The group had all skied back, and it was lunchtime.
"Oh, this one is faster."
"Of course not."
How tiring it was to go out in the morning, how relaxing it is to come back now.
Skiing really reduces a lot of trouble.
As soon as they left, someone reported this to the base's higher-ups.
Now even the higher-ups know that someone is practicing skiing.
Upon hearing about skiing, they also gave the base a great idea.
Once there is one, there will be two.
People who had skied out of the base also appeared later.
They were just not as well-equipped as Li Xiao and the others; they used some readily available materials.
As long as it's usable, the material doesn't matter.
For two consecutive days, Li Xiao and his group walked around the area near the base, exploring the entire surrounding area.
Third, they skied out of the base and headed towards the city.
Skiing is fast, but it also requires physical exertion.
They would skate for a while, then stop to rest before continuing.
There's no rush. We'll arrive whenever we can; there's no need to rush.
They sped along, the group of nine traveling in a relaxed and carefree manner.
Li Xiao kept looking at the map. Although it was frozen now, who knew what might be inside?
We didn't see any zombies along the way, not a single one.
I wonder if they froze to death.
Oh, no, that's not right.
Zombies are dead anyway.
It should be frozen solid now.
That's good too; the earth is all white and so clean.
Everything dirty was buried and disappeared. In that sense, this snow was actually quite good.
It took a little over an hour to reach the city center.
It seems to be even faster than driving.
"Whew, that feels so good."
Tian Tian stopped, still a little out of breath.
Qiu Fengyu stopped as well, also slightly out of breath.
"It's quite comfortable."
One by one, everyone stopped; they had arrived at their destination.
The situation here is no different from that at the base; it's an ice and snow city.
Unlike the base, the city center isn't full of high-rise buildings; there are still low-rise houses here, unlike the base's sci-fi feel.
Unlike the base, the city is covered in ice; here, it's mostly wind and snow.
Some single-story houses were buried under snow. With layers of snow piled up, the houses looked like white bags, or semi-circular yurts, which was quite cute.
"The zombies are all gone, it's so quiet."
"Wouldn't it be better if it were gone?" Xiao Peng glanced at Shao Jie.
"It's really good, there's no better than this."
Xiao Peng didn't reply; he didn't know if there would be any more zombies, so he couldn't give a proper answer.
The nine people glided slowly through the city, which was quiet, so quiet that there was not a sound.
Now, the city is like a sleeping maiden, quiet and beautiful.
"Should we take something back with us?" Li Xiao asked.
Cheng Shaolin looked at the surrounding buildings and replied, "Bring them, but there's no need to make a fuss. Bring them if you have them, otherwise it's fine."
"good."
Li Xiao would go in and collect things wherever it was convenient to enter, with clothes and wooden tables and chairs being her first choices.
Who knows when winter will end? It's good to prepare more firewood.
Li Xiao's complexion was not good. The longer she stayed outside, the more she saw.
The underground is frozen solid, and zombies are buried beneath it.
All the zombies lay quietly beneath the cold snow, as if asleep, without making a sound.
She looked around again, and among the tall and short buildings around her, there were basically no zombies still active.
Li Xiao chuckled. Who would have thought that the zombies would end up like this?
Life is unpredictable.
"Xiaoxiao, what's wrong? Look at your face..." Tian Tian was still by Li Xiao's side, while Cheng Shaolin was on the other side.
Li Xiao sighed softly: "It's nothing, just that the zombies are gone."
Tian Tian was taken aback, then her lips curled into a wide smile: "Isn't that good? They should all be dead."
Li Xiao looked at her for a few seconds before smiling gently: "Yes, that's true."
"What's wrong?" Cheng Shaolin asked, frowning.
Li Xiao sighed and said, "We can't even see the zombies anymore." She raised her chin and pointed to the ground in front of her. "Below, there are layers upon layers."
Shao Jie was watching his surroundings warily; too much quiet could easily make one feel uneasy.
"...A human pyramid?"
Everyone looked at Li Xiao, who nodded firmly in response.
"Whoa..."
With the biggest enemies now right under my feet, it's hard to say how I feel.
"We should be happy, why is everyone like this?"
Li Xiaowei turned to look at Tian Tian, "I should be happy, but I have a certain feeling."
"What?"
Li Xiao looked ahead and slowly said, "Faced with these harsh environments and disasters, everything is in vain. If they are like this, what about us? Where is the end?"
Standing on this street where the cold wind was howling, everyone felt that not only their faces but also their bodies were slowly getting colder.
"Don't be so pessimistic, maybe this is just how things are going to go."
Li Xiao looked at Cheng Shaolin, who patted her on the back. Feeling the touch on her back, Li Xiao felt inexplicably at peace.
It seems that as long as Cheng Shaolin is around, there's nothing to be afraid of.
And that's exactly right. Cheng Shaolin has always protected her, taken care of her, and was afraid that she would get hurt.
In the apocalypse, she was fortunate to have such a man who loved her so selflessly.
