Chapter 122 New Plan

Zhang Shi took a look and wrote down the IDs of the two people. Then he typed a line of words in the chat bar and clicked send.

Zhang Shi (VIP): Everyone, I am Zhang Shi. I am very happy for your concern. We have accumulated some resources during this period and are going to hold several big sales tomorrow to sell them at low prices. If you are interested, you can come to the trading market to support us.

Oh, by the way. The two people from the Eagle Group above, I remember your IDs, don't let me meet you.

Zhang Shi's speech was pinned for a long time, causing an uproar. The survivors in the sub-area did not expect that Zhang Shi, the world's number one, was really in their sub-area. For a while, all kinds of flattering words kept coming, and soon drowned out the Eagle Group's harsh words.

Many survivors were more concerned about the big sale mentioned by Zhang Shi than the grudges, and they all looked for those who were in the same area as Zhang Shi to ask about the situation.

Many people who used to be in the same district were happy to be promoted and flattered, so they described the last clearance sale in detail, which immediately opened up the market for Zhang Shi's business.

Zhang Shi's preparation for the second clearance sale was not a whim. Since the shelter began to recruit soldiers, the number of personnel has grown, and the daily resource consumption is huge. If it weren't for his big family, ordinary survivors would not be able to bear this consumption. For long-term considerations, Zhang Shi decided to take advantage of the market price that was not stable just after the merger and reap a fortune in advance.

However, after the merger, there were a full 100,000 people in the sub-district, and the purchasing power was much stronger than before. Zhang Shi made a simple plan and found that things were a bit complicated, so he planned to wait until his companions came back in the evening to discuss it together.

After sending the chat message, many survivors chatted with Zhang Shi privately, and there were some alliance information. These organizations either looked down on the actions of the Eagle Group and wanted to win over the forces that were hostile to it, or simply saw Zhang Shi's strength.

For these alliance information, Zhang Shi politely rejected them. After all, the area had just been merged, and he didn't want to make things too awkward with these survivors. After all, he still had things to deal with at this stage and had no time to engage in internal fighting.

In the afternoon, Zhang Shi led the team to continue digging the moat. Because the workload was really heavy, everyone consumed a lot of physical strength, but the progress of the work did not advance much.

Zhang Shi looked at the soldiers who were panting and soaked by the rain, and ordered them to rest.

The daytime in the wilderness world was too short. Now that he had his own power, Zhang Shi began to consider whether to work at night. After all, the shelter was not short of weapons and manpower, and it was not a big problem to deal with ordinary wild beasts.

However, before he made a plan, Ge Dalong received news of the attack, and Zhang Shi hurried to the mining area to check the situation.

There were several corpses of wild dogs in the saltpeter mine, and Pipi was looking towards the entrance with a vigilant look. Seeing Zhang Shi coming, he let down his guard and walked to Zhang Shi to say hello with his tail wagging. Because of the rain outside, it was impossible to identify the identity of the visitor by smell as usual.

When Ge Dalong saw Zhang Shi coming, he recounted what happened here.

In the afternoon, three high-quality wild dogs led the team into the mining area. There were more than 20 wild dogs in total. The soldiers did not dare to use firearms in the mining area, so they picked up spears and long knives to fight. With Ge Dalong and Pipi guarding the scene, the soldiers killed several wild dogs in a short time, and the dogs fled.

After listening to Ge Dalong's retelling, Zhang Shi fell into thought.

He should have led his team to clear the area within a kilometer. There were still soldiers patrolling at fixed points within the territory. I didn't expect that there would be groups of wild beasts so soon.

Seeing Zhang Shi lost in thought, Ge Dalong comforted him.

"It is normal to have wild beasts in the wilderness. I told you about the attack just to inform you of the situation here. You don't need to worry too much."

Zhang Shi nodded slightly, but his brows were still furrowed. He knew that in this dangerous wilderness, any slackness could lead to unpredictable consequences. The sudden attack of wild dogs was not a good sign. This time, they were some low-level beasts. The next time, they might be elite monsters of the exquisite level. If he encountered a white tiger, he would have to temporarily abandon this mining area and run away.

After comforting the mining soldiers, Zhang Shi returned to the shelter, thinking about whether to send more people to the mining area, or build some walls to enclose the mining area.

…

In the evening, Zhao Feng also returned to the shelter safely through the teleportation array. For the sake of safety, he also specially placed a tower at the teleportation location and left four cavalrymen to guard it. If something unexpected happened, they would notify the shelter for reinforcements as soon as possible.

Zhao Feng walked for a whole day and encountered some beast attacks along the way, but under Zhao Feng's giant axe, the team did not suffer any casualties.

"There are mountains and forests everywhere, and no traces of survivors or shelters."

Zhang Shi nodded as he looked at the map he had drawn. It was a good thing that he didn't meet other survivors. At least the area around him was unowned, so he could do whatever he wanted without any disputes.

Remembering that the upgrade effect of his title had been refreshed, Zhang Shi thought for a moment and decided to upgrade the teleportation array. On the one hand, this thing was rare, and the upgrade was cost-effective. On the other hand, the number of teleportations was limited to only two times a day, which was too restrictive. Zhang Shi wanted to try whether the number of teleportations could be increased after the upgrade.

In front of everyone, his mind moved, and the territory control module started to operate automatically. A pink light enveloped the teleportation array, and it was successfully upgraded to the artifact level. In addition to greatly reducing the teleportation time, the number of teleportations per day is no longer limited, which completely solves the problem of long-distance travel, causing everyone to marvel.

Then, Zhang Shi told about the attack on the mining area and proposed his plan to start construction after sunset.

"The resources in the mining area are one of the lifeblood of the shelter. My initial plan is to send more people, surround the two mines with a wall, and build a branch shelter. The soldiers rest directly in the mining area at night, and the headquarters will change the staff regularly."

Several people had no objection to Zhang Shi's plan. The current work efficiency is indeed too low. After so many days of mining, the resources in the mining area have not been explored to one-tenth.

Wu Qing also reported today's work situation. Crops and livestock are growing well. The most worrying worms have not been found to be toxic after inspection. As for whether closing the farmland can completely eliminate the worm disaster, it depends on the situation tomorrow.

Zhang Shi told everyone about the second big sale tomorrow. After discussing a rough plan, they went back to rest.

Zhang Shi did not rest immediately, but called Lao Bai to report the income and expenditure of the shelter for one day. Only then did he realize how huge the daily consumption of hundreds of people was.

Today's recruitment has been completed for two rounds, and another thirty new people have joined. The stables have also completed the training of war horses, and the craftsmen have also made matching equipment for the cavalry.

Zhang Shi felt that the burden on his shoulders was suddenly much heavier, and he couldn't help muttering to himself.

"You don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are until you run the household!"
