Chapter 43: The Best Time

ause of his status, he was unable to meet the Queen. But thinking about an elderly woman nearing fifty, plagued by ailments, he lost interest and increasingly focused his attention on the Third Princ...Zhou Mei's pupils shrank upon hearing this, the smile on her face fading several degrees. She immediately asked:

"Is this news accurate"

Of course, it was the falcon's instinct.

There's no need to hide this; otherwise, the Kyoto base wouldn't have sought help during its operation.

"Okay, thank you for letting me know in advance."

Zhou Mei's face also grew serious.

"We're here today specifically to tell you about a suggestion, and we wonder if you'd be willing to hear it."

This time, the speaker changed to Wu Lianyi.

"Of course, Miss Ziying, please speak."

Zhou Mei immediately said that they valued the advice of this person very much.

"Extreme cold weather is a test for survivors, and it also gives zombies an opportunity to upgrade, just like our ability users upgrade. During the upgrade process, we are the most vulnerable, so this year is the best chance for survivors to eliminate zombies."

Sang Sheng even raised a level five zombie for the sake of the core. Although it was artificially promoted, it also proved that zombies with superpowers exist.

Not all bases have the strength of a capital base, capable of grinding down level five zombies. To prevent this from happening, the best time to eliminate zombies is during this year's extreme cold period.

Zhou Mei nodded in agreement with Wu Lianyi's words, after all, when it came to the development of the base, it was best to nip any foreseeable danger in the bud.

We will take Black Hawk Squadron's proposal seriously. I'm going to see the General now.

Zhou Mei is also a doer, she immediately got up to see her father and happened to meet her elder brother who came to look for her.

"Sister, I heard Captain America came."

"Yes, I have a message. I'm going to report to the general."

Then I'll go with you.

Zhou Feng immediately spoke, then nodded to Yingyi and Wu Lianyi before leaving the two in the guest hall. They left hurriedly.

"Purple Hawk, traveling in this extreme cold will be difficult. Before it gets even colder, we should return to the W City base as soon as possible."

Eagle Wing is most worried about this.

"Well, extreme cold has both advantages and disadvantages. At least we won't have to worry about being chased by zombies, and we can harvest nuclear cores. These are all resources."

As for extremely cold weather, we are superhuman, our physiques are much stronger. As long as we do a good job of keeping warm, we should be able to make it through. Besides, it's best to return in a straight line.

After thinking for a moment, Wu Lianyi spoke.

"Well, I've already arranged for people to collect coal, firewood, and gas cylinders, as well as warm clothing and accessories to ensure we can return safely."

Before leaving the residence, Yingyi had already arranged for people to handle these matters. All that remained was the crystal core defense shield.

"We're here today to tell them winter is coming, and also to gently remind them about the shield. Once we have it, we can leave."

Wu Lianyi spoke in a low voice.

Half an hour later, the Zhou siblings returned together, followed by two guards. The guards carried a large metal box and placed it in front of Wu Lianyi and Yingyi.

"Eaglewing Captain, this is the upgraded crystal core shield. It can be used for base defense, and there are also two smaller defense shields. They should be delivered to you tomorrow."

Zhou Feng spoke directly.

Thank you so much!

"You're welcome, the information you brought is important. There's a psychic in the army who also predicted the impending extreme cold weather. We decided to take this opportunity to clean up all the zombies around the Kyoto base."

At the same time, we will use satellites to inform all surviving bases across the country of this news. Ideally, all bases can act together.

To incentivize this large-scale extermination operation, we are prepared to release the technology for the Core Gun. With the Core Gun, ordinary survivors can kill sleeping zombies and obtain cores in one fell swoop.

Of course, the origin of the core gun and the specific researchers who developed it would be credited to the W City Survivor Base. What do you think

Zhou Mei's explanation was more detailed.

"This is a good thing, we naturally support it!"

The eagle nodded immediately.

After the serious matters were discussed, Wu Lianyi waved her hand to collect the box filled with crystal core defense shields on the ground and returned to her residence with Yingyi.

Now that they have accurate information, they are going back to tell their brothers, to get ready, to return to the W city base.

For about a month, the days were scorching hot with temperatures of thirty-five degrees Celsius during the day and plummeting to minus thirty-five degrees at night. On the thirty-first night, around midnight, snow began to fall from the sky. It intensified rapidly, blanketing everything in white within just one night.

And from that day on, the daytime temperatures didn't rise again, dropping to minus thirty-five degrees, while nighttime temperatures plummeted to near minus forty-five. It was truly freezing rain; even those with abilities wouldn't dare venture out at night.

Meanwhile, the Black Hawk team had already left the perimeter of the Kyoto base and set off on their return journey to the W city base.

At this time, the squad members were hiding in a villa. Although there was nothing inside, fortunately, the doors and windows were intact. They found this shelter before sunset, quickly closed the doors and windows, started a fire for warmth, and began preparing dinner.

"Ugh, it's getting colder by the day."

Sun Wang muttered.

"The frigid weather has set in, haven't you noticed that the zombies are moving slower The lower levels have completely frozen solid."

The earth eagle on the side then spoke.

"Indeed, the cores I've collected these days are several times better than before."

Sun Wangmei said happily.

“If the temperature drops any further, the zombies will lose their ability to move completely. Then we can go to the city center where they've fallen, and get some nuclei from the mutated zombies.”

The Earth Eagle is very idealistic and has already started planning to collect the crystal cores of zombies with superpowers.

"There's no rush for this, we should just wait for my sister and Lianyi to make the arrangements."

Sun Wang immediately said that going to the city center was very risky and they definitely needed to be fully prepared.

That's definitely true.

As the scent of a spicy hot soup wafted over, the two immediately stopped their conversation and started moving towards the pot in the middle.

As soon as everyone took a spoonful of the hot and spicy soup, they immediately felt a warmth spreading through their bodies. Paired with the freshly baked bread, their blood seemed to flow more freely, leaving them all sighing in contentment.

In order to return to W city as soon as possible, they mostly traveled along straight lines, which meant they had to pass through some occupied cities. As a result, they spent most of the month resting during the day and traveling at night, in addition to killing zombies to obtain crystal nuclei.

If they were to face zombies head-on during the day, they would be at a disadvantage. They could only wait until sunset when the temperature dropped sharply and the zombies lost their ability to move. That was when they would harvest the crystal cores.

They waited until the daytime temperature stopped rising before readjusting their schedule to travel during the day, hunt zombies at night, and rest during the day. So far, their journey has been relatively smooth, and they have covered about one-third of the distance.

The next stop is a big city, City C. They plan to go deep into the city center to find some supplies and see if they can hunt down some more mutant zombies. In general, in these big cities, the probability of mutant zombies appearing is higher.ssins.Any discerning person could see that the second imperial princess benefited from this situation, after all, the first imperial princess was also at Zhuoxiu Garden at that time.To clear her name,...
