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

The news of the coming severe cold spread quickly among the survivors. The entire trading market was very lively, with nearly 8,000 people participating in it, and orders were placed almost every second.

A steady stream of wood was put into the backpack, and Zhang Shi added some more wood to the charcoal kiln. After returning to the stone house, he found that the batch of iron ore that had been put into the smelting furnace had been refined, and the ratio of ordinary pig iron to high-grade refined iron was about 3 to 1.

Zhang Shi felt that the potential of iron resources had not been fully developed, so he collected all the iron he had obtained and did not plan to trade it for the time being.

After investing some more iron ore, Zhang Shi checked the spoils obtained after killing the gray wolf.

[Wolf meat 30kg (white) X1: Dangerous beast in the wilderness world. The meat is tender and is a rare delicacy. ]

[Gray wolf skin (white) X1: Gray wolf fur, tight and warm, is the best choice for keeping out the cold. ]

Although it is only ordinary-grade meat and fur, it wins in large quantity.

Zhang Shi has accumulated nearly 60kg of fresh meat over the past few days. The temperature is not low enough now, so preservation is a problem.

Zhang Shi decided to make the fresh meat into smoked jerky while he had time.

First, he bought some salt at the trading market. According to the ratio of 50g salt for 1kg of meat, Zhang Shi bought a large amount of salt at a high price. He also made some simple smoking racks and prepared to make half of the fresh meat into smoked meat tonight.

At the beginning of the work, it took Zhang Shi two hours just to cut the meat. Even though Lao Duan was sharp, he couldn't handle the heavy workload. Zhang Shi sliced ​​and marinated at the same time.

When all the meat was cut into long strips, Zhang Shi felt that his head was about to faint.

After stuffing a plum into his mouth, Zhang Shi recovered his breath.

The first cut meat had been marinated. Zhang Shi lit several bonfires outside the stone house and smoked the meat strips on the smoking racks.

When all the work was done, Zhang Shi looked at the time and it was almost midnight.

He boiled some hot water and took a bath. After a busy day, Zhang Shi finally relaxed.

He checked the trading market and found that the charcoal he put on the shelf was very popular and sold out. There were still many people in the trading message below urging Zhang Shi to continue to put charcoal on the shelf.

Bloodthirsty Demon Realm: The product of the heroic boss must be a fine product. By the way, can the boss put more on the shelf? I am counting on this thing to resist the severe cold.

Prometheus: Grandson, don't let grandpa know your real name, otherwise I will definitely kill you offline.

Human-shaped Teddy: @Revitalize the man's masculinity, boss, can you pay attention to me?

...

This Prometheus has left harsh words under his trading order more than once.

Zhang Shi was annoyed and directly put him on the blacklist.

Looking at the time, it was finally 12 o'clock, and the wilderness world came to the fifth day.

Zhang Shi clicked on the gold finger and clicked to sign in.

"Thank you!"

System prompt, congratulations on signing in and getting:

[Hound (blue) X1: Pet. In the wilderness world, the most loyal partner of the survivors, with excellent growth potential. After the attribute panel is unlocked, you can view the specific attributes. ]

A blue light flashed, and a half-grown beagle appeared in front of Zhang Shi. After a few seconds of confusion, the beagle saw Zhang Shi in front of him clearly, with a bright light flashing in his big eyes. He shook his tail, pounced on Zhang Shi's chest, and licked his face fiercely.

Zhang Shi was lying flat on the bed, and the beagle succeeded accidentally, and his face was covered with saliva.

"Haha, haha, that's enough."

Zhang Shi sat up, picked up the beagle with one hand, and wiped the saliva on his face with the other hand.

Seeing Zhang Shi laugh, the beagle became even happier. Even when being lifted, the little tail kept shaking, and the big head twisted and turned, trying to break free.

Zhang Shi held the beagle with both hands and laid it flat on his stomach, and it finally stopped struggling.

The man and the dog stared at each other.

"Well, I have to give you a name first."

"Hey, I got it. I'll call you Pipi."

The beagle tilted its head in confusion, as if it didn't understand what Zhang Shi meant.

Zhang Shi thought for a while, pointed at Pipi, and said slowly.

"You, Pipi."

Pipi finally understood what Zhang Shi meant, and cried out happily, with its little tail wagging like a bamboo dragonfly.

Zhang Shi was very happy that he finally had a friend he could touch. He happily called Pipi's name, and Pipi heard Zhang Shi calling him and responded happily.

"Pipi."

"Woof!"

"Pipi."

"Woof!"

After teasing for a while, he remembered that Pipi might not have eaten yet.

Zhang Shi made two wooden basins and poured some high-quality well water and broth.

Pipi immediately ran to the food bowl happily and gobbled it up.

Zhang Shi squatted next to Pipi and pointed at its little head and warned it.

"I am your master. You will follow me from now on. You will eat whatever I eat. If I am in danger, you must be the first one to come. Do you hear me, Pipi?"

"Woof!"

Even when eating, Pipi did not leave Zhang Shi alone. He raised his head and a loud bark echoed in the stone house.

Zhang Shi lay back on the bed with satisfaction. Pipi's attribute indicates that he is a hunting dog, which means he must have talent in this area. After the injury is healed, one person and one dog will act together, which will save a lot of trouble.

After taking a look at the high-level treasure chest obtained from hunting the black bear, Zhang Shi chose to use the double privilege to open it.

Ding, successfully opened the high-level treasure chest (blue), triggered the VIP privilege, doubled the items, and obtained:

[Food cabinet (blue) X2: Furniture used to store food, which can greatly slow down the speed of food spoilage. ]

[Ice Lotus Ointment 200g (blue) X2: Ointment made from blue ice lotus, has a miraculous effect on external injuries. Apply it on the wound, which can greatly speed up the healing of the wound. ]

Zhang Shi was very satisfied with the quality of this treasure chest. The two items opened were of high-level quality. It's a pity that I worked hard all night and now look like a clown.

Put the food cabinet next to the fireplace and put the remaining fresh meat and some perishable food into the food cabinet.

Zhang Shi returned to the bed and prepared to apply medicine to the wound on his calf.

The ice lotus ointment was cool and refreshing, and it felt numb when applied to the wound.

Zhang Shi knew that the ointment was working.

"I hope this medicine can heal my wound sooner."

The severe cold is coming, and every day before the natural disaster is extremely precious. Zhang Shi thought about it and felt that there was still a lot of work to be prepared.

Severe cold weather will inevitably lead to snowfall. Since it can be called a natural disaster, it must be accompanied by a blizzard.

The shelter is located in a relatively flat plain area. It is still unknown how to deal with the snow and the subsequent drainage work.

Zhang Shi even planned to dig a big pit behind the shelter. After the severe cold weather disaster comes, the snow will be piled there. When the disaster is over and the snow melts, the accumulated water will be guided to the big pit.

Thinking about it, Zhang Shi felt a little sleepy.

After re-bandaging the wound, Zhang Shi extinguished the oil lamp and fell asleep with Pipi in his arms.
