Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies Chapter 1367: Batu’s Confession

After Lancelot and the others left, Batu breathed a sigh of relief.

He even smiled cheerfully and greeted Zhang Yi and the others.

“Well, we meet again. Don’t be nervous, I can’t run away now. After all, I’m not stupid enough to die in front of an Epsilon.”

Zhang Yi stared at him, slowly narrowing his eyes, a dazzling smile spreading across his face.

For some reason, seeing that strange grin on Zhang Yi’s face made a sliver of unease rise in Batu’s heart.

He was someone who loved to play games, who enjoyed manipulating others with his hands.

You could see that from his ability.

For a person like him, the worst thing was to fail at playing others and instead become someone else’s plaything.

“Um… how about we take a look around nearby? This place is pretty big.”

They had arrived earlier and had surely gone ahead to explore the surroundings.

But Zhang Yi was not in a hurry at all.

With such a valuable informant right here, not making full use of him would be a waste.

“Xinxin, pry his mouth open.”

Zhang Yi spoke first.

Batu still didn’t know what falling into Zhang Yi’s hands meant.

Yang Xinxin immediately summoned Desire Angel, a red arrow aimed at Batu.

Batu’s face changed instantly. Although he did not fully understand Yang Xinxin’s ability,

he had seen everything that happened in the Asylum and knew this power was a rule-based control skill.

“Wait, Mr. Chaos, wait!”

Zhang Yi didn’t care, smiling as he watched Desire Angel’s Desire Arrow shoot into Batu’s body.

A moment later, hearts of adoration flooded Batu’s eyes.

“Kneel for me!”

Yang Xinxin walked over and said coldly.

Batu knelt like a dog on the ground, looking up at Yang Xinxin.

Zhang Yi said, “Make him tell us everything about their team.”

“The personnel, their powers, and why they came here.”

“Also, what they’ve gone through these past two years.”

Zhang Yi wasn’t eager to rush into the Demon Abyss.

If Gao Changkong had left Batu behind to trap them, that would have been his greatest mistake.

Because Gao Changkong did not know someone like Yang Xinxin existed beside Zhang Yi.

Any person captured by Zhang Yi would expose the intelligence of their entire team.

Yang Xinxin looked down coldly at Batu. “Have you heard me? Tell us every piece of information you know, down to the last detail!”

Batu’s gaze was infatuated. “Yes, my queen!”

Zhang Yi took out several chairs. The others sat while Batu knelt, and he began to slowly recount everything about Gao Changkong’s team.

Now, aside from Gao Changkong, there were three members in his team.

Batu, now codenamed Tushita Heaven, a spatial-type superhuman, ability codename Size-and-Shape Wish.

Superhuman ability index: 9800 points.

He could compress or expand space; his main combat style was setting traps to confine enemies.

Or he could make the specially made dice in his hand grow or shrink and unexpectedly attack others.

So on the battlefield he mainly played a support role, not front-line fighting.

But if his ability was used well, it could achieve startling effects.

For example, this time, if Zhang Yi’s team hadn’t had a super strategist like Yang Xinxin, the two powerful superhuman teams would have been trapped for at least seven or eight hours, maybe a whole day.

The second member was Gu Man.

She was an old acquaintance, Gao Changkong’s girlfriend.

Myth codename: Farewell Heaven, an emission-type superhuman, ability codename Eternal Barrier.

Superhuman ability index: 9700 points.

The third was Chen Xiaozheng.

This was the superhuman who had once mimicked Gao Changkong and the others to trick Zhu Zheng.

Myth codename: Mutable Heaven, ability: Chameleon.

Superhuman ability index: 9600 points.

He could perfectly mimic anything, and if he mimicked a superhuman, he could obtain seventy percent of that target’s abilities within the scope of his approximation.

Hearing this, Zhang Yi couldn’t help feeling a little surprised.

Although Gao Changkong only had three people around him, each one was extremely formidable.

There was no way around it. With Gao Changkong’s reincarnation-prediction ability, he could activate his power to help those around him quickly find the most suitable path.

“I remember when you left, the team had seven or eight people, right?” Zhang Yi asked. “Where are they now?”

At the question, Batu lowered his eyelids. “They’re all dead.”

“After leaving the Huaxu Kingdom, we survived by squeezing through the cracks. To grow stronger and find Zhu Zheng to take revenge sooner, we went through many life-and-death ordeals. Not everyone could survive.”

Zhang Yi exhaled. “I thought after joining Bharata you guys would be living it up.”

Batu snorted. “It’s not as simple as you think. Bharata’s country is strictly hierarchical. They have an entrenched caste system—what chance do outsiders like us have?”

“If we hadn’t been powerful, we wouldn’t have survived in that country. Even now, though our strength is considerable, we’re still suppressed everywhere.”

Zhang Yi felt no sympathy for them.

“The road you chose is your own; you have to walk it, even through tears.”

Mentioning this reminded Zhang Yi of something else.

“By the way, there’s one thing I’ve never figured out. How did Gao Changkong escape from Houtu’s Hell’s Guillotine?”

He still remembered the first time he saw Hell’s Guillotine, the kind of shock it dealt to the spirit that Zhang Yi could never forget.

Even today, with Zhang Yi an elite superhuman of 18000 ability index,

just thinking about that incomprehensible power made him uneasy.

Batu explained, “The captain told us about this before. Rule-based abilities must have a triggering medium. Since we were preparing to overthrow Zhu Zheng, we had to prepare everything.”

“After investigation, we found that the region sent every captain’s blood—except Deng Shentong’s—to Shengjing.”

“At that time the captains were the region’s strongest and hardest-to-control forces. Zhu Zheng thought to use Shengjing’s superhumans to control the captains.”

Zhang Yi nodded in comprehension.

“So you secretly replaced the blood samples, right?”

Batu said, “That was not difficult for us.”

Of course it wasn’t difficult.

Because when Gao Changkong launched the rebellion, many Blizzard City factions were secretly involved.

“Another question, how did Gao Changkong reach Epsilon?”

Zhang Yi fixed his gaze on Batu and asked the question he was most curious about.
