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

At the same time, Chen Beipan was leading a group of mutual aid association members and following the one-eyed dragon and his two companions towards a shelter.

"Zhang Shi is ahead of the curve and a tough nut to crack. Boss Bell's plan is to first destroy and capture all the shelters around him. When the time is right, we'll deploy a large army to crush him in one fell swoop."

The adjutant walked beside Chen Beipan with his hands behind his back and told him Bell's plan.

Although Chen Beipan was unhappy with the Eagle Group's infiltration, he didn't show it. For him, if he could eliminate Zhang Shi, he would instantly become the strongest survivor in the division, making things much easier.

"It's just that the distribution of all the survivors is random. If they encounter people from other major forces, it may cause unnecessary conflicts."

Chen Beipan pretended to be worried, but in fact he had already figured out the survivor forces in the vicinity and knew that there were people from the Alliance of Light. His original intention was to kill two birds with one stone and use the Eagle Group to clean up the hostile forces at the same time.

The redneck looked very arrogant, stroking the rifle with his hand and speaking very arrogantly.

"Humph, they're just a bunch of beggars playing house. Do they deserve to be called a force? Besides, no matter how powerful they are, can they be as big as our Eagle Group?"

The one-eyed man glared at Redneck but did not scold him. This showed that he was very arrogant in his heart and thought that there was nothing wrong with what Redneck said.

The members of the mutual aid association on the side were a little dissatisfied. The redneck's words were like nails falling into their ears. Coupled with the hot weather, the anger in the hearts of several troublemakers suddenly rose, and they began to mutter in a sarcastic tone.

"Bull Demon Tester, we provided all your summer heat medicine, what are you wasting time on?"

Redneck is also a person with a bad temper. When he heard someone making indirect accusations against him and making him feel disgusted, he picked up his fists and started fighting with these temporary companions.

Those troublemakers were also full of martial virtues. They relied on their numbers and hit hard. Although Redneck was a martial artist, he was suddenly hit by a club and felt dizzy. He fell into a disadvantage for a while.

Chen Beipan, seeing the conflict, tried to persuade them to stop, but he never took any real action. It was only when the one-eyed dragon, seeing the red neck was about to suffer, that he forcibly dragged him away and, with his weapon, stopped the farce.

……

Meanwhile, Liu Yu's Bright Alliance had also been secretly recruiting personnel and purchasing equipment. One of the vice presidents had even gathered a large group of people, acting without first notifying Liu Yu, and preparing to raid a Mutual Aid Association stronghold under cover of night.

As luck would have it, the two groups were heading in the same direction, so there was a high probability of a collision.

Someone revealed this matter to Liu Yu, and he personally transmitted it through some means. Before he could open his mouth to scold, he was stopped by the members.

"Chief, don't be soft-hearted. The people from the Mutual Aid Association have abused their power to bully others, robbing and extorting our alliance members more than once or twice. I think they are deliberately targeting us. If we don't fight back, the alliance will be completely devoured by them sooner or later."

"Yeah, the other side is riding on our faces, and they still have some temper. In my opinion, we might as well fight them."

"okay!"

Chen Beipan's face was gloomy, and his eyes were fixed on the vice president who was preparing to act on his own without reporting.

"Vice President Tang, you have to give me an explanation for what happened today!"

Liu Yu still had some prestige in the alliance. As soon as he opened his mouth, the originally noisy scene instantly became quiet.

The vice president surnamed Tang had red eyes and knelt on the ground.

"Chief, I, Tang Hao, take full responsibility for what happened today. It's just that the Mutual Aid Association went too far, colluding with the Eagle Group and plundering everywhere. Many of our brothers who didn't move to the base were bullied by them. Several young men lost their lives when they argued with them..."

Tang Hao's words made everyone present even angrier. Some of the hot-tempered ones even cursed loudly, shouting that they wanted to avenge their brothers.

Seeing the crowd's excitement, Liu Yu knew that the arrow had to be shot today. After glaring at Tang Hao, he waved his hand helplessly.

"This is a major matter. As the leader, I should lead by example. Besides, the specific actions still need to be planned. It's not too late for us to calm down and discuss countermeasures before taking action."

……

Wu Qing carefully tended the plants in her shelter. Illuminated by giant sunflowers, her shelter remained dark even at night. The Shennongjia trees allowed her crops to grow rapidly, and many high-quality plants even developed spirituality. Her shelter was a vast treehouse, surrounded by tangled vines and thorns, capable of attacking intruders. Ordinary beasts and enemies offered no threat.

After finishing the work in hand, Wu Qing was still sweating even though there were plants regulating the temperature. Putting down the tools in her hands, Wu Qing planned to take a bath to cool down.

She took out the ice cubes given by Zhang Shi from the cellar and put them into the bathtub. She then tore off some rose petals and sprinkled them into the water. Then Wu Qing lay down in the bathtub.

The ice cubes cooled down the already warm water. Wu Qing enjoyed the brief moment of comfort and tranquility. She took a long breath and was about to close her eyes for a short nap when she suddenly heard a burst of noisy sounds outside.

"President, we've discovered something up ahead. There's a big sunflower that's still glowing."

"Wow, this can't be a shelter, look, there's a tree house on top of that tree, we're rich now."

"What's the big deal? I think this shelter is most likely owned by Zhang Shi's men. Let's take it down and use it as a frontline command post."

Wu Qing sat up and heard the bustling sounds outside. Someone mentioned Zhang Shi. She thought of the recent actions of the Eagle Group and became alert. She put on her clothes, leaned against the window and took a look at the crowd below. Seeing that there were quite a few of them, she picked up the totem and was on guard. She also sent a message to Zhang Shi for help.

The people below were the members of the mutual aid association led by Chen Beipan and the three mercenaries from the Eagle Group.

Chen Beipan looked at the towering tree and felt a little moved, but he did not rush forward to attack immediately. After all, those who could live in such a shelter were definitely not ordinary people.

Redneck didn't care about that. He climbed over the fence with his musket and ran towards the vegetable garden. Then he picked a fresh fruit and put it in his mouth. Suddenly, a thorn swung at him like a whip. Although Redneck was reckless, he still had some skills. He fell to the ground in a panic and dodged the attack.

Before Redneck could catch his breath, more thorns bound him like a python, wrapping him up like a dumpling. The sharp thorns cut through Redneck's skin, making him scream and even drop the musket in his hand to the ground.

Seeing his companions in danger, the one-eyed dragon didn't care about anything else and called on everyone to come forward to help. The members of the mutual aid association had originally refused to listen to the one-eyed dragon's command, but now they were blinded by the interests of the people. One person took the lead and others followed. In an instant, all the members of the mutual aid association rushed forward, using sharp weapons to cut through the thorny vines. Not even Chen Beipan could stop them.
