The city covered by white snow was quiet, but at this moment, T City was quite different from other cities that had fallen to zombies. While most of the zombies were in slumber, apart from the zombies active in Wei Xuan’s neighborhood, there were other zombies moving outside in the city.
Their numbers were numerous, at least a few thousand at a glance. These zombies entered the city from the south, slowly wandering through the snow-covered streets and alleys.
On the route they took and at the highway intersections outside T City, there were scattered armored vehicles and the corpses of mutated creatures.
Of course, there were also many zombie corpses in that area, now peacefully asleep beneath the ice and snow.
If anyone familiar with the faces of most zombies in T City were present, they would be quite surprised. Except for a few, the rest of the zombie faces were definitely not seen in T City before.
At this moment, a little girl zombie sat astride the neck of a slightly plump middle-aged male zombie. It had changed into a red dress, quite conspicuous against the backdrop of ice and snow. Behind it, the other unfamiliar zombies were wearing a mishmash of clothes, which weren’t necessarily well-fitting. However, compared to other zombies, their clothes seemed relatively “clean.”
Although their steps were slow, their walking speed wasn’t. There were still scattered survivors in T City who, after experiencing the situation last winter, understood that the city was much safer now after this heavy snowfall.
Some people cautiously approached their windows, contemplating collecting some snow from outside to use as drinking water, or even venturing out to scavenge for supplies while most of the zombies were sleeping. To their astonishment, they discovered a large group of zombies wandering outside! They were frightened, quickly retreated into their rooms, and dared not make a sound.
These zombies looked incredibly eerie! More so than the zombies usually wandering in the city!
The procession slowly strolled through the city. If someone were to view from above, they would see a striking black tide on the white snow.
In a room, Du Hang, who had been lying on Wei Xuan, suddenly twitched slightly. He slowly turned his head, looking in a certain direction outside the window. After the zombies in Wei Xuan’s neighborhood had been shoveling snow for a while, their movements suddenly halted, and they all turned their heads in the same direction.
Suddenly, Du Hang, who had been lying on Wei Xuan, moved. He dashed out like a sword, leaping out of the building’s entrance and landing on the top floor of a nearby building. On the rooftop of that building lay two frozen “prey,” the carcasses of a sheep and a chicken.
“Roar!” An angry roar echoed from Du Hang’s mouth, and following that, the zombie horde in the neighborhood also emitted the same roar.

This roar was different from the faint growls during the snowstorm two days prior. It was clearer, carrying a distinct sense of threat.
People who weren’t initially in the path of these zombies also stopped their work, looking outside in fear towards the direction of the sound. Fear crept into everyone’s hearts – had something changed with the zombies again? Could it be they were evolving once more? What if, after evolving, they wanted to intensify their efforts and drag the people hiding in the buildings out to eat?!
The roar continued for an entire day, leaving the entire city’s population trembling with anxiety, unable to sleep at night.
Meanwhile, in Wei Xuan’s neighborhood, Du Hang and the zombie horde maintained their positions, facing off against an opposing force nearly ten times their size. These zombies had almost surrounded the neighborhood!
Figures crouched or stood, and the two groups of zombies glared at each other, as if a battle were about to erupt at any moment. Even with their disparate numbers, there was no doubt that the side with fewer zombies wouldn’t take a single step back.
With a soft “thump,” a faint sound, barely audible without a stethoscope, pulsed. The roaring zombie horde abruptly fell silent.
“Thump.” Another sound pulsed, this time after several dozen minutes. But even so, it reached the ears of all the zombies present.
The little girl zombie riding on the fat zombie’s neck turned her head towards a window on the third floor of a building within the neighborhood. Her line of sight couldn’t penetrate the thick curtain hanging on the window, obscuring the view from outside. Yet, it seemed as if she had seen something.
Tilting her head, she emitted a short, sharp screech. She turned around and slowly walked away, with about three hundred other zombies following her, heading in the same direction.
The remaining zombies were still numerous. They didn’t “obey” the little girl zombie’s command but remained in place, observing the other zombies in the building and throughout the neighborhood.
After the third “thump” sounded, one zombie among the group stood upright and let out a sharp scream. At the instant he heard this, Du Hang burst forth toward the direction of that zombie, as if his entire body had transformed into a sword!
As Du Hang leapt, the opposing zombie also jumped down from the building he was on. The remaining zombies from both sides stared intently at the two figures colliding in mid-air, waiting for the final outcome…
“Are their vital signs normal? What about blood flow and heart rate?” The leader couldn’t help but ask as he looked at the two soldiers lying on the bed, surrounded by numerous doctors in white robes, all looking tense.
“Their heart rate is around fifty beats per minute. Their previous medical reports showed a heart rate of sixty-four beats per minute. Other physiological conditions are still being tested, but based on the data we have so far, the decrease isn’t significant. It’s similar to the gradual temperature drop situation we observed before.”
Upon hearing this conclusion, relief spread across the faces of those present. The possibility they had speculated about before was too astonishing, and fortunately, this case provided a counterexample.
This indicated that it was unlikely for soldiers to turn into zombies simply because their body temperature dropped below thirty degrees. It was likely that the three soldiers who turned into zombies suddenly had some underlying health issues that caused them to die abruptly, leading to rapid zombification shortly after.
The two soldiers cooperated with the researchers for a whole week of testing before being allowed back to their original unit.
After all, since body temperature was gradually dropping, how could it be possible for someone to mutate into a zombie just because their temperature fell below thirty degrees?
With this conclusion, the atmosphere among the upper echelons of the base finally relaxed. Of course, since very few people knew about the conjecture of “temperature dropping below thirty degrees,” the matter only circulated among a small group of high-ranking individuals.
…
In a small town not far from T City, inside a residential house, a young man in his twenties held his head, his eyes blankly staring at the three people swaying beside him.
They had been friends hiding together in this building since the early days of the apocalypse, and they had endured two years of post-apocalyptic life together. But now… last night, one of their friends suddenly turned into a zombie and attacked the other two, and he, thinking he had no chance of escaping this time, had not been attacked by the three zombies at all.”
What on earth… could be happening?
The room was as quiet as ever, not a sound to be heard.
Wei Xuan lay silently on the large bed. Some light seeped through the gaps in the curtains of the glass window beside the bed, unevenly illuminating his face and body.
His eyelashes didn’t quiver, and his chest didn’t rise or fall with breath. He didn’t look like a sleeping person; rather, he resembled a delicate wax figure.
After a while, footsteps could be heard at the room’s entrance. The sound was heavy and clumsy, step after step.
Du Hang hopped in from the bedroom door. Unlike his usual bouncy entrance, he was now missing a leg, and his left arm was severed halfway. However, his expression remained calm, without a hint of disturbance. He hopped to the side of the bed, retrieved a snowflake from his pocket, put it in his mouth, then slowly climbed onto the bed, pressing half of his body against Wei Xuan’s.
His wounds were no longer bleeding, and the wounds on his arms and legs were slowly healing before the naked eye.
“Thump.”
As Du Hang drew near, that familiar, calming sound echoed from within Wei Xuan’s chest once again. With his eyes gently shut, Du Hang leaned his head against Wei Xuan’s cheek, letting his lips brush against his skin.
Outside the room, on the streets of the neighborhood, the zombie underlings swayed their bodies again. They emitted a pleasurable aura that couldn’t be ignored, and their brainwaves converged, forming words with a peculiar melody. It was like a group of idiots singing the simplest tune together—”Sleeping, sleeping, sleeping…”
Outside the neighborhood, the black figures gradually faded away. They turned their bodies one by one, leaving the area, either dispersing or moving together, spreading throughout the entire city. But not a single one remained within a kilometer of the neighborhood.
Yeah go away bad zombies ! Give me back my sweetness ! (Thank u for the chapters you save me from the cliff)
Tune in for the next episode of little sleeping beauty and his ~seven dwarves~ hundred zombies!

Okay, I’m a little more relaxed than before, at least his heart beats again, and his zombies are protecting him well. Now he and Du Hang are… both… zombie kings? I think?
Thank you for the chapter!
Little zombie girl had only 300left from the horde and the others remained behind in Wei Xuan’s neighborhood and then scattered after the fight…?
I think she moved to safety with her guards while her army went to fight. Thankfully, Du Hang handed those zombies their heads and protected the neighborhood territory…
Battle won, territory claimed. Little girl zombie best stay away! Pick up your minions and head off to another city…scram! Du Hang is capable of protecting our sleeping beauty. Thanks for the update 🤣❤️🤣❤️🤣
I think sleeping beauty is evolving into somebody fierce that the little girl zombie is scared of!!
