Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies Chapter 1634: Global Calls for Aid

Dai Sheng's ability was indeed extremely useful. As long as it was employed properly, it could concentrate the combat power of all six major regions together.

That way, they could more easily engage the enemy.

Moreover, with mutual support between regions, they wouldn't have to worry about their own headquarters being attacked by the opposing side.

Meng Yuanjun said with a smile, "The military strength among the six major regions is not balanced, and this time, our three major regions suffered almost no significant losses."

"So in the next war, we will bear the primary responsibility for engaging the enemy. Even if the other three major regions come under attack, we can provide rapid support."

As Meng Yuanjun spoke, his gaze turned toward Zhang Yi.

"Especially Chaos. Right now, your combat prowess ranks among the absolute top tier across all of Huaxu Nation! And you single-handedly eliminated three Epsilon-class Transcendents from the Mist Valley!"

"So in the upcoming operations, I hope you can serve as the main fighting force."

Li Changgong said, "This matter was caused by you, so of course you should bear the primary responsibility!"

"And if we're talking about responsibility, I've only been to Star Island once. Since then, it's been the East China Sea Major Region holding the line against the Colombia Ocean Fleet around Star Island."

"Responsibility? Heh."

Zhang Yi shot Li Changgong a cold glance. "My responsibility doesn't seem all that great. Gouchen, I can see your Northwest Major Region suffered heavy losses, and I don't want to rub salt in the wound. But do you really think I've just been letting you get away with this?"

"Don't provoke me!"

"I killed the Silver Armor Transcendent from the Mist Valley. Take a guess whether I can kill you too?"

Zhang Yi's words immediately made the atmosphere of the entire meeting grow tense and oppressive.

He hadn't wanted to deal with Li Changgong at all, but that guy kept pushing his luck, step by step. Zhang Yi wasn't about to indulge him any longer.

"You... how dare you say something like that in front of all the high-ranking officials from the major regions! You're simply lawless!"

Li Changgong said furiously.

He had originally intended to throw a tantrum, but on second thought, if he really did break things off with Zhang Yi, he truly wouldn't be able to win a fight against him.

Never mind winning.

With Zhang Yi's strength, he could storm straight into Chang'an City and take Li Changgong's head right off his shoulders.

"Alright, alright. Right now, a great enemy is at our gates. The six major regions should unite our strength and face the crisis at hand together! We absolutely must not have internal conflict."

Meng Yuanjun looked toward Li Changgong. "Gouchen, if another crisis arises in the future, your Northwest Major Region may very well need to rely on Chaos for assistance. Restrain yourself a bit!"

Li Changgong thought it over. Indeed, that made sense. He had no choice but to swallow his grievances and choke them back down.

Meng Yuanjun then said to Zhang Yi with a smile, "Chaos, the Northwest Major Region suffered devastating casualties, and Gouchen's state of mind isn't at its best right now. I hope you can understand and not hold it against him."

Zhang Yi said flatly, "I'm certainly a reasonable person."

He rubbed the back of his hand, then slowly spoke again, his tone deep and measured. "But there's still one most troublesome issue at hand. This is something that must be decided by the Shengjing district!"

A strange glimmer flashed through Meng Yuanjun's eyes.

"Oh? I'm all ears."

Zhang Yi slowly uttered a single name. "The Gatekeeper of the Underworld."

Xuanwu's expression changed on the spot.

Others might have only heard of that existence as a rumor, but only Zhang Yi and Xuanwu had truly faced that being who was like a demon god incarnate.

Two years ago, with a casual strike, that being had forced Zhang Yi, Xuanwu, and Cadillus to go all out just to barely escape with their lives.

Even to this day, just thinking about his power filled Zhang Yi and Xuanwu with immense dread.

Clearly, that one's strength was far above those Silver Armor Transcendents!

If the Gatekeeper of the Underworld were to make his move when the time came, who could possibly stand against him?

Zhang Yi stared at Meng Yuanjun. "If the Gatekeeper of the Underworld enters the fray, I definitely wouldn't be his match. When that time comes, we'll need to call upon the foundational pillars of Huaxu Nation, Houtu and the Ksitigarbha King, to step forward."

After the apocalypse, they were the earliest Epsilon-class Transcendents born in Huaxu Nation, and also natural ability users.

For a considerable period of time, Houtu had been hailed as the strongest Transcendent in all of Huaxu Nation.

Even though she had truly fought in person only a handful of times, she still instilled considerable fear in Transcendents from other major regions.

But as time went on, her subsequent appearances had been merely symbolic, and no one had ever seen her fight at full strength.

So Zhang Yi and the others were all curious. Just how strong was Houtu now?

Now that the entire Huaxu Nation was facing a crisis, there was no way she could continue hiding behind the scenes.

Zhang Yi's words caused everyone to turn their gazes toward Meng Yuanjun as well, clearly hoping that Houtu would come out and serve as the main force against the enemy.

Meng Yuanjun smiled slightly. "That goes without saying! When the time comes, no one will be able to stand aside."

"Furthermore, I have already issued a plea for aid in the name of Huaxu Nation to all major powers around the world. In the coming battle, we must give it everything we have and achieve victory in a single strike!"

"Only by deterring the forces beneath the Mist Valley can we ensure our peace and safety."

Li Changgong furrowed his brows.

"Appealing to those foreigners for help? Heh. They'd be more than happy to see us fall. How could they possibly lend a hand?"

Meng Yuanjun said, "If this were in the past, perhaps they wouldn't help. But right now, the situation is different."

"What we are facing is a common enemy of all humanity. If Huaxu Nation falls into trouble, it will be difficult for them to escape disaster as well."

Zhang Yi spoke up coolly. "In any case, leave these arrangements to you all! I will do everything in my power to contribute my combat strength once the war begins."

With death as the dividing line.

The moment he encountered an enemy he couldn't defeat, or sensed a fatal crisis, Zhang Yi would flee at the first opportunity.

At worst, he could unleash the Love of Death and let everyone else be buried alongside the Gatekeeper of the Underworld.

Zhang Yi also believed that the Love of Death was definitely a part of the plan.

Meng Yuanjun nodded. "As for the complete battle plan, in the time to come, we will work around the clock, utilizing all available resources to formulate the optimal strategy."

Zhang Yi turned his head and said softly to Yang Xinxin, "You're in charge of following up on this matter."

It wasn't that he didn't trust Meng Yuanjun and the others, but in operations like this, if you didn't stay closely involved, you might end up being placed in the sacrificial part of the plan. This was something Zhang Yi absolutely had to avoid.

Yang Xinxin nodded. "The entire action plan must go through our review. Only after we confirm there are no issues will it be executed."

For the next full day, the video conference continued nonstop.

Because no one knew when the war might break out again, everything had to be arranged as quickly as possible.

Meanwhile, the Shengjing district's plea for aid had also been sent to all forces capable of providing assistance.
