Recently, Wei Xuan has been busy. While he’s busy organizing the open space in his residential area, he also trains the zombies in the neighborhood from time to time and frequently takes his zombie companions out to search for supplies. Compared to the relatively relaxed winter days, he’s really busy now.
When the cat’s body finished burning, Wei Xuan set out once again with his zombie companions.
Their destination this time is a large supermarket a bit further away. Apart from being interested in the various boxes and containers in the supermarket, Wei Xuan’s goal is also the toy section, yes, even though he thinks his zombie boyfriend is already quite smart, he hopes to further develop Du Hang’s intelligence, even if it’s just to speed up the process.
Especially with the progress of the couple next door. They’re practically about to perform a zombie version of “18+!”
Of course, Wei Xuan would never admit that he’s envious of the neighbors. He genuinely just wants Du Hang to be smarter and more capable.
Setting off with his companions once again, this trip is expected to be longer than the previous ones, but Wei Xuan estimates that they will definitely be back before the peculiar May snowfall.
Yes, it’s already May.
This spring is similar to previous years, with hardly any proper rain, only two instances of precious rain falling. Luckily, Wei Xuan was well-prepared before that, utilizing all the pots and containers at home to collect rainwater.
Even luckier, before the rain came, Wei Xuan had already dealt with the remaining strange snow-water from before, turning it into bags of crystal-clear snowflakes.
The quantity of these snowflakes is barely enough for Wei Xuan now. He and Du Hang, as well as the zombie couple, consume a significant amount of snowflakes daily, and even more need to be allocated to the accompanying zombie companions who stay behind. Especially for the zombies left behind, in case of unexpected situations like encountering a mutated animal, they rely on the snowflakes to heal wounds and maintain their fighting capabilities!
Lastly, the most important use is for watering the indoor planting machine and experimental fields. This also requires snowflakes. Although the quantity doesn’t need to be excessive, it must be present.
Wei Xuan experimented during early spring to grow the mutant plants in regular soil, but their growth rate was significantly slower than those in the cultivation machine. After adjusting the snowflake concentration in the irrigation water, he confirmed that it solves the issue.
Therefore, snowflakes are a major necessity.
All of these factors have led to Wei Xuan’s greater anticipation of the May snowfall.

Now, these containers will serve a crucial role when the peculiar snowfall arrives.
Wei Xuan, leading a large group, spent three nights traveling and arrived at their destination as dawn approached.
He had been to this large supermarket before, but back then, his focus was on seeds. But now, he came with the intention of exploring the toy section…
Well, to be honest, even though he genuinely hopes to help Du Hang improve his intelligence with those items, he’s also quite interested in them himself…
It’s rare for a boy to lack interest in toys. Although the items he plans to take may seem slightly mismatched for his age, so what? Will his boyfriend Du Hang make fun of him? Will his zombie companions mock him? Hmph, even if it’s just toys, and even if he decides to do something that goes against the norms of human behavior in this post-apocalyptic city, there’s no way the zombies would laugh at him!
Thus, with lofty ambitions, Wei Xuan confidently made his way to the second floor of the supermarket and happily plundered the selected toys one by one, his primary targets being Lego and various model toys.
Apart from that, he didn’t even spare a glance at dolls or preschool toys that children usually like.
Hmm, of course, Wei Xuan also grabbed various board games, such as checkers, chess, and snakes and ladders. He took two sets of each game because he had a string of zombie buddies following him this time, so he wasn’t afraid of not being able to carry everything!
After wandering around the second floor, Wei Xuan made his way down to the first floor. As he looked at the mess scattered all over the floor, he furrowed his brows slightly.
It wasn’t just his imagination, this place seemed even more chaotic than when he last visited. Shelves in the supermarket and the clothing and bedding racks on the second floor were all overturned and lying on the ground. It seemed like someone had purposely been here after the cold weather arrived.
During the cold winter, when the roads were difficult to traverse, the zombies would go into hibernation due to the heavy snow. This provided an opportunity for the survivors in the city to venture outside. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to leave their shelters once the weather warmed up.
Wei Xuan only confirmed that people had been here before, but there were no signs of human activity in the supermarket at the moment. The number of zombies in the vicinity wasn’t significant either, so it wouldn’t affect his actions.
After exploring the supermarket for a while, Wei Xuan intended to rest here until it got dark before heading back home. However, as he stood by the large window of the supermarket, looking outside to assess the situation, he unexpectedly spotted a sign on a nearby building that read “Game City.”
Well, he had quite a collection of home gaming consoles and plenty of game discs at home. Today’s outing also yielded many interactive toys that required hands-on engagement. Logically speaking, it shouldn’t matter whether he went there or not. But with so many zombie buddies with him and quite a few of them empty-handed, it wouldn’t hurt to let them carry some big pots and buckets and also grab a bunch of entertainment products. After all, the destination was so close…
And so, the group of zombies sneaked into that building along the corner of the wall. They only emerged from the building when the night had fallen and proceeded to walk along the street toward Wei Xuan’s residential area.
Bags upon bags contained various usable discs and cartridges for home consoles. Sacks upon sacks held different types of educational toys and tabletop games. Judging from all this, it seemed like someone’s daily work wasn’t very busy, or else how would they have time to mess around with all these things every day?
“Wow, it’s on! It’s really on!”
“It seems like it’s really working! Haha, now we don’t have to worry about energy issues anymore!”
“With so many zombies outside, plus those mutated creatures… these devices need further improvement. The size of the crystal cores varies, so the equipment needs to adapt to accommodate them.”
“And there are other things too. As long as these energy sources can provide stable output, they can completely replace electricity. We’ll be able to use everything that previously relied on electrical power!”
“We might even be able to create new types of weapons…”
Excitedly, the group of people in the basement discussed animatedly about a modified desk lamp and a peculiar device.
After about half an hour, that desk lamp made its appearance in the grand living room above, surrounded by another group of people. Although they also looked at the lamp with some curiosity, they were clearly not as enthusiastic as the previous group.
One person attempted to turn the lamp on and off and studied it before nodding. “It’s good. It can indeed replace electricity, but…” He glanced up and poured cold water on a man brimming with excitement. “We don’t currently lack energy sources. We have plenty of solar panels and gasoline for the fuel generators.”
The excited man’s expression froze for a moment.
Another person on the sofa nodded, “That’s right. It’s definitely useful that the crystal cores can replace electricity, but what we need is how to make the zombies regain human-level intelligence as soon as possible.”
“Yes, although we no longer expect them to remember their past lives, we still hope they can communicate like normal humans.”
“Well, you can’t say that. While this thing may not be useful to us, we can trade this energy-conversion device with other bases, especially official ones. They have a lot of talented people over there, and they might have deeper research on the zombie aspect than we do.”
Some things don’t need to be explained, especially when most of the people present were seasoned veterans in the business world. Once they slightly shifted their mindset, numerous ideas quickly formed in their minds.
How to maximize profits, how to entice people from other bases, especially official ones, with this selling point, how to promote the superiority of their own products, and how to protect the privacy and security of this small base, and so on…
The scientist who proudly showcased his new invention was instantly doused with cold water and suddenly realized that the atmosphere in the living room had changed. Within a matter of minutes, his lips twitched as he turned back to his laboratory, leaving this group of black market traders to brainstorm.
He just needed to focus on his research. Even before the apocalypse, he couldn’t get along with these copper-smelling guys, and it seemed nothing had changed.
“Boom, boom…” Several loud explosions shook the room, interrupting the enthusiastic brainstorming session.
“What’s going on? Is there a problem?” One person picked up the walkie-talkie on the table and contacted the security personnel.
“Boss, it seems like something is fighting with those two big dogs over there!”
“Mutated animals or mutated birds?” Since discovering that various mutated creatures surrounded the vicinity and started living their own lives after realizing they couldn’t break in, this base found out that even mutated animals fought among themselves. So hearing about mutated animals fighting wasn’t surprising.
“I don’t know, I can’t see it, but… the thing that arrived seems to be able to shoot fireballs. We suspect… it’s a person! Damn, that person can fly so high and shoot fireballs!!”
