After exchanging views with Wu Qing on planting issues, Zhang Shi hung up the video call and began browsing the trading market again.
First, he bought some vegetables from Wu Qing, and then he purchased some clothing design drawings. He used the animal hides he had to make shoes, hats and gloves, fully arming himself from head to toe.
"It's getting colder and colder. Even cats in the shelter have to go out and work. With these things, they shouldn't get cold."
In the evening, Zhang Shi took a shower and went to bed early. With no wild animals to bother him and all the necessary resources for survival readily available, Zhang Shi was finally able to experience the joy of lying down and slept exceptionally soundly.
...
Day 7 in the wilderness.
At 7 a.m., Zhang Shi was woken up by the cold. As soon as he opened his eyes, he felt that the temperature in the stone house had dropped significantly, and the entire bedroom was chilly.
Is it really that hard to sleep in?
Shivering, Zhang Shi got out of bed, relit the extinguished fireplace, and added a lot of charcoal.
I glanced out the window and saw a scene of raging wind and snow, the sky was overcast and the sun was nowhere to be seen.
"The snow is getting heavier and heavier."
The temperature inside the room slowly rose, and Zhang Shi crawled back into bed to check on everyone's situation using the system. A casual glance at the number of survivors immediately made his expression grave.
γ6205/γ
"So many people have died again?"
Seeing so many compatriots leave silently, Zhang Shi's heart grew heavy. But his abilities were limited; he could only protect himself and at most sell some resources at low prices.
After a long silence, Pipi noticed that Zhang Shi was in low spirits and snuggled into his arms to comfort him.
Zhang Shi stroked Pipi and cheered himself up.
"Just live your own life well!"
With practiced ease, I opened the cheat code and clicked "Check In".
The system notifies you that you have received the following rewards for checking in:
[Resource Generation Card (Blue) x1: After use, you can generate a random number of resources of your choice.]
Zhang Shi was somewhat disappointed with the blue-quality reward. He opened the resource generation card, checked its details, and found that he could choose from three resources: wood, minerals, and livestock.
Zhang Shi's eyes lit up.
"It's like you get exactly what you need."
I was just worried about not having any livestock to find, and now they've come to me for help.
After quickly finishing breakfast, Zhang Shi dressed neatly and then walked out of the stone house full of fighting spirit, ready to start his work for the day.
The snow inside the courtyard was already above ankle height, and a thick layer had been piled up on the greenhouse buildings.
Zhang Shi first collected the charcoal that had been burned the night before, and then added some wood.
"This is the resource with the largest transaction value so far, we can't let it sit idle."
Zhang Shi made some more shovels and began diligently clearing the snow from the yard.
The wind and snow were heavy. Zhang Shi had just cleared a path when a thin layer of snow fell on it again.
It took all morning to finally clean up the courtyard.
Zhang Shi went into the greenhouse to check on the seed growth.
As soon as Zhang Shi entered the greenhouse, he felt a wave of warmth. Although it was only separated from the outside world by a few layers of plastic film, the temperature inside was miraculously much higher.
"This farmer module is really amazing. It's said to be ineffective against survivors, but the temperature is quite suitable."
Many of the seeds planted yesterday have already sprouted, and Zhang Shi is quite satisfied with the growth rate. He then took out the lettuce and spinach seeds that had been soaked in water to promote germination yesterday and planted them.
Zhang Shi had a premonition that it wouldn't be long before he could eat a steady stream of fresh vegetables that he grew himself.
Remembering that he still had a resource card he received from daily check-ins that he hadn't used, Zhang Shi decided to seize the opportunity and finish all the work in one go.
As soon as the gate to the yard opened, Pipi happily rolled around in the open field.
The snow outside was very thick, and Pipi only had its head sticking out. Occasionally, it would burrow into the snow and suddenly pop out next to Zhang Shi, trying to startle him.
Zhang Shi picked up Pipi and put it in his arms, leaving only its head sticking out.
"Don't run around. The snow is too heavy. If we can't find you, you'll become a stray dog."
Because the livestock generated by the resource card are random, Zhang Shi, being cautious, clicked to use it in the open field outside the shelter.
bite,
The resource generation card transformed into a streak of light and landed on an open ground not far away.
Then, a dozen sheep suddenly appeared in the open space.
The sheep bleated, pushing aside the snow to chew on the grass roots hidden beneath it. Upon seeing Zhang Shi, the flock seemed drawn to him, ceasing their grazing and heading towards him.
Looking at the flock of sheep, Zhang Shi's eyes shone, and tears of emotion streamed down his face.
He guided the sheep into the yard and put them all into the pen. He bought some hay at the market, added it to the trough, and then left them alone.
"You guys make do for now, I'll take you out to eat something fresh when I have time."
He then turned and went into the poultry shed to check on the two eggs. He found that the two eggs had not changed at all, and it seemed that they still needed some time to incubate.
After taking stock of the resources in the warehouse, Zhang Shi returned to the warm stone house, intending to see what everyone was doing, hoping to brainstorm ideas and find any resources he might have missed, so as to be prepared before the natural disaster struck.
On the seventh day in the wilderness, most survivors gave up venturing out. Most of the survivors still alive have upgraded their cabins and have some supplies.
Everyone huddled in the shelter, chatting and joking around the campfire in the chat channel, without any of the panic that the apocalypse was about to end.
After diving in for a while without getting any valuable information, Zhang Shi turned back to the trading market.
Today is the last day before the natural disaster strikes, and the prices of most resources have risen sharply again. Zhang Shi unexpectedly discovered that someone with the ID "Food God" was selling seasonings in large quantities.
Resources such as salt, monosodium glutamate, and cooking oil have appeared on the market before, but they are scarce and expensive.
Aside from buying large quantities of salt when curing meat, Zhang Shi mostly tried to adapt to and tolerate a life without seasonings. His attention wasn't focused on that.
Seeing that the seller had a considerable amount of stock and the prices were reasonable, Zhang Shi bought some of the various common seasonings they were selling.
"Buzzing~"
It was Zhao Feng who initiated the transaction request.
Zhang Shi opened the message and found that Zhao Feng had sent some river crabs, fish, and shrimp, along with a comment: "The last batch of fish before the natural disaster. I got you some to change things up."
Zhang Shi smiled slightly, accepted the deal, and then took some wolf meat and wolf skin and sent them over.
With plenty of seasonings and looking at the fresh river delicacies, Zhang Shi's stomach rumbled with hunger as he remembered he hadn't had lunch yet.
"On a snowy day, nothing is more perfect than having a hot pot."
Without hesitation, Zhang Shi bought a copper pot at the trading market.
Place lit charcoal inside and pour in high-quality well water. Add a whole piece of ginger, then put all the cleaned fish, shrimp, and crab into the pot at once.
Zhang Shi sliced ββthe wolf meat and washed and arranged the fresh vegetables on a plate, waiting for the pot to be filled with the meat.
