Chapter 87 Snow



Every survivor moved into a room. They looked for bedding left behind by the original residents of the community, and combined with the bedding they had brought with them, every household had enough bedding to get through the night.

So even though the temperature dropped sharply, there were surprisingly no zombie harassment tonight and everyone was able to sleep well.

It was not until I woke up the next day that I realized it had started snowing outside and the ground was covered with a thin layer of white.

"We are in a subtropical area. I have never seen such heavy snow in my life. The temperature must be at least minus ten degrees Celsius," complained a survivor.

City A and City B are located in a relatively hot area on the Blue Water Planet. The coldest weather each year is only minus 1 or 2 degrees Celsius. Only in very rare years will there be rain and snow, and the light snow will melt soon after it hits the ground. It is impossible for snow to accumulate.

Seeing the snow still falling outside, everyone felt that their winter clothes were too thin.

Captain Pei knocked on the door of the Wen Yubai sisters next door and saw that the two sisters were wearing thick black jackets. He was puzzled as to how they could carry all kinds of supplies in their backpacks which didn't look big, and how they even brought such heavy jackets.

He did not forget his purpose and asked, "Are you two cold? Do you need me to bring you two cotton coats?"

"No need. Our clothes are warm enough." Wen Yubai knew that they didn't have enough cold-proof clothes, so he naturally didn't want to take up their resources, because that would mean two soldiers would most likely suffer from the cold.

"It's still snowing outside. Should we continue our journey today?" Wen Yubai asked.

They have been traveling non-stop these past few days, and now the coastline is two or three hundred kilometers away from them, so there is no rush to slow down a bit.

"Although it's only snowing lightly outside, most of the survivors are not used to this kind of weather. We decided to take a day off today and make a decision based on the situation tomorrow."

"Then are you free today? Let's talk about Colonel Fu..." Wen Yubai asked.

Yesterday the military doctor said that Colonel Fu’s wounds were healing well and he could be fitted with a prosthesis.

Wen Yubai had originally planned to do it during his evening rest period. It would only take an hour or so to finish it anyway, but since he was resting today, he could adjust more calmly.

In the past few days, she has been fusing various metals in front of Captain Pei and Captain Fu. Finally, she has forged an alloy that is very hard. Even a one-centimeter-thick alloy plate cannot be broken by bullets, but its weight is only half that of iron.

After being tempered into a sword, it was only half the weight of an ordinary sword, but much sharper than an ordinary sword. Needless to say, Wen Yubai gave this sword to his cousin.

Captain Pei and Captain Fu were amazed to see that Wen Yubai was able to refine this alloy.

There was also a Level 0 Gold-type Psychic in the 123rd Army, and Captain Fu recruited him to learn from Wen Yubai. Wen Yubai did not want to keep his ideas to himself, and tried his best to tell the soldier his ideas.

But the problem is that this is the understanding that Wen Yubai gained after becoming a fourth-level metal mutant, and a little zero-level person cannot understand it.

As a result, the soldier listened to Wen Yubai talking about a lot of chemical molecular formulas, how to break down the metal molecules in it to synthesize another alloy, and said to Captain Pei and Captain Fu with a bitter face: "Captain, Captain, I don't understand what Miss Wen is saying."

The two officers were speechless because they didn't understand either.

Wen Yubai smiled and said, "This sergeant's level is still too low. Maybe he will understand it himself when he is promoted. I didn't think of these things when I was level zero. If you have any questions in the future, you can discuss them with me."

“Then you should learn more. If you have questions when you have time, you can ask Miss Wen, but don’t take up too much of her time.” Captain Pei said finally.

"Educated people can excel in any field," Captain Fu exclaimed.

"Not necessarily. You have to be smart, have ideas and work hard." Captain Pei looked at Wen Yubai and said.

Finally, Wen Yubai refined an alloy, and after being made into a prosthetic limb, the weight was almost the same as a real limb. However, this alloy consumed a lot of iron, and the ratio of iron to other metals was 5:1.

However, to make a prosthetic limb, the amount of alloy required is not as much as that of a sword. Besides, in today's world, there is a lot of unwanted scrap metal everywhere, so it is not a waste of resources.

When Captain Pei heard Wen Yubai mention Colonel Fu, he immediately understood what she meant by using her free time to help Colonel Fu fix his prosthesis.

"I'll go discuss the time with him first, but I'll have to trouble you today." Captain Pei said.

Less than 20 minutes after Captain Pei left, he came upstairs and knocked on the sisters' door. Colonel Fu lived on the second floor, and the Wen Yubai sisters lived on the third floor, so they went up and down very quickly.

"Colonel Fu is ready. Xiaowen, are you ready to go?" Captain Pei asked while standing at the door.

Except when he was working as a porter, whenever Captain Pei wanted to talk to Wen Yubai about something, he would always stand outside the door and talk to him politely.

"Okay." Wen Yubai stood up and walked towards the door.

Seeing that she was walking a little stiffly, Captain Pei immediately walked towards her: "I'll carry you over."

Maybe he has become accustomed to being a porter in the past few days and his movements are very natural.

Because Captain Pei moved so quickly, Wen Yubai was picked up by him before she could refuse. She hurriedly said:

"No, my legs are fine. I can walk to Colonel Fu by myself. I've been bored these past few days. I want to walk by myself."

Hearing her say this, Captain Pei gently put her down and said, "If you feel uncomfortable, just tell me."

"Ok." Wen Yubai said as he walked out.

After drinking the healing potion yesterday, her injuries had completely healed, but for the sake of her vest, she still pretended that her injuries had not fully healed, so she walked stiffly and slowly.

Captain Pei walked beside Wen Yubai, patiently accompanying her as she walked slowly.

Ever since Wen Yubai was shot and went to Captain Pei's car, she hasn't seen Colonel Fu for several days.

Captain Pei always settled Colonel Fu first, then went back to pick up Wen Yubai. Both of them had injured legs and couldn't walk around, so sometimes they couldn't see each other even if they lived next door.

Colonel Fu still had the calm and self-contained temperament of a Confucian general, but when he saw the alloy blocks in the hands of Wen Yubai and Captain Pei, his eyes lit up slightly.

"I'm sorry to trouble you, Xiaowen, later." He said politely.

"You're welcome." Wen Yubai also said politely.

She didn't feel too reserved with Captain Pei and the others, but she was somewhat reserved with Colonel Fu. After all, no matter what his status was, he was still an elder.

For this reason, when Captain Pei lifted up Colonel Fu's trouser leg and exposed his injured calf in front of her, Colonel Fu remained calm, but Wen Yubai felt a little embarrassed.

However, Colonel Fu's condition was much better than Wen Yubai had expected, because what was broken was the lower half of his calf, so there was no problem with his knee, and as long as he was fitted with a suitable prosthesis, it would not affect his walking.
