God-Level Shelter : Start with 1000000 Tons of Supplies

A1 Shelter's first major external sweep operation! It lasted for five days, and the grand scale of the movement startled the entire City.

Over the five days, the mercenary army suffered over 500 casualties, expended more than 3 million rounds of ammunition, and paid an astonishing price.

However, the gains were also quite good! At least through this trial of blood and fire, the mercenary army rapidly matured!

Secondly, the five-day sweeping operation directly cleared over 90% of the zombies within a five-kilometer radius of the base, shooting down more than 300,000 zombies.

It is believed that for a period in the future, the area around the base will become much safer! At the same time, Ji Yan also harvested hundreds of thousands of crystals and hundreds of thousands of individual evolution energy, as well as massive amounts of supplies, greatly increasing the base's strategic reserves and significantly boosting his own prestige.

This battle showcased the base's momentum and allowed all survivors in Dongjiang City to see Ji Yan's true strength.

"Everyone, the overall strategic objective of this external sweep operation has been initially achieved. All departments should rest and reorganize as quickly as possible, striving to return to their usual training in the shortest amount of time."

"Although this operation only lasted five days, we shot down over 300,000 zombies, greatly alleviating the survival pressure on the City's survivors. You all did a great job!"

"However, this operation also exposed many problems. After returning, everyone should hold summary meetings in their respective companies, regiments, and platoons, engage in self-criticism, self-improvement, identify our shortcomings, and quickly grow into an iron-blooded force!"

Inside the base's command center,

Ji Yan presided over the post-battle meeting!

He also praised and rewarded those who performed well.

"That's all I wanted to say. Does anyone else have any questions?" Ji Yan scanned the room and said, "If you have any questions, you can speak up now!"

"I have a question!" Li Tiezhu frowned and said, "During the five-day operation, we encountered three Lickers in total. Besides the first one that was instantly killed by the boss, the other two caused us considerable casualties."

"The main reason why we still suffered over 500 casualties, despite our steady progress, ample ammunition, and fierce firepower, was actually because of those last two Lickers."

"I want to know where they came from? How should we deal with them? And will future zombies become even more powerful?"

The questions raised by Li Tiezhu made everyone frown.

The Lickers encountered this time not only caused heavy losses to the mercenary army.

Even the Guard Team lost more than twenty soldiers before they barely managed to kill them.

Although the Guard Team's android soldiers can be recruited and replenished after being killed in action, it is still a loss for the base and must be guarded against.

"Professor Song will explain this situation to everyone!" Ji Yan waved his hand, signaling.

Song Zhiwen, sitting in the corner, silently nodded to everyone.

Everyone was slightly surprised, realizing only then that he was in the meeting room.

"Everyone, I believe some of you may not know me!" Song Zhiwen began, saying, "Allow me to introduce myself. My surname is Song. I was formerly the Vice Dean of the Dongjiang City Academy of Sciences, and now I am the head of the base's research institute."

"Recently, our researchers have been tracking and studying the changes in zombies and the environment. With the detection of various instruments and the assistance of the newly deployed monitoring system, we have made significant discoveries."

"Regarding Commander Li's question, I can clearly answer that zombies will become more powerful; they are continuously evolving."

"According to our detection, the activity of the zombie virus is becoming stronger, almost doubling compared to a month ago, and their strength has also doubled. Moreover, many more powerful types have emerged—Lickers."

"Hiss!"

Everyone gasped in unison upon hearing this.

No one expected the zombies to evolve so quickly.

No wonder recent zombies have been increasingly difficult to kill; these guys can actually evolve!

"And that's not the worst part!" Song Zhiwen continued, "It has been over a month since the Zombie Storm passed, and more than forty days since the meteorite disaster. Our monitoring shows that the air quality outside has dropped by 112, and the temperature has risen by about 0.6 degrees compared to the same period."

"Hmm?"

Everyone looked bewildered!

What does that mean? What does that have to do with zombies?

Everyone knew that the Guard Team had been installing cameras everywhere recently.

But that didn't seem to have anything to do with what they were discussing, did it?

Li Tiezhu even said discontentedly, "Professor Song, please speak plainly. We common folk don't understand!"

"To put it simply!" Song Zhiwen said seriously, "What does rising temperatures bring? The world's glaciers will melt, and within the next one to two years, global sea levels will rise by about 70 meters, meaning many, many cities will be submerged by seawater!"

"At the same time, these slowly rising sea levels will also force survivors and zombies from coastal areas to continuously move inland, meaning the number of zombies in Dongjiang City will increase, and the situation will become more chaotic!"

"Holy crap!"

Everyone exclaimed, clearly having understood!

"In other words!" Li Tiezhu said in shock, "Rising temperatures will cause land to be submerged, and then countless zombies will continuously surge towards us, and these zombies are constantly getting stronger, right?"

"Yes!"

Song Zhiwen nodded, and everyone's scalps tingled again!

Damn, this is not good news!

This almost means that the situation will continuously worsen.

"Moreover, from the artificial intelligence monitoring, we deduce!" Song Zhiwen continued, "The three Lickers that appeared earlier all came from the City Center. It is highly likely that a Zombie Mother Nest has appeared somewhere within the City Center!"

"What is a Zombie Mother Nest?" Many people asked in surprise.

"This is a concept proposed by Mr. Ji!" Song Zhiwen explained, "He said it's likely there's something similar to a beehive that is continuously producing powerful zombies."

"Holy crap, how can this be? If a large wave of Lickers appears, we're doomed!"

"Do we need to quickly encircle and suppress the Zombie Mother Nest? Where is it exactly?"

"The zombie density in the City Center is too high. It's simply unrealistic for us to try to clear it with our current strength!"

"That's right, once we go there, we'll be surrounded by zombies from all directions in minutes, and their numbers will definitely be in the millions. We can't handle that!"

Everyone's expressions became anxious!
