Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies

The soul-binding chains wrapped around Zhang Yi rapidly dissipated, and even the Black and White Impermanence in the room vanished like ashes blown away by a gust of wind.

One of Zhang Yi’s palms reached out from the void, tearing open a spatial rift, and his body cautiously stepped out of the dimensional space.

[Tracking of All Things] could predict events about to unfold in the outside world, so he was certain the crisis had been resolved before returning.

Though the crisis was over, Zhang Yi’s back was slightly damp with sweat.

If he hadn’t gained tremendous rewards during his trips to the Southwest Region and Edo City, allowing his current strength to break through consecutively and reach a level of around 23,000 points.

Then Houtu’s strike just now would have definitely dealt him some damage.

It might not have killed him, but it would have forced him to recuperate for a considerable period before fully recovering.

”She was trying to knock me down a peg, was she?”

A cold, icy arc curled at the corner of Zhang Yi’s mouth.

No matter who it was, anyone who made a move against him would be regarded as an enemy!

He was not someone who enjoyed swallowing his anger and suffering in silence.

The moment the Black and White Impermanence dissipated, Houtu Guan Longyue, who was in the Earth God Temple of Shengjing City, a trace of surprise flickered in her eyes.

”Huh? He actually... broke through my ability?”

Qin Qigong, who had been waiting for the result on the side, hurriedly asked, ”How did it go?”

Guan Longyue shot him a glance and said indifferently, ”His current strength is far more formidable than imagined! Even my [Hell’s Guillotine] was useless against him.”

She said somewhat lazily, ”Although the information fragments were incomplete, if his ability index were below 20,000 points, this move would have made him feel very miserable. Marshal Qin, you underestimated him! Looks like there’s going to be trouble now!”

Her tone was languid, seemingly indifferent to the matter, and there was even a hint of mockery tugging at the corner of her lips.

After all, this whole affair was entirely Qin Qigong’s fault, and she didn’t need to bear any responsibility.

Based on her understanding of Zhang Yi, that guy wouldn’t possibly charge into Shengjing without confidence while facing both her and Shang Daowen at the same time.

So all the trouble that followed would be Qin Qigong’s problem alone.

Qin Qigong’s face instantly turned whiter than the heavy snow falling outside.

”How could this happen?”

He blurted out in shock.

The anxiety on his face grew increasingly thick.

He hadn’t intended to take Zhang Yi’s life, he simply thought this junior was acting too arrogantly and would eventually cause a major disaster, so he wanted to knock him down a peg.

But he never expected that the other party’s strength had already exceeded the 20,000-point threshold, reaching the Black Chariot-tier level!

Combined with his bizarre dual-attribute ability, perhaps... even Ksitigarbha King Shang Daowen could no longer suppress him.

And whether it was Houtu or Shang Daowen, both were the foundation of the Shengjing District and would not easily leave Shengjing.

If Zhang Yi pursued the matter afterwards, how should the Shengjing District face him?

The more Qin Qigong thought about it, the more his head ached.

”I can only hope he prioritizes the bigger picture and doesn’t make a mountain out of a molehill over such a trivial matter. At worst, the Shengjing District can offer him some compensation!”

”Besides, he was the one who acted recklessly first, it wasn’t my fault!”

Qin Qigong muttered to himself, trying to forcibly comfort himself.

But the amused, mocking smile on Guan Longyue’s face signaled that she could already see Qin Qigong was panicking.

Black Chariot-tier Transcendents, there were barely a few in the entire Huaxu Nation right now. Zhang Yi could practically walk around however he pleased!

He could even make district-level powers show him a measure of deference.

...

Just as Qin Qigong feared, Zhang Yi had no intention of letting this matter pass so easily.

He was someone extremely sensitive to danger.

Anything that could potentially threaten his life would be treated with the utmost seriousness.

In Zhang Yi’s mind, he had already conjured up countless possibilities, including the Shengjing District and the Jiangnan Region joining forces to eliminate him as an unstable factor!

Of course, that possibility was extremely remote.

After all, a Black Chariot-tier combatant was extremely important to the nation.

But Zhang Yi was a crisis-obsessed person who wouldn’t overlook any possibility.

He swept his cold, piercing gaze across all directions, fully unfolding his Mental Domain. Within a five-kilometer radius centered on the shelter, any spatial fluctuations caused by living beings could not escape his perception.

Zhang Yi thought for a moment and decided not to disturb the others who were resting.

He simply got up, walked out of the room, came to Yang Xinxin’s door, and pressed the doorbell.

”Xinxin, it’s me. There’s something very important I need to talk to you about.”

Zhang Yi said softly outside the door, avoiding disturbing others.

However, the room’s soundproofing was excellent, so this caution wasn’t really necessary.

But it was the middle of the night, and suddenly coming to knock on a young girl’s door, he instinctively moved more quietly.

”Creak-”

The door was quickly opened. Yang Xinxin was wearing a black silk nightgown, her long black hair cascading down her back, her pristine little feet slipped into a pair of rabbit plush slippers, revealing her slender, fair calves.

At midnight, her beautiful figure was faintly visible, whether intentionally or not.

Zhang Yi had also never come to find her alone in the middle of the night before. Seeing her in her nightgown, he was momentarily stunned.

He then realized that the young girl before him was already 21 years old, no longer the frail, disabled, sickly-yandere girl from three years ago.

”Big brother, it’s so late. Did you come to Xinxin’s room for something important?”

A playful smile flickered in Yang Xinxin’s black gem-like eyes.

Smart as she was, of course she knew Zhang Yi wouldn’t come over in the middle of the night for a night raid.

Perhaps women who are too smart always lack a bit of romance.

Zhang Yi took a deep breath, and his expression turned serious.

”Let’s talk inside!”

Yang Xinxin made way for him. Zhang Yi walked into the room, and Yang Xinxin closed the door behind them.

Zhang Yi didn’t waste any time and said directly, ”I was just attacked! It was Guan Longyue who made the move!”

The smile on Yang Xinxin’s face vanished in an instant, a chilling killing intent flashing through her black eyes.

”That woman?”

Zhang Yi briefly recounted everything that had just happened, including his conjectures, to Yang Xinxin.

”My head is a bit of a mess right now, because I’m not sure what kind of complex schemes and conspiracies lie behind this. Xinxin, help me analyze this!”

”Right now, should I go kill a few people?”

Zhang Yi sat on the sofa, rubbing his temples.

When Yang Xinxin heard that the other party didn’t intend to kill Zhang Yi, and had only used a warning-style attack, she immediately understood the reason behind it.

”Big brother, it’s because you didn’t report to your superiors during these two operations. Not to mention the Shengjing side, even Blizzard City didn’t know what you were planning to do.”

”They don’t want to face an unstable factor, so they wanted to knock you down a peg.”
