Stock up on supplies! Raise zombies! The end of the world is over!

West side of Yun County.

The continuous heavy snow blocked the roads in and out.

The armed forces of the Southern Base stationed in Yun County organized personnel to clear a path nearby.

In front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor of the independent courtyard, a corner of the white gauze curtain was pulled open.

Jiang Run's thin figure was lying in front of the transparent glass.

In the middle of the yard on the first floor, Zhu Ning built two snowmen. She looked in the direction of Jiang Run, raised her hand and smiled brightly.

"Miss, it's snowing~"

In previous years, they would get together to build snowmen and have snowball fights after the first snow of winter.

But this year, either because I was too busy or because of Jiang Run's health, this matter has been delayed.

"Miss, when you're better, we'll build a snowman together!"

Jiang Run's long and thick eyelashes drooped slightly, hiding the emotions in his eyes.

Feeling the emptiness in his body, Jiang Run sighed, and the white mist condensed into frost on the glass windows.

She can no longer use her supernatural powers.

Jiang Run didn't expect the backlash to be so strong. She is now like a useless person.

Although the Jade Buddha was constantly nourishing her body at night, bathing in the spiritual spring inside could also help with recovery.

But the damage is too great and the recovery is very slow.

In a week, Yamamoto Okada will start his plan.

Jiang Run took out the black wooden sign given to him by the zombie king Wen Xu from the space.

She also took out the sandalwood bracelet that Rong Qingyue had given her.

The bracelet was covered with ancient and mysterious patterns. Jiang Run hesitated for a moment and put the sandalwood bracelet on his left hand.

The bracelet has a faint sandalwood scent, which gives a cool feeling, and my heavy body suddenly feels much more relaxed.

Then she crushed the black wooden sign in her palm.

Wen Xu, who was far away in Jiangcheng, stopped and looked towards the distant west.

Jiang Run would not have sent him a signal unless it was an emergency.

Wen Xu realized the seriousness of the matter and lowered his voice, letting out bursts of roars.

The zombies near Jiangcheng received the order and became restless, their figures lurking on the cold snow.

The abnormal behavior of the zombies caught Lin Yun's attention. She was on the city wall, watching the dark group of zombies rushing in one direction.

Lin Yun had a bad feeling in her heart. Did something happen to the eldest lady over there?

Far to the west of Yun County.

Jiang Run put away the broken jade token, wrapped herself in a large shawl, and staggered downstairs.

After sleeping for a whole night, she felt very tired.

Zhu Ning placed her on the contoured sofa on the first floor and covered her with a blanket.

The floor-to-ceiling windows were wide open, and the snow in the yard was within reach.

"Miss, today is the winter solstice. In a month or so it will be the Chinese New Year."

"The big river in Yun County is frozen over. Many people have been digging holes in the ice to fish these past two days."

"I heard from Qin Gang that there is a plum blossom forest on the outskirts of the city. Many flowers bloomed after the snow, and they are very fragrant."

"I'll fold it tomorrow and put it in your room..."

Hu Leling checked her condition and didn't let Jiang Run go out. Zhu Ning was afraid that she would be bored, so she talked about a lot of new things.

"By the way, Miss, I also heard that the young city lord of City C has also come to Yun County."

"Ji Xun?"

How come even he is here?

"Miss, we stole their researcher and injured his grandfather. Do we need to avoid Ji Xun?"

After all, Ji Xun is a sixth-level devouring mutant. If he holds a grudge and seeks revenge, it will be troublesome.

As the two were talking, Qin Gang pushed open the door and came in, "City Lord, the young city lord of City C wants to see you and has been waiting outside the door for a while."

what? !

Is Ji Xun coming?

Ahhhhh, are you here to call me to task? !

Zhu Ning was numb.

It's all her fault for having such a bad mouth.

"Hurry, hurry, protect the young lady."

"Qin Gang, send a few people to stop him outside and don't let him in!"

Zhu Ning was busy making arrangements while Jiang Run sat on the sofa without even raising his eyes.

"Zhu Ning, let him in."

Since Ji Xun was able to come to the door, it means he knows a lot.

There is no way to avoid it.

Jiang Run was not panicked at all. This was Rong Qingyue's territory in Yun County, and Ji Xun would not take any action.

The familiar sound of wheelchair wheels sliding could be heard. The snow in the yard was deep, and his wheelchair was moving slowly.

The man had handsome features, and when he saw Jiang Run, he smiled gently.

"Long time no see, Dr. Jiang."

His kind attitude stunned everyone on the field.

Jiang Run plotted against him, isn't that right?

Destroying the research laboratory in City C and letting the research subjects go, is that right?

He also stole a valuable researcher and hurt his own grandfather, so there's nothing wrong with that, right?

How could Ji Xun laugh?

A question mark slowly appeared in everyone's mind.

The man seemed unaware of the strange looks on everyone's faces. He looked at Jiang Run with burning eyes.

"You seem much more haggard."

The tone was natural and familiar, as if he was greeting a good friend of many years.

Jiang Run changed his posture and said in a calm tone, "Yes, I was injured by the young city lord and I haven't recovered yet."

The man's smile deepened, like the breeze and the bright moon. "Is that so? Then it's really my fault."

Ji Xun knocked on the handle of the wheelchair, and the servant behind him took out the bag he was carrying.

The servant opened the big package and found a fat sheep inside, still alive and kicking.

"Today is the winter solstice. If you don't mind, let's celebrate it together. It will be my apology."

Although it was a question, his tone did not allow for rejection.

"Winter Solstice? The best time to drink mutton soup is during the Winter Solstice." A hearty male voice came from behind Ji Xun.

Su Yang walked in front, with Rong Qingyue, Bi Xuan and Hu Leling following behind.

In more than a month, Su Yang became darker and thinner. He smiled and said, "Miss Jiang, Sister Zhu Ning, long time no see."

"Young City Lord Ji, I think you wouldn't mind if we come and have a meal with you."

Ji Xunxuan turned around and met Rong Qingyue's eyes. The latter was holding a bunch of red plums in his hand, which was incompatible with his temperament.

The two people's eyes met silently in mid-air, and then quickly separated.

Jiang Run looked at the crowd of people in the yard and twitched his lips.

This winter solstice meal will surely not be peaceful.

……

Su Yang has a lively personality and is the obvious atmosphere maker.

He asked people to bring flour and kill sheep and chickens, making the yard bustling with activity.

"We eat dumplings during the winter solstice. Sister Zhu Ning, do you know how to make dumplings?"

Zhu Ning originally wanted to give him a cold shoulder, but Su Yang was thick-skinned and looked quite cute.

After a few times, Zhu Ning's expression eased a little and he taught Su Yang how to make dumplings.

Jiang Run and Ji Xun sat on the same side of the square wooden table. Ji Xun sat on Jiang Run's right, while Rong Qingyue turned around and sat on Jiang Run's left.

Rong Qingyue had just taken out the plum blossom that he had been pinching along the way from behind his back, but he saw Ji Xun had taken it out first.

"The red plum blossoms outside Yun County are blooming beautifully and smelling very fragrant."

"On the way here, I asked my servants to pick a few branches. I wonder if you like them."

The red plum blossoms are beautiful and have a refreshing fragrance.

Jiang Run took it and smiled, "Thank you for your kindness, Young City Lord. I like it very much."

Rong Qingyue paused and put his hands behind his back again.
