Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies Chapter 1371: Flower
After Zhang Yi killed those people, he planned to leave quickly and find a place to hide first.
Anyway, after the Lord of the Charnel Ground and his group arrived at the Tri-Eyed Clan's kingdom, they would definitely take some action.
Moreover, unlike Zhang Yi, they didn't have spatial abilities to carry large numbers of people.
Their group was too large and was bound to be discovered by the Tri-Eyed Clan. When that happened, let them probe the Tri-Eyed Clan's depths first, and then Zhang Yi would act according to the situation.
Right now, the superiority of spatial-type superhumans was fully demonstrated.
He carried a massive amount of supplies, so he didn't need to worry about food and drink.
As for a place to rest, that was even simpler.
In the kingdom of giants, he could just find any rat hole to hide in. After all, even if they tried to search, it would be difficult for them to find where Zhang Yi was.
Zhang Yi turned around and was about to leave when suddenly he felt a scorching gaze fixed on him.
"Hmm?"Zhang Yi frowned, flipping the Holy Judgment in his hand as it gleamed with a chilling cold light.
"Who?"
He looked toward the direction of the gaze.
From behind a pile of trash, a small head popped out.
It was a girl about fourteen or fifteen years old, wrapped in a tattered brown cloth, with messy hair and strangely proportioned features.
From Zhang Yi's aesthetic perspective, she was undoubtedly odd-looking. Her facial features were all very small—small eyes, small nose, a small mouth, yet she had extremely thick lips that looked almost abnormally swollen, making her face appear rather imbalanced.
Zhang Yi thought that if these people were the descendants of slaves sacrificed by the ancient Demon Kingdom, it would be perfectly normal for them to have mutated after thousands of years of living in the underground world, adapting to the environment.
His first instinct was to kill her.
After all, she had seen him kill those two Tri-Eyed Clan youths.
But then, he immediately dismissed that thought.
After all, humans here were just livestock, a species that could be eaten.
This girl had no reason to report his situation to the Tri-Eyed Clan. Even if she did, the Tri-Eyed Clan might not listen.
Most importantly, he could leave right now if he wanted, and the Tri-Eyed Clan wouldn't be able to catch him anyway.
So Zhang Yi decided to ignore her and leave directly.
But just then, the girl looked at him, then at the bodies of the Tri-Eyed Clan youths on the ground, her eyes filled with admiration. She ran out from behind the trash heap and said something to Zhang Yi in a jumble of gibberish.
The Smart System translated.
"She said, you are so incredible, you actually dared to kill Tri-Eyed Clan people!"
Zhang Yi initially didn't want to respond, but suddenly an idea struck him.
He had just arrived here and needed to gather information about the local situation. He couldn't communicate with the Tri-Eyed Clan, but he could understand the local humans' speech.
So he looked at the little girl and was about to say something when suddenly a commotion of shouting and panicked crowds erupted behind him.
Then, Zhang Yi heard familiar gunfire. Through his communication device, he actually received voices from other human soldiers.
"Is there anyone nearby? Come and support us! We're being chased by these Tri-Eyed scumbags!"
Zhang Yi immediately understood what was happening.
It must have been other teams of superhumans who had gotten into conflict with the locals.
Imagine if one day you found a group of fully armed wild cats on the street—wouldn't you feel panicked too?
When that happened, the relevant authorities would definitely mobilize to surround and capture them.
More likely, they had witnessed the miserable state of humans here and were shocked that the "wild cats" had attacked humans.
Then came the hunt!
Zhang Yi frowned, finding it troublesome.
He couldn't go help these people now, because he didn't want to alert the Tri-Eyed Clan's experts.
He never acted rashly until he understood the opponent's strength.
At that moment, the little girl walked over and reached out to grab Zhang Yi's arm.
"Shua!"
Zhang Yi quickly stepped back several paces, not letting her get close.
The girl froze for a moment, then seemed to realize something. She frantically gestured to Zhang Yi and said:
"The Tri-Eyed Clan is capturing humans. Let me take you to hide."
She looked at the equipment on Zhang Yi and seemed to realize that these humans were different from her companions.
Zhang Yi was also curious about how humans survived in the City of Giants. As livestock, did they have to hide like rats in the gutter?
He nodded and then followed the girl as she ran forward.
In the giants' city, they truly were as small as rats.
The girl led him through dark alleys, crossed several stinking ditches, and finally took him into a large hole in a wall.
To Zhang Yi, it looked big, but proportionally speaking, it was essentially a rat hole.
Zhang Yi wasn't quite used to the lighting inside, so he said to the Smart System, "Switch to night vision mode."
"Understood. Already adapting to the surrounding environment, adjusting lighting."
Soon, Zhang Yi's field of vision opened up, and everything around became clearly visible.
This place looked like a cave, probably dug beneath some building. The girl led him forward, and the surrounding passages branched out in all directions, clearly more than one path.
He could tell she was very cautious.
Not long after, Zhang Yi followed her to the end of the cave.
This was an empty little cavern, like a room. In the corner was a pile of hay, and next to it, on a large, cleanly washed tree bark, were some food items.
But the smell wasn't great. The food included some black fruits from trees, some vegetables, and some meat—though it looked like it had been picked from a trash heap.
The girl gazed at Zhang Yi, her eyes full of admiration.
She eagerly gestured for Zhang Yi to sit down.
Zhang Yi nodded and sat on a stone.
"You're amazing! You actually managed to kill a Tri-Eyed Clan giant. Are you a messenger sent from heaven?"
The girl's eyes sparkled as she stared at Zhang Yi and asked.
Zhang Yi looked up at the ceiling, smiled, and nodded.
"Something like that."
From this perspective, he really had come from the sky.
The girl's eyes widened, and she hopped around in delight.
"I knew it! The legends of the Human God Sect are real! Up in the sky, there are human gods, and one day they will come to save us!"
She knelt on the ground and respectfully kowtowed to Zhang Yi.
"Divine One, I beg you to take me away from here!"
Zhang Yi said, "I just arrived and don't understand this world yet. First, tell me what the situation is like here."
By now, the girl had already regarded Zhang Yi as a human god, so of course she hurriedly told him everything she knew.
The girl said her name was Flower, a savage who had escaped from an enclosure.
Among humans here, there were also two types: domesticated and wild.
Some domesticated humans were used as food, while others were kept as pets.
There were also some humans who, because the Tri-Eyed Clan had discovered that these little creatures could use tools, were made to help craft small handicrafts.
As for the wild ones, they were like Flower, only able to live in dark corners. The lives of these savages were cheaper than grass.
They could only eat food from trash heaps and were constantly at risk of being stepped on and killed by Tri-Eyed Clan giants.
