Entering February, the light snow also stopped.

The temperature continued to rise, reaching minus 20 degrees.

When the sun is strong at noon, it can reach minus ten degrees Celsius.

People who were accustomed to temperatures of more than 40 degrees below zero now walked outside and felt the wind blowing no longer like a knife.

Everything seems to be changing for the better.

………

In this blizzard, many people died.

In fact, when the apocalypse first broke out, because it was too sudden, the population was reduced to less than ten.

In the heavy rain that followed, the zombies went crazy, causing mankind to suffer a greater blow.

During those heavy rains and the waves of zombies, the number of humans dropped to the point where there was not even one left alive.

Later, extreme weather such as drought and blizzards caused many people to starve to death instead of being killed by zombies.

There are also many food crises that have led to riots, fights, and snatching between people, and the human population has plummeted again.

Xincheng.

This small southern city with a population of one million in the past has experienced many hardships this year, especially after this blizzard.

The current overall population is less than 6,000 people.

Basically, people are scattered scattered, with a few people or a dozen people as units, distributed in hundreds of towns, deep mountains and old forests, or in cities.

........

In the new urban area of ​​Xincheng.

Small commodity wholesale market.

Several people wearing thick coats carefully walked to the door here.

But the door was sealed by snow. The leading man frowned slightly, looked at the door sealed by snowflakes, and greeted the man next to him:

"Wannian, get a shovel. This gate is blocked by snow."

When he heard the man calling him, the man named Wan Nian took out the shovel from his backpack, handed it to a woman next to him, and together they shoveled away the snow.

The leading man looked around cautiously, holding a crossbow in his hand.

When ~

The man named Wan Nian was shoveling snow, and the tip of the shovel hit the iron door directly, making a loud noise.

"Keep your voice down." The leading man, wearing a hat, turned around and shouted in a low voice.

Wannian curled his lips and said: "Brother Wang, the zombies are all frozen now, what are you afraid of? Do you need to be so careful?"

The woman who was shoveling the snow next to her heard this and shoveled half of the snow with the shovel in her hand. She waved it and said politely:

"Be careful with your ten thousand year ship. If it weren't for Brother Wang, we would have died a long time ago. I can't be wrong about what Brother Wang said."

Wan Nian said disdainfully: "I said that we have passed so many places on our way south. If we are not alive until now, what are we afraid of?"

The leading man glared at him with a cold look in his eyes, which made Wan Xin's heart tremble slightly.

Then he shook the snow off his body and muttered a few words, but he didn't dare to say any more.

They continued to shovel the snow with the shovel, and after a while, the snowflakes on the big iron door were cleared by the two of them.

Wannian looked at the big rusty iron lock and said, "Brother Wang, it's locked."

Brother Wang glanced at the iron lock, then looked at another man who was watching the surroundings with a long knife and said: "Pony, go and unlock the lock. Quick."... That pony had a buzz cut, no hat, and his ears

He took the hood off and asked, "Brother Wang, what did you say?"

Brother Wang said again: "Go and pick the lock, you have to put your expertise to use."

Xiao Ma nodded: "Oh, okay, just look at me."

Stepping forward, Wan Nian and the woman stepped aside. Xiao Ma walked to the big iron door and pulled out two thin wires from somewhere on his body.

He slowly inserted it into the big iron lock, held his breath, and concentrated on twitching the iron wire.

One minute passed.

The lock is still not open.

Wannian mocked in a tone that didn't deserve a beating:

"I said, Brother Ma, you haven't been able to use it for too long. Is it because your skills are not good? Isn't this you? Didn't it take more than ten seconds to open the door before? Why does it take so long now?"

Xiao Ma ignored him, his expression moved slightly, and he said:

"Don't talk. This lock has probably been soaked in water before and is a little rusty. Don't make any noise and don't disturb me."

Wan Nian wanted to say something more, but Brother Wang stopped him: "Wan Nian, don't say anything. Hurry up and ask Xiao Ma to open the door."

His tone was a bit unkind. If he hadn't been following him for ten thousand years, even though he was a bit rude, following him was still considered loyal. If not for this, he would have been told to get out.

Click~

With a slight sound, the big iron lock was opened and fell to the ground.

"It's open, Brother Wang. Shall we go in directly?" Xiao Ma turned around and asked.

Brother Wang took a few steps forward and said, "Well, just go in and take a look, the door is locked.

It is possible that this place has not been searched, and perhaps there are a lot of supplies in it."

When Wan Nian heard what Brother Wang said, an excited smile appeared on his face and he said: "At least we have found a good place. Let's go, I will open the door."

As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped forward and slowly pushed the gate upward.

Just when the gate was pushed to one-third of the way, a man ran over from more than ten meters away. The man hurriedly said: "Someone is coming."

Brother Wang frowned when he heard this and whispered: "How many people are there?"

"Three, two men and one woman."

Brother Wang quickly said: "Wannian, put down the gate and let's hide."

After saying that, he walked towards the pillar next to the gate.

There were two abandoned vehicles behind the pillar. Wan Nian and the others didn't waste any time and just followed Brother Wang.

The man walking at the end was cleaning the footprints he had just passed as he walked.

After a while, I heard the voices of several people.

…

A young-sounding voice said with some resentment: "Xiao Kui, you are going to sleep with me today. Yesterday it was Dayong, today it is my turn.

Didn't we agree before that number 135 is me and number 246 is Dayong?

Yesterday it was Dayong, today it’s my turn.”

Then, a young girl's voice came: "Dayong gave me a pack of bear biscuits yesterday.

You know, I like to eat bear biscuits the most. Why should I sleep with you if you don’t give them to me?”

The man who just spoke spoke again: "But, we have agreed. Speaking of this, I bought you a car and a house before. It is much more expensive than the bear biscuits."...that Xiaokui's.

The girl sighed and said: "Yuan Zhong, I know you are good to me.

But that was before the zombie outbreak. Do you think cars and houses are still useful now?

I have you in my heart, but Dayong is kind to me, so I can't possibly not repay him, right?

You are making it difficult for me."

Another man said: "That's right, if you hadn't met Xiaokui first, I would have kicked you out a long time ago. It is for Xiaokui's sake that I tolerate your existence."

"What did you say? Do you want to fight? I tolerate your existence, but I still can't stand you!"

"What, I'm afraid you can't make it, come on. Come here."

"Nima."

…

The noise between the two people became louder and louder, and they were about to start a fight.

Xiaokui, who was standing between the two people, suddenly shouted: "You two, stop, we are here to look for supplies, not to quarrel."

If you keep doing this, I will really get angry."

The two men stopped talking, and Xiaokui held their hands and said:

"I love you two so much. My heart has been filled up. My heart can no longer hold anyone else. In my heart, you are equally important.

Stop arguing, okay? I just hope that the three of us can live well in this end of the world..."

As she spoke, tears began to fill Xiaokui's eyes.

"Xiao Kui."
