Chapter 495: Chapter Four Hundred and Ninety-Five: The First Snow Falls
Everyone suddenly understood, so this Teleportation Array, is it that wherever the Space owner enters and activates it, it will teleport people to that location?
Luckily, they hadnât activated it halfway through the journey.
âHmm⊠itâs quite covert. Xiao Jin, donât worry, none of us will use this Formation to go to your room without good reason, especially since it costs Crystal Cores,â
Su Xiangzhe said.
Su Jin wanted to say she wasnât worried, but at this moment, everyone was happily chattering away.
âHahaha, but weâve finally succeeded, eh? From now on, even if we travel far, itâs only a one-way trip,â
Lu Guanhai said, dancing with joy. This feature was very convenient in the Apocalypse.
âIndeed, we can save half the time now,â
Su Jin was also somewhat happy. Although the Teleportation Array had cost everyone some Crystal Cores, once activated, it could be used indefinitely, which really was a convenient thing.
âAlright, everyone has been busy for half the day, letâs hurry up and rest,â
Li Xiuying instructed. Although they hadnât left the base to kill zombies these past few days, everyone was still busy with all sorts of things. Now that it was deep into the night outside, it was time to rest.
âŠ
Outside the Wood Spirit Space, the night was as dark as ink.
Lian Jiyue sniffed the coolness in the air and pushed open the door to the villaâs rooftop.
Snowflakes, pristine and white, gently descended from the pitch-black sky, landing on the tip of his nose, his hair, and his shoulders.
The snowflakes felt so familiar.
Lian Jiyue walked to the bench in the middle and sat down, looking up at the night sky.
His straight nose made the sockets of his eyes appear even deeper, but if Lian Ze saw Lian Jiyue at this moment, he would definitely notice a hint of a smile in his eyes.
Lian Ze, huh?
He remembered that was the name Qiqi mentioned.
Why did this name, like these snowflakes, always carry a sense of familiarity?
But this feeling of familiarity caused the smile in his eyes to fade, replaced by waves of irritability.
The snow kept falling heavier, and gradually a cold wind started to blow.
Dressed in just a light garment, Lian Jiyue shook his head like an animal to dispel his irritability, then walked back towards the door.
Whoever was looking for him, he had to stay here, stay by her side.
He remembered something Lin Xiuyuan said today, not knowing which lucky guy would benefit in the future.
At that moment, he actually wanted to say that he wouldnât let her be a bargain for any lucky guy, if he could always stay by her side, wouldnât that mean she wouldnât need to be a bargain for anyone else?

Liao Yifan was awoken early in the morning by the cold.
Because the base was heated at night, she had long since swapped her thick quilt for a thinner one, but she vividly remembered being cold all night.
âI thought it was just a dreamâŠâ
Liao Yifan muttered as she looked at the pure white world outside.
It had snowed.
The roads outside, the rooftops, the cars, were all enveloped in a thick layer of white snow, and the snow was still falling now.
Thump, thump, thump.
The door was being knocked on, and Guo Yang outside couldnât wait to call out Liao Yifanâs name.
âFanfan, Fanfan, Iâve brought you some down jackets. Come pick a few, you shouldnât catch a cold, itâs freezing,â
Guo Yang shouted from outside.
Liao Yifan couldnât help but curl her lips into a smile, even she didnât realize that she had unconsciously gotten used to Guo Yangâs caring concern.
After the door was opened, Guo Yang, seeing Liao Yifan still dressed in just a thin layer, couldnât help but take out a wool blanket from his space and draped it over her, saying with a displeased tone, âAre you silly or what? Itâs snowing and youâre wearing so little. Quickly put these on.â
After finishing his words, Guo Yang tossed several long down jackets of various colors to Liao Yifan and then firmly closed the door.
A stream of warm liquid flowed from Guo Yangâs nose. He couldnât help but lean against the wall, his mind a whirl of thoughts. Although he was worried about how little Fanfan, his Little Cutie, was wearing, that figure⊠was truly top-notchâŠ
Xue Wanyi, passing by, looked at Guo Yang with a lovestruck expression and a nosebleed, and couldnât help but look at him with disgust.
âGo look in a mirror, will you? Arenât you embarrassed, this early in the morning.â
Xue Wanyi said.
???
It was then that Guo Yang realized he had a nosebleed. Hurriedly pulling out two wet wipes from his space, he started wiping it off while saying, âHeating issue, too dry, totally normal, totally normal.â
âHmph!â
Xue Wanyi no longer paid attention to the embarrassed Guo Yang, striding towards the main house. He had already caught the scent of breakfast soy milk.
It was really great that Su Jin and the others could come back!
Inside the main house, seeing everyone in a good mood and enjoying breakfast together, Su Jin couldnât help but eat a bit more.
âWe probably wonât be able to train today, so we might come back very early,â
Xue Wanyi said, considering the thick layer of snow that had fallen overnight, fearing that it would no longer permit everyone to train on the training field.
âYeah, weâll be back early. If you guys have any chores, just tell us,â
Liao Yifan said to Su Jin, her eyes narrowing with pleasure after a bite of the pork bun.
Even when they didnât leave the base, Su Jin and the others were busy making braised meat and pancakes in the villa, so she wanted to help out with what she could, especially since her monthly salary couldnât even match the small earnings Guo Yang made for the team.
âThis snow, Iâm afraid, wonât stop so soon. Weâll probably have plenty of free time for a while, not much work to do,â
Su Jin said with a smile.
She knew at the beginning of the snowfall the people in the base might find it novel and not take it too seriously, but as the snow kept falling without end and the temperature dropped sharply, they would start to worry.
This snow was also a test for all bases.
Many Special Ability Users trapped in the base could not go out. The number of zombies outside wouldnât decrease, instead, it might keep increasing, easily leading to a Zombie Tide. If it was a base without defensive measures, it would likely have a hard time getting through this difficulty.
Lian Jiyue was stuffing his mouth with pork buns, one after another, ignoring the corn on the cob Mao Qiqi had pushed towards him.
Only after Mao Qiqi pretended to be angry and glared at him again did he reluctantly pick up the corncob, chewing on it with a look of distaste.
Today, Su Jin planned to go visit Jian Zongzheng and othersâ place to check on Zhang Chuyang and Wang Zhu. After all, it had been so long since she had seen them, and she had said she would watch over Wang Zhu and the others. Yet since the Mercenary Corps assessment ended, she hadnât seen them again.
âThey are now high-rank members of the Mercenary Group in the base, and their reputation isnât bad. I heard they even took on some small tasks,â
Mao Zhihang said before leaving, of course, this was something he overheard at the Heart Talk Branch.
âThatâs good. Weâre free today anyway. After we cook the meat, weâll go and see them,â
Su Jin said.
