Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies Chapter 1644: Picking Someone Up

Yang Xinxin reminded Zhang Yi, "You must be extremely careful with that group of people! They're very powerful, but also very dangerous. It's said they worship Satan!"

Zhang Yi couldn't help but widen his eyes upon hearing this.

"Worship Satan? What kind of nonsense is that? That's just bizarre!"

Satan was the devil in monotheistic mythology, the King of Hell.

In the minds of ordinary people, he was the most evil and terrifying existence.

But the people of the Eye organization actually worshipped such a being? The more he heard, the more eerie it felt!

Yang Xinxin smiled faintly. "What's so strange about that? The difference between gods and devils is sometimes just a single thought apart. No one can say for certain which side represents justice."

"Brother, do you remember a concept we once proposed?"

"If myths and legends are all true, then the gods in those legends were ancient humans or other creatures who possessed extraordinary powers."

"Then why couldn't demons be the losers of the War of Gods?"

Zhang Yi felt this question was somewhat complicated. Most importantly, he wasn't particularly interested in it.

He never paid much attention to matters unrelated to his own interests.

"I understand. In any case, from now on I'll maintain a sufficient distance from that organization."

"Although they gave me a God Essence, I didn't ask them for it. They gave it to me voluntarily. So if they think they can use that as an excuse to demand things from me, I won't pay them any mind."

Zhang Yi was thoroughly shameless about it, refusing to carry any mental baggage.

Yang Xinxin nodded with gratification. "That's right, that's my good brother!"

...

After a whole day had passed, they finally worked out a relatively safe battle plan.

And the first step was for Zhang Yi to take Sky Swift Star Dai Sheng and rush across the entire nation, planting Star Cluster spatial coordinates at every key node across the six major regions.

Spatial transmission abilities were a fairly common skill among space-type Transcendents.

For instance, Zhang Yi's Spatial Shifting or Li Changgong's Boundless Across the Six Realms could both achieve similar effects.

It was just that Dai Sheng could cover a much larger range, enough to encompass the entire Huaxu Nation and multiple important locations.

Of course, it was impossible to plant spatial coordinates everywhere across the country.

Therefore, the locations chosen were all places that might come under attack.

For example, the capital cities of the six major regions, some important resource-point cities, and areas with relatively dense populations.

The Shengjing district contacted Zhang Yi directly, inviting him to come to Shengjing.

After all, Dai Sheng's spatial ability could only take effect after coordinates were set.

Before activating his ability, he wasn't much stronger than an ordinary person. He needed Zhang Yi to carry him quickly to various locations.

Zhang Yi didn't refuse, but considering he'd previously had conflicts with Shengjing, he was extra cautious this time and chose to bring Huahua along with him to Shengjing.

A distance of several thousand kilometers, and it didn't take him long to arrive.

Moreover, he only stayed outside Shengjing City and contacted Meng Yuanjun.

The north wind howled. The weather in the north was harsher than the south, and the temperature was even colder.

Outside the city, everything was covered in silver-white snow. In the middle of enormous snow-capped mountains lay a black asphalt road like a long serpent.

Zhang Yi stood outside the city, gazing up at Shengjing City, and spoke to Meng Yuanjun through the communicator, "I've arrived outside Shengjing City. Have your people come out!"

On the other end of the communicator, there was a long, long silence.

It was Meng Yuanjun's first time dealing with Zhang Yi. Although he had long heard that the Jiangnan Region's Chaos had cultivated the way of cowardice to the extreme, seeing it with his own eyes still left him dumbfounded.

Seriously, man, what kind of timing is this? You're even guarding against allies?

He didn't know that Zhang Yi's caution was only one aspect of it. On the other hand, Zhang Yi was truly too wary of Houtu Guan Longyue's ability.

According to what Deng Shentong had once mentioned, Houtu's ability was similar to a curse. Once she collected enough information fragments about a person, she could achieve certain death!

Even when facing monsters with ability indexes far higher than hers, this ability could accomplish cross-level kills.

Zhang Yi had no choice but to guard against it.

Even though both sides were on peaceful terms now, it was hard to guarantee there wouldn't be friction in the future.

That assassination attempt had left Zhang Yi with far too terrifying a warning. He would not tolerate anything that could possibly threaten him.

"Alright, I'll have them go see you immediately!"

Zhang Yi stayed outside Shengjing City, not even approaching the city gates, just quietly waiting for Dai Sheng to arrive.

Not long after, the gates of Shengjing City opened.

That alloy gate, even larger and heavier than Blizzard City's, rumbled open.

Facing the morning sun, a large group of people walked out from the city.

It was an extraordinary procession. The moment they appeared, they seemed like a company of divine soldiers walking down from the heavens, carrying a dazzling radiance.

Thirty-some people, formed into a group. They varied in height and build, with no strict formation, yet they all wore uniform deep cyan combat suits. On their chests were embroidered silver stars, one after another.

The Shengjing district's Transcendent force, the Thirty-Six Heavenly Spirits, all present!

And the one standing at the front of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Spirits, leading the group, wore a silver military coat and gold-rimmed glasses. He had a gentle smile on his face, yet his entire aura inspired awe.

Captain of the Dragon's Roar Guard, Ksitigarbha King Shang Daowen.

Zhang Yi's gaze sharpened, and his body instinctively readied itself for battle.

A force like this was almost the strongest elite in the entire Shengjing district, aside from Houtu and Zhen Yuanzi!

Zhang Yi thought they were coming for him.

But soon he relaxed his taut nerves slightly. As long as Houtu didn't appear, even ten Shang Daowens here couldn't keep him.

"Lord Chaos, it's been a long time! How have you been lately?"

Shang Daowen came to a stop not far in front of Zhang Yi, smiling politely as he greeted him.

"Not bad. Eating well, sleeping well. Just occasionally worried that someone's got their eye on my neck."

As Zhang Yi spoke, he rubbed his neck with his hand, casting a peculiar glance at Shang Daowen.

Shang Daowen of course knew that Zhang Yi was bringing up the matter with Houtu from before to poke at him, but he didn't take the bait. He merely smiled faintly.

Then he said, "You've truly worked hard! Defending the borders of the Huaxu Nation, garrisoning Tianshui City. If there were more heroes like you in the world, our Huaxu Nation could remain safe and sound even in the difficult apocalypse."

He spoke pleasantries quite fluently, but Zhang Yi didn't fall for it. He smiled and said, "I'm here to pick someone up. Which one is Sky Swift Star Dai Sheng?"

He looked behind Shang Daowen. "All of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Spirits are here? Was it really necessary to make such a big show of force?"
