Qin Bai's eyes sharpened instantly, and he drew his broadsword from behind him.
Wu Ming and Zeng Qiangguo also drew their weapons and looked in the direction from which the screams came from.
"Those people over there... don't seem to be ours."
Zeng Qiangguo looked at it carefully and then showed a puzzled expression.
The sound was indeed very loud, but it was still some distance away from them. Their people were busy carrying food and didn't go over there at all.
"Whether they are our people or not, we have to go and check. If it's an ice corpse, we must take care of it."
Ice corpses are very easy to infect others, and if there are too many ice corpses, they will also be a threat to them.
"What, an ice corpse? What is that?"
Qi Zhenlong exclaimed in surprise.
Wu Ming was immediately puzzled and asked him, "You don't know about the Ice Corpse?"
"I have no idea, what is an ice corpse? Is it a zombie? These things are popping up everywhere, is the world going to end?"
Qi Zhenlong was very shocked.
"Wait, when did you come in?"
Qin Bai realized this crucial question.
"I was trapped here by the heavy snow. At first, many people fought over food, so I hid by myself..."
According to Qi Zhenlong, he had not seen any ice corpses, but there was one thing that concerned him.
“I remember that day I went out to get something to eat, and then I saw that the corpses that were originally everywhere were all gone. I was terrified. I thought those corpses had come back to life.”
"Later, I found that there was nothing else going on, and then other people showed up, so I simply took over the place and let them take whatever they wanted outside."
Qin Bai suddenly realized that if he wasn't mistaken, the corpses disappeared because they had all become ice corpses.
Qin Bai didn't know why those ice corpses hadn't caused trouble for Qi Zhenlong.
Perhaps they prefer places with lots of people, but Qi Zhenlong was alone, so they didn't care.
From this perspective, the ice corpse also has an instinct: it will choose places with many people.
Seeing that Qi Zhenlong didn't know what an ice corpse was, Wu Ming explained, "An ice corpse is a corpse that has turned into ice after a person dies. They can move on their own, can hurt people, and their bodies are covered with a layer of ice. This ice is different from ordinary ice; it has very strong defensive capabilities..."
Qi Zhenlong let out a low gasp from time to time. He hadn't expected the ice corpses to be even more powerful than the zombies; the ice layer alone could block out many people.
"My arrows don't seem to be very effective against the ice corpse, do they?"
Qi Zhenlong looked at the bow and arrow in his hand with some suspicion.
"Ordinary bows and arrows may not work, but other types of bows and arrows may appear in the future."
Qin Bai's words were loaded with meaning.
After seeing the shoes, which were of the Black Iron grade, Qin Bai sensed that something had changed in the world, and that this change was gradually expanding.
They quickly arrived at the source of the screams and saw a person lying on the ground.
This person was covered in frost and was turning into an ice corpse.
Qi Zhenlong glanced at it and exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Wu, is this the process you described of an injured person turning into a frozen corpse? It looks like it's been frozen in a refrigerator."
"He's beyond saving. Once he becomes an ice corpse, just chop off his head."
Wu Ming nodded.
Qin Bai looked around. This person was injured by the ice corpse, which meant that there was an ice corpse here. But where did this ice corpse go?
Wu Ming and Zeng Qiangguo also thought of this problem. They shone their flashlights around, but found nothing.
"Strange, when did the ice corpses become so intelligent? Aren't they easy to catch?"
Zeng Qiangguo muttered to himself, puzzled.
Just then, Qin Bai seemed to see something.
He walked over quickly and stood in front of something.
It was a white ball of light, emitting a soft glow. Strangely, this light could only be seen within a few meters of the surrounding area; anything beyond that was invisible.
After Qin Bai discovered it, the others naturally noticed it as well.
They walked over and stared in disbelief at the white ball of light.
"What...what is this?"
Wu Ming's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. He had always thought of himself as a materialist, but the appearance of the ice corpse made him realize that the world was no longer the same as before.
But the ball of light before them was even more unbelievable than the frozen corpse.
"Could this be the work of aliens?"
Zeng Qiangguo was completely dumbfounded.
Qi Zhenlong excitedly exclaimed, "I understand! It's like a treasure chest in a game; once you open it, good stuff will appear inside!"
As expected of a high school student, their way of thinking is different from the others.
Ultimately, their attention all turned to Qin Bai. How to deal with the ball of light would depend on Qin Bai's actions.
Qin Bai was also considering how to deal with this ball of light—whether to make direct contact with it or to store it in his own space.
His gaze inadvertently swept over the shoes on his feet.
A thought suddenly popped into my head: Could it be that the equipment comes from the orb of light?
Thinking of this, Qin Bai decided to give it a try. Even if something happened to the ball of light, he could put it into his own space in an instant.
Safety is guaranteed.
"You guys step back a bit, let me try."
Qin Bai said.
The three of them immediately retreated a distance, and then they found that the ball of light had disappeared. When they got a little closer, the ball of light reappeared.
"This thing is so strange, it's definitely not from Earth."
Zeng Qiangguo affirmed.
"I feel like this is a very turbulent time, with things I don't understand everywhere."
Wu Ming's expression was somewhat complicated.
Only Qi Zhenlong looked at Qin Bai with excitement, waiting for the result.
Finally, Qin Bai reached out and touched the ball of light.
The ball of light emitted a blinding light in an instant, and Qin Bai subconsciously prepared to put it into his spatial storage. Then he found that the ball of light had disappeared.
Instead, there was a piece in my hand...
Stone?
The stone looks angular and doesn't appear to be naturally formed; it looks like a man-made stone.
The red color of the stone gives people a warm feeling.
At the same time, information about the stone appeared in Qin Bai's mind in an instant.
Red Obsidian
[Black Iron Grade Enchantment Stone]
[It can be fused with any melee weapon, transforming it into a Black Iron-grade weapon with fire attributes.]
Qin Bai held the obsidian stone, looked at the large sword in his hand, thought for a moment, and then placed the stone on it.
In an instant, the obsidian turned into a red light and merged into the greatsword.
Subsequently, the broadsword underwent some changes. First, some red patterns appeared on the blade, making the broadsword look more imposing.
