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

At night, Zhang Shi soaked in the bathtub, recalling today's battle in the secret realm.

The bearded man was quite powerful, possessing numerous skills and items, especially the golden compass, which was of a high quality and had caused him considerable trouble. Furthermore, judging by his attack methods, he must have switched to a hidden class. While primarily focused on magic, he was also proficient in melee combat. Even in a melee fight, he hadn't gained much of an advantage.

The Eagle Group has a great reputation and has absorbed many powerful survivors in recent times. From the first contact to today's conflict, none of the opponents Zhang Shi has seen are particularly weak. It can be seen that Bell does have the ability to judge people. Zhang Shi began to consider whether to speed up the pace of troop expansion, or to find an organization with similar strength and character to form an alliance.

Just as Zhang Shi was lost in thought, a loud shouting came from outside.

Zhang Shi immediately sat up and listened carefully to the noise outside.

"Enemy attack, coming from all directions, quickly notify everyone to defend!"

Zhang Shi frowned, quickly dried himself, dressed himself, and rushed out to check the situation.

Ge Dalong heard the noise early on and was directing the soldiers' actions in an orderly manner.

"Zhang Shi, you've arrived just in time. There are zombie-like beasts everywhere outside. A rough estimate is that there are over three thousand of them. Quickly take your men to the transfer station to take a look."

Zhang Shi flashed to the wall and took a look, and was immediately dumbfounded.

With the light of the giant sunflower, the plains were filled with the figures of wild beasts. The eyes of these beasts were all scarlet, and they were not afraid of water.

The rain had already flooded the city, forming a massive stream that had submerged the deep moat. These zombie beasts must have swum across the deep pit. At this point, many of the zombie beasts had already reached the foot of the wall, attempting to use their sharp claws to attack the wall, hoping to break through it.

What surprised Zhang Shi even more was the sight of zombie-like birds in the sky. Their pupils glowed red as they recklessly attacked the soldiers on the wall, significantly slowing their counterattack. If Sunflower hadn't launched its own attack, significantly reducing the number of birds and beasts, the entire sky above the shelter would have been covered in these zombie-like birds.

At this time, Zhao Feng and Wu Qing also came out to fight. They finally arranged the cannons and muskets and began to bombard the front in rounds.

"What are you still standing there for? Go to the transfer station and help!"

Zhang Shi came to his senses and found that there were still 50 soldiers left at the transit station. Without the help of the survivors, it would be difficult for them to withstand this sudden tide of zombies.

Taking Pipi with him, Zhang Shi teleported alone to the transit station. As expected, there, too, was the danger of a zombie-beast attack. Soldiers, using the dim light of the fire in the room, stood on the tower, firing nervously outward. The heavy rain outside made it impossible to light torches, and visibility was extremely low, making the soldiers extremely nervous.

Seeing Zhang Shi emerge from the light, the soldiers seemed to have found a backbone, and their eyes suddenly lit up.

Zhang Shi noticed the changes in the soldiers, raised his right hand, and gave orders loudly.

"Everyone, pay attention. Fire at full speed outside. Take cover while reloading. Watch out for birds in the sky."

The shelter wasn't large, and the population wasn't large, so the number of zombie beasts wasn't large either, and the zombie birds that Zhang Shi feared the most weren't numerous either. Zhang Shi simply threw a circle of Molotov cocktails outside the shelter, easily slowing down the zombie beasts' attack.

Zhang Shi was worried about the safety of the shelter, so he was particularly unrestrained in this battle. He took out Lao Duan and chose close combat. The blessing of the Shadow Step allowed him to move freely in the herd of beasts. He harvested the heads of the zombie beasts one by one with his sword.

Although the zombie beasts' bite force was even stronger, the Black Light Armor's grade overwhelmed them. Even if Zhang Shi stood still, the enemy couldn't break through his defense. Before long, with the cooperation of the soldiers, Zhang Shi had dispatched these hundreds of beasts.

After giving them some instructions, Zhang Shi was teleported back to the shelter.

At this time, the defensive battle had entered a white-hot stage. As soon as Zhang Shi returned, he saw a zombie bird as tall as a man grab a soldier, carry him high into the sky, and then release its claws, dropping him to the plains. The zombies quickly pounced on him and overwhelmed him.

Zhang Shi frowned. This zombie bird's behavior was distinctly different from that of ordinary zombies. Zombies acted entirely on instinct; even mutants wouldn't simply throw away flesh and blood. However, this zombie bird clearly possessed a certain level of intelligence, or perhaps even rationality.

Wu Qing used the Staff of the Ancestors and summoned the Taunt Totem. A protective shield enveloped the shelter, blocking even the rain. She directed the gunners to fire at the area where the beasts were concentrated, but there were too many monsters, and their movement speed was much faster than that of zombies. The speed of the artillery shells could not keep up with their charging speed, and a human wall had already formed under the wall.

Seeing this, Zhao Feng made up his mind, asked Guan Wuqing for a bag of potion, and jumped down with an axe. Ge Dalong wanted to stop him, but it was too late. He had no choice but to put an ice armor on him.

Zhao Feng leaped behind the Black Mist Guard, standing back to back with him, and quickly carved a gap below. The zombie beasts, upon smelling flesh and blood, immediately gave up climbing the wall and attacked Zhao Feng instead.

Seeing this, Zhang Shi, relying on the excellent performance of his armor, also teleported away. With a single swing of his sword, he instantly moved away, killing with exceptional efficiency. He also kept the zombie beasts in a state of strife, quickly dividing the zombie tide and greatly reducing the pressure on the soldiers.

Zhao Feng, axe in hand, was furiously slaughtering. The zombies were unable to penetrate his defenses, which in turn enhanced his fighter skills, making him incredibly powerful in a short period of time. His strength and agility increased to terrifying levels. With a single swing of the axe, he cleaved the beast's body in two with ease.

At this moment, the zombie bird in the sky noticed the situation here, circled over the shelter for a while, avoided Sunflower's attack, and then rushed straight towards Zhao Feng.

Three voices shouted a warning at the same time, and Zhao Feng immediately noticed the big bird in the sky. He sneered, and instead of retreating, he advanced. He gathered strength in his legs and flew up like a cannonball. His desperate battle axe broke through the rain curtain and chopped the big bird with force, causing a rain of blood to fall in the air.

Just as he was falling, a zombie bird suddenly appeared from nowhere, attacking at an extremely tricky angle, landing right above Zhao Feng. He was already falling, unable to launch a counterattack, and could only watch helplessly as the bird approached.

At the critical moment, Zhang Shi noticed the crisis and teleported behind the big bird. He cut off its head with a knife, then stepped on its back to use the force to adjust his body shape, and teleported away again, beheading the third zombie bird that was lurking in the air.
