When Nan Xiangwan woke up, the outside world was already covered in a blanket of snow.
While eating instant noodles, Nan Haochen looked at the scenery outside, and he even wanted to go out and build a snowman.
"Brother, why did you get up so early this morning?"
Nan Haochen swallowed the instant noodles in his mouth and said, "Sister, look, the snow is almost up to our buttocks. I'm wondering if the house will be flooded if it continues like this."
"No, it will probably stop soon. But we really need to go out and clear the snow from the door, otherwise we won't be able to get out of the house."
"Ah? But it's so cold outside. I've never seen such heavy snow and such cold weather in my life."
"Wear more clothes. I'll go upstairs to check on the situation first. You go ahead and eat."
Nan Xiangwan put on a thick cotton coat and went to the rooftop. She released her mental power and observed the situation next door. She found that the seven of them were quite smart. Not only did they find the cotton coats and quilts, they also knew how to make a fire to keep warm. Then she withdrew her mental power and looked at the situation nearby.
Until she discovered the anomaly at Villa No. 8, driven by curiosity, she released her spiritual power to explore it without a second thought.
At this moment, Zhan Siyu, who was sitting on the sofa reading a book, suddenly sensed someone's prying and directly released his mental power to fight back.
"ah..."
Nan Xiangwan was hit by a sudden mental force and rebounded, causing her a terrible headache. It took her a long time to recover.
Inwardly, he was thinking, when did a psychic master show up here? This psychic power was obviously higher in rank than his own. If it weren't for his quick reaction, he would have become an idiot, buying and selling things. If she knew who it was, she would definitely beat the hell out of him.
Nan Haochen rushed over after hearing his sister's scream. Seeing her lying on the ground, he helped her up and asked anxiously, "Sis, what happened to you?"
Nan Xiangwan rubbed her temples and said, "It's okay. Help me downstairs first. It's too cold upstairs."
"Oh, okay."
After Zhan Siyu rebounded Nan Xiangwan's mental power, he pondered. Are all psychic-type psychics this powerful these days? If he hadn't been vigilant, he would have been completely discovered. He immediately said to Haozi and Mozi, "There's a psychic-type psychic expert nearby. We need to be more careful from now on. Don't expose anything we don't need. Whether they're friend or foe remains to be seen."
When Bei Minghao heard that there were experts with superpowers, he excitedly asked, "Boss, who among you is the strongest?"
"Of course it's me, but the other party is not bad either. If I could go out right now, I'd really like to see who it is. If he's a good person, we can recruit him. After all, psychic-type psychics are rare."
"To be recognized by the boss, it seems that I do have some ability. But now I can only wait. I don't know when this heavy snow will stop. Fortunately, the boss was wise enough to leave last night, otherwise I would really be quarantined and unable to leave."
"Alright, I'll get the exercise equipment out. You should exercise more when you have free time, so you don't gain weight during this winter break, or you'll really be zombie food when you go out."
"Well, we all listen to the boss. It's good to exercise. Otherwise, lying down all day will make you lazy, and then the zombies won't be able to outrun you."
"That's the right way to think. Once this awful weather passes, the zombies will level up and become even stronger, so we must not slack off. We also need to practice our abilities every day. Although it's slower to cultivate without crystal cores, we still can't relax."
"Yeah, we got it."
While Zhan Siyu was exercising with his brothers, Nan Xiangwan looked grim.
She lay on the bed, her face pale, enduring the pain of upgrading her superpower. That's right, the collision of mental energy had turned out to be a blessing in disguise, loosening her superpower. After returning to the room and discovering this, she endured the needle-like pain and finally broke through from the second stage to the third stage.
After the upgrade, Nan Xiangwan felt that her ears and eyes were clearer, and she was overjoyed, never expecting it could be done like this.
"Sister, are you feeling better?"
Nan Xiangwan stood up and looked at her worried younger brother, saying happily, "Sister's mental abilities have leveled up again, and even the bottlenecks in her other abilities have loosened a bit. I'm sure she'll be able to advance to the second level soon. Little brother, you'd better work hard!"
"I'm glad you're okay, but what happened upstairs just now, sister?"
Nan Xiangwan heard her brother's question and said seriously, "There's a newcomer in Villa No. 8 across the street. His mental power is stronger than mine. I wanted to detect him, but his mental power bounced back, so I was knocked to the ground."
Upon hearing his sister's answer, Nan Haochen asked with some concern, "Then we won't be safe, will we?"
"It's alright, with your sister here, we can deal with whatever comes our way. Anyway, no one can leave the house now. Come on, let's go to the space to cultivate. It seems we still need to improve our strength, otherwise if we really encounter a tough character, we'll be in trouble."
"Okay, I will practice hard to protect my sister."
Nan Haochen felt that as a man, he had to protect his sister, so he diligently practiced ancient martial arts and superpowers every day. Nan Xiangwan saw this and felt heartbroken, but she couldn't stop him. In the apocalypse, only by becoming strong could one better protect oneself, and she felt the same way.
As the snow continued to fall, the sun finally came out three days later, but it seemed as if the sun was blocked by something. There was only light but no temperature.
Early that morning, many of the residents of the villa came out to clear the snow from their doorways. Nan Xiangwan and Nan Haochen were no exception. The siblings were wearing thick down jackets and were fully armed from head to toe, except for their eyes, which were completely covered.
"Sis, winter is worse than summer. We're wearing so many clothes that we walk like bears and can't even hold a shovel properly."
"Stop complaining. This heavy snow has its benefits. At least many people won't die of thirst."
"What? Is that what I mean?"
"Yes, just like you think. We can boil the melted snow and drink it, which is better than not having water in the summer. As for heating, we have so many trees behind us that we can burn them all winter. So as long as we have food, it's easier to survive than in the summer."
"Indeed, but it would be difficult without cotton clothes. It's so cold, I don't know how many people will freeze to death."
Hearing her brother's words, Nan Xiangwan thought to herself that quite a few people had indeed frozen to death. Moreover, once the snow melted, those who had frozen to death would immediately turn into zombies, which would also mark the beginning of a major zombie outbreak. It would also be the time to harvest crystal cores, making it much easier to upgrade one's abilities. In particular, many people did not know that zombies had crystal cores in their brains in the early stages, and those were all treasures. Everyone would collect as many as they could. Once all the ability users knew about them, they would be much harder to find.
