Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies

Chapter 355: Yangsheng Base

Outside the Hongyuan Group's materials factory, Zhang Yi drove his vehicle near several modified snow vehicles.

Their arrival had already attracted the attention of the personnel at Yangsheng Base.

As they got closer, five or six people were leaning against their vehicles, aiming their guns at them.

“Stop! This area has already been taken by our Yangsheng Base. Which faction are you from? Go somewhere else!” a man with a long beard shouted.

Zhang Yi remained vigilant, activating his Western Speed ability.

As long as the other party made a move to pull the trigger, he would immediately kill them all!

“Stay in the car and don’t move!”

Zhang Yi could see that the weapons in their hands were all basic firearms, which couldn’t harm his vehicle equipped with Shelter-class bulletproof glass, so he felt safe getting out.

Zhang Yi raised his hands gently and said to the people in front of him, “Don’t misunderstand, I mean no harm. I have no objections to you taking this factory first.”

“I just need some materials, and I hope you can make it convenient for me.”

However, when the Yangsheng Base personnel saw his Western Mountain Base-style combat uniform, their expressions grew much more serious.

“Wasn’t it said that the Western Mountain Base had been destroyed?”

“Maybe it’s a remnant; there were so many people at the Western Mountain Base, they couldn’t have all died, right?”

“Thank goodness it’s not from one of the other bases; otherwise, we’d have a bit of a headache.”

“What powerful characters could possibly survive from a destroyed Western Mountain Base?”

“However… that vehicle of his is quite impressive.”

Some had already set their sights on Zhang Yi’s snow vehicle.

The ones they were driving were all knockoffs, with poor performance, slow speed, and high fuel consumption.

If Zhang Yi’s vehicle was a Rolls Royce, their vehicles could only be considered a blend of Mercedes and Santana.

A cautious person whispered, “Don’t act recklessly! Do you really think a person who can drive such a good car at a time like this is just an ordinary character?” �

His eyes were filled with apprehension. “Especially when facing so many of us, he shows no fear at all. This person is definitely not easy to deal with! Notify the captain to come over!”

Immediately, someone contacted the captain inside the factory via the communicator.

At the same time, someone shouted at Zhang Yi, “Let’s discuss this when our captain arrives!”

Zhang Yi wore a relaxed smile, but he was very cautious inside.

He looked toward the factory; someone was entering through the skylight using the same method he had before.

“Alright, I can wait,” Zhang Yi said, smiling as he took two steps back, keeping his hands in the line of sight of the others.

Of course, if he really wanted to kill, he didn’t necessarily need a gun.

It was best if he could negotiate with these people; Zhang Yi also didn’t want to make enemies of both Chaoyu and Yangsheng.

After a while, a few people crawled out from the factory.

Leading them was a man with a scruffy black beard.

His combat uniform was also white, but there was a red flame emblem on his shoulder.

This indicated that he was a captain-level figure at Yangsheng Base.

“Even if he’s not a superhuman, he’s definitely a formidable character!” Zhang Yi made a judgment immediately.

The captain of Yangsheng Base, Gao Yuan, saw Zhang Yi, his gaze sharp like that of a hawk.

In the apocalypse, any unfamiliar person you encounter could be an enemy; no one dared to be careless.

However, Gao Yuan saw only one vehicle, two people, and a cat, and he felt somewhat relieved as he was accompanied by a dozen or so subordinates.

“What is your position in the Western Mountain Base?” Gao Yuan asked coldly, while sizing up Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi’s lips curled slightly, “Captain of the Special Forces Team at the Western Mountain Base, Zhang Beihai!”

Zhang Yi didn’t take off his mask, and the other party didn’t know his appearance.

Currently, using the name of the Western Mountain Base was much better than exposing his true identity.

Moreover, the other side only knew that the Western Mountain Base’s stronghold had been destroyed but couldn’t judge whether any remnants of the forces remained.

As the strongest armed force among the Western Mountain Bases, other bases wouldn’t be able to act carelessly towards it.

Sure enough, when Gao Yuan heard Zhang Yi's self-introduction, his expression became more serious.

“So it’s really the captain of the Western Mountain Base! No wonder you dare to come here with only one person.”

“What, are you here to drive us away?”

Gao Yuan thought Zhang Yi had come to expel him, and his demeanor became somewhat unfriendly.

“Don’t say I didn’t warn you, the headquarters of the Western Mountain Base has been shattered. Your remaining forces are not enough to compete with our Yangsheng Base!”

“So, don’t have any dangerous ideas!”

Gao Yuan had already believed what Zhang Yi said.

After all, that combat uniform was standardized by the government at the time, and only they from the Western Mountain Base had it.

It would be too difficult for outsiders to replicate it; no one could imagine who would have such conditions in the apocalypse.

Seeing that the other party believed his fabricated lie, Zhang Yi calmly said, “It’s just a materials factory; if the friends from Yangsheng Base like it, you can take as much as you can!”

“However, we also need to take away some materials now. I hope you won’t obstruct us!”

After hearing Zhang Yi's words, Gao Yuan's expression was uncertain.

They were ordered to occupy some important resource locations in the Lujiang District, but they hadn’t expected to encounter remnants of the Western Mountain Base.

However, Zhang Yi was right; with such a large factory, it would be too difficult to monopolize it.

They didn’t even need so many building materials.

After pondering for a moment, Gao Yuan said to Zhang Yi, “Alright. But I’ll only give you half an hour!”

Zhang Yi smiled.

It was best if they could come to an agreement; he didn’t want to have a conflict with the people on the other side.

After all, he wasn’t fond of slaughtering.

Zhang Yi waved to the vehicle behind him, signaling Lu Keran to get down and come with him.

Finding materials required Lu Keran’s identification, and Zhang Yi had to keep her by his side to ensure safety.

Gao Yuan made a few gestures to his subordinates, who understood and cleared a path for Zhang Yi.

Lu Keran was both nervous and excited as she hurried to Zhang Yi’s side.

For safety reasons, Zhang Yi first pulled her into his arms. This sudden warmth made Lu Keran’s heart race, and even in the freezing minus sixty degrees, her cheeks flushed.

“Let’s go.”

Zhang Yi calmly said to Lu Keran.

“But, what about our car? Aren’t we going to put it away?”

Lu Keran was somewhat worried about that snow vehicle, fearing it would be taken by the people of Yangsheng Base.

“It’s fine, they can’t take it.”

Zhang Yi whispered, providing no further explanation.

He would never easily use his abilities in front of others.

A superhuman’s ability was his strong suit, but it also contained his vulnerabilities—ever since he killed Ling Feng, this had become a rule in his heart.

Lu Keran bit her lip and obediently followed Zhang Yi toward the factory.

Hua Hua trotted behind the two, elegantly following in Zhang Yi's footsteps.

Even while walking in extreme cold, it seemed unaffected.

Just as Zhang Yi and Lu Keran slowly walked toward the factory.

Behind them, Gao Yuan’s narrowed eyes suddenly widened.

His right hand moved with invisible speed into his pocket and then pulled the trigger at Zhang Yi’s back!
