In a frigid apocalypse, I went on a shopping spree with the reborn.

The shelter is still the same shelter.

The plant doctor grew stronger and stronger, and one tree became a whole forest.

Under the boss's stern command, the little zombies learned to work quietly and gently.

The firewood was added without a sound, the coal was moved without a sound, and those expanding the shelter in the distance were extremely careful.

Countless zombies moved in and out of the shelter as if no one was there.

Little Grey, much thinner than before, had a translator hanging around its neck and twin tails adorning its little comb. It perched on the shoulder of the Corpse King CEO.

A chicken, a corpse, and an insect—this strange group arrived together at Zombie Breeding Base No. 1.

There is a small snowball there.

A few days ago, a heavy snow fell, and the people who were squatting there were buried and have not come out yet.

With a flap of its wings, the zombie king Makayaka from Zombie Breeding Base No. 1 ran over eagerly.

The zombie's strange voice came through the translator on Little Grey's neck:

"Mr. Grey, you've arrived."

Little Grey asked worriedly, "Has Master still not said anything today?"

"No," Makayaka said helplessly. "The chairman is still the same as he was a few days ago, not eating, drinking, or moving."

Then, his eyes lit up: "Chairman Grey, the chairman can't just keep putting up with this. She's human, not a zombie; she still needs to eat. Why don't you send her some food?"

Little Grey ignored the cunning fellow and looked at the little snowman with concern.

one Year.

Since returning, the master has been as if he has lost his voice and has never spoken a word.

She learned everything about the All-Heavens Arena from Wang Defa. Long Jiuxing died, and her eldest and second sisters died. She was very sad.

That's why she was even more worried about her master.

Throughout the year, the quantum computer remained in a blackout state. They wondered if this apocalypse would end as a result, restoring order and peace to what it was before.

Waiting on the left, waiting on the right.

The quantum computers are still there, and the ice and snow have not yet melted. The post-apocalyptic creatures—zombies and shadow demons—have not disappeared; in fact, their numbers have increased.

"Senior Wang, what can I do to help my master?"

Wang Defa idly played with her little rooster comb: "How was I supposed to know? My little world was still a mess, and it's all been destroyed."

Little Grey: "You're a top-tier survivor who made it to the end. Don't you have any other options besides the small world?"

Wang Defa was speechless: "Little guy, can you stop hitting me where it hurts? Isn't what you're saying obvious? The reason I'm so strong is because I have good fortune, what people call having a cheat code."

"Now that I'm dead, I'm no different from any other ordinary person. If you force me to come up with a solution, you're making things difficult for me, you know?"

"You're still making things difficult for an elderly person who's still recovering from serious injuries. Don't you have any conscience?"

"Besides, if I had a way, wouldn't it be better for me to lead everyone to take down all those so-called gods myself? Why would I sacrifice so much to resurrect her?"

Little Grey thought about it for a while and realized it made sense, so its wings drooped down again: "Then shall we just watch like this?"

"Let's wait," Wang Defa said, less worried than her. "You're sad, but she's even sadder. She's consumed by revenge right now, and she won't kill herself until she gets her revenge."

"But..." Little Grey was still worried.

In her memory, it was still the warm daily life in the shelter, where her older sisters taught her to read and write, and they would occasionally bicker.

Long Jiuxing would cook for everyone with a cold face.

Their owners would bathe them, and the family would watch cartoons and eat hot pot to celebrate.

The All-Heavens Arena Tournament has begun. The master and Long Jiuxing took their eldest and second eldest sisters for three days. When they returned, they were in this state: not eating, not drinking, and not moving.

One day, the owner suddenly arrived at the No. 1 zombie breeding base and has been living there ever since.

She comes to check every day, and gets the same result every day.

"No buts," Wang Defa said. "Little fellow, your master is far stronger and more resilient than you think."

"To put it another way, if she can't pull herself together, then our Eighth District is finished. We should just give up and wait to die."

"Before you die, take out the beef balls you've hidden in your space and I'll help you get rid of them."

"Oh, so you were after my beef balls all along." Little Grey looked incredulous: "Senior Wang, you've shrunk so much, how come you still have such a big appetite? I only have a few beef balls left."

Wang Defa: "You stingy guy, it's just beef balls. If my little world hadn't been destroyed, would I need to beg you?"

"What do you mean by 'just beef balls'?" Little Grey retorted, "Master doesn't have time to make them, and I don't know how to make them either. Neither you nor the Corpse King CEO know how. The stock in my space is dwindling as I eat it."

"Besides, I'm still a cub and need to grow. If I feed you everything, how will I grow? If I don't grow up quickly, how will I take care of my master and help him?"

Wang Defa: "You can't just eat all you want. You have neither fighting ability nor brains. The fatter you get, the more of a burden you'll become."

Little Grey lowered its head in shame.

She worked very hard and didn't slack off at all.

The master has grown too fast. He only had 200,000 combat power before, but after going to the All-Heavens Arena Tournament for only three days, he came back with 1.36 million. How can she catch up with him?

Wang Defa coaxed, "Why don't you take out the beef balls and let me eat them? I'll help you finish some of them. If you don't have anything to eat, you'll naturally get thinner. Once you're thin, you can fly like a bird. After all, chickens and birds are related."

"Really?" Little Grey didn't quite understand. How could it be related to a bird?

"Of course. Birds have wings and so do you. You are the same kind of bird. The reason you can't fly now is because you're too fat. Give me the beef balls. If you don't have anything to eat, you'll get thinner, you know? If you get thinner, you might be able to fly exceptionally fast."

Little Grey practically rolled its eyes to the sky: "Senior Wang, it's wrong to fool children, no, it's wrong to fool little chicks."

"I may be young, but I'm not stupid."

Upon hearing this, Wang Defa looked up at the sky speechlessly, feeling hungry.

This little gray thing looks silly and easy to fool, but when it really matters, it's incredibly cunning and not so easy to fool.

It's not that the shelter is empty, it's just that everything there is alive.

He still retains human eating habits, disliking to eat frozen meat that's frozen solid, and also disliking to eat leafy vegetables.

With the computer screen blacked out, he couldn't ask the computer assistant to exchange it with someone else. The small world was also in chaos, and he couldn't retrieve the things that were originally stored inside.

Neither he nor Little Grey can cook.

As for the Corpse King CEO... let's not even talk about whether he can cook or not. With that incredibly smelly body, how can you eat the food he's touched?

Touching his flat belly, Wang Defa gazed longingly at the little snowball.

The only one who can cook is in that snowbag...

"Never mind," Wang Defa swallowed, realizing he wasn't that hungry.

Little Grey couldn't bear to see him looking so pitiful.

After all, it was he who saved his master's life, so she reluctantly took a large meatball from her meager food supplies and gave it to Wang Defa.

He then instructed Makayaka, "You wait here. If the master wakes up and needs anything, run back to me immediately."

He then instructed Wang Defa: "Senior Wang, keep an eye on the Corpse King CEO, don't let this guy get away."

The Corpse King CEO's lips twitched. The current corpses were no longer the same as before.

Even if you gave it a hundred lives, it wouldn't dare try to run away now.

Not to mention that Little Grey is slightly stronger than it, the one that's not moving in the snow bag might be frantically suppressing its urge to kill right now.

It doesn't want to become the target of this venting.

Returning to the shelter, Little Grey opened her phone and skillfully found the owl video that Jiang Qingyue had shown her before.

They studied how this relative flew, how to do it silently, and tried again and again.

She was also very hungry, so she took out a large meatball that had been magnified by a magnifying glass.

This was cooked for her and stored in her space before her master went to participate in the All-Heavens Arena Tournament.

I looked at it, smelled it, licked it twice, and finally steeled myself and put it back.

First, she couldn't bear to eat it, and second, she really couldn't get any fatter.

She had just observed that owls only look fat; in reality, they are mostly feathers.

She's different; her body is the result of hard work and dedication, the kind that's truly authentic.

With that kind of weight, no matter how fast its wings flap, it can't fly.

suddenly.

"Sizzle, sizzle..."

A short circuit and a strained connection sounded from the computer.

Upon hearing this long-lost voice, Wang Defa quickly raised his forelegs and looked at his miniature version of the quantum computer.

"System reconnection in progress, connection successful. System main controller replacement in progress, replacement successful. New controller name: Moon."

Important Notice: Due to the replacement of the main controller, all previous functions and rules are invalid. All players should refer to the new system announcements for the most accurate information.

The changes weren't limited to one place. As Wang Defa stared in shock at the quantum computer, the invisible power of ice and snow solidified and surged towards the small snow mound like a tidal wave.

"God Jiang!" Wang Defa was so overjoyed that he didn't even bother to check his personal terminal.

The power of ice and snow continued to gather and be rapidly absorbed. Even the thick ice layer quickly thinned, revealing the frozen soil underneath. The power of ice and snow from further away was still surging towards this side.

Little Grey fluttered its tiny wings and rushed over: "Master... Master, how are you?"

"Good news, your master has become stronger." Wang Defa was speechless.

Is this what talent is?

While he was also unable to use his personal computer, he worried about getting enough to eat every day, while others were making good use of the power of ice and snow.

After a very long time, the power of ice and snow stopped flowing.

Jiang Qingyue opened her eyes, her eyes showing no joy, excitement, or anger, but as calm as a stagnant pool.

She raised her wrist and looked at the computer screen that had lit up again.

Just then, a region-wide announcement popped up:

"Congratulations to Jiang Qingyue, the team leader of 'Jiang Qingyue's Little Nest,' for completing the hidden mission: Open Your Eyes. Reward: One Happy Fruit."

Jiang Qingyue took a deep breath.

Another region-wide announcement popped up:

"Congratulations to Jiang Qingyue, the team leader of 'Jiang Qingyue's Little Nest,' for completing the hidden mission: Breathing. Reward: A pot of fresh romaine lettuce."

Wang Defa: "..."

Little Grey: "..."

The Corpse King CEO: "..."

Makayaka: "..."

Their faces were blank.

Jiang Qingyue stood up, and had only taken a few steps:

"Congratulations to Jiang Qingyue, the captain of 'Jiang Qingyue's Little Nest', for completing the hidden mission: Get up. Reward: a bunch of century-old seedless grapes."

"..."

For the rest of the day, everyone in District 8 went from shock to complete speechlessness.

Jiang Qingyue tidied up the rabbit hutch, completed the hidden quest, and was rewarded with a sleeping pillow.

Jiang Qingyue cleaned up the snake's den, completed the hidden quest, and was rewarded with a set of Moonlight Soft Armor.

Jiang Qingyue cooked hot pot, completed the hidden quest, and was rewarded with a pair of Thousand-Mile Aurora Boots.

……

Wang Defa was so excited that he kept hitting his chin: "If it weren't for Zhao Mingyue, I, Fatty, would have eaten my own shit."

"Listen to this! Is this water? This is clearly the sea!"

"So blatant? If I were Long Jiuxing, wouldn't I be so angry I'd come back to life?"

Announcement: "Congratulations to Wang Defa, captain of 'The Palace of the Emperor Gou', for completing the hidden mission. Reward: a zipper mouth."

"Damn it!" Wang Defa cursed, "We were comrades-in-arms, how can you be so petty? If I hadn't snatched Jiang Shen from the jaws of death, you'd be crying your eyes out right now!"

As Wang Defa was speaking, he suddenly realized that something had been placed over his mouth and then pulled up like a zipper.

His eyes widened.

The Lord of Eternal Winter doesn't follow the rules, and this one is even more unreasonable.

In the past, when the God of Eternal Winter gave you an item, you would at least use it yourself. But this time, he didn't even receive it; he just used it directly.

Is there any reason?

Is there no law left?

Didn't you know he was Jiang Shen's savior?

How dare you treat him like this?

"Woo woo~" He jumped in front of Jiang Qingyue and pointed to his mouth.

Jiang Qingyue ignored him.

Little Grey chuckled. This guy is so talkative and chattery, his owner must have been annoyed by him a long time ago. Now that he can't talk, it's good that everyone can have some peace and quiet.

Jiang Qingyue folded Long Jiuxing's favorite outfits neatly and put them in her space, and put the rest away in the closet.

Several large pots of freshly made cooked food were placed on the table and left to cool. Little Grey took the initiative to collect them.

"Is Master going on a long trip? Why have you prepared so much food for me?"

Jiang Qingyue didn't say anything, but her hands were never idle. She took out some of the plant doctor essence she had accumulated over the past year and gave it to Little Grey, some to Wang Defa, and kept the rest for herself.

"Thank you, Master." Little Grey didn't mind that he didn't answer him. "Don't worry, Master, I'll take good care of the house."

"I'm learning from the owl, and one day I'll be able to carry my owner to fly thousands of miles into the sky."

"I'll keep a close eye on the zombie breeding base, and I've had them water your vegetables too. I'll remember to pick the essence every day."

"I will also clean my eldest and second eldest sisters' rooms regularly, and I will make sure they are kept clean and tidy."

"We're going on a long trip!" Wang Defa jumped onto Jiang Qingyue's head, wanting her to take him with her, but he couldn't say a word. In his anxiety, he kept scratching Jiang Qingyue's scalp.

Jiang Qingyue ignored him and didn't chase him away.

When she finished packing and went out, Wang Defa sat on her head and followed her out the door.

Little Grey stood on the head of the Corpse King CEO, flapping its wings, watching them leave.

"Master, I'm waiting for you to come home. I'll try my best to eat beef balls and lay eggs."

You absolutely must come back, don't forget me.
