The slight tremor quickly grew closer, and Shi Yin could already feel the rumbling of the ground beneath her feet.

"Ice and snow, freeze!" Shi Yin waved her right hand, and her cane instantly appeared in her hand, like a stabilizing needle, which she inserted into the snow.

An unseen force arose from the snow, and countless snowflakes froze into a single entity, still and frozen. The world was now covered in ice and snow, and the control over the ice and snow actually protected the entire complex of buildings.

Those with similar ice and snow abilities in various places also used the same method. Of course, they could not control ice and snow on such a large scale as Shiyin, but they managed to control the situation by prioritizing the load-bearing capacity.

Some individuals with superpowers related to the earth or soil stabilized various buildings and houses by controlling the base plate.

However, there are still very few people with superpowers, and some buildings with average construction quality were damaged in the strong earthquake.

Fortunately, the air was too dry, making it difficult for the moisture in the air to continue snowfall, which slightly eased the difficulty for the search and rescue team.

"What the hell? Such a powerful explosion." Shi Yin frowned.

"Huh? A man-made earthquake?" Freya exclaimed in surprise. "If that's the case, doesn't it mean there's a large-scale war going on nearby?"

But Shi Yin is here, so who's waging a large-scale demolition war in the Yanlong Kingdom?

"No, this is a matter of spreading out firepower; Helmod went all out." Shi Yin shook her head: "Completely unleashed so early?"

These world-class individuals also face the risk of being mirrored by the mirror zombies. However, unlike ordinary people, who are not mirrored when they fully unleash their power and sacrifice themselves, these individuals do not need to sacrifice themselves; they simply need to unleash their full power and release their abilities.

However, the cost was too high, and the consequences were too great.

“Helmod’s massive cannons, when fully unleashed, are concentrated in one point. If the aftershocks aren’t dispersed, they will wipe out the entire nation of Wellen.” Shi Yin and Freya explained, “Generally speaking, Helmod will employ special combat tactics.”

"Hit the enemy first, and before the surrounding buildings or land have fully withstood the explosion and destruction, tear through space to create countless small gaps, disperse the aftershocks, and create a few more small craters on the earth. This is much better than blowing the earth through directly."

"However, it's not that precise. The aftershocks we're feeling now are probably only about one percent of the power he dispersed."

"So urgent? Should I go and help, sister?" Freya asked.

“No, Helmod knows what he’s doing and will let me know when he needs me.” Shi Yin shook her head: “He and I have the most convenient way to communicate; he can reach me with just a thought. The fact that I haven’t received a signal means that he doesn’t need my intervention right now.”

Moreover, Shi Yin isn't a nanny; what kind of person would she be, interfering in every little thing that happens?

Let's wait for news from the government and Helmod before discussing it further.

"Okay... then, sister, shall we go buy some snacks?" Freya tugged at Shi Yin's sleeve.

Shi Yin paused for a moment, following the direction Freya was pointing.

That supermarket had been abandoned for a long time. After the apocalypse, it was invaded by zombies and then shut down by the government. It had never been opened. The roller shutter door was tightly closed, and the signboard was old, covered with a layer of dust, and rusty.

“These shops haven’t had electricity since the apocalypse, so everything must be broken, right?” Shi Yin stood in front of the supermarket, looking up at the desolate scene.

"But the water and compressed biscuits inside, which have a longer shelf life, shouldn't be spoiled, right?" Freya knocked on the roller shutter door with a grin. "Has Shion-neechan ever experienced free shopping?"

"roar……"

Perhaps startled by the knocking on the roller shutter, faint, indistinct roars of zombies could be heard coming from behind it.

"Oh, someone's here." Freya chuckled and touched the roller shutter door, pink ice crystals quickly condensing and covering most of the door.

With Freya's gentle flick, the pink crystal shattered, and the entire roller shutter door broke, revealing its dilapidated interior.

The cabinets inside were all crooked and overturned on the floor. Judging from the rope that had fallen from the beam, someone must have hanged themselves there, but the body had been removed by the inspectors.

The wall was covered with a lot of strange things. Perhaps because of the cold weather and the fact that they had been drying for too long, they no longer smelled bad, but they looked grotesque and terrifying.

Cleaning such shops is time-consuming and laborious, so it's no wonder that no effort has been put into their repair and use since the apocalypse.

"roar--"

As soon as the two entered, a roar came from the cashier. A zombie stretched out its arms to attack the suddenly appearing humans, but its legs were pinned down by the cabinet and it was unable to move at all.

"Hey, don't be so irritable, stand at attention." Freya nimbly dodged the zombie's outstretched claws and patted it on the shoulder.

The next moment, all the joints of the zombie were fixed in place by pink crystals, and it not only stood at attention but also gave a military salute.

The zombie was probably completely bewildered. Its cloudy, pale eyes rolled around for a long time, unable to figure out what was going on with it. Even its roars became softer.

So, through Freya's efforts, she arranged the three remaining zombies in the supermarket into different shapes: standing at attention, saluting, at ease...

Shi Yin: "..."

Isn't this little girl a bit too good at adapting to zombies and the apocalypse?

"Nene~ Shiyin-neechan, you still haven't answered my question." Freya said with a smile while pulling Shiyin to look for something, "You know the story about Guan Nianshan, right?"

"I suppose that's his privacy," Shi Yin said hesitantly.

"I'm trying to find a breakthrough for my sister. Maybe there's still hope for him, and he's not at the point of being abandoned." Freya picked up a can of luncheon meat from the ground and said with a grin, "Since my sister values ​​Guan Nianshan so much, finding someone else must have taken a lot of effort, right?"

"I don't really care about him, I just have to keep an eye on when to kill him." Shi Yin said without any emotion: "He and Chang Ning are both part of the main force of the new world, I just intercepted him halfway."

This is why Shi Yin chose to entrust Chang Ning to Guan Nianshan's care.

They both possessed the same aura of the new world, so they could both supervise each other without repelling one another.

Being with one's own kind is the most comfortable. If Shi Yin were to entrust Chang Ning to Ye Shaoheng, Ye Shaoheng's upright character would make Chang Ning feel uncomfortable and slow down his progress. Moreover, Chang Ning would be very resistant to him.

People in the New World are almost allergic to the aura of the Old World, especially the "righteousness" of those who uphold justice. They only feel a sense of belonging when they are with their own kind.

This is one of the reasons why the mastermind behind the scenes was able to completely control the new world.

"Huh?" Freya was genuinely surprised now: "The New World? The main force behind the zombie mastermind?"

"Well, it's a bit complicated. Superhumans will receive a world imprint, but the monsters in the new world will also be recognized by something, and their aura will change, causing them to become stronger rapidly." Shi Yin explained, "Being recognized before turning into a zombie is equivalent to becoming a superhuman, and you won't be infected by zombies."

"However, if one is infected before being recognized, one becomes a complete zombie and poses a great threat to human society."

"Moreover, zombies are not as complex as us. For humans to awaken and be imprinted, they need a firm will, a clear goal, distinctive characteristics, and a determination that surpasses that of ordinary people."

"But zombies are different. Those auras have already targeted certain people. Once they become zombies, they will become the power they want. They are extremely powerful."

"But...it will become even uglier..."
