Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies

Chapter 1082: Master, I Have Seen the Light

Zhang Yi was extremely satisfied with this gift. At this point in time, he truly did need to upgrade his weapons.

These bullets were worth a fortune, but they were just perfect for someone like him.

Deng Shentong continued explaining some of the principles behind the bullets.

For example, to facilitate separation, the bullet head and casing were made of different materials, and the gunpowder used was also specially formulated.

It couldn’t even really be called gunpowder anymore, but rather a special type of propellant.

Deng Shentong picked up a bullet and activated the special ability within his body. A gentle white light flowed into the bullet.

”Ordinary bullets are propelled by gunpowder, but this special type of bullet uses a material that can absorb special abilities.”

”In other words, when you use these bullets, the power of the shot depends entirely on the strength of your special ability.”

Zhang Yi was inwardly ecstatic.

Wasn’t this type of bullet exactly what he needed?

Deng Shentong then pointed towards the blue chip.

”The synthesis method for Adamantine Metal, as well as the manufacturing technique for these special bullets, are all stored on this chip.”

”With your capabilities, I believe you’ll find a way to produce them yourself in the future.”

Zhang Yi was overjoyed.

The gift he received from the Deng Family was in no way inferior to the supplies Zhu Zheng had given him!

”Isn’t this gift a bit too valuable?”

Zhang Yi said with a smile.

Deng Yuanbo and Deng Shentong also smiled.

”Being able to earn the friendship of an Epsilon-level superhuman makes this gift more than worth its price!”

This was a favor.

If one day in the future, the Deng Family needed Zhang Yi’s help, based on the accumulated goodwill over time, Zhang Yi would step in.

The Deng Family was in the business of doing business; they knew how to invest in valuable people.

Zhang Yi thought for a moment, then suddenly asked, ”Does the higher-ups also possess this type of weapon technology?”

Zhu Zheng had promised him that he would also provide him with this kind of technical know-how.

Deng Yuanbo pondered for a moment before speaking frankly, ”They do have some similar technology. The method they use is a very advanced one, but it has more limitations. It’s called energy-storing laser weapon technology.”

”Compared to physical bullets, its method involves charging energy and then firing high-energy particle beams.”

”It’s hard to say which method is better or worse; the key lies in the usage scenario.”

Zhang Yi immediately understood.

”For example, the bullet can be coated with the demon-breaking substance of the Origin Bullet. But laser weapons eliminate the hassle of reloading bullets, though their energy consumption might be greater, right?”

He had seen both methods used on Billy the Kid.

Deng Yuanbo nodded, ”Exactly.”

Zhang Yi made up his mind; it would be best to integrate both systems into the firearms.

However, the most effective would undoubtedly be these expensive Adamantine Metal bullets.

Zhang Yi didn’t stand on ceremony and accepted the items.

He intended to leave. As he stepped out the door, he saw several military vehicles parked outside.

Baili Changqing’s massive frame was leaning against the hood of a car, a pricey Huangwan cigarette dangling from his mouth.

The other members of the Celestial Hound Squad were also nearby. It was obvious they were waiting for Zhang Yi to come out.

Zhang Yi smiled. He had originally planned to meet Baili Changqing for a drink.

He didn’t expect the entire Celestial Hound Squad to be here.

”I need to tell Old Zhu sometime that this damn squad should just be disbanded!”

Zhang Yi muttered under his breath.

He didn’t like managing people, and no matter how you looked at it now, the combat strength of these team members was somewhat of a liability.

Furthermore, if he needed technical talent, his Shelter lacked for nothing.

”Yo.”

Zhang Yi walked out the main gate and waved at them.

The group immediately excitedly crowded around him.

”Captain!”

Their eyes were filled with reverence as they quickly encircled Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi’s gaze swept over their faces, finally settling on Baili Changqing’s honest, weathered face.

”You all came? Don’t you have training?”

Baili Changqing scratched the back of his head and smiled honestly, ”Captain, training can wait a day. But getting to see you isn’t easy!”

”You have no idea how much everyone wanted to see you.”

The long-haired beauty Meng Siyu took out a communicator from her pocket, opened a text file, and handed it to Zhang Yi.

”Captain, can you sign this for me? My nephew really likes you and insisted I ask you for an autograph.”

Zhang Yi shook his head helplessly, ”You’re not trying to scam me with this, are you?”

Everyone burst into laughter.

Zhang Yi was naturally joking. Under Meng Siyu’s blushing expression, he extended a finger and signed the name [Chaos] for her.

Hmm, the handwriting seemed a bit ugly, but he hadn’t touched a pen in over a decade, so it couldn’t be helped.

Nowadays, the only style he was any good at was cursive script.

”Captain, we’ve prepared a welcoming feast for you. Let’s have a couple of drinks together?”

Baili Changqing said to Zhang Yi, his expression sincere.

Zhang Yi smiled faintly, ”Having a couple of drinks would normally be fine. But today might not be the most appropriate.”

”Commander Zhu wanted to hold a victory banquet for me, and I turned him down. If I went and had a casual drink with you all, wouldn’t that be slapping him in the face?”

Hearing this, everyone’s expressions turned somewhat disappointed.

Zhang Yi was now the number one expert in the Jiangnan Region, a hero in everyone’s hearts.

Blizzard City’s daily broadcasts were filled with his heroic deeds, which almost everyone could recite by heart.

”The number one hero in the world, the exceptionally wise leader, the pioneer of unity and friendship, the saint with an iron will and noble sentiments!”

”He is the pride of our Jiangnan Region, the guardian deity of survivors in the Apocalypse, the selfless and fearless investigation team captain—Chaos!”

Zhang Yi’s relationship with most of the Celestial Hound Squad members was actually just average.

He was only slightly closer with Baili Changqing.

He couldn’t be bothered to expend energy on pointless social interactions.

Back when he was just an unknown nobody, few people thought highly of him.

Now that they saw he was successful, that he had become a powerful figure everyone revered, they all put on an eager front, going to great lengths to try and establish some connection.

Anyone who could get close to Zhang Yi would have a brighter future in Blizzard City.

But who was Zhang Yi?

He wouldn’t get carried away by others’ flattery, and he certainly wouldn’t waste time on unimportant people.

So, he walked out from the middle of the crowd and said to Baili Changqing, ”Let’s go. I want to talk with you alone.”

The others all wore disappointed expressions, but since Zhang Yi had spoken, they didn’t have the courage to follow.

Baili Changqing chuckled, got in the car, and left with Zhang Yi.

The two went to their usual spot, the Cipher Bar.

His arrival once again caused a sensation throughout the bar.

The bar manager personally came to attend to Zhang Yi. However, just as he was about to offer Zhang Yi’s tab on the house, Zhang Yi tossed out his own points card.

”Today, all the expenses here are on me!”

Upon hearing this, the bar manager gave a knowing smile. Soon, the sound from the speakers echoed throughout every corner of the bar.

”Today, all expenses here are covered by our esteemed Captain Chaos!”

Zhang Yi thought for a moment, then turned back and said to the manager, ”If it exceeds 10 million, just tell them the event has ended.”

The manager’s smile froze on his face.

After a long while, staring at the closed private room door, he nodded with a serious expression.

”As expected of Captain Chaos. Such a cautious mindset must be a prerequisite for becoming a powerhouse. Master, I have seen the light!”
