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

Zhang Shi remembered the zombies that broke out from the ground of the plain, so he took people to dig nearby. However, they found nothing. Even the ground was solid, as if it had been systematically restored, erasing all traces of the zombies.

Seeing that he couldn't find the corpse nest for a while, Zhang Shi had to give up for the time being. Fortunately, the area within a kilometer radius around the shelter had been cleared. Zhang Shi decided to expand the shelter again. Once the number of soldiers increased to a certain scale, he would try to expand outward.

Inside the shelter, the cultivation of golden rice was proceeding smoothly. Wu Qing led the soldiers in teaching them to cultivate the land, working as farmers in their spare time and serving as soldiers in times of war. With the supply of resources now secure, Zhang Shi had the funds to continue garrisoning troops.

After taking a look at the boundary of the shelter, Zhang Shi had an idea and increased the length and width of the wall by 50 meters each. In order to deal with the zombies' human wave tactics, Zhang Shi also deliberately increased the height of the wall by 1 meter, which completely drained his gold essence stone reserves.

Zhang Shi then posted a message on the trading market, announcing the acquisition of various basic resources. The private chat interface was quickly bombarded with enthusiastic survivors. Zhang Shi selected a few with reasonable prices and made purchases, then casually glanced at the chat channel before closing the system.

Zhang Shi noticed that the number of people in the regional chat channel had dropped below 3000. Less than a month after crossing over, the number of survivors had dropped by over 7%, and countless people had been injured.

Zhang Shi realized that the wilderness world was arranging disasters with the intention of killing the survivors, and the situation of ordinary survivors was difficult.

"Shi Tou, something's happening!"

Zhao Feng's loud voice echoed from far away in the fortress. He held the Book of Revelation in his hand and ran quickly towards Zhang Shi.

Wu Qing and Ge Dalong were also attracted by his loud voice. Seeing the Book of Revelation in his hand, they knew that there was indeed something important, and waited for the next words with serious faces.

Zhao Feng took a deep breath and opened the Book of Revelation.

"[Revelation (Green) X1: Able to predict impending disasters. Next natural disaster: heavy rain. Within the haze, everything is predetermined.]"

Zhang Shi calculated that today was exactly the tenth day since the extreme heat disaster began. Although the temperature had dropped to normal levels, the zombie crisis in between still made the survivors uneasy. Unexpectedly, just after two days of good days, the system started to cause trouble again and created a new natural disaster.

Ge Dalong stretched out his hand to feel the humidity of the air, looked up at the sky, and did not find anything unusual.

"It looks like there's still some time before the next natural disaster. We need to take advantage of this buffer period to make some preparations in advance."

Zhang Shi knew clearly that a rainstorm that could be called a natural disaster would not be a minor event. Once the rain really came, it would likely last for quite a long time, and flooding would inevitably occur. If one was not careful, the entire shelter might be submerged.

Fortunately, when the site was selected, the shelter was located near a plain. The terrain nearby is not complicated, and disasters such as mudslides and landslides will not occur. The only thing to pay attention to is the two small rivers in front and behind the shelter, which will inevitably burst their banks soon after heavy rain falls.

"Why not try digging a moat, connecting the inside of the shelter to the moat through pipes, and then connecting the moat to the two small rivers outside, so that the accumulated water can be drained out in time."

Wu Qing thought of the drainage methods of ancient cities and came up with this idea.

Zhang Shi had no solution for the torrential rain. Relocating the shelter again was clearly unrealistic, so his only solution was to start with evacuation.

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Shi agreed to Wu Qing's proposal and planned to extend the deep pit to defend against zombies and dig outside starting tomorrow.

Zhao Feng suddenly caught the blind spot again and asked excitedly.

"Hey, aren't these zombies particularly afraid of water? Do you think that once the rainstorm starts, these zombies will be extinct? Then we won't have to hold back the zombie tide every night anymore?"

Several people had not really thought about this problem. After careful analysis, they felt that Zhao Feng's guess was indeed reasonable.

"When the enemy comes, we will fight them; when the water comes, we will block it with earth. No matter what happens, we just need to do our own thing. The blood moon is coming, so be prepared. The Apocalypse has changed, and I feel that today's zombie tide may have a 'surprise'."

……

Ge Dalong's guess was correct. As soon as the blood moon began, a team of Titan zombies broke out from the ground, followed by countless mutated zombies.

This time the zombies' attack seemed to have a plan. The mutated zombies of various types were divided into different phalanxes. The Titans and the tall guys rushed in first, destroying the chevaux de frise and covering the spiders and monkeys as they got closer to the wall.

Although they suffered heavy casualties from the lasers and artillery fire, a small number of zombies still rushed forward and began to spit spider silk madly at the soldiers on the wall.

The soldiers had seen the power of spider silk, and under Zhang Shi's command, they all found shelter.

As soon as the soldiers' firepower ceased, the zombie army quickly moved towards the wall. Wu Qing saw this and quickly controlled the giant vines to block it, but she didn't expect that more than a dozen fat men would suddenly rush out from the zombie group.

These fat men were all enormous, standing two meters tall with waists measuring 1.5 meters. They staggered like buckets as they sprinted towards the shelter, not slowing down at all. Each of them bore a massive tumor on their chest, a hallmark of a mutated zombie. The tumor flashed a blinding red light at an extremely high frequency, and their bodies trembled slightly with the flickering of the tumor, making them look like incredibly unstable human bombs.

The giant vines swept across, trying to use their huge force to tear these fat bucket zombies into pieces, but as soon as they got close, the bucket in the front roared, and then its body exploded like a bomb. The powerful impact force, accompanied by smelly corpse parts and blood rain, broke the vines.

The wall was stuck with the acid sprayed out by the bucket zombies' self-explosion, making a squeaking sound and emitting bursts of white smoke. You didn't need to look to know that this acid was also extremely corrosive.

Zhang Shi, standing at the top, stumbled, nearly being knocked over by the powerful shockwave. The impact of the self-detonating zombies far exceeded that of explosives, and he was even a little worried about whether the golden stone wall could withstand the blast.

Not far away, more bucket zombies were rushing towards the wall, aiming directly at the shelter. Zhang Shi shouted anxiously to the back.

"Quick, focus your fire! Shoot at their weak points and don't let them get close to the wall."

After saying that, Zhang Shi took the lead and aimed at a suicide zombie, hitting its weak point with an arrow.

This arrow was like lighting the fuse of the self-destructing zombie, instantly exploding it. The explosion created a massive shockwave that knocked over all nearby zombies. The ordinary zombies that were closer were even more completely shattered by the blast, turning them into a pile of broken limbs.
