Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies-Chapter 1068: The Era of Great Mutation

Chapter 1068: The Era of Great Mutation

Zhang Yi reached out and pulled Lu Dahai to his feet.

"You're all filthy, go take a bath first. We'll talk about other things after you're clean!"

Zhang Yi led the three of them to the bathroom in the back, then tossed them a set of clean new clothes.

The three of them walked into the bathroom that was over fifty square meters, took a long-awaited, thoroughly satisfying hot shower, and then changed into the brand-new clothes.

Yu Gang and Rong Lei said excitedly to Lu Dahai, "Big brother, we're going to make it big from now on!"

"Following Mr. Zhang, we'll be able to walk sideways across the entire Tianhai City in the future!"

Lu Dahai looked at his two naive brothers. Although he felt joy in his heart, he didn't show too much excitement on his face.

"Mr. Zhang promoted us because I'm a superhuman now, I have that value. But if we don't perform well in the future, he can replace us with others at any time."

"So, we have to work even harder from now on, to show Mr. Zhang our capabilities!"

He took a deep breath and looked up at the bright ceiling.

"I have to consider whether this is my only chance in this lifetime to change my fate!"

Rong Lei and Yu Gang nodded deeply in agreement.

Outside, Zhang Yi called Zhou Ke'er over and said to her, "Later, draw some blood from those guys and run some tests. Check their physical condition, see if the other two have the potential to become superhumans."

Hearing this, Zhou Ke'er understood what Zhang Yi intended.

"You want to see their potential? But currently, we don't have such advanced technical means." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Zhou Ke'er spread her hands helplessly.

Although she was highly skilled in medicine and had considerable research in biology, she wasn't very proficient in the study of the superhuman field.

After all, research into this emerging science often required large organizations to pool their resources for investigation.

"Draw some blood first to check, I'll go ask Deng Shentong in Blizzard City later," Zhang Yi said.

Lu Dahai's potential was definitely above Delta level, with an extremely small probability of being above Epsilon.

Although it was a small chance, for someone Zhang Yi decided to use, he had to have them completely under his control.

Only in this way could he avoid being betrayed in the future.

After Lu Dahai and the other two finished washing up and changed into new clothes, their years of exposure to wind and sun had left their skin dark, a condition difficult to change. They just looked a bit cleaner than when they first arrived at the shelter. S̈

Zhang Yi took them to have blood drawn for testing and undergo simple physical fitness tests.

The three of them didn't dare question anything and obediently complied with everything Zhang Yi asked.

Afterward, Zhang Yi said, "Don't go back to Dawn Rain Base for now. Later, I'll take you to stay at Qingpu Base for a while."

He did this to protect them.

Chen Jingguan's strength was insufficient, and he had always harbored a strong sense of crisis.

Now that Zhang Yi brought Lu Dahai back to the shelter, Chen Jingguan would inevitably become suspicious.

If Lu Dahai and the other two were sent back at this time, it couldn't be ruled out that Chen Jingguan might kill them.

Lu Dahai and the other two naturally obeyed all of Zhang Yi's arrangements.

By this time, the meal at home was almost ready.

Sitting in the living room, Lu Dahai and the other two could smell the enticing aroma wafting over, making their minds wander and their hearts yearn.

Zhang Yi planned to have this meal with his family. Bringing the three of them along would be somewhat awkward.

So, he had Yang Siya and Zhou Haimei set aside a portion of the food and deliver it to the small room for them to eat separately.

The three of them were overjoyed. Today's meal was the most delicious feast they had eaten since the Apocalypse began.

Zhang Yi, meanwhile, sat at the dining table with his family, happily beginning the feast.

Hua Hua and Lele each had their own food bowls.

However, Hua Hua sat at the table eating with Zhang Yi, while Lele only had the right to squat beside the table to eat.

At the dinner table, Zhang Yi told them about what happened on Star Island.

He skimmed over most of the events, but when mentioning the black-armored strange man they encountered later, Zhang Yi elaborated a bit more.

"Everything was within my plans, except for that guy. He was a huge surprise."

Hearing Zhang Yi's account, Yang Xinxin couldn't help but frown slightly.

"This is very strange," she explained to everyone. "There are two conditions for the emergence of powerful superhumans. First, they must possess sufficiently high innate talent themselves. Second, they must obtain enough resources to grow."

"Therefore, this world is not lacking in superhumans with talent, but it is extremely lacking in powerful superhumans."

"Countless people with talent have died in the cold Apocalypse before they could even demonstrate their abilities."

"Up to now, although the exact number of Epsilon-level superhumans existing in Huaxu Kingdom is unknown, estimates put it in the single digits. The Columbus Ocean nation possesses the most advanced biological technology, yet they only successfully cultivated one Cadillus in their fleet."

She voiced her doubts, "Then, that black-armored strange man possesses astonishing combat power exceeding 20,000 points! Star Island is such a weak nation and has experienced a large-scale biological extinction event. How could such an existence appear there?"

Zhang Yi said, "I've considered that question too. The only explanation is that the Divine Source might have some abilities we don't know about."

Yang Xinxin nodded, "Perhaps. But for you, brother, isn't the Divine Source just a key? Relying solely on the Divine Source shouldn't be enough to give someone such powerful strength, right?"

Zhang Yi smiled wryly and spread his hands, "I'm not clear about that! Anyway, the ones who should really be troubled by this are the East Sea Region and the Columbus Ocean Fleet."

Yang Xinxin lowered her head and murmured, "This world holds too many secrets. The appearance of the Divine Source is one huge mystery. The black-armored strange man you mentioned might be another huge mystery."

"I always feel that sooner or later, we will have no choice but to face all of this."

Zhang Yi raised an eyebrow, "Maybe it's just a coincidence? Is it that serious?"

He particularly hated troublesome matters.

But Yang Xinxin said to Zhang Yi very seriously, "Brother, if a person has no long-term worries, they will have immediate troubles. Nowadays, we must consider every possibility."

"After all—the Apocalypse is just the beginning, and it's far from over."

Yang Xinxin's words reminded everyone.

The global ice age was only the beginning of the calamity. A year had passed, and nothing had developed in a positive direction.

Instead, many indescribable disasters had appeared in this world.

In the face of these unknown things, humanity seemed so insignificant.

Only by being extremely cautious, striving to become stronger, and learning more about the unknown could one survive in the Apocalypse.

Zhang Yi poked the rice in his bowl with his chopsticks and said slowly,

"In that case, those guys in Blizzard City can still be of some use. They must possess a lot of information we don't know about."
