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

It only took everyone one morning to go back and forth. The sun was shining brightly in the shelter, and the soldiers worked step by step according to the instructions. Everything seemed to be in order.

Wu Qing took a breath of fresh air, and the haze in her heart that was influenced by Huojia Village was swept away.

After returning to the shelter, the four of them happily started dividing the spoils.

The Village of Doubt is a rare-level dungeon. In addition, the four of them killed a large number of zombies on this trip. After sharing the experience of the main line, everyone was promoted to the next level. Zhang Shi even got a huge amount of experience of one and a half levels.

In addition, the system also rewards a rare item, which is just right for a shelter in a fast development stage.

[Spirit Gathering Array (Purple): A magical artifact that can gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It is even more effective when used with certain props.]

Zhang Shi suddenly remembered the spirit gathering array he obtained in the ruins. It seems that these two magic weapons are used in conjunction with each other, and they should be able to exert considerable power by complementing each other.

Zhang Shi took out the formation diagram and plate and placed them in the center of the fortress. As expected, the spiritual energy gathered within the shelter became noticeably richer, and everyone felt refreshed, as if they were about to be reborn.

Zhang Shi discovered that a BUFF appeared on the shelter interface, which enhanced the physical attributes of friendly units by 20% and lasted for a long time.

Ge Dalong carefully read the detailed information of the two magic weapons and asked in confusion.

"The descriptions of these two items say they are magical artifacts, but why are they only listed as rare?"

"Maybe because it's been out for too long, its level has dropped?"

Zhang Shi and Zhao Feng did not notice this detail, but they were certain that the Spirit Gathering Array Plate was a rare item from the moment it was obtained.

Seeing that the spirit gathering array was quite effective, Ge Dalong did not delve into the matter further.

Zhang Shi successfully completed the second job transfer mission by completing the Doubtful Village dungeon. After submitting the mission, Zhang Shi finally successfully transferred to Shadow Warrior after several days of hard work.

The Shadow Warrior's attribute growth tends to be strength and agility, which is not much different from Zhang Shi's point allocation direction.

After changing jobs, you will gain a skill called [Shadow]. Its effect is to double the consumption of physical strength and generate a shadow to complete some actions on your behalf. The duration of the shadow will increase with the level of the survivor.

Zhang Shi tried it and found that he could only maintain the shadow for 2 seconds, while the CD time of the skill was as high as 60 seconds.

However, this shadow is like a second body, able to perform various actions at will. The shadow's strength and speed are no different from the original body, and Zhang Shi has a lot more room for maneuver in battle.

Zhang Shi experimented with it and discovered that his shadow could also interact with his own skills. He could remotely control the shadow to perform Shadow Step and activate Triple Strike, while the main body could also fire backhanded arrows from a safe location, greatly increasing the combat tolerance.

Zhao Feng became interested and tried to attack the shadow. He found that the shadow was just like the soul in the dungeon. Physical attacks were ineffective. Only energy or elemental attacks could have any effect on the shadow.

Although there weren't any job-change rewards, Zhang Shi was extremely pleased with the unique features of this rare class. Furthermore, he was only halfway to level 20, which would unlock another class skill. Zhang Shi was eagerly anticipating the blood moon zombie tidal wave that evening, eager to dive into the horde and fight his way through it.

After calming down, Zhang Shi remembered that his animal friends were still in the White Tiger Space, and quickly released the three little ones.

The little white tiger looked like he was still sleepy. He yawned and shook his head, and seemed to be lying very comfortably inside.

As if sensing the little white tiger's breath, a tiger roar came from the depths of the dense forest. Zhang Shi recognized that it must be the big tiger calling the little tiger.

Sure enough, after hearing the tiger's roar, the little tiger immediately became alert and trotted out of the shelter, looking back as he ran, as if saying goodbye to everyone.

It was when he turned around that Xiaohu caught sight of Zhang Shi in front of him. He immediately became serious, turned around and ran back, and started to hit Zhang Shi with a hammer.

Although there was no substantial attack power, Dali still pushed Zhang Shi back repeatedly, and he was a little confused by Xiaohu's behavior.

Seeing Zhang Shi's puzzled expression, Xiao Hu stopped and then had a conversation with Pi Pi. After a moment, Pi Pi seemed to understand what Xiao Hu meant, stood up, and pulled at Zhang Shi's skirt armor.

Zhang Shi took a moment to react before finally understanding what Pipi meant. He quickly looked at his system backpack. Upon seeing this, Zhang Shi's face immediately drooped.

In a compartment of the backpack, the porcelain pot containing Master An's soul was quietly placed there, inconspicuous at all, and even if you glanced at it, you would subconsciously skip it.

Zhang Shi was filled with disbelief. He couldn't imagine how he could have forgotten Master An's existence. He subconsciously put the porcelain pot into his backpack and took it back to the wilderness. The strangest thing was that even his companions didn't react at all, as if they had ignored Master An's existence.

Zhang Shi immediately took out the porcelain pot, placed Old Duan on it, and cursed him harshly.

"Lao Deng, I really underestimated your ability. Show up quickly, or I will really chop your urn in two."

But the porcelain pot seemed to be a dead object and did not react at all. Zhang Shi raised his hand to fulfill his promise, but was stopped by Ge Dalong.

"Don't do anything yet, I have a way to control him."

Afterwards, Ge Dalong sent the method to the team channel to prevent Mr. An from eavesdropping.

"For now, put him in the backpack. The rules of the system space are very powerful, and he won't be able to cause any trouble. We can abandon him in there when we leave the next dungeon challenge and let him be imprisoned for life."

Zhang Shi felt that Ge Dalong's method was feasible. Just in case, he took out an iron box and locked the porcelain pot inside, and then put it into the system backpack.

Because it was too strange to subconsciously ignore Master An, Zhang Shi specially set up a memo on the system interface to remind himself of Master An's existence, so that he could feel at ease.

After the matter was settled and the little white tiger was sent off, the shelter returned to its busy schedule. The shelter was already a bit crowded and could not accommodate hundreds of people.

Zhang Shi did not intend to stop recruiting soldiers, but decided to expand the territory again.

Among them, the first thing is to strengthen one's control over the territory.

Zhang Shi specially assembled a team of people and personally led them out for patrol, preparing to establish a fixed patrol route to keep the area near the shelter under firm control.

On the way, you can collect all the resources you encounter, including basic resources such as wood and stone.

As night fell, Zhang Shi swept the area within a radius of one thousand meters. He dealt with some blind beasts he encountered, but he did not see those ferocious and bloody zombies.

Unless they rely on system teleportation every time a blood moon comes, such a large group of zombies would not appear out of thin air. Zhang Shi guessed that there must be a zombie nest nearby, and it must be quite large in scale.
