Now, Zhang Mu was even more eager for the thousands of beast cores that were about to be in his hands, but he couldn't just run over and ask others for them directly. They would naturally be sent to him after they were counted.

The obsidian worm transformed into a smiling shape to save energy, and entered the tent with Zhang Mu to wait.

After a while, there was some noise outside the tent. Probably because the soldiers had all returned and now that they had completed their mission, everyone seemed to be more relaxed. Zhang Mu got a few key points from the conversations of the soldiers passing by.

Just as Long Er and Zhang Mu had expected, the zombie swarm attacked the mutant beast swarm. Without the control of the king, the zombie swarm was indeed no match for the mutant beast swarm. However, the most crucial point was that the mutant beasts were not unified and harmonious internally. The soldiers discovered that the beast tribe with the most deaths and the most serious mutant beast scars on their bodies was the red fox tribe. They were all flaming red, which was very shocking, and all of them were broken corpses.

But it was different between zombies. They would at most regard their own kind as obstacles, and would not attack their own kind unless it was necessary. In this case, most of the mutant beasts were killed or injured, and the rest left their bodies on the ground and fled Jinzhong City separately.

The six-digit zombie swarm was also severely damaged by the counterattack of the mutant beasts. These first-level zombies have no intelligence yet. The tracking experts at the scene analyzed that when the mutant beasts fled from the nearby mountains and forests, a large number of zombies followed them out in order to eat fresh flesh and kill the murderers who attacked them before.

Therefore, when the army of nearly 10,000 people arrived at Jinzhong City, the battle had just ended. There was not a single mutant beast left in Jinzhong City, only about 10,000 first-level zombies.

These zombies were still eating frantically and had no time to pay attention to the evolvers who had arrived.

One is mindless and exists only for eating, while the other is organized and disciplined.

One is severely injured, with only one tenth of his men left, while the other is fully armed and in high spirits.

One is scattered and attacks alone, the other is advancing in a group with clear division of labor.

Both sides had a number of 10,000, and the zombies lost their biggest advantage. They were crushed all the way by the team of evolvers, and the battle was resolved effortlessly.

Humans also need meat, and they must snatch food from the zombies' mouths. The commander directly gave the order to attack, and snatched the food from the zombies' mouths when they finished eating the mutant beasts' corpses.

Everyone was discussing the specific meat that was harvested. There were probably nearly a thousand intact heads, and the remaining thousand or so had been eaten until only half was left.

So the time decided by Long Er was just right. If it was one day later, maybe only skeletons would be seen. As for the animal cores, although they are not very useful to zombies, they are not picky eaters, so it would be a big loss.

A thousand intact mutant beast corpses and half of the meat of more than a thousand of them, what does that mean?

Almost 1,500 tons of meat!

If each evolver consumes about ten kilograms of meat a day, then this amount of meat is enough for them to eat and drink for nearly a year. The most important thing is that eating the meat of mutant beasts helps to increase physical strength, which is commonly known as increasing strength.

Of course, the annual rations for ten thousand people were nothing compared to the beast cores. However, Zhang Mu didn't know how many beast cores he could get. When he heard the amount of meat the little soldier outside the tent said, he roughly understood that the number of beast cores he could get should be between one thousand and two thousand, and it was very likely to be two thousand.

Because zombies are actually picky eaters. The belly of mutant beasts is the softest, and they like to eat internal organs the most. If there is enough food, they generally won't touch the head, which is the part that stores the beast core, because they themselves don't have a great demand for beast core energy.

Zhang Mu felt that the remaining half of the corpse should be the part with the head. Humans actually don't like to eat this part very much, but in special times, people who have experienced hunger will not complain about it being unpalatable.

No one dares not to cherish food anymore. They know clearly that food is life.

As for the problem of frozen storage of meat, that would be a headache for Long Qi and the others. They were not Epoch Merchants and did not have Epoch Merchant Rings. Moreover, they would need a city's special storage ring to have enough space. The only ones who might have it were the first-ranked Epoch Merchants in the major cities.

If he is lucky and there is an ice storage in Shanxi City, then the problem can be easily solved. If not, then the goods will just go to waste and rot. Zhang Mu can do nothing about it. His storage ring can only be used for the corresponding city's era goods. No. 29 in Shanxi City is not so kind to give it to him. After all, Zhang Mu did not bring him much profit this time, and he does not have Yuanjing to trade in era universal goods. Why should he give it to him?

Just as Zhang Mu was thinking about how Long Qi should deal with this batch of meat, there was a sound of military boots trotting on the ground outside the tent, and then a voice came in, "Mr. Zhang, the leader wants to see you."

The voice sounded familiar. Zhang Mu saw that Yuan Rui was still resting with her eyes closed, so he opened the curtain and walked out. The person standing at the door was indeed Long Qi's guard from last time.

"Mr. Zhang, the leader said that the beast cores are almost counted. Please go over and inspect them." The guard said respectfully to Zhang Mu. It was all thanks to Zhang Mu that they could get so much meat now. If he hadn't helped Long Qi deal with the two kings, the situation would not have developed into one that is so beneficial to mankind.

"Let's go!" Zhang Mu said and walked forward.

The guard quickly stopped Zhang Mu and said, "Sir, we are not going to the main tent. The leader is in the ice storage now."

"Icehouse?"

"Yes, follow me and I'll take you there." The guard turned and walked quickly in one direction.

I didn't expect that Shanxi City actually has an ice storage. Now Long Qi won't have to worry about the meat rotting. It's also a great thing for the humans in this gathering place.

However, Zhang Mu still had some doubts in his mind, because normal large electrical appliances could no longer be used after the evolutionary ripple sweep of the end times. Now this ice storage can still operate. Is it because it has not reached that standard or for some other reason?

Although he had doubts, Zhang Mu still followed the guard's steps. The meat issue had nothing to do with him. He just wanted to get the agreed beast core.

It was an underground building. When Zhang Mu went in, he felt the chill rising slowly. It seemed to be an ice storage.

Long Qi had already been waiting for Zhang Mu in front of a big door. He patted Zhang Mu on the shoulder and said, "The beast cores we agreed on are now at the end of their inventory. Come in with me to take a look. But I'm curious about how you're going to take them away."

As he spoke, Long Qi opened the door for Zhang Mu and led the way into the ice storage. His guards quickly ran out at Long Qi's signal, and they looked frozen.

It was fine just now because of the door blocking the way, but now that he had stepped inside, Zhang Mu could feel a chill creeping up his body.

Is this freezing effect so powerful?

Zhang Mu also asked the question hidden in his heart, "After the apocalypse, aren't many large electrical appliances unusable? What kind of refrigeration system does your ice storage have that is so powerful and can operate so efficiently?"

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Long Qi laughed and said, "You are too naive. Even before the end of the world, there was no such a good refrigeration system. You can feel the cold, right? What can you think can make us second-level evolvers feel cold?"

"You mean?" Long Qiyi emphasized the matter of the second level, and Zhang Mu suddenly understood a little.

"Yes, it's just as you guessed."

Long Qi shook his finger, pointing to a closed but transparent small box, and said with some pride, "We use these ice-type evolvers to provide cooling. Otherwise, the food in the gathering place is not abundant, and if it rots, how can we feed so many people?"

There were many small boxes like this. Originally, Long Qi just pointed randomly, but Zhang Mu looked in the direction of his finger and saw a familiar figure.

After seeing the figure's face clearly, Zhang Mu's heart was instantly filled with a thousand horses running through it, and he started cursing.

"You actually used her to cool the ice storage! She's the Ice Queen!"
