Wei Jiankang had eaten several pounds of dog meat again, and his body had once more returned to a state reminiscent of his twenties. Xu Lixing had also come back after taking a shower; he looked somewhat dazed, in poor spirits, and slightly emaciated.
However, his appetite was excellent, as he devoured several pounds of Mutated Dog meat in one go. His digestion and absorption abilities, while far inferior to Wei Jiankang's, were still better than those of Shen Yuan and Chen Letian.
After eating and drinking to his fill, Xu Lixing curled up in a corner to sleep.
He was truly exhausted, feeling very weak and in need of proper rest.
Shen Yuan exchanged glances with Chen Letian and handed him the mutated Shovel. Chen Letian ran over to sit beside Xu Lixing and took out a Semi-Automatic Pistol to examine.
After thinking for a moment, Shen Yuan took out the handguns that Chen Letian had picked up and gave two to Zhang Huanxue, two to Wei Jiankang, and left two for Xu Lixing. Finally, he handed the two activated Semi-Automatic Pistols to Chi Qinghua.
Next, he pulled out the magazines from his body and distributed one magazine to each person.
If Zhang Chenggong dared to give his subordinates firearms and ammunition, what was there for Shen Yuan to be afraid of?
Whether it was Chen Letian, Xu Lixing, Zhang Huanxue, or Wei Luhe and Wei Jiankang, their natures were far better than those of Zhang Chenggong's people.
There were four Bulletproof Vests in total: two brand new ones, one from Wolf Head, and one from Zhang Chenggong.
The Wolf Head vest was on Chen Letian. Shen Yuan gave Wei Luhe the damaged Bulletproof Vest from Zhang Chenggong and then handed the other brand new one to Wei Jiankang.
Wei Jiankang was very important.
As long as he was alive, even if others sustained severe injuries, as long as they did not die, they would not perish.
He must be well protected!
Shen Yuan sat next to Chi Qinghua, studying the Submachine Gun.
An hour later, the heat in his body finally dissipated completely. He picked up the Tactical Dagger and began processing the remaining Mutated Dog meat.
A warm current flowed from the palm of his left hand into his body, and the faint golden glow in his palm grew brighter, with the area it covered gradually increasing.
It wasn't until he finished processing all the Mutated Dog meat that Shen Yuan felt a surge of heat throughout his body, realizing he had reached his physical limit. He quickly grabbed the packaged food and bottled water.
Finally, he tightly gripped the Submachine Gun in his left hand and silently chose to activate it.
The Micro Submachine Gun was several times larger and heavier than the Semi-Automatic Pistol, and its internal structure was more complex. Activating the Micro Submachine Gun was much more difficult than activating the Bulletproof Vest, taking a full hour to complete.
When Shen Yuan finished activating the Micro Submachine Gun, he felt drowsy.
It was now seven-thirty in the evening, and the sky was gradually darkening.
Shen Yuan locked the Civil Defense Door again before returning to Chi Qinghua's side to wake both Chi Qinghua and A Hu.
After absorbing too much Source of Life, everyone would feel sleepy, their consciousness dulling and their spirits flagging. This was a side effect of absorbing Source of Life.
Chi Qinghua and A Hu woke up, allowing him to rest easy.
He slept soundly during this nap.
In his dream, he felt as if he were falling into an ice cave, growing colder and colder, until he sensed warmth again, only to be startled awake by Chen Letian's loud shout.
"Damn! It's snowing! It's snowing heavily! Snow in June! No, snow in April! I've never seen snow this big in my life; it's bigger than goose feathers! The parking lot entrance is already blocked!"
Chen Letian shouted, his expression extremely exaggerated, with unmelted snow still on him.
He had just returned from outside.
Shen Yuan felt the air around him getting colder, and it had already dropped below zero. If he hadn't been covered with several blankets, even with his physical condition, he would probably be sick by now.
"What’s going on?" Shen Yuan stood up, slightly frowning.
Everyone except Xu Lixing was awake. He glanced at his watch; it was already 12:30 AM. He had slept for a full five hours.
Since the apocalypse began, he hadn't slept that long.
If it weren't for the temporary relief from danger, he wouldn't have dared to sleep, let alone for such a long time.
Chen Letian exclaimed dramatically, "Shen Ge, I’m telling you, it suddenly got cold half an hour ago! It must have been around ten degrees before, right? In just half an hour, it dropped below zero! I almost froze to death! We all woke up from the cold; Azure Mantis covered you with several blankets so you didn’t wake up... Alright, alright, I won’t ramble."
Chen Letian chuckled, "I thought it was strange, so I ran outside to check. As soon as I reached the parking lot entrance, I felt a blast of cold air from that broken hole; it was freezing! Outside is all white; the snowflakes are as big as fists, clumped together! The snow on the ground is at least two meters deep! The entire parking lot entrance is almost blocked!"
Shen Yuan frowned. "Fist-sized snowflakes? Two meters of snow? In just half an hour?"
How could that be possible!
No matter how heavy the snow was, it couldn't accumulate that much!
Chen Letian shouted, "Boss, don’t doubt me! It really is that big! Hehe, the biggest snow I've ever seen only reached my ankles!"
Shen Yuan remained silent.
After the apocalypse arrived, everything changed.
Yesterday's heavy rain was unprecedented; at least Shen Yuan had never heard of such a downpour. It truly felt like the pillars of heaven were collapsing and the Heavenly River was flooding!
Today's blizzard, if it really is as Chen Letian said, is also unprecedented.
This is a natural disaster, a great calamity that has never been seen before!
A great disaster that destroys civilizations!
The heavy rain yesterday surely caused many Survivors to perish, but it also undoubtedly gave rise to many Evolvers.
So how many people will be frozen to death in today's blizzard, and how many more Evolvers will emerge?
This is a disaster, but it is also an opportunity—an unprecedented opportunity.
"Do you remember how you evolved? I suspect this snow can similarly promote biological evolution. If you want to give it a try... follow me!"
Shen Yuan had a submachine gun slung around his neck, one hand holding an Activated Engineering Shovel and the other holding an Activated Tactical Dagger, as he made his way to the Elevator Lobby.
Then he began to ascend the stairs.
Taking the maintenance shaft might be safer, but for them now, ordinary Zombies were no longer a concern. This building has 33 floors; climbing up through the maintenance shaft would be too exhausting. Not to mention, Zhang Huanxue and Wei Jiankang definitely couldn't manage it, and Chi Qinghua would struggle as well.
He was going out to experience the snow.
He didn't choose to go directly to the outdoor plaza because there were certainly still many Zombies outside, and possibly even Mutant Creatures.
These Zombies and Mutant Creatures should not be frozen to death by Blizzard; instead, they are likely to mutate again and become even stronger, which is very dangerous.
In contrast, the rooftop of the 33rd floor might be the safest place!
Everyone has arrived, including Wei Jiankang and Zhang Huanxue, and Xu Lixing has also been awakened.
Zhang Huanxue is a bit excited because among these people, she is the only one who has not evolved or mutated. This somewhat shy girl always feels like a burden and hopes to become stronger, wanting to contribute her part in this small team centered around Shen Yuan!
There are Zombies in the stairwell, but not many.
Shen Yuan is at the back, with Chi Qinghua and A Hu following closely behind him.
Xu Lixing has woken up feeling much better, and his body has basically healed; he is quite powerful and walks at the front, with Chen Letian behind him.
Zhang Huanxue and Wei Jiankang are in the middle, while Wei Luhe is responsible for protecting them.
Each person in this small team has their own role.
This is what a stable and reliable team looks like!
