The newly established safe zone already had very few survivors who had already completed their observation period.

After Gong Yi ran out of the safe zone, all the garrison troops who remained in the safe zone, fully armed, began to assemble.

Before Ni Shuiwen and Hua Mi knew what had happened, the garrison had already assembled and started broadcasting through the loudspeaker.

The loudspeaker was hung high on the flagpole, a very opportune spot, but the sound could travel very far.

"Attention survivors, survivors entering the safe zone, please note that due to temperature conditions, the ice ahead has collapsed. Survivors in the safe zone, please prepare for battle immediately or leave the D City safe zone."

The survivors, who had just been released from the observation period, were practically jumping for joy.

How did the ice layer collapse?

The temperature is still so low.

Although it's no longer snowing, the ice didn't form overnight, and it will be a long time before it thaws.

No one is even sure if it will thaw.

The temperature may stay this way; it won't snow anymore, but it also won't rise any further.

This is the best option for the survivors.

One of the survivors complained.

"What bad luck! Aren't they supposed to be very capable? How could they let the ice collapse?"

The next instant, a styrofoam box hit him on the head.

Because of the immense force, the styrofoam box shattered into pieces, and the survivor who was hit fell directly to the ground, experiencing a moment of dizziness.

"If you hadn't bombed indiscriminately and affected the ice structure, would the ice have collapsed?"

Hua Mi stepped forward and, with her pregnant belly protruding, stomped on the survivor's stomach twice.

They practically stepped on the other person's shit.

Originally, blasting through the ice layer was like blowing up a building in a busy urban area; it required directional blasting.

One wrong move and it could affect the ice structure, causing the entire large ice sheet to crack.

This kind of thing should definitely be done by professionals.

Gong Yi, who possesses psychic abilities, is also needed to first investigate how many zombies are beneath the ice.

Too many bombs will not only overwhelm the garrison, but will also endanger ordinary survivors.

It was at this moment that the survivors outside the safe zone began to erupt in uproar.

They heard it; it was the sound of zombies.

"I heard it's coming in this direction."

Someone pointed straight ahead, their face pale.

Some people pointed in different directions.

"No, it should be here, here."

Finally, everyone realized that the zombies' howls came from all directions.

The loudspeakers blaring to recruit combat personnel for the garrison are still ringing.

Shi Caixia, carrying two axes and leading Xiao Fu, hurried over, weaving through the sparse survivors.

"Ami, something terrible has happened! A large section of ice has collapsed, and it's said that there are 300,000 zombies behind that section of ice."

Releasing 300,000 zombies at once would be difficult for anyone to handle.

The reason why 300,000 zombies appeared behind that ice layer was because that area was a disaster relief center at the time.

It's hard to imagine how long ago the zombies in D City existed; they were originally frozen in the ice.

Ni Shuiwen and the other civilian survivors launched a fierce bombardment at the ice layer.

That's how the ice layer above the heads of those 300,000 zombies was shattered.

In addition, they themselves keep struggling and crashing under the ice.

That's how they broke down a large section of ice.

This is not the most critical situation.

The collapse of a massive ice sheet affects far more than just the local ice structure.

It is very likely that this will loosen the ice layer of the entire city.

That'll be quite a spectacle.

All the zombies in D City will come out and roam around.

As Shi Caixia was speaking, some survivors from the safe zone rushed to the newly repaired vending machine.

He patted the vending machine.

"Where are the teleportation tickets? Where are the teleportation tickets for Xiangcheng? Why aren't they being restocked? I need to leave this place!"

Ikegawa, standing to the side, shoved the crazed survivor aside.

"Don't go crazy, I just had this machine fixed."

There are teleportation tickets for sale in the safe zone of City D, but they are not yet available.

Given these survivors' lack of respect for public property, wouldn't adding more goods at this time be encouraging them to buy things for free?

The survivor who had been pushed to the ground got up again and rushed towards Ikegawa.

He might want to fight Ikegawa.

However, most of the survivors in this safe zone haven't drunk [Energy Drops] in a long time.

All the "energy drops" in the vending machines were sold for free, and some people couldn't even buy them.

Because the people from Chichuan were responsible for transporting supplies, Hua Mi gave each of them a bag of [energy crystal beads].

Chi Chuan had an [energy crystal] hanging close to his skin around his neck.

With the presence of the [Energy Crystal Bead], he doesn't need to drink [Energy Water Drops], and his strength is greater than that of many people.

He also has better energy than the average person.

The weakened survivors were no match for Ikegawa.

Chaos erupted in the safe zone.

Ni Shuiwen approached Hua Mi, his face showing anxiety, and whispered:

"Is your husband confident? I'm telling you, if he can't handle it, we should try to evacuate the survivors first."

Hua Mi turned around with a fierce look, staring at Ni Shuiwen behind her.

"He needs you to teach him? Who are you to make him do what you say?"

"Aren't we recruiting combatants? You're all able-bodied, so go out and kill zombies to earn money, which will help relieve some of the pressure on D City."

"Fine, you're unwilling to help kill zombies, but can't you fight your way out of D City yourselves? How old are you? You're not exactly naive, why do you need garrison support to help with the evacuation?"

These words made Ni Shuiwen grit his teeth. He looked at Hua Mi with dark, brooding eyes.

"There's no need to be so harsh. I'm only thinking about the majority of survivors."

"If you're so kind, why don't you find your wife first?"

Hua Mi ignored Ni Shuiwen and walked directly to the exit of the safe zone, then stopped and said to Chi Chuan.

"Find a few more people to guard the vending machines. If anyone tries to buy something for free, just hold them down and throw them out to feed the zombies."

She refused to believe that she couldn't curb this unhealthy trend.

The zombies' howls on the street corner grew louder, and all the garrison troops, both inside and outside the safe zone, set off to kill the zombies, except for a few guarding the safe zone.

Survivors outside the safe zone trembled in fear.

Someone shouted at the guards across the electric fence.

"Hurry up and let us in! The zombies are coming, and we'll be eaten!"

Hua Mi threw out several electric nets.

"Since you're just sitting around outside anyway, lay the electric fence on the ground and keep the zombies away from you."

"Keep going, hold on for 48 hours, and you'll win. I believe you are the best."
