Crossing the wilderness to survive, starting with a broken kitchen knife.

When Ge Dalong saw the shared information in the group, he quickly closed the mine and brought back all the manpower and machines. He happened to see Zhang Shi appearing in front of people, and he smiled and felt deeply relieved.

After handling this emergency, Zhang Shi ordered all soldiers to impose martial law, suspend all outbound activities from today, and take turns on duty 24 hours a day. Any disturbance must be reported.

After dinner, the four returned to the fortress and held a meeting regarding the appearance of the zombie wolves. Pipi was very alert today, constantly crouching by the window and looking out.

Ge Dalong sent a screenshot of the speech in the regional chat channel to everyone.

"The appearance of zombie animals is not an isolated case. Other survivors in our area have encountered similar situations. I suspect that this virus has spread throughout the wilderness. Everyone should take extra precautions in the future."

Zhang Shi has been a little worried since the zombie wolf appeared. He took out three muskets and a large bag of ammunition from his backpack and handed them to everyone. Two of them were made of fine steel by Gong Yi, and one was seized from Red Neck.

"I have a vague feeling that the wilderness world is about to change. Everyone, take this thing to protect yourself."

Zhao Feng picked up Redneck's musket, gestured excitedly a few times, and muttered nonchalantly.

"Shi Tou, you're too nervous. The wilderness world is full of wild beasts. Even if a zombie virus breaks out, it will only be a few zombie beasts. Besides, those high-level beasts won't be easily infected. In my opinion, we should do what we need to do. The mining of sulfur and saltpeter cannot be delayed."

Zhang Shi knew Zhao Feng's personality and was too lazy to explain anything to him. He just reminded him again and again not to leave the shelter at will in the next few days.

Late at night, a blood-red moon silently appeared in the sky, dyeing the entire wilderness a blood-red. Zhang Shi was startled awake and looked up at the night sky. A crimson waning moon hung upside down in the sky. The once shining star was directly opposite the blood-red moon, seemingly echoing it, yet also confronting it.

The wilderness world changed dramatically, and most survivors were awakened, staring at the blood-red night sky, either in fear or confusion.

At this moment, a system announcement appeared unexpectedly.

Dear survivors, your perseverance and courage have touched me. I've deliberately added some excitement to the otherwise dull extreme heatwave, and I believe some of you have already experienced it.

Starting tonight, a large number of zombies will be transported to the wilderness. They are bloodthirsty and ruthless, acting solely on instinct. I won't go into detail, as I believe everyone is familiar with the zombie species. However, I still want to remind you that zombies have different levels, and high-level zombies are very difficult to deal with.

[Of course, you can also call this thrilling zombie apocalypse.]

"What the hell is this bullshit system talking about? What zombies? If you dare, come out and fight me one-on-one!"

"Does it think of us as guinea pigs? It can't bear to see us live a good life, so it has to kill us to be satisfied?"

"Hey, I encountered a mad beast during the day. It attacked my shelter crazily. I thought it had rabies. It seems to be the zombie the system mentioned."

When Zhang Shi walked out of the shelter, the most obvious feeling was that the temperature had dropped and the suffocating heat had eased. Zhang Shi took a deep breath to confirm that this was not his illusion.

"Wang Wang!"

Pipi's bark is rapid and deep, and every time it makes such a bark, it means an enemy is attacking.

Zhang Shi quickly climbed onto the wall. The soldiers on duty had already sounded the alarm. The crisp sound woke up the soldiers who were still looking up at the sky, at a loss.

"My Lord, it's an enemy attack. There are so many, so many enemies!"

Zhang Shi activated Dingzhen, and the dark figures in front of him were highlighted. Even Zhang Shi was shocked and speechless.

The plain ahead was suddenly filled with zombies. Each one had a hideous face and bloodshot eyes. Many of the zombies had rotten skin and were leaking disgusting thick water.

They heard noises coming from the direction of the shelter, low growling and moving towards them, and it looked like there were more than a thousand of them.

The most important thing is that zombies keep coming out from the dense forest behind, and the number of zombies is increasing.

Seeing that things were not going well, Zhang Shi shouted loudly towards the inside of the wall.

"Everyone, come up and meet the enemy. Gong Yi, bring up all the explosives, take as many as you can!"

Zhao Feng and the others also saw the howling tide of zombies ahead. This was probably the first time Wu Qing had seen such a grand scene. The disgusting and terrifying faces of the zombies made her face turn slightly pale and she felt a little at a loss.

Zhang Shi looked at the ranks of these zombies. Most of them were ordinary, with only a few being high-level. However, there were too many of them, so Zhang Shi still didn't dare to be careless. He decisively released the Black Mist Guards to slaughter them on the ground.

"Everyone, use all ranged attack methods to stop the zombie tide."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Dazhuang quickly adjusted his team's formation. A dozen assault soldiers took turns firing arrows to stop the zombies. The others coordinated with Wu Qing's thorny vines to carry supplies and equipment to the wall. Gong Yi even obtained a catapult specifically for throwing explosives.

Ge Dalong brought a jar of magic potion and began to release ice cones frantically in front of him. Wu Qing used various incense auras together, activated the ancestral staff, and triggered the fighting totem to bring huge benefits to everyone in the shelter. The small wooden sculpture summoned a giant sunflower and released sunflower seeds towards the place where the zombies were densely populated, harvesting the zombies as ruthlessly as large-caliber artillery shells.

Zhao Feng pulled the heavy crossbow with all his might and fired downwards. Often, a single crossbow arrow could easily penetrate dozens of zombies, stringing the dense swarm of corpses together like a candied haws.

The zombie nest was too dense, so the people in the shelter didn't need to aim at all. They just needed to shoot randomly downwards to hit the zombies. In a blink of an eye, a large number of zombies were hit and annihilated under the powerful firepower.

But the biggest advantage of zombies is that they have no emotions. They are not afraid of injury or death, and only follow the instinct to eat. Even if their bodies are blown to pieces by Zhang Shi's arrow and only a head is left, their greedy mouths still open and close, wanting to devour the fresh flesh and blood in front of them.

Zhao Feng shot several arrows in succession, and all his strength seemed to be drained away. He squatted behind the wall and gasped for breath. He took the well water handed to him by Zhang Shi and drank it in one gulp. His energy slowly recovered.

He pulled out his rifle and pulled the trigger at the zombies trying to climb up the wall. A fire snake shot out from the muzzle, instantly igniting all the zombies in the fan-shaped area in front of him. Their flesh and blood instantly vaporized, becoming fuel for the fire snakes.

There were still many spike traps in the corners of the shelter, and many zombies were trapped in them and struggling constantly. Zhao Feng turned the revolver and fired continuously downwards until all six magazines were empty.

However, every time he killed a zombie, the zombies behind it would rush up to fill the position in front. The tide of zombies seemed endless and he could not kill them all.

Zhao Feng shouted loudly while reloading his gun.

"Stones, there are too many of these things,"

Zhang Shi's face was gloomy. He gasped and released a rain of arrows into the sky. Then he found Gong Yi without looking back.

"Go, take the engineers back to the research center to forge arrows. You won't have to fight, just take care of the logistics."

In just a few minutes, the shelter consumed a large number of arrows. Although many zombies were killed, Zhang Shi was still worried that there would not be enough arrows. He ordered the engineers to build them overnight, and he himself was also making arrows non-stop in the construction interface.

There was a loud bang in front of the main gate. It was Ge Dalong's explosives. The powerful firearm blew the zombies in an area into a pool of minced meat. Zhang Shi was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he found that some of the zombies that were not yet dead began to gnaw on the scraps on the ground, and their bodies began to regrow new flesh.
