Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies

Chapter 362: Borrowing a Knife



Wei Dinghai smiled coldly, “Wang Ruixuan is my trusted subordinate. If those guys from the Followers of the Snow God dare to kill him, I’ll make them pay tenfold!”

Xiao Honglian slightly raised the corner of her mouth, “Then let’s take this opportunity to teach them a lesson!”

After discussing, the two sides decided to launch an attack on the headquarters of the Followers of the Snow God located in the Tianfeng District!

As for whether the person who killed their subordinate was actually from the Followers of the Snow God, that was not the most critical issue at the moment.

They would deal with it after they struck first.

This was indeed a good approach.

Thus, for various reasons, the two major bases decided to gather forces to attack the Followers of the Snow God.

If the Followers of the Snow God found out about this, they would definitely be very frustrated.

Clearly, they had done nothing, yet they were suffering an undeserved disaster.

Meanwhile, the real culprit, Zhang Yi, was at home constructing defenses and the Shelter.

Everyone worked together, and no one was slacking off.

Soon, the outer defenses were basically completed.

The main structure was made from huge ice blocks intercepted from the Lu River and rebar confiscated from the Western Mountain Base warehouse.

The construction conditions were quite rudimentary, entirely relying on their manual labor.

However, in the freezing cold, these materials were nearly as strong as concrete.

The key was that the materials were inexpensive and could be found everywhere.

Zhang Yi didn’t expect the first line of defense to be invincible; it merely needed to serve as a buffer.

If a powerful enemy were to breach the first line, there was no need to feel distressed or worried, as it would buy everyone time to retreat to the Shelter.

After establishing the initial outline of the defenses, Zhang Yi began adding various tanks, armored vehicles, and artillery.

Modern weapons could be controlled via computer.

Once installed, they were connected to Zhang Yi’s phone through a wireless network.

This way, when enemies attacked, Zhang Yi only needed to press the firing button on his phone to create a spectacular scene of thousands of cannon fire!

“Thousands of cannons” might be a bit of an exaggeration.

However, with 70% of the firepower from the Western Mountain Base deployed, the impact was indeed terrifying.

In addition to the weapons, many cameras were installed high on the walls to monitor the outside situation at all times.

However, these devices could only be used for reconnaissance before a battle; once a fight broke out, they could be destroyed in an instant.

After laying out the defenses, it was time to repair the Shelter.

The materials were prepared by Lu Keran, and the renovation work was handed over to Uncle You, who had maxed out his living skills.

He climbed the scaffolding, picked up tools, and worked quickly on the masonry.

Although he wasn’t as skilled as professional builders and the walls weren’t particularly aesthetic, Zhang Yi only required them to be sturdy and durable.

After three busy days, the entire Shelter and defenses were finally completed.

Zhang Yi had originally been on guard against an attack from the two major bases, but with everything successfully finished, he felt considerably more relaxed.

However, this outcome wasn’t necessarily a good thing.

In a sense, if they discovered their superhumans had been killed, they would urgently bring people to search and attack the Shelter, indicating that the leader of that force was a reckless person.

Foolish individuals were easy to deal with.

What he feared was encountering a calm, rational opponent who would think things through and prepare countermeasures.

“So far, they haven’t taken any action, and I haven’t even detected any scouts.”

“It seems the leaders of Chaoyu and Yangsheng Bases are quite formidable!”

Zhang Yi muttered to himself, his expression serious.

What he didn’t know was that the two bases had already integrated their forces and were now far away in the Tianfeng District, seeking a fight with the Followers of the Snow God.

They weren’t overly cautious; they simply had no idea that a force like Zhang Yi existed.

While Zhang Yi was contemplating, others were celebrating the completion of the project.

Everyone felt a great sense of accomplishment working together to finish something.

In fact, many people didn’t have close relationships with each other; they had only gathered because of Zhang Yi.

However, through this activity, they became much more familiar with one another.

At that moment, Liang Yue approached Zhang Yi and said, “Zhang Yi, I’m going to deliver some food to the students.”

Zhang Yi came back to his senses, “Oh, okay.”

He took out food for ten people from his dimensional space, which he had found in the Western Mountain Base warehouse—food that he himself wouldn’t eat but had set aside to give to others.

Liang Yue took a bag of food, smiled, and said “Thank you,” then set off towards Xu Family Town by herself.

Zhang Yi watched her back, his eyes filled with a playful glint.

To be honest, he had been somewhat worried that if Liang Yue discovered his plan to deal with those students, she might turn against him.

So, Zhang Yi had long been prepared, letting Yang Xinxin and Lu Keran take on the role of the villains.

Recently, he had been acting like a good guy in front of Liang Yue.

Behind the scenes, he had also let Yang Xinxin and Lu Keran brainwash Liang Yue.

This way, if that day ever came, Liang Yue would have no reason to blame Zhang Yi, who had helped her.

“I really am a genius!”

Zhang Yi took a deep breath.

Using someone else’s knife to kill without getting his hands dirty was the perfect way to commit a crime.

After a while, Liang Yue returned.

From her expression, it was clear that she wasn’t in a good mood.

It was evident that those students had said something to her again.

But since Liang Yue didn’t bring it up, Zhang Yi wouldn’t ask either—after all, someone would naturally take care of that for him.

Sure enough, Yang Xinxin, being considerate, stepped forward and asked, “Teacher Liang, why does your face look so bad? Did they speak harshly to you again?”

Liang Yue, already feeling uneasy, found her emotions surging when Yang Xinxin pointed it out.

Many people were like this; they could quickly forget about unpleasant matters.

However, if someone brought it up, their emotions would become increasingly agitated.

Liang Yue recounted what had happened.

It turned out that in recent days, since Liang Yue had only delivered food and provided no further assistance, the students had begun to complain, yet they had to fish for food to survive.

As time passed, they were forced to be self-reliant.

The students managed to survive, but they didn’t thank Liang Yue; instead, they continuously begged her to let everyone stay in the Shelter.

At first, they pleaded, using moral coercion, but as they became desperate, some even resorted to cursing.

Even though Liang Yue had helped them so much, after the apocalypse, these once pampered students all began to show signs of psychological issues, forgetting even the kindness they had received in the past.

How could Liang Yue not feel sad upon seeing this?

“They’re going too far. I even think that Teacher Liang shouldn’t care about them anymore! Just let them die.”

Yang Xinxin held Liang Yue’s hand, speaking softly in a low voice, “Teacher Liang did nothing wrong; it’s all their fault. Even if you abandon them, you have no responsibility.”

Liang Yue’s mood lightened a bit, “Is… is that so?”

“No! Regardless, I’m still their teacher!”

She sighed softly.

After experiencing so much since the apocalypse, combined with the persistent brainwashing from Lu Keran and Yang Xinxin, her thoughts had quietly changed.

In her heart, she had already lost much hope for those students.

Only the last remnant of her obsession kept her from watching them die before her eyes.
