Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies

Chapter 440: Leap

Chapter 440: Leap

Witnessing this horrifying scene, even Liang Yue couldn't help but gasp in shock.

This was her first time seeing the power of Divine Power so closely.

Previously, Zhang Yi had used it once on the battlefield, but that time it was specifically to instantly kill a single Superhuman opponent.

This time, however, it wiped out at least 500 zombies, including the Bronze Armored Zombie, in one strike!

After the Bronze Armored Zombie was killed, only a few regular zombies and giant rats remained in Liang Yue's direction.

Fatty Xu froze for a moment before bursting into arrogant laughter.

"Ha! You useless things, watch me roast you all alive!"

Holding his flamethrower, he swaggered forward and began systematically torching the enemies.

On the other side, Uncle You gained the upper hand with Hua Hua's help.

Although the massive Bronze Armored Zombie wasn't immediately taken down, its supporting giant rats and zombies were mostly eliminated.

After finishing off the regular zombies and rats, Hua Hua turned to assist Uncle You in taking down the Bronze Armored Zombie.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yi sealed the other two passages with Dimensional Gates, leaving the zombie horde trapped behind them.

The zombies behind the gates could only watch helplessly as Zhang Yi slaughtered their kind, unable to come to their aid.

The situation on the battlefield took a dramatic turn, with Zhang Yi's group securing a major victory.

Even Liang Yue, usually so reserved, couldn't help but say to Zhang Yi, "Your strength is truly terrifying."

"I dare say that right now, across all of Tianhai City, no Superhuman could survive a strike from your Divine Power without preparation!"

Zhang Yi, however, merely smiled faintly.

"What's the big deal? For me, this is just basic stuff."

He then turned cautiously toward the west.

"It's too soon to relax. I think our real opponent is nearby. I'm still waiting for him to show up."

Though the Bronze Armored Zombies seemed to possess some intelligence and were far stronger than regular zombies, they certainly weren't the Zombie King.

If they failed to locate the Zombie King today, this mission could not be considered a total success.

No matter how many zombies or even powerful Bronze Armored Zombies they killed, it wouldn’t stop the Zombie King from creating more underlings.

As if in response to Zhang Yi's words, the zombies began gathering in the two passages that weren’t sealed.

From the depths of the tunnel, familiar heavy footsteps echoed.

In both directions, three more Bronze Armored Zombies emerged.

They stood there, coldly staring at Zhang Yi and his group with icy eyes.

Their elongated, insect-like bodies twisted grotesquely, a sight that was both disgusting and terrifying.

The despair they exuded caused everyone's morale to plummet.

"How could this be? Just how many of these monsters are there?"

Zhang Yi's Divine Power was a fearsome ability, but it consumed enormous energy.

At his current level, he could use it five times consecutively, but each usage required a cooldown period.

If the six Bronze Armored Zombies charged again, their current strength would be insufficient to hold them off!

Fatty Xu nearly collapsed in terror.

"We’re doomed. What now?"

The zombies didn’t give them time to think.

The next moment, six Bronze Armored Zombies, accompanied by hordes of regular zombies and giant rats, charged toward them.

"Are we going to die here?" Fatty Xu shrieked in panic.

Zhang Yi’s expression grew even grimmer.

He sighed softly.

"It seems this zombie crisis is far worse than we imagined, and the mastermind behind it is even more terrifying."

"Even for me, this won’t be an easy battle."

As the group prepared to face the terrifying horde, Zhang Yi suddenly shouted to Uncle You and Hua Hua, "Come back quickly!"

The Bronze Armored Zombie they had been fighting was now in pieces. Unlike other zombies, its dismembered body didn’t writhe, hinting it might be a true organism rather than a virus-controlled host.

Hearing Zhang Yi’s call, Uncle You and Hua Hua quickly retreated to his side.

Zhang Yi then dismissed his Dimensional Gates, leaving all directions open for the zombie horde to surge toward them with furious roars.

But Zhang Yi calmly opened a new gate in front of him and said, "Follow me!"

With that, he stepped through the gate.

The others hesitated briefly before following Zhang Yi into the Dimensional Gate.

When the zombie horde reached the spot, their targets had vanished without a trace.

The confused zombies let out enraged, haunting roars as their prey disappeared into thin air.

Moments later, about dozens of meters above the subway tunnel, Zhang Yi and his group reappeared on the snowy surface.

"Whew, that was terrifying!" Zhang Yi patted his chest in relief, taking a deep breath of the cold air.

Even though he had known the situation wasn’t life-threatening, the experience was like watching a 3D horror movie—it still sent chills down his spine.

For anyone else in his place, the outcome would undoubtedly have been fatal.

Uncle You and Liang Yue emerged from the gate, momentarily stunned by the snowy scene before them. Realizing what had happened, they exclaimed, "Zhang Yi, is this a new ability of yours?"

Zhang Yi replied calmly, "Not exactly new. I’ve just developed a deeper understanding of Dimensional Gates."

Previously, Zhang Yi could only open a single gate. But as his abilities grew stronger, he learned to open a second gate.

Both gates connected to the same spatial dimension, allowing him to create a tunnel between them.

He now had the ability to traverse spaces within 300 meters, which was why he dared to venture into the treacherous subway tunnels.

Fatty Xu, who had nearly wet himself earlier, collapsed onto the ground, panting heavily.

"Boss, why didn’t you tell us about this ability earlier? Do you know how close I was to dying of fright?"

Zhang Yi chuckled, "I just wanted to surprise you."

He rarely revealed his abilities, even to his teammates—not out of distrust but out of caution.

Avoiding unnecessary exposure was his survival philosophy.

His expression then turned somber.

"To be honest, I hadn’t anticipated needing to use this ability today."

"This zombie crisis is far more complex and dangerous than we expected. Even now, I can’t predict how it will end."
