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

Time was running out, so the four of them said goodbye and prepared to evacuate.

Before leaving, Wu Qing took out three pills and distributed them to them. Before anyone asked, she spoke first.

"Antidote, take it within 10 hours, otherwise you will die."

After that, Wu Qing turned into a white light and disappeared in the dungeon.

The remaining three people looked at each other with the pills, speechless.

Zhang Shi was speechless for a while, feeling that his sincerity had been betrayed. But he could understand Wu Qing. After all, in the wilderness, no one dared to gamble with their own safety and the morality of others.

A flash of white light, Zhang Shi had returned to the familiar stone house. Pipi saw Zhang Shi coming back, and excitedly threw herself on him and had fun.

After fighting in the dungeon for a whole day, the sky gradually darkened and it was close to sunset. The wind and snow outside had stopped. Zhang Shi checked the courtyard and everything was normal, only the temperature was getting lower and lower.

The items produced in this dungeon trip are all related to combat, which is not very helpful for production and life. Zhang Shi still has to worry about the work.

As usual, he took charcoal and filled iron ore. Zhang Shi opened the trading market and sorted out the harvest. He found that many people under his trading order were guessing his identity.

Zhang Shi was not interested in this. Since the last time he sold plums publicly in the chat channel, he did not intend to hide his real name. Except for this dungeon trip, the survivors have not heard of meeting each other. He was not afraid of being targeted by someone with ulterior motives.

He checked the seedlings in the greenhouse. Under the effect of the farmer module, the seedlings have grown vigorously and have grown leaves. At this rate, it will not take long for them to mature.

In the poultry house, two eggs are still hatching, and there is no reaction. Zhang Shi even suspects that they are rotten eggs.

After filling some hay for the sheep in the pen, Zhang Shi returned to the stone house, made himself a dinner, took a hot bath happily, and lay down on the bed early to rest.

In fact, some people in the trading market have already taken action against fuel resources.

Chen Beipan's mutual aid association has many members, including several survivors who live near coal mines near the shelter.

Chen Beipan has spent a lot of resources to cultivate them, and through them, he has obtained a large amount of coal. Once these coals entered the market, they caused a sensation.

Coal has better burning time and heat release than charcoal. In the original world, the price of charcoal is more than ten times higher than that of coal. Affected by the mining cost in the wilderness world, the coal circulating in the market before was much higher than the price of charcoal.

And Chen Beipan, whether intentionally or unintentionally, set the price of one unit of coal to two units of wood, the same as Zhang Shi's charcoal. This move greatly affected Zhang Shi's charcoal business.

Zhang Shi lay on the bed, checking the abnormalities of the market. Soon he found a familiar ID.

"Prometheus, this person again?"

Zhang Shi found that a large part of the coal flowed out through his hands. It seemed that this person did not intend to hide in the dark, but openly competed with him on price.

Zhang Shi was not worried at all about this. Anyway, the cost of mining is there, and our own charcoal is almost fully automatically produced. It depends on who can rely on whom.

Then, Zhang Shi entrusted Zhao Feng to buy a large amount of coal from Prometheus.

"It's a waste if you don't take advantage of this kind of wool."

...

At the same time, Chen Beipan was trading some tools and food for several members who had coal resources. After the transaction, he did not forget to paint a big pie for the members.

Chen Beipan: Brothers who dig coal, you have worked hard today in the cold. Here are some high-quality tools and some high-calorie food. I hope you will keep up the good work. When we completely take over the fuel market, I will make sure that everyone will have a good life in the future.

Then, he ordered his men to spread rumors about charcoal in the chat channel and the trading market. For example, one of my friends got poisoned by burning charcoal, and another friend froze to death because the charcoal was not warm enough, etc.

Zhang Shi opened the regional chat channel and lurked, and found that there were still many survivors who relied on the unlocked panel and chose to go out to explore with high physical attributes, but the efficiency was very low and the gains did not outweigh the losses.

Wang Wu: Hi, after unlocking the panel today, I thought I became a grandfather. I walked two miles in the low temperature, thinking of hunting some game back, but I was frozen like a grandson, got nothing, and caught a cold.

Zhu Dachang: Brother, hurry up and get some medicine. Getting sick in this world is not a joke.

Cheng Xiaobai: Brother, I have some ginger, trade it with me, you can boil it and make some water to drink.

Wang Wu: Thank you, don’t worry about me, I have upgraded the stone house, and I am not afraid of freezing because I have a strong yang energy.

Duan Bi: Brother, tell me more about the strong yang energy, @Wang Wu.

Hou Kun: Hey, I feel like this chat channel is becoming more and more like a crematorium. Everyone is talking about irrelevant topics, and the heat is getting higher and higher.

Zhu Dachang: @Hou Kun, how can you talk like that? Private message me and turn on the microphone.

…

Seeing that the chat channel was changing direction again, Zhang Shi switched back to the main panel.

Wang Wu's words just now reminded him that after the novice period, he didn't know if the next stage of the shelter would be unlocked.

Clicking on the shelter interface, he found something new.

[Brick and tile structure house (unlocked): Intermediate shelter, which can shelter from wind and rain and maintain temperature. Even in the face of natural disasters and wild beasts, it has good defense capabilities. ]

Zhang Shi looked at the upgrade conditions. It requires 500 wood, 10,000 square bricks, 1,000 concrete, 500 pig iron, 100 glass, and a design of any fourth-level shelter.

Zhang Shi looked at the material requirements again and found that there was none in the trading market. He checked the manufacturing formula of the materials and was delighted. Because materials such as square bricks and glass can be roughly manufactured through smelting furnaces and brick kilns, and there are two settings in his home that are working non-stop.

Zhang Shi immediately climbed out of bed, took some sand, and put it into the smelting furnace for smelting. Not long after, Zhang Shi received a system prompt.

System prompt, congratulations on obtaining:

[Glass (white) X1: basic material, colorless and transparent, is a necessary material for building intermediate and above shelters. 】

Seeing that the experiment was successful, Zhang Shi added enough sand and gravel and prepared to smelt overnight.

The production of concrete is actually very simple. You only need to mix cement and sand and gravel in proportion. The problem is that cement is rare in the trading market and the price is extremely high.

As for the square bricks, they need to be shaped in advance, and the workload will be larger. Zhang Shi lit a bonfire in the yard and dug a pit. Water was added to the pit to make mud blocks.

Finally, the old section was used to divide it into neat small pieces and put into the charcoal kiln for firing. Soon, a pile of neat square bricks was produced.

After systematic processing, each square brick has edges and corners and is of the same size, which saves Zhang Shi a lot of effort. Zhang Shi made a large number of mud embryos at one time and piled them next to the bonfire. Whenever he had time, he would add new mud embryos.

Lying back on the bed, Zhang Shi's mind was full of trivial matters. Although the shelter was not big, there was a lot of work. Zhang Shi felt a little tired and fell asleep soon.

In the middle of the night, Pipi barked violently. Zhang Shi was awakened and had a bad temper when he got up, but when he heard the slapping of the iron door outside, he calmed down all of a sudden, and then he became more angry.

"Damn it, can't let people sleep well, right?"
