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

Five iron storage boxes were neatly placed in the corner of the room. Even though the surface was covered with dust, the boxes were not rusted and were still sturdy. It seemed that the things inside were well preserved.

Zhang Shi carefully checked and found that this storage box was similar to the system backpack, and was actually a space-type prop, but it only had five grids and a weight limit.

Zhang Shi grinned, knowing that he had found a treasure this time, and began to check the contents of the box with great interest.

The most numerous item is the Gold Essence Stone. All the space in the first box is filled with it. A conservative estimate is that there are more than 5000 units of Gold Essence Stone in this storage box.

Zhang Shi was overjoyed and opened other storage boxes to check, and finally obtained a huge amount of basic resources.

Among them, Zhang Shi didn't even look at the various ordinary quality resources such as wood, pig iron, food and even gold coins, and skipped them directly. What he cared about were those quality items.

The highest-grade items among them are a formation plate and a set of armor. They seem to be the treasures of the original owner of this shelter and have extremely excellent properties.

[Spirit Gathering Array Plate (Purple) x1: A magical artifact that can gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It is even more effective when used with certain array formations.]

[Golden Stone Heavy Armor (Purple) x1: Heavy armor crafted from golden stone, offering excellent defensive capabilities. Wearing this armor grants Strength +5, Heat Resistance +5, and increases melee damage by 20%.]

Zhang Shi handed the heavy armor to Zhao Feng without a second thought. His main means of attack at this stage was bows and arrows, so the melee properties of this thing would be wasted on him.

Zhao Feng didn't hesitate to put on the heavy armor after receiving it, replacing his old equipment. Now, before Zhang Shi appeared a "golden man" covered in iron armor.

The heavy armor made of gold essence stone naturally glowed and shone brightly. Combined with Zhao Feng's height, it made him look like a golden-armored giant, quite imposing.

Zhao Feng smiled with satisfaction and stretched his body. He found that the heavy armor didn't feel heavy at all, and his joints didn't feel sluggish. Furthermore, his body felt as if it had an air conditioner installed, feeling cool and refreshing, not stuffy.

Ignoring Zhao Feng who was jumping around in the room, Zhang Shi turned his attention to other props.

There were a plethora of items, large and small, of varying qualities, but Zhang Shi only had a few he could use right now. Among them, there were a fair number of green-quality [Shelter Migration Cards] and [Resource Generation Cards], five of each. Apparently, these items weren't rare for the original owner.

In addition, what surprised Zhang Shi the most was that he actually found rice seedlings, and the quality of this rice was not low.

[Golden Rice Seedlings (Green) x3: Refined-grade rice, cold-resistant and heat-resistant, it survives immediately upon planting. It can adapt to various extreme weather conditions, has a short growth cycle, and produces high yields. Consuming a certain amount permanently increases physical attributes.]

Zhang Shi hasn't eaten a single grain of rice since he came here through time. What he can't get will always make him restless. Zhang Shi looked at the golden rice seedlings in front of him and couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

Zhao Feng also came over at this time, his eyes shining.

"Hey, last time you gave me a plate of dumplings made of flour with exquisite attributes, after I ate them, all my attributes increased a little. This time, this rice is to increase a single attribute. Maybe it can increase my physical fitness quite a bit at once."

Zhang Shi placed the items he had obtained back into his storage box, then with a flourish, he placed the five boxes into his backpack. This time, he had a good harvest, and he was almost done with the materials needed to upgrade his shelter to level five. Because of the Eagle Regiment incident, Zhang Shi discovered that his shelter's defenses still had flaws, and his anticipation for the fortress's completion grew even stronger.

"Don't just stand there. This ruins is full of treasures. Let's make full use of them."

After saying that, Zhang Shi took out Lao Duan and chopped the wall with a knife. The whole blade was immersed in it. Zhang Shi slashed it hard, and after a moment, he cut out a neat piece of gold stone.

Zhang Shi tried it out and found that the cut gold essence stone could be put into the backpack, so he immediately called Zhao Feng to take action.

After a whole day of hard work, the two men moved all the usable furniture and furnishings in the house. Zhang Shi even did what he said and completely dismantled the shelter, taking away all the gold stones used as building materials.

The farmland outside wasn't spared either. Zhao Feng scooped up the high-quality soil, spading it into wooden barrels. He even collected a good deal of the water from the underground river.

"Hey, this underground river has a large flow, so the water source problem has been solved."

Zhang Shi nodded, looked up at the glowing boulder above him, and sighed. The stone was clearly not ordinary. It was a shame they couldn't work at height, otherwise they would definitely find a way to knock it down and take it away.

Zhang Shi and Zhao Feng returned to the shelter contentedly, handing over some of their gains to Lao Bai, who would then process and store the supplies. As for the Spirit Gathering Array, Zhang Shi, having experienced the benefits of spiritual energy, placed it in his bedroom. He could sense a faint aura emanating from the entire shelter, evidently indicating the array was taking effect.

Pipi and Leopard were more sensitive to the changes in the shelter. They paced back and forth around the formation, and finally both lay down in Zhang Shi's bedroom, greedily absorbing the spiritual energy and unwilling to leave.

Zhang Shi called Zhao Feng along, and while it was still light, the two of them began cultivating the farmland. After a while, replacing the black soil they had brought back from the ruins, Zhang Shi suddenly had over a dozen plots of high-quality farmland.

Finally, Zhang Shi planted all three golden rice seedlings in the farmland, watered them and fertilized them. He couldn't wait to ripen the rice so that he could eat the delicious rice.

In the evening, Xiaomei brought out two plates of exquisite stir-fries, and the main course was buns stuffed with wild boar meat.

Zhang Shi took a bite and, you know what, the robot's cooking skills were impeccable. Every step of the cooking was done to perfection, and the food tasted much better than Zhang Shi's.

Zhao Feng swallowed a meat bun in one gulp and asked vaguely.

"By the way, Stone. I've always been curious about whether this relic is related to Huo Village. Why are there carvings and keys? I'm a little nervous."

Zhang Shi also had some doubts about this. The key taken out from the copy could open the secret door of the ruins near the shelter. This was too much of a coincidence, as if it was arranged by someone.

"Actually, I don't understand the situation either, but the outcome is still good. Let's just gather a lot of fat right away. After a while, when everyone's strength has increased, we can go back to Huo Village and wipe out those monsters in one fell swoop. Then there will be no hidden dangers in the future."

Zhao Feng grabbed another meat bun and stuffed it into his mouth, nodding.

"Yeah, that's the truth."

After the two of them swept through the shelter, Lao Bai appeared and reported to Zhang Shi about the situation in the shelter today.

"Two Kun chickens have successfully laid eggs, and several sheep are showing signs of producing milk. Many vegetables in the garden are ripe again, and Xiaomei and I have already picked them."

"The charcoal kiln has been firing bricks, and the finished products are already stacked in the courtyard. As per your request, the iron produced by the smelting furnace has been sorted by quality and stored separately in the warehouse."
