Three months went by in a flash. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

I don't know if it's because of the greatly weakened influence of humans on nature, this year's winter is exceptionally cold. When Lu Lotian and the three of them were still lying in the apartment to recuperate, a heavy snow swept in unexpectedly, covering the entire Xinle City under the snow. The howling cold wind mixed with the snowflakes in the sky caused the temperature to drop to minus a few degrees overnight.

Thanks to this heavy snowfall, although the weather outside was terribly cold, the zombies' ability to move was also significantly suppressed, and their movements were even more sluggish and clumsy, as if they had all degraded to level zero. Many ordinary people who had not yet stocked up on enough food for the winter took advantage of those few days to frantically scavenge for supplies in the surrounding area. Despite the inevitable casualties, most people managed to hold out until the beginning of spring.

In this long and boring winter, Qin Qin and the others, who did not worry about eating and drinking, nested in the apartment with peace of mind, occasionally going out of the base to visit and kill zombies when the weather was good, which could be regarded as a cover for their obviously abnormal material reserves.

Yang Lan and Mei Xiuwen awakened their agility enhancement and ice-based abilities respectively in the past three months, which roughly matched the time in Zhou Beichen's memory. It's just that the number of crystal nuclei in the squad is limited, and the enhancements and abilities of these two people are just like the others, and they actively stop absorbing crystal nuclei after they reach level two.

After the injury of Lu Letian and the others, Qin Qin's special ability is no longer a secret. However, her team members probably knew that this was a terrible piece of information and that it must not be passed on, so they all tacitly kept silent, as if this incident had never happened at all.

Although the zombies have become sluggish due to the cold weather, their evolution has not stopped. After that heavy snowfall, a few sporadic zombies with enhanced and special abilities stumbled to level 2, and their sudden increase in strength caused a small wave of human deaths, only to be quickly buried with the snow. Gradually, more and more zombies were promoted to the second level, and the panic caused by them gradually spread among humans.

"Everyone, the weather has gradually warmed up, and we should also return to the good habit of eating and sleeping every day and fighting zombies." After dinner one day, Qin Qin suddenly came up with such a sentence.

The others at the table were stunned for a moment, and then they all laughed knowingly, and they all shook their hands. These three months have been very boring, and even if they can go out occasionally, they only go around the neighborhood and come back, and they rarely have a good fight with zombies.

"Why did you suddenly remember this?" Zhou Beichen took the thermos on the table and poured a cup of hot water for Qin Qin, and asked curiously.

Qin Qin raised his eyebrows and replied with great interest: "Didn't you see that a new batch of tasks has been released at the task collection office." I talked to Li Ya, and she told me that the base plans to march into the city from March, and now it has begun to prepare. They divide the main roads leading to the city into many sections, and distribute them to each team in the form of time-limited tasks to clean up, and the team that receives the task needs to complete the cleanup within a day, and if they are not strong enough, they can find helpers on their own, but the points awarded by the base remain the same. Specific tasks include, but are not limited to, eliminating all the zombies on the road, clearing the abandoned vehicles blocking the road, and detecting the gathering of zombies on the surrounding lateral roads. ”

"Sister Qin, do you want to take on this kind of task?" Lin Ziyao suddenly interjected.

"Yes, our main target is zombies anyway, and no matter how many zombies gather on the streets as there are in the buildings, it shouldn't be too dangerous. What's more, there is another point to take, how cost-effective. Qin Qin replied.

Lin Ziyao shook his head solemnly and said solemnly, "I don't think so. Even if you do want to go, I suggest you only take on the tasks of the previous days. ”

Looking at Qin Qin's puzzled expression, Lin Ziyao continued to explain: "Sister Qin, think about it, the task given by the base is only to clean up a few main roads, but the crossroads that intersect with these main roads only mention the request to explore the situation. They may have tried to speed up the cleanup, but in fact they laid a big risk for the subsequent operation. The first few days were fine, even if there was any movement of the zombies around, they could turn around and evacuate in time. But after the teams sent by the base gradually go deeper, if the zombies on the horizontal road collectively converge on those main roads, those teams will be equivalent to being attacked from the front and back, and it will be difficult to forcibly evacuate. Don't forget last week's tragedy of a second-level psychiatric zombie. ”

Qin Qin was reminded by Lin Ziyao like this, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat with fright. Last week, a very powerful team in the base went out to look for supplies, and after confirming that the zombies in the vicinity were cleaned up, the team members happily entered a small supermarket that still survived to this day, intending to carry the supplies inside. But they never expected that when they came out with large bags and small bags, a group of zombies gathered outside the door of the small supermarket at some point, and they all remained silent and did not move, and there was a steady stream of zombies gathering in the rear.

The members of that team were almost stunned for a moment, and they didn't know how to react. Although the zombies outside the door had fierce eyes, they also restrained their instinctive impulses exceptionally. The zombies didn't move, and the team didn't dare to move, they were besieged at the door of the supermarket, and there was no way to retreat. Soon, with a low hoarse roar behind the zombie group, these zombies poured into the small supermarket like a tide. The squad resisted desperately until the reinforcements blocking the doorway were exhausted and scarred; The energy of the adepts in the rear was exhausted, and they couldn't release a trace of attack, so all the team members fell unwillingly under the claws of the zombies.

The reason why none of this was drowned out in a corner of the city was because it happened to be seen by a person with special abilities. This guy is a lone ranger, self-proclaimed little transparent, and his ability is that he can confuse zombies to a certain extent, as long as he doesn't talk or move, zombies will instinctively see him as a companion. It's just that the ability lasts a very limited amount of time, lasting up to a quarter of an hour per use, and it takes at least an hour to regenerate the ability.

Xiao Transparent's ability is actually very suitable for acting as a scout in the squad, but he thinks that a person lives more chicly, so he always follows some of the more powerful squads to make some benefits. After all, many squads don't have enough gasoline even if they have a car, and it is difficult to transport all the materials they find back if they have both people and goods in a car, and what he is trying to do is the materials that these squads can't move.

When Xiao Cheng watched with joy as the team walked into the small supermarket, he drove the car to the corner across the road and stopped, intending to wait for the people to leave and then easily get a sum back to the base. But what puzzled him was that in a very short period of time, the zombies on several roads around him ran to the door of the small supermarket as if they were attracted by something, gathering more and more. Xiao Transparent realized that the situation had changed, but he didn't want to leave directly, so he stayed in the car carefully, locked the doors and windows, and quietly looked in the direction of the supermarket.

When the zombies attacked, Xiao Transparent clearly saw an ordinary-looking zombie standing behind the zombie group, and after raising his arms and roaring, the zombies in front of him collectively rushed forward, while it stood still and did not move. As if sensing someone snooping, the zombie looked suspiciously in the direction of Xiao Transparent, and he was so frightened that he immediately activated his ability, and the zombie hesitantly turned back to look at the battlefield in front of him.

Xiao Transparent waited for about ten minutes in fear, and when the members of the team fell one by one, the zombie finally couldn't hold back the excitement and walked forward. Xiao Transparent seized the opportunity to drive away, frantically crashed into a few zombies in front of him, and informed the base of this information completely. Although it is not clear how the base investigated, three days later, there was an introduction to the spiritual zombies in the encyclopedia of abilities and zombies released by the base.

"Spiritual zombies, extremely rare, exactly the same appearance as ordinary zombies, but with a certain amount of intelligence. At the first level, he was unconscious, and could only instinctively command the zombies within ten meters around him to protect himself; Spiritual zombies above level 2 can command ordinary zombies within a radius of 100 meters to attack. ”
