Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies

A short while later, Zhang Yi flew up to the sea surface, carrying the shattered pieces of Nirot’s body.

The void power had devoured the seawater while simultaneously draining all moisture from Nirot’s body, preventing him from maintaining his transformed state.

Then, Zhang Yi decapitated Nirot with a single sword strike.

Witnessing Nirot’s death in battle, the Dragon King roared furiously at the sky.

”Chaos! Moon Palace Fairy! You’re seeking death!”

Linghu Feixue’s official title was [Moon Palace Fairy].

An emission-type ability user, her ability codename was [Midsummer Night’s Dream].

Zhang Yi looked up at the Dragon King’s clone. It had been locked in combat with Linghu Feixue until now without either gaining the upper hand.

Zhang Yi estimated this clone possessed roughly seventy percent of the original’s strength.

Linghu Feixue coldly laughed, ”Are you loud just because you have a big mouth? If you truly had courage, you wouldn’t have sent a clone here!”

She placed her left hand before her lips and gently blew a kiss. Countless rainbow-colored bubbles ”popped” forth, surrounding the Dragon King’s clone.

Violent explosions soon erupted one after another.

However, the damage inflicted upon the Dragon King’s clone remained minimal.

Linghu Feixue felt helpless—this Diamond Armor Dragon’s defensive capabilities rivaled those of heavy armored warships.

Even as just a clone, her wide-area AOE attacks struggled to cause substantial damage.

Zhang Yi quietly stored Nirot’s head away.

”Let me handle this!”

As he spoke, his left hand began retrieving ability-boosting food from his dimensional space to replenish energy while his right hand gathered void power.

Having lost his right-hand man, the Dragon King had become utterly enraged.

Dark clouds swirled across the sky as fierce winds howled.

Bolts of lightning descended from the storm clouds above, striking indiscriminately like sharp swords toward Zhang Yi and Linghu Feixue’s position.

”Attack together!”

Zhang Yi raised his Holy Judgment, and understanding his intent, Linghu Feixue lifted her own longsword.

A black blade sliced through the air while Linghu Feixue’s sword radiated rainbow-colored brilliance, creating a reverse rainbow that shot upward!

Their combined strike shattered the Dragon King’s lightning and slammed viciously into his massive form!

With a loud ”CRACK!”, the giant clone developed web-like fractures across its body like glass, rapidly spreading everywhere. For original chapters go to noᴠelfire.net

The Dragon King knew his clone could no longer be maintained.

Yet he still fixed Zhang Yi and Linghu Feixue with his most venomous glare.

”Remember this! I will never let you off!”

”Sooner or later, I will bite you to death piece by piece and make you my nourishment!”

Unfortunately for him, after delivering these threats, the Dragon King’s form completely disintegrated and vanished from the sky.

The sky gradually cleared as dark clouds dispersed, leaving the sea around Luoyan Island so calm it seemed nothing had ever happened.

Zhang Yi paid no heed to the Dragon King’s warning.

He glanced at Linghu Feixue not far away, who was also studying him with an amused smile.

This was their first meeting, yet they had already joined forces to defeat an enemy—quite the fateful encounter.

However, even without Linghu Feixue’s appearance, Zhang Yi theoretically could have defeated both Nirot and the Dragon King’s clone.

He simply hadn’t anticipated such clone techniques.

In actual practice, he might have chosen to retreat out of his characteristically cautious approach.

Zhang Yi and Linghu Feixue descended onto the deck of the Blue Rose.

Only then did the members of the Rose Squad emerge from the ship’s cabins.

They hadn’t participated in the recent battle mainly because the enemy was merely the Dragon King’s clone, and victory wouldn’t yield substantial gains.

Thus, there was no need for a life-or-death struggle.

Zhang Yi glanced at them and confirmed the rumors were true—they were all women without exception.

And all were beautiful women wearing blue-and-white naval combat suits.

Aloof types, gentle types, petite and adorable types—they came in all varieties.

In the apocalyptic environment, forming a superhuman unit composed entirely of women was an extremely difficult achievement.

Yet Linghu Feixue had accomplished it, and the Rose Squad’s exceptional strength made them equal to any of the other six investigation teams.

No one dared treat these female soldiers as mere decorations.

This commanded genuine admiration.

The female soldiers on deck were also studying Zhang Yi with curious eyes.

The codename [Chaos] had become too famous throughout the Jiangnan Region, with even other regions having heard of it.

Most people believed Zhang Yi was currently the strongest in the Jiangnan Region.

Women naturally admire strength, just as men naturally appreciate beauty.

So their enthusiastic gazes and barely concealed suggestive smiles were almost involuntary.

Linghu Feixue merely glanced at them without restraint.

Women looking at men they found appealing was their freedom.

She considered this a form of confidence.

Linghu Feixue sheathed her sword, stepped before Zhang Yi, and extended her right hand.

”Rose Squad captain, [Moon Palace Fairy].”

Zhang Yi took a deep breath and shook her hand: ”[Chaos]. But honestly, I don’t particularly like calling myself the Celestial Hound Squad captain. You know, it’s just a temporary team. And I’m certainly no devoted follower.”

Zhang Yi’s humor drew an unreserved smile from Linghu Feixue.

”You’re quite humorous. But I must admit, you live up to being the Jiangnan Region’s publicly acknowledged number one expert.”

”It’s extremely difficult to kill experts like Nirot in the open sea.”

Hearing the phrase ”publicly acknowledged number one expert,” Zhang Yi subtly raised an eyebrow.

He wasn’t someone who chased empty fame.

But Linghu Feixue seemed to imply something more, making him genuinely curious.

”Publicly acknowledged? So you know someone stronger than me?”

Linghu Feixue’s smile deepened.

”I might not necessarily be weaker than you either!”

Zhang Yi chuckled wryly but didn’t press further.

Linghu Feixue’s words either deliberately changed the subject or contained genuine hidden meaning.

”Anyway, thank you for coming to support us.”

Seeing them here eased Zhang Yi’s mind considerably.

Although he didn’t know how the Rose Squad had found him, now that he had organization support, he no longer needed to worry about protecting the lives of those people on Luoyan Island.

”There’s a group of people on the island that I brought back during my mission. Could you trouble yourselves to take them back to the Jiangnan Region? Just deliver them to Tianhai City. Commander Zhu previously promised me this.”

However, after Zhang Yi made this request, Linghu Feixue gently shook her head.

”Returning now won’t be so simple.”

Zhang Yi showed a puzzled expression.

”Why?”

Linghu Feixue pressed down her hat brim and said seriously, ”This incident has caused much bigger repercussions than you imagine!”

”The Colombian Navy has completely blockaded the sea. Even if our ship tried to return, they would detect us.”
