As the middle-aged man spoke, the man standing beside the sofa, one of the former bodyguards, had excitement flickering in his eyes. The reason why they, the pre-apocalypse bodyguards, were interested in the proposals of these pre-apocalypse elites and continued to respect them in the post-apocalyptic world was partly that these individuals held insider information from various channels before the apocalypse.
Whether it was food, new energy sources, or various types of equipment, these individuals even had special channels that allowed them to kidnap… find several scientists while escaping from the city as soon as the apocalypse arrived.
Among these scientists were medical authorities and scientific experts, which were beyond the capabilities of ordinary people who were just bodyguards before the apocalypse, even if they possessed formidable combat skills and physical strength.
What truly enticed them was when these elites discovered that everyone carried the zombie virus within them and that upon death, they would immediately turn into zombies. They immediately guided the scientific experts in their research direction, how to safely transform ordinary people into advanced zombies while retaining human memories and intelligence.
They were well aware of the formidable combat power of zombies after their transformation, especially considering that the zombies continued to evolve in the post-apocalyptic world.
If they could obtain this invincible and scalable combat power while retaining human consciousness and intelligence, they would almost become unbeatable and immortal superhumans!
Putting aside how powerful they would become as humans with zombie attributes, just the fact that everyone now carried the zombie virus within them and would eventually become zombies meant that this research would place them far ahead of everyone else. It was even possible that after the entire human race turned into zombies, they would be the zombies who still retained human memories and intelligence, leading the pack.
In a world where the entire world had descended into the apocalypse, each person was choosing their path for the future. Some chose to fight the zombies to the end, using every method to eliminate all zombies. Naturally, some chose to assimilate with the zombies, completely giving up their identity as humans and living a life without the need to struggle for survival in the apocalypse.
There were also people, like the majority of survivors still residing in the cities, who didn’t aim to exterminate all zombies or expand their influence. They only sought to live peacefully and safely with their loved ones, cherishing each day as a day of happiness.
Now, the people in this villa area had made a choice that aligned with the rest of the world, prepared to embrace their fate of becoming zombies. However, before they fully assimilated into zombies, they had to retain their original memories, human thinking ability, and intelligence.

Some zombies caught the scent emanating from the team members stationed near the cities and stumbled toward them. However, the zombies rushing from other directions continued to head toward the site of the major explosions.
The bombardment lasted for three full days. After three days, there were hardly any standing buildings left in the entire city, only billowing smoke and debris everywhere.
“The satellite photos for today have been received. We must pay close attention to the situation in those two cities every day for the near future.” The various bases that could receive satellite photos and communicate with other bases via satellites had been closely monitoring the two cities.
In the satellite photos presented in the meeting rooms of various bases, the two cities looked like enormous black holes appearing on snowy ground in the distance.
What was even more eerie was that these two pitch-black holes, whose shapes couldn’t be discerned, were constantly emitting black smoke.
Especially in City P, which had been attacked by incendiary bombs, a thick fire continued to burn until three days later.
Some areas that had not been ignited by fire-based abilities during the early days of the apocalypse, or by natural gas explosions and fires triggered by earthquakes, were all ignited in this air raid. This led to chain explosions, creating deep craters on the ground in many places, resembling a desolate lunar surface.
All the bases kept their eyes fixed on those two locations, wanting to see if the zombies inside would be wiped out by this attack. If it could be confirmed that such airstrikes and bombardments could eliminate more than half of the zombies in the cities, then all the bases would use similar methods to clear the remaining cities, maximizing the elimination of all zombies and reclaiming lost territory.
Although everyone knew very well that all the surviving individuals still carried the zombie virus within them, and regardless of the cause of death, they would quickly turn into zombies. However, as long as the external zombies were eliminated and all people returned to the pre-apocalyptic order, strengthening control in all aspects, even if people died every day as in the pre-apocalyptic times, they could try to control the situation as much as possible.
Moreover, they had various medical experts from the pre-apocalyptic era. They had rescued some equipment in advance, and once the lost territory was reclaimed, these experts and scholars could make use of the time to research the zombie virus and develop a vaccine. By then, these problems would naturally no longer be a concern.
Compared to the smoke-filled cities of P City and V City, T City is undoubtedly safe and peaceful.
Wei Xuan walks around the neighborhood every day, checking on the melting snow and occasionally visiting the neighbor next door to feed Uncle Du, who has been wandering around the entrance all winter. He also carefully observes the sky, making sure that the helicopters still make their daily rounds.
By mid-February, Wei Xuan has gathered most of the strange snow that fell in the neighborhood and temporarily stored it in rooms on the entire sixth floor of his building.
Now, his only hope is for the snow outside to melt quickly, so that he can have an outdoor space to plant vegetables and such.
However, being located in the northern hemisphere, T City naturally experiences late and short springtime. In February, it’s impossible to see any snow completely melt and reveal the underlying ground. Especially considering that the Lunar New Year hasn’t arrived yet, even if the weather warms up, it won’t reach significant levels.
Standing by the window, Wei Xuan sips instant coffee while looking at the sky outside. “The base in that area dispatched a helicopter today, and it shouldn’t come out again after returning,” he muses, turning the cup in his hand. “Should I go out or not?”
Previously, when the planes were flying multiple times a day, Wei Xuan never thought about venturing out to farther places. Even during the busy daytime in the neighborhood, he deliberately chose times when the planes wouldn’t fly over and kept an eye on the situation outside. But he still wants to find out what happened outside recently, or if anyone has any news.
Especially before the Lunar New Year, he had agreed with the other two that he wouldn’t meet them at that location in January, but he would visit after the weather warmed up a bit.
Those two guys live in higher places, so they might see things that Wei Xuan can’t. It’s even possible that they could see the previously burned area from the building they live in.
With this idea in mind, after confirming that the frequency of helicopter outings has decreased in recent days, Wei Xuan decides to go out soon.
Especially after the recent strange snowfall, although the snow on the road outside did not melt too much, the snow melted instantly into water on the second day, penetrating through the layers of snow and directly seeping into the soil. As a result, the once solid and thick snow has developed several gaps, and the overall thickness of the snow layer has reduced.
In the past few days, while walking around the neighborhood, Wei Xuan noticed that it has become much easier to move around due to the snow being transformed by the strange snow and melting. This, coupled with the reduced frequency of helicopter outings, makes it even more difficult for Wei Xuan to resist the urge to go out and investigate.
In fact, if Wei Xuan hadn’t encountered those two lunatics before and had established a certain level of communication with them, he probably wouldn’t be as curious and eager to find out what happened as he is now.
But things are different now. Since he has a way to contact and communicate with those two, even if they are unreliable, Wei Xuan wants to get some information from them. He doesn’t want to be left in the dark if something unexpected happens, especially if his presence as a reincarnated person causes things to deviate from what happened in his previous life. What would he do if unforeseen circumstances arise?
“Let’s do it tomorrow. I’ll adjust my sleep schedule a bit today, and tomorrow night we’ll go out,” Wei Xuan said, holding the empty cup in his left hand. He raised his right hand to touch Du Hang’s cheek and leaned in to kiss his lips.
After the incident last time, Wei Xuan has become even more fond of initiating physical closeness with Du Hang. If he used to maintain a bit of reservation in his heart when living together with Du Hang, now he has completely entered the mode of an old married couple, considering intimate gestures with each other as a natural part of their daily lives.
Even if they can’t make significant progress in certain aspects, they are already in a romantic relationship.
Thanks for the update 🤣❤️🤣❤️🤣
I don’t want to see those terrible people anymore 😭 Wei Xuan’s family life is all I need!
Thank you for the update!
Agreed!
Now I’m worried that the satellite images will show that he is living in that building and people will come bother them.
Thanks for the chapter!
Thhaaannkkk yyooouuuuu!!
