Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies Chapter 1575: Reviewing Training Results

Tianshui City, Zhang Yi's shelter.

The construction of the Tianshui Forbidden Zone had already begun in full swing.

The people who had just been delivered to Tianshui City, after receiving a certain amount of food and lodging, were quickly sent here to work as laborers.

No one who had managed to survive until today after the apocalypse was a weakling.

They all possessed relatively strong physical fitness and resistance to the cold, and their willpower was also exceptional.

Moreover, a portion of them were even Transcendents with supernatural powers.

These people weren't brought here to freeload. They had to exchange work for food and Zhang Yi's protection.

Zhang Yi wasn't overly harsh with them either.

The construction of the Tianshui Forbidden Zone began first and foremost with using Barrier Stones to build the dome, forming a defensive bulwark similar to the Sacred Spirit Hall of the Nash Kingdom.

Ordinary people couldn't move them at all.

Basically, it was Uncle Yu taking the lead, directing a group of Strengthening-type or beast-type Transcendents to haul them.

As for the others, they were responsible for polishing, fitting the seams, and various other fine technical work.

Not far from this location was the Lu River, which spanned across Tianshui City.

The Lu River had now been completely frozen over, like a white jade belt tied around the waist of Tianshui City.

That morning, the Frog, Qi Baokai, popped his head out from beneath the ice. His two round, bulging eyes scanned the surroundings like periscopes.

He had been sleeping quite soundly, but was suddenly awakened by a violent vibration, which made him very unhappy.

"Ribbit! Who dares to disturb the Frog's sweet dreams, ribbit!"

The Frog glared with "fierce" eyes into the distance, and quickly found the culprit.

Baili Changqing, bare-chested with only a pair of black training pants on his lower half, was leading the thirty members of the Shadow Troop in a running drill.

Steaming hot air rose from their bodies, quickly condensing into mist before turning into frost.

"Left, right! Left, right!"

The Frog lay prone on the ice, propping his cheek on one hand while tapping the ice with three fingers of the other, looking exasperated.

"How many spirit stones do you earn a month to be working yourselves to death like that?"

He yawned, casually picked off two chunks of ice and stuffed them into his ears, then dove back beneath the ice to continue sleeping.

Meanwhile, as the Shadow Troop ran along the Lu River, they caught sight of the shelter undergoing large-scale construction.

"Zhang... ahem, the Supreme One is renovating the shelter again! Man, he's really cautious!"

One Transcendent remarked.

Xiao Honglian gazed at the shelter, her eyes filled with nostalgia.

It seemed to take her back three years, to the time when they had clashed with Zhang Yi.

That earth-shattering battle, though utterly insignificant compared to today's standards, was still thrilling and nerve-wracking to think about.

"You just don't get it! The Supreme One is exactly that kind of person. Only by calculating everything in his mind can he control everything. That's why he can become the supreme existence!"

Xiao Honglian said with heartfelt conviction.

Xing Tian also let out a long breath of hot air: "Yeah, I've had my eye on him since we were kids!"

He raised his voice and said to everyone, "We two used to be childhood buddies, you know! I even treated him to spicy snacks before!"

The crowd cast strange looks at Xing Tian. This guy couldn't go three sentences without mentioning Zhang Yi, and he always emphasized how close he and Zhang Yi used to be.

What a name-dropper!

Among the crowd, Ruan Ping stared at the towering shelter and the massive dome under construction, unable to help squinting his eyes.

"They're building an even bigger shelter!"

Beside him, Lu Dahai heard this and asked with a smile, "What, you want to go take a look?"

Ruan Ping hastily shook his head upon hearing this: "No, no, no. How could I possibly be qualified to go over there? That's where the Supreme One lives. We can only look up to it from afar."

Xing Tian snorted smugly: "I've been there!"

Ruan Ping chuckled awkwardly, "Truly enviable!"

Baili Changqing heard the chatter from his team members behind him and said coldly, "If you want to earn that one's favor, then train hard! Only after you've demonstrated enough value will you be qualified to earn that one's recognition!"

For a moment, the crowd's chants grew even more vigorous, as if trying to attract the attention of someone inside that shelter several kilometers away.

And in reality, Zhang Yi did indeed take notice of them.

Zhang Yi, dressed in a silk pajama set, stood barefoot in his bedroom.

The floor radiated a warm current of air. Even with bare feet, he could feel a pleasant warmth traveling up from the soles of his feet.

He stood by the window, took out his telescopic viewing device and zoomed in. The first thing he saw was Baili Changqing's muscular, heavily defined upper body.

Behind him, the thirty members of the Shadow Troop, both male and female, all wore no combat suits, only the most basic training uniforms, running in a neat military formation in weather of negative sixty degrees.

Zhang Yi couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

"That guy! Pulling tricks for my benefit, huh."

On the bed behind him, Zhou Ke'er was wearing a black silk nightgown. Even the luster of the silk couldn't hide the delicacy of her skin. She was dangling her legs, her fair, tender feet swaying back and forth, utterly relaxed.

Hearing Zhang Yi's words, Zhou Ke'er smiled curiously and walked over.

"Zhang Yi, who is it?"

Zhang Yi said, "Baili Changqing! He brought the team over to show me their training results."

Recently, Zhang Yi hadn't paid much attention to the Shadow Troop's training.

But Baili Changqing wanted to showcase his achievements before Zhang Yi, so he'd specially brought everyone to the vicinity.

Zhou Ke'er tapped the air with her hand, and the room's smart system immediately displayed an image of the Shadow Troop on the glass.

Seeing those Transcendents training so diligently, Zhou Ke'er smiled softly: "They seem quite impressive! I feel they wouldn't fall too far behind the Yan Cloud Guard of Blizzard City."

Zhang Yi said casually, "Comparing them to the ordinary Yan Cloud Guard is meaningless. If you want a comparison, you should compare them to the Transcendents of the Investigation Troop!"

Zhou Ke'er said, "But their training time is still too short. Their supernatural powers haven't been effectively honed either."

Zhang Yi said, "I'll speed up their growth! After all, I don't have that much time to wait for them to develop slowly."

Zhou Ke'er asked, "Are you planning to force their growth? Using drugs?"

Zhang Yi said, "Let me observe for a while longer. If they show talent, I'll put more effort into cultivating them. If their talent is lacking and their ceiling is limited, then it's better to just stimulate them directly with drugs. What I need is Transcendents who can be put to use as soon as possible!"

He thought for a moment, then sent a voice message to Yang Xinxin.

"They've trained for over a month now. It's about time this principal of theirs went to review their training results."

Yang Xinxin replied, "Alright, I'll have them prepare. We'll start the planned review tomorrow."
