On the second day after the torrential rain disaster, the rain intensified, threatening to become a downpour. Zhang Shi checked in and received 10 rare-level iron shovels, which he distributed to the soldiers, greatly increasing the efficiency of digging the moat.

Good news also came from Wu Qing's place: the greenhouse seemed to have really worked, and the white worms had not reappeared in the farmland.

The task of building a new shelter in the mining area was assigned to Ge Dalong. He brought a total of 50 people with him, including two craftsmen. The reason for bringing so many people was twofold: to ensure the smooth progress of mining operations and to improve the efficiency of iron resource production.

Ge Dalong first measured the area of ​​the two mining areas, then led his men to clear away the nearby trees and rocks, and leveled any irregular slopes they encountered. Only after the area within a hundred meters was flat did Ge Dalong gradually place the wall around the perimeter, enclosing the entire mining area, leaving only one main entrance.

Because the mining area was located next to a dense forest, with a river at its edge, Ge Dalong was worried about wild animals and torrential rain, so all the buildings were towers. This type of architecture was both safe and provided a good view, allowing for early detection and warning of potential dangers.

Zhao Feng took two more scouts and ten cavalrymen with him today. The farther they were from the shelter, the greater the chance of encountering other survivors, and the greater the danger.

Sure enough, at the other end of the teleportation array, outside the tower, a dozen survivors dressed as hunters in leather jackets and pants were whispering among themselves, their eyes fixed on the warhorses with greedy expressions.

The four cavalrymen who remained behind, armed with muskets, stood expressionless in front of the entrance, their eyes fixed on the other side. If the other side made the slightest move, they would strike without hesitation.

“Brother Tiger, I’ve already investigated. There are no other shelters nearby, and they won’t have any reinforcements.”

The man called Tiger was a burly man with a scarred face. He glanced around thoughtfully at the exquisite armor on the four knights, then turned and waved his hand.

"The two newcomers, it's time for you to prove your loyalty. Go and take care of them, and you'll be able to officially join our Dragon Tiger Alliance."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's gaze fell on the two men behind them. These two men were tall and strong, one of them was blind in one eye, and they had the air of soldiers. If Zhang Shi were present, he would definitely recognize these two men as the one-eyed man and his adjutant who had been captured by Liu Yu that day.

At this moment, their clothes were tattered, their faces were pale, and their bodies were filthy, making them look like homeless people.

The two exchanged a glance, nodded silently, and then strode forward.

Tiger smiled slightly, called out to the two men, and took out two spears from his backpack, handing them to them.

One-Eyed Dragon took the spear, paused for a moment, and in that instant, countless thoughts raced through his mind, even the knuckles holding the spear turned white.

The adjutant stepped forward and gently shook his head at him, signaling the one-eyed man not to act rashly.

On that day, their watches were confiscated by Liu Yu, and they only managed to escape thanks to the poison gas bombs that Bell had sent in advance. During their escape, they accidentally ended up in the hands of the Dragon Tiger Alliance.

After enduring much torture and humiliation, the two finally gained their freedom and became their guinea pigs, but they were unarmed and their every move was closely monitored.

On the tower side, the four horsemen became tense when they saw two people rush out from the group, and they all pointed their muskets at them.

The one-eyed man and his adjutant were of high rank. In order to avoid the line of fire, they kept moving in an S-shaped path at a very fast speed, slowly closing the distance between the two sides.

With the help of the rain, the distance of several dozen meters was getting closer and closer. The cavalrymen finally couldn't hold back any longer and fired a salvo at the two of them in perfect unison, the bullets covering a small area.

The one-eyed man dodged to the side, sweeping his spear aside and deflecting a bullet. His adjutant used a special skill to generate an invisible wave of air that blocked the bullet.

At this moment, he was less than fifteen meters away from the cavalry.

The cavalrymen emptied their revolver magazines, and it was too late to reload and fire again. They decisively put down their muskets, drew their long swords, and engaged the two men in close combat.

One-Eyed Dragon and his adjutant mistakenly believed that the four cavalrymen were survivors, and that their equipment looked quite good. Therefore, they were extra careful in their movements, and when their weapons clashed, they would only touch the target briefly, and never really fight them to the death.

The cavalrymen knew their mission was to guard the teleportation array, so they never left the tower. The two sides fought for several minutes, which angered Tiger.

"Damn it, these two foreigners are messing with us. Erzi, fire a couple of arrows to teach them a lesson."

After he finished speaking, a fat man stepped out from the crowd. He wore a silver necklace that emitted a faint blue light, blocking out the surrounding rain and making him look extremely extraordinary.

With a casual wave of his hand, the fat man conjured two water arrows from the rain, which shot towards the one-eyed man.

The one-eyed dragon was no ordinary person. Sensing the danger behind him, he exerted tremendous force, knocking away the cavalry in front of him, and then quickly rolled to the side.

The water arrows shot into the ground, leaving two deep holes. One-Eyed Dragon looked at the Dragon Tiger Alliance members, his eyes filled with murderous intent, yet he was helpless.

Tiger smiled coldly, having tested the quality of the four cavalrymen, and then shouted to the crowd behind him.

"Enough playing around, let's get started!"

After saying that, the Dragon Tiger Alliance members also took out their bows and arrows, and disregarding the safety of the one-eyed dragon and his companion, they fired a volley of arrows towards the tower.

Four cavalrymen, clad in fine steel armor, leisurely entered the tower to take refuge. The one-eyed man and his companion, however, were in a much worse predicament, surrounded by long swords and arrows, finding themselves trapped in a dilemma.

At the critical moment, the adjutant pushed with both hands, and the air blast reappeared out of thin air. Against the backdrop of the rain, the air blast stood like a thick wall in mid-air, blocking all the arrows.

The shockwave lasted for a few seconds before completely dissipating. The adjutant seemed to have all his strength drained away, swaying unsteadily and unable to stand. One-Eyed Dragon quickly stepped forward to support him, and took advantage of the opening to try and escape into the dense forest to the side.

The fat man didn't give them that chance; a row of water arrows appeared out of thin air, blocking their path like a fence.

Tiger had already led his men and charged up with weapons. Seeing the two trying to escape, he cursed viciously.

"You two ingrates! I fed you so much food, and without me you would either have been bitten to death by zombies or starved to death in the wilderness. And you think you can just run away without even saying a word?"

The one-eyed man and his companion were already at their wits' end. Seeing that the Dragon Tiger Alliance had turned against them, they had no choice but to try to rush into the tower to seek a glimmer of hope.

Just then, a white light flashed, and more than twenty cavalrymen charged out from the light screen. A golden-armored warrior leaped high into the air and chopped off the one-eyed man's head with an axe, sending him to see his great-grandmother.
