After easily sneaking into the base, You Huan used his super sense vision to carefully inspect the entire base.

The base was rebuilt on the basis of a village and there are no high-rise buildings around it.

Within the walls with an average height of three meters, there are 81 households scattered around, most of whom live alone, with a total population of 105 people.

...but it includes some very strange visual "humans"...

In the field of vision composed of colorful blocks, there was a human being with extremely high heat and extremely irregular thermal motion. He seemed to have noticed the peeping and turned around suddenly!

"Witley, did you find anything?" The person standing next to the tall man asked with his head tilted.

"…" Whitley frowned and looked around, but his sharp eyes, honed through countless battles, did not see anything.

He shook his head slightly: "Nothing."

You Huan in the distance withdrew his gaze and focused on the situation of ordinary people in this base...or rather, the small camp.

Most people, like the young boy and the old man who had just returned to the camp, were dressed and armed in very simple clothes. Many of them even had pale faces and thin bodies, and it seemed that they had not eaten for a long time.

In the quick glance just now, he found that there was not much food here, and the drinking water came from a local well, which now seemed to be on the verge of drying up.

No wonder in the conversation between the uncle and the boy, it was revealed that this camp wanted to expand its territory into the territory of the Ice Plague.

Although the Ice Plague's territory was covered with heavy snow and the temperature was extremely low, this environment also allowed a large amount of supplies to be safely preserved. In the past, with this corpse beast guarding it, not many people dared to steal the supplies.

If you can adapt to the cold, wind and snow can also become a natural barrier.

As he was thinking about this, You Huan suddenly felt a pair of eyes fixed on him!

A wisp of snow in the air suddenly turned and fell between the temporary buildings that were casually built with iron sheets, sandbags and other things.

Transforming back into his original form, he randomly picked a lucky building and easily jumped into it through the gap.

The gaze that was locked on him disappeared, but the sense of crisis that came from biological instinct still existed. The owner of the gaze was patrolling nearby using a sensing method other than vision.

He stepped back into the building and felt something hit his back.

Looking up, he saw the young man who had followed him all the way standing behind him, with his back against the wall, still with an expression as if a giant cockroach had pounced on his face.

But this time the boy had no way to retreat. He lowered his head stiffly and looked at the fluffy ball of hair that touched his feet.

The boy saw this thing and glanced at himself again.

Damn it, he thought.

He actually saw calmness and a hint of... contempt in the eyes of this thing?

"Rustle..." Suddenly, the huge ball of hair attached to his feet began to move, and it "moved" horizontally at an extremely fast speed.

The boy subconsciously raised his hand, but it was too late. The strange thing almost flew past his eyes, then fell into the shadows of the scattered debris in the cottage and disappeared.

"…"

What's scarier than a giant southern cockroach?

It's a giant southern cockroach that you've seen before but then disappeared right before your eyes.

Of course You Huan did not leave, he just hid easily in the home of this young man with a rather messy lifestyle, listened to the noise of him rummaging through things, and shook his long hair at the same time.

——A snow-white thing with a round head poked out from under his hair, and then the second one, and the third one...

"Chichichi!"

With a faint cry, little creatures like small snowflakes crawled out from under the fur and floated into the air.

"Chiji~chiji!" The cheerful cry of one of the little creatures was interrupted by a claw that was very large compared to it.

You Huan raised his right front paw, grabbed a small thing at the tip of his paw, and observed it carefully.

The front paws of this body had five digits, similar to carnivores, but had longer claws than most carnivores.

A small thing was squeezed between the two claws, about one-tenth the size of his eye.

If you look closely at its carapace, you will find that it is actually made up of a large number of short hairs that resemble snowflakes, and underneath the round carapace are six short legs.

——This thing is the [Symbiote] in the monster card talent. You Huan named it "Snow Dust Bug".

These tiny creatures are symbiotic life forms of this body. They usually live in his hair and survive by absorbing the heat brought by his [cooling physique].

Snow dust bugs themselves also have cooling capabilities, but compared to him, their cooling capabilities are quite weak.

In addition, they will also eat the body waste produced by him...which is equivalent to carrying a body cleaning device with them.

He provides food and shelter for these little creatures, and they follow his instructions and can be used for reconnaissance and pathfinding.

The short hair on their backs can direct the cold substances around them to a certain extent, that is, they can control blizzards.

Of course, You Huan didn't need them to control the wind and snow at the moment - based on their current quantity, they could only guide a small column of snow at most.

After being released, the snow dust worms immediately changed the nature of the short hair on their backs, floating naturally in the air, and extended a pair of hexagonal snowflake-shaped crystal wings, which allowed them to change their flight direction and accelerate.

Soon, these snow-like creatures flew into every corner of the small camp.

As a symbiotic subject, You Huan can learn about their observations through telepathy.

Since his own observations had repeatedly been met with counter-observations, he might as well use these inconspicuous little creatures like dust to observe on his behalf.

Soon, the snow dust worm brought him back detailed information about the camp through its extremely tiny perspective.

The distribution of people in the camp was secondary. The most important thing was... He learned an important concept from the conversations of these people -

"Uncle, that creature followed us into the camp! I heard that our water source has been infected by the [Black Dust]. Could it be that it was attracted by the Black Dust?"

Amid the muffled conversation, the boy who had briefly left the house came back with the uncle.

The "black dust" he mentioned is the important basic intelligence obtained by the snow dust worms.

"...More than just a water source... Actually..." The uncle hesitated and finally changed the subject, "We must find it as soon as possible. Its existence will increase the black dust content in our base. Our purifier is broken..."

——Twenty years ago, this world suddenly experienced an unprecedented zombie crisis.

Humans, animals, and even plants began to rot without warning and then die.

And from the corpses of living creatures, new life was born - monsters called zombies and corpse beasts.

These resurrected monsters often have a high level of intelligence and can develop civilization, but they are extremely bloodthirsty and warlike. Compared with socializing, planting and animal husbandry, they prefer to do one thing -

Eat the lives in this world that have not turned into monsters.

As the dominant civilized creature in the world, humans are of moderate size and have good meat quality, so they naturally become the most common food for zombies and corpse beasts, especially the former.

Five years after the outbreak of the "Zombie Crisis", the culprit that caused the disaster finally revealed its tracks due to the increase in concentration -

It is a tiny substance named "Black Dust". It is this substance that invades the body of living things, causing the decay, death and rebirth of life as a monster.

When the concentration of black dust is high, it will appear as a black smoke and wreak havoc on the world.

"…It might still be in this room. I heard some strange noises…"

"Quick, we have to find it and kill it!"

"Uncle, should we report this incident? The corpse beast must be purified by the White Knight, right?"

"… Let's find it first."

Amid the sounds of the two talking and rummaging through boxes, You Huan also managed to gather more information with the help of the snow dust bugs.

[Black Dust] now exists in most living things in this world. The only difference between monsters and non-monsters is concentration and quality.

Black dust is the source of the abilities of zombies and corpse beasts, and it also transforms ordinary people to a certain extent, allowing them to barely have the ability to fight monsters.

Humans must kill and purify zombies and corpse beasts as soon as possible, otherwise the high concentration of black dust in their bodies is likely to invade the human body.

Monsters, especially zombies, also love to chase human traces and attack human camps to obtain food and spread black dust.

"Level 1 alert, a group of zombies are approaching!"

Just as the boy and the uncle were anxiously searching for a large ball of hair, an anxious voice came from outside the house, accompanied by a special alarm, resounding throughout the camp.

"roar..."

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, a roar that was not human sounded from a place close at hand. (End of this chapter)
