Facing the empty living room, Wei Xuan’s mind was filled with a certain song at this moment “How much love can start over, how many people are willing to wait?”
Of course, as this line replayed in his mind, Wei Xuan automatically replaced “love” with “meat.” Though it didn’t rhyme quite right, it deeply expressed his greatest sorrow.
Patting Du Hang’s arm, he said, “Let’s go, we’ll go to the roof.” He still held a glimmer of hope that he might spot those two guys’ traces in the city from the highest point, wherever they went, a horde of zombies followed, making it hard not to see.
Regrettably, no matter how long Wei Xuan held the binoculars and gazed into the darkening sky, he couldn’t catch a glimpse of those two causing any effects.
Letting out a sigh, Wei Xuan patted Du Hang’s arm again. “Let’s go home.”
Though he could tough it out and wait here for those two to return, if they did bring back hunted meat, could he really shamelessly ask them for a piece of meat? Or should he drag them to go hunting again with him?
Wei Xuan didn’t have that much audacity. Even if this time he had come here and the lunatic duo’s outing was for gathering supplies and not to the villa area, he could still wait here for them or maybe even go meet them. But now…
“Sigh… Let’s forget about the meat.” His tone carried a tinge of regret as Wei Xuan lifted his gaze to the sky, watching the pure white snowflakes fall. Sitting beside Du Hang, the electric heater was placed not far away. He felt as if he was in a state of emptiness, as if he had entered a world of white cotton, where he didn’t need to exert any effort.
After a while, this state ended. Wei Xuan treated it as if he had just spaced out for a bit. Looking at the snow falling from the sky, he sighed, “Let’s cook.” There was only one large piece of meat left, so he planned to stir-fry it into meat strips and wrap them in pancakes with mashed potatoes.
Although Wei Xuan really wanted to eat steaming hot rice, the rice was almost finished, and he wasn’t quite willing to use the remainder for porridge.

As the heavy snow continued to fall for most of the day, when the next morning arrived, Wei Xuan immediately led his group of little zombies to start their hard work collecting peculiar snow.
Peculiar snow was a rather unique phenomenon. Within twenty-four hours of falling, it wouldn’t melt, but after that time, it would rapidly melt into water and be absorbed into the ground.
So, if they wanted to collect it, they needed to act quickly. Fortunately, Wei Xuan’s little zombie group had improved greatly. Many tasks that Wei Xuan had only taught them once, they could now quickly grasp and execute. Furthermore, Wei Xuan had made many preparations in advance. The progress of this peculiar snow collection was unusually rapid.
On the roofs of the apartments in the community and on the adjacent rooftops, Wei Xuan had pre-laid clean transparent plastic sheets. All he had to do was have the little zombies slowly load the accumulated snow into buckets and jars and transport them back to the top-floor room in their home that was designated for drying peculiar snow.
This time, since Wei Xuan and the zombies wouldn’t be going far, he mobilized nearly two hundred zombies from the community to work together. He distributed the prepared areas among them, each group responsible for cleaning a few roofs.
Once all the roofs were cleared and the snow collected, the little zombies, each carrying one or two buckets, staggered back to the community, placing the buckets of snow in the designated spots that had been prepared in advance.
In order to collect as much peculiar snow as possible this time, Wei Xuan cleared out nearly all the intact top-floor rooms in the community, and he also cleaned out a large portion of the fifth-floor rooms. He made sure there was space to put the buckets and jars.
The actions of the little zombie group were swift. Wei Xuan himself didn’t anticipate that before he even finished collecting the snow on one rooftop, the rest of the roofs would have already been cleared by the little zombies, and they would have already transported all the snow back home…
How did Wei Xuan discover this? It was because before starting work today, he had announced to the little zombies that they must collect all the snow from the designated locations before they were allowed to wander around and rest on their way back to the community.
Just as he filled a bucket with snow and casually looked downstairs, he found the little zombies wandering around the snowy path, so he quickly had Du Hang carry him and je raised the binoculars to survey the rooftops in all directions. He was startled to discover that the roofs he had prepared in advance were now all clean…
He patted Du Hang’s shoulder, signaling him to put him down. Wei Xuan walked to the edge of the building and looked down, estimating the number of little zombies. He figured that most of them had probably finished their tasks and returned by now.
Wei Xuan shook his head and sighed, “We’re being outpaced by them! Let’s finish this quickly. I’ll check the snow they brought back to see if there are any issues. If everything’s fine, I’ll take them to collect the cleaner snow in the corners later.”
The two of them hastened their actions. Then, Wei Xuan indeed picked a few rooms to inspect and found that the snow was neatly arranged, one bucket after another, on the floors of various rooms. So, he waved his hand and, with the help of the little zombies, demonstrated how to only collect the cleaner snow from the top layer of snow on the side of the road and put it into buckets.
Although the workload for this task wasn’t large, it was more intricate compared to directly collecting the snow from the clear plastic sheets.
Bending over for a long time would cause stiffness in the waist, but fortunately, after teaching the little zombies, Wei Xuan didn’t have to endure such hardships.
After a whole day of busy work, the range over which the little zombies were collecting peculiar snow gradually expanded. They swept through the relatively clean snow in the nearby streets.
When Wei Xuan noticed that things were getting a bit excessive, he promptly called them back home. Not to mention that almost every two- or three-story apartment in the community was filled with various-sized buckets, almost all the little zombies were now standing outside Wei Xuan and Du Hang’s residence, each with a bucket on their back and two buckets in their hands, daydreaming.
Wei Xuan, who had just opened the door and saw this scene, was almost startled. He quickly cleared out a few empty rooms to store the excess snow and called back the little zombies who were still outside working diligently, together with Du Hang.
With buckets upon buckets of snow, it was indeed a great harvest. By the next morning, when Wei Xuan went to the top two floors to check, he found that the snow had indeed melted, leaving the space partially empty due to the snow melting.
He was satisfied and had the little zombies pour the excess snow water into the buckets that had emptied out due to the melted snow. He managed to confine the peculiar snow’s water to these two floors, avoiding encroaching on other rooms’ usable space.
Drying the snow water was a major project, and Wei Xuan knew that it couldn’t be rushed. Although the weather was getting colder these days, the temperature at night rarely reached zero degrees, and it wasn’t yet extremely cold. Thus, after some thought, Wei Xuan placed electric fans in both rooms on the top floor of his own building, which helped accelerate the air circulation within the rooms once they were turned on.
This method was slower but more energy-efficient, saving energy and taking care of all the snow water in the room at once.
Of course, at the same time, Wei Xuan still boiled a few pots of snow water in the room he lived in every day, speeding up the collection of snowflakes and warming the room. Maintaining humidity in the room in this way was also important.
However, just when Wei Xuan thought that this temperature would last for a while and he was leisurely blowing and boiling snow water every day, accompanying his undead husband to play various games that enhanced intelligence, he unexpectedly noticed that snowflakes were falling again from the sky that he thought was merely overcast…
“So, it’s snowing again so soon?” Wei Xuan was a bit surprised as he got up and walked to the window. Thanks to the good insulation measures in the room and the fact that someone’s body temperature no longer sensed warmth or cold, he hadn’t realized that the weather had turned cold before it started snowing yesterday or even today.
He had just finished dealing with the peculiar snow, and now he was faced with more falling snow. Wei Xuan found this quite frustrating. He had wanted to take a good rest for a few days. But after thinking about it carefully, he realized that the first normal snowfall of the year seemed to come quite early last year, so he really didn’t need to be so surprised this year.
It was even luckier that the little zombies had become accustomed to collecting snow. It was just that this time, he would have to go through the process again and take the little zombies to collect snow.
Fortunately, with the newly constructed ice storage, Wei Xuan’s attention was somewhat diverted. Otherwise, he might have felt too tired and postponed dealing with it until after the snow had fallen completely.
Thanks for the update
Wei Xuan’s community had a bountiful harvest of peculiar snow this year maybe enough to feed his little community and some extra stash.🤔
Thanks for the update!
Manna from heaven—the peculiar snowflakes, hahahahaha! Thanks for the update 🤣❤️🤣❤️❄️
Thanks for the chapter! The little zombies harvested their own food for the winter
Although a blessing but this said snow also what started the apocalypse. The question is how or who is the culprit?
