Heavy snow began to fall from the sky, and the tanks crunched and groaned as they rolled over the snow.

The snowflakes, each the size of a thumb, were packed together in mid-air, obstructing the view. Even with binoculars, Jiang Shenglin couldn't see what was happening inside the cave.

“The snow is falling so heavily now, which is not good for our attack. Should we postpone it for a few days?” he said, looking at Gu Mingyue beside him.

"Captain Jiang, how many days do you think this snow will last?" Gu Mingyue asked him, putting down her binoculars.

Jiang Shenglin was taken aback by the question. No one was paying attention to weather observation anymore, so he naturally didn't know.

Jiang Shenglin honestly shook his head.

Gu Mingyue smiled and said, "Since we don't know, we should think of the worst-case scenario."

“These snowflakes are clearly abnormal. They may cause a snow disaster in the future, which would mean we will have no opportunity to attack.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shenglin nodded slightly, took out his walkie-talkie, and contacted the members of the six Hope Teams scattered nearby, indicating that the battle would continue.

Upon hearing this, the Hope Base team members, dressed in white snowsuits, muttered their dissatisfaction in hushed tones.

"Ah Qiu! It's so cold outside, and you still want us to keep attacking? Don't you treat us like human beings?!"

"There are no human rights in the apocalypse. Let's just be obedient and do what the rules. At least we still have coarse grain biscuits to eat," someone said dejectedly.

"Why does Captain Jiang listen to that woman so much? If you ask me, in this kind of weather, you should drink a pot of hot water and find an ordinary person to warm yourself up."

"Alright, that's enough. Once we take down the monster's lair this time, we'll have no shortage of handsome men and beautiful women back at the base!" the squad leader said coldly.

"Tch, we're not even sure if we'll make it back alive!" one of the young men muttered, only to be glared at by the squad leader before turning away and burying himself back into the snow.

Since the telescope couldn't see inside the cave, Gu Mingyue called Shen Ming over and tied a small camera to his crow monster's neck, directing the crow monster to enter the monster's lair to investigate.

The level-two green-skinned crow monster trembled slightly as it entered its nest, not out of fear of being discovered by its own kind as a monster spy.

It's so cold right now. The temperature drops several degrees every day. Yesterday it was minus 10 degrees, but today it's minus 25 degrees.

It had no fur or fat on its body and was shivering from the cold. After entering the nest, the humanoid monsters saw a bird-shaped monster that looked like a bat but paid no attention to it and continued to tear at the limbs and flesh of the mutated animals and humans.

A short while later, the crow monster returned to Gu Mingyue's side with the complete video recording.

The group wrote down all the roads and passageways inside the cave on paper before instructing everyone to head towards the several passageways leading to the monster's lair.

After the weather turned cold, the movements of the level 2 and 3 humanoid monsters slowed down significantly.

Monsters from human cities gradually gathered in various lairs. Like the crow monsters, they had no fur reserves, making it difficult for them to withstand the cold winter, and their movement speed was greatly reduced.

This heightened their sense of crisis, causing them to spontaneously gather together, wanting to try to continue evolving towards a higher level.

Gu Mingyue knew that this was the best time to attack the humanoid monster, because this was the monster's last evolution.

The final level of a superhuman's advancement depends entirely on talent. Superhumans with low talent can only advance to level three or four no matter how hard they try.

Those with average talent can reach level five, six, or seven.

Those with exceptional talent can reach levels 80 or 90. In her previous life, Gu Mingyue knew only a handful of level 10 superpowered geniuses, because the path of human evolution was too difficult. Lacking food and safe places to live, leveling up almost always required plundering crystal cores for absorption. The monsters evolved much faster than humans.

For humanity to evolve spontaneously without relying on crystal cores is virtually impossible.

The final form of the humanoid monsters outside the Black Domain is Level 6. If someone in the previous life had been able to stop or slow down their evolution in advance, humanity wouldn't have suffered such a crushing defeat later on.

Gu Mingyue could not stop the evolution of all humanoid monsters, but she was willing to fire the first shot and clean up the major monster lairs in Mingyue Base.

The snow fell heavier and heavier. The monsters patrolling outside the cave didn't like the cold temperature. The level two long-necked monster wrapped its three-meter-long neck around its body, its dark eyes lazily scanning the icy snow.

It never imagined that in this kind of weather, 'food' would come running to attack them.

On their way here, Gu Mingyue and Jiang Shenglin hid the tanks and weapons in their spatial storage, dodging the eyes of many level-three winged monsters. The team also split into several groups and slowly approached the monster's lair.

The level-three winged membranous monster sensed something amiss, but it wasn't as intelligent as a human. It simply led a few companions to attack the humanoid squad it had discovered.

The discovered team began to fight back, but they were no match for the level 3 winged membranous monster and were badly beaten, though they suffered few casualties.

Just as the humans and monsters were locked in a fierce battle, several loud explosions came from the humanoid monsters' lair.

The group of humanoid monsters turned around in surprise upon hearing the sound, and were then hit with fire oil bombs containing adhesive.

When the group saw the Level 3 Winged Membrane Monster flapping its wings but unable to extinguish the sparks no matter how hard it shook, they all relaxed and chuckled: "Haha, these monsters are really stupid."

"Come on, keep opening your mouth and eating me! I'll shove this kerosene bomb into your mouth and you can eat your fill!" one of the female team members said.

"Stop running! I haven't had enough fun yet!" Another male team member laughed and took out phosphorus bombs to chase and throw at the humanoid monster.

Gu Mingyue had these people deliberately exposed to distract the humanoid monster.

Afterwards, Gu Mingyue summoned her army of mutated golden hamsters. Each hamster was strapped with a time bomb. The monsters were very wary of humans, but not so much of the mutated animals.

These white and yellow mutated golden hamsters are small, fast, and their colors are not very noticeable in the snow.

One by one, the little creatures with four short legs ran very fast, crawled into the small holes at the edge of the cave, opened their titanium-alloy-like teeth, and began to dig.

Before digging through the wall, he threw the bomb from his buttocks in as soon as he got close, bit open the rope behind his buttocks, and ran away as fast as he could.

After more than a hundred golden hamsters returned intact, Gu Mingyue scattered nuts as a reward and immediately ordered them to be detonated.

The humanoid monsters had just begun to sacrifice themselves when they discovered that the entire monster lair was shaking violently.

Loud bangs came from all directions, and many humanoid monsters were crushed under the collapsed cave before they could react.

Some of the quick-reacting humanoid monsters managed to escape before the cave was destroyed. Looking up, they saw many brown tanks suddenly appearing on other mountain peaks, including dozens of inconspicuous white tanks that had been sprayed with white paint.
