Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies

Chapter 354: Invasion

“Don’t worry, I also really hate those guys. I absolutely won’t let them disturb our comfortable lives!”

“Let those bastards live across the river. With their self-sufficiency skills, it’s only a matter of time before they starve or freeze to death.”

“And who knows, maybe one day when we clash with other forces, they might have an accident!”

Zhang Yi shrugged, “Of course, I promised Liang Yue that I wouldn’t touch them, so it all depends on their luck.”

Lu Keran felt pleased to know Zhang Yi’s attitude.

However, she leaned closer with some concern, “Big brother, Teacher Liang is a very soft-hearted woman! What if they run into danger and Teacher Liang brings them to the Shelter?”

Zhang Yi laughed dismissively.

“It’s the apocalypse now; lives are as worthless as grass. It’s perfectly normal for anyone to die.”

“However, if I can’t do it, she should be able to understand.”

Saying this, Zhang Yi suddenly pinched Lu Keran's nose.

“Then it will depend on how you and Yang Xinxin perform!”

“Your Teacher Liang loves her students very much! If I can’t convince her, you two just need to work a bit harder!”

Lu Keran had a small face, and her nose was tiny, making it nice to pinch.

Her face turned slightly red, “I understand what you mean, big brother! You want me and Xinxin to brainwash Teacher Liang, right?”

A glimmer of amusement flashed in Zhang Yi’s eyes.

A stubborn woman like Liang Yue sought a spiritual refuge in the apocalypse; she needed to protect others to prove her own worth.

And this spiritual refuge was placed on her students.

Perhaps she didn’t love her students as much as she wanted to prove that her existence was meaningful and that she was needed.

“Compared to those unfortunate kids in Xu Family Town, you and Xinxin are undoubtedly favored by Liang Yue.”

“So how to please the teacher and make her love you more doesn’t need me to say much, right?”

Lu Keran certainly understood Zhang Yi’s meaning.

Girls were always adept at acting cute and charming, regardless of their age.

Outside, the snowstorm continued. As February approached, the temperature gradually rose a little but was still cold enough to be deadly.

Lu Keran looked at the desolate white land outside and couldn’t help but sigh.

“The Shelter is like paradise, while the outside is hell!”

“It would be better if no one came to disturb us.”

She muttered softly.

Zhang Yi blinked, and couldn’t help but think about that large force, feeling slightly worried.

“I hope we won’t have any conflicts with them before we finish the defensive construction at the Shelter!”

He had already killed people from Chaoyu Base.

This matter was likely hard to conceal since the Followers of the Snow God had witnessed it.

He could only hope that the timing of any conflicts would be delayed.

“As long as I’m well-prepared, I wouldn’t fear even if two Chaoyu Bases attacked me together!”

Zhang Yi thought confidently.

After defeating West Hill Base and obtaining all their stockpiled weapons, Zhang Yi’s strength was no longer what it used to be.

However, as the saying goes, what you fear will come.

Zhang Yi was currently trying to avoid contact with other forces.

But when he drove to Hongyuan Group’s factory, he saw three vehicles parked in the snow from a distance.

“Vehicles?”

Zhang Yi’s first reaction was to park the car far away.

Then he took out binoculars and looked in that direction.

What he saw confirmed his suspicions: three oddly shaped vehicles.

Those three vehicles should not be considered snow vehicles but rather modified off-road vehicles turned into battle cars.

In addition to the steel plates and machine guns installed on the body, they also had tracks and skis added below.

However, the steel plates appeared to be thin, seemingly to reduce weight.

“These things don’t seem right. Can they even run?” Zhang Yi wondered.

Lu Keran curiously leaned over, “Big brother, what do you see?”

Zhang Yi handed her the binoculars so she could take a look for herself.

After Lu Keran glanced through, she couldn’t help but start to rant.

“What the heck is this? It looks so messed up; it almost makes me want to gouge my eyes out!”

Zhang Yi leaned back in his seat, the Dimensional Gate opening directly ahead to prevent any surprise gunfire.

He sighed, “I still underestimated their efficiency. These guys have already invaded from the border towards West Hill Base’s territory.”

The destruction of West Hill Base had already been discovered by other forces.

They would definitely want to come and take a slice of this big pie.

Within the Lu River district, the most valuable assets were the material factories and machinery equipment plants.

Zhang Yi hesitated.

He didn’t want to engage with any forces at the moment.

However, he urgently needed to repair the Shelter.

Thus, he had to go over and find the materials he needed.

“Should I kill them?”

Zhang Yi was conflicted.

At present, he didn’t know who had come or what their strength was.

Striking without understanding wouldn’t align with his usual style.

Meanwhile, Lu Keran excitedly said, “Big brother, the cost-performance ratio of these modified junk is too low! Although they barely run on snow, their top speed can’t exceed 20 kilometers per hour.” �

“Plus, the modifications are too crude, so their fuel consumption is several times that of a snow vehicle.”

“Wow! This means they really are wasteful. They sent out three vehicles at once, which are practically three fuel guzzlers!”

An idea suddenly flashed in Zhang Yi's mind.

“Wait! You said these vehicles consume a lot of fuel, right?”

Lu Keran put down the binoculars, looking disdainful. “Yeah, these off-road vehicles weigh much more than snow vehicles. After being modified, they increased their weight. With such rough modifications, their fuel consumption is at least five times that of our vehicle!”

A gleam of brilliance flickered in Zhang Yi’s eyes.

“Initially, West Hill Base wouldn’t even use snow vehicles because gasoline was very hard to obtain. But these guys are so extravagant, meaning only one force can afford this!”

Among the Western forces, the one controlling the Tianhai City Baofeng Oil Refinery was Yangsheng Base!

“Is it them? Yangsheng Base is more than 200 kilometers away, almost across the entire Tianhai City.”

“I didn’t expect them to come; they really are eager!”

“However, since they control the oil refinery, with ample energy, it indeed makes sense for them to waste like this.”

Zhang Yi confirmed the identity of these people and thought about what to do next.

Since they were already here, it wouldn’t make sense to go back empty-handed.

He planned to talk to these people. If he could peacefully take away the materials he needed, that would be the best outcome.

If he couldn’t persuade them, he would have to resort to force!

“Keran, a conflict might happen soon. Get yourself mentally prepared!”

Zhang Yi’s gaze turned cold as he looked ahead, then drove the snow vehicle forward.

Lu Keran swallowed, her eyes filled with excitement.

To be honest, she was very happy!

Because this might be her first time seeing Zhang Yi in action!
