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

After fighting with the Eagle Group for a whole morning, it was already time for lunch. Zhang Shi wiped the sweat from his forehead and threw it on the ground. The sweat actually made a crackling sound.

"This temperature is no longer suitable for biological life."

Today is the third day of the extreme heat disaster. The temperature has reached nearly 50 degrees Celsius, but the animals and plants in the wilderness world are still growing wildly, as if they have some resistance to this extreme environment.

According to the laws of severe cold disasters, Zhang Shi inferred that this should be the highest temperature point. If this is correct, the temperature will slowly drop in a short time.

Because his shelter was destroyed and the temperature was so unbearable, Ge Dalong didn't even eat lunch. He just sat on the sofa and operated the system to check information.

By the afternoon, Ge Dalong fell ill, the kind that fell asleep immediately after being sick. Zhang Shi saw that his face was red, so he touched his forehead and found that Ge Dalong really had a fever.

Logically speaking, a survivor with a high physical attribute like Ge Dalong would not get sick easily, but Ge Dalong fell ill.

Zhang Shi realized that the situation was serious and called Wu Qing for help. Wu Qing had heard that Ge Dalong was ill and had prepared a lot of medicine and medical supplies before coming.

When he arrived at Zhang Shi's place, he ignored the changes in the shelter, checked Ge Dalong's condition, and directly prepared a solvent and injected a needle into Ge Dalong's arm.

"He doesn't just have a fever, he's poisoned!"

Wu Qing's words made Zhang Shi frown.

"poisoned?"

Wu Qing nodded and continued.

"Don't worry, everything is under control. I've already injected him with a drug to suppress the virus. He'll be fully recovered after a day of rest."

"You two should be together and recall what he came into contact with and how he got poisoned."

Zhang Shi thought about it, but couldn't recall what Ge Dalong had been exposed to alone. After the two returned from his shelter, Zhang Shi was still alive and kicking, which meant that Ge Dalong must have been poisoned in the cave. The source of the poison could only be determined by Ge Dalong's recollection after he woke up.

After Wu Qing dealt with Ge Dalong, she looked towards the shelter with interest and asked.

"What treasure did you get? The spiritual energy in the shelter is so rich."

Zhang Shi looked at her with wide eyes.

"Do you recognize spiritual energy?"

Wu Qing raised the corner of her mouth slightly, revealing a dimple.

"Don't look down on me too much. The plants in my house can gather spiritual energy. Absorbing spiritual energy for a long time can enhance your physical fitness and magic power."

"By the way, why is Lao Ge here with you? Do you three have some little secret? Why didn't you call me?"

Zhao Feng grinned.

"There's no such thing as a little secret. Lao Ge's house was burned down by the Eagle Group, so I'm staying here for a while."

"Eagle Group? Isn't Lao Ge's shelter inside the cliff? How could they be found here?"

Zhang Shi shook his head.

"It's unclear whether the Eagle Group encountered us by chance or was deliberately targeted. In any case, you have to be more careful."

……

In the evening, the barracks recruitment was completed, and a 1.9-meter-tall, muscular man in ancient costume with a dark face appeared in front of the barracks. When the black-faced man saw Zhang Shi, he knelt on one knee and saluted Zhang Shi respectfully.

"Meet the lord!"

Zhang Shi helped the black-faced man up and asked him his name and past experience.

The dark-faced man tilted his head, his eyes moving back and forth, as if trying to recall his past. After a while, he knelt down again.

"My Lord, I can't remember anything."

Zhang Shi touched his chin, looked at Zhao Feng, and had some guesses in his mind.

"It's okay, get up quickly. From now on, you will be called Zhang Dazhuang, and you will be responsible for protecting me and everyone else in the shelter. This is your equipment."

Zhang Shi helped Da Zhuang up again and took a look at his attributes.

Race: human

Experience value: Level 1

Grade: Ordinary

Power: 10

Agility: 4

Constitution: 10

Mana: 0

Talent: None

Ability value: 6

Seeing that his attributes were rather average, Zhang Shi thought for a moment and then threw him a set of fine iron protective gear.

When Dazhuang saw the fine iron equipment, his eyes lit up. After thanking Zhang Shi, he couldn't wait to put on the protective gear.

Zhang Shi keenly captured his joy.

"It seems that in Dazhuang's subconscious, fine iron equipment is a very good thing."

Zhang Shi took out a bow and a spear and handed them to him, then took him to familiarize himself with the environment in the shelter. After explaining some matters, Zhang Shi discovered that Da Zhuang was not the simple-minded and strong-limbed soldier he looked like. Instead, he was very smart and could draw inferences from one example.

Zhang Shi was secretly happy in his heart, thinking that the 200 gold coins were really worth it.

Xiaomei walked over quickly and told Zhang Shi that Ge Dalong had woken up. Zhang Shi and Zhao Feng hurried back to the fortress.

At this moment, Ge Dalong was lying flat on the bed, his face pale and looking a little weak. Pipi was lying on his chest, licking his cheek with her little tongue.

Seeing Zhang Shi and Zhao Feng coming over, Ge Dalong picked up Pipi and propped himself up to sit up.

"Excuse me, I suddenly felt unwell all over and passed out."

Zhang Shi pushed him onto the bed.

"Have a good rest. Wu Qing came over this afternoon and said you were poisoned."

Ge Dalong's face suddenly changed color.

Seeing this, Zhao Feng repeated Wu Qing's diagnosis verbatim.

Ge Dalong tapped his fingers rhythmically on the bed, and spoke after a moment.

"I guess it was that boss who did it. Do you remember that after I beat him up, the blood he vomited was all black?"

Zhang Shi recalled that things seemed to be exactly as Ge Dalong said, but there were still many doubts, such as why only Ge Dalong was poisoned while he was still full of energy.

Zhao Feng waved his hand.

"Forget it, forget it. A dead person can't prove anything. You're not seriously injured, so don't think about those useless things. Let's eat first. I'm starving."

Zhang Shi called out and asked Xiaomei to bring the food directly to Ge Dalong's room. The three of them, plus Dazhuang, began to enjoy dinner.

Zhao Feng was already a big eater, but he didn't expect that Da Zhuang had an even bigger appetite. After getting Zhang Shi's consent, he ate twenty big meat buns in one breath, and his chopsticks were not idle either, constantly putting vegetables into the bowl.

Zhang Shi and the other two were shocked by Da Zhuang's appetite, which made Da Zhuang feel a little embarrassed. He put down his bowl and chopsticks and scratched his head embarrassedly.

"My Lord, please forgive me for laughing. Although I eat a lot, I can still work. With me here, the territory will definitely be safe."

Zhang Shi smiled and nodded.

"It's okay. Being able to eat is a blessing. Eat as much as you want."

On the side, Lao Bai leaned over to report to Zhang Shi about the affairs in the shelter today.

"Master, the sheep have given birth to six young, and some of the ewes have begun to produce milk. I have collected the milk and stored it all in the refrigerator. The Kun chicken has laid another clutch of eggs, and the hens are hatching them. I expect chicks in two days. The wild boar cubs are growing well, and their appetite has doubled. In the farmland, the golden rice is growing well. I have compiled a list of the other vegetables and fruits I have harvested. Please review it."

Zhang Shi took a look at the list and was very satisfied with Lao Bai's work. He then gave him the rights to produce goat milk wine and gave him some instructions.

"You can start making goat milk wine now. Once the first batch is made, show it to me."
