Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies

Chapter 356: The Unstoppable War Vehicle

At the moment Gao Yuan made his move, both Zhang Yi and Hua Hua's eyes lit up.

“Watch your back!”

Zhang Yi never trusted his back to strangers.

Although he was facing away from Gao Yuan and the others, his spatial abilities made him highly sensitive to fluctuations in space.

Ever since he absorbed the abilities of Ling Feng and other special forces members, his first sense had also strengthened.

So, while remaining vigilant, the instant the killing intent from those people appeared, Zhang Yi immediately opened a Dimensional Gate behind him.

At the same time, Hua Hua’s body puffed up like a balloon, firmly blocking behind Zhang Yi and Lu Keran!

“Da-da-da-da-da!!!”

Bullets from over a dozen people rained down like a storm, all hitting Hua Hua’s black fur, which was as hard as steel needles.

After the last battle, Hua Hua had absorbed several superhumans, significantly enhancing its combat strength.

Now, facing these firearms at close range, the attack felt like mere tickles to it.

“What… what is this thing?”

“A monster!”

The personnel from Yangsheng Base were stunned; it was their first encounter with a mutated creature.

Gao Yuan was momentarily taken aback but quickly reacted, drawing his gun and aiming at Hua Hua's eyes!

“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!”

Gao Yuan’s draw was very professional, and all three shots were aimed directly at Hua Hua’s eyeballs.

He was clearly someone with professional training and high combat proficiency!

“Meow—”

Hua Hua became a bit angry, shaking its head and easily deflecting the bullets!

Zhang Yi did not make a move; instead, he protected Lu Keran in front of him.

He needed to shield Lu Keran while allowing Hua Hua to take the initiative, giving himself a chance to observe these people's combat capabilities, especially whether there were any superhumans among them. řÀNôꞖЕᶊ

Hua Hua transformed into a five-meter-tall black beast, standing like a living fortress between Zhang Yi and Lu Keran.

All bullets hitting it were harmless.

Even though the weapons used by those people were powerful models, some even loaded with armor-piercing rounds.

They were not facing the early-stage mutated Hua Hua, but the evolved Hua Hua.

“Meow—”

Hua Hua felt little pain but grew irritated, lunging forward and biting off half of a person’s body.

The others snapped back to reality and hurriedly scattered.

Next, they all performed the same action, pulling out a disposable metal syringe and stabbing it fiercely into their bodies!

“Hm?”

Zhang Yi's gaze sharpened. Their actions reminded him of the stimulants he injected while attacking the Western Mountain Base.

It seemed to be some kind of drug that enhanced combat power.

Sure enough, after injecting the drug, strange red patterns quickly appeared on their bodies.

With a roar, Hua Hua charged, its sharp claws extended like shining steel blades.

The individuals swiftly dodged, and it was evident that their speed had increased several times!

Unfortunately for them, they were not facing humans but a feline known for its speed and agility!

In terms of equal size, few could rival feline creatures; perhaps only weasels could contend.

Regular humans, even on drugs, couldn’t hope to outrun it.

With a few swipes of its claws, Hua Hua took down three people!

However, Zhang Yi soon discerned the opponents’ tactics.

A few were distracting Hua Hua, while Captain Gao Yuan led five people to launch an assault on Zhang Yi!

The five of them opened fire simultaneously at Zhang Yi.

However, Gao Yuan’s silver pistol suddenly ignited, and a blazing bullet shot toward Zhang Yi’s head!

Is this his ability?

In an instant, that thought flashed through Zhang Yi’s mind. Even though it was far away, he sensed the power contained in that bullet the moment it was fired.

For him, unless the attack exceeded the energy capacity he could contain in space, all projectile weapons were meaningless.

“Whoosh!” “Whoosh!” “Whoosh!” “Whoosh!” “Whoosh!”

All five bullets disappeared three meters in front of Zhang Yi, as if they had never been fired.

“What? You’re also a superhuman!”

Gao Yuan immediately realized the situation.

However, he had no time to regret; there was no time to escape.

“Let you see my gun too!”

Zhang Yi raised both hands, and two golden Desert Eagles appeared in the air.

He gently told Lu Keran, “Cover your ears.”

Lu Keran obediently covered her ears and looked up at the calm Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi raised his pistols and fired continuously at the heads of the five men!

“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!”

As soon as Gao Yuan and the others saw Zhang Yi draw his guns, they instinctively dodged and shot back.

However, even with their combat experience allowing them to avoid the shots, the bullets seemed to lock onto them, tracing a bizarre arc through the air and accurately hitting their foreheads!

All five men, including Captain Gao Yuan, collapsed to the ground.

In the moment of death, their eyes reflected confusion and disbelief.

They were seasoned gunmen, and yet they were shot in the head even while prepared; was this reasonable?

In a sense, precise shooting was a causal skill.

Once Zhang Yi locked onto you, unless your speed could exceed that of a bullet, evasion was futile!

Lu Keran gazed at Zhang Yi’s swift elimination of the five gunmen, her eyes brimming with admiration.

Not far away, Hua Hua swiftly finished off its battle, chewing a few of the remaining people and then impatiently spitting them out.

“You forced me to take action!”

Zhang Yi looked at the pile of corpses, letting out a helpless sigh.

“The tree wishes for tranquility, but the wind won’t stop. I’m clearly a pacifist, so why do they always force me to kill?”

He wasn’t afraid of Yangsheng Base.

But having provoked both Yangsheng Base and Chaoyu Base, if they teamed up to attack, Zhang Yi would have a bit of a headache.

Not because he was afraid, but because it would be troublesome.

However, if killing was necessary, then so be it; if they pushed their luck, he wouldn’t be lenient.

Zhang Yi walked over to Gao Yuan, placing his right hand over the bullet hole in his head and began absorbing his abilities.

To his surprise, Gao Yuan’s ability was not very strong, even weaker than the captain of the Western Mountain Special Forces.

In Zhang Yi’s current state, absorbing his abilities would not be satisfying; it was more like a light snack.

For Zhang Yi, superhumans of this tier seemed little different from ordinary people—he could eliminate them with a wave of his hand.

Lu Keran followed behind Zhang Yi, excitedly exclaiming, “Big Brother, you’re amazing! You took down so many without even getting your clothes dirty!”

Zhang Yi squatted down to search Gao Yuan’s body.

While searching, he said to Lu Keran, “Although I’m not a martial artist, having absorbed so many superhuman powers, I can honestly say I’m quite strong now.”

Even Zhang Yi’s self-proclaimed weak offensive capability far surpassed that of a low-tier superhuman like Gao Yuan.

Lu Keran watched Zhang Yi carefully searching Gao Yuan, curiously asking, “Big Brother, what are you doing?”

“Looking for something.”

After a long search, Zhang Yi finally found what he was looking for in Gao Yuan’s coat pocket.

A disposable metal syringe, through which a dark red potion could be seen.

“Is this the stimulant used by Yangsheng Base? It seems stronger than what Ke’er gave me!”

Judging purely by its effects, this drug was indeed powerful.

It could grant ordinary people incredible strength, almost reaching the level of modified humans from the Western Mountain Base.

Moreover, based on how the people from Yangsheng Base used it, it seemed there were no physical requirements—normal people could use it.

Zhang Yi put the drug away, planning to take it back for Zhou Ke’er to analyze.

This kind of thing could be a lifesaver at a critical moment.

Next, Zhang Yi searched each corpse thoroughly.

Unfortunately, besides the two vials on Gao Yuan, the others only had one each, which had been used up.

Fortunately, two individuals who hadn’t had time to use the drug were bitten to death by Hua Hua, giving Zhang Yi two extra vials.

He found nothing particularly valuable on the others.

However, he collected all their communication devices.

Unlike Zhang Yi’s phone, they carried satellite phones when going out.

These devices were much heavier than regular phones, resembling bricks, but they had all the functions of a phone and provided better communication quality.

Zhang Yi planned to copy the data from them after returning, using it to analyze intelligence on Yangsheng Base.

Afterward, he stored the body parts in his dimensional space.

Although the conflict had erupted, Yangsheng Base could not ignore the death of a superhuman and over a dozen henchmen, but delaying their discovery of the truth was also helpful.

At the very least, Zhang Yi needed to buy time to fortify the outer walls of the Shelter and the perimeter defenses of Cloud Manor.

After cleaning up the body parts and tidying up the battlefield.

Including the makeshift snow vehicles from Yangsheng Base, he also collected those.

Not that he needed them, but taking them could confuse others.

He cleaned up the bloodstains on the ground, ensuring no one would find evidence of the deadly struggle that occurred here.

Throughout the process, Zhang Yi’s actions were calm and unhurried.

Lu Keran began to feel anxious.

“Big Brother, won’t anyone come to reinforce them?”

Zhang Yi brushed the snow off his hands and replied calmly, “Yangsheng Base is over two

hundred kilometers away. Even if they have the advantage in numbers and ample fuel resources, crossing such a long distance for combat would require leaving a large force to defend at home.”

“This is just a materials factory; they won’t concentrate too many troops here. There are plenty of useful resources around.”

Of course, Zhang Yi referred to resources valuable to others.

He currently lacked nothing.

“Let’s go find the materials you mentioned. After fixing up the Shelter, we need to prepare for the possible war that may erupt next!”

Zhang Yi spoke lightly.

Before colliding with Yangsheng Base, he had always been cautious, trying to avoid conflict.

But now that both sides had clashed, Zhang Yi felt indifferent.

Life and death should not be taken lightly, but one must act against defiance!

I’ve tolerated enough; if they don’t leave themselves a way out and insist on bringing trouble upon themselves, they can’t blame me.

Lu Keran followed closely behind Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi didn’t even bother climbing over walls, letting Hua Hua charge through and smash a large hole in the wall.

Then the two entered the materials factory through the opening.

Zhang Yi didn’t know anything about the materials needed to repair the Shelter; after all, he hadn’t studied materials or chemical engineering in college.

So, he followed Lu Keran, who picked out whatever materials she needed, which Zhang Yi then stored in his dimensional space.

He took everything that might be useful, leaving nothing for others.

If the factory hadn’t been so large, Zhang Yi would have emptied it entirely without a second thought.

Half an hour later, the two left the factory with their arms full.

Zhang Yi drove the vehicle, and the three of them sped off towards Cloud Manor without looking back.

“The war games are about to begin!”

Zhang Yi blinked and suddenly thought that since they had come this far, he might as well use the imminent enemy to solve the troubles in Xu Family Town.

He glanced at Lu Keran beside him, not revealing his plans.

However, he had an idea in mind about how to attract the enemy’s attention to Xu Family Town.
