The first city lord?

Xu Fang's first reaction was that he was someone the boss knew. He turned to look at Shen Xiuze, only to find that the other person was also looking at the people outside the door with a strange look on his face.

If you don't know the boss, what are you doing here?

Xu Fang held the door tightly. Even when facing the city lord, he showed no respect at all. Instead, he warned: "You are in the wrong direction." The four people behind the city lord frowned slightly in unison,

very dissatisfied with Xu Fang's dismissive attitude.

On the contrary, the city lord himself was not offended. He smiled slightly with gray hair on his temples: "You are the superpowers who came to Ice and Snow City three days ago. Among them is an explorer named Shen Xiuze. Am I right? ."

Hearing this, Shen Xiuze walked over, and Xu Fang immediately moved away.

"I'm Shen Xiuze, what can I do for you?" Shen Xiuze, not knowing the purpose of the other party's visit, always remained on guard.

"It's too cold outside, can you please come in and sit for a while?" The city lord looked at more and more people outside. He has a high prestige in Ice and Snow City, and he was the city lord of this city before the end of the world. People trust him and support him, and as long as he goes out, he will be watched by everyone. The streets that were originally scattered with a few people become crowded because of his appearance.

When Lin An noticed that strangers were coming, he had already run to the second floor. As long as these people didn't leave, he would never come down, so he didn't have to worry about his zombie identity being discovered.

"Come in."

He led the city lord and four other people into the living room. Ouyang Dong put his head around his apron and took a look. He didn't recognize them before going in again.

Only Wu Duo, who was sitting in front of the window with Grandma Wu, went in and poured a few glasses of boiled water for the guests.

"So, what's the matter with the City Lord's visit?" Shen Xiuze sat on the other side, acting like a master, even more powerful than the City Lord. The people he came into contact with in Ice and Snow City were all explorers in the same industry, and most of the explorers were outspoken people. Even a guy like Lu Li, who liked to put on a show and was a bit sultry, was very straightforward and never made trouble behind his back.

High-ranking officials such as the city lord are people he doesn't usually interact with. These people are very thoughtful in what they say and do, which makes Shen Xiuze find it very troublesome.

It's too much trouble, so leave quickly, he won't see you off.

The city lord didn't know what Shen Xiuze was really thinking, but he knew from his impatient expression that he was not welcome, so he stopped beating around the bush and said, "I heard that you want to go to Baize City by boat." Even he knew this,

look. This city lord has very strict control over the Ice and Snow City.

"Indeed, I am from Baize City, so naturally I want to go home."

The city owner sighed and his expression became serious: "You should know that the sea is very dangerous. All kinds of creatures in the sea have turned into zombies. That is There are existences more terrifying than human zombies. If Ice and Snow City hadn't been on the shore, and there were mazes and newly developed potions, we might have been wiped out long ago." "I know, but returning to Baize

City was decided from the beginning. , will not change again."

The city lord looked at the resolute young man across from him, was silent for a moment, and then said: "I know that there are fire power users and plant power users among you, and there may even be space power users. , these are the scarce talents in Ice and Snow City. I originally planned to recruit you this time, but it seems that it will not succeed. However, I hope that you can help as much as possible in the past few days before the ship is finished, such as in When the zombie wave comes, help kill some larger zombies, and whether the plant-type superpower can help catalyze some plants, there is really too little food here." After speaking,

the city lord even stood up and said, Bowing to Shen Xiuze, several people behind him looked at the city lord in shock, not expecting that he would do this.

The other party's attitude was very sincere, but Shen Xiuze was unmoved. He avoided the other party's bow, looked at the city lord with his sharp red phoenix eyes, and suddenly said: "I don't know if the city lord knows where else there are ships in Ice and Snow City." , preferably with better quality."

Help is okay, but you need to be paid.

The city lord understood and immediately said that there was still a small ship in the city. Although it was somewhat damaged, he would ask the shipwrights in the city to work hard and give it to them when it was completed.

At the same time, they will send more manpower to work on the ships they are currently building at the shipyard. Ice and Snow City lacks everything except shipwrights.

When the city lord left, Xu Fang, who had been silent for a long time, wondered: "Didn't we already buy a boat? Why do we need another one?"

Shen Xiuze stared at Lin An who quietly came down from the second floor and answered Xu Fang. Question: "Didn't you hear what the city lord said? It's very dangerous on the sea. Since he wants us to help with things, then we need an extra ship, which is safer. The ship we replaced before is not big, and I don't know. How long can you last at sea without being bitten by zombies?"

Xu Fang: "...bitten by zombies?"

He finally remembered that the sea was not their territory. There were all kinds of zombie fish everywhere in the sea. When the time comes, the ship If it is destroyed, they will fall into the sea!

Two ships are not enough!

Can I have a few more ships?

Shen Xiuze didn't seem to worry about this problem at all and sent Ouyang Dong out to follow the city lord's people to catalyze the plants.

Ouyang Dong had a strange look on his face when he came back that night. During dinner, he mentioned to everyone that when he catalyzed plants with other plant-type superpowers in the city, he found that his catalytic speed was the fastest. Others may need one to three times to catalyze plants. He can catalyze the fruits that can be catalyzed in a matter of days almost instantly.

"What's wrong? You showed your skills to other people with superpowers and everyone admires you?" Xu Fang teased while eating.

"How can I? I'm not you. I still know how to hide my clumsiness. Otherwise, what if the city lord thinks I'm so powerful and holds me back and won't let me go? So I just show a little faster than others."

Ouyang Dong gestured a little distance with his hand: "But that's not my focus. Today, several people with superpowers talked to me. Overtly and covertly, it was very dangerous outside. If you go to the sea, you will be eaten by zombies until all your bones are left. As well as their treatment in Ice and Snow City, their level of respect, etc."

"Is this to recruit you?" Xu Fang put down the bowl, waved his hand holding the chopsticks, and almost hit Ouyang Dong: "I approve, you Just stay here and shine, maybe you will be a popular candidate for the next city lord."

"Go away, I won't leave. I don't know what is going on outside. I just feel that this city lord asked me to go there. To help, the main thing is to recruit and win over, and he may also recruit you in the next few days."

Shen Xiuze naturally knew that after all, Ice and Snow City may be in urgent need of plant-type superpowers, but they are not needed to fight zombies. With the maze and Potion, every zombie wave can be successfully repelled, but they really can't help much.

The city lord's main intention was to recruit them, to show them how terrifying the zombie wave coming from the sea was, and that the Ice and Snow City was the safest place.

But he made the wrong calculation. They were not that weak and would not be recruited at all.

Needless to say, Xu Fang followed the boss wholeheartedly. Ouyang Dong seems to be the easiest to recruit, but he can persist alone for half a year and try countless times to break through the zombie swarm, just for a slim hope. How can such a person shake his belief so easily.

Shen Xiuze: "Be low-key these days and don't show off."

Nick sat on a stool and ate quietly. Although he was a little dissatisfied with his mother's approach, Nick was very good and polite, and he was small and thin. He was short, and no one would say bad things to him who was only four years old. Anyway, he was only here for a few days, so he still had his share of every meal.

But every time Nick came, Lin An hid upstairs.

He hasn't seen Nick at all in the past three days. He doesn't need to eat. It's okay if he doesn't go down. Just leave him alone.

On the fourth day in the Ice and Snow City, the zombies finally arrived.

From Little Nick's mouth, I learned that it had been five days since the last zombie attack. Sometimes there would be several batches of zombies in a day. These days were a rare day of peace.

Shen Xiuze, Lin An and Xu Fang went to help outside the city, Ouyang Dong continued to catalyze plants, and Wu Duo took care of Grandma Wu at home.

The Ice and Snow City is at the top of the tallest iceberg nearby, and the entire iceberg is a series of winding passages from the foot of the mountain. In addition, there are various strange ice sculptures and ice plants above the passages, so even from the top of the mountain, you cannot see the entire iceberg clearly. Overall view of the maze.

In the distance, zombies were pouring in like a tidal wave of darkness. Most of them were common fish in the sea. The fish that originally only had fins had grown limbs. They were somewhat similar to the giant salamanders that Lin An had seen in books, but they were ferocious. The ugliness is still worthy of being called a zombie.

A mouth full of sharp fangs protruded from the fish's mouth. At the same time, the fish's eyes also protruded. The body swayed from side to side, and its limbs crawled rapidly.

"Hiss, this is the diversity of species." Xu Fang sighed. Ever since he faced the Zombie Emperor, he has become much more tolerant of zombies. It is actually normal for fish to grow like this. It is better than the Zombie Emperor. many.

Even though there was a dense crowd, it was still not very friendly to his trypophobia.

There are also some huge whales, seals, penguins, etc. among the zombie fish. In short, every one of them looks ugly. Either they have no fur and only the bloody flesh inside, or some part of their body is severely mutated.

These marine creatures all headed towards the ice and snow city, and soon came under the iceberg and entered the maze.

The small zombie fish squeezed the road made of ice and snow into a black mass, while the large cetacean zombies directly overwhelmed the ice wall between the mazes. The ice wall, which was only more than two meters high, was not enough to see in front of the cetacean zombies.

Seeing that more and more of the ice wall was being destroyed, the city lord finally spoke and asked the prepared residents to take out the potion.

Shen Xiuze and others looked in the direction of the city gate. A strong man of more than ten years, fully armed, came out carrying metal buckets. Each bucket was full of green viscous liquid.

Lin An hid behind Shen Xiuze and looked around. The liquid in those barrels smelled bad.

Following the city lord's order, people carrying buckets poured the green liquid onto the road.

These green viscous liquids immediately made a sizzling sound, directly melting the ice below. However, the entire mountain was an iceberg, and the thickness was not something that could be completely melted by such a small amount of medicine.

The melted ice water mixed with green potion snaked downwards. The farther down, the faster the ice melted and flowed downwards. In the end, it even spread to most of the maze roads.

When the fish zombies trying to climb up came into contact with the green potion, it was as if they were suddenly put into scalding boiling water. The fish zombies opened their mouths, and their bodies jumped up and down wildly, using their unskilled limbs. They fled in all directions, but their fleeing speed became slower and slower, because their entire bodies were slowly melting under the soaking of green potion.

Red and black blood continued to flow downward together with the green potion, and more and more fish were melted together with their bones.

The zombies behind them stepped on the unmelted corpses of their kind and continued to rush forward, but when they reached a certain height, they would be covered by the newly poured green potion.

Shen Xiuze, Lin An, and Xu Fang stood there in silence, looking down at the zombie fish being destroyed, and even the corpses turned into water.

Because of the huge size of the zombie whale, only the bottom part of the body was melted during the climb up, while other parts were still intact.

These zombie whales, which cannot even be dealt with by potions, are the main targets of the superpowers when they clean up the battlefield.

Buckets of potion were poured down, and the number of zombie fish became fewer and fewer. Finally, only a small number remained, as well as huge cetacean zombies.

At this time, the city lord ordered his men to distribute a bag to all superpowers.

Shen Xiuze opened it and found that there was a protective suit inside, but this protective suit was used to prevent superpower users from accidentally coming into contact with the potion and melting it.

Xu Fang looked at the thin layer of protective clothing in his hand, and then at the zombie fish turning into blood at the foot of the mountain, and suddenly he didn't want to think about it anymore.

Oh my god, so scary.

Accidentally, not even the whole body was found.
