Chapter 232 - another snow

In mid-February, the weather in the north has not yet warmed up, and the ground is still covered with a thick layer of white snow.

The sky was full of snowflakes again, this time the snow was not normal snowfall, but the first strange snow of the year.

Those zombies who were buried in the snow and dug holes because of the snow broke out of the ground at this time. Instead of lying in the snow a few years ago and waiting for the strange snow to melt into their mouths, they at least Sticking his head out of the snow pit, looking up to the sky, he opened his mouth and let the snowflakes fall into his mouth.

Some people whose body temperature dropped to around 22 degrees completely lost consciousness at this time, or stood in front of the window, or stood in the snow, making the same shape as the zombies, waiting for the snowflakes to fall into their mouths.

Some people whose body temperature has not dropped to the early twenties, for some reason, live with those whose body temperature has dropped but their physique has not completely changed. Those relatively normal people can’t help but feel terrified when they see this scene at this time , I do not know in the end what happened.

Some people thought that their companions were playing the game of opening their mouths to catch the snow, and tried to open their mouths to catch the snow for a while, but they didn’t feel anything. It was only when they put away the stupid imitation and pulled their companions that something was wrong…

Just like last time, when Wei Xuan came back to his senses, the snow floating in the sky had completely disappeared. But at this time, he still raised his head, looking at the gray sky, and it took him a long time to spit out a long mouthful of white mist.

His gaze turned from the sky to the white mist that had just been sprayed out by him in front of him. Although his body temperature had dropped, there was still warm air in his body. Of course, the air he exhaled in winter was still mist.

As soon as he lowered his head, the snow piled up on his head and face suddenly fell down, and some of them sneaked into Wei Xuan’s collar very viciously. Even though he was not too afraid of the cold, his whole body trembled from the ice, and he jumped up from the spot. And then… the snow on his shoulders and clothes also fell one after another.

Du Hang on the side saw Wei Xuan jumping up, and turned to look at him, and the snow on his head and face also fell down one after another.

The two cleaned off the snow on their bodies. Wei Xuan looked around and found that his zombie brothers were not standing all over the community as before, so he walked a few steps in the direction of the brother’s dormitory building, and found them as soon as he turned the corner. One by one, they were poking their heads out of windows and door openings, or standing downstairs.

The younger brothers had obviously just “fed enough” and were about to go back to the building to continue staying at home – Wei Xuan said, don’t stay outside when it snows. However, seeing Wei Xuan, who was able to move, approaching, they staggered towards him and Du Hang, exuding excitement.

“It’s snowing, it’s snowing…”

“Snow, snow, snow…”

The language skills of the younger brothers are still lacking, and they are jumping out with a few words. But in the past, they “speak” with brainwaves, which made Wei Xuan feel a headache. Now he yells with his mouth, Wei Xuan’s ears itch.

Picking out his ears, Wei Xuan raised his head again to check the weather, it should be the afternoon of the second day after the strange snow, just in time to start work!

“Okay, collect all the strange snow that has been placed with plastic sheets before.” Wei Xuan looked around at the many zombie boys who were excitedly waiting for their work, and announced to them.

The appetite of the zombie brothers at home is slowly increasing, but fortunately, even if they don’t have time to distill the snow water into snowflakes, they will go to the room where they pretend to be snow and snow water to find “food” for themselves. It’s just that they drink when the weather is hot, but now it’s winter, after those strange snows and snow water melt and freeze into ice cubes, when they are hungry, they will run to the room where the snow water is stored and smash them into pieces with their strange power. A piece of ice, and then directly grabbed a piece and stuffed it into the mouth…

Such a simple, direct and violent method made Wei Xuan’s eyelids twitch when he saw it for the first time, but the children can support themselves, which finally saved him some trouble.

Nowadays, he generally doesn’t need to take care of what his younger brothers usually eat, as long as he puts the snow water in the unified building. On the one hand, the strange snow he usually cooks is what he needs to eat, and on the other hand, he prepares to carry it with the zombie brothers when they go out.

So today he just needs to bring his younger brothers back as much as possible to collect as much strange snow as usual, anyway, his house has a lot of containers now.

The zombie boys who got another job opportunity were so excited that they rushed out of the building, even the male and female zombies who lived in a house for a year and could not leave the door. Wei Xuan was not sure if they were Come out because you’re bored in your room? Anyway, the coolies that come to your door for free are not for nothing.

Bringing all kinds of pots and pans, the zombie brothers happily dangled around, and started to fight them to hurry up and collect them—must rush to collect them! The strange snow is not ordinary snow, even in winter they will melt instantly the next day after the snow stops, they have to get back as much rations as possible for their zombies before then.

Fortunately, the current strange snow falls four times a year, once every season, and every time Wei Xuan and the others collect the strange snow, they have leftovers for the next time. Wei Xuan now decided to boil the extra snow into snowflakes and save it. He always felt that this kind of strange snow appeared inexplicably. What if it stopped snowing one day in the future? If you don’t have snowflakes in stock…God knows what the zombies will eat to replenish their energy?

Wei Xuan currently doesn’t understand the existence form of the zombies, nor does he know how often the zombies need to replenish their energy, and how long can they maintain their actions and consumption after replenishing their energy? Otherwise, in the future, if all the living people turned into zombies or half-zombies like him, and the strange snow stopped falling, what would the zombies who had neither snowflakes nor human flesh eat?

At least based on his current experience, eating the meat of mutated animals to the size of his stomach only took him one night to digest it.

In that case, even if the size of the mutated animal becomes several times larger, I’m afraid it won’t be able to withstand people’s daily eating, right?

Thinking of this, Wei Xuan worked harder. At the beginning, he just spread plastic sheets on the roofs of his own community and several nearby buildings in accordance with his usual habits to isolate ordinary snow and strange snow.

But after collecting these, Wei Xuan decided to increase the scope of collection when he saw that there were still many intact pots and pans left in the house.

It turns out that Wei Xuan always thought that ordinary snow and strange snow would not be able to tell the difference when stacked together, but that was when he was an ordinary human being. Now that he has become a zombie, he can tell the difference between a handful of snow and strange snow with just a little questioning. How thick is the strange snow in the snow? Just take off the top layer, wouldn’t it be fine?

What’s more, the ones who help him deal with the snow are all zombies! How could they not recognize it?

“Oh, if I knew they could tell the difference, I would have let them do it like this before, otherwise the harvest this time in winter would be less than usual.” Wei Xuan sighed with regret, and by the way, sighed silently in his heart Although the zombie boys were collecting strange snow and snow water when he was sleeping for a long time before, but because these guys used all the containers to store water, they occupied a lot of pots and pans, which caused them to collect strange snow after the strange snow. are collecting, but the quantity is enough for their daily consumption.

Although there are still some stocks after waking up, they are out of stock after a little use.

“Let’s go back and find some pots and pots.” After giving orders to the zombie boys, and seeing that they obediently collected the strange snow from the upper layer into the container as much as possible according to their instructions, Wei Xuan’s mood index rose by one level, and he whispered Mutter something.

Du Hang nodded after hearing the words beside him: “Look.”

Wei Xuan turned to look at him: “Don’t go now, let’s go out together later.” It’s not good for the zombie boys to stay at home every day, he has to find something to do regularly and take the team out for a walk, otherwise it will be a long time. Make trouble.

Sometimes people are such creatures. It’s okay to be lazy, stay at home, and not like to go out, but you can’t see others like this. Now Wei Xuan is in this state. He usually stays at home and can go out of his room for a week, but after discovering that his zombie brothers love work so much, he has the interest to take them out more often.

Of course, this kind of “going out more” is also relative to Wei Xuan’s own living habits. Generally speaking, if he can take his little brother out for three to five days a month, it should be about the same?

After thinking about the approximate time of going out next time and what things to collect when going out, Wei Xuan happily joined the ranks of the younger brothers to clean up the snow together.

Still busy for 24 hours, when Wei Xuan found that the snow in front of him was “short” in an instant, and he also melted the snow on the lower layer to form fine and small holes – already It’s been a whole day.

Straightened up, Hammer didn’t feel sore waist, Wei Xuan sighed and raised his head to look around: “The harvest should be pretty good, right?”

Seeing that the snow in front of him suddenly disappeared, the busy zombie brothers also stopped their work in a daze. Although their wisdom seems to have increased a lot, at most they are just ignorant of the state of children, and they don’t understand what happened for a while-even though this scene has happened several times before.

“It’s time for work! Bring the pot home!” Seeing that the younger brothers not far away seemed to be in a daze, Wei Xuan could only remind them loudly.

“Go home, go home, go home…” The zombie boys realized that today’s task was over, and all the boys repeated the unified slogan again excitedly, carrying buckets, holding pots and pans, shaking Swaying towards the direction of his own community.
