MTLNOVEL Chapter 430 Frozen Zombies
"I can't see anything, can we even keep going in this..."
Looking outside at the blizzard, Qu Shilin's face showed some worry.
"Don't worry, we can make it."
Han Rui patted her on the shoulder next to her.
With Wang Tao and her around, it was pretty much like having radar on, so it wasn't a big problem.
Qu Shilin wasn't worried about running into monsters or zombies; she knew well enough how strong Wang Tao and his people were. She was concerned about the dangers of nature. Now that the ground was covered in snow and nothing was visible, nobody knew what lay beneath it. If they fell into a deep pit, they might not be able to get out...
But since she had chosen to follow Wang Tao out here, she had implicitly agreed to take on the risk and was mentally prepared for it. Moreover, in terms of outdoor adventure, they were the professionals, and she had no experience in that area, so she just chose to trust them.
"Alright, I trust you guys!"
Qu Shilin nodded and then turned her gaze to the two little ferrets frolicking with Lightning on one side.
"But I actually hope we do run into some zombies, because I'm very curious about what their Fusion Awakening will look like!"
Seeing those two cute creatures, Han Rui also laughed.
"I'm looking forward to it too! But when those ferrets hatched from the eggs, it felt so strange... I even thought there would be some sort of bird or insect inside them at that time!"
"Haha, me too! But this is the end times, after all; any outrageous thing that happens isn't surprising."
Qu Shilin laughed heartily. In fact, she had even thought that if something hatched from the eggs, it might become material for her experiments, but watching the little ferret being so cute, she couldn't bear it as her experiments did indeed come with certain risks...
"Oh right, I haven't named it yet!"
When Qu Shilin heard Wang Tao call out 'Little Bing,' she suddenly remembered this issue.
Wang Tao immediately turned his face.
"Mine is called Little Bing, and yours will be called Little Huo, I think that's a pretty good name."
Wang Tao thought that names should be easy to remember, not necessarily nice to listen to. How easy to remember Little Bing and Little Huo were!
"Sure! Let's call it Little Huo then!"
Qu Shilin, much like Wang Tao, didn't care much about names, as long as they were easy to remember.
The girls next to them immediately gave Wang Tao a glare; they had wanted to help pick a nicer-sounding name, but Wang Tao had beaten them to it.
Wang Tao pretended not to have seen anything, and from the other side, Qu Shilin called out.
"Little Huo, from now on your name is Little Huo!"
Mutant beasts generally have a higher intelligence, and the intelligence of these two little ferrets was probably no less than Lightning's; it clearly understood Qu Shilin's words.
Chirp chirp—
Little Huo chirped and then ran onto Qu Shilin's shoulder, licking her cheek.
"Oh, that tickles~"
Qu Shilin was quite ticklish and instinctively reached up to brush Little Huo away, but Little Huo was very agile, running from the top of her head to her other shoulder and continuing to lick her.
"It seems like Little Huo is more lively than Little Bing..."
Wang Tao stroked Little Bing's small head as it lay on Lightning's head. Little Bing slightly squinted its eyes as if thoroughly enjoying it.
Speaking of which, although both of these little ferrets were Level 4, Mutant Beast Lords, they were quite small in size, unlike other mutant beasts Wang Tao had seen. Although Lightning appeared small too, that wasn't its true size; its actual size was quite large.
Wang Tao guessed that these two mutant beasts might have physical strengths that were relatively ordinary compared to other mutant beasts... it all depended on their Awakening. Wang Tao was still very much looking forward to their Fusion Awakening.
"I hope some zombies show up..."
The more you hope to encounter something, the less likely it is to appear.
The Crystal Energy Car had been traveling through the blizzard for two hours and hadn't even brushed against a single one.
"Could all these zombies be buried under the snow?"
Wang Tao furrowed his brow.
"Are we not going to see any zombies?"
Qu Shilin quickly asked.
"That's unlikely. The route we're on was provided by City Hall, it's the area that was mentioned before, where a large number of zombies got frozen. Even if there are no zombies along the way, there should still be some there..."
Wang Tao explained.
He hadn't come out here to wander aimlessly, but with a planned route. According to the information from City Hall, they had discovered five large zombie hordes, all of which had been slowed by the heavy snowfall.
Wang Tao planned to check these zombie hordes in order, surely they'd encounter some zombies, right? If they went through all five hordes without seeing a single one, then it would just mean Wang Tao had bad luck—there was nothing that could be done.
"Frozen zombies, huh? Does that mean we can kill them as we please?"
Qu Shilin's eyes lit up.
"In theory, that's the case. But since half a month has passed, anything unexpected can happen..."
Wang Tao felt as long as the information was accurate, it was highly probable the zombies would be there since most zombies had low intelligence. If they couldn't move, they probably just would not move. But Wang Tao didn't speak in absolutes since anything could happen.
"If there really are some frozen zombies, could you let me kill a few?"
Qu Shilin's eyes sparkled with anticipation as she looked at Wang Tao.
She had killed zombies before, but that was a long time ago. Moreover, the way she killed zombies was different from ordinary people who went into the wild to kill them. She needed it for research, so she required others to bring the zombies to her for dissection... that's how she gained her HP and Level.
