Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies-Chapter 1217: Settling Accounts

Chapter 1217: Settling Accounts

Bai Longzi was a white snake with a human head and a snake's body that had taken human form.

But the monster in Mist Valley possessed humanoid limbs, a massive frame, and a long tail.

This clearly did not match the image of a human head on a snake body.

Old You crossed his arms, his brow furrowed into a tight knot.

He asked in confusion, "If they truly were the divine race we worshipped in ancient times, then why did they gradually disappear from history? And why did they retreat underground?"

Zhang Yi said, "Could it be related to this apocalyptic disaster?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone felt as if they had been enlightened.

Did the divine race enter the underground world to seek refuge?

Yang Xinxin said coolly, "That doesn't make sense."

She explained to everyone, "We have already witnessed their formidable power and their technological capabilities that surpass human levels."

"If they could foresee the arrival of the apocalypse in advance, they could have easily coped with it."

She spread her hands, "Not to mention them, if we humans could have predicted this disaster twenty years in advance, we would have found a way for most people to survive."

Everyone chattered away, voicing their own thoughts.

Zhang Yi rubbed his forehead, "Unless we can communicate with the beings of the underground world, this question will probably be difficult to answer."

"Forget it, we'll consider this issue later."

"Let's head back first. I believe Shengjing must have relevant intelligence."

When it came to such esoteric fields, the state must have documented records.

If they could obtain materials from Shengjing for research, it would also help Zhang Yi understand this world more clearly.

"But right now, I need to have a good, thorough settling of accounts with them!"

The corner of Zhang Yi's mouth curled into a meaningful arc.

Although his gains from this underground expedition were the greatest.

Not only did he excavate a massive amount of the Elemental Stone Vein, but he also obtained the mysterious purple crystal.

However, he had to pretend to be extremely furious to maintain his cover.

Moreover, Shengjing had used him first, so it was only right for Zhang Yi to demand compensation.

Nevertheless, he still told Yang Xinxin, Zhou Ke'er, and the others to thoroughly research historical materials after returning.

Especially knowledge related to myths and the underground world; they should investigate everything carefully.

Everyone returned to Jingwei's Shadow Space. Zhang Yi, having adjusted his emotions by now, then headed towards Snow Dragon City.

Back in Snow Dragon City, the superhuman teams of the major factions immediately began treating their injuries upon their return.

Several Epsilon-level superhumans were severely wounded.

Against Bai Longzi's attacks, they had no power to resist whatsoever.

Fortunately, medical technology was advanced, and there were also healing-type superhumans present, allowing physical injuries to heal rapidly.

Even severe injuries involving severed limbs could achieve limb regeneration.

However, after this battle, the Epsilon-level superhumans from the Northwest Region and the Northeast Region were seething with fury inside.

Li Changgong and Han Shanzuo were beyond furious.

They had thought it was just a simple operation to exterminate two exotic insects, only to realize they had been used as pawns.

If Zhang Yi hadn't used his ability to get them out in the end, they would have basically died underground!

Especially Li Changgong. After learning of the Sky War God Cheng Lanlan's disappearance, his heart was filled with immense pain.

Cheng Lanlan's relationship with him was not ordinary; besides being his subordinate, she was also his lover.

Cheng Lanlan's disappearance in such a dangerous place almost certainly meant she had fallen in battle.

Li Changgong also placed the blame for Cheng Lanlan's death squarely on the Shengjing Region.

This was an account they would definitely settle with the Shengjing Region!

When Zhang Yi arrived at Snow Dragon City, his face was etched with a gloomy, angry expression.

The Dragon's Roar Guards' medical team came to offer him treatment, but he coldly refused.

Zhang Yi had no injuries on his body. He charged straight to where Zong Yue was and roared,

"Zhen Yuanzi, you motherfucker, get the hell out here!!"

A group of Dragon's Roar Guards blocked Zhang Yi's path, looking at each other in dismay.

They didn't have the guts to face the wrath of an Epsilon, and could only try to dissuade him.

"Lord Chaos, let's discuss this calmly. The Garrison Commander is still receiving treatment. Could you please wait until his treatment is finished before coming to talk?"

Zhang Yi didn't even glance at them.

At a time like this, the more furious he appeared, the more normal it was. Otherwise, people would become suspicious, thinking he had gained enormous benefits.

Meanwhile, Zong Yue, who was still receiving treatment, heard the voice, slowly closed his eyes, and let out a helpless, bitter laugh.

He pulled out the tubes inserted in his body and, under the care of several healing superhumans, walked out the door.

Zhang Yi stared coldly at Zong Yue and sneered, "Zhen Yuanzi, aren't you going to give us an explanation for today's events?"

Zong Yue, knowing he was in the wrong, lowered his head and sighed.

"This matter is our Shengjing's fault. However, at the beginning, we also didn't expect things to turn out like this."

Zhang Yi sneered, "That's no excuse for putting us in mortal danger! Do you have any idea how close we were to all dying down there!"

The commotion Zhang Yi caused drew Li Changgong and Han Shanzuo, who were not far away. They arrived with their people, fuming with anger. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

As Epsilon-level superhumans, despite their severe injuries, they could still move without hindrance.

The three of them came together, jointly pressuring Zong Yue.

Li Changgong gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot, "We came in good faith to help you solve a problem, only to be tricked by you! And you caused my beloved general to die a tragic death! You must give us a reasonable explanation for this matter! Otherwise..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but the threat in his words was clear.

Even the Shengjing Region couldn't bully people like this.

The combined wrath of three major regions was not something they were willing to bear.

Zong Yue said, "Everyone, we didn't anticipate any of this either. If we really wanted to harm you all, why would I have gone down with you?"

Hearing this, the fierce expressions on the three men's faces softened slightly.

Zong Yue was also severely injured, clearly indicating that the dangers of the underground world were beyond his expectations.

Han Shanzuo gnashed his silver teeth, "Heh, don't shirk responsibility here. No matter what, the fact remains that we almost died down there. Your Shengjing must give our three major regions a reasonable explanation!"

At this point, everyone could only strive for some compensation.

Fortunately, there weren't massive casualties, so things wouldn't truly break down.

Zong Yue invited the three men into a room and said with a good attitude of admitting fault:

"This incident was beyond our expectations. We will compensate for your losses."

Seeing Zong Yue's attitude, Zhang Yi and the other two didn't press further aggressively.

Zhang Yi sipped hot tea and asked lightly, "Zhen Yuanzi, tell us. What exactly did you discover in the underground world? After using us, you owe us at least the truth of the matter."
