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

After moving into the hole dug by the Corpse King CEO, Jiang Qingyue looked at the six messages sent by Liu Yuyao with a solemn expression.

After Yan Bao came over and read the six messages on the quantum computer, its fur stood on end, and it hugged its front paws, looking at its owner with concern.

The first point is a warning about the next cold wave, the fourth cold wave. Liu Yuyao said that the temperature will drop to minus 100 degrees Celsius during the fourth cold wave, but that's not the most fatal thing. The most fatal thing is that the God of Eternal Winter will release another kind of creature—the Shadow Fiend.

This thing is much more dangerous than a zombie. It can appear in any shadow where there is no light, and unlike a zombie, it doesn't drop a crystal core after you kill it. When a Shadow Demon dies, it turns into a cloud of black mist and disappears, leaving nothing behind.

The second piece of information, related to reviving her parents, was essentially useless, as she had already learned it from Wang Dawei. Liu Yuyao's method was the same as Wang Dawei's: to go to the first experimental zone and find the time machine.

The third message: Humans get a great tonic.

On the official rankings of the various experimental zones, among the top 100 forces, 76 treat the human race like ginseng.

Liu Yuyao's message was brief, but Jiang Qingyue felt immense pressure from those few words of reminder.

Wang Dawei didn't do very well in his previous life. The information he knew was all common knowledge, and it was also quite outdated.

As the strongest force in the Eighth Experimental Zone, the Chinese government has now met with people from other experimental zones and is now in the same trial space.

Although Jiang Qingyue didn't know what kind of tests or competitions they had, one thing was certain: the other races in the experimental zone were probably the first to receive official confirmation of the human race's ability to replenish itself.

The authorities have not chosen to disclose this secret, whether to avoid causing panic or for other reasons, but they have been very friendly to the forces in the Eighth District.

Buying information from Liu Yuyao, purchasing the essence of Plant Doctor from her, etc., is clearly supporting them.

"No wonder Liu Yuyao went to such lengths to protect those two people."

One against seventy-six, and that's still quite high in the rankings. It's unclear which of the remaining factions will side with.

If the Eighth District doesn't have enough strong individuals at this point, it will truly be powerless to resist.

In comparison, the crises brought by zombies and shadow demons are like appetizers, and zombies seem to be just a free lunch.

The fourth message: Strengthen your physical body. The physical body will be incredibly important in the future. Combat, flight, withstanding the pressures of space—all will require an exceptionally strong physical body.

Jiang Qingyue couldn't tell whether this message was really written by Wang Dawei in his diary or a reminder from Liu Yuyao herself.

She clenched her fist; her strength was actually quite considerable, and her physical body wasn't as fragile as she had mocked herself for.

She had taken a constitution-enhancing potion, plus the "ten points of constitution" package given to everyone by the Dog God.

In addition to what they inherited from Yu You and Wang Dawei, their physical constitution will also slowly transform as their combat power increases.

So even though she's an archer, her pure physical strength is much stronger than the two naked men she encountered today, but she can't compare to a tank like Wang Longhua.

With Liu Yuyao's keen eyesight, it was impossible for her not to notice, but she still pointed it out, which shows that Liu Yuyao believed that her physical strength was not yet sufficient.

The fifth message states that Shen Yi, ranked seventh on the combat power list, is the representative of the Eternal Winter God in the Eighth District, commonly known as the Envoy. His stance is unclear, and one should exercise caution when associating with him.

Upon seeing this person's message again, Jiang Qingyue suddenly felt an impulse to take advantage of her current strength over Shen Yi and eliminate this guy.

A fence-sitter wavering between the human race and the eternal winter god, the more powerful he becomes, the more troublesome he becomes.

Now, her and Long Jiuxing's combat power has exceeded 100,000, and Yan Bao and Zaizai's have also exceeded 100,000. As long as they can be found, they can definitely make Shen Yi die without a chance of survival.

Actually, it's getting late. Although she has four warriors with a combat power of 100,000, Shen Yi's own combat power has also reached 100,000. As the representative of the Eternal Winter God in the Eighth District, he definitely has trump cards, making him much harder to kill.

We had a better chance of winning if we had done it before everyone else caught up.

"Damn Wang Dawei," Jiang Qingyue couldn't help but mutter under her breath.

It's all this guy's fault for only writing "messenger"; he forgot it way too quickly.

If the notebook she had contained as much detail as the one Liu Yuyao had...

As Jiang Qingyue pondered, she realized with a sigh that knowing before was useless. Even now, the whole world knew that Wang Dawei was a reincarnated person and had left behind a notebook. Shen Yi must already know that her identity as an envoy had been exposed.

He doesn't even know if his past life was good or bad. But as the only person who might be able to connect with the God of Eternal Winter, the danger he faces is unimaginable.

This guy must be extremely cautious; even if he goes looking for him, he'll probably just come up empty-handed.

The sixth message says that in Quanshui City there is a cow that produces a basin of milk every morning and a basin of beef every evening.

With a "gulp," Jiang Qingyue turned her head and saw Yan Bao sitting on her shoulders, swallowing hard, her eyes fixed on the sixth message.

"I know you're excited, but please don't get excited yet."

Jiang Qingyue immediately messaged Liu Yuyao: "Is there some mistake? I can understand producing a basin of milk every day. What does it mean to produce a basin of beef every night?"

Does that mean she should scrape it directly with ginger, then use the plant extract to repair it, and then scrape it again the next day?

"I don't know." Liu Yuyao replied quickly: "That's what Wang Dawei wrote, so I'll tell you exactly what he wrote."

Originally, Liu Yuyao wanted to find it herself, since food is always better the more it has, especially meat, which is extremely scarce. But now that Jiang Qingyue is not allowing anyone to enter Quanshui City, she simply added this message to the list, as a way of doing Jiang Qingyue a favor.

Since Liu Yuyao doesn't know either, then let's search. Quanshui City is her territory now; if she lets out her zombie army to search, how could she not find a single cow?

Jiang Qingyue yelled at the zombie king president, who was enjoying the cold wind at the cave entrance, "After we go back tomorrow, you order the zombies to find me a cow, and bring it back when they find it."

Fearing it had never seen a cow before, Jiang Qingyue took out her phone from her spatial storage and showed it various pictures of cows: "Remember, it roughly looks like this, a four-legged creature. Bring it back to me whenever you find one, whether it's real or not."

The Corpse King CEO nodded to indicate that he understood, hesitated for a moment, and then pointed inside to Jiang Qingyue.

"You want to come in?" Jiang Qingyue asked.

The Corpse King CEO nodded frantically.

Jiang Qingyue scoffed, "You're a zombie, you don't even know what it feels like to be cold? What are you doing here?"

After saying that, he left again with her rabbit in his arms, leaving the Corpse King CEO standing bewildered at the cave entrance.

Is this a matter of whether it's cold or not?

This is a matter of status!

It got dark, and it was even darker inside the cave. Even though their eyesight was excellent and the darkness didn't hinder their movements, Jiang Qingyue still took out a powerful flashlight for illumination, since it was pitch black and she just didn't feel comfortable with it.

Then they took out two large hot pots from their space, handed the one with more meatballs to Yan Bao, and the two of them ate to their hearts' content in the earthen cave.

After eating, I used hot water to wash Yanbao's dirty little paws clean. Too lazy to take bedding from my space to make the bed, I simply held Yanbao in my arms and rested against the wall, stroking the little rabbit's fur absentmindedly.

Jiang Qingyue only stopped stroking Yan Bao's hair after Yan Bao's breathing had stabilized.

He multitasked while keeping an eye on the situation outside.

The Corpse King CEO is a cunning fellow, not someone you can completely rely on, especially when it comes to the safety of Yan Bao and yourself, you can't be careless.

The rest of my attention was spent reviewing the day's events.

She had always wondered why, even though they all had 100,000 combat power, their rankings were different.

Now she understands that there is a huge gap between 100,000 combat power and 100,000 combat power.

Based on the fight between Liu Yuyao, Chen Sanyang, and Wang Longhua at the bottom of the valley, and the speed at which Wang Longhua and the big guy sneaked up from the bottom of the cliff to ambush her, it can be inferred that...

A person with 100,000 combat power is actually a level weaker than the top masters in martial arts novels.

In terms of speed, they are about the same. They can easily scale walls and climb cliffs. As long as there is a point of leverage, they can move freely, much like the light-footed skills in martial arts novels.

In close combat, they were almost the same. Wang Longhua was like someone who had mastered the Iron Shirt and Golden Bell techniques, Liu Yuyao was an assassin, and Chen Sanyang was a master of the knife.

The only thing it can't compare to in martial arts masters is that it can't injure people from a distance, which is equivalent to not having internal energy to project.

This is also why she was able to maintain the upper hand even when facing multiple opponents, thanks to the ranged attack advantage of the Snow Concealment Bow.

However, in terms of weaponry, it is much stronger than the weapons of those martial arts practitioners.

Her Snow Concealment Bow is no ordinary weapon; it's more like a magical artifact from a fantasy world.

There's also Long Jiuxing's Blazing Heaven Cudgel, which can change size and be moved at will, just like the Ruyi Jingu Bang (Monkey King's Staff).

Therefore, it seems that when the combat power reaches 200,000, it may have transcended the limits of humanity, which should correspond to those cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation, who have reached the point where they can fly in the air without relying on external forces.

Jiang Qingyue slowly opened her eyes. None of the six messages from Liu Yuyao were anything to be happy about.

Regarding the physical body, the only way Jiang Qingyue knows to strengthen it, besides taking constitution-enhancing potions, is to frantically use crystal cores to build up combat power. As combat power increases, the physique will also gradually transform.

There is no other way.

Using the power of ice and snow for cultivation, I don't know if it's feasible. I asked Liu Yuyao, but she didn't know either. According to Wang Dawei, even in his previous life, only Long Jiuxing knew how to use the power of ice and snow for cultivation.

In this life, Long Jiuxing is still struggling in the zombie base.

With a reach of her hand, she took out the two quantum computers that she had previously placed in her space, one belonging to Wang Longhua and the other to that big guy.

She planned to split one with Long Jiuxing.

He held the two quantum computers in his hands for a long time, then put them both back into his spatial storage. He planned to give the big quantum computer to Longlong when he got back.

She doesn't plan to use Wang Longhua's; she'll keep it.

She didn't know when she could go to the first experimental zone, nor did she know if she had the ability to find a time machine to revive her parents, but she still held onto a sliver of hope.

If he could be resurrected, Wang Longhua's quantum computer could be used by his mother or father. The quantum computer itself is secondary; the main thing is that Wang Longhua consumed a candy that granted him a hundred years of lifespan.

Wang Longhua is only in his thirties, and his hundred-year lifespan is still intact, which he can pass on to the next successor. His parents are getting old, and they need that hundred-year lifespan.

With her eyes closed again, Jiang Qingyue planned out the future in her mind over and over again.

Once Mom and Dad are resurrected, the God's experiment should be over. Then we can take them back to Spring City and reopen our little shop.

I can make lots of beef balls for Yanbao and Zaizai, and they can go mushroom picking with Mom during the rainy season and go fishing with Dad in the winter...

Alternatively, we could find a suitable and auspicious place to live in other experimental zones or on other planets, and build a small estate there.

I wonder if the elderly couple would be willing to have a second child?

After all, she has no intention of having children, so the Jiang family line will end.

I dozed off for a while, and then it was dawn. I looked down and saw the fluffy little rabbit sleeping soundly with its little paws curled up.

Jiang Qingyue gently unzipped her coat, pulled the little guy inside, zipped it up again, held the bow in one hand, and gently hugged Yan Bao through her clothes with the other before walking out of the cave.

As soon as she came out, she saw the Corpse King CEO resting his chin on his hands, looking at the sky with a mournful expression, not even making a move when she came out.

Jiang Qingyue narrowed her eyes. Was this guy tired of living?

Lift your foot directly.

With a "biu," the Corpse King CEO flew through the air in a graceful arc like a soccer ball, then crashed to the bottom of the cliff with a "whoosh."

After a while, the guy crawled up, clutching his kicked butt, his face now showing its usual expressionless face instead of the mournful look he had given.

Jiang Qingyue raised her chin in satisfaction, signaling it to lead the way.

The Corpse King CEO eagerly stepped forward and began searching for its own kind. Its tactful nature pleased Jiang Qingyue.

That makes sense. How could a zombie have so many worries?

And no one will comfort you.

[Congratulations to Huang Yali, captain of "Hope Base," for completing the hidden quest: 1314 confessions to the main god. Reward: 60,000 trading coins and a special item—the Spider Lily Mask.]

The sudden announcement made Jiang Qingyue stop in her tracks. She read the notice three times before finally exclaiming, "This is allowed?"

More than a thousand confessions of love, wow, it's only been a little over two hundred days since the beginning of the apocalypse, which means Huang Yali confessed her love to the Eternal Winter God at least several times a day.

Furthermore, this information likely wasn't bought from Liu Yuyao, because this hidden mission is very easy to complete. If Liu Yuyao knew about this hidden mission, she could simply confess her feelings over a thousand times in a single day to complete it; she wouldn't possibly let someone else have that opportunity.

In other words, Huang Yali kept testing the waters and persisting even though she wasn't sure if doing this would trigger the hidden quest.

Putting everything else aside, with that kind of perseverance alone, this woman will succeed at anything she does.

If it were her, and she failed even once, she would have given the God of Eternal Winter a thorough dressing-down.

She wasn't envious of the reward at all.

However... we could try a different approach.

As Jiang Qingyue walked, she cursed, "The Eternal Winter God is an idiot! The Eternal Winter God is a complete idiot..."

She decided to curse her every now and then, and maybe if she accumulated 10,000 curses, she could get an award.
