Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies Chapter 1563: Plundering the Elemental Ore Vein

Zhang Yi looked at Gao Tianwu and asked with a smile, "You've been here for almost a year now. Are you familiar with this place?"

Gao Tianwu nodded. "I know this place like the back of my hand!"

The smile on Zhang Yi's face grew even wider.

"Perfect. Then take me to where they store the elemental ore! By the way, how much stock do they have here?" Zhang Yi asked with some curiosity.

Although Gao Tianwu had no idea what Zhang Yi was planning, he answered without hesitation, "They used to transport it once a month. But now that mining output has increased, Shengjing isn't in a hurry to use it, and shipping too much at once makes storage difficult. So now they only transport it once every three months."

Zhang Yi stroked his chin thoughtfully.

"So that means Snow Dragon City has a considerable stockpile, right? Not enough. Still not enough."

Not enough to make Shengjing truly feel the pain.

Zhang Yi fixed his gaze on Gao Tianwu and asked again, "Do you know the ore deposit locations down below?"

"Of course I do! Mr. Zhang, when you sent me here to work, I went everywhere I could! I've been down into the mine shafts plenty of times too. I know that place inside and out."

Zhang Yi nodded. "Good, that puts my mind at ease! Let's go!"

Gao Tianwu blinked. "Go where?"

"Down below."

Zhang Yi didn't elaborate. He simply had Mu Yan open the Shadow Space and absorbed the brothers who had been with Gao Tianwu.

Gao Tianwu was dumbfounded. Judging by this situation, was Zhang Yi planning to take them away?

Just then, the miners not far behind Gao Tianwu hurried over.

"Mr.... Mr. Zhang, could you take us away too?"

"We're very familiar with Gao Tianwu! We've even treated him to meals!"

Zhang Yi glanced at them and asked indifferently, "What can they do?"

Gao Tianwu scratched his head, looked at those familiar faces, and answered honestly, "They're all skilled miners."

Zhang Yi smiled and said sincerely to those miners, "Don't waste your talents. Here is where you can truly realize your value!"

After saying that, without waiting for them to respond, he grabbed Gao Tianwu's arm and vanished from the spot, heading straight for the mine shafts.

Are you kidding? A bunch of miners with no significant value, why would Zhang Yi take them away?

In this world, relying on others' pity is like pinning your hopes on a castle in the air.

Only when you can provide sufficient value will others help you.

Zhang Yi appeared inside the mine shaft with Gao Tianwu and said to him, "Tell me every single point where you know the ore deposits are rich! Today, we're going to give this place a thorough cleaning!"

Gao Tianwu's eyes went wide.

"Mr. Zhang, are you declaring war on Shengjing?"

Zhang Yi nodded. "Something like that! Anyway, you don't need to worry about this matter. Once this is done, I'll take you all back to Tianshui City."

Gao Tianwu nodded. The matters between Zhang Yi and Shengjing were beyond his ability to get involved in for now, so he'd just follow Zhang Yi's instructions.

By now, Zhang Yi's dimensional space had been upgraded and could actively absorb large quantities of objects.

Gao Tianwu had spent a long time in the mine shafts and knew exactly where the richest resources were.

So he pointed out one location after another, and Zhang Yi directly opened the Dimensional Gate to start harvesting.

"RUMBLE!!!"

Tremendous noise echoed underground. In the depths, mountain-sized colossal ore deposits were ripped directly from the rock walls, then swallowed into the void.

The commotion down here was too loud and quickly drew attention from above.

A group of Dragon's Roar Guards swiftly mobilized and gathered at the mine entrance.

"What's going on? With this kind of ruckus down below, could another super-sized Ground Centipede have appeared?" A Dragon's Roar Guard said with a tense expression.

"No, it doesn't seem like a Ground Centipede disturbance! It's... a person."

Several more Dragon's Roar Guards walked over, accompanied by a few miners covered in dirt.

"Someone spotted a Transcendent appearing in the mine shafts, mass-harvesting the elemental ore veins!"

The other Dragon's Roar Guards were shocked.

"A single Transcendent, mass-harvesting the elemental ore veins?"

They all understood those words individually, but put together, why did it feel so surreal?

This underground ore vein was absolutely massive. The Shengjing district had been mining it for two years and hadn't even extracted a tenth of it.

How much could one person possibly take?

"But that person... he's the Chaos from the Jiangnan Region!" A Transcendent said with a bitter expression.

"What? Chaos!!"

That name stunned every Dragon's Roar Guard present.

During that battle back then, many of them had witnessed the overwhelming might of that powerful existence from the Jiangnan Region.

An Epsilon-class Transcendent was like a god in their eyes.

But why would Chaos do something like this?

It was a soldier squad leader who reacted first.

"This matter is beyond what we can handle! Quickly report the situation here to Lord Warden and Shengjing!"

The Dragon's Roar Guards operated with extreme efficiency, and the message was soon delivered to both places.

Shengjing City.

Qin Qigong, who had been feeling uneasy about this matter, received the news and was dumbfounded.

"What? He actually went to the Qinling Mountains!"

Qin Qigong felt his head throbbing even harder.

He had originally assumed that even if Zhang Yi came to settle scores in his fury, he would head straight for Shengjing.

In that case, he wouldn't have been so afraid.

After all, Shengjing City had the Ksitigarbha King and Houtu standing guard, plus their most powerful military strength as a foundation.

Never mind one Zhang Yi coming; even if five Zhang Yis came, they had the means to hold him off.

But instead of causing trouble in Shengjing, the man had gone to the Qinling Mountains instead. No need to guess - he was after the elemental ore vein resources!

That was the primary source of energy for the entire Shengjing district right now. If Zhang Yi ransacked it, the whole district would suffer catastrophic losses.

"His actions must be stopped! The Shengjing district cannot afford such a loss."

Qin Qigong was frantic, pacing like an ant on a hot pan. But the problem was, he had struck first this time, and he couldn't condemn Zhang Yi from a position of moral high ground.

And the Ksitigarbha King and Houtu couldn't easily leave Shengjing.

Who could be sent to deal with Zhang Yi?

Rely on Zhen Yuanzi?

Perhaps in the past, Zhen Yuanzi could have held Zhang Yi back for a while.

But the Zhang Yi of now was clearly a different beast. Given Zhen Yuanzi's ability attributes, he likely had no way to deal with Zhang Yi at all.

Qin Qigong's heart was filled with anxiety. He immediately tried to contact Zhang Yi, hoping to placate him with kind words.

But when he initiated the communication, he discovered he had been blocked!

Are you kidding? Zhang Yi was in the middle of an enjoyable plunder. He wouldn't bother with you at all. Even if negotiations were to happen, it would only be after he'd secured enough gains!

Qin Qigong was both furious and anxious. "We can't let him keep this up!"

But at the moment, he had no way to deal with Zhang Yi, unless he resorted to using Love of Death.

But that weapon was more for deterrence. How effective it would actually be in real use was uncertain, and it would also push the situation to an irreparable point.

Qin Qigong thought it over again and again, and ultimately shook his head.

He didn't want to take things to that step, and he didn't dare bear the terrible consequences of using force against the top Transcendent of his own nation.
