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

Zhang Shi stepped forward to check the specific attributes of the fine steel heavy crossbow.

[Stainless steel heavy crossbow (green): An exquisite level weapon with amazing destructive power and a maximum range of up to 1500 meters. 】

Zhang Shi fixed the heavy crossbow on the ground and tentatively pulled the bow string. He found that the bow string had not moved at all. Zhang Shi was secretly surprised. He immediately gritted his teeth and used all his strength to pull it reluctantly.

"It's just that a refined-grade heavy crossbow is so laborious?"

After Zhang Shi loosened the bow string, he moved his wrist and sighed at the power of the crossbow. Then he sent someone to place the heavy crossbow on the top of the wall.

Gong Yi leaned over and said softly.

"I'm reporting to you Lord, this heavy steel crossbow is very powerful and has a long range. When paired with high-quality crossbow arrows, it can kill large beasts of the same level with one hit. However, it consumes too much steel and the success rate is not high."

Zhang Shi nodded, knowing that this thing could not be mass-produced for the time being, and then took out the muskets and muskets obtained from the mercenaries and handed them to Gong Yi.

"Research it and see if you can copy it. If you do it well, there will be big rewards."

Gong Yi picked up the two firearms, looked at them briefly, and nodded in confirmation.

"Please rest assured, Lord, I will study the structure of this machine as soon as possible and copy it as soon as possible."

Gong Er and Gong San on the side heard that there was a reward, and swung the hammer in their hands even harder. Zhang Shi was very satisfied. It was a pity that he did not have the source of gunpowder. He only relied on the tiny bit of gunpowder flowing out of the trading market to make a big move. It is still unrealistic to assemble thermal weapons on a large scale.

Wu Qing passed by the farmland and noticed the golden rice being sown at a glance. His eyes were attracted, and then he grabbed a handful of rice and found that they were all high-grade, and even a few were exquisite.

"Where did you get so much high-grade rice?"

Zhang Shi looked at Wu Qing's expression of disbelief, feeling secretly happy, and then informed him about Jin Guangdao.

"If you are interested, the farmland in the sanctuary will be taken care of by you from now on."

Wu Qing looked at Jin Guangdao intently, nodded in response, and Zhang Shi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Another free labor force."

…

Dinner was held in the fortress. The air conditioner in the room adjusted the temperature very comfortably. The four of them were old friends. They got together to talk about the development of the shelter in various directions and shared interesting things they saw in the chat channel.

Zhao Feng shared the system panel, pointed at a chat record and shouted.

"Have you seen it? Liu Yu exposed the collusion between the Mutual Aid Association and the Eagle Group to rob individual people. The current Mutual Aid Association in our subdivision is like a rat crossing the street. Everyone shouts to beat him up. Chen Beipan is as scared as a tortoise. It’s really refreshing to come out.”

Ge Dalong was quite angry when he learned from Zhang Shi and Wu Qing what happened tonight.

"This Chen Beipan actually colluded with foreigners to harm Zhang Shi for his own personal vendetta. This time he lost his wife and lost his troops. Those members of the mutual aid association scattered in the dense forest were either eaten by wild beasts or fainted from the heat. The mutual aid association is full of vitality. The injury can be regarded as retribution for their bad behavior.”

"After this incident, the Alliance of Light will rise. I hope their people will have rules for doing things."

Zhang Shi drank the drink in the cup in one gulp.

At the same time, the Alliance of Light stronghold was in chaos, and more than half of the members showed symptoms of poisoning, either falling to the ground or suffering from vomiting and diarrhea. The leader, Liu Yu, was also dizzy and relied on medication to keep him from falling.

"What's going on? Did someone poison the water source?"

Liu Yu looked gloomy and swept the pile of parchment on the table to the ground, getting angry in front of everyone for the first time.

Vice President Tang Hao's legs were weak and he no longer had the strength to stand. He could only sit aside and answer weakly.

"The water source has been guarded, and there is nothing abnormal. Moreover, everyone's reaction to poisoning is different, and not all members have been infected. I suspect that the channel of transmission is not the water source."

Liu Yu pondered for a moment, then remembered the two mercenaries who were imprisoned, and quickly sent someone to check. As a result, before anyone was sent out, his subordinates had already rushed to the conference room to report.

"Chief, something happened! The guard brother was poisoned and fainted, and the two mercenaries took advantage of the chaos and escaped."

Liu Yu was a little overwhelmed by the series of accidents, and pointed at his men angrily and shouted.

"Go chase me. We have all their watches. It's so dark and hot outside, they can't run away!"

…

Zhang Shi planned to make full use of the effect of the resource accelerator card and fully save time to recruit soldiers. For this purpose, he specially prepared two large cups of coffee for himself to refresh himself.

At 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, the extremely hot natural disaster entered the fifth day, and the temperature still showed no downward trend. Zhang Shi has completed another wave of soldier recruitment. The current number of escorts has reached 37, including 5 from each special force. Zhang Shi has used the remaining recruitment quota for assault troops. The current scale of the shelter does not require too many special units, and the main pile, that is, combat power, is the best choice.

As the number of sign-ins was refreshed, Zhang Shi clicked on the golden finger to sign in.

The system prompts, congratulations on signing in and getting:

[Resource Generation Card (Purple) X2]

Zhang Shi knew that the rare-quality resource generation card could generate some novel things, and he couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart, and even the trace of sleepiness completely dissipated.

Zhang Shi couldn't wait to pick up the resource generation card to check it, clicked directly into the mineral resource classification, and then looked for the two key minerals he needed.

Sure enough, the props produced by the system did not disappoint him. Both sulfur and saltpeter appeared in the generated list, and the two most critical ingredients of the gunpowder formula he got from Liu Yu were saltpeter and sulfur.

"Great, with this thing, the problem of gunpowder is solved."

If nothing unexpected happens, the manufacturing process of the musket is copied, and a large number of them are produced in the future, Zhang Shi will be able to equip a hot weapon unit. At that time, he can really walk sideways in this wilderness world.

With the light emitted by the giant sunflower, even in the middle of the night, the area near the shelter is as bright as day. On the wall, the black fog guards and the escort team are patrolling diligently to prevent intruders from attacking. Seeing Zhang Shi appear, the escort team saluted respectfully. Zhang Shi waved his hand and called the black fog guards to walk out of the shelter.

Through the territory control module, Zhang Shi observed the layout around the shelter and finally decided to place the sulfur and saltpeter mines in the open space between the shelter and the mine, next to the iron mine.

In order to get the gunpowder as soon as possible, Zhang Shi deliberately sneaked into the iron mine, took away the mining machine, and placed it in the sulfur mine and saltpeter mine respectively.

After a long time of tossing and turning, Zhang Shi became more energetic, and came to Lao Bai's room to discuss the details of the shelter's resource reserves with him. This chat lasted until dawn.

Zhang Shi saw the morning light and found that it was already dawn. After collecting a new batch of soldiers, he handed all the work to Lao Bai and asked him to tell Ge Dalong about the gunpowder and let him arrange people to go mining. He rubbed his groggy head and returned to the bedroom, and fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow.
