Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies-Chapter 632: Ice Dancer
Chapter 632 – Ice Dancer
Zhang Yi generously offered to treat them, which prompted Liang Yue to lean over and whisper in his ear, “Do we even have any money?”
In Blizzard City, “money” referred to points, which only local residents could earn through work or missions.
Naturally, Zhang Yi had none. He was relying on rationed supplies just to eat here.
Zhang Yi curled his lips. “It’s fine—I’ve got a friend!”
He was referring, of course, to Baili Changqing.
That guy was now a captain in the Investigation Team, swimming in points.
Plus, he owed Zhang Yi big time. Booking a private room and drinks under his name would be no problem.
But Chen Xiaoxiao and Peng Li smiled and politely declined Zhang Yi’s offer.
“Drinks can wait. How about we head to your room for a proper chat instead?”
Even though they were faction leaders, the two of them still kept their guard up—especially about drinking with a man they’d just met.
Still, their suggestion couldn’t help but come off... questionable.
Your room… to chat.
Even Zhang Yi’s mind couldn’t help wandering.
What, are you into me or something?
Peng Li noticed his expression looked off and snapped a little, “It’s not what you’re thinking! It’s just—we don’t really have any other place to go right now!”
As outsiders to the city, they weren’t familiar with the area, and finding a quiet, discreet place to talk wasn’t exactly easy.
Zhang Yi scratched his head. “My bad, my bad. Alright then, let’s go with that.”
So the four of them headed to the elevator, on their way to Zhang Yi’s room for a proper sit-down.
After they left, other superhumans began trickling out of the meeting room as well.
Team Two’s captain, Zhuo Feiyu, didn’t say much to his teammates either.
Everyone knew—getting these proud and independent types to obey was going to be tough.
It would take more than a few words to earn their respect.
“Zhuo Feiyu!”
A low voice called out just as he was about to leave.
Zhuo Feiyu’s eyes flicked back. Behind him stood Yu Zhengyang—the grizzled veteran from Xichuan.
“What is it?” Zhuo Feiyu asked coolly.
Yu Zhengyang stopped a few meters away and said flatly, “I won’t say much about Zhu Shuai’s team assignments. But let me give you a heads-up—don’t think that just because you’re the team leader, you can boss us around.”
His eyes glinted coldly.
“And if you ever try something stupid, don’t expect me to follow you!”
Zhuo Feiyu shot him a glance and replied calmly, “Do as you like.”
“Hmph. You bet I will.”
With that, Yu Zhengyang turned and walked off.
And it wasn’t just them. The situation in Team Three wasn’t looking too great either.
Clearly, none of them had any real respect for the so-called “team leaders.”
These people had fought their way through the apocalypse on their own terms.
They had their own codes. Taking orders from someone else? Not likely.
Zhu Zheng and the others were well aware of this, too.
But right now, Moon of Corrosion had to be dealt with. That meant deploying these powerful lone wolves.
What happened on the battlefield would depend on their ability to adapt. HQ would be monitoring remotely anyway—no fear of things spiraling out of control.
Compared to the others, Zhang Yi’s team was actually the most harmonious.
Chen Xiaoxiao and Peng Li followed him back to his room.
Zhang Yi flopped down into the comfiest seat on the couch, while Liang Yue sat on the armrest, holding her Loong Roar Sword.
Chen Xiaoxiao and Peng Li dragged over two chairs and sat across from Zhang Yi.
Peng Li crossed one leg over the other. Because the chair was higher than the sofa, she looked down at Zhang Yi from above.
Her eyes were filled with undisguised arrogance—a warning not to think he could order them around.
Zhang Yi couldn’t care less.
These so-called teammates—if they were helpful, fine. If not, he didn’t need them.
But if they wanted to fight alongside him, they’d better fall in line.
“Alright, no one else is around. Let’s talk properly.”
Zhang Yi stroked Hua Hua’s fur and smiled at them.
Chen Xiaoxiao also smiled and said, “Since these teams were assigned by the District, let’s follow protocol.”
“We all know the superhumans in Moon of Corrosion are incredibly powerful. Some may even be stronger than any of us.”
Zhang Yi just smiled without saying a word.
Chen Xiaoxiao continued, “Which is why we need to work together, to stay alive and actually complete the mission.”
“So at the very least, we need to know each other’s abilities. That way we can cooperate more effectively when the time comes.”
She spread her arms. “I suggest we all share our powers. And to show I mean it, I’ll go first—if you agree, of course.”
Liang Yue glanced at Zhang Yi, waiting for his call.
Zhang Yi smiled lightly and nodded without hesitation. “Sure, sounds good to me.”
Even if they all revealed something, no one would really give away their full hand.
He knew Chen Xiaoxiao and Peng Li probably wouldn’t either.
Chen Xiaoxiao gave a faint smile. “Alright, I’ll introduce myself first!”
She placed a hand over her chest. “My ability is called Ice Dancer. I’m an Enhancement-type superhuman, and I studied Brazilian battle dance for ten years—so in combat, I specialize in kick-based techniques.”
She then gestured to the woman beside her.
“Peng Li’s ability is called Priest—she’s an Emission-type superhuman.”
“As the name implies, her power is support-focused. She can boost people’s basic physical attributes significantly, and heal injuries.”
“If it’s not a fatal wound, she can usually heal it pretty fast.”
Zhang Yi glanced at Peng Li.
So these two were a combo.
A powerful close-combat Enhancement-type backed by a support-type healer—a perfect pairing.
Peng Li’s ability reminded him of a toned-down mix between Xing Tian's Legion and Zhou Ke’er’s Doctor Ability.
But if someone could provide both boosts and healing to one person, the result could be a 1 + 1 > 3 kind of synergy.
Zhang Yi could tell they weren’t being fully transparent.
The most obvious clue was Chen Xiaoxiao’s own ability.
Ice Dancer—those words didn’t actually show up in her description of what she could do.
Zhang Yi gave a faint smile. “Guess it’s our turn, then!”
“I’m Zhang Yi. Trait-type superhuman. My power is spatial.”
“Codename: Dimensional Space. I can open spatial dimensions to store items and defend myself, and I can also use the Dimensional Gate for teleportation.”
When he finished, Chen Xiaoxiao and Peng Li’s faces grew visibly serious.
“Spatial-type…!”
