Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies Chapter 1601: Black Emperor

Upon hearing the name [Guardian Army], looks of surprise and relief appeared on their faces.

Ji Changhai's body couldn't help but slump, he could no longer bear such immense psychological pressure. Even as the supreme commander of the Northeast Major Region, when faced with the imminent launch of Love of Death, which would wipe out the million soldiers and civilians of Fengtian City alongside their enemies, this crushing psychological weight had nearly destroyed him.

Silver Armor was about to step forward when suddenly, his ear twitched and he stopped in his tracks.

Behind him, the Golden Crow, whose head had already been severed, suddenly twitched.

"Puff!"

The Golden Crow's flesh exploded outward, and Han Shanzuo crawled out from the pile of gore. The flesh formed from supernatural powers instantly transformed into streams of rising steam, surging into the sky.

So it turned out that he hadn't actually transformed into the Golden Crow himself, but rather had become its inner core. Therefore, the heavy damage the Golden Crow suffered wouldn't actually threaten his life, but judging from his pale complexion, his own consumption had been far from light.

Silver Armor glanced at him with interest, then simply looked down at his feet before stomping his right foot heavily on the ground. A piece of gravel sent flying from the shattered debris landed in his palm.

Silver Armor looked at Han Shanzuo, placing the stone between his thumb and index finger with his right hand.

Han Shanzuo gasped for breath in great heaves.

That technique earlier had originally been his trump card for survival, capable of feigning death to deceive enemies at critical moments. But today, this was Fengtian City, his own homeland. If Fengtian City fell, what meaning was there left in living?

So, he would rather die standing!

"Come on!"

Han Shanzuo let out a fierce roar, powerful supernatural energy surging from his body. Though he couldn't transform into his Golden Crow form again in such a short time, that didn't mean he was weak!

"Oh?"

Silver Armor tilted his head, his right thumb flicking upward with force. The stone instantly tore through the air at a speed faster than an artillery shell!

Vroom!

The very air vibrated violently. It was hard to imagine just how devastating a small stone flicked by a Black Chariot-tier Enhancement-type Transcendent could be!

Han Shanzuo couldn't imagine it either. His battered and wounded body was already in no condition to withstand even a casual attack from a Black Chariot-tier Transcendent.

Just as the stone was about to pierce through Han Shanzuo's head, a powerful hand suddenly reached out and firmly caught the stone.

"???"

Han Shanzuo turned his head in astonishment to look at the owner of that arm, and even Silver Armor stared at him with surprised eyes.

In the entire Northeast Major Region, there was only one Epsilon-class Transcendent, and no one had ever heard of a second one existing.

So then, just who was this person who had appeared?

Han Shanzuo looked up and only caught a glimpse of the man's profile.

He was a man clad in a dark green military uniform. The loose military coat draped over his burly, towering frame without looking the least bit bulky. A wide military cap shaded the upper half of his face, leaving only his sharp, blade-like jawline visible.

"You... you..."

Han Shanzuo was too overwhelmed to speak clearly, yet at the same time his heart was filled with intense shock. He had absolutely no idea who this person before him was. It was just that the moment he saw that dark green military uniform, he felt an inexplicable sense of safety.

The soldier's left hand, clad in a black deerskin glove, clenched tightly. The small stone in his grip instantly crumbled into fine powder that trickled to the ground.

"You did well. Leave the rest here to me."

The man's voice was cold, utterly devoid of emotion, yet it put Han Shanzuo's heart at ease like nothing else.

Suddenly, a name surfaced in his mind.

The [Guardian Army].

After the apocalypse, the world had changed dramatically, and the global situation was shifting with violent turbulence. Weak nations and regions had long since been destroyed, and even world powers found it difficult to guarantee they wouldn't suffer any harassment in such an environment.

Once war broke out, everyone around you could become your enemy.

For the Huaxu Nation, it was especially surrounded by formidable powers on all sides.

On the southeastern coast of the Huaxu Nation, Colombia's Ocean Fleet stood in confrontation. Along the entire western border and the long northeastern frontier, there were countless potential threats as well.

Therefore, in the early days of the apocalypse, a batch of the most elite warriors was dispatched from the original military regions, tasked specifically with guarding the northern gate. They didn't belong to any major region, having only one mission: to defend the Huaxu Nation's long northern borderline.

Han Shanzuo had heard of this special military force's existence, but he had never had any contact with them. He never expected that today, they would actually come to their aid.

Though this was also only natural, since the Northeast Major Region had an extremely long national border and directly bordered two nations, one of which was Freemonts, a country with one of the strongest militaries in the world today.

Han Shanzuo took a deep breath and, before stepping back, he said:

"Brother, he's an Enhancement-type Transcendent, his strength is no joke, at least Black Chariot-tier! You need to be careful."

The young soldier, who looked to be in his thirties, nodded upon hearing this.

Han Shanzuo didn't stay to help, because right now, there were more important things he had to do.

The Black-White Commander, leading a group of Azure Armor warriors, had already slaughtered the Fierce Tiger Guards down to only a third of their original numbers!

Two of the Northeast Five Immortals had already died in battle. If he didn't get over there soon, within half an hour, the entire Fierce Tiger Guard would be wiped out!

After Han Shanzuo left, the young soldier adjusted his black deerskin gloves. Through the wide military cap, his dark eyes blazed with terrifying killing intent!

He walked forward with firm steps, advancing toward Silver Armor one stride at a time.

"Those who invade our Huaxia territory, death without mercy!"

"Those who harm our Huaxia people, death without mercy!"

"Those who disrupt our Huaxia iron laws, death without mercy!"

"Today, every monster that came here, no matter what you are, you will all leave your lives behind!"

Lieutenant General rank, Guardian Army's number one fighter, Chen Xuanba, the [Black Emperor Zhuanxu], reporting in!

Silver Armor could understand his language, so beneath his mask, a deeply mocking smile formed. It was the condescending amusement of an adult hearing a child's wild boasts.

"Hehehe—"

Silver Armor's laughter echoed from beneath his armor as he roared: "Oh? Then let me see what other beings exist among humanity that can give me some good entertainment!"

Chen Xuanba said not a word. His right foot slammed hard into the ground, the earth beneath him cracking apart on impact. A surge of black energy erupted from within his body, swirling around him like a violent storm.

Silver Armor's laughter hadn't even stopped when, in the next instant—"CRACK!"—his left cheek suffered an incredibly violent impact. His neck twisted at a grotesque angle, and his entire body was sent flying with tremendous force!

"BOOM!"

Silver Armor was hurled thousands of meters away, only stopping after smashing through a large stretch of ruins.

But in the blink of an eye, Chen Xuanba was already upon him again!

His black fist, carrying devastating killing power, hurtled straight toward Silver Armor's skull!
