As soon as it got light, they set off, and based on the estimated time, they should be able to return to the shelter today.
Upon arriving at the town closest to the shelter, they were surprised to find that there were already some people there.
After asking around, I learned that they had all come here after hearing Qin Bai's broadcast.
However, not everyone can successfully reach this place. Along the way, not only are the ice corpses a threat, but the human heart is even more terrifying.
When they finally arrived at the shelter, Qin Bai found that there were some unfamiliar faces there.
It seems that in the few days he was away, others had already joined the shelter.
No, this place is no longer called a refuge, but a paradise!
Once you choose to enter this place, you must obey the orders of Peach Blossom Spring!
"Greetings, Chief!"
As Qin Bai led his men inside, some of the people inside suddenly called out to him respectfully.
"You know me?"
Qin Bai found it somewhat strange.
He doesn't even know these people, so how do they know he's the leader?
A shrewd-looking man approached and explained, “Chief, the ministers have shown us all your photo. Our first requirement after joining is that we must remember what you look like.”
Qin Bai chuckled. He guessed that Gu Lang, Wu Ming, and the others must have done this. Apart from them, probably no one else would be so free as to do such a thing.
"You two settle them in. Lü Siqin and Luluo, you two come with me."
Qin Bai led the two women directly towards an area accessible only to a select few. This area, originally a military-controlled shelter, had now become a paradise.
Because there are ice trees in that place.
To this day, only the earliest group of people know about the Ice Tree; others are unaware of its existence.
After all, for ordinary people, if they knew that there was such a huge monster as the Ice Tree in their shelter, they would probably be unable to eat or sleep.
No matter how they explained that the Ice Tree wouldn't attack them, no one would believe them.
At that time, it will bring no benefit other than causing some unnecessary disputes.
When the two arrived at the shelter, they were stunned by its enormous size.
How was such a large place built?
But when they saw the existence of the ice tree, they were even more dumbfounded.
"What...what is that?"
Lü Siqin tugged at Qin Bai's clothes and hurriedly asked.
Qin Bai glanced at it and casually said, "That's an ice tree. Her name is Bingxue. You can talk to her later if you have the chance. As long as you don't attack her, she won't do anything."
"An ice tree? It looks like a plant, but it's made entirely of ice. That's really amazing."
The green ivy looked at the ice tree with curiosity.
Ice Tree seemed to notice Qin Bai's return and took the initiative to let a female corpse land and walk in front of him.
"You're back? Are these two your new companions?"
"Yes, they are all the future elites of Peach Blossom Spring. You should have many opportunities to interact with them in the future."
Bingxue looked at the two of them and smiled slightly: "Hello, I am Bingxue."
"Hello...
Even Green Ivy was a little nervous, after all, they had witnessed the woman's corpse fall from the tree, then get up on its own and talk to them.
Qin Bai didn't linger. He then led the two to a place that only core members of Peach Blossom Spring could visit. There were many confidential items and a conference room there.
As soon as he entered, Qin Bai saw several people discussing something.
"The leader is back!"
Upon seeing Qin Bai, Gu Lang immediately greeted him with a smile.
"Old Gu, you're the one who calls me 'leader,' aren't you?"
Qin Bai went up and punched Gu Lang in the shoulder, making him wince in pain.
"Of course, only Brother Qin is qualified to be the leader of our Peach Blossom Spring, but he was the first one to be proposed."
Wu Ming nodded and said.
After speaking for a while, Gu Lang asked, "Chief, who are these two...?"
"Oh, I almost forgot to introduce them to you. This is Lü Siqin, and this is Green Ivy. From now on, they will be the core members of our Peach Blossom Spring."
Hearing that Qin Bai had actually designated two newcomers as potential core members surprised everyone else.
It should be noted that they had already agreed that to join the core members, one not only needed the consent of all of them, but also had to make some contributions.
The two of them have now completed half of the task. All that is needed is Qin Bai's approval, and then the others will naturally agree. No one will doubt Qin Bai's judgment.
It was all thanks to Qin Bai that these people were able to gather together.
After both sides had gotten to know each other, Qin Bai sat at the head of the table and asked them, "What's been going on these past few days? And how is Taoyuan developing?"
All eyes turned to Gu Lang, who then took out some documents and said, "Chief, these past few days we've managed to establish some contact with other places through the military equipment at the shelter, but..."
"The situation isn't very good. Although the signal is intermittent, it still lets us know some things about the outside world."
From Lone Wolf, Qin Bai learned about the general situation of the world.
That is, not all places are covered in ice and snow. In some places, the temperature is normal, but various different corpse monsters such as charred corpses, poisonous corpses, and rotting corpses have appeared.
Actually, ice corpses are a fairly common type.
It seems that the different environments lead to different monsters being born.
In icy and snowy areas, the corpses are called "ice corpses"; in normal temperatures, they are called "charred corpses"; and in cases of "poisonous corpses," the air in that area carries a faint toxic fumes, requiring people to wear thick masks in their daily lives.
As for rotting corpses, they are even more terrifying. The air is filled with a nauseating stench, and anyone who sees a rotting corpse will feel like vomiting.
This surprised Qin Bai. He thought the whole world was covered in ice and snow, but it turned out that it wasn't.
"Chief, the world did indeed enter an ice age at the beginning, but in the middle, some places changed and different monsters appeared. There is no explanation for this situation yet."
Qin Bai nodded.
He had never seen or known any other monsters, but he knew about charred corpses.
If it weren't for the fact that he changed the past, there would definitely be charred corpses in this area as well.
Is there anything else?
"Currently, all the resources in the country are focused on those monsters. In addition to the cities, there are even more monsters appearing in the wild, and those are all animals."
Speaking of monsters transformed from animals, Qin Bai immediately thought of the ice wolves that had appeared before. They had ice on their bodies, but they were still alive, completely different from ice corpses.
