Apocalypse: I rescued the big boss with millions of supplies

“Those high-level zombies must have had their reasons for bringing these low-level zombies back,” Long Yangyang analyzed. “Don’t you think it’s to protect these low-level zombies?”

After all, the zombies that were frozen were not of a high level, but they did not die even though they were frozen; instead, they were in a state of evolution.

“Take a frozen zombie back with you and let your uncle study it,” Fu Muyu suggested.

Long Yangyang nodded.

The group immediately focused their attention on the nearest zombie. "Lingling, check if any level four or higher zombies are approaching."

"No, Sister Long, after these low-level zombies were brought here, the other zombies left."

The three approached the frozen zombie silently.

"Miaomiao, do it." Long Yangyang patted the rose bracelet on her wrist, and the next second, thick rose vines bound it tightly.

Bathed in moonlight, the frozen zombie looked particularly eerie, like a monster frozen in time.

Long Yangyang quickly used her spatial abilities to cover the zombies, and the group quickly left the scene.

Their footsteps echoed through the empty city, accompanied by low breathing and heartbeats, like a symphony of terror. As their departing figures gradually disappeared into the night, leaving only silence and frozen zombies, the city returned to its deathly stillness.

After returning to the base, the three first handed the captured zombie over to their uncle, Ming Lelu.

The next afternoon, Long Yangyang and the others received a notice from Long Yuanchen to attend a meeting.

"Meeting?"

"Yangyang, the base is paying close attention to the news you brought." Long Yuanchen looked exhausted; he had barely rested since the extreme cold arrived.

If it weren't for my high level of superpowers, I would have been in the hospital long ago.

"Moreover, according to the investigation, the zombie horde in that town is still gathering."

After Long Yangyang and the other two left, they only took one hummingbird detector with them, leaving the rest there for future exploration.

The number of zombies is increasing, and most of them are high-level zombies. The base naturally takes this very seriously.

There are people observing the situation in the zombie town at all times.

Combined with the information obtained from Tu Qingqiu about the zombie siege, the base largely confirmed the news of the zombie attack.

"Therefore, the base is preparing to discuss the defenses in case of a zombie attack."

The atmosphere in the conference room at the Qingdu base was so tense it was suffocating.

On the big screen, hordes of zombies approached like a black tide, baring their fangs and claws in the night, as if they were about to devour the entire town.

"This is the footage captured by the hummingbird detector last night." Longye looked at the footage with a solemn expression.

"Qingdu Film and Television City is not far from our base. It only takes half a day by car."

"As you all have seen, according to the descriptions of those who went to investigate earlier, all the zombies we are seeing are level four or above; there are not a single low-level zombie."

Upon hearing this, the attendees, who were initially shocked by the sheer number of zombies in the small town, couldn't help but gasp in horror.

"Base Commander, are you telling the truth? So many zombies, an entire town, at least 100,000, all of them level four or higher?!"

The number of level four or above ability users in their base combined is less than half that of others.

"Dean Ming, please tell everyone about your research."

Ming Lelu stood up and nodded to everyone.

"These are the zombies our scouts brought back from the zombie town the day before yesterday."

The slideshow showed the zombies that Long Yangyang and her two companions had brought back.

"This is a level three zombie. According to the ability monitoring device, it is a fire-type zombie. As you can see, this zombie has been frozen."

"Once a zombie is frozen solid, people with superpowers cannot sense its energy fluctuations, so even if they encounter it outside, they would probably assume that the zombie has frozen to death."

"Actually, that's not the case. Please take a look at the monitoring results from the superpower monitor."

"This is a report from our research institute, showing the monitoring of zombies' abilities every hour. The results show that the zombies' abilities are improving every hour."

"Everyone, take a look at the superpower analysis we conducted yesterday and early this morning."

Everyone was astonished when they saw the superpower value monitoring report; the superpower value had increased from around 10 to around 20.

"That's right, the level of the level 3 zombie's ability is increasing after being frozen."

"According to the investigators, all the zombies moving around in the town are level four or above, while all the zombies below level three have been frozen and placed in houses."

"Moreover, these high-level zombies are constantly bringing frozen zombies into the town, seemingly protecting these zombies as they advance in rank."

After Ming Lelu finished speaking, he naturally did not ignore the suppressed gazes of everyone present.

Fear, terror, and even cowardice.

"According to our predictions, if the frozen zombies continue to increase their abilities at this rate, a level 1 zombie can advance to level 3 in about 25 days, and a level 2 zombie can advance to level 4 in about 40 days."

It doesn't take a month for a level 3 zombie to advance to level 4, and it can advance to level 5 after two months.

"However, it is uncertain how long these frozen zombies will remain frozen, and we need to continue to observe them. But what is certain is that once these zombies are unfrozen, it will be very detrimental to our situation."

After Ming Lelu finished speaking, he sat down.

“You’ve heard what Dean Ming said, and you’ve read the report in your hands. The current situation is that we not only need to pay attention to the possible zombie horde that is about to arrive, but we also need to pay more attention to these frozen zombies.”

"Everyone, please take a look at our base's defense map."

On the screen, a scaled-down 3D defense map appeared, with the distribution of defensive forces in each area densely drawn in red, like a complex spider web.

Fu Muyu stood in front of the map, his finger gliding across the various regions. His brows were furrowed, and he analyzed the situation in a calm tone: "We must strengthen the defenses on the eastern front as soon as possible, as that is where the zombies are most likely to break through."

His eyes were firm and his tone was unquestionable.

"That's true, but with the arrival of extreme cold, many people have died at the base, and now that it's freezing cold, fewer people are joining the base," Han Xijun said.

"There are still some low-level superhumans in the city defense forces receiving treatment in the hospital, and some superhuman groups have taken on missions outside the base, so it's questionable whether they can return on time."

The situation at the Qingdu base is not optimistic.

“That’s right, everyone is aware of the situation at the base.” Long Ye suddenly stood up, his eyes blazing, and slammed his fist on the table. “Listen carefully, this is a moment of life or death! We must go all out and absolutely cannot let these monsters destroy our base!”

His voice echoed in the conference room with unquestionable majesty.
