Lin Zhao acted decisively, immediately kneeling before Qin Bai and begging for mercy.

"Get up. I'm not a serial killer. I won't kill you."

Only when he saw that Qin Bai really had no intention of making a move did this person dare to stand up.

"You can join our team now, but I need to know more."

Hypnotic questioning involves a question-and-answer format, which can easily lead to some omissions.

If he said it himself, there would be more information.

As for whether the other party would lie, Qin Bai wasn't worried. If he dared to lie at this point, it would be unless he really didn't want to join the team.

Sure enough, as Xu Chi revealed what he said, Qin Bai also learned about another matter.

He said he personally witnessed someone rush out of the city limits, and an ice corpse following behind him also rushed over.

As a result, the charred corpses completely ignored that person and instead fought with the ice corpses.

This made Qin Bai realize that the ice corpse and the charred corpse did not seem to be in cahoots.

Qin Bai stroked his chin, realizing how little he knew about the world after leaving the residential area.

Much of this information is not mentioned online.

"Was someone deliberately keeping it from others, or did these things appear later?"

Qin Bai was unaware that, because they lived together every day, he had no opportunity to take out his phone to go online.

It's fair to say that he hasn't seen any information online these past few days.

Qin Bai was too lazy to think about it further; he'd find out when the time came.

Nothing was said that night.

The next day, they set off from here to the shelter.

This place is very close to the edge of the city, and there are fewer and fewer houses around.

They couldn't see any place to replenish their food supplies, but since they had obtained enough food last time, they weren't worried about this issue.

As they walked, they arrived at the edge of the city.

From here on, there wasn't a single trace of snow left.

It's like a knife that cuts the two sides apart completely, leaving them unrelated.

They stood on the snow, which was one or two meters high, looking at the asphalt road in front of them, and for a moment they didn't know what to say.

"It seems we haven't seen any charred corpses."

Wu Ming looked around and said.

"Xu Chi, is this the place you mentioned last time?"

Zeng Qiangguo called Xu Chi over, pointed here, and asked.

"Yes, yes, this is it. This is where I saw the charred corpses last time. Strange, why are there none of them this time?"

Xu Chi scratched his head, looking puzzled.

"It's not that the charred corpses are gone, but that they were lured away by someone."

Qin Bai pointed to some marks on the ground and said.

There were some water stains on the asphalt road; they must have been snow that had been left on someone's feet and had just melted.

"So, someone came here before us, ran out, and lured the charred corpse away in the process? Who would be so bold?"

Wu Ming was very surprised.

"There's a high chance he's a superhuman; most people wouldn't have that kind of guts."

Qin Bai said.

"Brother Qin, what should we do next? Should we proceed from here and look for a safe haven?"

Zeng Qiangguo asked.

Qin Bai was also thinking. He had originally wanted to go and see the shelter, but the current situation seemed to be different from what he had imagined.

If we really start from here, the sheer number of charred corpses ahead would be a huge problem.

It should be noted that most of the more than one hundred people here have no fighting ability whatsoever.

Previously, the rewards from the arena did not all provide weapons and equipment; many were other items as well.

For example, the thermos he got was a silver-level item, and this is all he got?

"Now that we've made the decision, we can't change it arbitrarily. Let's move on."

Qin Bai jumped directly off the snow, and as soon as he arrived, he felt himself starting to sweat.

He was surprised to find that the temperature here was not tens of degrees below zero, but a normal twenty-something degrees.

Keep in mind that everyone was wearing thick clothes to keep warm. Once they got to a place with normal temperatures, all those clothes would have made them unbearably hot.

Qin Bai acted decisively, taking off his thick clothes to reveal a single layer of clothing underneath.

"Brother Qin, what are you doing? You'll freeze to death!"

Wu Ming thought Qin Bai had gone mad, so he jumped down and tried to get Qin Bai to put his clothes back on.

But after he came down, he understood why Qin Bai did that, because he was also extremely hot.

"The temperature is different here, so you will all need to change your clothes after you come down. Considering that there are quite a few women in the group, we will find some clothes suitable for summer first. After you change, you can take them off here."

Wu Ming said.

They deliberately walked back a bit and found a small shopping mall with a lot of summer clothes inside.

After they changed, they came straight here.

Sure enough, as soon as they arrived, they felt their whole body heat up. They quickly took off their heavy clothes and immediately felt much better.

"What's going on here? It's just a thin line, and over there it's tens of degrees below zero, while here it's normal temperature."

Wu Ming was somewhat moved.

"Who cares? As long as we follow Brother Qin, what's the point of thinking so much?"

Zeng Qiangguo is quite open-minded; after all, if he couldn't, he would have committed suicide long ago.

"It's so much more comfortable to wear summer clothes. Before, I couldn't move freely in those thick clothes."

Qi Zhenlong stretched his body and felt refreshed.

Xia Lulu and Zhang Xintian changed into short-sleeved T-shirts and light jeans. No longer having to wear heavy clothes, both of them smiled.

But before they could be happy for long, Qin Bai's voice reached their ears.

"Attention everyone, prepare for battle!"

A dozen strange figures appeared ahead, their bodies charred like coals, and even emitting tiny sparks.

Inside their eye sockets, there was a burning flame.

Just as Xu Chi had said, these were corpses that looked like charred charcoal; the name "charred corpses" was very apt.

There weren't many charred corpses, and Qin Bai could handle them all by himself, but this time he didn't plan to take action personally.

“You’ve also received weapons, which can deal with these charred corpses. I can’t protect all of you on the way ahead; you need to stand up and protect yourselves.”

"Old Wu, Old Zeng, and Xiao Qi, none of you need to lift a finger."

Qin Bai's words caused many people's expressions to change, but some gritted their teeth, picked up the weapons they had just obtained, and stepped forward.

"Mr. Qin is right. With so many of us relying on him, how are we supposed to proceed? We've already obtained these weapons. Mr. Qin said they're much more powerful than ordinary weapons. As long as we put in a little effort, killing the charred corpses won't be a problem!"
