Chapter 399 Zombies Frozen
This New Year's party didn't last long, starting at six o'clock in the afternoon and ending at nine o'clock in the evening.
The main purpose of the party is to show the residents in the base the current strength of the base and describe the beauty of the future, so that they can have confidence in the new year.
After the party, of course the live broadcast also ended. The residents in front of the screen should eat the New Year's Eve dinner, and those who have finished can go to bed early. After all, it has been too cold these two days, and the quilt is still warm. If you don't want to go to bed so early, you can also stay awake until midnight to welcome the arrival of the New Year.
There are naturally no fireworks, firecrackers or the like.
It's not that they're afraid of attracting zombies. Changhe Base is big enough. If you set off firecrackers inside, the sound won't be transmitted, let alone the high walls. The main reason is that gunpowder is a strategic material. If you can save it, save it and use it in the right place.
However, when waiting for midnight, the speakers in the base will sound at that time, counting down to welcome the New Year, which is somewhat atmospheric.
In the Great Hall where the party was held, the live broadcast of the party was over, but the event was not completely over.
Everyone who attended the party obviously received the message, so none of them left.
Wang Tao looked at Qu Shilin next to him with some curiosity.
"Do you know what the next activity is?"
Yao Guodong asked Wang Tao not to leave, saying that there would be another activity later and then left. Wang Tao didn't even have time to ask what it was.
Qu Shilin shook her head.
“I don’t know either.”
Wang Tao looked at Cheng Yiyi on the other side.
Cheng Yiyi obviously knew something. She explained in a low voice:
"It is most likely a trade fair...because I received a notice before that after the party, a trade within the six legions will be held. Yes. But looking at the situation now, this trade fair seems to have changed. The scale is not limited to the six legions..."
"A trade fair..."
Wang Tao pondered .
Now in this great hall, there should be people from all medium and above forces in the entire base. If a trade fair is held at this time, the scale will be quite large. But this trade fair was held too suddenly, and they were not prepared...
"What were you planning to trade before?"
Wang Tao leaned over and asked in a low voice.
"Probably just some weapons and equipment. Anyway, I have nothing to trade here..." Cheng Yiyi shrugged, and then said, "But these traded things should not be used by anyone else, right?" ? After all, things like tanks and missiles can only be traded within our six armies, and no one else should be allowed to participate..."
Cheng Yiyi was also a little confused, and she didn't feel like it. It's a trade fair.
"Let's see later..."
Wang Tao didn't ask any more questions.
Not long after, Gu Yun walked onto the stage holding a microphone.
“Everyone, I’m sorry for wasting everyone’s time. This next event was added temporarily, so I didn’t notify you in advance... But this is a very important matter. Please don’t leave in a hurry... There are two things in total, let’s talk about the first one - the trade fair..."
"It’s really a trade fair!"
Wang Tao raised his eyebrows.
However, after listening to Gu Yun's explanation, Wang Tao found that the transaction was a little different from what he had imagined. In addition to taking money to buy things in the traditional sense, there are also various cooperations.
For example, you can spend money to ask the six legions to do something. The more difficult the thing is, the more money you will spend.
For another example, you can ask someone to help you awaken. This price is probably very expensive, but if you can succeed, you will make a lot of money.
You can even "sell yourself" - in fact, it means finding a boss to make a living...
Anyway, this transaction will have various forms of transactions, which looks quite interesting. of.
"As for the second thing... the committee plans to arrange a trip to the city tomorrow, led by the six legions. Everyone can sign up..."
Wow——
As soon as these words came out of his mouth , causing a burst of noise in an instant.
With such heavy snow and cold weather outside, wouldn’t it be a death wish to go out at this time?
Although the snow this afternoon has lightened up and is not as scary as the previous blizzard, who knows whether it will continue to snow in the future!
Wang Tao also frowned a little.
It is obviously unwise to leave the city at this time, it is too dangerous. Unless a huge benefit can be obtained, which outweighs the risk...
Isn't that why you are planning to go to the catacombs? But this isn’t the time I mentioned before, right?
At this time, Cheng Yiyi seemed to have received some news and got up directly to go to the committee.
Gu Yun waited until everyone talked for a while before continuing:
"We have just received news that it is basically a land of ice and snow outside the base. I know it is definitely not appropriate to go out at this time, but we found that the zombies in the zombie wave outside... seem to be frozen!"
"..."
The zombies were frozen?
After being stunned for a moment, everyone at the scene suddenly became excited.
The city hall has previously estimated the number of zombies outside the base. It is conservatively estimated that there are more than 500,000 zombies, and they are all third- and fourth-level zombies, with a large proportion of elite zombies. As for the lord zombies, there aren't many, but there are a few fifth-level ones, and there seems to even be a sixth-level one.
Let’s not talk about the lord zombies, let’s talk about these ordinary and elite zombies. Although they are dangerous, they also represent a large number of crystal nuclei!
Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to kill so many zombies. Unless big killers like missiles or even nuclear bombs are used, this should be used if possible. Otherwise, some super zombies may be created and cause great trouble to the base.
And now, Gu Yun said that these zombies were frozen!
Isn’t this their chance?
If you can kill these zombies, you will not only eliminate a big threat, but more importantly, you can get the crystal cores in the heads of these zombies!
At this time, Gu Yun continued to speak:
"According to our estimates, the total value of the crystal nuclei of all the zombies in these zombie waves is probably more than one billion..."
"Ten More than 100 million!”
Everyone exclaimed again, and Wang Tao could feel that many people were breathing quickly.
It’s worth one billion!
If we could get all these crystal nuclei - no, it's impossible to get them all. Even if we could get one percent of them, that would be 10 million! Not to mention 10 million, for an individual, 1 million can bring wealth and freedom, and he will spend the rest of his life eating in the base and waiting to die!
Of course, it is definitely impossible for people like them to eat and wait to die, but if they can get so much money, it can help them improve a lot of strength. "So what Secretary-General Gu means is that the Six Legions are going to lead us out to hunt these frozen zombies?"
Someone asked quickly.
“Yes.”
Gu Yun nodded, and then said.
“But I have to make it clear that the zombies outside have not been completely frozen. After all, if they were completely frozen, we wouldn’t be able to go out...but their actions were indeed greatly affected. restrictions! Therefore, if you want to go out with the six legions, you can Sign up... Of course, there is still some danger in going out, so this is all voluntary, and we give everyone one day to think about it, so there is no need to rush. Next, our trading meeting will officially begin!”
Gu Yun! After speaking, he stepped down from the stage, and the people below fell into the discussion again.
Cheng Yiyi happened to be back at this time. She came to Wang Tao and whispered:
"I said why didn't I know about this! It was really an emergency. I had just Ask clearly..."
"...So that's it!"
After listening to Cheng Yiyi's words, Wang Tao suddenly realized.
To put it simply, before the heavy snowfall, a group of people were trapped outside. Those people were already desperate, but as the snow became lighter again, they quickly seized the opportunity to run to the base.
On the way back, a group of zombies blocked their way. They thought they were going to have a fierce battle, but they found that these zombies were frozen by the heavy snow!
Of course, it’s not that the zombies are frozen into ice sculptures, but that their movements are greatly restricted.
So this group of people tried to attack, and sure enough they found that these zombies were much easier to kill than before!
After killing these zombies, they finally managed to escape.
After returning, the gatekeeper at the base was surprised that the people trapped outside could come back, so they chatted a few more words.
Then they learned that the zombies were frozen, so they quickly reported the news.
When the city hall got the news, it happened to be the beginning of the party. Yao Guodong left midway to deal with this matter.
For ordinary people, frozen zombies may be a topic of conversation after dinner. But for the city hall, this may be the possibility to eliminate the zombie tide in the neighborhood!
If the zombies are frozen as those people said, then they can definitely eliminate the zombie tide by gathering an army!
But what you hear is false, and what you see is true.
The prerequisite for eliminating the zombie tide is that the news that the zombies are frozen is accurate. So the city hall = while reporting the news to the committee, they immediately sent people out to investigate.
And he took the risk of sending a helicopter for reconnaissance.
They found the zombie wave. Just as the previous group of people said, the zombies in the zombie wave were also frozen and moved extremely slowly!
This is simply a God-sent opportunity!
If this zombie tide can be eliminated, not only will the threat of zombies be eliminated, but a large number of crystal nuclei will also be obtained! Win-win!
And this time is just right. If it were earlier and the zombies were not frozen, there would be nothing we could do; if it were later and the zombies were completely frozen, the difficulty of killing might be lower, but Whether they can come out is a question - if the temperature is too low, they are afraid of freezing to death! Not to mention that if there is a snowstorm, you can't see the road... So you can't miss the opportunity, you have to kill those zombies outside now!
While watching the party just now, the 23 members of the committee had actually held an internal meeting, and the plan to take the opportunity to go out and hunt zombies was approved by multiple votes.
Before the party ended, Yao Guodong immediately arranged for someone to keep the guests in the auditorium. After all, this matter should be done sooner rather than later. The final plan is set today and we can set off tomorrow!
This is also the reason why the original trade meeting suddenly expanded in scale from the six major legions to all the forces present. It is to let everyone improve their strength as soon as possible while they can. Go out and hold things back.
The reason Cheng Yiyi didn't know was because the committee had just passed the resolution and hadn't had time to notify her yet.
"That being said, this is indeed an opportunity..."
Wang Tao nodded.
Although the zombie tide is still some distance away from the base and has no intention of rushing towards the base, it is still a big threat, especially as the zombie tide continues to grow and may one day besiege the base.
If there is a chance to eliminate this zombie tide, we must seize it, let alone such a crystal core...
But after listening to it, Qu Shilin, But he frowned.
“But there is a problem - how can we guarantee that there will not be a blizzard after we go out tomorrow? Although the heavy snow has stopped now, what if it snows again after we go out tomorrow?”< br>
There is no way to guarantee this, because her meteorologist colleagues cannot predict when it will snow. They can only speculate that it will snow more often this winter.
"So, this is also a gamble. Going out is very risky. Of course, the base also considers that extreme situations may occur, and they have some contingency plans..."
Cheng Yiyi said .
Lan Yulian and others, who had been silent, looked at Wang Tao and asked him if he was going.
"I think I can go, because I'm not afraid of the cold, haha!"
Xiang Hongbin suddenly laughed and said.
After his body was modified, it is both heat-resistant and frost-resistant, and his combat effectiveness will be higher in places with lower temperatures - because his mechanical prostheses will heat up after being used for a long time. If the ambient temperature he is in Low, it can assist his mechanical prosthetic body to cool down, avoid being burned out, and can always exert its maximum performance!
Wang Tao nodded and said:
"We can think about it. Let's first see what the specific plans are for the base..."
Gu Yun just mentioned this. Things, the specific details haven’t been revealed yet.
Wang Tao is still a little afraid of this matter, not because of zombies, but because of nature...
At this time, the trade fair has begun.
Originally, for everyone at the scene, this trade meeting came a bit too suddenly. Except for the six legions, no one else had any preparation and did not know what to trade. But now after listening to Gu Yun's words, they instantly understood their goal - to trade something that could immediately improve their combat effectiveness!
This time, the six legions personally led the team. Since the establishment of Changhe Base, there have been few such large-scale operations.
Being with the six legions, there is no need to say that they feel safe, but they are hunting zombies, and their own safety is far from enough. They cannot take advantage of such a good opportunity. This opportunity must be Gotta get a grip!
Some people have started to shout. Some sell weapons, some want win-win cooperation, and some sell some messy things, saying they can improve combat effectiveness...
Wang Tao was about to go for a walk when someone suddenly came over.
"President Lan, will your Spark have time? I would like to ask you to help me awaken..."
