Shaking off the snow on their coats, Lao Liu, Fang Zhiyuan, and A Qing quickly pushed open the door, and before the cold wind blew in, they quickly brought the door up again. When they stepped inside, their lips were wide open, and they breathed greedily in the warm air of the room.

"Whew, this damn weather, it's cold."

Lao Liu, who was walking in front, took the lead in untying the thick gloves on his hands, moving the slightly stiff fingers inside, and then slapped directly on his face, as if he wanted to promote blood flow in his face. I only heard the sound of 'popping' spread out throughout the room, but it didn't seem abrupt, because it didn't take long for Fang Zhiyuan and Ah Qing beside Lao Liu to keep patting their cheeks, kneading the soft flesh that was about to freeze on it, with a gloomy face.

Looking at the three of them's bloody faces, Daren, who was originally sitting in the living room writing records, directly threw a few thick bath towels over, motioned them to wipe the melted ice water from their hair, and then handed them the hot water bottle filled with boiling water to warm their hands, before saying, "How is it?" Did it go well outside today? “

Now it has been three or four months since Lao Liu and the others were separated from Gu Pinyao, and the early autumn has already become a cold winter season, and Shudi, which originally rarely snowed, has also begun to freeze for thousands of miles, and the sky is full of snow. It is not uncommon for the weather to be abnormal after the end of the world, maybe one second the sun is still shining, and the next second hail may fall overwhelmingly, making people more and more desperate. If you want to change to the previous physique, people who don't have much resistance have long been frozen to death at some point, but fortunately, the survivors are generally in better physical fitness, and they will be able to get by. But compared to last year. This winter, the temperature dropped directly to minus thirty or forty degrees, and even the base in C City, where the living conditions were relatively good, died a lot.

Because he was accidentally injured in a mission, Daren, who was already weak, caught a cold in this bad weather, and he couldn't afford to have a fever. If it weren't for Yuan Qingfeng who did everything possible to buy cold medicine from the base management, he would probably still be lying in bed at the moment and couldn't get up, so everyone didn't dare to let him out, for fear that Daren's illness would not be cured. Fortunately, Daren, who stayed at home, was given a heavy responsibility by Yuan Qingfeng, which made him feel less guilty in his heart. Just looking at his companions who have returned from the outside every day, their faces are full of haggard and exhaustion. Daren's heart is not very comfortable.

"Hey. The snow was falling endlessly, freezing everywhere, and the zombies roaming outside the base were buried in the ground. If it weren't for Qing's fire-based ability to help us melt the snow and find a few zombies buried under the snow. We don't think we'll have much to gain today. Fang Zhiyuan said.

The cold winter months are actually a blessing for mankind. Because snowfall restricts the movement of zombies. Make them slower and a little better than usual. However, many people who rely on hunting zombies to obtain crystal nuclei in exchange for daily necessities obviously do not have a good feeling about this kind of weather. After all, no one can stay long in minus thirty or forty degrees, even if they are wearing heavy clothes. And the cold weather also has a certain degree of impact on zombies, and the direct proof is that the number of zombies wandering in winter has decreased significantly, even if there are zombies, they will completely disappear in the ice and snow world because of the continuous snowfall, and they will not be so easy to be discovered by 'zombie hunters'. In the past, several of them cooperated on a mission together, and they could get at least twenty or thirty crystal nuclei at a time, but now it is not bad to find five or six in a day.

"There's no way, we can't change the environment, we can only adapt to the weather." Compared with the others, Ah Qing seemed much calmer, and said with a light smile, "We have also settled, I heard that the team next door has not gained for a few days, so be content." ”

Lao Liu and Yuan Qingfeng, who suddenly went out for business, did not move out of their original residence after returning to the base in City C, and they still lived in the apartment assigned by the previous base, surrounded by some mercenary squads. Indeed, compared to their daily small harvests, the teams next door almost all returned empty-handed, and they all saved a lot of time, and in comparison, they ate well and slept well every day. Sure enough, there is a sense of happiness after the comparison.

"Everyone is back, the meal is ready, you are hungry, sit down and eat."

A female voice came from the kitchen, and then the smell of food overflowed, and the slender figure walked out of the kitchen, holding the prepared meal in her hand, and after placing it on the table, she stood there and looked at everyone with a smile.

This figure is none other than Hua Shanshan, who was rescued by Gu Pinyao at the beginning.

Because he wanted to stay in the time and space mustard seed to subdue the creatures of various planes, Gu Pinyao didn't have time to arrange Hua Shanshan's whereabouts, but fortunately, Yuan Qingfeng and the others treated Hua Shanshan very well, and they kept her weak from beginning to end, which moved her heart.

After listening to Hua Shanshan's words, everyone washed their hands directly and decenciously, and sat down at the table to prepare for dinner.

"Hey, fortunately, we still have a virtuous helper here, otherwise I will have to eat leftovers when I come back after a tired day, A-Qing's craftsmanship, I don't want to remember it again." Lao Liu smiled and said.

After hearing this, the others nodded in agreement, before Hua Shanshan, they either just gnawed on bread, and if they couldn't stand it, they let Ah Qing, the only one who knew how to order, stir-fry a few dishes, and they would live a good life. Later, with Hua Shanshan, who said that raising such a delicate girl, they were also a little stressed, for fear that they would not take care of it, but they not only survived tenaciously, because they had nothing to do, but also took care of them, such as preparing daily meals, which really made them feel a little home. After eating the food made by Hua Shanshan, everyone became more and more disgusted with Aqing's craftsmanship, and felt that it was simply the difference between jade plate delicacies and pig food.

But Ah Qing next to him rolled his eyes, "The gentleman is far away from cooking, do you understand?" I sacrifice my ego for everyone, how can I feel embarrassed by your dislike of you. ”

"You are suitable for the battlefield, so leave this logistics to me. Brother Aqing's ambition is not in a small place like the kitchen, is it? ”

Hua Shanshan herself is delicate, even if she wears a simple plain cotton clothes, her beauty has not been reduced in the slightest, and even there is a kind of beauty of 'clear water out of hibiscus, natural carving'. smiled at A-Qing. The thin-skinned young man blushed directly, shyly shyly shook his head and stopped talking. Hua Shanshan only sat down when she saw it, but the look in her eyes was still seen by everyone except Ah Qing.

The remaining men at the table made eye contact, and they could see clearly the careful thoughts that Ah Qing and Hua Shanshan were hiding, but they didn't intend to reveal it. In these years, love is a luxury, if Ah Qing and Hua Shanshan take that step, they will be happy, and if it doesn't work out in the end, it can only be like that. So they're ready to wait and see. Go with the flow.

"Brother Yuan, hasn't he come back recently? It's been almost a week. ”

Hua Shanshan's family education is silent about food, but Lao Liu and these men advocate table culture and like to discuss things while eating. At first, Hua Shanshan was very uncomfortable with them. And a room full of big men. She's just a woman. It's a little weird in my heart. But after a long time, she also knew that Lao Liu and these people looked rough, but their hearts were really good. is also righteous enough, after leaving the secret realm, her benefactor Gu Pin was nowhere to be found, and she didn't even have time to explain her whereabouts, but this group of people still took her to her side, and they didn't dislike her for getting in the way, and ate rice for nothing. So in the days that followed, Hua Shanshan tried her best to overcome the obstacles in her heart and took the initiative to communicate with this group of people, and slowly, she became familiar with Lao Liu and others, and she could also chat with everyone at the dinner table.

No, thinking of Yuan Qingfeng, who had disappeared for a long time, Hua Shanshan asked with some confusion.

I knew that Yuan Qingfeng's identity was not simple, Lao Liu and the others were actually similar to the identity of a follower, but after arriving at the base of C City, everyone was still together for the first month, and then Yuan Qingfeng disappeared from time to time for a period of time, this time the longest, it was almost a week, and it was no wonder that she was curious.

"But no, the head hasn't left us for so long before, we were almost together last year, it is estimated that the matter of the secret realm before has spread in those families, and the head himself is under pressure. After all, what the Gu family's sister said at the time really sounded amazing. "The New World Order organization, the Evolution Liquid, can be manipulated by people to manipulate strange substances after absorbing them, these are completely beyond everyone's imagination, those who have always been on the top, I am afraid that they will be shocked after knowing it, and they don't want to figure out that it is not their style.

"In fact, when I was in the Hua family, I never knew that my father had a hand behind him who had been manipulating the overall situation. If it weren't for Miss Gu to protect me, I'm afraid I would never have known that the Hua family suddenly rose in the last days, and there was such a pusher behind me. ”

Hua Shanshan is reborn, Gu Pinyao knows, Yuan Qingfeng naturally knows, but others don't know, and Hua Shanshan's relationship with others is not familiar enough to reveal this, so everyone doesn't know her true attitude towards Hua Mian. But now seeing Hua Shanshan mention Hua Mian so lightly, everyone was surprised and relieved at the same time, after all, Hua Mian was killed by Gu Pinyao at the beginning, they were afraid that the charming girl in front of them had a hatred for Gu Pinyao in their hearts, and they didn't know what to do when the time came.

"When the end comes, countless people have been displaced and their wives have been separated, all because of the sinister intentions behind an underground cult/cult organization, and those people in the family know how it is possible to let that organization go, I guess they are busy looking for relevant clues. However, the black crystals found in the secret realm may bring great temptation to some families, and some people have ignored Miss Gu's warning and used dark matter to purify the zombie crystal nucleus in order to improve their family's comprehensive strength in the last days. Fortunately, we don't have much ambition, I still believe Miss Gu's words, this thing can't be touched, otherwise it will be fatal. Daren said after Hua Shanshan ended the conversation.

"But I heard the leader say that their family is still hidden in the mountains and forests and has not been born, presumably he is going home this time, otherwise he would not have left for so long."

Fang Zhiyuan's words made everyone nod their heads in agreement, but then Hua Shanshan thought of someone who had been separated for a long time, and her tone paused before she asked, "Hasn't that Xiao Xu heard from you yet?" ”

She and Xiao Xu haven't actually gotten along for long, and they have the impression that the other party is a cunning fox, but their strength is also very strong, just like Lao Liu and they follow Yuan Qingfeng, Xiao Xu has always believed in her benefactor Gu Pinyao. On the same day, everyone learned from Yuan Qingfeng's mouth that Gu Pinyao had left the secret realm directly, only to reunite with everyone in City C, but after he really arrived in City C, Xiao Xu didn't know where to go for long.

It's not like they've been inquired about these days, but there's been no news. They believed that that person was still waiting for Gu Pinyao in City C, but they couldn't find it, which made them feel a little powerless. Obviously, this is a place they are familiar with, but they can't find out about a living person, don't you think it's strange? Hua Shanshan, who has a sharp mind, has long sensed the depression in everyone's hearts, for fear of asking this question to make others unhappy.

However, Lao Liu and the others were not as sensitive as Hua Shanshan thought in their hearts, so they just pursed their mouths and said, "Lao Xiao is unfathomable, if he hadn't exposed his strength in the secret realm to protect the Gu family's sisters, we probably wouldn't have known that he looked unreliable, and he turned out to be a strong man." ”

"Okay, okay, don't think about things you can't figure out, it's all over, let's finish eating and resting early." Ah Qing didn't seem to want to see Hua Shanshan's mouth keep talking about other men, so she directly interrupted everyone's conversation in a rough voice. After finishing the rice in the bowl and going back to the room, the rest of the people raised their eyebrows and laughed thoughtfully.

Even Hua Shanshan shook her head, laughing at this man who ate flying vinegar in her heart.

This scene is warm, but Yuan Qingfeng is playing some scenes that give him a headache.

"Qingfeng, this is Xu Junyao, the descendant of the Xu family, you went to the Xu family to meet when you were a child, and you also played 'playing house' together, do you remember?"

A beautiful woman in an embroidered brocade robe pulled Yuan Qingfeng, who had just hurried back from outside, and pointed to the woman in a gorgeous costume next to her.

Take a closer look, there are some similarities between the eyebrows and eyes of the beautiful woman and Yuan Qingfeng, but the beautiful woman is amorous, and when she arrives at Yuan Qingfeng, it turns into a clear rhyme, which looks much clearer. This person is Yuan Qingfeng's mother, and the scene in front of her is the familiar ancient drama of a mother pretending to be sick and tricking her son to come back on a blind date.

Pinching the corners of his forehead that was faintly painful, Yuan Qingfeng said helplessly, "I thought that mother, you should lie on the bed and rest well at the moment, instead of coming out to blow the cold wind and 'catch the wind and wash the dust' for your son." ”

Yuan Qingfeng deliberately gritted his teeth and said the words in the back, and the deep meaning in it was known without thinking about it. Especially when he saw the girl next to his mother who frequently discharged electricity to him, he suddenly felt tired. He is not busy outside, although he stays in C City, he also plays games for the family and those families, although their Yuan family has not been born, but the great turmoil that has occurred during this time has been serious enough to affect all the hidden families, and he has to raise his spirit to deal with it. Unexpectedly, when he was the busiest, his mother staged such a drama, which made him cry and laugh.

"Eh, you kid, you don't want to order a good one. Seeing you and mine, my illness will be cured immediately, okay? You don't look at it, you've been gone for two years, you haven't even returned home once, and there are few letters, I don't know if you're doing well or badly outside, is it so difficult to see each other now? (To be continued......)
