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

Zhang Shi rubbed his calf, the wound aching slightly, it looked like it had broken open again. It was a pity that he didn't even have time to recover, as there were always those ignorant opponents who came looking for him.

Zhao Feng had already put out the flames near the villa. The Molotov cocktails used by the mercenaries were alcohol-based and not very destructive, so they didn't cause much damage to the building.

Outside the wall, the mercenaries suffered heavy losses. After weighing the pros and cons, the one-eyed man gave the order to retreat.

Zhang Shi relied on his territory control module to monitor the movements outside. He knew the other group was quite powerful and had a way to hurt him. Since his leg injury hadn't healed yet, it was not advisable to continue the fight, so Zhang Shi allowed them to withdraw.

Unlike when they arrived, the One-Eyed Dragon and his gang seemed to have the means of teleportation, and they evacuated cleanly and neatly without any delay.

"These people should have the coordinates of a nearby shelter."

Ge Dalong learned that Zhang Shi was attacked by other survivors again, and guessed that Zhang Shi’s neighbors might have been controlled by the Eagle Group.

"These people are really troublesome. Once we recover from our injuries, we need to go deeper into the woods and find a chance to destroy that shelter to prevent them from disturbing us."

Zhao Feng angrily shook his fist and cursed, extremely annoyed by the Eagle Group's two attacks.

Zhang Shi patted Zhao Feng's shoulder to comfort him.

"Don't worry. Our most important task right now is to recuperate and heal our wounds. Our opponent is no ordinary enemy. If we want to completely eliminate the hidden danger of the Eagle Regiment, we need to take it step by step."

……

At dawn the next day, Zhang Shi woke Zhao Feng up and showed him the props he had obtained by signing in today.

"Look at this thing. With it, we can live a peaceful life for a while."

Zhao Feng took the card from Zhang Shi and checked its effect.

[Sheltering Light Curtain (Purple) x1: After use, you can hide the shelter. Outsiders will be affected by the illusion and space array and will not be able to find the location of the shelter. The effect lasts for 3 days, with a cooldown of 3 days.]

Zhao Feng's eyes lit up.

"This thing is great. With it, I don't have to worry about my house being robbed. By the way, where did you get this thing?"

Zhang Shi was speechless for a moment, not knowing whether he should tell the secret of the sign-in system. Zhao Feng was very familiar with Zhang Shi. Seeing his reaction, he knew that Zhang Shi was unwilling to say more, so he hurriedly tried to make up for it.

"Forget it, it's not important. Just try this thing and see how it works."

Zhang Shi nodded, and with an idea, he cast a barrier over the shelter.

Zhao Feng waited for a long time but saw no special changes, so he asked in confusion.

"Are you sure you used it? Why aren't there any cool special effects?"

Zhang Shi smiled helplessly and pushed Zhao Feng out of the shelter.

Zhao Feng had just stepped out of the gate when he looked back and saw the shelter had suddenly vanished from sight. He tried to walk back, but there was only a patch of grass ahead. Zhao Feng, like a blind man, stretched out his hands and groped around, trying to confirm that the shelter had indeed vanished from sight.

A moment later, Zhang Shi appeared before Zhao Feng. On a whim, he listed Zhao Feng as an insider of the shelter. The entire shelter suddenly appeared before Zhao Feng, leaving him speechless with wonder.

"Wow, things related to illusion and space are really mysterious. It's right in front of me, but I can't see or touch it."

Zhao Feng carefully touched the iron door and confirmed that it was the real thing.

Zhang Shi took out the jeep seized from the bald man, got into the cab, and waved to Zhao Feng.

"Let's go to the mine. It's too hot. I'm worried the machines can't handle it."

Today was the second day of the extreme heatwave, with the perceived temperature already exceeding 40 degrees Celsius. Even survivors like Zhang Shi and Zhao Feng, who possessed strong physical attributes, felt extremely uncomfortable and had to swallow a heat-relief pill. However, Pipi and the leopard were in a much more difficult situation. Their thick fur prevented them from remaining in the scorching sun for long. Zhang Shi simply left them in the villa, where the two animal friends happily enjoyed the cool air conditioning.

On the path leading to the mine, the flowers and plants on both sides were a little wilted, and the branches and leaves of the trees were a little yellow.

"The temperature keeps rising. How do the wild animals hiding in the mountains and forests survive?"

Zhao Feng got a palm-leaf fan from somewhere and kept waving it, but the hotter he got.

The mine shelter was only a few hundred meters away, and Zhang Shi drove there purely for fun. After getting out of the car, they saw the pile of rocks that had been blocking them had been cleared away. They exchanged a glance and felt something was amiss.

Zhang Shi’s first reaction was that the Gray Wolf King had come to take revenge again. He immediately took out his weapon and put his ear against the mountain wall, trying to listen to the sound inside.

The mountain wall was scorching hot under the blazing sun, and it felt like it had been roasted by fire. As soon as Zhang Shi's face touched it, he cried out in surprise at the heat.

Zhang Shi blamed himself, worried that he might alert the enemy and disturb the creatures inside, so he didn't hesitate and quickly ran into the cave. Zhao Feng saw him doing this and drew his great axe and followed.

As soon as you enter the cave, you can hear the roar of mining machines. It seems that the two machines are still working and have not been damaged.

Zhang Shi felt relieved, but he didn't slow down his pace. Soon he arrived at the hall inside the mine.

Zhang Shi looked closely and saw an acquaintance.

It was the white tiger I had met once before. Two white tigers, one large and one small, were resting on a flat stone platform. The large tiger, upon seeing Zhang Shi enter, simply glanced up before lying down again. The small tiger, on the other hand, was quite excited. It must have remembered Zhang Shi, so it trotted over to him and rubbed its body against his calf.

Unfortunately, Zhang Shi's leg was still injured, and when Xiaohu touched it, he shivered in pain.

Xiaohu shrank back, thinking he had made a mistake. After circling around Zhang Shi, he lay on his feet and looked at Zhang Shi with his big watery eyes.

Big Tiger turned a deaf ear to what was happening here and just slept on his own. Zhang Shi saw that the other party did not seem to be hostile and was just taking shelter from the heat in this cave, so he was relieved and squatted down to rub Little Tiger.

Zhao Feng was a little confused about what was happening in front of him and could only stand there and watch the show, but he never let down his guard against Da Hu.

Zhang Shi carefully took out Ding Zhen and identified the attributes of the big tiger. To his surprise, even though Ding Zhen had evolved to a sophisticated level, it still could not identify the specific attributes of the big white tiger.

Realizing that Zhang Shi was looking at him, Da Hu opened his eyes and looked at him again, sniffing lightly. His eyes suddenly became sharp, and he stood up and walked towards Zhang Shi.

Zhang Shi was frightened by Da Hu's sudden move and didn't dare to move. The old Duan in his backpack was ready to be taken out at any time to deal with danger. Zhao Feng, who was standing next to him, also gripped the axe tightly and moved slowly towards Zhang Shi.

Da Hu ignored the performance of the two men. His huge body, which was almost as high as Zhang Shi's chest, circled around Zhang Shi and blew towards him fiercely.

Zhang Shi felt as if he was facing a raging hurricane and was about to fall.

After a moment, Da Hu withdrew his hand, and the feeling of being swept by the strong wind disappeared. Zhang Shi suddenly felt his body lighten, and saw a ray of black light being drawn out from his body and landing beside the distant mountain wall, turning into a black tiger with a completely black body but a dim and miniature body.

Zhang Shi suddenly understood a lot, and even in the extremely hot weather, cold sweat broke out on his back.

The mini black tiger still wanted to escape, but the white tiger was as fast as lightning and blocked its way. Without any unnecessary movement, it smashed the black tiger to pieces with one claw, and the tiger turned into wisps of black light and dissipated in the air.

After doing all this, Baihu yawned, returned to the stone platform, lay down and continued to doze off.
