Chapter 399 Zombies Frozen

This New Year's party didn't last long. It started at six o'clock in the afternoon and ended 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. 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 anything like that.

It’s not that it’s 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 can be regarded as a bit of an atmosphere.

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 apparently got the message, so they didn't leave.

Wang Tao looked at Qu Shilin next to him with some curiosity.

"Do you know what the next event is?"

Yao Guodong told Wang Tao not to leave and left after saying there would be another event later. 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:

"There is a high probability that it is a trade fair... because I received a notice before that after the party, a trade fair within the six major legions will be held. But looking at the situation now, this trade fair seems to have changed. The scale is not limited to Between the six legions..."

"Is there a trade meeting..."

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 preparing to trade before?"

Wang Tao leaned over and asked softly.

"Probably just some weapons and equipment. Anyway, I have nothing to trade here..." Cheng Yiyi shrugged, and then said, "But these traded things shouldn't be used by anyone else, right? After all, it's like tanks, Missiles and the like can only be traded within our six major legions, and no one else should be allowed to participate..."

Cheng Yiyi was also a little confused, and she didn't feel like it was a trade fair.

"Then let's see later..."

Wang Tao didn't ask any more questions.

Not long after, Gu Yun walked onto the stage with a microphone.

"Everyone, I'm sorry for wasting everyone's time. The 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 thing first—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 ends meet...

Anyway, this transaction will have various forms of transactions, which looks quite interesting.

"As for the second thing... the committee plans to arrange a trip to the city tomorrow, led by six legions. Everyone can sign up..."

Wow——

As soon as these words came out, there was an instant uproar.

It's snowing so heavily outside and the weather is so cold. Wouldn't it be like seeking death 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 there is a huge benefit that outweighs the risk...

Doesn't that mean you're going to the cave? But this isn’t the time I mentioned before, right?

At this time, Cheng Yiyi seemed to have gotten 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!"

"..."

Zombies are frozen?

After everyone at the scene was stunned for a moment, they suddenly became excited.

The city hall had previously estimated the number of zombies outside the base. It was conservatively estimated that there were more than 500,000 zombies, and they were 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 missiles or even nuclear bombs are used, but this thing should not be used if possible, otherwise some super zombies may be created, which will cause great trouble to the base.

And now, Gu Yun said that these zombies are frozen!

Isn't that their chance?

If these zombies can be killed, not only can a major threat be eliminated, but more importantly, the crystal cores in the heads of these zombies can be obtained!

At this time, Gu Yun continued:

"According to our estimates, the crystal cores of all the zombies in these zombie tides are worth more than 1 billion..."

"More than 1 billion!"

Everyone exclaimed again, and Wang Tao could feel that many people's breathing was a little rapid.

Worth 1 billion!

If all these crystal cores can be obtained - no, it is impossible to get all of them, even if you can get 1%, it will be 10 million! Let alone 10 million, for an individual, one million can make you financially free, and you can live in the base for the rest of your life!

Of course, for these people, it is definitely impossible to just eat and wait for death, but if they can really get so much money, it can also help them improve their strength a lot.

"So Secretary-General Gu means that the six major legions will lead us out to hunt these frozen zombies?"

Someone asked hurriedly.

"Yes."

Gu Yun nodded, and then said.

"But let me make it clear that the zombies outside are not completely frozen. After all, if they are completely frozen, we can't go out... But their actions are indeed greatly restricted! So, if everyone wants to go out with the six major legions, you can sign up... Of course, going out is still dangerous, so this is all voluntary, and give everyone a day to think about it, don't rush. Next, our trade will officially begin!"

Gu Yun stepped down after he finished speaking, and the people below fell into discussion again.

Cheng Yiyi also came back at this time. She came to Wang Tao and whispered:

"Why didn't I know about this? It's really an emergency. I just asked clearly..."

"... So that's it!"

After listening to Cheng Yiyi's words, Wang Tao suddenly realized.

In short, before the heavy snow, a group of people were trapped outside. Those people were already desperate, but the snow became smaller, so they quickly took the opportunity to run to the base.

On the way back, a group of zombies blocked their way. They thought they would have to go through a fierce battle, but they found that these zombies were frozen by the heavy snow!

Of course, it doesn't mean that the zombies were frozen into ice sculptures, but their movements were greatly restricted.

So this group of people tried to attack, and they found that these zombies were much easier to kill than before!

After killing these zombies, they finally escaped successfully.

After returning, the gatekeepers at the base were surprised that the people trapped outside could come back, so they chatted a little more.

Then they learned that the zombies were frozen, so they quickly reported the news.

When the city hall got the news, it was just when the party started. Yao Guodong left for a while to deal with this matter.

For ordinary people, the freezing of zombies may be a topic of conversation after dinner. But for the city hall, this may be a possibility to eliminate the nearby zombie tide!

If the zombies are frozen as those people said, then they can definitely eliminate the zombie tide by gathering a large army!

But hearing is false, seeing is true.

The premise of eliminating the zombie tide is that the news that the zombies are frozen is accurate. So the city hall immediately sent people out to investigate while reporting the news to the committee.

And they took the risk of sending helicopters to scout.

They found the zombie tide, just as the group of people said before, the zombies in the zombie tide were also frozen and moved extremely slowly!

This is simply a godsend!

If this zombie tide can be eliminated, not only can the threat of zombies be solved, but also a large number of crystal cores can be obtained! Win-win!

And this time is just right. If it is earlier, the zombies are not frozen, then there is naturally no way; if it is later, when the zombies are completely frozen, the difficulty of killing may be lower, but whether they can come out is a problem-if the temperature is too low, they are afraid of freezing to death! Not to mention if there is a blizzard, the road cannot be seen... So the opportunity cannot be missed, and the zombies outside must be killed now!

Just when watching the evening party, 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 passed by a majority vote.

Before the end of the evening party, Yao Guodong immediately arranged for people to retain the guests in the hall. 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 fair was suddenly expanded from the six major legions to all the forces present, just to let everyone improve their strength while they can now, and don’t go out to drag their feet.

The reason why Cheng Yiyi didn't know was because the committee had just passed a resolution and hadn't informed her yet.

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

Wang Tao nodded.

Although the zombies are still some distance away from the base and have no intention of rushing towards the base, it is still a big threat, especially since the zombies are still growing and may besiege the base one day.

If there is a chance to eliminate this zombie tide, it must be captured, not to mention that there are so many crystal cores...

However, after listening to this, Qu Shilin frowned.

"But there is a problem - how can we guarantee that there will be no blizzard after we go out tomorrow? Although the heavy snow has stopped now, what if it snows again tomorrow after we go out tomorrow?"

There is no way to guarantee this, because her meteorologist colleagues can't predict when it will snow, and can only speculate that it will snow more often in this winter.

"So, this is also a gamble. Going out is very risky. Of course, the base also considers that there may be extreme situations, and they have some contingency plans..."

Cheng Yiyi said.

Lan Yulian and others who had been silent looked at Wang Tao, asking Wang Tao if he would go.

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

Xiang Hongbin suddenly laughed and spoke.

After his body was modified, it was both heat-resistant and frost-resistant, and his combat effectiveness would be higher in places with lower temperatures - because his mechanical prostheses would heat up after long-term use. If the temperature of the environment he was in was low, it would help his mechanical prostheses cool down and avoid being burned, so that they could always perform at their best!

Wang Tao nodded and said:

"You can consider it. Let's take a look at the specific plans of the base first..."

Gu Yun only mentioned this matter, and the specific details were not mentioned.

Wang Tao was still a little afraid of this matter, not because of zombies, but because of nature...

At this time, the trade fair had already begun.

Originally, this trade fair came a little too suddenly for everyone on the scene. Except for the six major legions, no one else was prepared and didn't know what to trade. But now after listening to Gu Yun's talk, they instantly clarified their goal - trading things that can immediately improve their combat effectiveness!

This time, the six major legions led the team personally. Since the establishment of the Changhe Base, there have been few such large-scale operations.

Being with the six legions, there is no doubt that they feel safe, but they are going to hunt zombies, and their own safety is far from enough. They can't just sit there and wait for such a good opportunity, they must seize this opportunity!

Some people have already started shouting, some are selling weapons, some want to cooperate for win-win results, and some are selling some messy things, saying that they can improve combat effectiveness...

Wang Tao was about to go for a turn, and suddenly someone came over.

"President Lan, does your Spark have time? I would like to ask you to help me awaken..."
