Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus-Chapter 769 - 589: Black Snow, Natural Camouflage (3/7, asking for monthly ticket)
The night after the rain mixed with snow.
It turned into goose-down-like snowflakes.
But these white snowflakes, carried a tinge of black.
They were volcanic ashes floating in the atmosphere.
Black snow.
The acid rain had stopped, but black snow had come.
It was both good and bad.
Acid rain penetrated everywhere, the flowing liquid was corrosive.
Snow, at least, was not like acid rain that one could get wet by accidentally.
Snow, as long as it does not melt, its corrosiveness is not strong.
The downside is that the weather has become much colder.
It was still night, and those zombies outside could still move.
It seems that after the previous high temperatures, the zombies’ skin had changed, their pores shrank, almost invisible.
It isolated the heat, and also the cold.
These zombies, more resistant to the cold than before, which was terrifying news.
....
Big Camphor Tree Base.
With the sudden drop in temperature, the fence walls, originally wet from acid rain, quickly froze into an ice wall that became slippery.
Li Yu stood atop the ice wall, looking down at the numerous zombies below, still many, but stacking them up was a bit more difficult than before.
There were still so many that they could stack up against the wall.
These zombies seemed unaffected by the drop in temperature, still tirelessly roaring and climbing the walls.
Snowflakes fluttered, landing on Li Yu’s hat.
Li Yu watched atop the fence for a while, then went straight into the duty room.
The duty room had the heating on, and warm air was blowing towards him.
Li Yu removed his hat at the door and shook off the snowflakes.
Then, he patted off the snow from his clothes.
Inside the duty room, Li Hang and Li Tie were both leaning back in their chairs, betting on the zombies shown in the camera feed.
Lately, they had been a bit bored, not needing to stay on the fence all the time during their shifts, but just taking turns.
So, the rest of the time, they watched the surveillance screen.
Lately, they had come up with some new little games, betting on which zombie would be hit and then going out to shoot them with a crossbow.
Now, Dapao, still on the wall, was taking a shot at a zombie.
Li Hang and Li Tie saw from the surveillance screen that the arrow accurately hit the zombie they had chosen in the duty room.
"Done! Lost this round too," Li Hang sighed after seeing the zombie get hit.
Li Yu didn’t stop their game; after all, their duty shifts were long, eight hours, and constantly watching zombies could get boring.
After entering the duty room from the wall, Li Tie just glanced at him and then ignored him.
Li Yu took out his phone, put on headphones, and clicked play to a melodious song.
He wondered if the artist was still alive.
Shaking his head, he didn’t let his thoughts dwell on it any longer, considering it a waste of time.
Then wearing his hat, he walked out of the duty room.
He needed to inspect the fence as usual to see if there were any emergencies.
....
Second Outer City of Big Camphor Tree Base.
Heating was also provided, but they still needed to generate electricity manually.
Due to the temperature drop, many people did not mind the cramped space, bringing their work into the hall.
The already narrow place became even narrower.
But, they felt fortunate.
Thinking back to the icy weather last year, they had struggled so much.
Then, they had used any combustible material around them, cotton, wood, even beds, just for heating.
But now, they stayed indoors without having to worry about it.
Consequently, some people found the basement warm and relatively spacious, so more people emerged in the Plantation.
An Ya passed this information to Li Yu, and after consideration, he didn’t stop them.
After all, it was cold and the space was cramped.
However, they needed to be more careful with the things in the Underground Plantation. Li Yu had specifically asked He Chao to emphasize this and had more extra staff to guard it.
...
Li Yu stayed in the duty room for eight hours and then left.
The ground had accumulated three inches thick of snow, but the temperature had not dropped further after reaching minus six degrees.
Just coming down from the wall, Li Yu walked on the road with one step deep, one step shallow.
The fluttering black snowflakes made his hat heavier, and by the time he reached his residence, his hat was loaded with snowflakes.
Li Yu took off his coat and went back to his room.
Life in the apocalypse could also be boring.
Danger and excitement were the norm, but once accustomed, it would feel quite mundane.
Only when Li Yu returned to his room could he truly relax.
Entering his room, he turned on the heating, brewed a cup of hot tea.
Then he went to the bathroom for a quick wash, dressed in pajamas, and sat on the couch.
He turned on the projector, having not watched a movie for a long time.
He browsed through the content library and found a classic movie.
Sipping the hot tea, he pressed the play button.
Li Yu didn’t think about anything, just watched the movie.
Two hours later, feeling sleepy, he went to bed.
This was his adjustment in the apocalypse.

Black snow continued to fall everywhere.
The world, already steeped in darkness, became even darker.
Previously, flashlights could still reflect some light to see things clearer.
