Chapter 42: Extreme Cold Begins

There was a "clang" sound, which was particularly clear in the quiet square. Lianyi and Sun Wang's pupils shrank, because the Lei Yao sword only cut off half of the neck of the level 5 zombie, and did not completely cut off its head.

Lianyi reacted quickly, turned his wrist and pulled back his Lei Yao sword, while Sun Wang immediately took his men away.

Because of the excessive force, this level 5 zombie was thrown to the center of the square.

"attack!"

Zhou Mei gave the order again.

The crystal core gun's attack sounded again, and they also discovered that ordinary thermal weapons caused limited damage to level 5 zombies. On the contrary, the crystal core gun's attack was more effective.

Sun Wang and Lianyi had already retreated to the edge of the square and reunited with Captain Eagle Wing.

"then!"

Eagle Wing threw a fourth-level crystal core to Sun Wang so that he could recover as quickly as possible, and Lianyi had already held two fourth-level crystal cores in his hands while moving.

"Unfortunately, it was just a little bit off."

Eagle Mastiff said regretfully.

"Only Purple Eagle's attack can do that. Don't forget that she is a power-type mutant. If you and I go up to her, we can only scratch her skin."

Yingyi replied calmly, then turned to Lianyi and said:

"The falcon has chosen a commanding position and will try to conduct a long-range sniping attack."

Yingshuang was born as a sniper with excellent eyesight, and his awakened supernatural power is also in this area. After the crystal core gun was developed, he specially applied for crystal core bullets specifically for sniping, and is now looking for the best opportunity to attack.

"Captain, notify Captain Falcon to shoot the neck that I broke."

"Okay, you take a break first."

Eagle Wing immediately notified Falcon on the intercom.

At this time, Falcon was on the top of a 32-story building in the inner city of the capital. He was not the only one here. There was also a special sniper from the military base in the capital who had received the same mission as him. There were also other long-range attackers scattered on the rooftops of nearby intact high-rise buildings.

As Falcon fired the first shot, other snipers also found their positions and began to attack.

Combined with the intensive attacks around the square, the level 5 zombie was beaten back step by step, roaring angrily, but unfortunately there were no more zombies with special powers to support him.

At this time, a man came to Zhou Mei's ear and whispered something, which made her look happy. She immediately called for a team of six people to leave with the man.

After the crystal core gun stopped attacking, the psychics surrounded it. This was a level five crystal core, and it would be a lie to say they weren't jealous.

By the time Lianyi and Sun Wang's abilities were restored, Yingyi and the others had already fought a coordinated battle and added new scars to the level 5 zombies.

"Sister Lianyi, I'm ready! We must finish each other off this time."

Sun Wang stretched his body and prepared himself for the attack.

Lianyi actually didn't want to move. The level 5 zombie had been destroyed, and other psychics could have worn him to death. However, seeing that Sun Wang was so active, she didn't want to spoil his fun, so she made preparations and attacked again.

This time, Lian Yi pierced the chest of the level 5 zombie with a sword, nailing it to the ground, then teleported to its head, stuffed an egg-sized thunder ball into its mouth, and quickly retreated.

The purple lightning "crackled" and instantly enveloped the opponent's head. The level 5 zombie kept shaking, holding the Lei Yao sword on his chest with his pale hands, trying to break the sword.

Unfortunately, the hardness of the sword was beyond the opponent's expectations. Not only did he fail to break the sword, but he was hit again by the lightning power attached to the sword, which was simply adding insult to injury.

Another level 4 gold-type mutant chose the right time and immediately used his condensed golden dagger to finish off the zombie, completely chopping off its head.

"The level 5 zombie has been eliminated and cannot become the future zombie king! Four-fifths of the mission progress has been completed. Congratulations to the tasker. You are only one step away from completing the mission. Please keep working hard!"

The communicator's voice suddenly sounded again.

"This sounds familiar. You said it once before when you helped General Zhou take control of the capital base!"

Lianyi absolutely believes in her memory.

"Sizzle. Sizzle. The end of the world is about to usher in extremely cold and hot weather. Please take care of yourself and help the small world complete its evolution."

Then the communicator fell silent again.

Lianyi was so angry that she was about to fall over. After completing the task in this small world, she would definitely complain about this communicator and give him a one-star bad review.

The level five zombies were eliminated, and the crystal core returned to the base. However, all the psychics who participated in the interception had a good harvest. They could choose between food and crystal cores, which made their hard work worthwhile.

At the same time, Sang Sheng and his followers were all captured. In order to appease the anger of the survivors of the capital base, the culprits of the zombie attack were publicly executed three days later.

This approach won the favor of the survivors, and coupled with appropriate compensation, the crisis was successfully resolved and the capital base slowly returned to its former bustle.

While waiting for the upgraded defense shield, the escort team in City W also occasionally accepted the task of clearing zombies. When the crystal core guns began to be distributed at the base, the Black Panther and Chaoyang teams, like other corpse hunting teams, accepted the task of promoting the crystal core guns. On the way back to City W, they sold the crystal core guns to the survivor bases along the way.

This task is mainly aimed at some small bases. Generally, large bases will directly send people to the capital base to learn, purchase, or exchange the manufacturing technology of crystal core guns.

Of course, 30% of the income here belongs to the W City Survivor Base. After all, this was the first one they developed and upgraded.

When everyone's superpowers were about to break through level five, the first extreme cold weather appeared. The temperature dropped suddenly without any warning, from a high temperature of 35 degrees during the day to minus 35 degrees at night, and it continued to drop.

The corpse-hunting team that went out was very sensitive to the fact that something was wrong, so they rushed back to the base overnight and reported the information they had discovered to the base's higher-ups.

General Zhou looked at the latest news compiled by his subordinates with a frown on his face. The temperature dropped sharply, and it was easier for those with special abilities, but it was very difficult for ordinary survivors. Moreover, the zombies also stopped moving because of the extremely cold weather.

The Zhou siblings have already begun arranging for the warmth of the survivors in the base and have been so busy that Lianyi and Yingyi come to find them at this time.

"You two, the upgrade of the crystal core defense shield has been completed, but it will take time to make a new defense shield. However, it will be done soon. I hope you can wait patiently for a few days."

Zhou Mei thought they were here to urge her to get the protective shield ready, so she immediately started to explain.

After they acquired the crystal core gun technology, the researchers focused on the manufacture and production of the crystal core gun, and the upgrade of the defense shield technology was indeed delayed.

"Don't worry, we've been waiting for so long, one or two days won't make a difference."

Lianyi said with a smile, which made Zhou Mei feel a little embarrassed.

"So, is there anything you need?"

"We are here just to tell you some bad news. The extreme cold weather will last for a year. During this year, the zombies will lose their ability to move. But once the extreme cold weather ends, all the zombies will be upgraded."
