Without sanity, according to this world and immortal cultivators, there is no soul.

A body without a soul will quickly decay, just like dried fruit without the ridiculously heavy weight of preservatives in it.

It's winter now, and there aren't that many conditions for decomposers and flies to thrive, so these zombies can still survive.

If we wait for the severe cold to pass, winter turns to spring, and the weather gets hotter, then there is no telling.

It is probably impossible for these zombies to "resurrect from the dead" or to regenerate intelligence from their corpses.

If you want to find a way to control these zombies and make them a free, tireless labor force that makes capitalists cry, then it would be the best.

But, how to control it?

How can we extend the shelf life after the weather warms up?

These are issues that cannot be ignored.

"Yes, they have lost their souls. In these empty shells, there are some strange things controlling their instincts."

"Then how to control it?" Pei Mengqing asked.

"I don't know. It depends on whether the research institute can come up with a suitable solution. Until then, we have to continuously send late-stage Xuanqi-level warlocks to chop wood outside the city, but this is actually not good."

The demand for firewood in Tianhe County is too great. Although the surrounding Laotou Mountain and Fox Mountain are rich in trees, they have endless forests.

However, the part of the forest near the roadside has been shaved off by the warlocks.

The root cause of the severe winter has not yet been found. If it is always winter in the future, then these two forests will not be enough to cut down.

Elder Liu is not an ordinary person. He knows the harm caused by indiscriminate deforestation. Roads are blocked (mudslides), landslides, soil erosion, and the soil in fertile fields has become unstable, and fewer animals can be hunted.

"Okay, we have something else to gain this time. Has Elder Liu ever heard of the organization 'Yangzhou Man'?"

"I've never heard of him. Could he be the mastermind behind this incident?" Elder Liu asked.

Pei Mengqing said: "It's no surprise that they have a horn and can control the direction of the zombie groups by blowing the horn, but it's not certain whether they can achieve more precise control.

"I guess it is a superficial organization, because according to the members of the other organization we captured, they were only established at the end of last month.

"It's obviously impossible to make so many plans in such a short period of time. It's impossible for them to develop viruses, release them across Liang County, and command zombie armies to besiege Tianhe County just a few days after they were established."

Besides, it is impossible to recruit so many late and mid-to-late Mysterious level warlocks in such a short period of time.

These warlocks are not cabbage, they can just go to the vegetable garden to pick it up when needed. There must be an organization behind the scenes to plan and make it so smooth.

The so-called Yangzhou slowness should be just a shell.

What kind of turtle is under the shell will not be known until it is pulled out.

After reporting the news, he handed over the two prisoners of the Yangzhou Slow Organization to Elder Liu, and Pei Mengqing and the others left, assuming they were in charge.

Everyone habitually regarded Pei Mengqing's room as the meeting place, so this time they went to his room to talk.

Three cats were lying side by side on the table, holding their paws, looking relaxed and comfortable.

Dongfang Xiaoyu sat on the chair next to the table, opposite Pei Mengqing.

The issues everyone discussed were nothing more than the unbearable severe cold, the Sky Patrol Sword, the underground human beauty Canglan, the zombie siege, and the new evil organization.

While discussing, Pei Mengqing communicated with her practice system in her mind.

"Speaking of which, did you forget something about the system?"

[The system does not have a personality. Please do not use personal pronouns to address the host, just call it 'cultivation system' or 'system']

[System query, there are task rewards that have not been claimed]

[Task reward: Yanjian upgraded once]

[Word Sword is being automatically upgraded]

[Speech Sword (level 2), description: Du Fu's "Reminiscing about the Ancient City of Baidi City" says that "words can confuse people, but feelings cannot be violated". Speech is a silent and invisible force. Those who are eloquent can

In ancient times, a person was a political advisor. A political advisor was able to control people vertically and horizontally, speak unparalleled words, convince people with his reasoning, travel all over the world, and be granted the title of marquis and worship the prime minister!]

[Description 2: Literary words cover up wrongdoing, confuse right and wrong, describe the living as dead, and then describe the dead as alive. Words always have a wonderful power. They can not only comfort people who have suicidal thoughts, but also deceive good people into lameness. Please use it wisely.

The power of words.]

[Effect: The sword of words disappears without a trace. The sword comes out and is impossible to defend against. The attack power will be equal to the power of the host's ordinary sword moves; in addition, the persuasiveness of the host's words is enhanced again, and the effect is stronger on the weaker people. If

When used on the mentally retarded, it can have a hypnotic effect.]

Although there are no special effects, there is no power that falls out of thin air, and there is no enlightenment that is dull and dull when the whole body shakes.

Anyway, Pei Mengqing really felt that her sword had become stronger.

"However, apart from the main mission of obtaining the famous sword, are there no more side missions?" Pei Mengqing asked again.

In novels he had read before, the system would pop up every once in a while to increase the sense of presence. Before a task was over, he could not wait to announce the next task immediately.

They also often suddenly increase the difficulty of the mission in progress, stimulating the protagonist with better rewards.

But why is his system so calm? Sometimes after a task is issued, it doesn't come out for a long time.

[Because the system has no personality and intelligence, it does not produce oxytocin (love, compassion, moral behavior, trust, maternal behavior, cooperative protective behavior, social nature), endophenopeptides (pain relief, euphoria, etc.) like humans.

Love), dopamine (reward mechanism feedback) and serotonin (mood stabilizer) will only appear to provide help when the time is right or when the host needs it.】

[The ultimate goal is to help the host become a Sword Immortal steadily. 】

[Continuous phase tasks have been triggered]

[The mystery of winter: Liang County, with Tianhe County as the center, has entered a long-lasting severe cold. Even in early February, there is still no sign of spring. 】

[Task 1: Check the abnormalities in Tianhe County this year and in the past]

[Task 2: Find the center point of the severe cold]

[Task Reward 1: Two Soul-Nourishing Pills]

[Task Reward 2: The mall discount activity is extended for half a month]

These two tasks don't seem simple, and they are really not simple, but the rewards for the tasks are very rich.

If the soul-nourishing pill was not discounted, it would cost 100 points each. He used to work hard for a copy of "The Sword Master's Sword Manual: The First Sword" and completed countless consecutive missions to get enough points.

As for the extension of the discount event, it would be even better.
