Early the next morning, the Glimmer Squad, the military team, and members of the Phoenix Squad, Wolf Warrior Squad, Eagle Squad, and Hope Squad gathered at the west gate of the base and set off for H Province.

"Ziyue, Ziyue, we meet again." Ziyue had just gotten off the bus and stood still when she heard Li Rufeng's loud voice from afar.

Looking back, one could see a group of beautiful women, some plump and some slender, all of them looking heroic and spirited. This was a rare sight in the apocalypse.

It's important to know that in this post-apocalyptic novel, after the apocalypse began, because women are naturally less physically capable than men, the death rate of women in the early stages of the apocalypse was almost seven to eight times that of men.

After a period of natural selection and a struggle for survival, by the end of the apocalypse, the ratio of men to women who survived was approximately 15:1.

Therefore, when Ziyue saw that the Phoenix team consisted entirely of girls, she felt admiration for Li Rufeng. She admired Li Rufeng for being able to build such a team and point out a different path for girls in the apocalypse, just like a lighthouse, giving hope to countless people.

Who says women are inferior to men? Ziyue has always believed that there is nothing a woman cannot do in this world. Never underestimate the resilience of women! That kind of gentle yet persistent female strength can encompass all things and embrace all rivers.

She couldn't possibly take responsibility for so many people's lives; it would be too much of a burden. But she could offer them some help within her means.

Of course, in the hearts of these Phoenix team members, she was different too. The way they looked at Ziyue was different; it was with a light in their eyes.

Each of them has their own story. They do not succumb to fate, never bow their heads, and stubbornly strive to grow, all for the sake of living with dignity.

And Qing Ziyue is the lighthouse on their path forward.

Because the strongest person in the base is a young woman, there is almost never any instance of looking down on or bullying women in the Northern Base.

This gave them, and many other ordinary women, hope for survival.

Ziyue was unaware that, unknowingly, she had already used her own strength and status to win a living environment for the women in the base.

In the future, her influence will only grow and spread, bringing hope for survival to countless women.

Once everyone had assembled, a procession of nearly 2000 people set off in a grand procession, consisting of dozens of military trucks, and some squads even driving their own large trucks.

Meanwhile, everyone at the base was also making preparations for winter.

Moreover, at the base's call, almost everyone leaves the base. Even ordinary people without any special abilities will try their best to find more firewood near the base to keep warm.

Everyone is struggling to survive.

"The temperature outside is 3 degrees Celsius now, and it will probably drop below zero tonight." Jiang Liu looked at the thermometer he had just brought in from outside the car. When it gets colder, it won't be easy to start the car if it's turned off.

"Fortunately, we should be back once the temperature really drops."

The car was warm and cozy with the heater on. The people weren't wearing very thick clothes, and they could put on more clothes when they went outside.

Ziyue sat on the sofa, holding a cup of hot cocoa in her hand, sipping it slowly, and occasionally taking a bite of strawberry mousse cake.

Shi Yu was holding a cup of hot coffee, Jiang Yuan was studying a recipe book, Jiang Liu was sketching in a sketchbook, and Qin Zhan was driving in front.

Their destination was very clear this time: to take the shortest route straight to H province, find a place to rest at night, and set off at dawn. Although they wouldn't travel day and night, since zombies are more active at night, they were indeed racing against time.

As long as you're not surrounded by a large number of zombies, try to get on your way.

After a week of trekking, the group finally arrived in H Province. As previously arranged, they split into two teams. General Qi led a group to collect cold-weather supplies, while the Glimmer Squad, Phoenix Squad, and some soldiers went to S City, known as the "Coal City".

The two groups parted ways, and after arriving in S City, Ziyue and her team almost became the main force in eliminating zombies.

Ziyue doesn't actually need much coal, and she's already collected quite a bit of it.

The main purpose of this trip is to collect these resources for the base.

They were faster and quickly met up with the other team before heading back.

After all, everyone had noticed that the temperature had been dropping lower and lower these past few days, reaching minus 10 degrees Celsius at night. They needed to get back as soon as possible before the extreme cold weather fully arrived.

Unfortunately, God did not wish.

Their journey back was exceptionally arduous.

The zombies may have sensed the unusual weather, which is why they have been unusually active lately.

Every city they passed through was filled with fierce battles.

Fortunately, everyone who came out to carry out this mission was a master, and through continuous battles, their overall strength improved significantly.

More than half a month passed, and the group successfully completed their mission and returned to base.

The day after the mission was submitted, heavy snow arrived. As far as Ziyue knew, everyone in the base had collected a lot of firewood and warm supplies during this time.

By gathering a large number of earth-elemental ability users to build additional houses, the people in the shantytown finally moved into houses that were at least draft-free before the extreme cold arrived.

The base also distributed some warm supplies, and with the addition of stoves or firewood for warmth, the base would no longer experience the mass freezing deaths of survivors due to a lack of preparation, as depicted in the original novel.

The base is in a state of high alert, with various arrangements being made, including fire prevention, cold prevention, and daily snow removal. Each household is required to provide a certain number of volunteers based on the number of people in their household to participate in the snow removal work at the base.

Otherwise, if some unexpected situation arises, not only will the car be unable to move, but people won't even be able to walk, which would cause serious delays.

There are five people in Ziyue's group, and two of them need to be sent to join the Qingxue volunteer team every day.

Outside the window, snow fell heavily, and in the blink of an eye, the earth was covered with a layer of white. Inside, however, it was warm and cozy.

As Ziyue ate a roasted sweet potato and smelled the aroma of food wafting from the kitchen, she felt warm all over.

Looking at the snowflakes falling outside the window, Ziyue recalled that during her last mission, she had used her teleportation and invisibility skills to travel to various bases and deliver supplies to their warehouses over several nights.

She has everything from cold-weather gear to various daily necessities. She should learn from Lei Feng and do good deeds anonymously. She has done everything she could, and she has a clear conscience.

Ziyue sent supplies not only to official bases but also to some decent privately established bases.

In addition, for some bases with poor management, Ziyue will kill some of the scum and degenerates among humans when there is solid evidence. It's better not to let them live and waste resources.

Another tactic was to secretly place supply packages into the homes of survivors. Those who received the supplies would either shout about it or remain silent, hiding the supplies for their own family members to use secretly.

This also gave hope to the survivors at the very bottom of the social ladder who were exploited.

Including these days, Ziyue, under Xiao Jiu'er's guidance, would deliver a supply package to those on the verge of death, leaving behind a glimmer of hope.

The overwhelming snow could not bury the vibrant life force, and as long as there is life, there is hope.
