The Colombia naval fleet at Neon Harbor was devastated by an attack from the Mist Valley forces, suffering catastrophic losses and the destruction of nearly all its warships. Cadillus, the fleet's commander, lost an arm in the battle. Meanwhile, Zhang Yi secured a victory in Tianshui City, but remained concerned about the return of the Black Armor and the lifting of restrictions on powerful underground beings.

Zhang Yi directly absorbed the Essence of Silver Armor.

Before long, his strength would be able to leap to yet another level.

As for the Essences of the two Black-White Commanders, he had also collected them, but he did not use them himself.

The Essence of White Chariot-level Transcendents, while it would still provide him some growth, was not particularly significant.

So he directly distributed the Essences of the two Commanders to Huahua and Liang Yue.

The girl and the cat were overjoyed. Essences of the Epsilon-class level were not so easily obtained.

"Do not let your guard down. Perhaps before long, we will face a new wave of attacks!"

Zhang Yi said this to them.

Everyone was awakened by Zhang Yi's words, and they all nodded, expressing that they would strengthen the vigilance of the entire Tianshui City.

Just at that moment, a communication from Zhu Zheng came through.

Zhang Yi smiled faintly. This old fellow calling now could only mean he wanted to say some meaningless pleasantries.

Zhang Yi connected the call, and Zhu Zheng's beaming, brilliant smile immediately appeared before him.

"Zhang Yi, hahaha! This time, you've really made our Jiangnan Region shine!"

"Well done! This time, we completely annihilated the invading alien enemy forces. From now on, the whole world will have to look at us in a new light!"

Having said this, the smile on Zhu Zheng's face suddenly faded somewhat.

"But... the other regions aren't going to have it so easy."

The Jiangnan Region had achieved a great victory, and Zhu Zheng was certainly happy.

But the six major regions of the Huaxu Nation were interconnected; when one prospered, all prospered, and when one suffered, all suffered.

They usually had their competitions, but those were just quiet rivalries between brother regions, healthy competition.

But when the lips are gone, the teeth feel the cold. The other regions suffering heavy losses was not a good thing for the Jiangnan Region either.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zheng's mood naturally became somewhat heavy.

Zhang Yi was silent for a few seconds, then merely said lightly, "I warned them back then that danger could descend at any moment. They chose not to take my words seriously. Now that they've suffered such losses, they have no one to blame but themselves."

Back when he had killed Ruan Ping, Zhang Yi had already discussed with the leaders of the major regions about how to deal with the possible invasion of the unknown civilization.

But at that time, they felt it was Zhang Yi's personal problem and hadn't paid too much attention.

That was why they were attacked one by one and suffered enormous losses.

Only Zhang Yi, relying on thorough preparations made in advance, managed to fight an almost perfect battle!

If the other regions had also made preparations in advance, then the result now would definitely not be like this.

Zhu Zheng also let out a long sigh. "The world is full of surprises!"

After all, in the three years since the apocalypse, this was the first time the surface nations had suffered a large-scale invasion from the underground civilization.

No one could predict the future, right?

"By the way, you must have suffered considerable losses in this battle as well. Whatever supplies you need, just say the word. The warehouses of Blizzard City will be opened to you without any reservation!"

This time, Zhu Zheng was quite generous.

The lessons learned from the other regions were right there in front of him.

The invasion of the Mist Valley forces was aimed at wiping them out.

So if any problem arose on Zhang Yi's side, Blizzard City would be one hundred percent destroyed as well!

Zhang Yi didn't stand on ceremony with Zhu Zheng either. "I'll go over to collect the supplies myself."

"Then, what about personnel? Our Blizzard City now has five hundred thousand Yan Cloud Guards, and they can come over to help!"

After a long period of recovery and growth, Blizzard City had gradually expanded, and the number of Yan Cloud Guards had increased as well.

Zhang Yi shook his head. "I don't need personnel. Ordinary people or low-level Transcendents are useless in a war of this scale."

Even if they were sent over, they could only serve as laborers for Zhang Yi.

But Zhang Yi didn't trust outsiders.

If Ruan Ping had been able to infiltrate as a mole back then, who could guarantee there were none in Blizzard City?

At this point, Zhang Yi already believed that it wasn't just Tianshui City that had a Ruan Ping; all six major regions of the Huaxu Nation probably had moles sent by the Wuluan Empire.

Otherwise, how could they strike straight at the heart of each major region the moment they made their move? And why were their operations so orderly, with even their retreats executed without the slightest hesitation?

Even without considering the aliens, Zhang Yi wasn't completely at ease with Zhu Zheng either.

The chance that this old fellow would take the opportunity to send people over to scout out Tianshui City's intelligence was one hundred percent.

Zhu Zheng nodded. "Since that's the case, then we'll do as you say."

Zhang Yi ended the communication with Zhu Zheng.

He thought about it and decided he couldn't be bothered to make the trip himself. He directly said to Yang Xinxin, "Draw up a list for Blizzard City. Have them deliver whatever materials we need themselves."

Yang Xinxin nodded. "Alright, brother. I'll arrange it right away. Then... let's just have them send over all the supplies!"

Yang Xinxin's tone was utterly calm.

Zhou Ke'er and the others nearly fell to the ground because of her words.

Baili Changqing also broke out in a cold sweat. "Miss Yang, all the supplies... isn't that a bit of a joke?"

Yang Xinxin said lightly, "Tianshui City is what allows them to exist. Those weapons, ammunition, and various supplies are what they owe us."

Of course, when Yang Xinxin said "all," by the time it reached Blizzard City, they would certainly hold some back.

However, the amount of supplies sent over definitely wouldn't be small.

Zhang Yi called Lu Keran over.

"Keran, right now the Tianshui Fortress is our most important asset. I want you to do something!"

Lu Keran straightened her back. She was 21 years old now, and the young girl's figure had developed quickly over these three years, having begun to fill out considerably.

"Yes, big brother!"

Zhang Yi smiled. "It's nothing too troublesome. I just want you to separate the entire shelter from the ground!"

Zhang Yi picked up a teacup from the table. "Just like this, so it can rise up and leave at any moment."

Lu Keran blinked her big eyes. "Big brother, you mean, at any time we can use dimensional space to pack up the shelter and take it with us, right?"

Zhang Yi nodded.

"Exactly right!"

He took a deep breath. "Although we won this round, judging by the attack posture of the Mist Valley races, they will definitely make their next move."

"If the Gatekeeper of the Underworld also makes his move, with our strength alone, we won't be able to stop him."

Speaking up to this point, Zhang Yi suddenly revealed a brilliant smile, curling his thumb and pointing it at himself.

"However, when it comes to running away, I'm still very confident I can pull it off!"

With strength approaching the Bishop Level, if he went all out to flee, among all the Transcendents he had encountered so far, aside from Bai Longzi who could affect his spatial abilities, there was no one who could stop him now.

Lu Keran nodded.

"That part is easy to accomplish! We just need to use Yi Metal to separate the entire foundation from underground."

Fatty Xu curiously leaned in. "Boss, are we planning to run away?"

"Running away is certainly one option. We must consider the consequences of defeat. But," Zhang Yi took a deep breath, raised his head, and looked out the window, "before that, I want to have a try first."

As a Black Chariot-tier Transcendent, his strength was absolutely among the top ranks in the entire Huaxu Nation.

If even he chose to run away, then the whole Huaxu Nation would truly be in grave danger.
