CHAPTER 42 - The Extreme Cold Begins


The "clang" sound was particularly clear in the quiet square. Wu Lianyi and Sun Wang's pupils shrank when the Lei Yao Sword only cut off half of the neck of the Level 5 zombie, and did not completely cut off the other party's head.

Wu Lianyi reacted quickly, turned her wrist, and pulled back her Lei Yao sword, while Sun Wang immediately took her away.

Because of the excessive force, the Level 5 zombie was thrown to the center of the square.

"Attack!"

Zhou Mei ordered again.

The attack of the crystal core gun sounded again, and they also discovered that ordinary hot weapons could only cause limited damage to Level 5 zombies, but the attack of the crystal core gun was more effective.

Sun Wang and Wu Lianyi had retreated to the edge of the square and joined Captain Ying Yi.

"Here!"

Ying Yi threw a Level 4 crystal core to Sun Wang to help him recover as soon as possible, and Wu Lianyi had already held two Level 4 crystal cores in her hands while moving.

"Unfortunately, it's just a little bit short."

Ying Ao said regretfully.

"Only Purple Eagle's attack can do it. Don't forget that she's also a strength ability user. If you and I go up, we'll probably only scratch his skin a little."

Ying Yi replied calmly, then turned to Wu Lianyi and said:

"Ying Sun has chosen the commanding height and will find a way to carry out long-range sniping."

Ying Sun was a trained sniper with excellent eyesight, and he also awakened a special ability in this area. After the crystal core gun was developed, he specially applied for crystal core bullets specifically used for sniping, and is now looking for the best opportunity for attack .

"Captain, inform Captain Ying Sun to shoot at the neck where I broke it."

"Okay, you take a break first."

Ying Yi immediately notified Ying Sun on the intercom.

At this time, Ying Sun was on top of a 32-story building in the inner city of the Capital. He was not the only one here, but also the special snipers of the military in the Capital base who received the same mission as him. There were also other long-range attackers scattered on the rooftops of nearby intact high-rise buildings.

As Ying Sun fired the first shot, other snipers also found their positions and began to attack.

Combined with the intensive attacks around the square, the Level 5 zombie was beaten back and retreated, roaring angrily. Unfortunately, there were no other mutant zombies to support him.

At this time, a man came and whispered something to Zhou Mei's ear, which made her look happy. She immediately called for a team of six people to leave with the man.

After the crystal core gun stopped attacking, the ability-users surrounded the Level 5 zombie. This was a Level 5 crystal core. To say that they were not coveting it would be a lie.

By the time Wu Lianyi and Sun Wang's abilities recovered, Ying Yi and the others had already fought a coordinated battle, adding new injuries to the Level 5 zombie.

"Sister Lianyi, I'm ready! We must finish him off this time."

Sun Wang stretched his body and prepared for the attack.

Wu Lianyi didn't really want to move anymore. The Level 5 zombie had already been defeated, and the other ability users could finish him off. However, seeing Sun Wang being so active, she didn't want to spoil his fun, so after she made preparations, she attacked again. .

This time, Wu Lianyi pierced the chest of the Level 5 zombie with the sword, pinning the opponent to the ground, then teleported close to the zombie's head and stuffed an egg-sized lightning ball into his mouth, and then quickly retreated.

The "crackling" purple lightning instantly enveloped the Level 5 zombie's head and his body shook involuntarily. Holding the Lei Yao Sword on his chest with his pale hands, the zombie tried to break the sword.

Unfortunately, the strength of the sword was beyond the other party's expectations. Not only did he fail to break the sword, but he was hit again by the lightning energy attached to the sword, which was simply adding insult to injury.

Another Level 4 gold ability user saw the right timing and immediately used the condensed golden dagger to cut off the zombie's head completely.

"The Level 5 zombie has been eliminated and cannot become the future zombie king! Four-fifths of the mission progress is completed. Congratulations to the taskmaster. You are only one step away from completing the mission. Please continue to work hard!"

The communicator's voice suddenly rang out again.

"Those words sound familiar. You said it once before when I helped General Zhou take control of the Capital base!"

Wu Lianyi absolutely believes in her memory.

"Sizzle. Sizzle. The apocalypse is about to usher in extreme cold and hot weather. Please take care of yourself and help the small world complete its evolution."

Then the communicator went silent again.

Wu Lianyi was furious. After completing the mission in this small world, she would definitely complain about this communicator and give him a one-star negative review.

The Level 5 zombie was eliminated and the crystal core returned to the base. However, all the ability users who participated in the battle had a good harvest. Food supplies and crystal cores were available for selection, and their efforts were not in vain.

At the same time, Sang Sheng and his followers were all captured. In order to calm the anger of the survivors of the Capital base, the culprits of the zombie attack were publicly executed three days later.

This approach won the favor of the survivors, and with appropriate compensation, the crisis was successfully resolved, and the Capital base slowly returned to its former bustle.

While waiting for the upgraded version of the defense shield, the escort team from W City also took on the task of cleaning up zombies from time to time. When the crystal core guns began to be distributed in the base, the Black Panther and Chaoyang teams, like other zombie-hunting teams, accepted the mission of promoting the crystal core guns. On the way back to W city, they sold crystal core guns to the survivor bases along the way.

This task was mainly aimed at some small bases. Generally, large bases will directly send people to the Capital base to learn, purchase, or exchange the manufacturing technology of crystal core guns.

Of course, 30% of the income here belongs to the survivor base in W City. After all, this was something they first developed and upgraded.

Just when everyone's abilities were about to break through to Level 5, the first extreme cold weather appeared. The temperature suddenly dropped without any warning, from a high temperature of 35 °C during the day to a temperature of -35 °C at night, and it continued to drop.

The zombie-hunting team that was out quickly sensed something was wrong, rushed back to the base overnight, and reported the information they had found to the base's upper management.

General Zhou frowned as he looked at the latest news compiled by his subordinates. The temperature dropped sharply; it was still okay for the ability users, but it was very difficult for ordinary survivors. Moreover, the zombies also stopped moving due to the extremely cold weather.

The Zhou siblings had already started arranging work to keep the survivors of the base warm, and they were so busy that they had no time to rest. It was at this time that Wu Lianyi and Ying Yi came to see them together.

"You two, the upgrade of the crystal core defense shield has been completed, but it will take some time to make a new defense shield, but it will be done soon. I hope you can wait patiently for a few days."

Zhou Mei thought they came to urge them to hasten the production of the defense shield and immediately explained.

After they obtained the technology of the crystal core gun, the scientific researchers focused on the manufacturing and production of the crystal core gun, and the upgrade of the defensive shield technology was indeed delayed.

"Don't worry, we've been waiting for so long, one or two days won't make a difference.

Wu Lianyi said with a smile, which made Zhou Mei a little embarrassed.

"Then, do you need anything?"

"We are just here to tell you some bad news. The extreme cold weather will last for a year. During this year, the zombies will lose their ability to move. But once the extreme cold weather ends, all the zombies will be upgraded."
