Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies-Chapter 1062: Bo Bingge

Chapter 1062: Bo Bingge

Zhang Yi didn't care what others thought about this matter.

When he decided to obtain the Divine Source alone and set traps to lure the East Sea Region and Columbus Ocean fleet into his scheme, he knew this would be the outcome.

Anyway, he had already gotten everything he wanted.

He found Jingwei and asked her to hand over Hua Hua and Lele to him.

Jingwei immediately released Hua Hua and Lele from her shadow space.

The captured Totoro was currently under full anesthesia, tongue lolling out, lying dazedly on Lele's back, looking quite ridiculous.

Zhang Yi didn't say much more, calling Hua Hua and Lele to leave with him.

Jingwei watched Zhang Yi's back and suddenly called out, "Zhang Yi!"

Zhang Yi turned back, "How many times have I told you, use code names during work!"

"Code Name Zhang."

Zhang Yi: "..."

"Um..." Jingwei hesitated for a moment, then lowered her head and said, "It's not work hours anymore."

"Oh, that's true. So what did you want to talk to me about?"

Zhang Yi looked at her calmly as he asked.

Jingwei secretly clenched her small fists, then mustered up her courage and said to Zhang Yi: 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"I... can I follow you?"

Zhang Yi's eyes showed a look of astonishment.

"You want to follow me? Are you joking, aren't you Zhu Zheng's person?"

Jingwei explained, "I'm just an experiment. And my purpose for existing is only to help Zhu Yu achieve perfection."

"My ability needs to attach to others to exist. For me, you are my best choice."

A look of understanding appeared on Zhang Yi's face.

If Zhu Yu was Yuan Kongye's duplicate, then her abilities were likely the same as Yuan Kongye's.

The reason Jingwei could quickly become a captain-level superhuman was also because she used Ice Soul.

During her time interacting with Zhang Yi, she gradually learned the truth about Ice Soul.

Thus she understood that sooner or later, she would be sacrificed for Zhu Yu's "perfection."

So she wanted to find an escape route for herself.

Zhang Yi suddenly laughed.

"But why should I take you in? Your strength means nothing to me, I possess your ability too, and mine is better than yours."

"Most importantly, I can't confirm whether you're sufficiently loyal."

"That is the most critical thing for me!"

Jingwei opened her mouth, but could only mention her one advantage.

"My shadow can contain living beings."

Zhang Yi thought for a moment, then smiled.

He didn't give Jingwei any answer, simply turned and walked away calmly.

The conditions Jingwei offered weren't enough for him to accept this woman.

Jingwei watched Zhang Yi's departing figure with a sense of loss.

After a while, one superhuman after another wearing black combat suits emerged from the shadows behind her.

They were all members of the Night Crow Squad, but unlike Jingwei, they weren't recipients of Yuan Kongye's cells.

They were recipients of Jingwei's cells.

Therefore, these people all possessed shadow abilities.

However, as recipients, they couldn't possess the ability's full characteristics—they could only be considered degraded versions of Jingwei.

But as shadows, attaching to each captain-level superhuman during operations to monitor their actions was completely sufficient.

"Captain, we should report the situation here to the commander now."

One Night Crow said in an icy tone.

Jingwei raised her head, resuming her usual cold expression.

She placed her right fist over her chest and declared:

"Now, gather all intelligence!"

...

Jiangnan Region, Blizzard City.

Zhu Zheng finished reading the intelligence transmitted by the Night Crow Squad and sat in his chair, falling into prolonged silence.

Beside him, a little figure only slightly over one meter tall stood behind the chair, holding a pink rabbit doll in her arms, looking up at him with an innocent expression. ℞ΑŊộᛒƐṠ

Zhu Zheng slowly lowered his head, glanced at the adorable little girl, then suddenly let out a long sigh.

He stroked Zhu Yu's smooth hair, then slowly stood up and walked to the window.

Today in Blizzard City, the snow was still falling heavily, with every building's roof piled high with snow.

The cold wind howled, as if this snow would never stop, freezing the entire land.

"My whole life has been like walking on thin ice. Do you think I can reach the other shore?"

Zhu Yu didn't understand what Zhu Zheng meant by these words, tilting her head curiously and blinking her cute big eyes.

Lan Xincheng watched Zhu Zheng from the side, opening his mouth but unsure what to say.

Because the intelligence they received today was simply too unbelievable.

Coupled with recent events that had caused Zhu Zheng's plans to fail repeatedly, he seemed to have aged several years.

"I calculated everything carefully, yet I still miscalculated Zhang Yi. He's more capable than I imagined, which should be a good thing."

"But when he returns, he'll definitely confront me about this. Well, I need to prepare how to deal with him."

Zhu Zheng raised his right hand, thought for a moment, then said to Lan Xincheng:

"Prepare all the supplies in the warehouse. Keep what we need, and prepare the rest for Zhang Yi."

"He's an Epsilon-level now, with many subordinates around him. He'll need increasingly more supplies from now on, and he'll still need these things."

"Also, supply him with weapons and equipment openly. Even if he might not use them, our offering shows sincerity."

"Oh, that friend of his surnamed Xu likes to come to Blizzard City to spend, right? Note which technicians he prefers and reserve them for him from now on."

...

Zhu Zheng arranged many things, all as tokens of his sincerity to Zhang Yi.

As for Zhang Yi scheming against the Jiangnan Region and secretly taking the Divine Source, Zhu Zheng had no intention of discussing it in detail with Zhang Yi.

How could they discuss it? Discuss what?

Now he could only cling tightly to Zhang Yi's support and keep him properly in the Jiangnan Region to help him.

Otherwise, if Zhang Yi became unhappy, he could just leave.

Throughout the Huaxu Kingdom's Six Major Regions, who wouldn't compete to have an Epsilon-level superhuman?

Lan Xincheng carefully noted down all of Zhu Zheng's instructions.

By the end, even he began to feel somewhat shaken, because what Zhu Zheng was giving Zhang Yi was truly excessive.

"Commander Zhu... isn't this a bit too much? Zhang Yi is originally a superhuman of the Jiangnan Region, your subordinate. But by doing this, won't it seem like we..."

Lan Xincheng swallowed the second half of his sentence.

Zhu Zheng glanced back at him and finished the sentence for him: "Seem like we're currying favor with Zhang Yi, right?"

Lan Xincheng remained silent.

Zhu Zheng sighed softly.

"One year! It's been one year since the apocalypse began. Our Jiangnan Region is located in the Huaxu Kingdom's most prosperous area, we've been too comfortable for too long, and in terms of combat power, we rank among the lowest nationally."

"But haven't we encountered enough incidents during this past year?"

"These are no longer the old times. High-level superhumans will become increasingly important. So far, we still don't have a single Epsilon-level superhuman."

"So we must properly retain Zhang Yi!"

Zhu Zheng gazed into the distance. Blizzard City's tall reinforced concrete walls appeared so solid that even large-caliber artillery would struggle to breach them.

Yet, they couldn't even stop one Delta-level spatial superhuman.
