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

After breakfast, Zhang Shi didn't immediately begin work. Instead, he divided all the assault soldiers into two groups to practice fighting techniques. With the number of barracks now increased and the arsenal speeding up recruitment, the shelter could recruit an average of 50 soldiers per day, and it was expected that the number of soldiers would exceed 200 by tomorrow.

The speed of garrisoning troops increased greatly, so Zhang Shi divided the soldiers into subdivisions according to the plan. The first selection was the cavalry, which Zhang Shi attached great importance to.

Some of the assault soldiers were recruited earlier and had experienced many battles, so they were much better than the new recruits in terms of rank and combat experience. Among them, the one who attracted Zhang Shi's attention the most was Zhang Yiling.

Zhang Shi remembered that he was once bitten by a zombie wolf. He used the antidote to save it and won the hearts of the people.

Zhang Yiling's moves were methodical and completely different from those of ordinary soldiers. Every movement was extremely energy-saving and practical. When two groups of people were facing off, he could often knock down his opponent with just a poke or a kick of the wooden stick in his hand.

The rain gradually got heavier, obstructing the soldiers' vision, and the high-intensity fighting caused them to quickly lose their physical strength.

Only Zhang Yiling stood calmly at the front of the team. When others were tired and panting, he was still standing firm, which made Zhang Dazhuang, who was supervising the battle, cheer for him repeatedly.

Zhang Shi nodded with satisfaction and clapped his hands to signal the soldiers to stop.

"You, you, and you, I've already transferred you to cavalry. You can go to Ge Dalong to receive your warhorses and armor. From today on, Zhao Feng will be your commander. Your primary task at this stage is to explore the outside world."

The ten soldiers, including Zhang Yiling, were ecstatic. They had become the first group of cavalrymen in the shelter as they wished, and had the opportunity to go out and explore. If they brought back supplies such as treasure chests, the lord would not be stingy with rewards.

Zhang Shi watched the ten cavalrymen excitedly running to the stable to collect their equipment, and his mood was also infected by the soldiers. The slight worry he had in the morning disappeared with the soldiers' excited shouts.

With the configuration of war horses and horse armor completed, a cavalry squad has been formed. The armor of these soldiers is made of fine steel by Gong Yi. Each person is also equipped with a long sword, bow and arrow, and musket to deal with battles in different situations.

After the cavalry changed their profession, they had riding skills. These ten people had all experienced the test of the zombie tide, and they were first-class archers. They automatically comprehended the riding and shooting skills and were full of combat effectiveness.

As the commander, Zhao Feng was placed with high hopes by Zhang Shi. He brought enough supplies with him on this trip, so he didn't have to worry about zombies. Even the precious teleportation array was taken down by Zhang Shi and handed over to him.

At this time, Zhao Feng was sitting in the driver's seat of the jeep, checking the route planned by Zhang Shi, and preparing to explore the outside world.

"Brother Feng, if you come across a valuable location on this trip, you can build some towers there to set up a teleportation array. If you encounter other survivors, try to avoid conflict. If you really can't avoid it, kill them without mercy."

The Wild World merged last night. According to the system, some kind of barrier had been broken. Zhang Shi, like an old father, advised Zhao Feng to be extra careful.

Zhao Feng shook his head helplessly, pointing to his heavy gold-essence stone armor, indicating that he understood the situation. He then started the engines, and a fleet of modern cars and ancient cavalry set off from the shelter, looking quite incongruous.

After Zhao Feng left, Ge Dalong took over his duties as mine supervisor, leading a group of reassigned infantrymen towards the mines. Saltpeter and sulfur were extremely rare resources, and the iron ore in the mines was also valuable. With the arrival of the arsenal, it was possible to unlock bullets and rifles. Zhang Shi intensified his mining efforts, eager to gather all the mine's resources in a single day.

After the two teams set off, Zhang Shi led another team to the plain in front of the shelter.

With rainfall continuing to rise, flooding was only a matter of time. Zhang Shi led his men, digging toward the river ahead. The deep pit they had previously used to defend against the zombies was still there, saving them considerable time. In just one morning, Zhang Shi had connected the tunnel directly in front of the gate to the river.

The rain was getting heavier. Zhang Shi wiped the rain off his face and led everyone back to the shelter to rest.

During lunch, Zhang Shi turned on the regional channel as usual.

The current division is called [Summer-12 District]. It seems that the survivors will still be divided according to their nationality to avoid some conflicts.

The district became 10 people, and chat messages scrolled rapidly, most of which were recruitment and new member information. It was consistent with Zhang Shi's previous expectations. After the merger, various organizations emerged like mushrooms after rain.

The various organizations were naturally hostile to each other, and friction was inevitable. On the morning Zhang Shi was working hard, many factions started to argue with each other, and eventually it turned into a fight.

The two groups were still somewhat confident, as they both had the means of long-distance teleportation. After agreeing on the address coordinates, they started a live broadcast, attracting many survivors to stop and watch.

Zhang Shi also found it novel and clicked in to join in the fun.

In the picture, an organization called "Dragon and Tiger Alliance" is setting up a teleportation array. The leader is a middle-aged man named Brother Long. At a command, a team of nearly a hundred people are teleported away in batches.

Zhang Shi took note of their equipment configuration. The worst one was a high-quality weapon made of fine iron. It seemed that this force was quite powerful and should not be underestimated.

The scene flashed, and the people from the Dragon and Tiger Alliance had arrived outside an ancient castle. It was raining heavily, and lightning flashed from time to time, making the atmosphere quite gloomy.

Across the castle, the Brotherhood had been waiting for a long time. Seeing the other party ready, they greeted them with a martially respectful greeting. Then, the people behind them rushed forward, wielding various high-quality weapons, some even gleaming with magical abilities. This was definitely not a brawl between street thugs.

"That's enough, you ants, who gave you the courage to act like a savage here?"

An angry roar came from the top of the castle, and a red-haired figure with a ponytail appeared at the window, glaring at everyone with an angry and somewhat ferocious expression.

"What's going on? There's a third party?"

Seeing that there was a twist in the story, many people who were just watching the show started discussing it excitedly.

Zhang Shi was also stunned when he saw the people in the castle, but then he burst into laughter, took out a plate of watermelon and started watching the show. It was because the red-haired ponytail was none other than Bell, the leader of the Eagle Group.

The people from the Dragon Tiger Alliance and the Brotherhood were also confused. The coordinates they chose when they made the appointment to fight were random, and they both thought that the location was chosen by the other party. They didn't expect that this was someone else's territory.

"Red Hair, watch your mouth! If you piss me off, I'll beat you up too!"

Seeing that the enemy was alone, Brother Long threatened them fiercely, trying to regain his advantage. The leader of the Brotherhood simply held up his hands to stop his men from charging, remaining silent as he watched the situation unfold.

Bell was so angry at the Dragon and Tiger Alliance that he laughed. Then he roared and jumped down from the top of the castle, landing steadily on the ground.

"You are looking for death yourself, don't blame me for not warning you."
