safe house.
"Shuai Feng, what are your instructions?"
Not long after, Tang Jun was ordered to Duan Mufeng's room.
Because of the unexpected incident in Dingshengjiayuan, he was just teaching those Tianlong Guards who had neglected their duties. Although Feng Shuai did not pursue the faults of those few people, as the captain, he could not pretend that nothing had happened and must be severely punished to set an example for others.
"Choose ten capable people and follow me to the Energy Bureau."
Duan Mufeng, who was leaning on the back of the sofa, slowly opened his eyes, sat up, and said lightly.
“Finally turning on the heating?!”
After hearing Duan Mufeng's words, Tang Jun's face immediately showed a hint of joy, and he couldn't help but ask loudly.
"it's time."
Duan Mufeng nodded and said lightly.
"Great! I'm going to find someone now!"
Tang Jun happily agreed and hurriedly turned around and walked out.
Once the heating system is turned on, everyone living in the high-tech park will no longer have to worry about being frozen to death, and the panic caused by today's incident will also be relieved.
"Wait a moment."
But at this moment, Duanmu Feng spoke again.
Tang Jun was stunned for a moment, then stopped when he reached the door, and turned to look at Duan Mufeng in confusion.
"Don't be too happy. Have you forgotten what we encountered at the geothermal energy space station last time?"
Duanmu Feng asked with a sullen face and a hint of dissatisfaction.
"White Bones Inferi!"
Tang Jun frowned and couldn't help blurting out.
Because so many things had happened recently, he almost forgot that there was a creature in the city that was more terrifying than zombies and mutant beasts.
But speaking of it, not only have zombies and mutated beasts not appeared recently, but even the bones of the Inferi seem to have disappeared.
"Tell everyone that you are likely to encounter them again this time, so be sure to brace yourself and bring heavy firepower to prevent any unexpected events."
Duanmu Feng nodded and said in a deep voice.
"yes!"
After listening to Duan Mufeng's instructions, Tang Jun became serious, agreed in a deep voice, turned around and left the room.
Duan Mufeng slowly stood up from the sofa, picked up the Qi family knife placed on the coffee table, took out half of the blade, took a look, took a deep breath, and walked straight to the door.
In front of the outer fortifications on the first floor, Wu Jun was organizing the Tianlong Guards to register and receive the children sent by the survivors.
At this moment, Duan Mufeng slowly walked out of the building with Tang Jun and ten Tianlong Guards carrying heavy weapons.
"Feng Shuai, where are you going?"
Wu Jun hesitated for a moment, then hurriedly approached Duan Mufeng and asked curiously.
"Go out and do some errands."
Duan Mufeng responded casually, walked straight past Wu Jun, and got into an armored vehicle parked not far away.
Looking at Feng Shuai, who seemed to have a trace of murderous intent on his body, Wu Jun frowned, full of doubts in his heart.
"Old Wu, we won't have to suffer the cold anymore soon."
At this time, Tang Jun happened to pass by Wu Jun, patted Wu Jun on the shoulder, and passed by with a smile.
Wu Jun was stunned for a moment, and then understood instantly.
"be safe!"
Immediately afterwards, Wu Jun shouted at Tang Jun's back.
This time, he was no longer jealous that Feng Shuai had taken Tang Jun with him instead of himself when he went out to do errands. Instead, he sincerely hoped that Tang Jun and others could come back safely.
Everyone in the safe house now knows about the skeletons and ancient tombs under the geothermal energy space station.
Tang Jun didn't say much. He waved to Wu Jun with his back turned as he got in the car.
Soon, the three Sabretooth Tigers started their motors and drove straight towards the Energy Bureau.
...
en route.
Echeng looked much brighter under the sun, and everything became clearly visible. However, because the road was full of snow and ice, the car was moving a little slowly.
On both sides of the road, between buildings and beside abandoned cars, you can see many mutants and mutant beasts sealed by ice. Some are lying on the ground, some are still in action, and there are two mutant beasts. His hind legs stood on the roof of an abandoned car, and his two hind legs were raised high, as if he was preparing to take off before being frozen.
It seems that when the ice season officially arrives, not only humans cannot stand the extreme cold and are frozen, but these mutants and mutant beasts also do not escape.
But fortunately, the temperature will only reach its lowest point after midnight, and will rise again when the sun rises in the morning. Otherwise, all living creatures will be unable to move forward and will be dead.
As for the mutants and mutant beasts that have been frozen, even if the temperature rises during the day, the ice on their bodies cannot melt and can only remain frozen.
"Shuai Feng, it seems that although the Glacier Season is scary, it also helps us deal with these mutants and mutant beasts in disguise. If they are all frozen, wouldn't we be much safer?"
A Tianlongwei who was driving looked at the mutants and mutant beasts on both sides of the road and said slowly, with a smile on his lips.
"They are not dead at all and they will not die."
But Duanmu Feng said coldly.
Hearing Duan Mufeng's words, everyone in the car was stunned for a moment, with doubts on their faces, because the frozen mutants and mutant beasts outside had obviously lost their vital signs. If they were like the two found this morning, If it's the same as an individual, it will shatter into pieces if touched.
"They were no longer alive when they were infected and mutated. Although they can move freely and attack humans, they are no longer living creatures in the traditional sense, so they cannot be called living creatures."
"Although they are now frozen, they will come back to life as soon as the glacier season is over. We called this phenomenon hibernation back then, similar to how snakes hibernate when the temperature is low in winter."
Duan Mufeng glanced at the confused crowd and explained patiently.
"I see."
After hearing Duan Mufeng's answer, Tang Jun nodded and couldn't help but sigh. Others in the car finally understood.
"Does that mean that if we take the initiative, we can wipe them all out before the glacier season ends? Their bodies should be broken by a touch, right?!"
A Tianlongwei sitting in the back row thought for a moment and asked loudly.
"Absolutely not!"
But as soon as the Tianlong Guard finished speaking, he heard Duanmu Feng overturning his assumption without hesitation.
"Why?"
Tang Jun didn't understand either, so he asked the question first without waiting for the Tianlong Guard to ask further questions.
Everyone else also looked at Duanmu Feng attentively. Although the driver had to watch the road while driving, he also hurriedly pricked up his ears.
They couldn't possibly know more about Glacier Season and zombie mutants than Feng Shuai.
"Although it makes sense, once we start clearing out the frozen mutants and mutant beasts on a large scale, we will inevitably attract the revenge of the ice corpses. I am not sure how many ice corpses there are in E City now."
Duanmu Feng frowned and said in a deep voice.
"Ice corpse?!"
Several people in the car were equally at a loss and asked questions in unison.
"Yes, during the ice season, there is a kind of mutant that can move freely in the extreme cold. Not only will they not be frozen, but they will also be faster than at any other time!"
"And in heavy snow, it is easier for them to hide their whereabouts and make them difficult to detect. We usually call this kind of mutant ice zombie! However, the ice zombie must be at least a level two mutant or above, so the number will not be too many, but if they are allowed to gather together If they rise up and attack us, they will be in great trouble.”
"So, unless it is absolutely necessary, we cannot clean up the ordinary mutants and mutant beasts outside that are frozen on a large scale."
Duanmu Feng pondered for a moment, explained seriously, then slowly took out a cigarette and lit it.
After listening to Duanmu Feng's explanation, everyone's faces were full of surprise. They didn't expect there were so many threats, and they couldn't help but give up all their thoughts.
"But what he just said is correct. Although it cannot be cleared in a large area, it can be dispersed. It is not a problem to eliminate a few of them every day."
"After the heating system is turned on, this matter will be handed over to you. Remember, the number of removals cannot exceed twenty in a day, and they must be in different areas and at different times in the city."
Duan Mufeng smiled, turned to look at Tang Jun, and said lightly.
"clear!"
Tang Jun nodded and immediately agreed.
"If you encounter an ice corpse one day, you must not take it lightly. It's best not to confront them head-on, and hide if you can."
Duanmu Feng paused for a moment, then added another sentence.
"yes!"
Everyone in the car hurriedly agreed in unison.
"Feng Shuai, we're almost there."
At this time, Tang Jun, who was sitting behind Duan Mufeng, looked ahead through the windshield and whispered a reminder.
Looking from a distance, the Office Building of the Energy Bureau has appeared in sight...
