CHAPTER 43 - The Best Time
"Is this news accurate?"
"Of course, Eye Eagle sensed it."
There's no need to hide this, they are aware of Sun Yi's ability, otherwise the Capital base would not have wanted to borrow her when planning an operation.
"All right, thank you for informing us in advance."
Zhou Mei's expression also became serious.
"We specially came to inform you today, and we also have a proposal. I wonder if you are willing to listen to it."
This time it was Wu Lianyi who spoke.
"Of course, Miss Purple Eagle, please go ahead."
Zhou Mei immediately replied, they attached great importance to this person's advice.
"The extreme cold weather is a test for survivors, and it also gives zombies the opportunity to upgrade. Just like us with special abilities, we are most vulnerable during the upgrade process, so this year, it is the best opportunity for us survivors to kill the zombies.
Sang Sheng even raised a Level 5 zombie for the crystal core. Although the zombies were upgraded artificially, it also proved that zombies with special abilities existed.
Not all bases have the strength of the Capital base to kill Level 5 zombies. In order to prevent this from happening, this year's extreme cold weather is the best time to eliminate zombies. "
Zhou Mei listened to Wu Lianyi's words and nodded in agreement. After all, it was related to the development of the base, and all foreseeable dangers are best nipped in the bud.
"We will take the Black Eagle Squad's proposal seriously. I will go see the general now."
Zhou Mei is also a woman of action. She immediately got up and went to see her father, and happened to run into her elder brother who came to look for her.
"Sister, I heard that Black Eagle's captain is here."
"Yes, he brought a piece of news, and I was about to report to the General."
"Then I'll go with you."
Zhou Feng said immediately, and then nodded to Ying Yi and Wu Lianyi, leaving the two of them to sit in the living room for a while, and they left in a hurry.
"Purple Eagle,it will be very troublesome to travel in extremely cold weather. While it's not yet the coldest time, we'd better return to the W City base as soon as possible."
This is what Ying Yi is most worried about.
"Well, the extremely cold weather has its advantages and disadvantages. At least we won't face the relentless pursuit of zombies, and we can also harvest crystal cores, which are all resources.
As for the extremely cold weather, we have special abilities and have much stronger physical fitness. We should be able to survive if we do a good job of keeping warm, and it is best to return in a straight line. "
Wu Lianyi said after thinking for a while.
"Yes, I have arranged for people to collect coal, firewood, gas canisters, as well as warm clothes, shoes and hats and other resources to ensure our smooth return."
Before Ying Yi left the residence, he had already arranged for people to handle these things, and now he only needed the crystal core defense shield.
"We came here today not only to tell them the news of the approaching extreme cold, but also to urge them about the defense shield. As soon as we get it, we can set off."
Wu Lianyi said in a low voice.
Half an hour later, the Zhou brothers and sisters returned together, followed by two guards. The guards were carrying a large metal box and placed it in front of Wu Lianyi and Ying Yi.
"Captain Ying Yi, this is an upgraded version of the crystal core defense shield, which can be used for the protection of the base. There are also two small defensive shields, we should be able to give them to you tomorrow."
Zhou Feng said directly.
"Thank you so much!"
"You're welcome. The news you brought is very important. There is a clairvoyant in the army who also predicted the coming of the extremely cold weather. We decided to take this opportunity to clean up all the zombies around the Capital base.
At the same time, we will inform all survivor bases across the country of this news via satellite. It would be best if all bases could act together.
In order to motivate this large-scale extermination operation, we are preparing to announce the technology of the crystal core gun. With the crystal core gun, ordinary survivors can kill sleeping zombies and also obtain crystal cores, killing two birds with one stone.
Of course, the origin and specific developers of the crystal core gun will be signed as the W City Survivor Base. What do you think? "
Zhou Mei's explanation was more detailed.
"This is a good thing, and we naturally support it!"
Ying Yi nodded immediately.
After finishing their business, Wu Lianyi waved her hand and collected the box containing the crystal core defense shield on the ground, and returned to the residence with Ying Yi.
Now that they have a precise timeline, they need to go back and tell their comrades to get ready and return to the base in W City.
The daytime high temperature of 35 °C and night temperatures of -35 °C lasted for about a month. At midnight on the 31st day, snow began to fall from the sky, and then the snow got heavier and heavier. In just one night, everything was white as far as the eye could see, as if the whole world was covered with snow.
From that day on, the temperature during the day has not risen again, and has become -35 °C , while the night temperature was close to -45 °C . It was really freezing. Even those with special abilities would not go out rashly at night.
The Black Eagle Squad had already left the Capital base and embarked on the journey back to the W City base.
At this time, the team members were hiding in a villa. Although there was nothing inside, fortunately the doors and windows were not damaged. They found the place to stay before the sun went down, quickly closed the doors and windows, lit a fire to keep warm, and started cooking dinner.
"Tsk. Why is it getting colder and colder everyday?"
Sun Wang muttered.
"The extreme cold weather has begun. Haven't you noticed that the zombies are moving slower and slower? The low-level ones have completely frozen."
Earth Eagle on the side answered.
"Indeed, the number of crystal cores I have collected in the past few days are several times more than before."
Sun Wang said happily.
"It is estimated that if the temperature drops further, the zombies will completely lose their ability to move. At that time, we'll go to the occupied city center to get some crystal cores of mutant zombies."
Earth Eagle is very idealistic and has already started planning to collect the crystal cores of mutant zombies.
"There's no rush for this matter. You have to listen to the arrangements of my sister and Sister Lianyi."
Sun Wang immediately stated that going to the city center was very risky and they must be fully prepared.
"That's for sure."
As the smell of spicy hot soup wafted over, the two immediately stopped talking and began to move closer to the rice pot in the middle.
After having a bowl of spicy soup, everyone immediately felt their bodies warm up. With the addition of hot pancakes, the blood in their bodies began to flow again, making everyone sigh comfortably.
In order to return to W City as soon as possible, they basically walked in a straight line, which meant that they had to pass through some fallen cities, resulting in them basically resting during the day and traveling at night and killing zombies to obtain crystal cores for the past month.
If they had to fight the zombies head-on during the day, they have no chance of winning. Only when the sun has set, the temperature plummets, and the zombies lose their mobility could they harvest the crystal cores.
They waited until the temperature stopped rising during the day before they readjusted to traveling and killing zombies during the day, and resting at night. The journey was relatively smooth so far, and they had already covered a third of the distance.
The next destination is a big city, C City. They plan to go deep into the city center to search for a batch of supplies and see if they can hunt down another group of mutant zombies. Generally, in such a big city, the probability of mutant zombies appearing is higher.
