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

Zhang Shi continued to monitor the chat channel, but Sheng Mu never sent any more messages. Everyone speculated that she must have been controlled.

The tea was boiling, and Zhang Shi drank it in small sips. As the tea went down his throat, his body gradually became warm.

I glanced at the time and it was already past noon.

Zhang Shi patted his pants and stood up, ready to continue exploring along the glacier.

The entire glacier passes through the mines and dense forests, with no one knowing where it originates or where it ends.

The sunlight shines through the sparse clouds and falls on the white snowfield, flashing with dazzling light, adding a bit of mystery and magnificence to this cold wilderness.

Zhang Shi stepped carefully on the ice, trying to make sure each step was firm in case he encountered thin ice.

As he went deeper, Zhang Shi discovered that the glacier did not extend in a straight line, but was winding and twisting, as if hiding the secrets of nature.

Along the way, he would occasionally dig up the snow to observe the direction of the glacier, and inadvertently discovered that there were occasional fish swimming under the ice. Although separated by a thick layer of ice, the vitality still made people happy.

After walking for a while, Zhang Shi suddenly stopped, his eyes drawn to a strange sight ahead. In the distance, he saw a huge, oddly shaped rock rising up, resembling the entrance to an old warehouse. With a sudden thought, he decided to go forward and investigate.

As he approached, Zhang Shi realized that the stone wasn't naturally formed, but rather had been artificially carved. Complex totems and symbols were carved into the surface of the boulder, and despite the erosion of time, the profound meaning behind them could still be felt.

He circled the boulder several times, trying to find a way in, but there was nothing but a vast expanse of white snow.

Just as Zhang Shi was about to give up, he noticed a tiny crack on one side of the stone, seemingly formed naturally by seasonal changes or geological movement. He carefully inserted his old tool into the crack and gently pried it open. With a soft "click," as if triggering some kind of mechanism, the boulder slowly split open, revealing a deep cave.

Zhang Shi took a deep breath, lit a torch, and seeing that the torch was not extinguished, he stepped into this unknown underground space.

The cave was freezing cold, but drier than the outside. It was obviously a specially treated shelter or storage room.

The light of the torch illuminated the surroundings, and he was surprised to find that the cave was filled with all kinds of supplies - from food to clothing, from tools to weapons, everything, as if it was a preparation for the coming disaster.

"Who left this behind? And why is it hidden here?"

Zhang Shi was full of doubts, but he quickly organized his thoughts and walked closer to study the secrets of this mysterious cave in detail.

The cave seemed to be a storage room that had been abandoned for a long time and was covered with dust.

The remaining materials have also been corroded and weathered, and most of them can no longer be used.

Zhang Shi tried to identify it with Ding Zhen, but found nothing. Zhang Shi remembered that he had tried to make his own stone, but couldn't fit it into his backpack.

"Could it be that the system doesn't recognize it?"

After searching the cave again, Zhang Shi was disappointed to find nothing valuable.

Then he left the underground storage room in a huff, marking the spot as usual before leaving.

The journey back was uneventful. Zhang Shi drove at full speed all the way and satisfied his passion for racing.

Everything was normal in the shelter. It seemed that the annihilation of the snow ape group had frightened the wild beasts in the wilderness. The area around the shelter was unusually quiet today.

Zhang Shi thought of Sheng Mu and became curious again, so he lay on the bed and opened the chat channel to check.

As soon as I opened the chat channel, I found myself catching up on big news. A person named Chen Hu sent a video in the chat channel.

In the video, a disheveled young woman is tied to a bed in a stone house, staring blankly at the ceiling with a dull look in her eyes. Her body is covered in bruises, clearly showing signs of torture.

Outside the screen, a sharp male voice appeared, teasing in a mocking tone.

"Oh, Holy Mother, please help people to the end. I want the supplies, I want the house, I want the people too, hahahaha!"

After that, the picture zoomed in, and a rusty hammer appeared in the picture, smashing towards the woman's head.

The man's force was so great that he created a dent in the woman's skull. The woman didn't even have time to scream before her head tilted and she lost consciousness.

Strands of dark red blood gushed out from the wound, but the man did not stop and continued to hit the woman's head, as if the two of them had some deep hatred.

What’s even more terrifying is that the man outside the screen actually laughed as the hammer fell again and again.

The laughter was accompanied by the crisp sound of cracking skulls, which made people's hair stand on end and was extremely terrifying.

The video ended abruptly here, but it was like a bomb, detonating the silent chat channel.

Cheng Xiaobai: Damn, this guy is a pervert. He tortured and killed people and still laughed. You can just wait to go to jail.

Zhu Dachang: Hey, where does a prison even exist in this wild world? Without the constraints of law and morality, this world is a paradise for perverted criminals.

Ge Dalong: I just checked, and Sheng Mu's profile picture suddenly turned black. It's very likely that something happened to him. The woman in the video is most likely Sheng Mu himself.

Hou Kun: Oh, it's hard to say. Sheng Mu's virginal heart overflowed, but in the end, it got him killed. But Chen Hu is really a beast. If I catch him, I will definitely send him to hell.

Zhang Shi was also shocked by Chen Hu's brutal behavior. Although he had adapted to the law of the jungle in the wilderness, he was still furious at the slaughter of his compatriots. This inhumane behavior made Zhang Shi want to tear him into pieces immediately.

I clicked on Chen Hu's profile picture and saw a thin middle-aged man with fierce eyes. He didn't look like someone who was easy to get along with.

Zhang Shi looked at the face in front of him and felt that it looked familiar. After careful recollection, he remembered that this person had been on the news in his original world for murdering a neighbor's family of four.

The incident caused a particularly bad response at the time, with major media outlets scrambling to report on it. Even the higher-ups were alarmed and issued a special notice.

Logically speaking, Chen Hu should have been executed. It was probably because everyone traveled to the wilderness world and saved his life.

In the chat channel, more and more people saw the video and began to denounce Chen Hu's despicable behavior. Many hot-blooded young people even cursed him, saying that if they met him in real life, they would pull out his hair and slap him in the face.

Just when everyone was cursing fiercely, the person involved, Chen Hu, appeared.

Chen Hu: Do you all want to see me so badly? Okay, then I'll be more diligent and look for the next lucky winner right away.

The entire chat channel was bombarding Chen Hu one second, and became silent the next second.
