The three were not seriously injured. After some treatment and bandaging, they were fine and then submitted their missions and completed their job changes.

After the three characters changed jobs, their attribute growth showed a clear trend, and they also received a general job-change skill as a bonus.

Ge Dalong's mage skill is Blizzard, which can gather dark clouds in an area and continuously release ice spikes to attack the target area.

Wu Qing's priest skill is Healing Spell, a single-target recovery skill that enhances the recovery ability of friendly units. It has a short cooldown and a large range, making it a versatile skill.

To test the effect, she even cast a healing spell on the injured Ge Dalong. A faint green light appeared on Ge Dalong's body, and his complexion improved slightly.

Zhao Feng's warrior skill is Charge, which literally means charging forward. The damage is average, but it barely compensates for his lack of mobility. It can also be used in conjunction with Sweep to form a combo. Zhao Feng tried it out a few times in the training ground and found it particularly cool.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the blood moon arrived as scheduled. Zhang Shi's original intention was to let the three of them rest well for the night, recover from their injuries, and then prepare to activate the challenge letter and return to the Village of Confusion.

However, the three of them tacitly agreed to join the war.

Seeing that Zhang Shi was unwilling to budge, Ge Dalong tried to persuade him.

"I know you're worried about us. Don't worry, I'll do what I can tonight and won't overuse my magic."

Wu Qing also spoke up, which was unusual for her.

“Zhao Feng is not injured. He can just direct the soldiers to fire the cannons from the wall. I control the plants and don’t need to get involved myself. You don’t need to worry about us.”

Seeing that all three of them had said so, Zhang Shi could not refuse any longer, so he nodded and agreed to let them join the war.

The zombie horde arrived as expected, its numbers no less than yesterday's. Occasionally, a few high-grade mutated zombies would be mixed in with the horde, making it even more formidable. However, thanks to the shelter's numerous defensive measures, the entire wall stood like an impregnable fortress, becoming an insurmountable barrier for the zombies. Zhang Shi, experiencing the passive skill of the Black Light Armor for the first time, thrived on the battlefield, growing stronger with each battle, and effortlessly held off today's zombie horde.

Meanwhile, similar scenes were playing out across the wilderness. In Zhang Shi's division, the Mutual Aid Association and the Light Alliance had the most manpower and supplies, and they naturally suffered the most intense onslaught of zombie hordes.

The Light Alliance initially accepted anyone, almost like a charity, resulting in a mismatch between numbers and strength. After holding out for two days, Liu Yu's stronghold finally fell, overrun by a horde of zombies, leading to numerous deaths. In the end, only a small number of survivors with sufficient strength managed to break through.

On the mutual aid society's side, the failed raid resulted in Chen Beipan losing a large number of manpower. Their predicament was that they had enough resources but lacked manpower. Chen Beipan then chose the most despicable way to deal with the situation—absconding with the resources.

This directly led to the remaining members of the mutual aid society lacking survival supplies and unable to continue. They had no choice but to divide up the remaining resources and go their separate ways.

A small number of mutual aid society members who even abandoned the shelters became complete outcasts, suffering extremely tragic ends.

The news of Chen Beipan running away with the resources quickly spread on the regional channel. This was not the first time he had done this. He had done it before when he teamed up with Liu Yu. This incident completely ruined his reputation.

However, he didn't care about these insults because he had a tool that showed he knew the system would merge servers soon, and a massive influx of survivors from other servers would arrive. He could then use his resources to rebuild his power and still live a carefree life.

Zhang Shi was preparing supplies for his renewed challenge of the Village of Doubt, so he browsed the regional channels and the trading market to learn about their situation.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Shi first bought some water and resource generation cards in the trading market, and then clicked on Liu Yu's avatar to send a private message, informing him of the zombies' fear of water. This was also a way of repaying the favor they had done for helping them fight against the Mutual Aid Association at Wuqing Shelter.

When Liu Yu received Zhang Shi's private message, he was still immersed in grief and self-blame for the loss of their stronghold. Seeing the information Zhang Shi provided about zombies' fear of water, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes. This information was undoubtedly a precious survival guide for them, who were currently in dire straits.

"Boss Zhang Shi, thank you! Our Light Alliance will remember this kindness."

Liu Yu replied quickly, his words filled with both gratitude and determination: "We will use this to rethink our defense strategy, gather the scattered forces, and strive to survive the zombie horde."

After receiving the reply, Zhang Shi held Liu Yu in even higher regard. He knew that in this cruel world, being self-centered was understandable, and "philanthropists" like Liu Yu were quite respectable.

Zhang Shi didn't say much, just offered a few words of encouragement, and then went back to preparing his own plans.

Meanwhile, Wu Qing, Ge Dalong, and Zhao Feng practiced their new skills during tonight's battle. In particular, Ge Dalong's control of the blizzard effectively slowed down the advance of the zombie horde, buying valuable time for the defense to adjust.

Moreover, his skills are energy attacks, which are also effective against spirits, making him a perfect match for dealing with the ghosts and monsters of Huo Family Village.

Zhang Shi had always harbored resentment about his experience in Huojia Village, so this time he specially went to the trading market to buy a lot of related equipment and props, such as peach wood swords, talismans for warding off evil, and even a lot of the same crosses as the bald man and his group.

After all, the crosses had been tested and could indeed have some effect on the Black Mist Guardians, who were also soul entities. So Zhang Shi bought a lot and provided each of them with a set for self-defense.

By the time the trading market was closed, it was already late at night. Zhang Shi rubbed his eyes, remembering that the daily check-in count had been updated again, so he skillfully activated his cheat system. Unexpectedly, the items he received from the check-in immediately dispelled his drowsiness.

The system notifies you that you have received the following rewards for checking in:

[Illusion Breaker (Orange) x1: A one-time use aura item that grants party members immunity to illusion attacks and increases their perception ability for 24 hours.]

This is a legendary consumable item. With it, you'll never have to worry about that old sixth brother, An Ye, launching sneak attacks again. When facing Huo Linjian and Huo Xiuxiu, you'll be able to discern the enemy's situation and avoid being completely blind.

It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. This sign-in item greatly reduced the risks of this trip, and Zhang Shi's chances of successfully completing the dungeon and changing jobs increased significantly.

The following day, the fifth day of the zombie attack, the four of them had recovered and packed their belongings to set off.

After instructing Lao Bai on some matters, Zhang Shi then gave orders to Zhang Dazhuang.

“While we are away, you should stop all outdoor activities. If you don’t have work, rest. The safety of the shelter is entrusted to you until we return.”

Seeing how much Zhang Shi valued him, Zhang Dazhuang's voice trembled with excitement.

"I am willing to die for my lord!"

Zhang Shi nodded and prepared to activate the challenge letter. Unexpectedly, a loud whistle came from the plain. Zhang Shi frowned, climbed the wall and took a look, only to find that it was an acquaintance.
