Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies Chapter 1609: One Sniper Shot

By the time that Black-White Commander sensed the arrival of danger, it was already impossible for him to react as swiftly as Silver Armor had.

After all, who could possibly imagine that an attack launched at midnight under the cover of dense darkness, carried out in the form of a small unit operation, would be met with enemy fire from a distance of two hundred li away!

Yet that black light, like the scythe of the Grim Reaper himself, brought with it a sense of mortal crisis the instant it appeared before his eyes!

The Black-White Commander instinctively raised both arms to shield himself, and a twisted spatial force quickly materialized around him.

But the very next moment—

"Pfft!"

He never even had the chance to use his ability. All of his defenses were like paper, and his body, along with them, was pierced clean through by a single shot from the City Defense Sniper!

After that black line tore through his body, it rapidly expanded, blasting a massive hole five or six dozen centimeters in diameter straight through his chest! His internal organs were utterly destroyed, and even the five Azure Armor warriors behind him were instantly killed by the residual force of that single shot!

A Black-White Commander with an ability index of a full 15,000 points, killed by a single sniper shot from Zhang Yi!

After securing his kill, Zhang Yi quickly began recharging the City Defense Sniper for a second shot.

This type of super-massive city defense weapon had a somewhat slower charging speed, with a five-second interval between each firing.

Moreover, that was already the absolute limit. If fired continuously, even the barrel forged from Yi Metal would deform under the immense power it could not withstand.

But that was the thing Zhang Yi cared about least.

A damaged weapon could always be reforged. As long as he could kill the enemy in the most effective way possible, everything could be sacrificed except the lives of himself and his companions!

The Black-White Commander's body plummeted straight down from the sky toward the sea, and two Azure Armor warriors immediately flew over to catch his corpse.

It was at that moment they saw the enormous hole in the Black-White Commander's chest and knew there was no saving him.

Silver Armor's pupils constricted sharply. They hadn't even reached enemy territory, yet they had already been attacked in advance and lost a capable deputy commander. This infuriated him to no end!

He knew that launching an attack from such a great distance would inevitably give the humans time to react and prepare their defenses.

Moreover, the objective of this mission was extremely important.

That was precisely why he had brought two White Chariot-level deputies along with him this time.

But who could have imagined that he hadn't even gotten close to that seaside city before one of his deputies was already dead in battle!

"So this is the one who killed the scout Zeng Yi?"

Silver Armor's mind raced, and he quickly devised a counter-strategy.

"Everyone, spread out! Charge at that human city with maximum speed!"

"Xuanfu, stay close to my side!"

Xuanfu was his only remaining deputy.

Since the enemy possessed a long-range heavy attack weapon and had chosen to prioritize eliminating his subordinates, then he would simply use the mass of ordinary soldiers as bait to draw the enemy's fire.

And with Xuanfu by his side, he still had the ability to protect this important combat asset.

"Once we make landfall," Silver Armor's eyes blazed with surging killing intent, "we slaughter every living creature in that city!"

Mere humans dared to kill his cherished subordinate. He would have to vent his fury through a massacre of the entire city!

Over a hundred Azure Armor warriors dispersed through the air in an instant, then surged toward the coastline of Tianshui City.

Meanwhile, the Black-White Commander Xuanfu retreated several meters back in the air, staying close behind Silver Armor.

They advanced at even greater speed, projecting an aura of utter destruction.

But Zhang Yi paid it no mind at all. At a time like this, this was simply a war of life and death!

Either the enemy would be wiped out to the last, or Tianshui City, and even the entire Jiangnan Region, would be completely destroyed!

Securing a kill on a White Chariot-level Black-White Commander with his first shot was well within his expectations.

If he couldn't even manage that, then his current strength would have become a complete joke!

However, he also knew that trying to take down another Black-White Commander was no longer realistic.

So the next moment, he aimed the barrel directly at Silver Armor!

"Before you get close to Tianshui City, I'll drain your effective strength as much as possible!"

In any siege battle since ancient times, the defending side always held the advantage of terrain. During the time it took Silver Armor to reach Tianshui City, he would be forced to passively defend against Zhang Yi's attacks!

Once ten seconds had passed, the City Defense Sniper's second round finished charging!

[Tracking of All Things] locked onto Silver Armor's trajectory, and the shot was fired immediately!

The dark black light pierced through space once more, streaking toward Silver Armor's chest! Its speed was almost unimaginable, crossing the vast distance in an instant to arrive before him!

The moment Silver Armor saw it, his first thought was to dodge. But while already flying at high speed, suddenly changing direction felt almost as if his movements had been predicted.

Silver Armor decided not to evade after all. Otherwise, the Black-White Commander behind him would very likely be hit!

He extended his right arm, clenching his fist in the air. A surge of powerful lightning condensed in his palm, the blazing white electric light seeming to boil over, radiating an unstable, terrifying aura.

Facing the rapidly approaching black light, Silver Armor had no time to hesitate. He chose to clench his fist and hurl a devastating punch straight at the black light!

"BOOM!!!"

Above the ocean, like a thunderclap, the terrifying electric current exploded against his fist. The sea below, unable to withstand the sheer force of this immense energy, roared as waves surged skyward!

The black light slammed violently into that powerful current. Two completely different forces collided, and Silver Armor's expression turned extremely grim.

He felt as if his fist had smashed into a colossal mountain forged from metal!

Even he was subjected to an immense crushing pressure, his right fist's bones creaking and groaning under the strain.

"BOOM!!!"

The two forces erupted, and Silver Armor, as the one directly bearing the brunt of the impact, was actually blasted flying backward!

"Splash—"

His body crashed onto the sea surface, skidding thousands of meters across the water, sending waves over a hundred meters high into the air!

Only then did he finally come to a stop, before rising back up into the sky.

He took a deep breath and instinctively glanced down at his right fist.

The exquisite silver armor plating covering his fist had shattered, revealing his bloody, exposed knuckles!

"He does have some real strength! It seems the intelligence was wrong. The enemy is a Transcendent capable of launching ultra-long-range attacks."

"But based on the situation earlier, he can't use this ability without limits. There's an interval between attacks."

"In that case, as long as I block the next few strikes and get close to his main body, the fight will enter my rhythm!"

Silver Armor clenched his fist, his gaze cold and piercing as he stared at the distant coastline.
