The blizzard in the sky grew increasingly wild and frenzied, accompanied by distant rumblings of thunder. The thick and fierce snowflakes grew larger, driven by the howling wind, obscuring the sky and turning what should have been broad daylight into a twilight reminiscent of an overcast evening.
Wei Xuan couldn’t help but feel a sense of astonishment. He had never seen such a violent snowstorm before in his memory. Perhaps he had? But at that time, he might have been sheltered in a secure base. After all, such an intense and peculiar natural climate was unforgettable.
If there were no differences in the natural climate between the two worlds, Wei Xuan could only assume that in his previous life, although there was thunder on this day, it might not have been clearly audible within the base’s environment, and he hadn’t paid attention to it.
However, if he had known in advance that there would be such heavy snowfall, he would never have come out for hunting today! Wasn’t that seeking death? Even though his tolerance for cold had decreased, the current dreadful weather could freeze him to death!
With a hint of worry, he quickly looked in the direction that Du Hang and the others had headed. Right now, he just wanted to call those guys back immediately, have everyone take cover in relatively safe structures that could withstand this blizzard, and wait until the weather improved before heading home.
Even Wei Xuan’s current physique was struggling in this weather. He felt like his forehead was being numbed by the cold wind.
As he searched for the figures of Du Hang and the others, he was astonished to find that the zombie lackeys who had just dashed out to scavenge and capture animals were now stumbling back in his direction through the almost hurricane-like snow. Some of them were even dragging two large objects behind them!
“They’ve already brought something back?!!” Wei Xuan stood up abruptly from his spot, his eyes wide with disbelief.
It’s not surprising that he was so astonished, considering that his attention had been briefly drawn away by the intense thunder in the sky. In such a short time, his zombie subordinates had not only successfully hunted for prey but also returned with it. Could he not be surprised? How much time had passed?
Looking in the direction of his subordinates, Wei Xuan realized that due to the heavy snow, the figures of many nearby mutated animals had already become blurred, only their traces were faintly visible. Even the creatures that had hurried over to join the commotion from further away were now invisible shadows.
“This is really…” Wei Xuan’s face froze into an expression of “dumbfounded.” He looked somewhat silly. However, his heart was already surging with excitement. Thoughts about different ways to cook lamb and chicken were flooding his mind like a series of messages:
– Braised Lamb
– Braised Lamb Tendon
– Cumin Lamb

He had actually raised a group of hunting experts! Even though he wouldn’t dare take them deep into dangerous territories when hunting in the future, capturing solitary animals around the outskirts of the city infested with mutated creatures to feast upon would be a good idea! It was better than having nothing to eat, right?
In high spirits, he dashed downstairs to greet his victorious subordinates at the front gate.
“We caught something, caught something, caught something…” The endlessly repeating voices were filled with pride and a desire for praise. Wei Xuan generously patted their shoulders and nodded in approval with a smile on his face. “Well done! Let’s wait out the snow…”
Before Wei Xuan’s words could fully sink in, he suddenly felt a pause in the joyful mood of all his zombie subordinates, including Du Hang who had rushed to his side. Subsequently, all the zombie subordinates’ gazes shifted in the same direction.
“They’re here, they’re here, coming over…”
“Food, food, food…”
“Delicious food, can’t eat, delicious food, can’t eat…”
Wei Xuan was stunned. Then, he swiftly turned around to look at a dilapidated window behind him. Outside the window was a gray-white world, whipped up by the fierce wind, making it hard to see the specific situation beyond a dozen meters. Yet even Wei Xuan, at this moment, heard some alarming sounds, not thunder, but gunfire!
Taking a few quick steps to the window, lifting the binoculars hanging around his neck, Wei Xuan’s expression turned grim as he realized that a massive convoy was nearing their location, seemingly out of nowhere!
“Zombies… military vehicles and zombies!” Wei Xuan wasn’t sure when these two forces had merged and come this way. But he could be certain that at least before the snowfall, there had been no sign of them nearby!
“What kind of luck is this?! Let’s go, we have to move quickly!” The building Wei Xuan and his group were in was nearly the only relatively intact structure around and also a sturdy high ground. The direction the convoy and the zombie horde were moving toward was directly aimed at this place!
They probably weren’t intentionally heading here, but Wei Xuan and his zombie subordinates would definitely get caught up in the middle of those guys! By then, it was likely that no one would be able to avoid being embroiled in the situation.
Upon hearing Wei Xuan’s voice, his zombie subordinates who had just been praised, felt the allure of delicious food, and tried to exchange their merits for a chance to feast on a “buffet,” instantly wilted, emanating resentment. However, their emotional rebound this time wasn’t as intense as before. This “consideration” made Wei Xuan involuntarily breathe a sigh of relief while worrying about the situation outside.
Du Hang took a step forward, lifting Wei Xuan directly into his arms. Those subordinates who hadn’t entered the room also held back, waiting outside the door or turning to face outside. Just as Du Hang was about to carry Wei Xuan away, all of a sudden, at the same time, all the zombie subordinates accelerated and rushed out the door.
The cold wind blowing in their faces made it hard to keep their eyes open. Wei Xuan opened his eyes hastily when he heard a loud rumble. He turned his gaze in the direction of the sound, the convoy had already come within about ten meters! The building he had just been in had collapsed by more than half, struck by the artillery of some vehicle.
Wei Xuan felt his heart race; luckily, even though Du Hang had rushed out with him, if he had been left alone inside, he would have been buried by now.
“Let’s go, we need to…” Before Wei Xuan could finish, he once again felt despair. Today seemed to be his unlucky day. If he had known that he would encounter all this, he would have preferred to stay and confront the bull from earlier. Because he didn’t need to see, he could “sense” it. He felt that from not far behind the convoy, something else was coming in their direction!
This feeling was all too familiar, the kind of sensation that sent shivers down his spine, the feeling of a formidable enemy approaching — the little girl zombie. What made Wei Xuan feel like he was going to explode was that the “things” causing this feeling weren’t just one!
Heartbeats echoed, as if pounding against his eardrums, making Wei Xuan feel like all his hair was standing on end (though it was already standing due to the cold). Swallowing hard, he said, “Retreat! To the city! Quick, retreat!”
His voice suddenly grew louder, and the zombie subordinates who had just been resentful quickly withdrew their emotions, seeming to sense Wei Xuan’s anxiety. They didn’t make a sound and, along with Du Hang, turned to dash towards the depths of the city.
The roaring convoy sped in their direction. Due to the heavy snowfall, nearby mutated creatures weren’t easily able to spot them, but the convoy, which had been fighting zombies all along, was now focused on reaching a place of potential survival.
At this time, mutated creatures in the distance seemed to sense something amiss and began running toward the convoy’s direction, even those not deterred by the blizzard, their large forms slowly approaching.
The tremendous vibrations, whether felt by the soldiers in the vehicles or by Wei Xuan and his group evacuating, were unmistakable.
“Captain! Large-sized mutated creatures have appeared from the south! They’re headed our way! There are also zombies from the city appearing from the north, flanking us!!”
Though Wei Xuan was trying to leave with his zombie subordinates, two things happened. The convoy’s escape speed was too fast, intersecting with Wei Xuan’s group. Secondly, there were indeed some zombies in the city outskirts, albeit at a bit of a distance. But in the eyes of the scouts, they saw Wei Xuan’s group as allies, joining the fight against the city’s attacking zombies.
“Breakthrough! Increase firepower and break through in all directions!” The captain had to issue the order, urging his subordinates to rush outward. Otherwise, they would undoubtedly die here today.
The sounds of submachine guns rat-tat-tatting and cannons roaring filled the air. The supernaturals on each vehicle also began to fight back. While most of their firepower was concentrated in the direction of the southern ambush, they had to suppress the encircling zombies, firing in all directions.
To the rear of the convoy, a group of zombies suddenly appeared from the south. Though their numbers were fewer than the ones surrounding the convoy, each one was sprinting at a high speed, their nails as sharp as metal.
This group of zombies suddenly caught up. One of them emitted a piercing shriek, and they all charged at the convoy.
Among these zombies was a small figure, seated on the neck of a chubby zombie. Not far behind them were many other zombies that had never been seen in the city before.
Despite other zombies rushing toward the convoy, these newcomers didn’t follow suit. Instead, they remained in place, watching the battle between the convoy and the zombies from a distance.
Suddenly, the little girl zombie lifted her head and gazed towards the direction of the city. The other zombies around her, those rushing out, and even the zombies surrounding the convoy all paused and looked in the same direction.
Wei Xuan’s mind went blank. In an instant, he felt as if his soul had left his body. However, a quick jolt of pain in his chest brought him back, along with the echoes of machine gun fire in his ears.
Looking down, he stared at his chest in confusion. It was bathed in crimson.
Whoa shot by a stray bullet?! How would his zombie minions and Du Hang react?
Oh, no! Hope he’s ok… Thanks for the update ❤️❤️❤️
gasp
Oh no oh no oh no
BRO WHATTTT
oh no
