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

When Chen Beipan saw Zhang Shi stop, he breathed a sigh of relief, swallowed his saliva, and spoke hurriedly.

"There's a video I recorded in the watch. You'll know everything if you watch it."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shi picked up Chen Beipan's watch, opened the system panel, and projected the video. Everyone looked at him, trying to find out what the secret Chen Beipan was talking about was.

In the picture, a group of naked men and women were fighting fiercely in a dim room. From Chen Beipan's perspective, a woman with a flushed face and blurred eyes was hugging him. Chen Beipan turned his perspective to the back and saw a muscular, black-faced man grinning at him.

Wu Qing blushed when she saw this scene. She kicked Chen Beipan and cursed, "Disgusting!"

Zhao Feng, who was standing by, had almost recovered. He happened to see this exciting scene and couldn't help laughing.

"I didn't expect you to be so good at playing around, both men and women."

Zhang Shi suppressed his laughter, turned off the video, and said in a cold voice.

"We are not interested in your personal secrets. If you can't explain anything, I will kill you with a knife."

Chen Beipan quickly waved his hands and begged for mercy.

"Boss, it's not this video, it's the one below."

Zhang Shi heard this and clicked on the next video. It showed a ragged zombie corpse lying on a table, a hole in its skull. It was completely still. A middle-aged man, frowning, deftly cut the zombie's calf with a knife, apparently conducting some secret experiment.

After a while, the middle-aged man took a long breath away from the zombies, then picked up a piece of bloody steel plate.

"Look, this steel plate is used by modern medicine to treat fractures. This zombie was definitely a modern person when he was alive."

Zhang Shi and others were shocked by the content of the video and thought of many things in an instant.

Chen Beipan added at the right moment, "This zombie was discovered by chance during the blood moon. We dissected it and found a steel plate on its calf. Unfortunately, after the blood moon faded, the zombie was recovered by the system, and further research is no longer possible."

After Zhang Shi pondered for a moment, he asked.

"What is the man in this video called, and where is he now?"

Chen Beipan shook his head.

"His name is Lincoln. He was a member of the mutual aid society. After I left the mutual aid society, I blocked them all and cut off contact with them."

Zhao Feng mocked him from the side, "You're really efficient and effective. No dragging your feet at all."

Zhang Shi silently ignored the information and then raised the Old Duan to chop down at Chen Beipan. Chen Beipan dodged the attack with a dog-like leap and then turned around to curse Zhang Shi.

"You son of a bitch, Zhang Shi! You're so untrustworthy! You just got the news and you turn your back on me! I won't let you go, even if I die!"

Zhang Shi carried Lao Duan and slowly squatted in front of Chen Beipan.

"When did I say I would let you go? Besides, the information you gave me is useless to me. Even if you really want to survive, you have to give me something practical."

When Chen Beipan saw that things were turning for the better, his attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees. He knelt on the ground and looked at Zhang Shi with hope.

"Boss Zhang Shi, I have some more practical information. I wonder if it can save my life."

Zhang Shi was amused by Chen Beipan's appearance, but his inner vigilance towards him did not decrease at all.

"tell me the story."

Chen Beipan's eyes turned, then he moved closer to Zhang Shi and whispered.

"I have news about the natives of the wilderness world. Is this information enough to buy my life?"

Zhang Shi's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this. He had never heard of the indigenous people since he came here through time, but he had actually found traces of their ancestors' lives in the ruins in the stream. If the indigenous people really existed, then they were very likely to have an inextricable connection with the essence of this world.

"Keep going." Zhang Shi's voice was low and majestic, and he signaled Chen Beipan not to stop.

Chen Beipan swallowed and continued, "When I was in the Dragon and Tiger Alliance, I accidentally learned that they controlled a secret place. It is said that there is a channel for communication with the natives there. Although I haven't been there myself, I can tell you everything I know, including the location of the stronghold and how to contact them."

Zhang Shi's eyes narrowed, and he picked out several important words from Chen Beipan's words: Dragon and Tiger Alliance, secret realm. Could it be the copy that he had already cleared twice?

He thought to himself that if there really were traces of indigenous people there, then this information would be extremely valuable. If true, it would not only allow them to gain a deeper understanding of the wilderness world, but might even provide them with some unexpected resources and assistance. However, he also knew that Chen Beipan was cunning and unpredictable, and could not be easily trusted.

"How can you guarantee the authenticity of this news?" Zhang Shi asked, his eyes sharp as if he could see through Chen Beipan's thoughts.

Chen Beipan seemed to have anticipated this question. He quickly pulled a golden token from his pocket and presented it with both hands. "I got this from a member of the Dragon and Tiger Alliance. He told me it's one of the key clues to unlocking the ultimate door to the secret realm. It's only part of it, but according to their description, all of these tokens are essential. If I lead the way, we should be able to find the approximate location."

Zhang Shi took the token and looked at it carefully. He found that except for the color, the rest of the thing was exactly the same as the token obtained by killing the mandrill. It seemed that it should also be an important item for summoning a BOSS.

Zhang Shi quickly analyzed the authenticity of the information in his mind. At the same time, he was also considering how to deal with Chen Beipan. Even if the information was true, Chen Beipan's existence was still a hidden danger. After all, he was insidious and cunning. If he was spared, he would inevitably become a problem in the future.

"Okay, I'll consider the value of this information," Zhang Shi said slowly, a barely perceptible chill in his tone. "But before that, you need to accept a test."

When Chen Beipan heard there was a chance, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes: "What test?"

"Take us to that stronghold. If the news is true and you can help us return safely, I can consider giving you a chance to live." Zhang Shi said, his eyes revealing unquestionable determination.

Chen Beipan looked troubled, but when he thought that this might be his only chance of survival, he reluctantly nodded: "Okay, I'll take you there, but you must ensure my safety."

Zhang Shi sneered, "Your safety depends on your cooperation and the value of this information."

After saying this, Zhang Shi activated the ring and initiated a master-servant contract with Chen Beipan. Chen Beipan was knowledgeable and knew the effect of this thing. If he signed the contract, it would be equivalent to handing over his entire life and property to someone else. However, he had no other choice but to accept it silently.
