Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies

Chapter 427: Catastrophe in Tianhai City

Just as Zhang Yi suspected, the zombie crisis was not an isolated incident targeting them alone. It had erupted across all of Tianhai City on a massive scale!

Yangsheng Base, Chaoyu Base, and Qingfu Base all came under attack by swarms of zombies that seemed to materialize out of nowhere.

The soldiers, untrained for such a phenomenon, initially assumed they could neutralize the zombies by destroying their heads.

But to their horror, even headshots failed. The zombies continued their onslaught, tearing off heads with their razor-sharp claws.

These zombies were far from the sluggish creatures seen in TV shows. Their speed and strength far exceeded those of ordinary humans.

The horde surged relentlessly, overwhelming the first line of human defense with sheer numbers. The soldiers struggled to mount any resistance, and the line was soon breached!

Their numbers were overwhelming, and their resilience was terrifying.

The three bases suffered heavy losses, with numerous lives claimed by these horrifying creatures.

However, the bases were equipped with powerful weaponry. After the initial chaos, the leaders and Superhuman Captains of each base organized a fierce counterattack.

At Yangsheng Base, Xiao Honglian quickly identified the zombies’ weakness—fire.

She climbed a tall distillation tower, wielding a high-purity alcohol sprayer to unleash streams of flame upon the horde.

Like an inferno engulfing insects, the fire swiftly turned the zombies to ash.

Yet, the scale of the horde was daunting.

Compared to the few thousand zombies that Zhang Yi’s Shelter faced, the bases located in core areas faced far greater hordes.

With her sword-like brows furrowed, Xiao Honglian pushed her [Purgatory Furnace] ability to its limits.

A man carrying a heavy metal box approached her.

The box contained high-purity alcohol. Xiao Honglian consumed it, unleashing fiery blasts like a dragon, scorching trenches into the ground and decimating the zombies.

After an arduous battle, and with countless zombies slain, the wave of attackers was finally repelled.

“What the hell are these things? They’re far beyond ordinary zombies. Investigate their origins immediately! Is someone controlling them?”

Xiao Honglian was furious as she surveyed the carnage. Her painstakingly built refinery lay in ruins, strewn with corpses.

Meanwhile, at Qingfu Base, Xing Tian unleashed his abilities and led 500 elite warriors in a direct charge against the zombie horde.

With Xing Tian’s empowerment, his warriors became formidable, combining offense and defense seamlessly.

Abandoning firearms, they relied on massive battle axes, war hammers, and iron rods to engage in brutal close combat with the zombies.

This method proved far more effective than firearms, as even the frozen corpses were shattered by the brute force of their attacks.

At Chaoyu Base, the situation escalated to the point where the main naval guns of ships stationed in the Deep Sea District were deployed against the horde.

While the zombie attacks were ferocious, they alone couldn’t inflict catastrophic damage on the major factions.

The bases’ superior firepower and abundance of powerful Superhumans helped contain the threat.

“Where did these things come from? Could they be a product of another faction in Tianhai City? Or is there an underground force we’ve overlooked?” Wei Dinghai speculated with a furrowed brow.

Zhang Yi and the three bases managed to resolve the crisis relatively effectively, suffering losses that, while significant, were within tolerable limits.

The Followers of the Snow God, however, were not so fortunate.

Having rapidly expanded their ranks over the past month, their population swelled to over 10,000 in the core area of Tianfeng District.

More than 70% of them lacked combat capabilities, and many were even unarmed.

This massive, vulnerable crowd attracted an underground horde of zombies.

That night, the followers finished their prayers and retired to their tents.

To keep warm, they huddled in a few enclosed buildings, lit fires, and shared canned food and red sacred fruits plucked from the Holy Tree.

Among them were residents from Yuelu Residential Area, who had joined the cult alongside Li Jian.

Li Jian’s son, Li Kaile, was particularly happy at the camp.

He quickly befriended Xu Beibei, a girl of the same age from a nearby tent.

Even in the apocalypse, human emotions remained powerful.

The two teenagers, drawn to each other at first sight, quickly grew close.

Living nearby and having little to do beyond prayers, they spent their days together.

Li Kaile shared his treasured books, while Xu Beibei showed him an oil painting she had found.

In the innocence of youth, their feelings were pure and untainted.

Li Kaile secretly vowed to marry Xu Beibei once the apocalypse was over and to stay by her side for life.

But in the darkness, pairs of eerie green eyes had already fixed on their camp.

The night watch spotted shadows moving on the outskirts.

With visibility too poor to discern details, the watch mistook the zombies for survivors seeking refuge.

“Where are you coming from? Do you need help?” one watchman called out.

As they approached, the truth became horrifyingly clear.

The creatures had purplish-blue skin, vacant eyes, and ghastly wounds that marked them unmistakably as undead.

“A-a-a… monsters!” the watchman screamed in terror.

That was the moment the zombies attacked.

Drawn to the firelight, they swarmed like moths to flames.

But this time, they weren’t self-destructing—they were bringing death to the unsuspecting survivors.

Gunfire erupted as the watchmen tried to fight back.

However, the zombies were undeterred, pressing on even as bullets riddled their bodies.

Screams of despair echoed through the camp as the undead began their slaughter.

The Followers of the Snow God’s camp turned into a nightmare, with hundreds of members falling victim to the horde.

The guards, realizing the nature of their attackers, aimed for the zombies’ heads.

Yet their efforts were futile, and the noise only attracted more of the undead, who tore them apart.

Desperate cries for help spread through the camp.

The guards were swiftly overwhelmed, leaving the unarmed followers defenseless.

The ravenous zombies charged in like starving bandits descending on a buffet.

In that moment, it was as if the dinner bell had rung.
