Kingdom of Corrosion

The next morning, Lin Meng woke up Lin Wu, who was pretending to sleep. The two of them quietly left the large dormitory and were instantly awakened by the biting cold wind that greeted them. Of course, this warranted a complaint. Little White Rabbit helplessly responded to Lin Wu that the Cold Resistance Value didn’t mean that one couldn’t feel the cold at all; exposed body parts would still have sensation. Similarly, no matter how high the Cold Resistance Value, touching cold water would also feel icy. Unless they wrapped up exposed areas like hands and faces, losing touch sensation would mean not feeling the chill.

As they reached the small square, they noticed it hadn’t snowed, and the snow wasn’t thick. The sky was a murky gray, almost as if one could see the frost in the air. The command center showed the current temperature was minus 25 degrees Celsius.

The two went to the kitchen to check the ingredients, and Lin Wu decided, "Soup dumplings for breakfast, boiled dumplings for lunch, and hotpot for dinner," before heading out to walk the dog. Lin Meng started the fire to boil water and prepared the food basins, and then realized it was really convenient since all she had to do was wait.

Lin Wu strolled to the back door where the Laimeng River had already frozen over, covered with a layer of light snow. He then went to check on Phantom and Sandstorm, who were doing well. Returning to Shadow Base, he saw an unmanned snow plow passing through Sentry Card.

Lin Wu released Little Fight, who trailed the snow plow and found that the vehicle only cleared a main road and the routes in the villa area. Lin Wu went to the rooftop to overlook the airport, where another snow plow was operating, but it too was only clearing a partial area, opening up a runway and some areas for vehicles and planes to move.

The biggest discovery: the snow plows were large and slow, seemingly usable to bypass the infrared scanning at the Sentry Card to access the airport.

Secondary finding: no zombies were detected on the roads cleared by the snow plow. It could be interpreted that the snow plow swept away all the zombies. The snow plow devoured the snow on the road and ejected it from both sides of the vehicle. Although the working principle was unclear, it could be confirmed that this route was very safe. However, the major threat wasn’t the zombies, but the surveillance capable of summoning drones.

Between the fire and the beds was a one-meter space, which served as the dining and meeting area. Lin Meng placed the large pot on the fire stand, filled with cooked soup dumplings, and then distributed food basins and utensils.
