Zhan Yun smiled without revealing anything, and didn’t answer Qian Fugui’s question directly, but raised a topic that was out of touch with the wind, horse, and cattle, “Did you notice how windy it has been these past two days?”

“Yes, isn’t autumn finally coming? Haha." Qian Fugui knows how to notice when things should be said and not said. At this time, he goes on to talk about other things with Zhan Yun.

“No, winter is coming.” Zhan Yun said with a dignified face, which is actually why they are in a hurry to find the level 4 zombie.

After the outbreak of the apocalypse, people spent every day in a high temperature of more than 40 degrees. Even at night, the temperature often reached more than 35 degrees. The long-term heat caused serious droughts and the death of a large number of plants. Now it is difficult to see green outdoors. But these days, there is a sudden wind, which makes the temperature slightly lower. Therefore, people began to guess whether the season is finally changing, and some people are very happy that the weather is finally cool.

However, Zhan Yun and Su Ruizhe are very clear that this is the omen of the coming winter. The weather in the apocalypse in the last life was very bad, with only two seasons of winter and summer. Spring and autumn seemed to disappear from the world. They are not as optimistic as ordinary people. They know that the coming of this winter is not a good thing for human beings. In fact, cold winter is more unfavorable to human survival than hot summer.

In Su Ruizhe’s memory, in the last winter, it was really extremely cold, with a temperature of -30 degrees. If they don’t take protective measures, they will be frozen into ice in ten minutes. But because the time of the outbreak of the apocalypse is in summer, and it has been in the heat all the time since then, people do not have that consciousness at all to prepare for the winter, so many people will die in the first winter after the outbreak of the apocalypse.

The zombies are already dead so they're not afraid of the cold at all. They still follow their instinct to find food. The senior zombies can control the zombies lower than their own level. Therefore, in the cold winter season, the situation of a zombie siege is more likely to occur.

In Su Ruizhe’s memory, just this winter, one base was destroyed. Only when Su Ruizhe heard about this, it was a few years after the end of the world. The base had been destroyed for several years. No one remembered the name of the base at all but only knew that there were more than 100000 people dead at that time, which was the work of a level 4 zombie.

The zombies that can reach level 4 in the early apocalypse are absolutely comparable to the Zombie King. After the collapse of that base, this zombie evolved directly to level 5, launching a large-scale zombie wave to attack the next base.

There was a great sense of crisis in each base. Many powerful ability users were urgently mobilized to rescue them, but all of them died in vain. Finally, the capital base used weapons of mass destruction to raze the zombies and the city. The number of people killed in that war was unknown.

Su Ruizhe’s heart has been thinking about this matter since his rebirth. When he came back from his last life, his abilities had reached the early stage of level 3. After this period of accumulation, he had met the threshold of level 4. He felt that he and Zhan Yun might have the ability to fight with the level 4 zombie together.

So they asked Qian Fugui to help them find information about the level 4 zombie. They had to kill the level 4 zombie as soon as possible to avoid a series of tragedies. The crystal core of the level 4 zombie can also be used to upgrade Su Ruizhe.

“Winter! It seems that I should stock up something for winter.” Qian Fugui felt his round chin and said as he had no doubt about Zhan Yun’s judgment.

“OK, when you get something good remember to keep it for us.”

“No problem, no problem.” Qian Fugui agreed.

Just then, all of a sudden, they heard an alarm in the base.

Zhan Yun frowned at the sound. They don’t know what happened at the base.

He immediately got up and walked out. Su Ruizhe took out two antidotes and gave them to Qian Fugui. This was the reward they had negotiated at the beginning. Antidotes and ability drugs are sold in limited quantities in bases, but for Zhan Yun's team, they can easily get them.

“Thank you very much.” Qian Fugui carefully put the things away and watched Zhan Yun and the others leave.

Zheng Jiahe and Yu Dongdong are eating half of the watermelon in their hands. Seeing Zhan Yun’s departure, they quickly swallow the melon in three bites and then run out. Cheng Jiao and Wu Jing, who were carrying things outside, saw them coming out and immediately put down their things and followed them.

A group of people quickly ran towards the direction of the alarm and met Xu Sihan and Zhao Bing on the road. After Zhao Bing’s team arrived at the southern base, they were incorporated into the law enforcement brigade, responsible for the internal security of the base and under the jurisdiction of Xu Sihan.

“What happened?” Zhan Yun nodded to Xu Sihan and Zhao Bing and asked.

“It should be at the research center.” Xu Sichan said with a solemn look. The only places that can cause a base-wide alarm are only the research center and the base warehouse and the direction of the voice should be the location of the research center.

Hearing this, all of them sped up their steps. The research center is the most heavily defended place in the south base. After all, the formulations and finished products of antidotes and ability drugs are all in the research center. Once there is a problem there, it will have a very adverse impact on the base.

They soon arrived at the base headquarters, swiped their ID cards and entered the headquarters building. Then take the internal elevator down to the second floor of the underground, pass two safety gates, and come to the outside of the research center through biometrics.

Because the alarm device was triggered, now the research center is in a completely closed state. All channels and gates have been closed. Jiang Xuzhou is leading hundreds of armed soldiers to surround the research center. When he sees Zhan Yun and Xu Sihan coming together, he immediately beckons to them.

Zhan Yun and Su Ruizhe immediately came forward and asked, “What’s the situation, commander Jiang?”

“Someone intruded into the research center, and although nothing unusual was found in the monitoring, an infrared alarm was triggered.” Jiang Xuzhou paused and then continued, “I think it’s an invisibility ability.”

Zhan Yun nodded, “Is there any solution now?”

Jiang Xuzhou nodded. “After the alarm was triggered, the defense system was automatically activated. All the rooms and channels of the research center were closed. The man must have been locked up. I have sent someone to get the thermal imager and sprayer, and it should be found soon.”

“That’s good.”

Soon, the thermal imager and atomizer are taken over. The thermal imager can scan the designated area at a certain distance. Even if the person can be invisible, he will show his body shape under the thermal imager. After locking the target’s room, add some powder directly to the sprayer and spray it into the room, so that the invisible person cannot escape.

Both ways, they soon found the hiding place of the man. The man’s luck was very bad. He estimated that he followed the researchers or the base staff into the research center stealthily, but there was a hidden infrared alarm device at the entrance of the research center, brushing a person’s card, but two people entered. The alarm was triggered immediately. The gates of all the rooms and passageways were immediately closed, so the man was locked in the outer aisle of the research center, rushing around like an ant on a hot pot.

Through the ventilation device, they blow the powder in the sprayer into the aisle, and the white powder soon outlines the shape of a person in the air.

The man also found that he had been exposed. He simply removed his invisibility. He picked up the worker who fell in the corner and held an oval hand grenade in his hand. The safety pin of the hand grenade has been pulled out, and his thumb is tightly pressed on the handle of the handle. Once released, the hand grenade will explode.

“Let me out! Or I’ll detonate the hand grenade! You and this research center are all going to be buried with me! ” The man shouted, his eyes wide with agitation.

The staff he held in front of him was probably the one he followed all the way. After the alarm sounded, he stunned the man, and now he took him as a hostage.

Because of the coma, the staff member kept his head down and couldn’t see clearly. At this moment, he was dragged in front of him. People found that it was Dr. Yang!

Whether it’s for Dr. Yang’s life, or for the important information in the research center and the life safety of dozens of people, this person can’t detonate the hand grenade.

Jiang Xuzhou ordered, “Everyone back, open the gate…”

At last, the gate at the entrance of the research center was opened, and Dr. Yang, who was in a coma was dragged out by the man who had a successful smile on his face and walked step by step towards the outside of the gate.

Just as he was about to walk out of the research center, a hand appeared out of nowhere and suddenly grasped the left hand with the grenade.

The man was shocked and turned pale. When he released Dr. Yang, he wanted to break free from the inexplicable hand with his right hand.

“Bang bang”, his right hand and left leg each with a shot. He screamed and fell down, but his left hand was always held firmly by the inexplicable hand.

Su Ruizhe trots forward, takes out a handful of nuts from his pocket, condenses them into a huge nut, and then slowly transforms them into a square explosion-proof box, which is a tool often used by the bomb squad. It can control the explosion and explosive objects in the box.

The hand grenade exploded in the explosion-proof box without any adverse consequences.

Jiang Xuzhou beckoned, and a small soldier immediately came forward, washed the powder off the face of the man on the ground with water, took out the camera, took a picture of his face, and was going to search the system to see if he could find the identity of the person.

The author has something to say:

[Little Theater On The Street]

Qian Fugui: Strange, why do they want to inquire about level 4 zombies?

Zheng Jiahe: Oh, he asked why we wanted to inquire about the level 4 zombie.

Dr. Song: It’s obvious!

Cheng Qi: Can't you see who we are!

Qian Fugui: Oh, I really don’t know who you are?

Su Xiaozhe: We want to go out for a stroll and kill a level 4 zombie on the way. (＾＿＾)

Qian Fugui: That's too much. I admit Mr. Zhan is very powerful, but killing a level 4 zombie? It’s just sending your head as food! Do you think you’re the protagonist with the halo on your head?

Zhan Xiaoyun: Oh, I’m sorry. There’s really a halo on our head. Do you want us to show it to you? Besides, my wifey is the real golden thigh, even I can’t match it! (＾＿＾)

Qian Fugui: No need to show, I know my psychological shadow area now! (T＿T)
