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

When I woke up, it was already sunset. Thinking that today was the last day of the severe cold disaster, the system should publish the ranking list according to the strength of the survivors. Zhang Shi suddenly became energetic and looked forward to the moment when the ranking was announced.

"Hehehe~"

Due to the rising temperature, the windows in the villa were open, and Zhang Shi clearly heard the piglets' cries.

"I almost forgot about these three little guys. I have to find a home for them."

Zhang Shi opened the trading market and found that the batch of weapons that had been put on the shelves before had all been sold, so he made another batch to supplement them.

Scanning the trading orders, Zhang Shi found that many orders were purchased by a person named "Human Teddy". He remembered this person and always left messages under his trading orders. Zhang Shi felt annoyed and never replied.

"Is this another emerging force rising?"

Zhang Shi had no intention of expanding his territory. He just wanted to live a good life in his own small piece of land, but he was very sensitive to the actions of these forces.

"Why buy so many weapons? People can't get together."

Zhang Shi ignored other things, bought a corral at the market and turned off the system.

Placing the corral next to the sheep, he cut some vegetable roots and mixed them with bread. This was the first meal for the wild boar cubs in the shelter, and Zhang Shi was very generous.

The three piglets had never eaten such fine bran before, so they temporarily forgot their fear and buried their heads in the trough.

Tears of relief flowed from the corners of Zhang Shi's mouth, and he murmured.

"Eat more, get fatter."

Seeing the piglets eating so deliciously, Zhang Shi also felt a little hungry. Thinking of the two bags of flour he had just harvested, Zhang Shi decided to change his taste today and make dumplings.

According to his childhood memory, Zhang Shi poured a pound of flour into a wooden basin, stirred it with his hands, and added water to it. When the water was almost enough, Zhang Shi kneaded the flour into a ball, and after a while, all the flour condensed into a large dough.

Zhang Shi was very happy to see that the most troublesome step of kneading the dough was a great success. He covered the wooden basin with the dough and turned to prepare the meat filling.

When Zhang Shi was young, he was raised by his grandparents. The two old people lived by the mountains, and wild boar meat was common. Every New Year and festival, his grandmother would always make dumplings stuffed with wild boar meat.

Zhang Shi thought of the taste of his childhood and felt a little depressed. Pipi was keenly aware of Zhang Shi's emotional fluctuations. She kicked her legs and threw herself on Zhang Shi's legs, revealing a pair of big eyes looking at him.

Zhang Shi squatted down and touched Pipi's big ears, talking to himself.

"Don't think about so many things. Now I can live well and have food and drink. This is the greatest happiness."

Quickly adjusting his mood, Zhang Shi took out a piece of fresh wild boar meat. This piece of meat was fat and lean. Although Zhang Shi couldn't tell what part it was, he guessed that it should taste very fragrant.

"It just so happens that the green onions in the farmland have been harvested, so today's meat filling is pork and green onions."

...

From kneading the dough, chopping the filling, seasoning, making dumplings, to finally putting the dumplings in the pot, Zhang Shi worked for more than three hours, sweating profusely.

The moment the dumplings were fished out and served on the table, Zhang Shi couldn't even wait to prepare the dipping sauce, and directly picked up a chopstick and put it in his mouth.

"Woo, um, it smells so good."

Thinking that his friends probably haven't had noodles for a long time, Zhang Shi put all the dumplings in the pot and generously filled three plates to trade to Zhao Feng, Wu Qing and Ge Dalong.

After eating and drinking, Zhang Shi suddenly remembered that the gill net had not been collected. It had been a while since the net was cast, and it was not known whether this net had any harvest.

Holding the oil lamp in the dark, Zhang Shi first looked around the courtyard wall for a while. The shelter was very quiet at night, with occasional calls of birds, beasts and insects, but no large wild animals were seen coming to harass again. It was supposed to be the work of the Black Mist Guard.

Seeing that there was no danger, Zhang Shi went out and came to the river.

He pulled the fixed net cable up with force. Even though Zhang Shi's level reached level eight and his strength attribute was very high, he still spent a lot of effort.

With the help of the light, Zhang Shi could vaguely see some fish and shrimp being caught, and conservatively estimated that there were dozens of kilograms of fish.

Zhang Shi put the harvest into his backpack and cast the net again in the dark. Suddenly, a little light appeared in the night sky. Zhang Shi looked up and was surprised.

"Is that a star?"

Zhang Shi was sure that the twinkling light in the night sky was starlight.

This was the first time he saw stars in the wilderness world, and he couldn't help but look at them a few more times.

After returning to the shelter, Zhang Shi opened the chat channel.

Sure enough, many survivors noticed the changes in the night sky and started discussing.

Zhu Dachang: Did you see that a star suddenly appeared in the sky? What's going on? Could it be that a meteorite is about to fall?

Cheng Xiaobai: Brother, don't worry too much. I also saw that star. It's far away from us. Even if it hits us, it won't fall to us.

Zhao Weiwei: I'm an astronomy enthusiast. The stars in this world are obviously wrong. I've never seen a sky with only one star.

Wang Wu: Tonight at 12 o'clock is the time when the severe cold disaster ends. Do you think this system will make a ranking list like last time?

Hou Kun: There's no need to think about it. There will definitely be one. I wonder how high I can rank this time and what level of reward I can get.

Zhu Dachang: Instead of thinking about rewards, it is better to think about how to deal with the next natural disaster. Anyway, I have stored enough supplies this time, and I should be able to survive easily if nothing unexpected happens.

Liu Yu: Everyone, for the better survival of our survivors, I declare that the Bright Alliance is officially established. Here we implement the principle of mutual help and mutual assistance, and never hide private interests or exploit companions. There is no threshold for joining the club. Interested parties can chat privately. [Stronghold (Purple) X1: After use, the shelter can be changed to a stronghold, and friendly units can choose to merge the shelter into the stronghold. The owner of the stronghold has the highest right to exercise. ]

I didn’t expect Liu Yu to make such a big move after being silent for a while. Zhang Shi was quite curious about this stronghold, so he sent a private chat to Liu Yu to ask.

Liu Yu saw that it was Zhang Shi who chatted privately, and replied in seconds.

"Boss Zhang Shi, what do you want to talk to me about? Are you interested in joining our Bright Alliance? If you want to come, I can give you the position of president."

Zhang Shi, of course, politely refused and asked about the specific use of this stronghold prop.

Liu Yu had anticipated Zhang Shi's reaction, but he still spoke his mind.

"I found this thing by chance while mining. To put it simply, it merges shelters. After the merger, each member still has management rights over his own shelter, but the manager can freely enter and exit everyone's shelter and has the right to allocate all resources in the base."

"Up to now, our Bright Alliance has absorbed nearly a hundred people, and these people have merged their shelters into the base. My philosophy is to gather together for warmth. People are social creatures. Instead of enduring loneliness alone, it is better to form an alliance and face difficulties and setbacks together."

Zhang Shi nodded and respected Liu Yu's idea. But once there are more people, there will be a mixture of good and bad people, and all kinds of problems will inevitably arise. Zhang Shi doesn't have the mind to deal with it, and he always stays away from such alliances.
