Qin Bai had always been puzzled by the disappearance of the ice corpses; he wondered where they had gone.
But now, he has a guess, a very scary guess.
Those were the ice corpses, hiding inside the ice layer beneath the snow!
Once this is confirmed, things will become even more complicated.
After all, the land was frozen, covered in snow and ice, and through the frozen corpse in front of him, he even realized something.
That is, the ice corpse seems to be able to move inside the ice, but it seems to move very slowly.
Otherwise, why didn't anyone see the ice corpse when the ice cave was dug out, and why did it only appear at midnight?
This indicates that the ice corpse is moving, which is why it appeared here.
Sure enough, the ice corpse struggled out of the ice block little by little, and its exposed skin was covered with a layer of ice.
Once it fully appeared, Qin Bai went up and delivered a single, instant kill with a single strike.
The reason we waited for it to come out was so that we could take its body out. Otherwise, with half of its body still on the wall, how would those people sleep?
Qin Bai looked at the other walls again, and after confirming that no new ice corpses had appeared, he dragged the ice corpse out.
When those people saw that Qin Bai actually appeared with the corpse of the Ice Corpse, they were all shocked.
"Brother Qin, where did this ice corpse come from? Aren't they saying there are ghosts? Is this the thing?"
Wu Ming was puzzled. If the frozen corpse was inside, how could these people have escaped so safely?
Qin Bai thought about it and decided to tell the truth, since this matter could not be hidden any longer.
Sometimes, hiding things can make people wonder if there's something you're hiding.
When Qin Bai said it, everyone present was stunned.
No one could have imagined that the ice corpse had been hiding under the snow all along.
"No wonder all the ice corpses disappeared after that day, leaving only a few outside. It turns out they were hiding underneath."
Wu Ming said.
“I remember now, when we were dealing with the ice wolves last time, it seemed like those ice corpses came out of the ground.”
Qi Zhenlong clapped his hands and remembered.
A group of people began to discuss it, because if this were true, it would not be good news for humanity.
"Alright, everyone go back and rest. Ice corpses can't be everywhere, especially not in this place. What happened just now was probably just an accident."
"Besides, we've killed ice corpses before. As long as we're careful, it's not a problem. It takes some time for an ice corpse to come out of the ice."
Upon hearing Qin Bai's words, those people immediately calmed down.
Just like the boss said, they are all people who have killed ice corpses.
Upon returning, Wu Ming spoke first: "So, all the ice corpses in the city are hidden under the ice. The thought of so many ice corpses right under our feet is terrifying."
Wu Ming felt a chill run down his spine when he recalled this incident.
Fortunately, this is a desolate wilderness with few living people, let alone ice corpses.
“The ice corpses are indeed a problem, but according to Brother Qin, they move very slowly on the ice, even slower than we can move forward, so we shouldn’t worry about them for now.”
Zeng Qiangguo said.
"However, the person on night watch should still be careful and inform the other people in the ice cave about this."
That night, no second frozen corpse was found.
The next day, as they recalled what had happened the night before, they were all somewhat frightened, and some of them kept glancing at the ice on the ground.
They felt like they were surrounded by frozen corpses.
"Brother Qin, if we keep going, we'll get close to a town. There should be quite a few people there, but there should also be quite a few ice corpses. Should we go over there?"
Zeng Qiangguo, holding the map, asked Qin Bai.
Choosing to enter the town guarantees a place to sleep at night, but once the ice corpses hidden under the ice emerge, a major battle will ensue.
But if they don't go inside, they'll have to sleep in the ice cave, just like they did tonight.
Qin Bai looked back at the condition of those people, and they were not in good condition. After all, sleeping in an ice cave was not a pleasant experience.
Just as Qin Bai was about to speak, Qi Zhenlong rushed over.
"Oh no, several people have a fever."
Having a fever at this time is not a good thing. Qin Bai guessed that it was because some people's bodies couldn't withstand sleeping in the ice cave last night.
"Give them some medicine first, to help them hold on, the team can't stop."
The sooner Qin Bai enters the shelter, the sooner he can learn about the situation there.
He was very concerned about the current situation at the shelter.
However, the fever also brought other side effects such as general weakness, and soon these people could only lie on the small carts storing supplies and be pulled along.
On this journey, they encountered several groups of people; it seemed that the closer they got to the shelter, the more people there were.
However, when those people saw that Qin Bai's team had over a hundred people, they were all worried that their supplies would be stolen, and no one was willing to make contact with them.
But Qin Bai knew one thing: intelligence was crucial no matter where you were.
He sent Wu Ming over to gather some information from these people.
Of course, talking is also hard work, so having Wu Ming bring some snacks is no problem.
Those people were incredibly generous, wanting to say as much as possible and give as much as they could.
Although most of the information he obtained was ordinary, some of it did surprise Qin Bai.
Those people came from different places; they had all heard about the shelter.
Strangely, despite the fact that there should have been many people going, they hardly saw any people going to the shelter along the way.
It wasn't until they got here that they saw some other people, among whom Qin Bai's group was the largest.
Qin Bai frowned. Many people from his neighborhood had gone to the shelter. At their speed, they should have arrived long ago. Why was there no one there?
“I also asked them if they encountered any dangers on the way, and they said the biggest dangers were low temperatures and food, and they didn’t encounter any frozen corpses.”
Wu Ming thought for a moment and added, "They seem unaware of the existence of the Ice Wolves."
This is not surprising. If someone encounters an ice wolf, unless they are a superhuman, the only outcome is death.
Ordinary people are no match for ice wolves, and they can't even handle ice corpses.
"There's no use thinking about it so much. We'll just go to the shelter and find out."
The group set off again, and the closer they got to the shelter, the more their paths became the same, inevitably resulting in a group of people walking one after the other.
However, each team will maintain a certain distance from other teams, and no one will make any rash contact with others at this time.
After all, they had already witnessed the darkness of humanity in the month following the apocalypse.
