Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot Chapter 1010 402: The Base Blizzard

"It snowed heavily again last night..."

When Ding Yuqin and the others got up, they frowned at the thick snowflakes falling outside the window.

The big operation that was supposed to take place today was jeopardized by another violent snowstorm. Not only was the snow heavy, but the wind was strong as well—everywhere was a vast expanse of white, looking just like the Ice Age...

Even before the apocalypse, such heavy snowfall would have essentially made it impossible to go out, let alone now with all the danger outside. Even if one had a tank or a tracked vehicle, safety couldn't be guaranteed.

The scale of this operation was substantial, and if sothing went wrong, it would be a fatal blow to the entire Changhe Base.

"The operation must be canceled..."

Wang Tao picked up the informational wristwatch by his bed, which had several ssages from Gu Yun, Yao Guodong, Cheng Yiyi, and Qu Shilin.

And their contents were pretty much the sa—today's operations were all canceled.

"As expected."

Wang Tao shook his head.

Truth be told, he was quite interested in this operation.

If they could take advantage of the zombies being frozen to eliminate the horde, it would save them a lot of trouble in future outings; at least they wouldn't be hunted by the horde anymore. Unfortunately, they could do nothing but submit to nature's will.

At dinner yesterday, Yao Guodong pulled all the forces preparing for today's operation into a group chat to facilitate communication during the mission.

Now, the group chat was abuzz with discussion.

Wang Tao skimd through it, and it was mainly expressions of helplessness and complaints.

"Can we really not go out? We have tanks and other military vehicles. Such a level of snow shouldn't stop us, right?" asked soone, unwilling to let go.

Yesterday, they had been so pumped up, looking forward to going out and making a big score, earning so Crystal Cores, and having a good celebration. But then this happened...

"Nonsense, the snow now definitely can't stop a tank. But the problem isn't just the snow; there's also the low temperature, the zombies, and even the terrain... All of these are dangers!" soone explained.

"Exactly, besides these dangers, with the current visibility, you may not even be able to see where the zombies are! Where will you go to kill zombies?"

"And now the wind is so strong that you feel like you could be blown away just stepping out the door. With such strong winds, even if you see the zombies, it probably won't be easy to attack..."

"If you knew, within the high walls we are already facing such a fierce snowstorm, can you imagine how intense it is outside?"

"..."

The others agreed.

There were many willing to go out, but most were rational. Going out now was akin to seeking death.

"Definitely can't go out now, the reasons include..."

Gu Yun showed up to explain a bit.

Once the officials gave their explanation, the number of people discussing whether or not to go out decreased. However, the discussion didn't cease; now the topic was when the snow would stop.

Given the current situation, it seed like the snow would never cease. But yesterday's first snowfall initially looked as fierce as today's and then suddenly stopped... So would today's snow also take a break?

If it could stop for even a few hours, they might have a chance to go out, as a few hours could make a significant difference.

Thus, everyone began speculating when today's snow would end.

But the subsequent situation wasn't quite like what they expected—the blizzard was getting worse!

"Damn, it's not even a matter of whether we can go out anymore..."

Wang Tao placed his hand on the windowpane, feeling its icy touch, and deeply furrowed his brows.

As expected, a notification was issued in the group after a mont—

The plan to hunt zombies outside was completely canceled, not just for now, but even if the snow stopped, they shouldn't go!

It was because the City Hall said there might be low-temperature freezing disasters and snow calamities in the base soon, advising everyone to prepare in advance and be on standby.

Actually, yesterday's snowfall was already a disaster since it had caused traffic disruptions and many vehicles couldn't move... But yesterday's snow stopped, and it wasn't as heavy as today's.

Only so of the roads had been cleared of snow yesterday, the rest was still piled up. If they added today's amount, it wasn't just a matter of the roads being blocked, houses could collapse!

Changhe Base was vast, with all sorts of houses. Wang Tao's villa was made of reinforced concrete, so there were no worries there, but many hos were made of brick, even wood. They might not withstand such heavy snowfall...

And along with the blizzard ca the cold. Ability Users had robust constitutions and were more resistant to the cold, but ordinary people weren't. Since there was no central heating here, if the houses collapsed or leaked air, ordinary people could freeze to death...

So now, it wasn't about hunting zombies; it was potentially about their very survival!

During breakfast, Ding Yuqin and the others also frowned, looking distressed.

"It feels like we're in a bad situation..."

"I have a bad premonition..."

"It's supposed to be a festive day, but now..."

"..."

After drinking so hot porridge, Wang Tao helplessly shook his head.

In the face of such a natural crisis, the strength of an individual was too insignificant. Even he had no solution. All he could hope for was that the people of the base were lucky and that the snow would stop sooner rather than later.
