Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies

Liang Yue stopped arguing.

She knew Zhang Yi made a valid point.

After all, given their abilities, just protecting their group was already a significant challenge. Considering the plight of others was not Zhang Yi’s style.

The group finished sealing off all the exits of the subway tunnel. Then Zhang Yi approached the entrance of the Ci Qu Station. He opened the Dimensional Gate, releasing a massive volume of seawater that poured down the subway entrance.

”Whoosh!”

A torrent of water rushed forth, flooding the narrow tunnel and surging forward like a furious tide.

At this rate, it would take only three hours to release enough water to submerge the entire tunnel. The rats inside might sense the danger and flee early, but most would drown or freeze to death in the icy water.

As for the dormant zombies inside, they wouldn’t awaken unless they encountered living humans or received direct orders from the Zombie King. Zhang Yi’s goal was simply to eliminate most of the zombies and rats. Even if a few managed to escape, as long as their numbers were small, they wouldn’t pose a threat.

”Whoosh!”

”Rumble!”

The floodwaters surged violently through the subway tunnel, growing stronger by the second, like a swollen river in flood season. The torrent drowned rats hiding in the crevices and flooded the muddy depths where zombies lay dormant.

”Squeak! Squeak!”

Terrified squeals erupted as the giant rats scrambled to escape the rising waters. But no matter how fast they ran, they couldn’t outrun the flood. Soon, most were submerged.

A handful of rats that escaped in time climbed out through the tunnel entrance. However, without their habitat, these rats wouldn’t survive in the sub-zero temperatures of minus fifty or sixty degrees. They would have to find a new environment, but in this apocalyptic world, such a place was nearly impossible to find.

The rats and zombies shared a symbiotic relationship. The rats provided additional combat power to the zombie hordes, with the Zombie King deliberately raising them. Their food source, however, was the corpses of other zombies. Without these corpses, the rats couldn’t grow to their enormous size.

Once forced out of the subway tunnels, they would quickly lose their means of survival and perish. Even if a few survived, their numbers would dwindle, making it impossible to reproduce on a large scale. In the short term, they wouldn’t be a threat to Zhang Yi’s shelter anymore.

Meanwhile, deeper inside the subway, some zombies began to stir, seemingly guided by an unseen force. However, even with their superior physical abilities, they couldn’t maintain their footing in the rushing waters. They toppled like broken logs and were swept away.

The floodwaters rose steadily, submerging the entire tunnel. Zhang Yi then opened several large white barrels filled with a transparent liquid—freezing agents crafted by Lu Keran.

When the agents were poured into the purified seawater, the liquid began freezing at a visible rate. Ice spread rapidly through the depths of the water, quickly encasing the struggling zombies and rats.

Half a day passed in the blink of an eye. The entire Ci Qu Line was now frozen solid. Zhang Yi dusted off his hands.

”That settles our problem.”

Whether some zombies or rats had escaped or even if the Zombie King was still alive, it didn’t matter. Even the survival of the armored zombies wasn’t a concern. Ŕά𝐍ỐᛒЁṠ

The zombies and rats only posed a threat because of their overwhelming numbers. Individually, even the armored zombies weren’t enough to intimidate Zhang Yi.

By eliminating most of the zombies and rats, even if the survivors were elite, Zhang Yi and his team could easily handle them.

”We should be able to enjoy some peace for a while. Let other factions worry about the zombie hordes and rat swarms!” Zhang Yi said with a smile.

Uncle You, Liang Yue, and Fatty Xu exchanged glances, a light smile spreading across their faces.

Once again, Zhang Yi had resolved a massive problem with startling simplicity, leaving them amazed.

”Spatial energy really is terrifyingly powerful!” Fatty Xu commented. ”The internet wasn’t lying. Among superhuman abilities, time reigns supreme, space dominates, destiny never emerges, and causality rules as king!”

”Our boss wields spatial energy. There’s no one in Tianhai City who can rival him!”

Hearing this, Zhang Yi couldn’t help but ask, ”Where did you even learn all this stuff?”

Fatty Xu chuckled and scratched his head. ”Internet wisdom, of course!”

Zhang Yi lowered his eyes. This wasn’t the first time he’d heard such remarks from Fatty Xu.

In truth, Zhang Yi himself had similar thoughts. While his spatial abilities often played a supporting role in battle, their versatility and power were extraordinary. As he developed more skills, this ability became even more monstrous.

Shaking his head, Zhang Yi reminded himself that he wasn’t someone who sought to outshine others. He only cared about protecting himself and, if possible, looking after those close to him.

Liang Yue asked, ”So, what’s next?”

”What’s next?” Zhang Yi sneered.

”Isn’t it obvious? Beat them while they’re down!”

Cautious by nature, Zhang Yi never left his enemies a chance. Though the subway tunnels were frozen, some survivors had undoubtedly escaped—stronger individuals with incredible vitality.

”Whether they’re zombies or rats, they pose a serious threat to us!” Zhang Yi declared.

”Since we’re already here, we might as well kill as many as we can!”

He pulled out a shotgun, loading it with a crisp ”click.” Raising the weapon, he gestured to the group.

”Let’s go! We’ll wipe out whatever we can find. One last cleanup, and then we’re done!”

No one objected. Most of the work had been done by Zhang Yi, leaving the others with plenty of energy. Watching him mow down zombies and rats had left them eager to join the action.

The group boarded their snow vehicle and retraced their path along the Ci Qu Line. Around the subway entrances, they found plenty of half-dead rats and motionless zombies.

Unsurprisingly, they obliterated them all.
