Chapter 271

Yun Xiaoxiao searched around but still couldn’t find any trace of the little zombie.0

In the end, she had no choice but to give up.0

However, her heart felt as if a fishbone was stuck in it.0

Although the little zombie wasn’t particularly powerful yet, intelligent zombies are potential candidates to become zombie kings.0

Once it grows stronger, it would be much harder to deal with.0

Most importantly, this zombie harbored hostility towards her.0

Though she had no idea where this hostility came from.0

With a heavy heart, Yun Xiaoxiao returned to where Han Bing and the others were.0

Since they had used bombs to kill a large number of zombies earlier, the remaining zombies in the city weren’t too numerous.0

In total, there were probably only about thirty thousand left.0

By evening, the entire city had been cleared of zombies.0

This time, the number of casualties was the lowest.0

Apart from Han Bing and her three companions, there were over a thousand other survivors scattered throughout the city.0

When they heard that all the zombies in the city had been wiped out, they were overjoyed.0

Originally, Jiang Huai had planned to arrange for them to be sent to a safe location the next day.0

Thinking that with more people, they could support each other better.0

But they were unwilling.0

Over forty people chose to join the zombie-slaying army.0

The rest decided to stay in the city.0

Jiang Huai naturally respected their wishes.0

“Who are these?” Nie Yizhou asked, raising an eyebrow as he looked at Han Bing and the others following Yun Xiaoxiao.0

Lu Chen and the others also turned their attention towards them.0

“Hello, everyone! I’m Chong Ming, and this is Yang Xue, who has a temper that’s explosive.”0

“Are you asking for a beating?!” Yang Xue immediately raised her fist upon hearing Chong Ming’s introduction.0

Chong Ming quickly dodged to the side and pointed at Liu Xiaohui.0

“This is our great inventor, Liu Xiaohui.”0

He then looked at Han Bing, “This is...”0

Before he could finish, Han Bing introduced herself.0

“I’m Han Bing.”0

Short and to the point.0

“Hey, buddy, you’re really handsome!” Nie Yizhou complimented Han Bing.0

Han Bing glanced at him coolly, “I’m a woman.”0

Nie Yizhou: ......0

Now that’s what you call awkward!0

“Ahem... sis... sister, you’re really pretty.”0

Nie Yizhou immediately corrected himself, scratching the back of his head sheepishly.0

Xiao Feng, standing behind him, gave him a disdainful look, “Idiot.”0

“Hey, Xiao Feng, who are you calling an idiot!”0

He immediately hooked his arm around Xiao Feng’s neck.0

Liu Xiaohui pushed up her thick glasses and let out a soft ‘hmm.’0

“So, there’s a pair of bickering lovebirds here too.”0

“Girl, you’ve got it wrong. There’s no love, only bickering.”0

Nie Yizhou quickly retorted.0

That night, Gong City, which had been desolate for a long time, became lively again.0

To ease everyone’s fatigue and tension, Jiang Huai had someone organize a simple bonfire party.0

Some told ghost stories, some sang at the top of their lungs, others tried to tell jokes but failed to make anyone laugh...0

In the end, led by a few lively individuals, everyone sang some familiar songs together.0

The atmosphere was electric, and many couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time.0

They didn’t know why they were laughing or crying.0

It was just that emotions ran high, and they needed to let it out.0

Everyone gathered together, laughing and chatting, their enthusiasm undiminished even in the icy weather.0

Seeing the joyful expressions around her, Yun Xiaoxiao also felt a sense of relief.0

After the party, she found Liu Xiaohui and the others.0

She shared her thoughts with them.0

She felt that Liu Xiaohui’s talents shouldn’t be wasted.0

Moreover, since Liu Xiaohui didn’t possess any offensive abilities, staying with the team would be quite dangerous.0

The best solution was to send her back to the base to develop more powerful weapons.0

Those that had already been invented could be mass-produced.0

This way, more people could join the fight.0

And the battle could be ended sooner.0

This proposal received strong support from Liu Xiaohui.0

But Han Bing and the others were worried about her going alone.0

So, after some discussion, it was decided that Han Bing would accompany her back to Yun City.0

Meanwhile, Yang Xue and Chong Ming, who were more combat-capable, would stay behind to join the fight.0

Thus, when Mu Yang sent people to deliver evolution serum and supplies again, Han Bing and Liu Xiaohui boarded the helicopter back to the base.0

For the next half month, everyone continued to fight the zombies.0

They traversed countless territories and killed countless zombies.0

Everyone’s strength improved significantly during this period.0

The number of casualties in battle also decreased.0

Compared to the beginning, there was undoubtedly a qualitative leap.0

According to Peng Shaowei’s message, apart from the Northern Base, the Eastern and Southern Bases had also coordinated with major bases in their regions to start clearing out zombies.0

Only the Central Base remained unresponsive.0

Throughout this time, the only constant was the endless snowfall.0n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Since Gong City, the snow hadn’t stopped.0

It fell day and night.0

Fortunately, the snow wasn’t heavy, and much of it melted during the day.0

However, it still caused significant obstacles to travel.0

On the bright side, the snow also slowed down the zombies, making them more sluggish.0

This brought some relief to everyone.0

But on this particular day.0

When everyone woke up, they noticed that the weather had changed again.0

The light snow had turned into a heavy blizzard.0

The snow fell thick and fast, blanketing the world in white.0

After a whole night, the ground was covered in a thick layer of snow.0

Two cars couldn’t even start due to the extreme cold.0

Seeing the scene outside, Yun Xiaoxiao knew.0

The extreme cold had begun.0

The zombie-slaying campaign would have to be put on hold for now.0

Sure enough, not long after, Jiang Huai called an emergency meeting with the leaders of the major bases.0

“Everyone, this extreme weather is likely the precursor to the extreme cold that the anonymous source warned us about.0

I’ve called you here to hear your thoughts.0

While the weather has slowed down the zombies, which works in our favor, I’m concerned that if the snow continues or worsens, we might not even be able to find our way when we try to fight the zombies.0

If we get stranded in the wilderness due to the snow, it would put everyone in grave danger.0

So, my suggestion is that we all return to our respective bases with our people and supplies.0

Let’s weather this extreme cold first.0

After all, the zombies will be frozen and won’t be able to move around.0

Once the snow melts, we can regroup and continue our mission.0

What do you all think?”0
