The post-apocalyptic world has a space full of supplies.

Chapter 109 Port City (2)

Qin Yuan and the others didn't have to wait long before they saw Gu Nanfeng and his two companions running towards them at an incredible speed. Behind them, a snow whirlwind suddenly appeared, whipping up layers of snow from the ground. It felt like if they were caught, they would be instantly turned into snowmen.

Pei Sihao shouted at the four of them as he ran, "Run! Or we'll set it on fire!"

Qin Yuan immediately snapped out of his confusion. He raised his hands and spit two tongues of fire at the snow whirlwind behind Gu Nanfeng and the others. But probably because it was a whirlwind, the fire quickly went out as soon as it got close, and it did not cause any damage to the whirlwind at all.

Qin Yuan intensified his firepower again, and Lin Yun also blew a strong wind in that direction, which strengthened the power of Qin Yuan's fire. However, as the flames approached the whirlwind, they seemed to extinguish. Gu Nanfeng and the others were getting closer and closer. If they still couldn't harm this snow whirlwind, the four of them would have to run away.

Flames flew towards the whirlwind once more. Qin Yuan couldn't see what Gu Nanfeng was saying to Wei Cheng beside him. Suddenly, countless branches shot out from all directions and rushed into the snow whirlwind. The branches swirled with the whirlwind, and soon they became clearly visible, densely packed with branches within the snow mist. Qin Yuan's flames plunged into the snow mist, instantly igniting the branches. Combined with the whirlwind's own force, it quickly transformed from a snow whirlwind into a fire whirlwind.

The whirlwind stopped chasing, seemingly because the zombie emanating from the wind had been burned. The entire whirlwind swayed left and right, as if undergoing a fiery inferno. Gu Nanfeng could vaguely hear a "hehehe" sound.

"What's going on?" The whirlwind finally stopped, leaving only countless branches and a raging fire. The fire burned a large hole in the snow before Qin Yuan and Lin Yun came over.

“We hadn’t gone far when Brother Feng detected a grayish-white energy ball rushing towards us. He said this energy ball was even larger than the one he detected in N City before, so we ran in your direction. Not long after, this snow whirlwind appeared behind us.” Pei Sihao explained to the four of them, while Gu Nanfeng used the vines released by Wei Cheng to descend to the bottom of the blood hole.

Sure enough, at the bottom of the bloody hole was a charred zombie corpse. Gu Nanfeng called to Wei Cheng to lower another vine to wrap around the corpse as well. The vine quickly dragged Gu Nanfeng and the zombie corpse out of the snow cave and back onto the snow surface.

Just as Gu Nanfeng successfully landed, he seemed to see two withered, bluish-purple hands emerge from the bloody hole. They were groping around where the zombie corpse had been, seemingly trying to drag it away. After groping for a while without finding their target, a zombie's face suddenly emerged from the snow. It had bluish-purple skin, dry hair, and eyes without eyeballs. It looked up at the snow hole and its eyes met Gu Nanfeng's.

In that instant, the zombies at the bottom of the snow cave shrank back into the snow and disappeared.

"It wants this corpse?" Gu Nanfeng pointed to the spot where the zombie had disappeared in the snow cave, then pointed to several other places nearby, and continued, "There are zombies in these places, and they all want this corpse."

The seven people examined the zombie corpse they had pulled up for a long time. They could confirm that it was a zombie with wind and snow-related abilities, but why did other zombies want to take its body away even though it was already dead?

"Could it really be like Xiao Gu guessed, that they can gain the superpowers of their companions by eating their corpses?" Qin Yuan recalled Gu Nanfeng's speculation during the meeting at the research institute, and also remembered the zombie whose head Du Wenqing had crushed. Gu Nanfeng had also mentioned that when he encountered Du Wenqing again, his energy orb was twice as large as before.

“It’s not impossible.” Lin Yun didn’t find it disgusting at all. He squatted down, rummaged through his backpack, took out a pair of medical gloves, and put them on his leather gloves. They hadn’t expected that the supply pack Lu Yuan had prepared for them would even include these things. Lin Yun had checked his backpack before leaving. He had originally intended to take them out without bringing them, but then he probably thought that these things didn’t take up much space, so he didn’t bother with them. Now, they turned out to be quite useful.

After putting on medical gloves, Lin Yun began searching the zombie's body. It was a female zombie whose clothes had been completely burned away, and whose body had been burned to almost charcoal by the fire. So searching through it wasn't so disgusting.

Pei Sihao also took out gloves from his backpack, put them on, and squatted down next to Lin Yun to examine the zombie corpse with him. He was a medical student, so he was more experienced than Lin Yun in the examination.

“I think there’s something inside its head.” Pei Sihao said, looking up at Gu Nanfeng. Actually, he could just crush the almost charred head to find out if there was anything inside. However, Pei Sihao was a little worried that some strange substance might spray out after crushing it. He signaled everyone else to move away from this side, asked Lin Yun to blow a little breeze in the opposite direction, and took a gas mask and put it on, preparing to crush the charred head.

"How about I do it?" Gu Nanfeng leaned in again, now fully armed. Pei Sihao tried to stop him, but Gu Nanfeng continued, "You have healing abilities. If something happens to me, you can heal me. But if something happens to you, we can't help you..."

After hearing Gu Nanfeng's words, Pei Sihao retreated to the crowd, and even Lin Yun was called back, told to just get some fresh air from this side.

Gu Nanfeng stood alone in the snow, holding the heavily carbonized zombie head in both hands. With just a slight movement of his thumb, he heard a cracking sound. A crack appeared at the position of his thumb, which gradually widened and multiplied until the skull shattered completely, leaving countless black fragments and a thumb-sized white stone on the white snow.

Gu Nanfeng picked up the small stone, and then a gust of wind blew, sending the fragments of the zombie's head falling back into the snow cave. Gu Nanfeng stood up, turned around, and kicked the entire zombie's body back into the snow.

"Could this be the legendary zombie crystal?" Zhong Qiang was the first to rush over. The chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) teenager always has many tricks up his sleeve. He examined the small white stone in Gu Nanfeng's hand carefully several times, exclaiming repeatedly.

"Maybe." Gu Nanfeng also picked up the stone and examined it from all angles. If it were a crystal, this stone wouldn't be transparent at all; it was pure white, but it didn't have any impurities.

Suddenly, Gu Nanfeng put away the pure white pebble. He looked in the direction behind Qin Yuan and the others. In just a second, he grabbed his backpack from the snow and shouted, "Run! Back to the yacht!"

Lin Yun reacted quickly, running while simultaneously pulling out his walkie-talkie to call Lu Yuan. However, the threat from behind prevented them from noticing that Lu Yuan didn't respond at all on the other end of the walkie-talkie...
