Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies Chapter 1596: The Giant Blade

Han Shanzuo had one foot propped on a chair and a big green beer bottle in one hand, chatting happily with a few of his brothers.

"Back when I went to Shengjing, that mission was an absolute bloodbath! A bunch of us ran down into the abyss to fight those giant centipedes! Holy crap, every single one was seven or eight kilometers long, stretching from the east end of our Fengtian Avenue to the west, wrapping around five or six times!"

"Those guys were completely stunned, and at the critical moment, I stepped up!"

Han Shanzuo slapped his chest and pointed forward. "I said, what's there to be afraid of? Aren't they just a bunch of bugs? I'll whip up two dishes and serve them as appetizers! Then I went at it, wham bam, and cleaned them all up!"

The brothers beside him all clapped enthusiastically.

"Brother Shan, no one else could pull that off but you! Absolutely savage."

"I'm just saying, you can't know if someone's got real skill until they prove it in action!"

Han Shanzuo was smug and proud, but put on a dismissive expression, waving his hand and saying, "That was nothing. I didn't even take it seriously."

Right at that moment, the communication device sitting nearby started ringing.

He frowned. "This old Ji has zero tact. I'm right in the middle of drinking, and he's calling me now!"

He turned to his brothers and said, "You all keep drinking. I'll go deal with him for a bit!"

After saying that, Han Shanzuo grabbed the communication device and headed to the next room.

The brothers left behind were still giving thumbs up.

"Brother Shan is a beast! Even the supreme commander of our region has to watch what he says around him!"

"You bet! The Northeast Major Region got to where it is today, all thanks to Brother Shan!"

...

Han Shanzuo entered the next room and immediately switched his demeanor.

"Commander Ji, what do you need me for?"

Ji Changhai, addressed as "Commander Ji," clearly didn't catch the homophone joke.

His tone was somewhat serious as he said, "Dazuo, something's happened out in the East China Sea! I just received intel that some creatures from the Underground Civilization have escaped and are causing chaos over there. We need to stay vigilant. These times are far from peaceful."

Han Shanzuo scratched his head upon hearing this. "Something's going on in the East China Sea, so what does that have to do with us?"

"You can't say that. The five major regions of the Huaxu Nation rise and fall together. Today it's the East China Sea Major Region, but who knows, tomorrow it might be our turn."

Han Shanzuo chuckled. "We'll deal with it when the time comes! Why rush? What, are you thinking of sending me over to provide support?"

The moment his voice faded, he suddenly felt the brightness in the room rapidly intensifying. It was the middle of the night, and it was just an ordinary light fixture.

Yet he felt that dazzling brilliance making the room brighter than broad daylight.

Han Shanzuo instinctively turned around, only to see what looked like a sun rising over the northeastern plains outside the window.

About two seconds after seeing the light, the deafening roar finally reached his ears, hitting him in waves like an earthquake!

"BOOOOOOM!!!!!"

The ground beneath his feet trembled, everything in the room shook violently, the shelving unit against the wall toppled over, and vases along with the pretentious copies of *The Way of the Wolf*, *The Sheepskin Scroll*, and *The Weaknesses of Human Nature* scattered all over the floor.

The leisurely expression on Han Shanzuo's face vanished in an instant, replaced by a gaze of terrifying seriousness.

"Commander Ji, looks like trouble really has arrived!"

The third Transcendent force from the Mist Valley had traveled north along the East China Sea and descended upon Fengtian City in the Northeast Major Region!

Although Han Shanzuo was usually a slacker, when trouble came knocking, he never hesitated.

He quickly changed into his combat suit, and the brothers who had been drinking with him in the room were already geared up and ready.

They were all members of the Northeast Major Region's Fierce Tiger Army, and every single one of them was elite.

At this moment, there was no trace of drunkenness on their faces, only burning battle intent!

Han Shanzuo strode forward and out the door.

"Let's go! We're going to fuck up those bastards who dared to mess with the Northeast Major Region!"

The instant he stepped outside, his body transformed into a sky-covering swarm of black crows and shot into the heavens!

Meanwhile, in Fengtian City, after the Mist Valley Transcendent forces descended and laid eyes on the ice castle before them, they were momentarily captivated by its beauty.

Snowy City Fengtian.

This was a region locked in perpetual cold, so since ancient times, its people had become exceptionally skilled at utilizing ice and snow.

The arrival of the Ice Age, for them, only meant that an already frigid season had grown a bit colder.

Fortunately, they had long grown accustomed to facing the harsh cold.

As a result, after the apocalypse, they had eliminated most of those with weaker constitutions, and the survivors adapted to everything far faster than people from other regions.

Survival of the fittest. Natural selection.

"This is the charm of civilization. This beautiful city, I almost feel reluctant to destroy it."

Silver Armor said calmly.

He instructed his subordinates, "No need to kill everyone. We can keep some of the females and young ones to raise as pets. And try to preserve the city as much as possible."

"I want a pet farm."

The Black-White Commander behind him nodded. "As you command, General!"

While they were talking, the Fierce Tiger Guards had already arrived. Just like other forces, these mobile units reacted extremely quickly, mobilizing powerful firepower at the first possible moment to launch attacks on the invaders.

Unfortunately, the gap in raw power was simply too vast, and they had never faced a force of this caliber.

The attacks of ordinary soldiers and low-level Transcendents had virtually no effect on them.

Silver Armor seemed to be someone who knew how to enjoy life. He flew up above an ice castle, perched himself on top of it, and quietly admired the beauty of this snowy city, seemingly indifferent to the battle.

Yet merely the hundred-plus Mist Valley elites led by the Black-White Commander were more than enough to slaughter the Fierce Tiger Guards!

In less than a minute, human soldiers fell like ants crushed under a giant's foot, with casualties exceeding five thousand!

It was at this moment that a massive flock of crows flew toward this direction from the sky.

"Caw caw caw—"

The crow calls were piercingly harsh, carrying an ominous omen of disaster.

Silver Armor looked up at the sky and saw a colossal black cloud flying in from the northeast. Looking closer, he realized that the black cloud was actually made up of dense swarms of crows.

They flew to the sky above the battlefield, and suddenly, countless black feathers drifted down like rain, falling onto the battlefield and landing on the shoulders of the Mist Valley warriors.

Those Mist Valley soldiers looked at the black feathers around them with confusion, and the next instant, the feathers transformed into thick black smoke, engulfing them all!

The black smoke coiled around their entire bodies, then seeped through the gaps in their armor, and finally burrowed into every orifice on their bodies.

Mouths, noses, ears, eyes, and even their anuses and genital openings.

"AHHH!!!!"

Screams instantly spread across the entire battlefield. The heart-wrenching agony was unbearable even for the most elite Mist Valley warriors!
