Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies Chapter 1673: Transfer Everything

It was night, dark and windless.

Zhang Yi should have gone to bed early, but for some reason, he had been unable to fall asleep.

Standing in the bedroom, gazing out at the black night sky, he had a feeling that something would happen tonight.

Recently, he had never taken off his clothes when going to bed.

Every night, he stayed ready for battle. Fortunately, he had long since grown accustomed to this kind of life. After all, he had been through so much since the apocalypse began, and it had truly tested him.

With him leading the way, everyone else in the shelter had followed suit, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

Countless satellites around the world were keeping a close eye on the skies above Mist Valley on Star Island.

From the distant reaches of space, they were monitoring the area with the utmost precision.

Now that they knew the enemy would appear here, reconnaissance had become much easier.

The power of modern technology was far from useless.

Midnight, when the darkness was deepest, was also when they believed the Wuluan Empire’s army was most likely to appear.

At the Huaxu Nation’s satellite monitoring station, alarms suddenly blared. Every staff member stared intently at the giant screen before them.

They saw an immensely powerful storm suddenly burst out of the dense fog, sweeping everything aside!

Even though they knew humanity was on guard, the people of the Wuluan Empire could not be bothered to conceal their arrival in any way this time.

They were showing off their military might, because this time, the Grand Marshal of the Wuluan Empire was leading the expedition in person!

Countless factions captured the news at the same time.

Across the ocean, in Wiler District, Franklin State, Colombia, the holographic projections of political representatives from every state immediately gathered together.

“Have they appeared? The monsters from beneath the earth?”

“This is the first confrontation between humanity and creatures from the Underground Civilization. I can’t help worrying about how it will turn out!”

Their expressions were grave, one and all.

Although they had been rivals with Huaxu Nation before, now that humanity was facing a threat from beyond its own kind, no one wanted Huaxu Nation to lose this battle.

Because that would mean all of human civilization was about to face an immense crisis!

Far away in Europe, at the Orthodox Church’s headquarters in the Vatican.

In the middle of the night, Pope Alexander X had already gone to bed. He received the news in his sleep.

A meaningful look appeared on his aged face, and his wrinkled lips slowly curled into a smile.

Then he actually pressed his hands together and murmured indistinctly, “This is how all living beings will atone for their sins! The divine will ultimately show humanity mercy through destruction. Only those who faithfully believe in the Lord may enter heaven!”

……

Next door to Huaxu Nation, the leaders of the Brahmin Alliance received the news, and every one of them beamed with excitement.

“Excellent! This time, Huaxu Nation is going to suffer a devastating blow!”

“From now on, no matter how the battle goes, we’ll be the only superpower left in Asia!”

“Once their people have been killed, that land will become part of the Brahmin Alliance!”

The Brahmin officials celebrated together.

But among them, one man wore a worried frown.

Not everyone had been blinded by short-term gains. The high-caste official before them realized that if Huaxu Nation were struck by the Underground Civilization, then Brahmin, which bordered Huaxu Nation, might well suffer the same attack before long.

He understood all too well that when the lips are gone, the teeth grow cold.

But as he watched the officials around him celebrate, he ultimately kept his mouth shut.

Most people were caught up in the thought of their imagined enemy being defeated. Not one of them stopped to consider what the real threat to them was.

……

Huaxu Nation. The alarms sounded across every major district at once.

Zhang Yi’s eyes sharpened in an instant, and he clenched the fist behind his back.

“I just wonder where they’ve chosen to attack.”

“Could it be Tianshui City?”

But the next moment, he still turned around without hesitation. Zhou Ke’er was right behind him, and they entered the living room together.

Everyone had gathered immediately.

Zhang Yi wasted no words. Following the plan they had rehearsed countless times, he said, “Move out!”

Mu Yan immediately opened her Shadow Space and took everyone into the dimensional space, except Zhang Yi, Huahua, and Liang Yue.

Then she went outside and brought in everyone inside the spherical fortress as well.

These people were all elites Zhang Yi had selected in advance from various shelters.

They included the official members and reserves of the Shadow Troop, as well as elite scientists, engineers, chemists, and agricultural experts.

There were more than a thousand of them in total.

As for everyone else, Zhang Yi had no time to protect them. All he could do was have them hide in an underground refuge one or two hundred meters below the surface.

There, even if Love of Death struck, they would be able to survive.

But if a war really did break out with Tianshui City at its center, battles between the many Epsilon-class Transcendents could still kill them.

There was little Zhang Yi could do. He could only try to save some of them and preserve a spark of life.

After finishing this, he and the others rose into the air.

Beneath them lay the enormous Tianshui Fortress.

Zhang Yi used his smart device to issue an order.

“Transfer mode, activate!”

The earth beneath them rumbled and shook!

The enormous base began to rise slowly, lifted from its very foundations!

As it turned out, even back when he was building the shelter, before it became a fortress, Zhang Yi had already considered the possibility of moving the entire structure.

He had thought far ahead, even taking into account the possibility that the glaciers might melt in the future and submerge Tianshui City.

That was why, from the very beginning, he had wanted a shelter that could move.

The later-built Tianshui Fortress inherited this feature. It was not permanently fixed underground.

Once the mechanism was activated, the entire fortress was lifted up.

Zhang Yi activated his dimensional-space ability. Manifold Phenomena unfurled, transforming into a gigantic Dimensional Gate that slowly drew the entire Tianshui Fortress inside!

That’s right. The battle had not even begun, and Zhang Yi had already prepared to escape.

As for the Tianshui City Cannons and the City Defense Sniper, with satellite-guided space-based weapons from Shengjing district and East China Sea Major Region available to replace them, they were no longer essential.

The enormous Tianshui Fortress slowly sank into the dimensional space.

Among the three thousand Dimensional Gates, Zhang Yi concealed it in the deepest place to keep it from being damaged in the battle to come.

Then he sent a message in the Huaxu Nation wartime group chat.

“Chaos, Xuan Nü, Qiongqi. Combat preparations complete!”
