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

Everyone has their own selfish motives. Zhang Shi originally wanted to stockpile more supplies to take advantage of the information gap. Unexpectedly, before he could make a move, others had already taken action.

Zhang Shi and Zhao Feng considered it carefully and decided to make Yan Han's matter public.

Since market prices were showing signs of anomalies, there were bound to be smart people who could spot the signs. Rather than hiding it and waiting for a small group of people to monopolize the resources, it was better to spread the news openly so that everyone could be prepared.

“This will save lives.”

Zhao Feng nodded and agreed with Zhang Shi's idea.

However, before announcing the news, the two of them first took a look at the goods in the trading market.

-

"Gulu gulu."

The broth was cooked until soft and the whole stone house was filled with the aroma of meat.

Zhang Shi smelled the odor and temporarily stopped what he was doing. He scooped up a bowl of broth and began to devour it.

Bear meat has coarse fibers, and its texture is similar to that of fatty beef. High-quality meat holds a miraculous energy. Zhang Shi downed half a bowl of broth and immediately felt a surge of warmth from his abdomen to his limbs. His entire body felt warm, as if charged with electricity, and even the slump of injury vanished.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

Suddenly, there was a burst of wolf howling outside the house, and it seemed that there were quite a few of them.

Zhang Shi guessed that the wolf from yesterday was holding a grudge and sent people over today.

"Fuck! You can't even eat in peace. I'm just worried about where to vent all my energy, so I'll try it on you guys."

Zhang Shi took out the bone bow and trotted into the yard.

The wolves outside the door heard Zhang Shi's movements and became more and more manic, starting to attack the wooden door non-stop.

A sneer appeared on Zhang Shi's lips. It was unclear whether it was because he was excited after eating the bear meat, or because he had killed a black bear today and got rid of his fear of wild beasts.

Completely ignoring the injury on his leg, Zhang Shi climbed up the watchtower and shone the searchlight in front of the gate.

Under the illumination of the lights, the night was dispelled, and nothing could be hidden.

I saw seven or eight gray wolves gathered at the foot of the wall. One of them had a limp on its front leg. It seemed to be the one that was trapped by the trap yesterday.

Seeing Zhang Shi appear in their sight, the wolves became even more ferocious. They bared their fangs, and their eyes flashed green in the night, looking particularly ferocious.

Zhang Shi's mentality at this moment is completely different from yesterday. With long-range attack weapons, Zhang Shi can take the initiative to attack and no longer have to hide behind the wall passively.

He put on the iron arrow, pulled the bowstring hard and shot towards the wolves.

"Whoosh~"

The arrow passed through the searchlight's light, flashing silver light across the night sky and nailed into the ground at an angle.

The gray wolf closest to it was startled by the sudden arrow and jumped up with its fur standing on end.

Zhang Shi watched as one-third of the arrow was embedded in the ground and was very satisfied with the destructive power of the bone bow.

"You still need to work on your aim."

After saying that, Zhang Shi drew the bow again. His arms were already familiar with the strength of the bone bow, and Zhang Shi felt more and more comfortable with it.

Nock the arrow, release the string, all in one go, and learn to shoot three arrows in a row like the characters in the game.

The gray wolves were very intelligent. When they saw Zhang Shi aiming at them, they scattered and hid in places where the searchlight could not reach, disappearing into the darkness.

As expected, all three arrows missed their target and landed on the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

"Ouch!"

A burst of shrill screams left Zhang Shi a little confused.

"Didn't you miss the target? Why are you trying to hit the porcelain?"

Zhang Shi turned the searchlight towards the location of the sound and found that it was a poor gray wolf that was frightened and accidentally stepped on a trap, getting trapped and unable to move.

Zhang Shi quickly took out the arrow and aimed at the gray wolf.

"puff!"

The iron arrow pierced into the gray wolf's head, and the wailing stopped abruptly. The gray wolf was shot dead by Zhang Shi with one arrow.

Zhang Shi was so excited that he finally succeeded, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Wu~"

In the distant wilderness, a powerful and high-pitched cry was heard, and a pair of green eyes stared at Zhang Shi through the thick night.

After hearing the howling, the gray wolves gathered together, slowly dispersed towards the wilderness, and gradually blended into the night.

After the battle, the courtyard returned to peace, with only the occasional crackle of the flames in the charcoal kiln.

Seeing the wolves disperse, Zhang Shi used a searchlight to check the surroundings. Seeing that there was no ambush, he climbed down the sentry tower, opened the door, cleaned up the battlefield, and retrieved the wolf corpse.

After returning to the stone house and taking off his leather pants, Zhang Shi discovered that the wound on his calf was oozing blood.

After cleaning the wound again, Zhang Shi put on clean gauze and secretly made up his mind to fully recover before going out.

Having expended a lot of energy, Zhang Shi heated up the cold broth and ate it with bread.

I casually scanned the chat channel and found that it was full of messages asking for help tonight.

Zhang Shi carefully checked the chat records and found that everyone had been attacked by large wild beasts to varying degrees.

Some survivors' shelters have not even been upgraded to wooden houses, so the wild beasts can easily break in and the survivors are logged off at the speed of light.

As for the survivors in the middle, they have upgraded their cabins and have some handy weapons.

Relying on shelter, we can fight against wild beasts and there will be fewer casualties.

Zhang Shi took a look at the number of people online and his pupils shrank.

After a few days of not paying attention, the number of surviving survivors has dropped to 7955.

"It's only the fourth day, the natural disaster hasn't even arrived, and already 20% of people are dead."

Zhang Shi asked about Zhao Feng's situation.

Zhao Feng had a leopard, and with the man and the beast working together, it was much easier to deal with the wild beast.

Seeing that the supplies the two had stockpiled were enough to survive the natural disaster, Zhang Shi decided to make the news public.

According to the plan, Zhang Shi will still come forward.

Zhang Shi (VIP): Everyone, according to reliable information, the natural disaster in seven days will be a severe cold snap. Please prepare in advance for the natural disaster. For details, please see [Revelation (Green) x1]

Zhang Shi’s news was pinned to the top of the regional chat channel, quickly sparking heated discussions.

Zhu Dachang: So that’s why I said that the price of timber in the trading market has skyrocketed. So this is the reason.

Sheng Mu: Humph, who knows whether your news is true or not? Maybe you deliberately released false news with the intention of driving up the price of timber and making a profit from it.

Cheng Xiaobai: Still wasting time? The Holy Lord has been resurrected. Sheriff Black has assembled the twelve zodiac animals to seal the Holy Lord. The only one missing is you, the pig @Shengmu.

Ge Dalong: Everyone, I believe you've noticed that the temperature has been dropping recently. Many of the items you've received from treasure chests are for keeping warm. I think @张石's words are quite credible, so everyone should make some preparations in advance.

After the news was announced, Zhang Shi switched to the trading market.

As expected, the prices of wood and animal furs were skyrocketing. Items that hadn't had time to change their prices were being sold out at an extremely fast rate.

Zhang Shi considered it for a while and set the price to 1 unit of charcoal for 2 units of wood until all 30 trading orders were filled.

Zhang Shi had experimented and found that one unit of charcoal burned for much longer and released much more heat than two units of wood. Excluding the loss and time involved in converting the charcoal, Zhang Shi didn't make much money, so the 1-for-2 price was acceptable to the survivors.
