Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies

The giant mutated cockroach that emerged from beneath the snow caused massive casualties the moment it appeared.

Its sharp claws and pointed mandibles could easily pry open a soldier’s skull and then suck out the brain matter.

This thing seemed very picky, only eating the most delicious brain matter. The corpses would then fall, immediately swarmed by other cockroaches.

In the blink of an eye, seven or eight soldiers were killed by it.

Flamethrowers, bullets, and grenades had minimal effect on it.

Chen Jingguan gritted his teeth. ”Damn thing, let me handle it!”

He leaped into the air, his entire body shooting toward that cockroach like a spring.

The giant cockroach tangled with him, its wings flapping with a ”fluttering” sound as it attacked Chen Jingguan with its sharp claws and teeth.

Chen Jingguan’s ability, [Rubber Man], was most effective against close-combat superhumans and mutated beasts.

He nimbly dodged the giant cockroach’s attacks, then wrapped around its body like a python. Once he had the cockroach completely entangled, he began to exert force, strangling it!

”Creak... creak...”

The giant cockroach cried out in pain, cracks appearing in its carapace.

It desperately tried to slash at Chen Jingguan’s body, but the Rubber Man had extremely high resistance to such physical attacks. Chen Jingguan simply ignored them.

”You die now!”

Chen Jingguan growled angrily through gritted teeth.

He had to take out these big guys first, because they were the real danger.

As long as they were dealt with, even though the remaining small cockroaches would still be troublesome, they could be cleaned up slowly, minimizing the overall losses to the base.

His python-like body continued to exert force, the giant cockroach’s body beginning to deform and twist.

However, at that moment, some pores on the giant cockroach’s body suddenly opened, spewing out a large cloud of yellow gas.

Chen Jingguan hadn’t been prepared for this, so he wasn’t wearing his combat suit.

He involuntarily inhaled this yellow gas. Soon, his face turned black, and his vision swam, the world spinning before his eyes.

His body, which had been tightly wrapped around the giant cockroach, went limp and fell away.

The giant cockroach let out an excited ”screeching” cry, then turned around, raising its scythe-like forelimbs, and chopped down at Chen Jingguan!

At that moment, no one could help him, because Lu Dahai had entered the fray earlier than him, relying on his own strength to grapple with many giant cockroaches.

At the critical moment, Zhang Yi finally arrived.

Only he could possibly cross almost the entire distance of Tianhai City to provide support in such a short time.

Zhang Yi hovered in mid-air. Seeing the scene below, he couldn’t help but swallow hard.

The snow-covered ground spanning several kilometers in radius was actually covered with that disgusting stuff.

Zhang Yi’s trypophobia was triggered.

Nevertheless, he quickly took action. Raising his right hand, he flicked his fingers. Over a dozen Void Blades directly sliced that giant cockroach to pieces.

”Whoosh!”

Zhang Yi instantly teleported next to Chen Jingguan, rescuing him from the perilous situation of being about to be devoured by the cockroach swarm.

The sight before him also made him frown deeply.

The cockroach swarm was already entangled with the base’s personnel.

He could certainly kill all these cockroaches, but what about these laborers?

After a moment’s thought, Zhang Yi made a decision in his heart.

With a wave of his hand, he opened a Dimensional Gate at the base entrance, shouting to everyone, ”Everyone, get back here, now!”

As he spoke, he pulled out White Owl and began firing continuously at the large individuals within the cockroach swarm.

One black beam after another shot from the barrels of White Owl. With the support of his Precision Shooting ability, they disintegrated the most threatening cockroaches into a particle state.

No one knew what Zhang Yi was planning, but they trusted him, because Zhang Yi was now Tianhai City’s guardian deity.

Under Zhang Yi’s covering fire, everyone at the Dawn Rain Base faced significantly less pressure.

Although many people had cockroaches crawling all over them, these little guys were just disgusting and wouldn’t pose a life-threatening danger in the short term.

Zhang Yi, draped in a beige overcoat, stood calmly at the entrance to the shelter, the Absolute Barrier Between Two Realms protecting his body.

Two pistols continuously spewed black beams.

Every beam that landed would kill a giant cockroach.

As for the swarms of small cockroaches, he simply ignored them, letting them chase after the humans into his Dimensional Space.

People who entered the Dimensional Space would be instantly teleported by Zhang Yi inside the shelter, preventing them from being harmed by the Dimensional Space.

But the cockroach swarms were teleported several kilometers away, only to repeat their charging action.

In less than two minutes, Zhang Yi had rescued everyone.

The massive cockroach tide truly resembled ocean waves, even piling up high, reaching five or six meters.

These disgusting little creatures, when gathered together, produced an extremely unnerving cacophony of cries.

”Alright, everyone who needed saving has been saved.”

Zhang Yi said calmly, then elegantly twirled White Owl in his hands.

”Time to clear the field!”

White Owl had now been modified, equipped with the world’s latest energy storage laser technology.

It could store a superhuman’s energy and then fire it out as energy waves.

So, with proficient use, one could completely control the output power.

Zhang Yi raised both hands, the corner of his mouth quirking up to reveal his snow-white teeth.

”Heh!”

His fingers squeezed the triggers. One black energy orb after another blasted toward the cockroach tide ahead!

There was no powerful energy fluctuation. Where the Void Power landed, small spherical spaces would appear. An instant later, within a space of several dozen cubic meters, all cockroaches would vanish without a trace.

It was like using an eraser to wipe away scribbled stains on a notebook.

Zhang Yi was now an Epsilon-level superhuman. The amount of special energy within his body was far beyond what ordinary superhumans could imagine.

One Void bullet after another shot out, as splendid as a display of black fireworks.

The massive cockroach tide was disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

One minute later, the area in front of the Dawn Rain Base fell quiet.

Almost all the cockroaches had been cleaned up by Zhang Yi. Only a few scattered cockroaches remained on the ground, fearlessly crawling toward the shelter.

Zhang Yi performed a stylish move, holstering his guns. He then dispelled the barrier in front of the shelter door and turned to walk inside.

Everyone behind him was stunned by Zhang Yi’s heroic rescue.

Their gazes upon Zhang Yi were like those looking up at a deity!

Several soldiers quickly grabbed flamethrowers and went out to clean up the remaining scattered cockroaches.

”Mr. Zhang!”

Lu Dahai panted heavily, bowing respectfully to Zhang Yi.

The base survivors also bowed, addressing him as ”Sir.”

Zhang Yi nodded. His gaze passed over them, landing on Chen Jingguan, who was being given emergency treatment nearby.

His condition was very bad. His entire face was black, like a dead man.

Who knew how many types of viruses were in the toxic mist sprayed by that cockroach? Taking even one breath without a gas mask was something no one could withstand.
