Without sanity, according to the words of this world and immortal cultivators, there is no soul.

A soulless body will quickly decay, just like dried fruit without the ridiculously heavy preservatives in it.

It's winter, and there's not so much room for decomposers and flies, so these zombies are still alive.

If the cold passes, winter turns to spring, and the weather gets hotter, then it is impossible to say.

It may be impossible for these zombies to "come back from the dead" or to regenerate intelligence from the corpses.

If you want to find a way to control these zombies, and make them free, tireless, and tearful labor force for the capitalists to see, it is naturally better.

But, how to control it?

When the weather warms up, how can we extend the shelf life?

These are issues that cannot be ignored.

"Yes, they have lost their souls, and in these empty shells, there is something strange that controls their instincts."

"How do you control that?" Pei Mengqing asked.

"I don't know, it depends on whether the research institute can come up with a suitable method, before that, we have to constantly send Xuanqi-level late-stage warlocks to cut wood outside the city, but this is actually not good."

The demand for firewood in Tianhe County is too great, and although the surrounding Laotou Mountain and Fox Mountain are rich in trees, there are endless forests.

However, the part of the forest near the roadside has been shaved by the warlocks.

The root of the harsh winter has not yet been found, and if it is winter in the future, then these two forests will not be enough to cut down.

Elder Liu is not an ordinary person, and he knows the dangers of indiscriminate logging, such as blocked roads (mudslides), landslides, soil erosion, and unstable soil in fertile fields, so that fewer animals can be hunted.

"Okay, we have something else to gain this time, has Elder Liu heard of the organization 'Yangzhou Slow'?"

"I haven't heard of it, could it be the mastermind behind this incident?" Elder Liu asked.

Pei Mengqing said: "If nothing else, they have a horn that can control the direction of action of the zombie group by blowing the horn, but whether they can achieve finer control is not necessarily."

"I guess it's a superficial organization, because based on the members of the opposing organization we caught, they were only formed at the end of last month.

"In such a short period of time, it is obviously impossible to make so many plans, and it is impossible for them to complete the research and development of the virus, the release of the whole Liang County, and the command of the zombie army to besiege Tianhe County so smoothly in just a few days."

Besides, it was impossible to recruit so many late-stage and mid-to-late stage warlocks in such a short period of time.

These warlocks are not cabbages, just go to the vegetable garden when you need to, there must be a behind-the-scenes organization to plan, so it will be so smooth.

The so-called Yangzhou is slow, it should be just a shell.

What kind of turtle is under the shell has to be found out before we can find out.

After reporting the news, he handed over the two Yangzhou Slow Organization captives to Elder Liu, and Pei Mengqing and they left, as the shopkeeper.

Everyone habitually regarded Pei Mengqing's room as a meeting place, so this time they went to his room to talk.

The three cats lay side by side on the table, holding their paws, looking leisurely and comfortable.

Dongfang Xiaoyu sat on the chair next to the table and sat opposite Pei Mengqing.

The issues discussed by everyone are nothing more than the unbearable cold, the Sky Scanner Sword, the underground Terran beauty Canglan, the zombie siege, and the new evil organization.

While discussing, Pei Mengqing communicated with his own cultivation system in his mind.

"Speaking of which, did you forget something?"

[The system does not have a personality, the host does not need to be called by personal pronouns, just call it 'cultivation system' or 'system']

[In the system query, there are task rewards that have not yet been claimed]

[Reward: Sword of Words Upgraded once]

【Sword of Words is being automatically upgraded】

[Yan Jian (Level 2), description: Du Fu's "White Emperor City Nostalgia" has a cloud "words to confuse people, love can not be violated", words are a kind of sound, silent power, people who can speak well, in ancient times, for the vertical and horizontal family, vertical and horizontal family, unparalleled words, sentence convincing people, walking the world, feudal marquis and worship the prime minister! 】

[Description 2: The text is pretending to be wrong, reversing black and white, saying that the living are dead, and then saying that the dead are alive, words always have a wonderful power, which can not only comfort people who have suicidal thoughts, but also fool good people into lameness, please make good use of the power of words. 】

[Effect: The sword is gone, the sword is coming, it is impossible to prevent, and the attack power will be equal to the power of the host's ordinary sword moves; In addition, the persuasiveness of the host's words is enhanced again, and the effect is stronger on the weaker the person, and if it is used on the mentally handicapped, it can have a hypnotic effect. 】

Although there are no special effects, there is no power that falls out of thin air, and there is no odorless initiation when you shake your body.

Anyway, Pei Mengqing really felt that his sword had indeed become stronger.

"However, apart from the main quest to get the famous sword, there are no more side quests?" Pei Mengqing asked again.

He used to read novels, and other people's systems popped up every once in a while, all kinds of brushes of existence, and one task was not over yet, and he couldn't wait to announce the next task immediately.

They also often suddenly increase the difficulty in the middle of the quest to stimulate the protagonist with better rewards.

But why is his system so calm? Sometimes after the mandate is issued, it will not come out for a long time.

[Because the system has no personality or intelligence, it will not produce oxytocin (love, compassion, moral behavior, trust, maternal behavior, cooperative protective behavior, social), endophenol peptide (pain relief, euphoria, love), dopamine (reward mechanism feedback) and serotonin (emotional stabilizer) like the human race, and will only appear at the right time or when the host needs it to help. 】

[The ultimate goal is to help the host become a sword immortal steadily.] 】

[Successive Phased Tasks Triggered]

[The mystery of winter: Liang County, centered on Tianhe County, has entered a long-lasting severe cold, and even in early February, there is still no sign of spring. 】

[Task 1: Inquire about the anomalies of this year and the past in Tianhe County]

[Mission 2: Find the center of the bitter cold]

[Reward 1: Two Soul Nourishing Pills]

[Task Reward 2: Mall Discount Event Extended for Half a Month]

These two tasks seem not simple, but they are actually not simple, but the rewards of the tasks are very rich.

If the Soul Nourishing Pill is not discounted, 100 points will be one, he used to work hard for a "Sword Monarch Sword Spectrum First Sword" I don't know how many consecutive tasks he has completed to make up enough points.

As for the extension of the discount event, it is even better.

His remaining points have fallen below 1,000, leaving only 918 points, which is of course the best he can save.
