Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies-Chapter 1136: Enemies

Chapter 1136: Enemies

Li Changgong listened to Jiang Han's words, the corner of his mouth curling into a cold arc.

"The Jiangnan Region can only send him. Otherwise, they really have no one else worth mentioning!"

Jiang Han said in a low voice, "Big Brother, are you really going to fight him?"

Li Changgong rested his hand on his long saber, saying coldly, "He caused Brother Lin's death and nearly got you killed too."

"A despicable, shameless guy like that, I absolutely cannot let him off!"

"As long as he shows up here today, I will definitely teach him a harsh lesson!"

The "Brother Lin" Li Changgong referred to was none other than Baihu, one of the Four Spirits of the Eastern Sea. His real name was Lin Tianchi.

In the military, those who rise to high positions are almost always from prominent backgrounds.

If not for the arrival of the Apocalypse, which allowed ordinary people to gain powerful strength through mutation, people like Zhang Yi and Xuanwu, commoners, would likely have had no chance to rise to prominence.

If you have great talent and also possess a deep, influential background, your chances of rising above others are millions of times greater than an ordinary person's.

Ordinary geniuses are easily buried, while geniuses with connections are easily discovered.

Li Changgong, Jiang Han, and Lin Tianchi had known each other since childhood due to their fathers' connections, and their relationship was profound.

When they grew up, the three followed their fathers' arrangements and joined the military.

Li Changgong went to the great Northwest, while Jiang Han and Lin Tianchi went to the East Sea Region and joined the navy.

Though these three were not biological siblings, the bond they cultivated growing up together in a large compound made them closer than real siblings.

The Battle of Star Island caused heavy losses for both major regions and the Colombian Navy, with over half of the superhumans perishing!

Baihu also died in that brutal war.

After Li Changgong received this news, he placed all the blame on Zhang Yi.

If not for considering the stability of the Huaxu Kingdom, he might have rushed to Tianhai City back then to settle the score with Zhang Yi.

Now, finally having this chance to meet Zhang Yi, and in Shengjing, a region far from Tianhai City.

He certainly wouldn't miss this opportunity to avenge his brother and sister!

Jiang Han frowned slightly and said to Li Changgong, "Big Brother, both you and that Chaos guy are at the Epsilon level, pillars of the Huaxu Kingdom now. Conflict between you is not good for the nation."

Li Changgong sneered coldly, "Don't worry, I know my limits. I won't kill him, but I'll make sure he suffers some hardship and learns a lesson!"

He tightened his grip on the saber hilt, his gaze sharp as lightning.

"As a soldier, I want him to know that those who betray their allies must pay a heavy price!"

"This time is just a warning. If there's a next time, I will definitely kill him with my own hands!"

Jiang Han thought for a moment, then suddenly said in a low voice, "But... he's not a soldier."

Li Changgong was slightly taken aback, then said coldly, "Times are tough, everyone is a soldier. How is he not one?"

Jiang Han hadn't expected that line of reasoning, but since Li Changgong said it, it must be correct.

Shang Daowen vaguely overheard their conversation from a distance.

The two weren't hiding it from him. Although Shang Daowen disliked eavesdropping, the wind carried a little to him.

"Ahem, Gouchen, Shengjing invited you here this time to discuss important matters. So, I hope you'll give Shengjing some face during this period and not take action against anyone."

"Otherwise, as the host, we cannot just stand by and do nothing."

Shang Daowen said with a smile, polite yet not lacking in authority.

Li Changgong narrowed his eyes and looked at him.

"If I challenge him, and he accepts, then that should be acceptable, right?"

Shang Daowen smiled and nodded, "If both parties agree, we naturally have no objections."

"Good."

Li Changgong nodded.

Once Zhang Yi arrived, he naturally had a way to make Zhang Yi fight him.

"I'll wait right here for him to come!"

As Li Changgong's words fell, his subordinates moved tables, chairs, and a canopy umbrella from the plane, setting them up right there at the airport.

Li Changgong called for Zhuque to sit down. One of his female officers actually took out a heating stove on the spot and began warming a pot of Fenjiu liquor from the great Northwest.

"Sir Shang, come sit for a while! There'll be a good show to watch later."

Li Changgong said to Shang Daowen.

Shang Daowen smiled faintly, "I'll pass. However, Mr. Gouchen, please call me [Ksitigarbha]."

Li Changgong let out a somewhat disdainful snort.

"You guys really are sticklers for formalities. Even though you're already Epsilon-level, you still cling to so many damn rules."

The two were not strangers; both had moved in the capital's circles and had interacted frequently.

Shang Daowen smiled profoundly, "Without rules, there is no order. I think it's better to understand the rules. To avoid any... accidents."

As he said this, his gaze drifted into the distance.

To the north of Shengjing, the grand hall in the central area seemed to have something watching over the entire Shengjing.

...

Li Changgong and his group didn't have to wait long.

Zhang Yi's party soon arrived in Shengjing. The Fu-37, this latest model of jet aircraft, was indeed impressive.

It had no wings, but its flying speed was astonishingly fast, covering over a thousand kilometers in just half an hour.

Arriving in the Northern Regions, Zhang Yi lifted his head from Zhou Ke'er's lap and looked out the window.

Through the window, he could see this vast and ancient imperial city.

The plane soon landed at the airport.

Zhang Yi didn't consider other issues, just called for everyone to follow him off the plane.

Everyone was full of anticipation. After all, since the Apocalypse, traveling to the distant Northern Regions for leisure wasn't easy.

But Zhou Ke'er still carefully reminded everyone not to just think about having fun.

After all, the main purpose this time was to accompany Zhang Yi to the meeting.

No one knew exactly what the Shengjing Region was like, so they mustn't cause any trouble.

Deng Shentong walked over, "Captain Chaos, let's go!"

Zhang Yi nodded lazily, "Let's go."

The cabin door opened. They walked down the airstairs and out of the cabin. Zhang Yi immediately felt countless gazes converge on him.

Several of those gazes were particularly sharp, instantly catching Zhang Yi's attention.

An elegant-looking officer, leading a group of Dragon's Roar Guards, stood smiling in front of the plane, waiting for them.

However, not far away, two other gazes drew Zhang Yi's attention even more.

In such cold weather, if anyone set up tables and chairs near the vast airport, leisurely drinking, it would naturally be very eye-catching.

Zhang Yi saw Jiang Han, and also the man beside her, radiating an aura of battle and killing.

And Li Changgong glanced back at Zhang Yi.

An overwhelming, domineering aura!

That was Zhang Yi's most immediate impression. That man was like an unsheathed long saber, giving off a feeling of sharp, exposed edge, not easy to approach.

His gaze made Zhang Yi very uncomfortable.

It wasn't a general scrutinizing look, but one with clear hostility, even a trace of disdain.

"Hmm? Who is he?"

Zhang Yi asked Deng Shentong beside him.

Deng Shentong was also momentarily stunned upon seeing Li Changgong, then said, "Why is he here?"

Under Zhang Yi's puzzled gaze, Deng Shentong briefly introduced him.

"He is the King of the Northwest, Li Changgong, the number one powerhouse of the Northwest Region, at the Epsilon level. He is also the Supreme Commander of the Northwest Region!"

"I originally thought that, as the Supreme Commander, he would decline this gathering. But I never expected he would come personally."

"It seems this gathering is indeed not simple."
