Ming turned around and examined the square-shaped hill he was standing on. The entire hill was in the shape of a frustum, narrow on top and wide at the bottom.
He estimated the area of the hilltop to be about the size of four basketball courts. The terrain at the top was quite flat because he was standing on a plaza.
The ground was filled with broken bricks and stones, nothing else.
"This place is pretty good~"
Ming looked around. The nearest hill was at least ten blocks away. Further afield, there were various pyramidal hills of different heights interspersed around. In terms of height and area, they were visibly larger than his hill, with all kinds of crooked buildings piled on top.
Looking back at his own hill, it was smaller and cleaner. A gust of wind could sweep it clean without any effort.
This place was good. He decided to skip the places with ruins on top of the hills. Going there would require various searches to check for safety.
It was very tiring.
The journey was also far, and who knows what might happen later.
It would be better to watch and wait.
Although his hill was only about a hundred meters high, the slope was just right. It was neither easy to climb nor descend, which could provide some defense during a zombie tide.
The only drawback was that there was no shelter from wind and rain, and he would have to make a small nest for himself.
Ming kicked the broken bricks under his feet. It seemed that he couldn't build a house without cement.
Of course, he wouldn't know how to build one anyway.
He didn't have the skills for that.
This was awkward.
Hehe~
At this moment, the sound of zombies came.
Following the sound, Ming found a zombie hanging upside down next to the eastern hilltop.
Its left foot was trapped between two stones.
This was probably a zombie that fell into a fissure after the earthquake and just happened to be caught.
Cheng!
Smelling the scent of fresh flesh, the zombie didn't have time to think before it was shot through the head by a crossbow bolt.
[Killed a Level 3 Common Zombie, Experience +2+0.1, Doomsday Gold +1]
Kill completed.
Ming walked around the hilltop and didn't find any other zombies. It seemed that only that one zombie hadn't fallen into the fissure and had the good luck to be stuck there.
And then it ran into him and was liberated.
At this time, fine rain started to fall from the sky.
Ming raised his hand to catch a few drops of rain. The raindrops contained dust.
It was dirty rain.
It made sense, as the entire world was now filled with dust in the air.
He turned back and looked at his land. The most important thing now was to build a house.
At this point, Da Vinci, who had just woken up again, poked his head out of the pocket on Ming's chest.
After seeing the scene in front of him, he first opened his eyes wide, then retreated back into the pocket.
He continued to sleep.
What a dream, his home was gone.
[Full Channel Broadcast, congratulations to the survivors who can still see this message after the earthquake. Is it more intense than you imagined? But the fact that you're still alive proves that you are the chosen one, the son of good fortune]
[Actually, it would have been enough to run from your shelter to open ground in 5 minutes. Of course, for some folks in the super high-rise, it's indeed a bit hard]
[Let me tell you a joke. Someone was sitting on a crane. He didn't climb down in five minutes and now he's dead. So this joke tells you, don't climb so high when you have nothing to do~]
[Next, we will open the doomsday store for half an hour. There will be some new items in it. After all, the doomsday game is pretty fair, isn't it? Please spend all your money while you're alive]
[Friendly reminder: Once the goods are sold in our store, they will not be refunded]
"..."
The screen of the Doomsday Trading store opened.
Ming clicked on the Doomsday Store and noticed a new building materials category. After clicking in, he felt that the Doomsday Store was indeed earnestly making money fairly.
[Wooden Spike Barricade: Specification 1X1m, price 2 Doomsday Gold]
[Wooden Wall Module: Specification 2X3m, price 3 Doomsday Gold]
[Sheet Iron: 1X1m, price 2 Doomsday Gold]
[Red Brick Wall Module: Specification 2X3m, price 4 Doomsday Gold]
[Barbed Wire Mesh: Specification 1X1m, price 2 Doomsday Gold]
[Wooden Plank: Specification 0.3X1.5m, a set of 10, price 1 Doomsday Gold]
[Wooden Door: Specification 0.7X2m, price 2 Doomsday Gold]
[...]
Ming took out an umbrella from his brain storage, shielding himself from the drizzle, and pondering what he needed to buy.
At this moment, the world chat channel was also bustling.
"Guys, if you put the wooden wall module directly on the ground, a wooden wall will appear. It's like the game 'Minecraft'."
"The stuff in this building shop is too exploitative. I've just got through the first chapter reward of 100 gold coins, plus the ones from killing zombies, it's just about 200 gold coins. Buying building materials is only enough to build a toilet!"
"After the earthquake, my bunker was gone. Luckily I ran fast enough and took enough stuff. Now I'm sheltering from the rain in the ruins. I think I might not make it through the first night."
"Why buy building materials? Some buildings have not completely collapsed yet, and low-rise buildings are still livable. I'm now in a collapsed building in the ruins of a factory. Although the ground is sloping, it's still better than spending doomsday gold coins on those materials."
"Hehe~ Anyway, I've awakened my affinity with water. I have gills on my neck. If it gets too tough, I'll just jump into the nearby river. That'll be my home, and I'll save a lot of money."
"Me too!"
"I would advise you to think twice. I was bitten by a fish, and now I feel dizzy and I want to eat human flesh... Am I doomed too?"
"Why do I feel that everyone should buy professional skills from the Doomsday Store?"
"..."
"Professional skills?"
Ming pondered for a moment, then waved his hand and bought five wooden walls. There's no rush for professional skills, having a shelter from wind and rain is the key.
Then, he placed a wall on the ground according to the instructions and used the fifth board as a roof.
Indeed, he made a toilet with no door.
And, Ming trapped himself inside...
It was a bit awkward.
He clicked on the Doomsday Store again, bought a wooden door, and merged the wooden door module with a wooden wall. Just like that... he made a toilet with a door.
Ming's operation was just to verify how to use these things. Now that he had experience, it was different.
This time, he directly bought a number of wooden walls and red brick wall modules and built a square brick house with a length and width of four meters next to the toilet. To save money, he used wooden boards for the roof of the second floor.
The first floor was empty.
The second floor had windows all around, so the view wasn't greatly affected.
He took a chair out of his brain storage, sat by the window, and looked at the grey world outside. Da Vinci poked his head out from the pocket on his chest and looked outside.
[Your Da Vinci is wondering, is this really a dream? Where is the comfortable big bed? Where is the soft sofa? Ming, tell me, this is just a dream!]
[Your Da Vinci sticks out his tongue, licks your chin, he wants to wake himself up with your stubble... ten seconds later, he understands, this is not a dream, but he is still confused]
"The house is gone, but, I've built a new one, how about that?"
"Isn't it pretty?"
Ming took Da Vinci out of his pocket, placed it in his palm, and walked around the room.
Da Vinci... took a look around and closed its eyes. It didn't seem to have any thoughts.
It's probably quite helpless.
While feeding Da Vinci with the feed worm, Ming looked at the skill category in the Doomsday Store.
He found the option for Travel Hunter and clicked on it.
A list of skills appeared in front of him.
"Good stuff!"
Ming smiled slightly.
[Your Da Vinci thinks your smile is really... indescribable... no wonder you've been single for so long]
"..."
We won't mention this, you're still a good frog!!!
