At the beginning of March 2020, the extremely cold weather that lasted for more than two months finally showed signs of warming up.
In an abandoned town more than 100 kilometers away from the capital base, the sound of shouts, explosions, and flames rising into the sky can be seen from afar.
Shen Shi'an made a backflip and retreated sharply. The place where he was standing a moment ago exploded and burst into flames. In the flames, gravel, mud and mud mixed with melted ice and snow splashed everywhere. The huge impact force rushed in, and the soles of his boots were stuck A shallow furrow was plowed on the frozen ground, and only then did it rely on the resistance of the long sword inserted into the ground to stop.
"An'an!" Shen Xun's anxious voice sounded in his mind: "Are you okay!"
Shen Shi'an leaned on his sword and knelt on one knee, his chest heaved violently, and there were obvious burn marks on the dark green combat uniform. It was still minus 20 degrees, but his flushed face was covered with sweat.
He raised his hand to wipe the sweat and dirt off his face, and said loudly, "I'm fine!"
More than a week ago, after the Lantern Festival, he was invited to take 20 new members to participate in another group mission organized by the base management—to transport coal to Beijing in S Province, which is 200 kilometers away from the base.
The emergence of this task is inevitable. After barely providing heating for more than 6 million people in the base for more than two months, the fuel storage in the base should have been on the verge of exhaustion, all relying on wood-type abilities and fire-type It was only for such a long time that supernatural beings had been used as an additional source of energy. If the fuel is not replenished as soon as possible, I am afraid that even the "Skynet" will not be able to maintain it. When the temperature rises completely, mosquitoes and birds will become active again, which will inevitably lead to a catastrophic ending.
The reason why Shen Shi'an was actively invited for this group mission was that apart from his superior combat effectiveness, he was also interested in his super space storage ability. After all, he was the man who even wanted to cut down the metal wall of the storage warehouse and take it away.
Considering the urgency and importance of this task, as well as the generous reward of the task, Shen Shi'an quickly agreed. Because Chen Nan, Liu Fangzhou and others participated in another material collection mission, only he and Gouzi were the core members who came out this time, and half of the twenty new members were supernatural beings and ordinary people.
The ultra-low temperature makes this task difficult for most participants to call it pleasant. Every day is spent in the endless cold, but the benefits are also obvious-almost few zombies are encountered on the way to the destination, and occasionally The group of zombies I met was also frozen in the snow and could not move. The supernatural beings set fire to it, and the zombie crystal nucleus was picked up for nothing.
A total of more than 150 mission participants successfully arrived at the largest coal mining site in S province. After filling the space filled with space power users and ten military trucks, they began to rush back.
The first half of the return journey was as smooth as when we came here. Everyone had already made good expectations for an unimpeded journey. Unexpectedly, halfway to the capital base, they encountered three supernatural zombies in this unremarkable deserted town. And tens of thousands of zombies.
These three supernatural zombies all have fire supernatural powers, and their ability to release high temperatures should be the main reason why they can move freely at this temperature.
Among them, the zombie Shen Shian and Shen Xun faced was the highest level, at least in the middle of the third level, and its ability is different from ordinary fire abilities. It can not only release a range of extremely high-temperature flames, but also compress the flames. Then throw it out and detonate it, thus producing an effect similar to bomb but more destructive.
Shen Shi'an was unprepared at first when he was blown away by a flame bomb for more than ten meters. If he hadn't had the skills to protect himself, he would have been seriously injured, but even so he suffered several big losses.
The supernatural zombie missed a hit, raised its head angrily and screamed, spewed out a ball of flames to force Shen Xun to retreat, raised his hand and threw a flame bomb, just aimed at the surrounding area that was cleaning up ordinary zombies New member Wu Miao et al.
Shen Shi'an's eyes froze, leaving an afterimage on the spot in an instant, and rushed to Wu Miao and others like lightning, stretching the aura shield to the extreme.
"boom!!!"
The flame bomb exploded the moment it hit the aura shield, and the scorching flames that soared into the sky almost engulfed the group of people.
Under the terrible impact, the aura shield trembled twice and stabilized again. Shen Shi'an gritted his teeth, his face turned pale and then flushed quickly, and a sweet smell came out of his throat.
"Captain!" The team members exclaimed.
"Back!" Shen Shi'an shouted anxiously after putting away the aura mask, "Its effective attack range is about 100 meters, don't get close to this range!"
"yes!"
The mud and rocks were flying and fireballs were flying, and the ground that should have been covered with ice and snow was quickly scorched black and cracked by the high temperature.
Hundreds of meters away, another battlefield was also fiercely fought. Xiao Lang, the head of the tiger wolf regiment, was teaming up with four other high-level supernatural beings to besiege the second third-level supernatural zombie. "How about it... Do you want to help, Captain Shen... Grass! The temperature of the flame is so high that he can make iron!" Most of the steel shot was melted before it got close.
"No! Mind yourself!"
The behavior of the supernatural zombies attacking Shen Shi'an one after another completely angered Shen Xun. The eyes of the huge emerald beast were full of murderous intent, like a black hurricane, roaring and rushing towards the sea of flames released by the zombies.
Taking advantage of the fierce battle between the big dog and the supernatural zombies, Shen Shi'an seized the time and immediately drank a bottle of spiritual spring water to restore his strength.
The difficulty of this zombie was obviously beyond their expectations. In fact, it was also beyond their expectations that two third-level supernatural zombies would be encountered in such a town with a total population of less than 200,000. Although the movement of the zombies was restricted, it did not slow down their evolution at all.
Thinking of this, Shen Shi'an couldn't help feeling solemn.
"Boom!!"
Another bomb exploded, and a row of buildings collapsed. Shen Xun successfully tore off one arm of the supernatural zombie, and cut three deep bone-deep cuts on its right face, almost opening half of the skull, but it was a pity that it still failed to completely destroy the brain.
Shen Shi'an has been observing the attack mode of this zombie. There is always a sea of flames burning within five meters of its body. It is not difficult to pass through this sea of flames. The explosive technique is too destructive. Not only is the temperature high, but even the metal plate can be melted in an instant, and the impact force is extremely terrifying. The affected area will be scorched. He estimates that at least two catties of C4 explosives can produce a similar destructive effect.
But it doesn't seem to be completely without weaknesses: Although it can continuously release flames, it can only throw one flame bomb at a time, and the interval between each bomb is at least about five seconds. Plus, it's not as fast as a big dog.
Shen Xun agreed with him, and he understood his thoughts almost immediately: "I'll attract zombies, An An, you can chop them!"
"Be careful, don't get too close to it."
"I know!"
Shen Xun immediately retreated to a distance of about 50 meters from the supernatural power, and ran around the zombie at a high speed. There was no zombie virus in his body. In order to prevent the attraction to the zombies from being insufficient, Shen Shi'an specially asked Shen Shi'an to throw him a bottle of spiritual spring water in his mouth. In his mouth, the effect was really outstanding, and the attention of the supernatural zombies was all focused on him immediately, and the amazingly powerful flame bombs exploded one after another behind Gouzi, and the waves of fire surged.
Shen Shi'an clenched his long sword tightly, concentrating on finding the right moment. When Shen Xun, the supernatural zombie and him are on the same straight line, and the flame bomb just enters the five-second cooldown period, the tense body disappears from the spot instantly, and the light golden aura breaks through the sea of flames, blinking in the raging flames Attacked behind the zombies.
The snow-blue sword light roared past along with the bitter sword energy, and with a "plop", the head of the supernatural zombie fell to the ground, and after rolling for a certain distance, it stopped right at the foot of the big dog.
The turbid eyeballs turned twice and focused on the bottle of spiritual spring water in the dog's mouth. Before the manipulative flame rose again, he was stamped to pieces by a foot that fell from the sky.
Shen Shi'an came over and rubbed the dog's head, then bent down to pick up a fiery red crystal nucleus.
Once the most difficult zombie is dead, the rest will be much easier.
After more than an hour, all the battles were over, everyone was exhausted, and almost all the buildings in the town were affected by the flames of war, but at this time, I really didn't have the energy to find the next foothold, so I just chose a random building. The buildings that were in good condition and probably wouldn't collapse in a while hid in and lit a fire to rest.
The temperature is too low, and there is still some air leakage on the roof of this building, and everyone is freezing enough. Xiao Lang looked at Shen Shi'an, who was comfortably pillowed on Shen Xun's body beside the fire, envious:
Looks like it's time to get a dog.
This fierce battle in the small town was really dangerous, but fortunately, we never encountered such an accident in the following journey.
Four days later, everyone arrived in the capital smoothly.
Shen Shi'an handed in the task and received the reward, then rode the dog back to the sharp blade base.
The first thing I do when I get home is give my dog a bath. After running around for half a month, loading coal and beating zombies, the big dog was already filthy. He was afraid that Shen Shi'an would dislike him, so he secretly tried to ask the water-type supernatural being Wu Miao to fetch water to wash him several times, but Shen Shi'an promptly Discovered and stopped: the low temperature of minus 20 degrees, taking a cold shower is fatal? Even if Wu Miao could get the water out, it would probably freeze quickly.
Considering the size of the dog, Shen Shi'an asked the decoration team to open up a room next to the bedroom as a bathroom when he first moved into the villa, and built a bathing pool the size of a swimming pool for the dog. There is heating and a fireplace in the room, and you can dry it directly after taking a shower, so you are not afraid of catching a cold even in winter.
Bathing the dog is a physical labor. He is big and has thick and long hair. It took Shen Shi'an more than an hour just to pour water into the bathing pool, soak the dog's whole body and then apply the shower gel.
After finally rubbing the dog carefully from head to toe to make foam, Shen Shi'an's own clothes were almost wet. A thin layer of white T-shirt was tightly attached to his body, and smooth and flexible muscle lines could be faintly seen, just like wearing clothes. A shower made no difference.
Shen Shi'an simply sat on the edge of the bathing pool, raised the shower head and waved to the dog: "Come here, wash it again and it's over."
Shen Xun felt a little strange. He stared closely at Shen Shi'an, and an inexplicable flame burned quickly in his body, as if he had suddenly returned to the day when he was fighting with fire-type supernatural zombies, the sudden soaring temperature made him flustered and thirsty , subconsciously went to Shen Shi'an and went to lick his face.
"Don't make trouble," Shen Shi'an rubbed his head twice, and scratched him under the ears: "What do you want to eat tonight? I will cook tonight."
want to eat you.
I don't know where this idea came from, and even Shen Xun himself was shocked.
He doesn't want to eat An An, but wants to lick him.
Lick An An's hands, An An's face, and An An's neck, so that An An's body will smell like him.
The bathing pool was very deep, and the position where he was standing right now could meet Shen Shi'an's eyes. You can see his wet black hair sticking to the forehead, you can see his quiet and gentle eyes with bottomless depths, you can see his soft red lips, and you can also see the wet clothes clinging to his body .
It was as if someone had poured a pot of hot oil, and the flames in his body suddenly rose up, burning more and more rapidly, and burning wildly along the limbs and bones.
"An'an..." The young man's voice was hoarse, as if he was in pain or at a loss, he subconsciously bent his head into Shen Shi'an's neck, his breath was terribly hot: "I'm uncomfortable...I'm so uncomfortable..."
"What's wrong? Is the water too hot? Or did I comb too hard and hurt you? Let me see..."
Shen Shi'an's voice stopped abruptly when he inadvertently looked down and saw something.
It took him time to digest the scene in front of him.
But Shen Xun obviously didn't have the patience to let him digest it. The unknown and unresolved heat really made him anxious, so he stood up straight, raised his two front paws and tried to press Shen Shi'an to the ground.
Shen Shi'an's mind went blank for a moment. Then subconsciously turned the faucet to the cold water direction to the end.
More than ten minutes later, the big dog was wearing a blanket, lying in front of the fireplace to enjoy the fire with grievances: "An'an, what's wrong with me?"
Shen Shi'an didn't dare to be completely sure. So he went to find Lin Ruan after drying up the dog.
"What else could it be?" Lin Ruan laughed after listening, looking at a small green sprout in the crack of the stone outside the window and said meaningfully:
"Spring is here."
