Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies Chapter 1662: Environment

Yang Xinxin's words drew everyone's attention, and they all turned to look at her.

Zhang Yi's eyes lit up. Yang Xinxin's intelligence was extraordinarily high, and she always easily saw through problems that ordinary people could not perceive.

Since she said so, she must have a basis for it.

"Xinxin, what's your take on this?"

Zhang Yi asked.

Amid everyone's expectant and curious gazes, Yang Xinxin slowly spoke: "These recent attacks by the Mist Valley Transcendents, do you still remember when they happened?"

Zhou Ke'er immediately helped everyone recall: "The last one was at midnight, around 12 o'clock. The Shengjing district attack was also in that time window. Based on the intelligence they provided, roughly around 10 p.m."

Yang Xinxin said: "Exactly. The times they chose to act were basically all in the dead of night. And they all wore thick armor."

"Actually, judging from their combat strength, that kind of armor didn't provide much of a boost to them."

Yang Xinxin turned to look at Zhang Yi. "Brother, aside from your specially made battle armor, is there anything special about the combat suits that other regions' Epsilon-class Transcendents wear?"

Zhang Yi shrugged and said: "Their biggest function is actually insulation, plus they provide a fairly comprehensive set of features. But for Epsilon-class Transcendents, I'd say they only compensate for their individual deficiencies. They don't provide much of a combat boost."

Yang Xinxin snapped her fingers with a crisp pop: "Exactly. That's precisely it."

"So we can likewise judge that they, living in the underground world, are unable to adapt to the surface world's environment."

"Just as humans entering the deep sea or outer space must wear specially designed suits."

"Today's surface has extremely low temperatures, which are also difficult for them to adapt to quickly."

Lu Keran raised her own objection at this point.

"But I remember that during battle, some of the Mist Valley Transcendents had their armor destroyed, yet they were still able to keep fighting."

Yang Xinxin said: "That most likely has to do with their own supernatural ability attributes. Just like Strengthening-type Transcendents, who can withstand extreme environments."

Zhang Yi nodded: "That does make a lot of sense. So you're saying that when they rush up to the surface to attack us, they suffer greatly from environmental incompatibility?"

Zhang Yi thought for a moment, then suddenly shook his head: "That doesn't mean much. Never mind them, we ourselves have to wear combat suits to resist the extreme cold."

Without the protection of combat suits, Transcendents without physical enhancement abilities would absolutely be frostbitten or even frozen to death in the current outside environment.

Yang Xinxin smiled faintly: "Beyond that, there must be other factors. For example, ultraviolet radiation, or the air."

"Think carefully," Yang Xinxin slowly looked at Zhang Yi and the others, "why is it that less than two hours after battle broke out, even though several regions had achieved absolute superiority, they still chose to retreat?"

"Probably because their bodies can only sustain combat for that long in the surface environment."

She looked at Zhang Yi. "Brother, do you still remember that time we went to the underground Demon Kingdom in the Southwest Region?"

Zhang Yi nodded. Of course he remembered that period.

Although he hadn't spent long in Nash Kingdom, the memories it left him were exceptionally vivid, making him feel as though he had been there for months.

Because the environment was just too oppressive for him!

The light and oxygen concentration were completely different from the surface world. He had to use supplemental oxygen to maintain peak combat condition.

"But how do you explain Ruan Ping?" Zhou Ke'er furrowed her brow. "He was undercover in Tianshui City for a whole year. His daily behavior was no different from an ordinary person's."

Yang Xinxin explained: "Because he wore human skin. It was a kind of high-tech combat suit."

Yang Xinxin looked at Lu Keran, and Lu Keran looked back. The two exchanged a smile.

"After we killed Ruan Ping earlier, although his body was destroyed, we found some remnants at the battle site. Among them was the shattered human skin."

"Keran analyzed it, and the result was a kind of biosimilar synthetic skin. And one of its major functions is UV protection."

Zhang Yi suddenly raised his head. "UV protection? You mean those bastards from the Wuluan Empire are afraid of sunlight?"

Yang Xinxin nodded.

"Based on the intelligence we currently have, they indeed cannot adapt to strong ultraviolet radiation. Even if they aren't like the legendary vampires that fear UV light, they definitely can't handle an environment with strong UV."

She spread her hands. "After all, they've lived in the underground world for an unimaginably long time. They could never see the sun in the sky."

Zhang Yi's heart stirred. He propped his chin on his hand, pondering how likely Yang Xinxin's analysis was.

Yang Xinxin said bluntly: "Proving my hypothesis is actually very simple."

"Brother, how could you forget? We still have plenty of lizardfolk corpses in our hands. Just run experiments directly on their corpses, and won't we know?"

Zhang Yi slapped his forehead. "Right, how did I forget that!"

Not long had passed since that battle, and the entire Huaxu Nation was shrouded in the possibility of war breaking out again at any moment. Zhang Yi had even forgotten about dissecting those lizardfolk corpses to study their weaknesses.

Zhang Yi didn't hesitate. He immediately said to Zhou Ke'er: "Ke'er, I'll be counting on you these next few days!"

Zhou Ke'er nodded, her face full of joy: "We've finally found an opportunity to discover their weakness! I'll produce the experimental results as soon as possible!"

Zhang Yi opened his communication device and directly sent a message to the high-level group of all six major regions of the Huaxu Nation.

Telling them that he had lizardfolk corpses in his possession.

It was somewhat hurtful to say, but in this campaign, only Tianshui City had retained lizardfolk corpses.

In other regions, when the lizardfolk retreated, they had calmly taken away the corpses of their fallen warriors.

The major regions finally came to their senses and immediately dispatched people to Tianshui City to receive the lizardfolk remains and bring them back for study.

The first to arrive was, of course, Shengjing district's [Sky Swift Star] Dai Sheng. Having completed the Star Cluster layout across the entire Huaxu Nation, he could traverse between any regions at will.

Next to arrive was the envoy from Blizzard City.

The researchers from the scientific research department, as well as people from Deng's Biotechnology Company. Deng Shentong had come in person.

Upon seeing Deng Shentong, Zhang Yi couldn't help but look at him a couple more times.

He could sense that there was something extraordinary about this man before him.

Zhang Yi asked: "You've already reached Epsilon-class?"
