Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies Chapter 1595: Raiding the Huaxu Nation
Previously on Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies...
The Black-White Commander led the Mist Valley elites in a charge onto the naval base. Just as they were about to go on a rampage of destruction and slaughter, a large sniper rifle barrel quietly aimed at his head from the shadows.
Canero held his breath, locked onto the Black-White Commander's head, and swiftly pulled the trigger.
A streak of black light shot out from his barrel and arrived before the Black-White Commander in an instant.
The Black-White Commander was about to make a move when he sensed the dangerous aura closing in on him, a chill running through his forehead!
Without hesitation, he activated his ability, raising both arms to block in front of him as his body suddenly swelled to twice its size!
His two arms, wrapped in black-and-white armor, stood before him like two metal pillars.
"Thud!"
The indestructible body of an Enhancement-type ability user was actually blasted open with a hole in an instant by Canero's bullet!
The Black-White Commander's arms were pierced straight through. His pupils contracted sharply, and using his arms to slow the bullet's velocity, he narrowly dodged having his head blown off.
"Shhk!"The black bullet, carrying terrifying supernatural power, grazed past his head and actually shattered his helmet!
Revealing the crimson skin beneath, and as the broken pieces of armor fell away, one could vaguely make out short, crimson-red horns growing from his skull.
However, did you think that was the end of it?
It wasn't over. Hot on the heels of that bullet came two more, racing toward his body with barely a hair's breadth between them!
[Piercing of All Things], a formidable armor-piercing ability capable of neutralizing most of the defensive power of any physical defense.
Even if the opponent was a being with an ability index far exceeding Canero's, they would still easily suffer losses when facing him.
That was the sniper's capability—concentrating all one's power into a single, ultra-long-range absolute attack!
In the past, Canero had fallen into a misconception. He believed that only by developing all his abilities in a balanced manner could he become an invincible existence.
But after meeting Zhang Yi, he came to understand that if a person tried to be perfect in every aspect, the only result would be mediocrity across the board.
Without a standout strength, one could never become a Transcendent capable of holding their own.
Take Zhang Yi, for example. By pushing his defense to the absolute limit, he could make enemies with ability indices far surpassing his own feel utterly helpless.
And what Canero chose was the ultimate offensive approach!
From the very beginning of this battle, Canero had never shown himself openly.
The Black-White Commander's attention had been fixed on Cadillus, believing that the naval base had no stronger Transcendents.
That was why Canero's strike caught him completely off guard.
Three shots came flying. One pierced through his arms, and the remaining two tore through his chest and abdomen!
As a top-tier Enhancement-type Transcendent, the Black-White Commander's reaction speed was extremely fast, allowing him to avoid his vital points.
But without even seeing his attacker's face, he had already been hit three times. This forced him to cast aside his contempt for humanity.
"These bastards are a bit stronger than I imagined."
"Looks like I'll have to take things a bit more seriously!"
The Black-White Commander assumed a combat stance, and what was truly terrifying was that the wounds Canero had inflicted on him were healing at an astonishing rate.
Enhancement-type Transcendents possessed the most formidable physiques. In terms of pure physical defense and self-regeneration, they were the strongest!
All three of Canero's shots had missed his vital points.
Even if his internal organs were damaged, as long as his brain and heart weren't destroyed, he could rapidly regenerate.
Seeing this scene, a slow smile curved at the corner of Canero's mouth.
"I know. I've always known that you bastards are the hardest to deal with."
"That's exactly why I admire that man!"
The Black-White Commander had already confirmed Canero's direction and was about to charge at full speed to kill the human who had been taking potshots from the shadows.
But suddenly, his body stiffened violently as an intense numbness swept through his entire frame.
Canero said calmly, "I added a lethal toxin to the bullet heads. That's another thing that man taught me."
Whether a Transcendent was powerful or not depended on more than just the ability index.
Being able to adapt flexibly on the battlefield, being willing to cast aside so-called pride as a strong one, and stopping at nothing to kill the enemy—perhaps that mattered even more.
In a life-or-death war, as long as you came out on top, the means didn't matter at all.
The Black-White Commander ground his teeth. This time, he was truly enraged.
To be toyed with by humans again and again—his pride simply couldn't bear such humiliation.
"ROAR!!!"
He let out a furious bellow to the sky. From within his armor, an antidote was injected into his veins to suppress the toxin threatening to spread through his entire body.
Then, like a raging gale, he charged straight at Canero!
"BOOM!!"
In the blink of an eye, everything in his path was obliterated. Like a sword descending from the heavens, he carved a terrifying, straight-line scar across the naval base!
Canero's expression turned even more grim.
"Damn, this bastard is hard to kill!"
Without hesitation, he rose and sped off into the distance.
Within the naval base he knew so well, he moved like a fish in water, using the auxiliary functions of his combat suit to flee swiftly.
During the Black-White Commander's pursuit, every place he passed exploded one after another!
The traps Canero had laid were triggered—preparations specifically designed for powerful Transcendents who invaded the naval base.
One ammunition depot after another blew open, the explosives rivaling a miniature Love of Death in yield, sending a colossal mushroom cloud rising into the sky!
The temperature around the entire naval base shot up by over a hundred degrees, turning it as warm as a summer's day.
...
While two Mist Valley forces struck the two major military bases in the East China Sea region simultaneously, three Silver Armor commanders led several hundred Mist Valley elite warriors flying toward the Huaxu Nation's mainland.
The armor on their bodies acted like flight devices, spewing blue light as they streaked across the night sky like a swarm of meteors.
After they arrived at the Huaxu Nation's coastal waters and caught sight of that vast stretch of land, the three Silver Armor commanders exchanged glances, communicated briefly, and then the entire force quickly split into three directions.
One headed straight for the Northeast.
One headed straight for the Northwest.
One headed straight for the Jiangnan Region.
...
The news of the attacks on the naval bases of the East China Sea Major Region and the Colombia Ocean Fleet reached the intelligence channels of every major region in the Huaxu Nation at the first possible moment.
However, due to the vast distances and the limitations of human intelligence transmission, it was impossible for everyone to be informed in time.
Take the Jiangnan Region, for example.
Zhang Yi couldn't possibly receive the intelligence firsthand; it had to be relayed through Blizzard City.
And in the distant Northeast Major Region—the coldest area in the entire Huaxu Nation—when [Daoist Lu Ya] Han Shanzuo received the news, he was bare-chested in a heated room, drinking beer and shooting the breeze with a few old buddies.
