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

At dawn the next day, everything in the shelter was running normally, and everyone was performing their duties, but everyone's movements were more agile, adding a sense of urgency to the shelter.

Zhang Shi and Zhao Feng led a team of twenty people to set off, with the destination being two resource mines outside the shelter.

Zhang Shi carefully looked around along the way. Although he could find traces of passing creatures, he did not find any zombies.

Unable to figure out whether this situation was a good thing or a bad thing, Zhang Shi had no choice but to lead his team forward. After arranging the mining work, Zhang Shi and Zhao Feng chose a platform in the sulfur mine and deployed the teleportation array. After warning the soldiers on how to use it and what to pay attention to, Zhao Feng left the supervisor behind, while Zhang Shi walked to the plain outside the shelter and took out an exquisite-level resource generation card. Zhang Shi used it directly without any hesitation.

In an instant, a small river more than ten meters wide appeared in front of him, surrounding the entire shelter. "Now I'm not afraid of another wave of zombies. At least there is a buffer space."

Zhang Shi found a place closer to the other shore, jumped lightly, activated the Shadow Step and moved to the other shore. Pippi had been waiting for him on the shore for a long time. When he saw Zhang Shi coming back, he jumped into his legs excitedly. superior.

In the shelter, Ge Dalong led people to use wood as raw materials and pig iron to make a giant horse. Ge Dalong used an iron knife to test its sturdiness, and when he was satisfied, he ordered the soldiers to manufacture it in large quantities. Wait until the next zombie wave, this thing can play a considerable role.

Wu Qing moved the botanical garden to the wall. Countless plants climbed along the golden stone wall. Various vines, thorns, and piranhas stood on the top of the wall, enclosing the front of the shelter airtight. It looked quite Safety.

The engineers were still hammering away at the research center. Zhang Shi added five more engineers because of the shortage of weapons and equipment. In the current research center, ten engineers are working intensively, refining steel, synthesizing gunpowder, or manufacturing weapons and equipment. In short, their work is the most important. Zhang Shi specially ordered Xiaomei to prepare some energy-reviving food and provide it in unlimited quantities for the engineering soldiers.

The support soldiers cooperated with Wu Qing to concoct various potions in time for meal time, and also assisted Xiao Mei in preparing meals for everyone in the shelter, focusing on logistics work.

The scouts were ordered to patrol around the shelter and keep an eye on zombies, especially in the forest at the back entrance of the shelter. Last night, a large wave of zombies gathered there, but they did not attack the shelter because of the obstruction of the river. Now, although the temperature is slowly dropping, the water level of the river has dropped to a dangerous level. He cannot use the resource generation card until the river completely dries up. Therefore, the back door became a hidden danger, and Zhang Shi could only order the scouts to guard it closely to prevent zombie attacks.

…

After Zhang Shi returned to the shelter, before he could rest, Ge Dalong pulled him and led a dozen commandos outside the main gate to dig a deep pit in the middle of the plain.

"Two lines of defense are not yet safe. Last night there were some ordinary-level zombies, which already made us miserable. I'm afraid that as time goes by, the zombies will evolve and nip it in the bud. Let's get tired as much as possible. ”

The shelter has been expanded several times and is quite large. It requires digging a deep pit around the perimeter, which is a huge workload and the total construction length is far more than one hundred meters. Even with the blessing of high-quality tools, more than a dozen people were still busy until noon.

In the wild world, construction type work is greatly simplified. The Juma that Ge Dalong made in the morning had been copied by the soldiers more than twenty times by noon.

Ge Dalong put these resisting horses into his backpack, and then arranged them on the edge of the pit according to a certain arrangement, forming the third line of defense of the shelter.

After a day of hard work, Zhang Shi was worried that there would be a wave of corpses at night, so he specially arranged for people to slaughter a few sheep to reward the soldiers. Even the team mining in the mine had freshly roasted whole lamb through Zhao Feng's transaction.

The soldiers originally respected and were loyal to Zhang Shi. After experiencing a big battle last night, they felt a sense of belonging to the shelter. Zhang Shi supported them with lavish food and meat, which made these soldiers who had not lost their past experiences burst into tears and expressed their willingness to die for Zhang Shi.

Just kidding, a soldier costs a lot of time and money. How could Zhang Shi be willing to let them get hurt? Before the antidote appeared in large quantities, Zhang Shi would not let any soldiers end up fighting hand-to-hand with the corpses.

In the afternoon, Zhang Shi received another piece of good news. The engineering soldier's professional skills are different from the conventional upgrade mode. Perhaps due to several days of high-intensity work, Gong Yi was actually upgraded, and his title was upgraded from the original engineer to a craftsman.

Zhang Shi checked his attributes and found that except for the grade becoming advanced, the other attributes had not changed, so he called Gong Yi aside and asked him personally.

"Reporting to the lord, after upgrading, I feel that my construction speed has been significantly improved. Many memories have also flooded into my mind. I have learned the manufacturing process of several props."

After Zhang Shi heard this, he became interested and asked Gong Yi to describe it in turn.

After a while, Zhang Shi's ears were attracted by the word "cannon", and his eyes shone. After confirming that the cannon that Gong hit was the cannon that fired the shells in his memory, Zhang Shi's voice trembled with excitement.

"Go, go make it now, call me immediately when it's done!"

Gong Yi noticed the lord's mood swings and immediately trotted back to the research center and devoted himself to the production of the cannon.

During the defensive battle last night, explosives could only be thrown by primitive means such as catapults, with a short attack distance and low frequency. If Gong Yi's cannon is really successful, it will be enough to rewrite the battlefield situation. After a round of volleys, even if there are more zombies, they will be wiped out, and the soldiers will not have to fight all night without being able to completely clear the zombies.

Near sunset, Zhao Feng returned with a full load of sulfur and saltpeter in his backpack. Zhang Shi sent all these mineral resources to the research center. Just as Gong Yi made the cannon, Zhang Shi led everyone to the wall for testing.

Zhang Shi first took a look at the properties of the cannon.

[Fine Iron Cannon (Green): A primitive firearm that can fire various ammunition, has a long range, great power, is easy to carry, and can produce different effects with different shells. It is a nightmare for infantry. 】

Returning his gaze to the main body of the cannon, the main structure of the cannon is a barrel, with a gun carriage and pulley installed below for easy transportation. The barrel is made of fine iron. After loading the ammunition into the barrel, it can be fired through the mechanism at the tail. The flint inside the mechanism can ignite the gunpowder in the ammunition chamber, thereby firing the ammunition.

Gong Yi took out the explosive bomb specially made for the cannon, filled it into the barrel, and then signaled Zhang Shi to fire.

Zhang Shi slowly shook the wheel at the tail of the cannon to adjust the angle and aimed at the small river a few hundred meters away.

"Bang!"

As Zhang Shi pressed the mechanism, the shell was successfully fired. A moment later, the explosive bomb fell in the middle of the river, causing huge waves. Many fish and shrimps in the river were blown into powder, and the river immediately became much more turbid.
