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

After Zhang Shi learned from Ge Dalong that the other party was from the Eagle Group, he sneered and thought that it was really a narrow road for enemies to meet. He took out the compound bow in his hand and was ready to start a killing spree.

At this time, in the yard of Ge Dalong's shelter, three survivors who obviously looked foreigners were sweating profusely as they searched everywhere for useful supplies. Seeing that Ge Dalong stayed indoors, the three of them thought that he was scared, so they began to act recklessly, moving like locusts passing through a border, and put everything they could take away into their backpacks.

Just as the three of them, engrossed in their plundering, relaxed their guard, an arrow and an icicle simultaneously pierced one of the Eagles. He was struck before he could even react. His body exploded like a bomb, shattering on the spot and turning into a bloody rain that drenched his companions.

The two were stunned for a moment, then quickly hid behind the building, only sticking their heads out to look at Zhang Shi.

"Brother, look, is that man Zhang Shi?"

One of them obviously recognized Zhang Shi and looked surprised.

The man called Big Brother's face also changed, and then he urgently contacted the top leaders of the Eagle Group to report the situation here, and then retreated cautiously to the rear.

Zhang Shi didn't expect that he was so famous. He was recognized by the other party as soon as he showed up. Then he realized that the situation was not good. His appearance might implicate Ge Dalong. He immediately decided to fight quickly and get rid of these two people as soon as possible.

The two men had already retreated outside the fence of the shelter, but Zhang Shi's arrow seemed to have locked onto their position, piercing through the wooden fence and hitting one of them in the throat.

At this point, the only one left in the Eagle Corps was the leader. Seeing Zhang Shi's precise archery and quick kills, he knew he was in great danger today, so he pulled several Molotov cocktails from his backpack and hurled them frantically around the shelter.

Seeing that the other party was determined to fight to the death, Ge Dalong was extremely angry. He waved his wand and three ice cones as big as his arms condensed in the air and shot towards the boss.

The boss hid behind the fence, trying to use the wooden board to block Ge Dalong's attack, but was knocked away by the distance, with black blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

Zhang Shi drew his bow and arrow, aimed at the boss's head, and prepared to finish him off.

"Hahaha, you two should be buried with me!"

The boss wiped the black blood from the corner of his mouth, took a look, and became frantic. He took out two homemade explosives and threw them into the burning building in front of him. Zhang Shi's arrow arrived late, piercing his head. The boss fell to the ground, his body suddenly bulging like a balloon, and then exploded, blood and body parts covering the two men.

"boom!"

A loud bang echoed through the cave as the homemade explosives, ignited by the flames, shattered the building ahead. In the dry, hot weather, the sparks from the explosion ignited other buildings, quickly creating a sea of ​​fire.

Ge Dalong tried to put out the fire with an ice pick, but it had little effect and the entire shelter was on fire. Seeing the fire getting bigger and bigger, Zhang Shi pulled him out of the shelter.

Even though Ge Dalong was usually calm, he was now thrown into disarray. Watching his hard work go up in flames, he felt bitter and resentful.

"Eagle Group, I will remember you!"

Zhang Shi patted his shoulder, wanting to comfort him but not knowing what to say.

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Shi felt that Ge Dalong was a trustworthy person, so he asked.

"A gentleman's revenge is never too late, but your location has been exposed to the Eagle Group. I suggest you find a place to stay and plan your strategy. Why not stay with me for a while? Zhao Feng is there too, so the three of us can keep each other company."

Ge Dalong quickly adjusted his mood and seemed to have accepted the reality that the shelter was destroyed. He nodded gratefully at Zhang Shi, and then the two of them were teleported back to Zhang Shi's shelter one after another.

Zhao Feng saw Ge Dalong also teleported over and asked curiously about the situation.

Ge Dalong had a bitter look on his face as he told Zhao Feng about the destruction of the shelter. Zhao Feng was furious when he heard that it was the Eagle Group's fault again.

"What kind of Eagle Group are they? They're just bandits, smashing, looting, and burning all the way!"

……

Zhang Shi had been monitoring the regional and world chat channels, but hadn't found any information related to the Eagle Group. Ever since the mercenaries' last defeat, the entire Eagle Group had kept a low profile, as if they were frightened by Zhang Shi's attack.

"I wonder what conspiracy this Bell is brewing."

Judging from the equipment of the Eagle Group exploration team, Bell must have a lot of alcohol and gunpowder in his hands. Zhang Shi was worried that they would assemble a team equipped with firearms to attack the shelter. By then, even if a few of them had higher levels and equipment, they would probably be injured by stray bullets.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shi clicked on the shelter interface and prepared to upgrade the shelter.

Although the fortress sounds like a military stronghold and not a place to live, Zhang Shi's coordinates have been exposed at this time, and it is a perfect place to defend it when the protective light curtain loses its effect.

After Zhang Shi selected the materials, he clicked the upgrade button without hesitation. A flash of pink light passed, and the original luxurious villa vanished, replaced by a fortress constructed of golden stone. In the sunlight, the fortress shimmered with a golden glow, appearing not oppressive but rather magnificent.

Zhang Shi used the Territory Control module to take a quick look and found that the internal structure and furniture arrangement had not changed much. There was only a thick outer wall that surrounded and protected the entire house, and four towers at the four corners, acting like sentry towers.

In the courtyard, all the buildings and farmlands have not changed. The wall still stands firmly in the wilderness, covered by an electric fence, which emits crackling sounds from time to time.

Looking down from above, the entire shelter looks like a miniature city. The space within the wall is the outer city, and the fortress is the inner city. It looks quite safe and solid.

Ge Dalong and Zhao Feng witnessed the changes in the shelter with their own eyes and marveled at the grandeur of the level five shelter.

"How about it? Are there any special item rewards after unlocking the fifth-level shelter?"

Zhao Feng asked excitedly.

Zhang Shi shook his head. There was no reward for this upgrade, but a new building, the barracks, was unlocked.

Zhang Shi did some research and found that by paying different amounts of gold coins and spending a certain amount of time, he could recruit soldiers. The types of soldiers are assault soldiers, support soldiers, engineers and scouts. The four types of soldiers are good at different fields. Correspondingly, the time and resources spent on different types of soldiers are also different. Among them, support soldiers are the cheapest and engineers are the most expensive.

After Zhang Shi spent some resources, an ordinary level one barracks was built. Zhang Shi began to think about which type of soldiers to recruit first.

Right now, the Black Mist Guards have not recovered yet, and what Zhang Shi needs most is combat power. After hesitating for a moment, he chose the assault soldiers.

After paying 200 gold coins, it only takes 8 hours to successfully recruit the commandos. Zhang Shi is full of anticipation for the upcoming helpers.
