Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies

As soon as Zhang Yi gave the order, the factions in Tianhai City scrambled to gather materials for him. Within days, the entire city had been scoured clean, and a massive stockpile of rare materials was delivered to him.

After praising their efforts, Zhang Yi sent everything to Lu Keran’s workshop and had her begin replicating the Origin Bullet.

For Lu Keran, this task was a real challenge. The shelter lacked advanced production lines, so she had to rely entirely on her Godly Mechanic ability to carry out the work.

Zhang Yi wasn’t in a rush. The war in Tianhai City was over, and there wouldn’t be any large-scale conflicts for the foreseeable future. They had time.

Since they now had the materials for the Origin Bullet, Zhang Yi also considered having Lu Keran design a new combat suit using the same materials.

But Lu Keran immediately waved her hands.

”Big bro, you better give up on that idea!”

She carefully explained:

The Origin Bullet was designed to counter superhumans by breaking through their protective energy fields. However, if those materials were used to make armor, the defense wouldn’t necessarily be better than regular bulletproof vests.

”Think of it like physical resistance versus magic resistance. If we make a suit from Origin Bullet materials, it’ll be highly resistant to superhuman abilities.”

”But against someone with a gun or a Strength-type or Beast-type superhuman? This material would actually be weaker than regular armor.”

Hearing this, Zhang Yi immediately understood.

He rubbed his chin and thought for a moment. ”Then what if we use it as an inner lining? Wear it under the armor?”

Lu Keran’s eyes lit up.

”That’s actually a really good idea!”

But before Zhang Yi could celebrate, she quickly poured cold water on his enthusiasm.

”Bullets are one thing, but making an entire suit is much harder.”

She spread her hands. ”First, we’d need to spin the material into thread, then weave it into fabric. Sounds simple, but in reality, it’s incredibly complicated.”

Zhang Yi smacked his forehead—he had forgotten she was a mechanic, not a tailor.

”Alright, just focus on replicating the bullets for now. We’ll figure out the combat suit later.”

Lu Keran nodded. ”Got it, big bro!”

Before long, Lu Keran successfully replicated the Origin Bullets.

With Godly Mechanic, as long as she had a sample and enough materials, recreating a weapon was easy.

She handed Zhang Yi a case filled with neatly arranged silver bullets.

”Huh? What’s this?” Zhang Yi was surprised.

”I remember Origin Bullets being black.”

Lu Keran grinned proudly. ”I made some improvements! I added rhodium to enhance the bullet’s hardness and infused it with heavy metal toxins. If an enemy gets shot, they’ll suffer from heavy metal poisoning, worsening their injuries!”

Hearing this, Zhang Yi hesitated mid-reach.

”So… you poisoned them? Wow… that’s so my style.”

Lu Keran quickly added, ”I knew you’d like it, big bro! After all, your usual methods are pretty…”

She trailed off, swallowing words like ”ruthless” or ”shameless.”

Zhang Yi narrowed his eyes. ”I’ll take that as a compliment.”

”But wait—if they’re poisoned, how am I supposed to use them?”

Lu Keran explained, ”The toxin is inside the bullet. It only activates when fired—after the gunpowder ignites and the bullet hits blood, the poison is released. It’s harmless to touch.”

”I named them Holy Silver Bullets! This way, they won’t be confused with Origin Bullets, and no one will accuse you of knocking off Jiangnan District’s ammo, hehe.”

Zhang Yi couldn’t help but give her a thumbs-up for her cleverness.

He picked up a Holy Silver Bullet. The moment he touched it, he felt a slight discomfort—it really did affect his superhuman energy.

However, since his ability was spatial manipulation, it made no difference whether he used special bullets or regular ones.

As Zhang Yi examined the bullets, Lu Keran brought over another large metal case.

The box was nearly two meters long and looked extremely heavy. Even Lu Keran, who worked with machines all day, struggled to carry it.

”Big bro, I made something extra for you! Check it out—you’ll love it!”

The moment Zhang Yi saw the box’s length, his eyes lit up.

”Don’t tell me… it’s a new gun?”

Lu Keran’s Godly Mechanic ability allowed her to refine weapons to their absolute peak—meaning she could drastically enhance their performance.

She grinned. ”You’re sharp, big bro! You guessed it right away!”

Excited, Zhang Yi took the case, placed it on the table, and unlocked the latches.

Inside was an entire set of dark silver weaponry.

Two silver pistols, engraved with intricate violet patterns.

A heavy sniper rifle, with its stock and barrel separated—clearly a high-caliber anti-materiel sniper rifle, Zhang Yi’s favorite.

Zhang Yi had a deep passion for weapons. The moment he saw them, he picked them up eagerly, feeling their weight and balance in his hands.

A true expert could tell quality at a glance. The weapons had just the right heft, and the perfect grip made Zhang Yi so thrilled that he nearly wanted to hug Lu Keran on the spot.

”These are amazing! Absolutely amazing!” Zhang Yi exclaimed.

Lu Keran smirked. ”The weapons are designed to work only with Holy Silver Bullets. That means even if someone else gets their hands on them, they won’t function properly.”

”They’re custom-made just for you, big bro!”

Her face flushed with excitement. Seeing Zhang Yi so enthusiastic about her work deeply satisfied her pride as a top-tier mechanic.

Then, she revealed the names of her creations.

The two dark silver pistols: White Owl.

The anti-materiel sniper rifle: Thunderstrike.

Zhang Yi quickly got familiar with their mechanics and handling.

His excitement soared, but he didn’t forget to reward Lu Keran.

With a playful smile, he walked over and gently patted her soft, fair cheek.

”Keran, you’re a one-of-a-kind genius! You’ve outdone yourself this time. Tell me, what kind of reward do you want?”
