The battle in the blizzard had just ended, and several huge snow beast corpses were lying on the ground, with a foul stench from the rotting flesh.

Zhang Chen and other psychics were exhausted and out of breath, but there was joy of victory in their eyes.

"Huh...finally solved." Lin Xiaomo wiped the sweat from her forehead. Her fire-based ability played an important role in this battle.

Zhang Chen nodded: "Clean up the battlefield and strengthen the defense. The bodies of these snow beasts must be burned to prevent the virus from spreading."

On an old pine tree about 300 meters away from the battlefield, two dark shadows were hiding their bodies under the dense branches and leaves.

They were wearing specially made white camouflage suits that almost blended in with the snow.

"What a wonderful performance." The man code-named "Viper" whispered, with a sinister smile on his lips.

"Zhang Chen's strength is even stronger than what the intelligence said."

Another woman codenamed "Scorpion" observed the battlefield through a telescope. "Even when her superpowers have not been fully restored, she can still command the overall situation."

"The most interesting thing is," Viper licked his lips, "They didn't realize that we deliberately lured these snow beasts here."

"The organization's virus is indeed excellent," Scorpion put away the telescope, "these mutated snow beasts are more powerful than we expected."

Inside the base, Gulimiya was carrying a bowl of hot soup and walking towards the city wall. Her down jacket was covered with snowflakes, and her round face was red from the cold, but her eyes were full of worry.

"Chief," she handed over the hot soup, "Have some to warm yourself up."

Zhang Chen took it, his eyes softened a bit: "Thank you."

"You all worked hard," Gulimiya distributed hot soup to other psychics, "I asked the kitchen to prepare ginger soup and it will be delivered later."

The scorpion on the tree saw this and sneered, "It seems that the rumors are true. This leader seems to be very special to that fat girl."

"Weaknesses," Viper's eyes flashed with coldness, "Everyone has weaknesses."

He took out a small bottle from his arms, which contained a dark red liquid: "This is much more interesting than the zombie virus."

"It's almost time," said the scorpion. "Let's retreat."

The two of them moved silently among the branches and soon disappeared in the wind and snow. As soon as their figures disappeared, Zhang Chen suddenly turned his head to look in that direction, frowning slightly.

"What's wrong?" Lin Xiaomo asked.

"Nothing," Zhang Chen retracted his gaze, "It might be an illusion."

But he felt a little uneasy. The appearance of these snow beasts was too strange, and their movements were too deliberate. It was as if... someone was secretly controlling them.

"Increase patrols," he ordered, "and pay special attention to suspicious activities around the base."

Gulimiya stood beside him and said worriedly, "Chief, you look very bad, do you want to go and rest?"

Zhang Chen shook his head: "I can't rest. Now is not the time to relax."

In the distant forest, the vipers and scorpions have arrived at their temporary base. In a hidden cave, advanced communication equipment is installed.

"Reporting to headquarters," Viper pressed the communicator, "The first phase of the test is complete. The target's reaction is in line with expectations. It is recommended to start the second phase plan."

There was a rustling sound of electricity coming from the other end of the communicator, followed by a cold voice: "Permission granted. Remember, we want not only his life, but also his supernatural powers."

"Understood." The two looked at each other, with dangerous light flashing in their eyes.

The snowstorm was fading, but a bigger storm was brewing.

In this snow-covered land, an invisible battle is about to begin.

The next morning, the blizzard subsided slightly.

A convoy slowly drove into the Northern Xinjiang base. A dozen heavy trucks were loaded with cold-weather supplies. Leading the convoy was a modified off-road vehicle with the "Iron Blood Camp" logo painted on its body.

"Captain Zhang!" A burly middle-aged man jumped off the car and strode over. "I've heard of your name for a long time. I'm Zheng Tianhu, the commander of the Iron Blood Battalion."

He was wearing a black military uniform and had a hearty smile on his face, but there was a shrewd gleam in the depths of his eyes.

Zhang Chen returned the greeting by bowing: "Captain Zheng has come from afar, I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person."

"No, no," Zheng Tianhu waved his hand. "I heard that the northern border was hit by a snowstorm that hasn't happened in a century. I'm rushing to deliver some supplies!"

He snapped his fingers, and his men immediately began to unload the goods: "One thousand quilts, five hundred heaters, twenty thousand packages of compressed food..."

Gulimiya was counting the supplies, with a look of surprise on her round face: "Great! With these, everyone won't have to suffer from the cold!"

Zheng Tianhu's eyes swept across the base, and when he saw those huge ice houses, a hint of greed flashed in his eyes.

"Chief Zhang," he lowered his voice, "why don't we find a place to discuss this in detail?"

Zhang Chen took him to the conference room. After Zheng Tianhu sat down, he immediately put away his smile.

"To be honest," he went straight to the point, "this batch of supplies is conditional."

Zhang Chen remained calm: "Please speak."

"We, the Iron Blood Battalion, are willing to use 100,000 troops to help Northern Xinjiang overcome its difficulties." Zheng Tianhu said slowly, "But..."

"but what?"

"But the Northern Frontier must be incorporated into the Iron Blood Camp." Zheng Tianhu stared at Zhang Chen, "You should know that we can't defend such a large territory with our current strength alone."

Zhang Chen remained silent.

"Think about it," Zheng Tianhu continued to persuade, "Northern Xinjiang covers thousands of square kilometers and is rich in resources, but short of manpower. We have sufficient manpower and weapons. This is a win-win choice."

"Of course," he smiled "kindly," you are still the manager here, but... you have to obey me."

The meeting room was eerily quiet.

"Captain Zheng," Zhang Chen finally spoke, "We bought this batch of supplies."

"what?"

"We can exchange the required supplies and weapons with resources of equal value." Zhang Chen looked directly at him, "As for the proposal to merge the camps, I'm sorry that I can't comply with your request."

Zheng Tianhu's face suddenly darkened: "Chief Zhang, you have to think it over carefully. This winter has just begun..."

"We in the northern border," Zhang Chen stood up, "would rather freeze to death than surrender."

Zheng Tianhu also stood up, exuding a dangerous aura: "Then don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Please do as you wish, Captain Zheng." Zhang Chen said calmly.

After leaving the conference room, Zheng Tianhu whispered into the communicator: "Leave the supplies behind, and evacuate the personnel. Let them experience the cold first."

Before he boarded the off-road vehicle, he glanced at the base meaningfully: "Zhang Chen, Zhang Chen, do you think you can hold on to this piece of fat meat? Naive!"

The convoy sped away, leaving behind a pile of supplies.

"Leader," Lin Xiaomo asked worriedly, "is it really okay to reject them?"

"They won't give up." Zhang Chen looked into the distance, "But compared to the external enemies, I am more worried..."

Chapter 709 We...we've had enough.

Before he could finish his words, a loud noise suddenly came from a distance. An igloo collapsed!

"Not good!" Zhang Chen's face changed drastically, "Someone is destroying the foundation of the igloo!"

Gulimiya ran over in panic: "Chief, a suspicious person was spotted in the East District!"

Zhang Chen gritted his teeth and said, "Sure enough, sending supplies is just a cover. They have already planted an insider!"

"Those supplies..." Lin Xiaomo looked at the mountains of supplies.

"Check everything!" Zhang Chen made a prompt decision, "It must be completed before dark!"

The blizzard began to rage again. In the temporary base of the Iron Blood Camp, Zheng Tianhu looked at the satellite map and sneered: "Just wait, before the end of this winter, the northern border will be mine."

On the map, the scope of the northern border is heavily marked. This coveted territory is undergoing the test of internal and external troubles.

And this is just the beginning.

As night fell, the blizzard intensified.

Zhang Chen stood in the command room, with dozens of red dots flashing on the electronic map in front of him. Those were the suspicious locations found today. His brows were furrowed, and his fingers tapped the table unconsciously.

"Report!" A soldier rushed in, "A timing device was found in the supplies!"

"Sure enough," Zhang Chen sneered, "Zheng Tianhu is trying to make a feint to the east and attack in the west."

At this moment, Gulimiya came running over in a panic: "Oh no! Everyone in the cafeteria has been poisoned!"

"What?" Zhang Chen turned around suddenly.

The cafeteria was in chaos, with dozens of people huddled on the ground, clutching their stomachs in pain, their faces turning blue.

"It's those compressed foods!" Lin Xiaomo reported after checking, "There's a chronic poison added to them!"

Zhang Chen clenched his fists: "Destroy all suspicious materials immediately!"

"But..." Gulimiya said worriedly, "In this case, our reserves..."

Before he could finish his words, a shrill alarm suddenly sounded throughout the base.

"Emergency!" An anxious voice came from the communicator, "A large number of armed personnel have been spotted in the west area!"

Zhang Chen rushed to the watchtower. With the help of the searchlight, he saw dense figures approaching. They were fully armed and were obviously well-trained soldiers.

"People from the Iron Blood Camp!" Lin Xiaomo exclaimed, "They are so quick..."

"No," Zhang Chen narrowed his eyes, "These people are not from the Iron Blood Camp."

As expected, the team’s banner was the “Blood Wolf Group,” another force that had long coveted the northern border.

"What a great trick!" Zhang Chen suddenly realized, "Zheng Tianhu deliberately drew our attention to the supplies so that the Blood Wolf Group could take advantage of the opportunity!"

On a distant hill, Zheng Tianhu was observing the battle situation through a high-powered telescope.

"Zhang Chen, Zhang Chen," he sneered, "Let the Blood Wolf Group consume your strength first. When both of you are defeated, it will be time for me to take action."

The situation inside the base became increasingly critical.

"Chief," Gulimia said suddenly, "I have an idea!"

She pointed at the infected snow beast corpses and said, "We can use them!"

Zhang Chen's eyes lit up: "Good idea!"

He immediately ordered: "Carry the snow beast carcass to the western city wall!"

The Blood Wolf Group was still advancing when they suddenly saw a strange scene on the city wall: several huge snow beast corpses were thrown down, and rotten flesh and blood splattered everywhere!

"Be careful!" someone screamed, "It's a zombie virus!"

The team was in chaos. No one dared to approach the bodies with the virus, and the entire offensive formation was forced to retreat.

"Very good!" Zhang Chen took the opportunity to order, "Release!"

The archers who had been prepared opened fire one after another, and arrows fell like raindrops. The Blood Wolf Group suffered heavy losses and had to retreat temporarily.

But Zhang Chen knew that this was only a temporary victory.

"Strengthen your defenses," he ordered. "They will surely come back."

Gulimiya watched him silently. Under the moonlight, the man looked so resolute. Her heartbeat accelerated unconsciously.

"Chief," she said courageously, "I'll go get some hot soup..."

Zhang Chen turned his head, and the seriousness on his face melted into a hint of tenderness: "Okay, everyone does need to warm up."

Gulimiya ran away with a red face. What she didn't know was that Zhang Chen's eyes followed her back until she disappeared in the wind and snow.

The night is still long and the battle is far from over.

But as long as these lovely people are around, no matter how difficult the problem is, we can overcome it.

Zhang Chen looked into the distance with a firm gaze.

Let those who covet it kill each other.

In the early hours of the morning, the Iron Blood Camp was silent.

Zheng Tianhu was drinking triumphantly in his luxurious underground command room: "Let the Blood Wolf Group fight Zhang Chen, and wait until they are both defeated..."

Suddenly, the sirens pierced the night sky!

"Report! The outskirts of the base are under attack!" A panicked voice came from the communicator.

"How is that possible!" Zheng Tianhu stood up suddenly, "Isn't Zhang Chen dealing with the Blood Wolf Group?"

"Boom!" With a loud noise, the door of the basement was blown open. The cold wind rushed in with snowflakes, and Zhang Chen rushed in with a team of superpowers.
