Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies

Chapter 530 – Zhang Yi’s Power

At Zheng Yixian’s command, over a dozen priests roared and charged at Zhang Yi and his group!

Zhang Yi had already discussed this with Liang Yue and the others. While no one had expected him to suddenly attack Zheng Yixian, they all understood that the Followers of the Snow God were a serious problem.

So, no one panicked. They simply took their battle stances and prepared to fight.

But this time, Zhang Yi did something unusual—he stepped ahead of the group.

Covering his right eye with one hand, he spoke calmly, “Enough. I don’t have time to waste on you.”

Then, he lowered his hand.

A faint white glow flickered in his right eye.

Everyone caught in his gaze suddenly felt the space around them twist and distort.

Splurt!Splurt!Splurt!Splurt!Splurt!Splurt!

Seven priests exploded mid-charge, their upper bodies bursting into a rain of blood and gore.

The remaining priests froze in sheer terror!

Even Han Chang, the most fearless among them, lost all courage. His legs refused to move.

Baili Changqing stared in stunned silence.

“…Ocular Technique.”

This was Zhang Yi’s first time unleashing Divine Power in front of outsiders.

During the Five Armies War, he had used it before, but back then, his control was still crude—he had only managed to use it for precise assassination, eliminating two fallen superhumans.

But now, his mastery was complete.

With a single attack, he had annihilated seven of the Snow God’s priests in an instant!

The sheer power of it left Xiao Honglian, Xing Tian, and Wei Dinghai utterly speechless.

Only now did they realize just how terrifying Zhang Yi truly was.

The claim that he was only good at defense and sniping but weak in close combat?

All lies.

Suddenly, Fatty Xu pointed into the distance and shouted, “Boss! That bastard Zheng is running away!”

Zhang Yi lifted his gaze—sure enough, Zheng Yixian had used the chaos as an opportunity to escape!

With his telekinetic ability, Zheng Yixian could levitate and move at high speed.

Zhang Yi’s eyes narrowed as he turned to Baili Changqing.

“This is bad. He’s going back to warn Yuan Kongye!”

“She’s the real threat. If we don’t take her out now, once the war breaks out, everyone here could die!”

Baili Changqing fixed his gaze on Zhang Yi. “Why should we believe you?”

Zhang Yi’s voice remained calm.

“You have nothing to lose by trusting me. Whether I’m telling the truth or not, you can see for yourself when we get there.”

“The elite warriors of Jiangnan District aren’t so easily fooled, are they?”

With that, Zhang Yi stopped explaining.

He summoned his Snow Vehicle and signaled his team to move out toward the Followers of the Snow God’s base.

As for Han Chang and the remaining priests—those lucky enough to survive—they were far too terrified to stop them.

Baili Changqing hesitated for a moment before speaking decisively.

“Let’s go. We’re going to see for ourselves.”

“Tianhai City’s situation needs to be settled once and for all.”

“We need to know what’s really happening here. We can’t let the captain’s death be for nothing.”

The investigation team immediately decided to follow.

Xiao Honglian, Xing Tian, and Wei Dinghai’s factions had the same thought.

So far, this matter didn’t directly concern them.

Since Zhang Yi was the one making accusations against the Followers of the Snow God, they might as well follow along and see what happened.

There was no risk to them.

One by one, they found suitable transportation and set out toward the Snow God’s base.

Meanwhile, Han Chang and the six remaining priests were left standing in place, watching as Zhang Yi and the others sped away.

One of the superhumans turned to Han Chang.

“What do we do? They’re heading straight for the church! Should we go after them?”

A female superhuman trembled. “But… that Zhang Yi… he’s a monster! He wiped out so many of us in an instant! The High Priest is already severely wounded—how can we stop him?”

Han Chang gritted his teeth.

“We are followers of the Snow God. If not for the Holy Leader taking us in and granting us power, we wouldn’t even be here today!”

“No matter what, we must return. If they want to fight, then we fight!”

With that, he turned and began searching the area.

After a while, he found a Snow Vehicle that had been abandoned by another faction.

Jumping inside, he glanced at the remaining priests.

“What about you? Are you coming or not?”

The priests exchanged glances.

Finally, two of them stepped forward and chose to follow Han Chang back to the base.

The other three, however, turned and left.

Han Chang shot them a cold glare but had no time to waste.

He revved the engine and sped off.

The three who remained behind let out a long sigh of relief.

A scruffy, bearded man muttered, “No matter who wins this fight, we’d probably die either way. Better to find another way to survive.”

“Han Chang and the others are loyal to Yuan Kongye and Zheng Yixian.”

“But we’re only loyal to ourselves.”

They saw the truth.

Regardless of whether Zhang Yi was telling the truth, his claims alone were enough to raise suspicion.

If Zhang Yi was right, and Yuan Kongye and Zheng Yixian had orchestrated everything…

Then those who had awakened their powers using Ice Soul were already marked for death.

Once they returned, their abilities would be taken from them—along with their lives.

And if Zhang Yi was lying?

That didn’t change the fact that Zhang Yi had already made up his mind to destroy the Followers of the Snow God.

Going back now meant facing Zhang Yi’s unstoppable force—and a near-certain death.

Running away was the only rational choice.

They should be grateful that Zhang Yi had injured Zheng Yixian.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have had a chance to escape at all.

“Let’s go. We can survive in this world just fine on our own.”

The bearded man exhaled a puff of cold air, took one last glance at the horizon, then turned to leave.

The other two hesitated only briefly before following him.

Tianhai City was almost devoid of survivors now.

But that also meant resources were no longer scarce.

A single supermarket, shopping mall, or warehouse could easily sustain them for years.

At the Followers of the Snow God’s Base – St. John’s Cathedral

Yuan Kongye knelt before the altar, devoutly praying.

Suddenly, she opened her bright, shining eyes.

Just moments ago, she had felt an incredibly powerful superhuman ability return to her body.

“…Whose power is this?”

“…Ocular Technique… this must have belonged to Bian Junwu, the investigation team’s captain.”

Her eyes flickered like distant stars before settling into a calm, serene expression.

Then, she smiled.

She could feel how powerful Bian Junwu had been.

But the next moment, her brows furrowed.

“Bian Junwu… is dead?”

“How could that be? Who in Tianhai City had the strength to kill him? Who would dare?”

Bian Junwu’s position was special—he represented the Jiangnan District.

His death would inevitably draw their attention.

A troubling development.

Yuan Kongye narrowed her eyes.

Something was going wrong.

She could feel it.

Things were starting to slip beyond her control.
