Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies-Chapter 1063: Abnormal Awakeners
Chapter 1063: Abnormal Awakeners
Zhang Yi's ship arrived at Tianhai City, docking at Chaoyu Harbor.
This trip hadn't been away for long, and Tianhai City remained exactly as before.
Chen Jingguan brought people to welcome Zhang Yi and his group.
Zhang Yi said to Chen Jingguan, "Arrange vehicles to take them to Xiaomiaoshan Subway Station."
Chen Jingguan paused briefly, then nodded and had people arrange transportation for their departure.
He had originally thought these were important figures from the Jiangnan Region, and that Zhang Yi would definitely need to entertain them properly.
Unexpectedly, they were just passing through.
Deng Shentong walked over and asked Zhang Yi, "Aren't you coming back with us?"
Hearing this, Zhang Yi smiled contemptuously.
"If I go back now, I'm afraid many people wouldn't be able to sleep, right?"
"Better forget it. You go back first and properly explain the situation here to the higher-ups. I'll naturally come over in a while."
Even if Zhu Zheng didn't summon him, Zhang Yi would still go.
He still needed to have a good talk with Old Zhu about sending Jingwei to secretly monitor him!
Deng Shentong nodded thoughtfully, reached out and patted Zhang Yi's shoulder, looking at him sincerely as he said:
"Zhang Yi, you've saved me more than once. No matter what decisions you make, I'll always stand by your side!"
Zhang Yi raised an eyebrow slightly and smiled playfully, "Can you represent the Deng Family?"
Deng Shentong was momentarily stunned, then laughed, "Probably, yes."
Zhang Yi's thoughts churned rapidly.
You cunning Deng Shentong, it seems you still haven't given up on competing for power in Blizzard City.
He probably thought Zhang Yi might fall out with Zhu Zheng, so he hurried over to win Zhang Yi over, making it convenient for their Deng Family to rise to power later.
If others didn't understand the strength of Epsilon level, how could he not understand?
Basically, in today's Blizzard City, whoever could gain Zhang Yi's support would become the dominant force.
"Ah, I'll remember that."
Zhang Yi only responded lightly.
Deng Shentong's bright eyes flickered with unusual light.
He thought to himself: Zhang Yi today is different from before, our Deng Family must strengthen our relationship with him, and absolutely must not become enemies. РA₦őBΕ𝐒
Chen Jingguan arranged for people to take everyone to the subway station. Zhang Yi couldn't be bothered to go along, he just wanted to go home and rest properly.
After a major battle ended, what could be more intoxicating than returning home, enjoying a warm and comfortable house, drinking a hot coffee personally brewed by Yang Siya, and then lying on Zhou Ke'er's lap pillow?
Just as he was about to leave, Zhang Yi spotted several familiar faces among the Chaoyu Harbor guard team.
A man with a crew cut, relatively neat beard, resolute expression, and dark skin.
And two other men with similar bronze skin tones.
They were precisely the fishermen he had brought back from Rockflow Island—Lu Dahai, Rong Lei, and Yu Gang.
After bringing that group back initially, to prevent them from forming cliques, Zhang Yi had them separated and placed in three different bases.
Lu Dahai and his two companions were assigned to Chen Jingguan's place.
He just hadn't expected them to rise up so quickly, becoming members of the guard team.
But thinking about it carefully, it made sense.
Tianhai City's population was sparse. After several battles, there were now less than twenty thousand survivors remaining.
It was one of the cities with the smallest populations in the entire Jiangnan Region.
The various major bases also lacked young adults.
Lu Dahai and his two companions were strong and powerful, and they were bold and willing to fight, so it was indeed easy for them to stand out.
Zhang Yi smiled slightly and waved toward them, "Come over here."
Lu Dahai and his two companions had been eagerly watching Zhang Yi.
By now, they certainly understood that Zhang Yi was the true ruler of Tianhai City, and even their Dawn Rain Base leader was just Zhang Yi's subordinate.
The moment they saw Zhang Yi calling them, the three excitedly ran over.
"Mr. Zhang!"
Lu Dahai bowed respectfully. Toward Zhang Yi, his heart was still filled with awe and gratitude.
After all, it was Zhang Yi who had brought them back from that desperate place Rockflow Island, saving their lives.
Zhang Yi pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his Dimensional Space—his preferred Jinling Twelve Beauties brand.
He rarely smoked normally, but after the apocalypse, he occasionally smoked one.
He distributed cigarettes to all three of them, and after lighting one for himself, he simply tossed the remaining half pack to Lu Dahai.
This action made all three men's eyes light up.
Cigarettes had become extremely scarce resources after the apocalypse!
After all, besides the regional headquarters still producing tobacco for high-ranking officials, this stuff was out of stock in the outside world, becoming increasingly rare.
"How have things been at Dawn Rain Base recently? Getting used to it?"
Zhang Yi asked casually while smoking.
Lu Dahai hurriedly replied, "It's been great! Our lives here are much better, incomparably better than when we were on Rockflow Island!"
Zhang Yi nodded, "Since you think it's good, then work hard. I usually don't like to interfere with the affairs of the three major bases. What kind of life you want to live depends on your own efforts."
After saying this, Zhang Yi didn't wait for Lu Dahai's response and walked off on his own.
Chatting with them was just a momentary whim. After all, they were people he had brought back with great difficulty, so he naturally had some expectations for them.
Zhang Yi opened his Dimensional Gate, preparing to leave.
Just at that moment, Lu Dahai and his two brothers looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, then suddenly shouted:
"Mr... Mr. Zhang! Please wait... wait a moment!"
Lu Dahai was so excited he could barely speak, his face turning red with effort.
Zhang Yi turned back curiously, "Hmm? Is there something?"
Lu Dahai scratched his head, carefully looked around, then walked up to Zhang Yi and said somewhat excitedly:
"Mr. Zhang, I... I've also awakened an ability!"
Zhang Yi raised an eyebrow, "You awakened too? How did it happen?"
Lu Dahai said, "It was just one day while working, I suddenly awakened."
Now Zhang Yi found this rather strange.
Based on his experience, awakening abilities was very difficult.
For example, himself, and also Yang Xinxin—they had all undergone life-and-death trials before awakening.
There were a few exceptions, but they had awakened with the help of rare items.
Like Yang Siya and Zhou Ke'er.
But Lu Dahai actually said he suddenly awakened?
"Explain in detail."
Zhang Yi crossed his arms, looking at Lu Dahai with curiosity.
Lu Dahai recounted the process of his awakening.
That day, he was wearing cold-weather gear, unloading boxes of sea fish from fishing boats at the harbor.
Then suddenly, he lifted his head, and the world before his eyes turned completely white. Then his blood started feeling strange, as if suddenly turning into magma, and after a while turning into ice.
Like this, alternating hot and cold sensations ran wildly through his body.
He fainted at that time, and when he woke up, he discovered his body had undergone marvelous changes.
