Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 1002 - 398 Zombies Frozen_2

Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible to kill so many zombies. The only way would be to use missiles or even nuclear weapons, but those are last resorts to be avoided if possible; otherwise, they might create super zombies, which would cause major trouble for the base.

But now, Gu Yun had announced that the zombies had been frozen!

Wasn't that their opportunity knocking?

If they could take out these zombies, not only could a significant threat be removed, but more importantly, they could acquire the Crystal Cores inside the zombies' heads!

At this point, Gu Yun continued:

"According to our estimates, the total value of the Crystal Cores from all the zombies in this horde is worth over a billion..."

"Over a billion!"

There were gasps of astonishment once more, and Wang Tao could feel many people's breathing becoming rapid.

A billion in value!

If they could get their hands on all these Crystal Cores—no, getting them all was impossible, but even if they got just one percent, that would be ten million! Let alone ten million, for an individual, a million would mean financial freedom, living out the rest of their days in the base with nothing to worry about!

Of course, for people like them, just idling away was out of the question, but if they could actually get that much money, it would vastly increase their strength.

"Does Head Secretary Gu mean that the Six Major Legions are going to lead us out to hunt these frozen zombies?"

Someone eagerly asked.

"Yes."

Gu Yun nodded, and then added.

"However, I must make it clear that the zombies outside haven't been completely frozen. After all, if they were totally frozen, we wouldn't be able to go out... but their movements have been severely restricted! So, if you want to join the Six Major Legions in going out, you can sign up... Of course, there's still some danger involved, so it's completely voluntary, and everyone is given a day to think it over without any rush. Now, let's proceed with the official start of our trade meeting!"

After Gu Yun finished speaking, he stepped down from the stage, and the crowd fell into discussion once again.

It was at this moment that Cheng Yiyi came back. She approached Wang Tao and whispered:

"I was wondering why I hadn't heard about this! It's really a sudden development, I just got the details cleared up..."

"...So that's what happened!"

After listening to Cheng Yiyi, Wang Tao suddenly understood.

Simply put, before the heavy snow, a group of people had been trapped outside. They had been in despair, but when the snow lessened, they quickly seized the opportunity and ran towards the base.

On their way back, they were blocked by a horde of zombies. They thought they were in for a fierce battle, but they found the zombies were immobilized by the heavy snow!

Of course, it's not to say that the zombies had been turned into ice sculptures, but their movements were greatly hindered.

So the group tried attacking and, sure enough, found these zombies were far easier to kill than before!

After killing these zombies, they finally managed to escape back to the base.

After their return, the guards at the base were surprised that people who had been trapped outside could actually come back, so they chatted a bit more.

Then they learned about the zombies being frozen and promptly reported this news.

At City Hall, where the news arrived, it coincided with the start of the evening event. Yao Guodong had left for a while precisely to deal with this matter.

For ordinary people, frozen zombies might just be something to chat about over tea. But for City Hall, this could be an opportunity to wipe out the nearby zombie horde!

If it was as the survivors said, and the zombies were indeed frozen, then assembling the military could certainly annihilate the horde!

But hearing is not as good as seeing.

The prerequisite for eliminating the horde was accurate information about the zombies being frozen. So, while reporting the news to the Committee, City Hall immediately dispatched people to investigate.

And they had risked dispatching a helicopter for reconnaissance.

They found the zombie horde, just like those people had said before, the zombies within the horde were also frozen, moving extremely slowly!

This was simply a godsend!

If they could really eliminate this zombie horde, not only would they resolve the threat of the zombies, but they would also obtain a large number of Crystal Cores! A win-win situation!

And the timing was just right, if it were any earlier, and the zombies hadn't been frozen, there would naturally be nothing they could do; if it were any later, by the time the zombies were completely frozen, the difficulty of killing them might be lower, but whether they could go out would be an issue—if the temperature were too low, they were afraid of freezing to death too! Not to mention if there were blizzards, they wouldn't even be able to see the road... so they couldn't miss this opportunity, they needed to kill those zombies outside now!

Just now, during the evening gala, the 23 members of the committee had actually held an internal meeting, and the plan to take the opportunity to hunt the zombies had been approved by a majority vote.

Before the evening gala ended, Yao Guodong immediately arranged for someone to detain the guests in the auditorium, after all, this matter was better done sooner rather than later; they could finalize the ultimate plan today, and set out tomorrow!

This was also the reason why the originally scheduled trade fair was suddenly expanded, from the Six Major Legions to all the forces present; they wanted everyone to take the opportunity to enhance their power now, rather than being a drag later on.

And Cheng Yiyi didn't know about it because the committee's decision, which had just been passed, hadn't been communicated to her in time.

"In that case, this is indeed an opportunity..."

Wang Tao nodded.

Although the zombie horde was still some distance from the base and didn't seem intent on assaulting the base, it was still a very big threat, especially since the horde kept growing and might one day besiege the base.

If there was a chance to wipe out this zombie horde, it was definitely one to seize, not to mention the Crystal Cores...

However, after hearing the whole story, Qu Shilin furrowed her brows.

"But there is a problem—how can we ensure that there won't be a blizzard once we go out tomorrow? Even though the heavy snow has stopped now, what if it snows again after we head out tomorrow?"

This was something that simply couldn't be guaranteed, because her meteorologist colleagues also couldn't predict exactly when it would snow, they could only guess that there would be a higher frequency of snowfall during this winter season.

"So, it's a gamble, going out is very risky. Of course, the base has also considered the possibility of extreme situations arising, and they have some contingency plans..."

Cheng Yiyi said.

Lan Yulian and the others who had been silent up until now looked towards Wang Tao, asking whether he would go or not.

"I think we can go because I'm not afraid of the cold, haha!"

Xiang Hongbin suddenly burst out laughing.

After his body was modified, it became resistant to both heat and cold, and his combat power would be higher in colder places—because his mechanical prosthetics would heat up with prolonged use. If the temperature of his surroundings was low, it could assist in cooling down his mechanical body, preventing it from overheating and allowing it to maintain peak performance at all times!

Wang Tao nodded and said,

"We can consider it, let's first see what the specific plans of the base are..."

Gu Yun had only brought up the matter, but hadn't discussed the specifics yet.

Wang Tao was still somewhat wary of this mission, not of the zombies, but of nature itself...

At this moment, the trade fair had begun.

For the people present, the trade fair had come a bit too suddenly. Apart from the Six Major Legions, the others had no preparation and didn't know what to trade. But now, after hearing what Gu Yun had said, they instantly had a clear objective—trade for items that could immediately improve their combat abilities!

This time it was the Six Major Legions personally leading the teams, and since the establishment of Changhe Base, there had been few large-scale operations like this.

Being with the Six Major Legions, safety was certainly assured, but since they were going to hunt zombies, personal safety was far from enough. They couldn't let such a good opportunity go to waste; they had to seize it!

People had already started hawking their wares; there were those selling weapons, those looking for win-win cooperation, and others selling all sorts of odds and ends, claiming they could enhance combat abilities...

Wang Tao was about to take a look around when someone approached him.

"President Lan, does your Starfire Society have some time? I'd like to seek your help with an Awakening..."
