Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies

"Ahhh!!!"

The gym erupted in terrified screams. Everyone scrambled to the back of the gym, trying to escape. No one thought of Yang Xinxin, except for Lu Keran, who pushed her wheelchair as fast as she could.

A group of students reached the back door only to find it sealed shut. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t open it.

"Damn, it's frozen shut!"

"Open it, or we’re all dead!"

The students were pale with fear, some wetting themselves in panic. Meanwhile, the black monster had already entered the gym. Standing over ten meters tall, it was entirely black, its body covered in blood and grime. Its hair was as sharp as steel needles, completely blocking the gym's main entrance.

The monster held Zheng Yuncong, licking her for a moment before casually biting off her head.

"Splash—"

Blood gushed out like a fountain.

"Ahhh!!!"

The girls screamed, collapsing to the floor in terror. The boys frantically tried to open the back door, but it was frozen solid and blocked by tons of ice and snow, impossible to move.

The monster tossed Zheng Yuncong’s body aside and walked into the gym, blocking the door with its massive frame. It tilted its head, seemingly assessing the frightened students. They saw a mocking intelligence in its eyes, chilling them to the bone. This was no mindless beast but a sentient monster.

The students huddled in a corner, paralyzed by fear, unable to muster any will to fight. Suddenly, someone shoved Yang Xinxin, wheelchair and all, towards the monster. She fell forward, hitting the floor hard. The monster’s attention was immediately drawn to her, and it took a step closer.

"Xinxin!" Lu Keran screamed, her legs paralyzed with fear, unable to move. The monster loomed over Yang Xinxin, who lay helpless on the floor. Just then, the boys who had pushed her made a run for the door.

The monster's head turned slightly, its amber eyes locking onto them. Its mouth curled into a mocking smile.

"Smack!"

The monster's huge claw slapped down, instantly crushing two boys to the ground.

"Spurt!"

The slight pressure was enough to rupture their internal organs, causing them to vomit blood. Desperately, they tried to crawl away, unwilling to die. They were sons of wealthy families, destined for great futures. How could they die here?

Ignoring the motionless Yang Xinxin, the monster turned its attention to the fleeing boys. Its claws, sharp as knives, slashed at them, tearing their bodies open and splattering blood everywhere.

With the monster’s back turned, Lu Keran mustered her courage and rushed to help Yang Xinxin up. Wu Chengyu’s eyes lit up as he whispered to his friends, "I get it. The monster attacks moving targets. Yang Xinxin pretended to be dead and survived."

His friends nodded, realizing why Li Yong and Zhou Keqiang had died when they tried to run.

"So what do we do? Play dead?"

Wu Chengyu’s eyes turned cold. "Playing dead might not work. This monster could be toying with us. Here’s what we’ll do."

After a quick discussion, Wu Chengyu incited the others, "Quick, while the monster is distracted, let's make a run for it!"

"If we stay here, we’re dead. Someone needs to go get Teacher Liang!"

Some were too scared to move, but others, desperate to avoid death, decided to take the risk.

"Everyone rush it! It can't kill us all. Staying here is certain death!"

Fueled by extreme fear, a few boys, their eyes red with rage, decided to act. The monster, still toying with the struggling boys, had its back turned. Li Yong and Zhou Keqiang, covered in blood, still fought to live, calling out for help.

"Help us! Don’t leave us behind!"

"Please, Wu Chengyu, Xiao Ran, we’re best friends!"

Rather than killing them outright, the monster seemed to enjoy their struggle, batting them around like toys. Meanwhile, the other boys crept behind the monster, trying to escape.

Ignoring their classmates' pleas, they moved stealthily, but Li Yong and Zhou Keqiang’s cries drew the monster’s attention.

"Look, they’re running!"

The monster’s eyes narrowed, its head rotating 180 degrees to spot the fleeing boys. They froze, terror gripping them. In a desperate bid for life, they sprinted for the door.

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

The monster's claws struck quickly, crushing the boys’ chests and leaving them lifeless on the ground.
