Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies-Chapter 479: The Plan to Annihilate the Zombie Horde

Chapter 479: The Plan to Annihilate the Zombie Horde

After finishing his explanation, Bian Junwu lifted a black body bag from the ground and placed it in the center of the cathedral.

Unzipping it, he revealed the corpse of a humanoid creature covered in white fur.

“This is it,” Bian Junwu announced, pointing at the corpse.

Everyone stood up and crowded around the so-called Zombie King.

Upon seeing its appearance, most of them were underwhelmed.

They had expected the Zombie King to be a more terrifying or mysterious entity. Instead, it looked like nothing more than an ordinary corpse with fur—reminiscent of an old tale about corpses in tombs transforming into furry monsters.

Zhang Yi asked, “Is this thing really that dangerous?”

Bian Junwu replied, “The Zombie King can control hordes of zombies. Its intelligence is comparable to a human’s, but its combat strength is relatively weak.”

Hearing this, Zhang Yi nodded in relief. As long as it wasn’t overwhelmingly powerful, it would be manageable.

He had previously assumed that the Zombie King’s combat strength far surpassed that of the Bronze Armored Zombies. If that had been the case, eliminating it would have been a monumental challenge.

“It sounds a bit like a hive mind,” Zhang Yi remarked. “An intelligent queen that births more zombies but lacks significant combat ability.”

Xing Tian shot him a glance. “What, you wish it were stronger? If it were any tougher, we’d all be dead already!”

It was a fair point. The Zombie King’s glaring weakness was a saving grace.

Had it been a formidable fighter on top of commanding hordes of zombies, rats, and Bronze Armored Zombies, the factions in Tianhai City wouldn’t have stood a chance.

Knowing the Zombie King’s vulnerabilities eased some of the fear.

However, Zhang Yi remained cautious. If this was just one Zombie King, there were likely others in Tianhai City.

Moreover, the origin of the Zombie Kings was a mystery. Without clarity on this, the crisis couldn’t truly be resolved.

Bian Junwu explained their method for killing the Zombie King:

“The zombie hordes attack daily, but the Zombie King itself is fragile and remains hidden deep in the subway tunnels.

“To eliminate it, we need to use bait to lure the zombie army to the surface while an elite team infiltrates the tunnels to kill the Zombie King.”

“Without the Zombie King’s control, the hordes lose cohesion and become far easier to deal with, no matter their numbers.”

Hearing this, Zheng Yixian suddenly realized the plan.

“So you’re saying you want to use the entire Bai Xue Jiao congregation as bait? Draw the zombies here and then go underground to kill the Zombie King?” Řã𐌽𝔬₿Ês

His eyes flashed with anger, and even Yuan Kongye’s gaze flickered with subtle emotion.

Wei Dinghai chuckled.

“Don’t get so worked up. Out of all the factions in Tianhai City, your Bai Xue Jiao has the largest population. It’s only logical to choose your territory as the battlefield.”

Bian Junwu remained expressionless as he answered Zheng Yixian’s accusation.

“While it may sound cold, we did factor that into our decision. Additionally, your faction lacks the advanced defenses that others have.”

“But don’t worry too much. All the factions have brought their armed forces here, maximizing your congregation’s safety.”

Zheng Yixian gritted his teeth. “But you’re gathering all the zombies in Tianhai City here. What will happen to our people then?”

Bian Junwu adjusted his sunglasses and replied coolly, “If that happens, it’ll be ideal. We all hope to end Tianhai City’s zombie problem in one decisive battle.”

Zheng Yixian’s voice rose with indignation. “And what about the lives of the Bai Xue Jiao followers? Are they just fodder to you?”

Xiao Honglian interjected with a smirk.

“Zheng Yixian, be realistic. If Jiangnan District’s team doesn’t take this approach, your Bai Xue Jiao will vanish from the map eventually anyway.”

Spreading her hands, she added, “Unlike you, we have the option of retreating into our shelters.

“With our military-grade equipment, no number of zombies could breach our defenses. But your people? How long can you last with those flimsy fortifications?”

Her tone was laced with mockery, but her words were undeniable.

Everyone understood the brutal truth: if any faction were to fall first, it would be the Bai Xue Jiao.

Zheng Yixian’s face turned ashen.

“This still doesn’t justify using our people as bait!”

Bian Junwu finally spoke again, his voice cold and resolute.

“Why shouldn’t the Bai Xue Jiao serve as bait?”

The question stunned Zheng Yixian and Yuan Kongye.

They couldn’t believe such a statement was made so directly.

Bian Junwu stared at them with icy determination.

“We came all the way from Jinling to help you face this crisis.

“Right now, all seven of us are here. The full armed forces of other factions are also here!”

“If you claim your people are bait, what does that make us? Are we not also bait in this battle?”

“Have I ever suggested that you face this crisis alone?”

His powerful declaration left Zheng Yixian speechless.

Bian Junwu was right. The Jiangnan District team bore no grudge against the Bai Xue Jiao.

Their journey here wasn’t to stir trouble but to help Tianhai City’s factions resolve the zombie crisis.

Despite understanding this logic, Zheng Yixian’s face still reflected frustration.

Zhang Yi then spoke calmly.

“You need to understand that we combatants will be on the front lines.

“If anyone dies first, it’ll be us.”

Pointing to the faction leaders, he added, “All these factions have brought their armed forces here to protect your congregation. What more could you ask for?”

Of course, Zhang Yi was merely being diplomatic. In reality, if things went south, his smaller group could retreat without hesitation, while larger forces might hesitate to abandon their positions.

Zheng Yixian’s expression wavered with struggle. He seemed to realize they had no grounds to refuse.

The fact that Bian Junwu was even explaining the plan to him was a courtesy.

Finally, he let out a reluctant sigh.

“Fine. I understand. But Mr. Bian, you must provide us with a detailed and convincing battle plan!”
