Chapter 639 Ice City
Because brute force alone is not enough to build a sturdy city, talented technicians are often the ones who can play the most crucial role.
To be honest, Qingyu felt a little unbalanced at the moment and began to doubt her own life.
He's good at saving people too, you could say he's better than anyone else...
The two sides split up more than a month ago and are both heading towards the rendezvous point. How come the survivors they rescued along the way have no talent whatsoever?
How come Han Shuo, this kid, bumped into so many high-end technical personnel just by casually touching them?
...
Thinking of this, Qingyu sighed deeply with a bitter expression.
Sigh~
"Comparing yourself to others will only make you miserable."
However, he quickly regained his composure and jokingly nudged Han Shuo.
"Go, go, now that you've let me know you're safe, hurry up and get some more people from outside."
"I need all sorts of people: construction engineers, machinists, fitters, welders... even gangsters who like to fight!"
...
"Well……"
All the soldiers present were stunned for a moment. It was clear that this was the first time they had seen their commander with such an interesting side.
Qingyu is really happy today!
Han Shuo smiled and waved his hand before speaking.
"Alright, bro, stop fooling around. I've finished explaining things on my end. Now, tell me, what's going on?"
As he spoke, he pointed to the ice wall in front of him.
"Oh, right, right, let's get down to business."
Qingyu patted his forehead, his expression turning serious, and immediately began to speak.
"I'm prepared to begin my final battle with the Zombie King right here!"
...
He ignored the three astonished people in front of him and continued his story.
“We arrived here half a month ago, and at that time I also took a detailed look at the surrounding environment.”
"I've discovered that we can't occupy advantageous terrain in the cities we've built before, because there are no walls around them, and the streets and alleys are not suitable for our soldiers to fight!"
"The Zombie King's army of the dead is endless. If we take the initiative to attack, we will only die faster. Only by protecting ourselves and fighting a defensive battle can we buy more time for you and Feng to kill the Zombie King in the great battle!"
"I couldn't find a suitable location for defensive operations nearby, so I had no choice but to build my own city."
As he said this, he pointed to the ice surface not far away.
"This cold country just happened to give me this opportunity."
"With an inexhaustible supply of large blocks of ice, and temperatures that remain below zero for extended periods, walls made of stacked ice, when reinforced with water, will not only not melt, but will become even stronger."
"I will name this city Ice City!"
"Ice City is where we will either achieve victory or perish together with the Zombie King!"
...
Han Shuo nodded, feeling that Qingyu's city-building plan was indeed quite good.
He looked at the soldiers busily working ahead and asked a question.
"Brother, how high are you planning to build the surrounding walls?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qingyu replied immediately.
"Of course, the higher the better. We're just getting started, only a little over three meters tall. I don't know how much time we have left."
"However, as long as the Zombie King doesn't arrive, I'll have the walls kept getting higher, hmm..."
"It would be best to make the wall at least 50 meters high. If time allows, we should also make the wall thicker. That way, even giant zombies won't be able to break through it. We can not only attack from above the wall, but also withstand the zombie horde for a long time."
Upon hearing this, the fat man couldn't help but sigh.
"My goodness, that's a huge investment, truly a huge investment!"
...
Han Shuo greatly admired Qing Yu's determination, but he was still a little worried and asked her.
"What about aerial forces? The walls can stop zombies, alien species, and zombified beasts, but they can't stop flying zombie birds."
"As you saw last time, the Zombie King has already taken control of the death forces in the sky. When the swarms of corpse birds that blot out the sky attack, how should we deal with it?"
His question hit the nail on the head.
Qingyu frowned, pondered for a long time, but still couldn't come up with a better answer, so she could only respond helplessly.
"Well... there's really no way to do that right now."
"However, we can deal with ordinary swarms of corpse birds now. The zombie king is not going to appear, and it is unlikely that a swarm of corpse birds that would cover the entire sky will appear."
"Hmm... I'll discuss this with everyone later to see if we have any solutions to deal with the aerial corpse birds."
After he finished speaking, he waved to the four of them.
"Alright, we've been standing outside for ages. It's pretty cold here. Let's go inside first. I set up your new place right away. It's even more luxurious than my own place. Aren't you going to take a look?"
"Also, your other brothers should have heard the news of your return. They must have missed you for a long time after being apart for more than a month."
As soon as he finished speaking, the fat man urged him on.
"Okay, okay, okay, let's go back and talk. Let's hurry up and go."
Within minutes, he was shivering from the cold.
...
Han Shuo nodded and prepared to go in and take a look at the magnificent building designed by Qing Yu himself.
"Ice City, Ice City? Interesting..."
The group set off, led by Qingyu, towards the still unfinished small city.
To his surprise, Han Shuo had only taken a few steps when he realized that the wind behind him had not followed.
He quickly turned around and walked up to Feng, asking him a question.
"Feng, shall we go in and take a look together?"
...
At this moment, Feng stared blankly at the ice wall in front of him, seemingly lost in thought.
Hearing Han Shuo's voice, he snapped out of his daze, shook his head, and uttered a single sentence.
"You guys go ahead, I'm used to quiet, I'll just stay outside by myself."
"ah?"
Han Shuo was stunned for a moment, and was about to speak to persuade him, but he found that Feng had disappeared from the spot in a few flashes.
Watching Feng's departing figure, he suddenly felt a pang of sadness in his heart...
...
Han Shuo knew why Feng was unwilling to enter this ice city; what happened last time had hurt him too deeply.
The problem was simply because he had eyes like a zombie's...
A person who gave his all, even sacrificing his own life, to save all of humanity, was instead rejected by his fellow human beings. How could he not feel heartbroken?
In fact, Han Shuo had not been able to let go of this matter in his heart for a long time.
Even now, he refuses to see those ugly faces that once drove them away.
However, things are different now...
Since he had promised Qingyu to participate in the war, and since they would be living in this city for a long time, seeing each other all the time, he knew that today, what he had to face would eventually come.
To avoid embarrassing his older brother, he decided not to pursue the matter further today.
