and it was Qi Xuan, wearing a self-made raincoat.
He wasn’t in the lean-to that had been repaired and reinforced, as everyone had expected.
Instead, he was standing on a high ground not far from the lean-to, holding a small tree as thick as a bowl in his arms, slightly raising his head to look straight ahead, and the Live Stream Room could only see his cold, stern jawline.
“What is he doing? Cosplay?”
“Cosplaying who? Cosplaying Lin Daiyu? Uprooting a willow tree?”
“Damn it, still cosplaying in such a heavy rain? One look and I can tell, he’s cosplaying too much.”
“Go back quickly, Streamer, in case a lightning bolt strikes down, the consequences would be unimaginable.”
“Qi God must have a reason for standing outside, just watch.”
……
At first, the netizens didn’t know what Qi Xuan was doing.
But soon, he moved.
The small tree in his arms was suddenly thrust forward.
The next second, accompanied by a rumbling roar, a large tree rolled over, and he deflected it on the spot, causing it to deviate from its course and roll to the left, away from the lean-to behind.
Seeing this scene, the netizens all reacted.
What the hell is cosplay?
This is a lean-to defense battle!
Compared to the morning, it’s an enhanced and upgraded version.
After all, in the morning, it was just a struggle against the rain and the stability of the lean-to itself.
In the afternoon, he had to directly resist the large trees and other rolling objects that were washed away by the torrential rain.
The difficulty of the two was completely different.
This is simply using the power of an ant to fight against the great power of nature!
Not having time to care about what the audience in the Live Stream Room was thinking, Qi Xuan focused all his attention on the movements on the slope.
In fact, the location of the Shelter he chose was already quite good.
He didn’t encounter any problems during the heavy rain all day yesterday.
He even slept soundly in the white noise of the rain at night.
However, after a day and a half of impact, some of the large trees on the slope unexpectedly couldn’t hold up.
Now, there are occasionally trees uprooted and branches broken in half, rolling down from above.
Under normal circumstances, when encountering this kind of danger, one should choose to abandon the lean-to and move to a safe place.
But the problem is, he had only been here for a few days after the transmigration, and he hadn’t figured out the surrounding environment yet. Under the special circumstances of such extreme torrential rain, he didn’t know where was safe at all, and it was possible to encounter a Monster if he wasn’t careful.
And even if he retreated to a place that could barely be described as safe, what about the Shelter?
Building a lean-to from scratch is much more difficult than patching up an existing one.
Not to mention building it in this extremely exaggerated torrential rain.
After much deliberation, Qi Xuan decided to stay in place and guard the only lean-to.
When he really couldn’t hold on, it would still be in time to retreat.
Fortunately, there weren’t many large trees on this slope, and even if they were all washed away by the torrential rain, he estimated that he could successfully stop them.
It’s just that the torrential rain outside was too exaggerated, and the raindrops hitting his body made a crackling sound. The strong force was estimated to be able to knock ordinary people down on the spot, but for his trained body, it was just like a massage.
Harmless.
Qi Xuan shuttled back and forth on the slope, occasionally deflecting the path of the rolling logs, causing them to deviate. His stylish footwork and agile movements immediately sparked a wave of heated discussion in the Live Stream Room:
“Damn, Qi God’s arm strength, he can press me on the bed with one hand oh oh.”
“The impact force of this tree rolling down is at least a few hundred catties… He can actually deflect it?”
“Let me give you some science: this is called ‘using four ounces to deflect a thousand catties’, Qi God has mastered the wisdom of the ancestors!”
“Humans are evolving, but they’re not taking me with them, are they? This reaction speed is simply predicting the trajectory of the tree in advance.”
“I bet five cents, there will definitely be a thicker tree coming down in the next second! Qi God, find cover quickly!”
“Others seek survival: hide in a cave and gnaw on tree bark. Qi Xuan seeks survival: take the initiative to attack and confront natural disasters!”
……
However, as time went on, Qi Xuan’s expression gradually became serious.
Because in addition to the rolling trees on the mountain, there was also a large amount of rainwater converging into a Flood washing down.
He had to find a way to dig trenches on the ground and quickly divert the Flood.
Until he was covered in sweat, the Flood pouring down the slope was barely diverted, so that it wouldn’t endanger the lean-to directly below.
However, before he could rest, a Huge Stone mixed with mud and water rolled down with a loud crash.
Amidst the rumbling sound, Qi Xuan’s expression suddenly changed, and he suddenly threw himself to the side.
Although he was covered in mud and water, and even his raincoat was torn in large pieces, he finally avoided the crushing of the Huge Stone.
It was just that what made Qi Xuan feel particularly heartbroken was that the Huge Stone brushed against a corner of the lean-to when it rolled down, and crushed that corner on the spot.
Along with it, the entire lean-to tilted inward due to the impact of the Huge Stone, and the overall structure became loose, looking as if it would collapse at any moment.
Qi Xuan hurried forward to make repairs, straightened the frame, strengthened the support, and even planned to repair the corner that was smashed.
The netizens, seeing this scene, couldn’t help but feel heartbroken:
“It’s too difficult, it’s really too difficult! Just to have a place to live, why is it so difficult?”
“Are the natural disasters on the Floating Continent so outrageous? Is this really a place humans can go?”
“Qi God has done enough, but in the face of the great power of nature, human power is really too small.”
“Qi God’s process of fighting against disasters, isn’t it a microcosm of the ancestors of mankind conquering nature through hardship? Come on, Qi God, we all support you!”
“Ah ah ah! I’m really anxious to death watching this! How great it would be if the country could deploy equipment to provide support?!”
……
However, in the face of the cold and cruel natural disasters, the situation couldn’t get any worse.
Just as Qi Xuan was busy repairing the collapsed part of the lean-to, a shocking explosion suddenly came from the top of the slope, followed by continuous rumbling sounds, which grew louder and more urgent. Even the audience in the Live Stream Room, across the dense rain, could see the terrifying scene happening in the distance at this moment.
The mountain collapsed!
The broken Huge Stones rolled down, a large amount of sand and Rock Body, mixed with a violent Flood, came crushing down like a blanket, and everything was destroyed wherever it passed.
Qi Xuan was only stunned for a moment before he woke up suddenly. Facing the terrifying disaster mixed with Mudslide and Landslide, he didn’t say a word, and exerted all his strength, desperately running towards a high ground on the side.
However, before he could run far, he suddenly stumbled under his feet and fell to the ground on the spot.
Following the next second, the Live Stream Room was instantly closed.
