Chapter 304 - 177: The Second Expedition
As the winter countdown commenced, Dawn launched the end-of-season activity: the second expedition to Waste City.
After the first expedition concluded, scientists, politicians, and the Fungus Side convened a meeting at the island headquarters, where scientists proposed the idea to excavate green devices. The massive population of zombies in Waste City was the first issue they needed to face. Since humanity did not have much time left, a General suggested a direct nuclear strike to clear out the zombies from Waste City.
Although this would contaminate Waste City, humanity could not afford to worry about that now, and it was imperative to excavate the green devices as quickly as possible to develop a long-term, reliable vaccine.
Days later, the fleet launched several tactical nuclear missiles, reducing the zombie population in Waste City by 80%. The Marine Corps landed first and used the remaining structures to establish two supply points in the city, where various large excavation machinery and personnel were deployed. Scientists set up laboratories at the supply points.
Everything was ready except for favorable conditions. Humanity was about to commence the excavation of green devices No. 1 and No. 2, and the brave players would enter Waste City to protect the supply points, the scientists, and the excavation efforts.
The expedition lasted seven days, divided into ten instances based on the city, which meant all players from Future City were in the same instance and could form teams freely. Death penalty: A deduction of certain points, all attributes reset to zero, all equipment reset to zero, skills retained. No sieges will occur at the base during the event, and the system will provide complete protection for the bases.
After the system announcement, Shadow Base called an expanded meeting right away, and everyone’s first question was, "A hundred thousand people in one instance?" Waste City was considered a medium-sized city, and it was estimated that there were about two million residents during the early stages of the zombie virus outbreak. If 80% of the zombies in Waste City were cleared by nuclear strikes, why would a hundred thousand people be needed? Divided between two excavation points, that’s 50,000 people per point—with one bullet per person, that’s 50,000 rounds of ammunition.
Maya analyzed, "Due to the nuclear contamination, some terrifying creatures have appeared in Waste City, possibly mutant zombies. Or maybe even various monsters."
"A biohazard?" Biohazard is a famous movie series and also one of the founders of the zombie game genre. Before immigration, many people watched the films and played the games.
