Chapter 261: Sluggish Zombies

When he was only two meters away from the man, Zheng Yimu discovered that the man was pulling a group of people lying motionlessly on a simple sled.

Seeing Zheng Yimu approaching, the man breathed a sigh of relief. The man raised his hand, opened his cracked and bluish lips, and then said in a hoarse and weak voice: "Wu- Wu Lin Base..."

Because his voice was too low, Zheng Yimu did not hear clearly what the man said. Before he could ask anything, the man fell to the ground. Behind her, Zhu Lin frowned slightly and said, "If we leave him here, he will die soon."

When the soldiers heard her words, they looked at the man who had just fallen to the ground with complicated eyes. After a moment of silence, Zheng Yimu put down his weapon and said, "These people are already unconscious."

Hearing his words, Zhu Lin and the soldiers walked up to Zheng Yimu. Observing the unconscious man, Zhu Lin thought for a moment, then looked at Zheng Yimu and said, "Captain Zheng, let’s take them back with us."

Zheng Yimu thought for a moment and said, "All right. Let’s bring them back to the base first. I heard this man say the name of our base before he passed out. Since he knows our base, maybe he has something important to do with us because he still came here in this cold weather."

After saying that, he knelt and opened his backpack. After rummaging for a while, Zheng Yimu took out a thermos and said, "Suyou, come here and help me move him to the sled."

"Yes, Captain." Zhao Suyou said and went to pick up the unconscious man.

Putting the unconscious man on the sled, he looked at Zheng Yimu and said, "Captain, they are all frostbitten and their bodies are very cold."

Zheng Yimu nodded, then walked to the sled and fed hot water to the unconscious man and the others. After putting the thermos back into his backpack, he looked at the other soldiers and asked, "Did any of you bring thick blankets?"

The soldiers shook their heads at the same time. Zhao Suyou looked at Zheng Yimu and said, "Captain, our mission is to check the surrounding situation and return to the base before sunset. So, none of us brought blankets."

Hearing what he said, Zheng Yimu looked at the unconscious men and frowned. Zhu Lin, who stood behind the soldiers, raised her hand and said, "I have blankets."

When she said that, Zheng Yimu turned to look at her and said with a smile: "I forgot that Miss Zhu has spatial ability. If you don’t mind, can Miss Zhu lend them a few blankets for a while?"

Zhu Lin nodded and asked, "How many blankets do you need?"

Zheng Yimu looked at the thin clothes of the unconscious men and said, "We need to keep them warm and alive until we reach the base."

Zhu Lin agreed to his words and took out more than six thick and warm blankets made from fire threads. She handed the blanket to Zheng Yimu and said, "These blankets should be enough to keep them warm until you return to the base."

Zheng Yimu took her blankets and covered those unconscious men with them. Seeing that they were well covered, he stood up and said, "Miss Zhu, my subordinates and I are going to take them back to the base. What about you? Do you want to go back with us?"

Zhu Lin thought for a while and said, "I’m going to the frozen lake to check the situation. Captain Zheng, you and the others should go back first."

Hearing what she said, Zheng Yimu nodded and wanted to return the demon core of the lava fish to her, but was stopped by Zhu Lin. She looked at him and said, "You can return the demon core to me later."

Zheng Yimu smiled at her and said, "All right. We will return to base now. Miss Zhu, be careful and come back before sunset."

Zhu Lin nodded to him and said, "Mhm. I will."

After seeing them pulling the sled back to the base, Zhu Lin continued walking towards the frozen lake. Without Zheng Yimu and the others, she activated the Thousand Moon Steps technique while using her divine sense to check the surrounding area. Ten minutes later, she arrived at the frozen lake.

Standing by the frozen lake, Zhu Lin looked down and found that the ice covering the frozen lake seemed not as thick as before. She used her Heavenly Eyes technique to look into the lake through the thick layer of ice. As she looked past the layer of thick ice, she saw a giant fish swallowing a school of fish in one gulp.

Seeing hundreds of fish being swallowed by the giant fish in one fell swoop, Zhu Lin frowned slightly and thought: ’Judging from the rate of temperature rise, it won’t take long for the entire lake to thaw. At that time, this kind of monster would pose a threat to the people in the Wu Lin base. It seems that I need to let Xiu Wu know about this and make preparations as soon as possible.’

After thinking for a while, she walked to the other side of the frozen lake. Based on what Xiu Wu told her before, there should be a secret laboratory below the amusement park near the frozen lake.

If the third cold wave hadn’t come so suddenly, Zhu Lin was sure that Xiu Wu would have taken action against the secret laboratory. Unfortunately, before they could make plans, the third cold wave hit the world.

On the way to the amusement park, Zhu Lin suddenly stopped when she saw a large group of high-ranked zombies following several military vehicles. Looking at the sluggish movement of the zombies, Zhu Lin raised her eyebrows slightly.

Typically, high-ranked zombies could move faster than high-ranked supernatural beings. But the moving speed of this group of high-ranked zombies is only the same as that of second-rank ordinary zombies.

Touching her chin, she stared at those zombies and thought: ’Are those zombies controlled by others?’
