Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies-Chapter 1069: Subtle Changes

After finishing the meal, Zhang Yi returned to his room to rest. Yang Xinxin, Zhou Ke'er, and the others came to Zhang Yi's room. Everyone took off their shoes and socks and sat in a circle on the rug.

The main purpose was to report to Zhang Yi about some recent movements in Tianhai City.

Zhang Yi was usually quite lazy and couldn't be bothered to handle affairs of the other bases.

However, Yang Xinxin and the others couldn't stay idle.

Since they were usually at home, in order to demonstrate their abilities, they helped Zhang Yi manage the three major bases.

Zhang Yi didn't interfere with these matters either, letting them handle things as long as they didn't meddle too much.

After all, the Shelter didn't need them to provide any resources.

However, after hearing Yang Xinxin's words, even Zhang Yi couldn't help but sit up straight, sighing repeatedly.

It turned out that during this period, not only was Zhang Yi working hard, but everyone else was also striving with all their might to improve and survive.

After solving the basic survival problems, the three major bases were all trying hard to restore order and improve living conditions.

"Over at Qingpu Base, because of Li Jian's presence, their agriculture has developed very quickly. They have already established a huge underground farm and can produce crops periodically."

"These crops can already meet the basic needs of Qingpu Base."

Hearing the name Li Jian, Zhang Yi rubbed his chin.

"Old Li... that's a name I haven't heard in a long time."

An ability that once seemed not very useful in Zhang Yi's eyes had unexpectedly played a significant role now.

He couldn't help but think that if he could help him enhance his ability, perhaps in the future, this guy alone could solve the food crisis for many people.

After all, Zhang Yi had quite a few seeds in his possession.

The land was still fertile, it was just frozen a few meters underground.

The issue of sunlight could also be solved using ultraviolet lamps.

"Although he isn't a combat-type superhuman, his ability has a somewhat top-tier flavor among life-support types."

Zhang Yi's current feeling was a bit strange, quite like playing a post-apocalyptic base-building game, with Li Jian being that cheat code that can provide crops.

However, he didn't have that much inclination to care about the lives of over ten thousand people in the entire Tianhai City.

Once he started getting involved, he wouldn't be able to extricate himself later; he wouldn't go looking for trouble.

"Let them decide how they want to develop over there; we won't interfere. But... occasionally calling Li Jian over to help raise some flowers and farm the land isn't bad either."

Zhang Yi said with a smile.

Yang Siya was wearing a pink set of pajamas, sitting on the floor with her legs crossed, her fair and tender little feet slightly curled. She nodded happily and said:

"I think so too. Having some flowers and plants at home adds a nice touch to the scenery."

"And eating canned food every day, if we could get some fresh vegetables, that would be really great!"

Zhang Yi said to Yang Xinxin, "Xinxin, I'll leave this matter to you to arrange."

"Perfect timing, I'll go over to their place soon to take a look around. To prevent them from stirring up any trouble."

After resting, Zhang Yi went to the living room and found Lele, who was lying on the floor resting.

He reached out and tugged the dog's ear, smiling as he said, "Hey, time to go back!"

Lele quickly stood up, "Woof!"

Zhang Yi asked, "Do you want to go back, or stay here?"

Although Lele's combat ability was relatively average, it possessed an extremely keen sense of smell, making it very suitable for reconnaissance on the battlefield.

Considering this point, Zhang Yi still hoped to keep it at home.

However, even if it didn't want to stay at the Shelter, Zhang Yi could still borrow it every time he went out.

But having both a cat and a dog at home just felt more fun.

Yet Lele said with unwavering determination, "Boss, I still want to go back. My master is still waiting for me at home!"

Although the living conditions at Zhang Yi's place were good, a dog's loyalty to its master wouldn't change because of these things.

Zhang Yi felt quite emotional; this was also why he liked cats and dogs.

More often than not, they were more trustworthy than people.

"Alright then, I'll send you back right now!"

Zhang Yi called over the three Lu brothers, then called for Lele to come along, planning to make a trip to Qingpu Base.

Firstly, to hand the three men over to Xing Tian's care, and secondly, to see how their development was going.

Opening the Dimensional Gate, it didn't take long for them to traverse over a hundred kilometers, arriving at Qingpu Base located in the northwest direction of Tianhai City.

Most of the furnaces in this huge steel mill had already shut down by now.

After all, the resources that could be used as fuel were pretty much burned up.

The furnaces that were still burning were basically used for heating.

When Zhang Yi and the others arrived at Qingpu Base, Lele immediately excitedly lifted its head and barked twice, "Woof! Woof!"

The people at Qingpu Base saw Zhang Yi and the others and hurried over eagerly.

"Mr. Zhang!"

"Quick, go notify the boss, Mr. Zhang is here!"

Zhang Yi strode into Qingpu Base. Compared to the last time he came, there had been significant changes here.

There wasn't much accumulated snow inside the factory buildings, and there was only a thin layer on the ground. It was clear that it was carefully swept every day.

The workers inside wore thick clothes, moving between various factory buildings in an orderly manner.

"Has this kid Xing Tian learned about business management now?"

Zhang Yi couldn't help but feel a bit surprised.

Not long after, Xing Tian hurried over with a few people.

"Old Zhang, you're back! Welcome, welcome!"

Xing Tian shouted to the people around, "Warmly welcome the leader's inspection, everyone applaud!"

The workers around were very honest and simple, using the old way of receiving higher-ups, clapping vigorously to welcome Zhang Yi. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Zhang Yi smiled and shook his head.

"I'm returning Lele to you. It made quite a contribution during this operation."

Lele ran up to Xing Tian, affectionately rubbing against his head.

Xing Tian patted the dog's head somewhat reproachfully, "Useless thing, you didn't even know how to seize such a good opportunity. If you followed Old Zhang, wouldn't you be eating and drinking the good stuff every day in the future?"

Lele made a cooing, coquettish-like whimper in its mouth.

"Really, what can I do with you."

Although Xing Tian said this, he was actually very happy inside, which could be seen from the expression on his face.

Zhang Yi asked, "Old Xing, you've been managing things quite well recently! Did you have some expert guidance?"

Note: Xing Tian, originally named Xing Weinan.

Xing Tian laughed, "Really, nothing can escape your eyes. That's right, I do have an expert here."

He turned to look at his side.

A somewhat short man walked over. He was wrapped in thick clothes and also wore a scarf over his face.

When he walked up to Zhang Yi, he took off the scarf and smiled:

"Mr. Zhang, long time no see!"

Seeing him, Zhang Yi immediately understood everything.

"Ma Wenzheng! So it's you!"
