The brother and sister worked all day to clear the snow at the door to make a walkable path. Looking at the snow that was above their waists, they didn't know when it would melt.
"Sis, have we been staying at home all this time?"
"No, let's go to the back mountain and pretend to chop some firewood. Otherwise, everyone will know that we have valuables at home. It will be troublesome if they target us. When the snow melts, it will be time for us to leave. We should be patient and stay alive until the end."
Listening to his sister's words, Nan Haochen felt that his sister was thinking ahead. Sometimes he was grateful that if it weren't for his sister, he might have died long ago.
Meanwhile, the seven-person team next door, after experiencing three days of extreme cold, had burned almost all the flammable furniture in their house. After the heavy snow stopped, they started going out to find things to start a fire, the more the better. After all, they had been enjoying extremely hot weather for almost half a year, and they didn't expect this extreme cold to pass anytime soon, so it was better to prepare early in order to survive.
However, when this extreme cold arrived, all the classmates He Ming had abandoned went to meet their demise, proving that laziness never ends well.
Villa No. 8.
"Boss, the snow at the door has been cleared. What are your plans for next?"
After Zhan Siyu used his mental energy to survey the nearby survivors, he discovered that there were quite a few survivors here, especially in Villa No. 11, which was clearly specially modified and was exceptionally sturdy. This piqued his curiosity, but he dared not venture out to investigate.
"I'll go out and find some trees nearby that we can burn. Everyone else needs to make fires for warmth, so we can't be the exception." Of course, he still wanted to go out and try his luck to see if he could meet that psychic.
"Okay, but the snow is so heavy that we can only look for it nearby. We can't walk far."
"Well, just some activities in the community."
Then Nan Xiangwan discovered that many survivors had suddenly emerged from the neighborhood looking for fuel.
"Sister, we're wearing too many layers. The snow is so deep, we have to clear it all the way. I'm exhausted."
Upon hearing her younger brother's words and looking at the snow in front of her, Nan Xiangwan suddenly said, "I'll try to melt the snow with my water-based abilities, but the ground might be covered in ice by then."
"Can you use water abilities like this? But ice is better than not being able to walk. We're all wearing non-slip shoes anyway, so don't worry. I'm rooting for you, sister. Let's get started."
Nan Xiangwan removed one of his gloves and released a stream of water, but since it was only a first-tier ability, it was like a child urinating, which was rather useless.
Nan Haochen originally thought that his sister could release water over a large area, but when he saw the water column that looked like a child's urine, he was dumbfounded. He wondered when the water would melt to create a path.
"Sister, please don't release the water. I'm going to freeze to death by the time you clear the way out. Can we wait until the snow melts before going out? I really can't walk."
Nan Xiangwan withdrew his superpower and sighed helplessly, thinking that he still had to hurry up and upgrade his superpower. This level of superpower was really useless.
Then he said, "Let's go home and talk about it tomorrow. But we still have to make a show of cutting down the big banyan tree at the door."
Nan Haochen looked at the big banyan tree in front of his house and felt reluctant to leave. This was planted by his parents when they were alive. But when he thought that it was the end of the world and they could no longer live here, he didn't feel so sad anymore.
"Sis, do you need a chainsaw for cutting?"
"No, let's chop with axes. It'll be a good opportunity to practice our arm strength. Remember, there's a mentalist at Villa No. 8, so let's keep a low profile."
"Oh, I almost forgot. Let's cut it down quickly and then go back to eat."
In fact, Nan Xiangwan was cautious because she was afraid that others would peek into her house.
However, after Zhan Siyu visited other people's homes, he didn't visit theirs. He was afraid of being attacked by mental energy and reacting negatively. After all, he didn't dare to act rashly before he knew their strength. So, without knowing the situation, the two of them tacitly remained still.
Zhan Siyu sometimes thought that just because he himself was a reborn person, it didn’t mean that other people wouldn’t have adventures.
After all, many things in this life are somewhat different from the previous life.
Nan Xiangwan and her younger brother were painstakingly chopping down the big tree. They chopped for half an hour before it finally fell. Then, they laboriously carried the tree into the yard. Just as they were about to close their front gate, Liang Xuzhe from villa number 10 walked over.
"Miss Nan, excuse me, could you please lend me your axe for chopping trees? We also want to chop down the tree at the door for a fire, but we don't have the tools."
Nan Xiangwan glanced at the tree in front of their door and then said calmly, "Brother, hand him the axe."
Upon hearing his sister's words, Nan Haochen turned around and handed her the two axes he had just used.
After Liang Xuzhe took the axe, he quickly thanked him and went back to chop down the tree.
Of course, everything that happened on their side was seen by Zhan Siyu who was standing on the roof.
"Boss, what are you looking at?"
"Look at Villa 11. Don't you notice how unique the renovation is? It's like they knew the end of the world was coming. Otherwise, who would renovate a house like a prison?"
Mozi heard his boss's words and looked towards Villa No. 11. Apart from the basic layout, he couldn't see anything inside.
"Boss, this family is really interesting. They installed one-way vision glass. Most people wouldn't install it like this. Do you think the person that night was one of those siblings?"
"It's hard to say, but I've looked around the neighborhood and their family seems to be the best off, just like us. If I'm not mistaken, one of them must be a space ability user."
"Um... Boss, didn't you say that spatial and mental abilities are rare? How come we've suddenly encountered both? It feels like they were specially prepared for us."
Zhan Siyu listened to Mo Zi's words and seemed to be thinking about something. Logically speaking, except for him who was reborn with super powers, the abilities of others should have been activated after the bloody rain, but these two gave him the feeling that they were not novices at all, but veterans.
"Find an opportunity to get in touch with them. If they're decent people, try to recruit them."
"Yeah, I think so."
"Alright, they've already cut down trees on the other side, we can't fall behind. You and Haozi go cut down a tree to make it look like we're doing it."
"Okay, I'll go now."
At this time, Nan Xiangwan didn't know that they had been targeted by the big boss, and was eating the hot pot heartlessly.
"Sis, this self-heating hot pot is so convenient. I wish I had bought more back then."
Nan Xiangwan swallowed the food in her mouth and said, "Don't worry. What we bought is enough to last us for a long time. We can just collect some more when we go north."
"Oh, I'm afraid they'll all be snatched up by then. I really want to go to the hot pot factory."
"Oh, it's not impossible. It depends on whether your lightning ability can be upgraded quickly. If it can be upgraded to level three, I'll take you on a trip. Otherwise, you'd better behave yourself. The zombie swarm is not to be trifled with."
After hearing what his sister said, Nan Haochen felt uncomfortable all over whenever he thought about falling into a zombie den. He thought it would be better not to seek death, since he had enough food anyway. He didn't want to be a hero, after all, no one would give him a medal, so he should leave those zombies to others.
