Chapter 4: Super Strong Sea Tornado! I Have a Full-Level Iron House!
Rachel died in just a breath. A lot of seafood and props were found on her body. Not just her—many items were found on the bodies of the other six people as well.
"Huh..." Shawn took a deep breath to calm his churning stomach, collected the supplies on the ground, and left quickly. There were only seven bloody bodies left on the dim beach...
...
On the beach, Shawn sat in the pit and counted all the supplies he had obtained previously. Apart from the useless gadgets, the biggest gains were a small packet of insect repellent powder, salt, and a spice packet. The effectiveness of the insect repellent powder is still unknown, but salt is of paramount importance!
And under a ten thousand times critical strike, whether it's seafood or these props, Shawn has tens of thousands of them, so he doesn't have to worry at all!
"Fortunately, the other party didn't get any hot weapons..." Shawn secretly rejoiced. The reason why he didn't take action directly was that he was afraid Rachel and the others had obtained hot weapons! If he had a rifle, the other party might also have one since they caught so much seafood. Fighting over some seafood isn't worth risking your life.
Shawn didn't intend to kill anyone at the time. After all, he's not an urban killer, nor a reborn boss. Killing people directly is still stressful for him. Since the other party said that there was still a lot of seafood left, Shawn planned to play it safe first and wait for the opportunity to take revenge. But these guys kept saying they had more. They took away all the hairs?!
As the saying goes, leave a way out for others so that you can meet again in the future. He didn't want to cause trouble, but the other party came up with a plan to wipe out the whole family?! Fed up, he then hid behind a rock and shot them all!
Shawn's stomach churned when he thought of how the seven people looked before they died. He quickly dispelled the images in his mind and took out a piece of chewing gum to calm himself.
At this time, the sky was gradually brightening. But many people discovered that the sky in the distance was covered with dark clouds, and the sea was not as calm as yesterday, with huge waves!
"Let's go find seafood while the tide is receding!" People got up from the pit and left in groups of three or five. Shawn walked towards the dense forest, intending to test the effectiveness of the insect repellent powder.
However, it didn't take long before a series of exclamations on the beach attracted everyone's attention.
"Hey, what is that?!"
Following the direction pointed by one person, the survivors on the island all looked towards the distant sea. It can be seen on the horizon in the distant sky—a long white line connects heaven and earth, very spectacular!
"Hiss!!!"
"What the hell! A dragon sucking water?!"
Shawn quickly took out the telescope and adjusted the magnification to watch. There were dark clouds, lightning, and thunder in the sky above the waterspout. You can vaguely see thin branches on the surrounding islands being sucked into the tornado.
"Trees?" Shawn looked puzzled as he observed intently. Suddenly, his pupils shrank. "Is this a tree that was uprooted?!"
The people around finally knew what it was through the time traveler chat box!
"It's a large sea tornado!!!"
"The island ahead has been destroyed! So many people died!!"
"Run!!!"
In an instant, screams broke out all over the beach! After hesitating for a moment, everyone rushed into the dense forest with stone axes and tools! If you can find a hiding place like a cave in the mountains, maybe you can still escape! If you stay on the beach without a fixed area to shelter from the wind, you will be swept away!
The crowd rushed forward, armed with weapons, into the woods to clear a path. Shawn landed behind the crowd and smeared the insect repellent powder in his hand all over from bottom to top. At the same time, he observed the ground, and if he saw any bugs, he would sprinkle some to see the effect...
In the dense forest.
"Ah!!! There's a poisonous snake!!"
"This... this is a killer spider! Everyone stay away! One bite of it can kill an elephant!"
A series of screams frightened the survivors in the forest and made them look even more panicked. But the sea breeze had already blown into the forest, so no one dared to stop!
Suddenly, a young man covered in dust rushed out of the crowd like a warrior holding a stone axe. Even though there were poisonous insects in the forest, he didn't care and ran all the way!
Seeing that the crowd ahead was getting crowded, Shawn shouted: "Everyone, get out of my way! I'll explore the way!!!"
"Good boy, so fierce!"
"Who is this person?!" Everyone quickly made way, their faces full of admiration!
Some girls were attracted by Shawn's handsome and determined appearance. In a world full of dangers, there is actually such a fearless hero?!
"You dare to run around at this time, maybe you are crazy?!"
"It's possible... forget about it, hurry up and catch up!" Seeing him running away, everyone ran away.
Shawn ran wildly all the way, holding the insect repellent powder in his hands and throwing it back and forth, like a third-rate master in the underworld. Poisonous insects avoided him wherever he passed. He was unmatched!
After some experiments, he found that this insect repellent powder is very effective! No matter what kind of bug it gets on, it will run away. Even the serpent's tongue would tremble and foam at the mouth after smelling it.
"If we hide in the cave, the tornado will cause the mountain to collapse and block the cave..." Shawn looked at the mountain in front of him while running wildly, feeling worried. It would be dangerous if you suffocate!
"Let's get out of this first!" Putting aside his worries, Shawn rushed into the dense forest and ran towards the mountain, while paying attention to the content of the [chat box], hoping that Tornado would turn around.
However, one piece of information made his eyes light up:
[Ben Thompson: Is there anyone selling house fragments? One piece can be exchanged for 20 sea crucian carps! 5 starfish!]
[Chris Bowers: I am the CEO of Paradise Real Estate! I buy house fragments and provide food forever! Businessmen focus on integrity!]
[George Bailey: I am the mayor of Canglong City. I am still short of three pieces of house fragments! If any comrades would like to lend a helping hand, I will personally visit you to thank you after the event is over!]
'House fragments?' Shawn quickly sent a purchase message:
[Shawn: Purchase house fragments, 50 stone crabs, 2 octopuses! A bag of salt, a bottle of 250 ml mineral water!]
The amount of food is neither too much nor too little, but a packet of salt and mineral water are the finishing touches!
As expected, as soon as Shawn sent the message, more than 20 messages arrived in his mailbox. Obviously, not every place is prone to waterspouts.
"With so many people collecting debris, it shouldn't be a cabin, otherwise it wouldn't be able to withstand the tornado..." He quickly clicked on it and took a look.
[Island No. 10086 John Carter, a piece of house debris nearby.]
[House fragments: Iron house fragments with a solid foundation, which can withstand the impact of storms, tornadoes, and wild animals. After collecting five pieces, the fusion props will be: an iron house.]
Shawn was delighted, and quickly put the trading items he had sent before on John Carter's email and clicked to agree!
It only took a moment for the other party to agree. When a piece of house debris appeared in his backpack, the system prompt sounded as expected:
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a piece of house fragment. Triggering a 10,000-fold critical hit will get: 10,000 pieces of house fragments!]
Shawn quickly took five pieces of fragments and clicked to synthesize them, and a tin house model appeared in his backpack.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for triggering a 10,000-fold critical hit and obtaining 10,000 iron house models.]
"Oh my goodness, this is possible?" Shawn grinned. I didn't expect that the synthesis could trigger a 10,000-fold critical hit!
Seeing that the mountain road was uneven and he could not put down the ladder, he turned and ran towards an open space not far away.
"Run! The wind is getting stronger!!!"
"Hurry! Even the poisonous insects have escaped through holes. We need to find a cave to hide in!!"
Phew~!!! The strong sea breeze made the leaves rustle. Even more rain fell from the sky. Many of the fish fell onto the island. The panicked crowd didn't care about the seafood on the ground and were blown all over the place. Now they just want to find a safe area where they can be sheltered from the wind.
The wind was getting stronger and stronger. Even in the forest, there were sounds of branches breaking with a loud crackling sound!
"Such a strong wind!" Shawn squinted his eyes while hugging the big tree, not daring to continue looking for an open space and wasting time. He quickly observed the surroundings and confirmed that there was an open area. He then quickly opened his character's backpack and pointed:
☞[Place the tin house]!
Swish! A gray house with a triangular roof appeared beside him. Without hesitation, Shawn grabbed the door handle, opened the door with difficulty, and rushed in.
Bang!!! The door was slammed shut by the strong wind.
"Huh~...finally safe!" Shawn, lying on the ground, breathed a sigh of relief. Wiping off a cold sweat, he looked around and found that the house was only 10 square meters, with only one bed, one bench, and one dining table.
Bang~! Bang! A series of broken branches hit the roof with a loud noise, but fortunately, the tin house was strong enough.
Looking up at the rooftop, Shawn suddenly saw a message:
[Tips: The current Tin House is level 1, and can be upgraded to level 2 using 100 pieces of fragments: Super Tin House (highest level)]
[Super Iron House: Defense, space, weight, foundation firmness, each improved tenfold! Small functions: solar charging, fingerprint authentication door opening and closing, water heater...]
"Can it be upgraded?!" Shawn was filled with surprise and directly took out hundreds of [House Fragments] and used them with one click!
Brush~! The entire iron house trembled slightly, and the space expanded instantly. The sound of branches hitting the roof became fainter.
"I feel so safe!" Shawn stood up with a smile, looked around, and walked towards the bathroom. Coming to a new environment these two days is really tiring. Just in time for a hot bath, a meal, and a good sleep!
