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

Zhang Shi's mouth twisted, he felt that he was the son of destiny, and everything he lacked would come to him.

After carefully examining the electric grid, I discovered that it resembled a cover woven from iron wire, and its shape could be changed according to one's wishes.

Moreover, the length of an electric fence is 100 meters, which is enough to surround one's shelter.

Zhang Shi covered the fence with electric nets. Worried that a single layer of defense wasn't strong enough, he added another layer on top.

At this point, the shelter's defensive capabilities have been upgraded to a higher level.

The temperature in the villa was comfortable. Zhang Shi lay on the bed and took a look at the conditions for upgrading the shelter in the next stage. He found that it was still covered in dust and he didn't even know what materials were needed.

Zhang Shi turned off the system panel, thinking about tomorrow's work while looking at the sky outside the window, his eyelids gradually becoming heavy.

"Why is there no moon in this wilderness world?"

……

On the third day of the severe cold disaster, Zhang Shi was awakened by the buzzing sound of the system.

I impatiently opened the system panel and found that it was a video request sent by Zhao Feng.

"Hey, why are you looking for me so early?"

"Shi Tou, look out the window."

Zhang Shi glanced out the window casually.

I don't know when, a thick layer of frost had formed on the glass windows.

Outside, the wind and snow were howling, and palm-sized snowflakes were flying in the wind. The ground in the courtyard was piled with snow, at least half a meter high.

Zhang Shi realized that the situation was not good and hurriedly opened the window. In an instant, a biting cold wind blew into Zhang Shi's bedroom. Even though Zhang Shi's physical attributes were not low, he still felt extremely uncomfortable.

"It must be minus 40 degrees Celsius, right?"

Zhang Shi hurriedly closed the window. The cold and hot air intertwined, forming a cloud of fog near the window. In just a dozen seconds, the frost on the window turned into ice water and froze again.

Fortunately, the glass produced by the system is of high quality and no problems occurred.

Zhao Feng's voice came out from the panel again, his tone revealing anxiety.

"Last night, the temperature dropped sharply, and there were monster attacks. Many people died in our area, and now there are only about 5000 survivors."

Hearing what Zhao Feng said, Zhang Shi thought of those white-haired snow apes.

When I opened the shelter interface, I found that the power grid was operating as usual and everything was normal near the wall.

After chatting with Zhao Feng for a while, Zhao Feng's eyes lit up and he suddenly asked.

"Hey, what's your background like? Why is it so bright?"

Zhang Shi raised the corners of his mouth and showed the two-story villa through the video.

Looking at the luxurious decoration on the screen, Zhao Feng couldn't help shaking his head.

"Hey, comparing yourself to others is really frustrating. I was worried about you. Seeing your situation, you've already moved into a villa. I'm just worrying about you."

After hanging up the video, Zhang Shi put on his clothes, tucked Pipi into his arms, and prepared to check the situation in the courtyard.

As soon as I opened the door, large flakes of snow blew in with the strong wind.

Zhang Shi tightened his sleeves and took difficult steps in the wind and snow.

The snow was already half a meter deep, and every step Zhang Shi took was extremely difficult.

I looked up at the greenhouse I missed the most and found that there wasn't much snow piled up on the roof. The temperature inside was not low, but it melted the snow around it and froze it into a circle of icicles.

Zhang Shi stepped on the pile of stones, took out a shovel, and cleared the snow one by one.

"There are treasures all over here, and they can't be destroyed by a blizzard."

After a while, the snow on the roof was almost cleared, but it was still snowing.

Zhang Shi estimated that at this rate, he would have to come out to clear the snow every half a day.

He checked the condition of the livestock again. The temperature inside was constant. Although Zhang Shi still felt a little cold, the chickens and sheep were in high spirits and did not show any signs of discomfort.

After feeding and watering the livestock as usual, Zhang Shi, feeling some numbness in his hands and feet, returned to the villa.

The house was as warm as spring. Zhang Shi's hands and feet gradually regained consciousness, and he began to worry about the weather.

"In this kind of horrible weather, I wonder how many more people will die."

When you are poor, you have to take care of yourself. Zhang Shi can only give up the desire to help others and live his own life.

As usual, I opened the cheat code and clicked to sign in.

System prompts, congratulations on signing in and getting:

[Wild World VIP Membership Card 7 days x1]

"Today's sign-in props aren't very impressive."

Zhang Shi complained for a while and used his membership card.

The aura of a king and a tyrant was added to his body, and the anxiety in his heart was swept away.

Zhang Shi transferred the collected vegetables to the refrigerator and freezer, leaving some for his own breakfast.

The new kitchen is fully equipped and the stove is electric, so Zhang Shi is finally free from the fumes.

After cooking two dishes, Zhang Shi had breakfast with bread.

"It's a shame I didn't find any rice seeds. I'm really tired of eating noodles every day."

After a satisfying meal, Zhang Shi relaxed and lay down on the sofa in the villa to check the chat room. Diving had become a regular part of his boring wilderness life.

As soon as he opened the chat channel, Zhang Shi found that Chen Beipan was promoting the mutual aid association.

Chen Beipan: Ladies and gentlemen, after this period of development, the members of the mutual aid association have united as one to face natural disasters together. The association has abundant resources and its members are in good living conditions. We are now open to regional morning and evening elites, and welcome all aspiring people to join.

Although Chen Beipan's reputation is not very good, he is indeed willing to spend resources recently, and the mutual aid association is expanding very quickly.

Many survivors who were struggling to survive joined the group and found refuge. The reputation of the mutual aid association began to spread among the survivors, and soon it became the largest player organization in Zhang Shi's area.

Although Zhang Shi had a grudge against him and the other party deliberately targeted him in the charcoal business, Zhang Shi did not care.

Even if Chen Beipan was more powerful, it wouldn't affect him. Even if he came to my door one day, could he break through the electric fence?

Seeing that there was no useful information, Zhang Shi switched to the trading market to check.

After a quick look, Zhang Shi found that the prices of basic resources had fluctuated slightly, and the prices of various materials were on an upward trend.

Zhang Shi speculated that this might be related to the sudden drop in temperature, which prevented survivors from going out to explore.

With the big drop in temperature, many survivors took out some unused but high-quality items to exchange for supplies. There were quite a few things in the trading market that caught Zhang Shi's eye.

[Pet Experience Capsule x1 (Blue): After use, increase pet experience value by 100]

[Fertilizer Recipe x1 (Blue): After use, unlock the fertilizer production method.]

[Goat Milk Wine Recipe x1 (Blue): After using, unlock the method of making goat milk wine.]

Zhang Shi picked up some items and sold them instantly.

These things are useless to most survivors, but they are very useful to Zhang Shi.

First, use the pet experience capsule on Pipi.

A white light flashed by, and Pipi shouted excitedly. Zhang Shi found that it had directly broken through to level 2 and had an extra free attribute point.

Zhang Shi thought about it and decided to take advantage of Pipi's agility and add the attribute to agility.

Check out its properties.

Name: Pipi

Race: dog

Experience value: Level 2

Grade: Advanced

Power: 12

Agility: 16

Constitution: 10

Mana: 3

Talent: None

Ability value: 10

This ability value is higher than his level 7 one, and Zhang Shi feels a little ashamed.

After learning the two recipes, Zhang Shi had two new items added to his construction interface.

[Fertilizer (Blue): After use, increases crop yield and growth rate by 10%.]

After checking the crafting materials, Zhang Shi realized that he only needed to collect feces to craft it through the system. He was happy, thinking that this was one less job.

[Goat Milk Wine (Blue): After consumption, cold resistance +2, strength +2. Lasts for 30 minutes.]

The ingredients are goat milk and water.

Zhang Shi was very impressed by its effects and decided to start making it as soon as the sheep started producing milk.
