Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies-Chapter 1064: Surprise

Chapter 1064: Surprise

Zhang Yi listened carefully, not missing a single word.

Lu Dahai's mutation process was the first he had heard of that was completely different from others.

This might be a new path of mutation.

"Let me see your current ability," Zhang Yi said to Lu Dahai.

Lu Dahai rolled up his sleeve and spread open his palm.

With a slight exertion of force, his skin tone instantly turned a dark greenish color like seaweed. A layer of fine scales grew on his fingers and claws, and even webbing similar to a frog's appeared between his five fingers.

"Clang!"

A reverse-growing bone blade suddenly shot out from his forearm, cold and menacing!

Zhang Yi murmured, "Beastman type, marine species. An ability indeed very suitable for you!"

He looked at Lu Dahai and suddenly smiled. "Does anyone else know about this?"

Lu Dahai swallowed hard. "This matter caught the attention of the higher-ups at the time. Boss Chen also knows."

Zhang Yi thought for a moment, then pointed at him. "You three, come back with me!"

Lu Dahai's heart swelled with joy. Being able to get closer to Zhang Yi meant they would have a better chance to develop in Tianhai City in the future!

"Yes, Mr. Zhang!"

"But we need to report to Boss Chen first."

Zhang Yi scoffed dismissively and casually called over a guard soldier. "Later, you tell Chen Jingguan that I'm taking these three with me."

The guard soldier hurriedly nodded. "Yes, Mr. Zhang!"

Zhang Yi directly opened the Dimensional Gate right in front of them. Then, he stepped inside with Hua Hua and Lele.

The three Lu brothers looked at each other and quickly followed.

Stepping through the Dimensional Gate, the next instant, they appeared several kilometers away.

Although they had seen this miraculous method before, they were still greatly amazed by it.

Not long after, Zhang Yi brought them to the long-unseen shelter.

Zhang Yi's return naturally prompted a welcome from the entire household.

However, seeing the three awkward, restrained, and obsequious-looking fellows following Zhang Yi, everyone was still a bit curious.

Zhou Ke'er pointed at them and asked, "Aren't they... those fishermen from the island?"

The three Lu brothers hurried over, bowing and scraping in greeting.

Zhang Yi smiled. "You three go rest in the side room for a while. Siya, go pour them some hot water and bring some fruit platters and pastries for them to eat."

Yang Siya nodded with a smile, then elegantly gestured for them to sit for a while in the side room.

The three Lu brothers nodded repeatedly and then walked into the small room used for receiving guests.

Once inside the room, the three of them sat down on the sofa.

Through the huge floor-to-ceiling window, they could still see the beautiful yet icy snowy world outside.

The three of them felt unbearably hot and quickly took off their heavy winter coats.

"This is truly how people should live!" Lu Dahai couldn't help but sigh.

The three of them were extremely careful, only daring to sit on the very edge of the sofa, afraid they might dirty something in Zhang Yi's home.

Rong Lei and Yu Gang also said, "If we could follow Mr. Zhang, that would be just too good!"

Lu Dahai's gaze turned serious.

"What kind of person is Mr. Zhang? He's practically a deity! Wanting to stay by his side, how could it be that simple?"

For them, the current Zhang Yi was indeed like a deity.

His power was so great it exceeded their imagination.

"That's true," Rong Lei nodded. He also felt that being able to enter Zhang Yi's home was already an immense blessing.

As for following Zhang Yi, he didn't even dare to think about it.

Yu Gang, however, said, "But, Brother Lu, you are a superhuman now. It's not impossible for you to have a chance to serve Mr. Zhang."

Lu Dahai took a deep breath and shook his head. "I know my own situation. The gap between me and Mr. Zhang is too vast."

He rubbed his rough hands and said gravely, "I only hope that with my ability, I can make Mr. Zhang take another look at me. Just a casual word from him could make our lives in Tianhai City much better."

As soon as his words fell, the sound of a door opening came from outside.

Yang Siya brought in hot tea, fruit platters, and pastries. Smiling at the three, she said, "Wait here for a little while. Zhang Yi will come see you soon."

The three of them stared at the hot tea and food she placed on the table, their eyes practically glued to it.

Even if they wanted to be reserved, they couldn't tear their eyes away.

After all, for them, being able to eat protein blocks or eat fish until full on a regular day was already quite difficult.

When did they ever get to eat pastries and fruit?

Yang Siya smiled. "Don't be shy, just help yourselves. If it's not enough, I'll go get more!"

She also understood what these three were thinking inside.

However, these things were indeed nothing much for the shelter.

Not to mention that Zhang Yi's own Dimensional Space held a massive stockpile of food.

Even after the Apocalypse, Zhang Yi hadn't forgotten to have Fatty Xu and Old You search large supermarkets.

Those supermarkets and malls buried by the snow were very rich in supplies, all of which they had collected.

The shelter nowadays simply didn't lack conventional supplies.

As for fruits and such, they were grown in their own backyard vegetable garden.

The three Lu brothers stammered their thanks to Yang Siya.

Once Yang Siya left the room and closed the door, the three of them could no longer control themselves. They pounced over, stuffing the food into their mouths.

In the living room.

Zhang Yi returned home with Hua Hua and Lele, and everyone was very happy.

However, the women's attention was completely captured by the anesthetized Totoro.

There was no helping it. That creature was just too adorable, especially when immobile, looking exactly like those oversized plush toys sold in supermarkets.

"Brother Zhang Yi, what exactly is this? Is it a gift you brought back for us?"

Yang Xinxin hugged Totoro, stars practically shining in her eyes.

Totoro clearly wasn't very comfortable with these overly enthusiastic women and kept making threatening whimpers.

"Woo... woo..."

But right now, it was weak and listless. These sounds held no threat at all.

The effects of Compound 3 would last a week. Plus, Zhang Yi had injected it with an anesthetic. During this time, it basically had no ability to move.

Zhang Yi took a sip of hot coffee and smiled. "It's a creature I captured on Star Island. I brought it back to study."

Zhang Yi looked at Zhou Ke'er. "Ke'er, later, extract a blood sample from it to see what kind of creature it really is."

Totoro could survive on Star Island, which was covered in toxic miasma, and it had a special reaction to the source sprites. This made Zhang Yi very curious about it.

He always felt this creature had something unusual about it.

Zhou Ke'er nodded. "Mhm, okay!"

Yang Xinxin reluctantly let go and then came to Zhang Yi, affectionately hugging his arm.

"Brother, this time on Star Island, you must have given them a huge surprise, right?"
