Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies-Chapter 1076: A Grand Welcome

Chapter 1076: A Grand Welcome

Zhang Yi raised an eyebrow after hearing Fatty Xu's words and didn't say anything more.

He actually agreed with Fatty Xu's theory.

The difference between Zhang Yi and Fatty Xu, however, was that Zhang Yi believed in the existence of love.

But a long time ago, he had already stopped believing such a thing would appear in his own life.

If not for the arrival of the Apocalypse, he probably wouldn't have had any emotional or physical connection with a woman in his entire life.

As for the feelings born from gathering together due to harsh external circumstances and comforting each other, could they be called love?

It wasn't important, and Zhang Yi didn't really care.

He had always been someone who only considered the results. At the very least, they were living together very comfortably and harmoniously now, and that was enough.

After finishing lunch, Zhang Yi leisurely took Fatty Xu to Blizzard City.

Before setting off, he carefully checked all his weapons and equipment once again.

While White Owl and Thunderbolt couldn't unleash his full current power, the compound bow he obtained from Baldier was quite good.

Additionally, he naturally had to bring his royal cat, Hua Hua.

Fatty Xu asked curiously, "Boss, with your current strength, is there anyone among those rookies in Blizzard City who could be your match? Is it necessary to be this careful?"

Zhang Yi said calmly, "Even if the probability is only one in ten thousand, I must guard against Zhu Zheng turning against me."

He didn't trust anyone.

Fatty Xu was greatly shocked. His expression suddenly turned serious as he held his chin with one hand and muttered to himself, "Right... when I went to Blizzard City for those massages before, could they have secretly done something to me? Damn, the more I think about it, the scarier it gets!"

Fatty Xu shuddered. He felt that some things shouldn't be pondered too deeply. Once you started thinking that way, everything around you seemed full of danger.

"I'll just obediently cling to your thigh from now on, boss!" Fatty Xu said, sidling up to Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi gave him a kick in the butt with annoyance. "Get in the car!"

Fatty Xu drove while Zhang Yi sat in the back seat, with Hua Hua curled up on his lap. Then they headed towards Xiaomiaoshan Subway Station.

Not long after, they boarded the special train arranged by Blizzard City and traveled all the way to Blizzard City.

Actually, for Zhang Yi, using his spatial traversal ability would be much faster.

Now, his spatial traversal range had increased to 3 kilometers. He could cover these few hundred kilometers in just a few minutes.

But he didn't like using his abilities casually.

Because doing so might expose his true capabilities, allowing others to calculate his ability data.

So, Zhang Yi and the others took the underground special train for over an hour to reach Blizzard City.

Zhang Yi wasn't worried about sudden attacks.

All Things Follow Traces, which had fused with Echo of Time, possessed both active and passive abilities.

When he wasn't consciously targeting a specific person or thing, it automatically detected danger for Zhang Yi.

Only when he actively activated the ability could he predict the activity trajectory of a specific person or object within the next two seconds.

"Hiss—"

After the special train arrived at the station, the doors made a familiar steam sound and quickly opened.

Zhang Yi looked outside the doors. The usually quiet and deserted Blizzard City subway station was now densely packed with people.

At a glance, hundreds of people stood there, arranged in row after row. Moreover, decorations were hung everywhere, making the scene look as festive and lively as the New Year.

Behind them, over a dozen banners were held high, with contents that basically read:

"Warmly Welcome Captain Chaos's Triumphant Return from Star Island!"

"Salute to the Great Hero of Huaxu Kingdom, Guardian Deity of the Jiangnan Region, the Supreme Captain of the Celestial Hound Squad, Chaos!"

...

This scene made Zhang Yi's memory blur for a moment.

The last time he saw such a grand spectacle was when he first met Gao Changkong, that guy returning from his expedition against the mutated beast clans at Beiting Lake.

And this time, the scene was far more magnificent than that one.

Mainly because the people who came to welcome him were all the high-level officials of Blizzard City, including the two investigation team captains, Deng Shentong and Linghu Feixue.

As for Lu Huang and Jingwei, one was severely injured and hadn't recovered, while the other had a status similar to a covert guard, unsuitable for appearing publicly, so they didn't show up.

Zhang Yi's old friend Baili Changqing and the members of the Celestial Hound Squad were also conspicuously present here.

A slight smile curled at the corner of Zhang Yi's mouth. He thought to himself: Old Zhu is really thoughtful.

Although he wasn't deeply moved, Old Zhu's sincerity was definitely at its peak.

Behind Zhang Yi, Fatty Xu looked at this grand reception, his jaw dropping in shock. He nervously swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva.

He muttered to himself, "I'm just here for a foot massage and wellness treatment. Do they need to be this grand? It seems the economy in Blizzard City isn't doing too well right now."

With Hua Hua perched on his shoulder, Zhang Yi leisurely stepped out. Fatty Xu hurriedly followed behind him.

Zhu Zheng, wearing a brown military overcoat with his graying hair neatly combed, walked over with a beaming smile.

"Captain Chaos, you've finally arrived! Do you know that all of us have been waiting for the arrival of our great hero!"

Zhang Yi shook hands with Zhu Zheng. True to his military background, Old Zhu's right hand was strong and forceful.

Zhang Yi smiled faintly. "I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. This operation was a result of everyone's concerted efforts. All glory belongs to Blizzard City and the organization. My personal contribution is insignificant."

Zhu Zheng looked at Zhang Yi with a reproachful expression. "Look at you, being modest again!"

At that moment, a group of stunningly beautiful young women ran out from behind, holding bouquets of flowers. Shouting Zhang Yi's name, they rushed over.

These girls were all exceptionally beautiful. A few of the more outstanding ones could even rival Zhou Ke'er and Yang Siya in terms of looks.

However, Zhang Yi quickly understood their identity.

He glanced at Fatty Xu. "It's your turn to step up!"

Fatty Xu's eyes had already glazed over when he saw these beautiful girls.

Seeing Zhang Yi being so righteous, he excitedly snorted two plumes of white steam from his nose, his grin stretching almost to his ears.

He swaggered over. "Heh heh, thank you all for such a warm welcome! Come on, come on, no need to rush! Line up, everyone. Photos are fine, give all the flowers to me!"

Seeing this, Zhu Zheng raised an eyebrow.

According to the intelligence he had received, there were many beautiful women in Zhang Yi's Shelter. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

So he wanted to win Zhang Yi over from this angle.

Therefore, the women selected this time were all formerly famous movie stars or top models.

He hadn't expected Zhang Yi's self-control to be so strong.

His opinion of Zhang Yi rose even higher in his heart, but he also felt quite regretful.

But since the people were already arranged, it wouldn't be bad to build good relations with those around Zhang Yi. So he simply let Fatty Xu have his way.
