Winter continues. Thick ice and snows continued covering the whole land. The lakes and ocean were long frozen. Everything could be seen was rather white. The world seemed to be too stunningly chilly.
In every bases, large or small, there were only too few people you could see busying outdoors scurrying thier works and duties. Guards on patrols were also seen almost a walking clothes as they were wearing too thick clothes they think enough to support them from the colds, atleast.
Winter this time might be a lot worser than the first bad winters that had came but it could also be considered a bit good as the zombies attacking from every directions and every corners had been a lot lesser and was easy to kill. It should be that even the zombies get afraid ..at the weather??
Not really. But those that persevere to strive for thier hunger had been mostly buried by the snow and frozen.
On the other hand, those high level zombies that already gained a bit of understanding choose a place to stay in groups or either alone waiting for a prey to walk on their nest.
Days and days continued until in the people's most reassuring peaceful sleep that suddenly an unexpected nightmarish monster had arised threatening the frigid weather into more deathly chill that humans would've never expected to see.
In the most faraway place at the back of the mountain, the once almost deserted place with all of its withered and inanimated plants and trees were now covered in a very thick ice and snows.
Looking at this mountain and hills of ice and snows. Not one life leaving near the area could be expected living anymore as it's frantic and direful chilliness could be seen more heavy and potent than any of the rest of the whole places.
The howling of the strong wind was crazy in this mountain almost a sound of howling pitiful souls crying and begging like a creepy inferno in the depths of hell that gives a big goosebumps to anyone that could listen to it as the crazy howls echoed and traveled far and wide around this mountain and to such certain places the winds could reach.
Added to that, the pouring heavy snows never ended burying anything and everything and there was not even a sign of it stopping.
In this already worst state suddenly there was a low rumbling from the ground but the sound was almost faint as the sound was eaten by the fierce howling wind.
One of the hill of snows shakened as gently it grows strangely larger and taller as if something huge and alive was rising from it and the snows sliding and running off below it.
It goes on for a minute until it stopped moving as it reached the huge height followed by calmness but only for a second until this hill erupted as snows with grounds and stones burst and shattered in all its sides and some were even dragged and eaten away by the wind.
"Rawwwr!!"
A loud and frightening growl resounds the whole area joining the crazy howlings of the wind as the whole mountain was shakened and the already dark clouds in the sky had became even more darker as if even the heavens understand that the big storm had risen to blow the world in more chaos.

*Hiss!*
He Qian looked at the silver snake whose head stood and it's tongue coming in and out of its little mouth. He could suddenly sense it's tense emotion. "Magus, what's wrong?" he asked.
Xiao Xiao lightly raised his head hearing He Qian's question as he looked at the silver snake curling around the body of the lampshade at the mini table beside He Qian's bed. He flutter his fluffy little tail thrice before it settled on a little curl as he waited for the silver snake's answer.
*Hiss!*
"Something worst is about to cause havoc in this vain world. It should be, the first real nightmare that will come to us."
He Qian's face blanked for a moment before it became pale. "Y-You're talking about the winter monster?" just the mention of it gives a big fright to He Qian as he knows the horror that this big zombie could bring to everyone. To think that it can't be killed and it was very huge and very powerful.
The original He Qian was lucky enough not to encounter it but still, the terrifying and tragic news was just terrible enough to already scared him witless even in those already rough times for him in the hands of those fornicators.
The He Qian now, if wished, he would rather not meet that monster and just hope for the winter to go fast. But why does he felt that things might not be as how he wished it? Something deep inside him was actually scared and yet ...expecting? What?! What the hell could I expect?
*Hiss!*
"Qianqian, how do you feel now?" Magus asked making He Qian come back to his senses.
"ah?" He Qian blinked. He carefully remember what was asked of him. "Oh. I.. I feel? Scared?"
"What he means is that he's asking you if you still feel that kind of connection to this monster." Nan suddenly speak. Nan is the lizard friend of Magus.
'Connection?' He Qian's brows frowned worriedly but he shake his head. "There is none."
*Hiss!*
"Tell me if you feel something. That's right, I heard you had a strong mental force?"
He Qian paused for a moment. "Yeah? I mean, Big Brother Moon told me of it but how is that I have a strong mental force when I don't even get to feel anything. I wonder if Big Brother Moon thought of it wrong since my real ability was only fire and now I don't have it anymore."
He Qian indeed doesn't know how to react and what to feel about hearing for the first time that he actually owns another ability and that it is a powerful mental force. How is that called? A dual ability user like Jia Shufen? How happy it would be if it's real but ever since he wake up from coma, he's been trying to learn and activate this ability but how come there was always nothing that happened in the end? He doesn't even feel anything strange of him related to this kind of ability that Big Brother Moon and the others taught him. Nothing is going on at all! But...
"It was actually weird that I could feel a connection to that winter monster? If I don't have a strong mental force then maybe I really had another ability but was closer to this kind of ability. Or else what? How can we explain those weird things I experienced?"
"You might be a black brain?" Suddenly, Nan said it almost excitedly.
He Qian caught the excitement from the lizard's voice as he stared at Nan with a confused face. "black brain? What's that?" 'Is that another ability user name? And doesn't it sound too technological like computer brain? Oh! Internet brain seems a cooler name! Right, isn't there only a green minded?' He Qian secretly laugh at his own worthless thoughts that totally don't make sense that he missed to see that the silver snake's tail's whip on Nan's little head.
*Hiss!*
"Idiot." Magus said that only the lizard can hear.
"Black Brain is a very special ability user and it was impossible to have someone with this ability in this vain world." Magus explained.
He Qian stared at them strangely. "Why do you sound like a snake that was explaining things so deeply and otherworldly? And black brain ability user sounds so very off and strange."
*Hiss!*
"Oh. It was indeed strange."
He Qian tilted his head with a light frown. He wanted to doubt the words of Magus but what is there to doubt when he just sounded mysterious but nothing could be detected wrong?
