"It's so quiet here, and there's no one else." Li Xiaorou said.

"That is, now most people are thinking about how to warm up in groups for the winter, how can ordinary people have time to come out, not to mention such a thick snow." Zhang Qiru said.

"We don't seem to be short of things, so why do we have to go out? Wouldn't it be just to explore the way for that guy Zhou Yan? Li Xiaorou asked.

"Of course not, we actually need a lot of things, such as quilts, cotton clothes or something to replenish, it is best to find a few tents and sleeping bags, we will inevitably go out to hunt in the future, it is normal to stay outside for a few days, it is necessary to prepare more!" Zhang Qiru said.

"That's right, let's go to the city and have a look!" Li Xiaorou said.

A few people walked slowly on the sleigh, observing the surrounding situation along the way.

"Did you notice that there are no zombies here, I remember that there were still a lot of zombies here before the snow!" Li Xiaorou said.

"You found out too? It's really strange, there is not a single one, it won't freeze into slag, right? Leng Xi said.

"Probably not, at most it will freeze into ice cubes, not to freeze and shatter." Zhang Qiru said.

"So where can they go? Mass migration to the south for the winter? Li Xiaorou said.

"Who knows? Virus evolution is not accurate! Leng Xi said.

"Pray Ru, look, what is that?" Zhao Yun had been looking around, and suddenly found a black thing in the snow.

"Huh?" Zhang Qiru looked at the position pointed by Zhao Yun, there was indeed a black thing.

Zhang Qiru jumped off the sleigh and walked slowly with a machete. When he got closer, Zhang Qiru saw clearly that the black thing was actually a zombie's hand.

"Damn, it's a zombie, aren't zombies buried under the snow?" Zhang Qiru turned his head and said to Zhao Yun and the others.

"Who knows! Dig it up and see. Li Xiaorou said.

"Huh? Zhang Qiru, that zombie seems to be moving! Leng Xi said suddenly.

"What, alive?" Zhang Qiru turned his head to look and said.

Suddenly, the zombies in the snow sat up all of a sudden, and almost had a close contact with Zhang Qiru, which really scared Zhang Qiru. Zhang Qiru quickly jumped back, and then cut off the zombie's head with a knife. However, this is only the beginning, because there is much more than this one zombie in the snow, and at one time, hundreds of zombies came out of the snow at the same time, just like the mummies in the mummy movie.

"Let's go! Come on! Zhao Yun said.

"You go first, I'll cut it off!" Zhang Qiru said.

Buck, Da Bai and Xiao Ash ran quickly with the sled, and Zhang Qiru ran in the snow, the big knife in his hand constantly harvesting the heads of zombies. However, if it was just an ordinary zombie, it would be easy to deal with, but at this time, several lickers emerged from the snow, and there was even a giant licker.

"Damn, this is not scientific! How could a giant licker be so big hiding in the snow! Zhang Qiru said.

"What science is not scientific, hit!" Zhao Yun said.

Zhang Qiru replaced the machete, took out the gun and began shooting. One of the good things about snow is that zombies can't run that fast, and even lickers are hampered by the snow, but giant lickers aren't affected too much.

"Fight the giant licker, ignore the other zombies first!" Zhang Qiru said.

Dada...... The seven of them worked together to fight the giant licker, no matter how powerful the giant licker was, there was no way to resist it, and the beaten one fell back again and again, blocking the bullet flying towards the head with his arm. However, the 5.8mm bullet has a strong penetrating power, shooting through the zombie's arm in minutes, and a series of blows make the giant licker powerless to parry, and finally knocked down in the snow.

"The Licker is up!" Chauzer shouted.

As soon as Zhang Qiru saw it, several small lickers also followed, and they were about to attack Zhang Qiru and the others.

"Change the bullet!" Zhang Qiru shouted.

Zhang Qiru immediately changed into a machete and ran towards a licker. The licker waved his claws at Zhang Qiru, and Zhang Qiru reflexively cut off the licker's claws, and cut off the licker's head one after another. The other lickers turned to attack Zhang Qiru, and Zhao Yun and the others also changed their bullets, and shot at several lickers, instantly knocking several lickers away.

"Let's go!" Zhao Yun said.

Zhang Qiru quickly put away the machete, climbed into the sleigh, and left the land of right and wrong with the rapid movement of the three dogs.

After running for several kilometers and approaching the edge of the city, Zhang Qiru and the others stopped.

"Finally got rid of it!" Li Xiaorou breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's so strange that the zombies aren't frozen!" Leng Xi said.

"What's strange about that, didn't you say that it's hard to judge in which direction the virus will evolve? Frost resistance is normal now! Zhao Yun said.

"But it's unbelievable that they're hiding in the snow now!" Chauzawa said.

"That's not what I'm worried about right now, I don't think it's just that the zombies don't have the result of freezing!" Zhang Qiru said.

"So what are you worried about?" Li Xiaorou asked.

"If I'm not mistaken, the temperature at which the sea solidifies must be about -1.5 degrees Celsius, right?" Zhang Qiru said.

"Well, almost." Li Xiaorou said.

"Bai Chunyu said that the cells and internal environment of zombies are similar to those of humans, but the way of operation is different, the current temperature is minus five degrees, and the cytoplasm and tissue fluid of human beings are similar to seawater, and they should freeze at this temperature!" Zhang Qiru said.

"We can generate heat through cellular respiration!" Li Xiaorou said.

"It's the same with zombies, even if they're driven by a virus, they need energy!" Zhang Qiru said.

"What's there, isn't that normal?" Li Xiaorou said.

"You still don't understand what I mean! In the past, in order to save energy, zombies could reduce their activities when there were no humans, and even let as few cells work as possible, so zombies usually do not invade humans on a large scale, except for the command of intelligent zombies. But now, zombies have a reason to consume energy, and it is constantly consumed, even if the energy utilization efficiency is very high, it also requires a very large energy supply! Zhang Qiru said.

"You're saying that zombies might be more aggressive because of this?" Li Xiaorou finally understood.

"More aggressive is probably just a euphemism, but they will invade human settlements on a large scale!" Zhang Qiru said.

"You have a point! Wouldn't it be dangerous for us to stay here? Li Xiaorou said.

"It's okay now, it's only a few days in winter, and it's hard to say in a few days!" Zhang Qiru said.
