Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies Chapter 1396: Puppets

Kanasu had not yet realized what Gao Changkong was planning to do at this moment, only thinking that he was choosing to flee because he knew he couldn't win.

Therefore, his attacks remained fierce, each sword strike as if tearing the sky apart, carrying unparalleled destructive power.

Gao Changkong strained every sinew, evading every single one of Kanasu's attacks, each time dancing on the edge of death's scythe.

Finally, after reaching the civilian district, he swiftly barged into the living areas of the common people.

This place was packed with Tri-Eyed Clan members from Nasha, and Kanasu's wide-area attack ability was immediately restricted, unable to be used conveniently.

At that moment, he realized that Gao Changkong intended to use the civilians as human shields to escape.

"Despicable vermin!"

Kanasu snorted coldly.

He shouted loudly, "Everyone, leave this area immediately! Get far, far away!"

However, Kanasu's plan was to clear the area first, let his people leave, and then launch a carpet-bombing attack.

But Gao Changkong, after landing in the civilian district, did not rush to escape as Kanasu had thought. Instead, a cruel smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Clop, clop," "Clop, clop," the sound of hooves rapidly approached.

Gao Changkong glanced back at the massive centaur, then suddenly lunged sideways, flying toward a young boy who was staring at him with shock and uncertainty.

He grabbed the boy by the collar, and a mysterious talisman suddenly materialized in his palm.

[Puppet Mark].

Through physical contact, it could temporarily turn a target into his puppet, forcing them to act according to his will.

It could not strip away their thoughts, but it could control their body.

The young boy had no idea what was happening; suddenly, his body was no longer under his command.

Gao Changkong hoisted him by the collar, and like an ant trying to topple a tree, swung his massive body toward the distant Kanasu.

Seeing this, Kanasu was furious.

The young boy screamed in terror. Kanasu realized in his heart that something might be wrong with the boy, but he still reached out to catch his body.

And just as he caught the boy's body, the young boy suddenly began to swell like a balloon.

"Boom!!!"

A violent explosion erupted in Kanasu's palm.

A patch of scorched black appeared on his palm. For his body, the damage from this explosion was not severe.

But watching a fellow clansman be killed by that despicable hairless rat still enraged him!

"Wretched bug, die!"

Kanasu was about to kill Gao Changkong, but when he looked up, the scene before him made his pupils abruptly constrict.

Because Gao Changkong was already causing massive chaos in this densely populated slum.

He was using large amounts of explosives, destroying the houses here, and setting huge fires.

Tri-Eyed Clan members ran out screaming in terror, the streets packed densely with people.

Gao Changkong stood on the eaves above the crowd, looking at them with a strange expression, then turned his gaze to Kanasu.

In an instant, Kanasu understood Gao Changkong's intent.

He let out a roar, charging toward Gao Changkong like lightning.

But Gao Changkong himself knew well that in a direct fight, he was no match for Kanasu.

So he was already on guard, swiftly dodging and using his small stature to jump into the crowd of Tri-Eyed Clan members.

Unless Kanasu was willing to disregard his own people, like the other generals, and indiscriminately kill all the Tri-Eyed Clan here, he wouldn't be able to find Gao Changkong in a short time.

On the other hand, Gao Changkong figured that none of these people were his kind anyway. Using them as human bombs was simply perfect!

He quickly moved through the crowd, planting marks on their bodies.

The timer was set to one minute.

After one minute, the talismans buried inside them would explode. Not only would they die, but the Tri-Eyed Clan members around them would also be blown up!

So at this moment, no one knew how many people on the street had already become walking bombs.

Coupled with the herd instinct of living beings, they would habitually follow the crowd, which meant they could take more of their kind with them when they died.

"Hahaha! Let's see if you can attack them all together now!"

Gao Changkong laughed loudly as he looked back at the towering centaur giant, casually tossing over two children who looked only four or five years old.

They wailed loudly, thrown with tremendous force. If he didn't catch them, they would surely die from the fall.

Kanasu gritted his teeth, blasting out waves of hot air from between his two rows of huge, white teeth.

But he couldn't stand by and do nothing; he could only catch the two children at lightning speed.

In reality, when he had touched that earlier young boy, he already knew the way to save them.

The [Puppet Mark] planted by Gao Changkong was not a particularly high-level mark; Kanasu had a way to break it.

But time was tight—one minute was too short for the explosion. He could only transfer the mark's power onto himself.

Time waited for no one. Either watch two young children die by his own hand, or transfer the marks on them onto himself.

Kanasu had no time to overthink and could only choose the latter.

After all, an attack of this level was nothing to him.

But the problem was that this was a slum—the most populous place in Nasha.

The poorer a place, the stronger people's desire to have children, because they needed more labor to work.

And every single person here could become a weapon in Gao Changkong's hands.

He laughed wildly, planting Puppet Marks on one person after another.

And these people would all die without exception after one minute.

Kanasu was itching with hatred, cursing Gao Changkong's shamelessness.

"Vile bug, despicable scoundrel! Have you lost even the slightest shred of dignity as a strongman?"

Faced with Kanasu's roar, Gao Changkong seemed completely unfazed.

After all, he couldn't even understand Kanasu's language.

And in his view, as long as he could achieve his goal, all sacrifices were meaningful.

"Boom!"

A person in the crowd of Tri-Eyed Clan suddenly swelled up, then exploded violently!

Flesh and blood flew everywhere, and a dozen people around were caught in the blast and killed. Blood and gore rained down like a storm, splattering all over the place.

"AAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!"

Panicked screams grew louder and louder. People ran blindly as if their lives depended on it. Even though they had no idea where was safe, they simply followed wherever the crowd was biggest.

The crowd gave them a sense of security, and that was exactly what Gao Changkong wanted—for them to cluster together.

"Boom!"

...

One by one, human bombs exploded. Soon, over a hundred people had died in this carnage.
