Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies

Chapter 320: Pursuit and Escape



The soldiers behind them had been cleared out, Fatty Xu was blocking Fang Zun, and Zhang Yi’s Dimensional Gate prevented Ling Feng from advancing.

But Zhang Yi knew Ling Feng’s intent.

With Ling Feng’s skills, if he truly wanted to pursue, Zhang Yi wouldn’t have any chance of escaping.

“So, it’s come to this,” Zhang Yi murmured. “I’d hoped to end this war a bit easier, but it seems that’s not possible.”

But that was fine. A head-on clash with Superhumans like Ling Feng had always been one of the scenarios he’d considered.

“Zhang Yi.”

At that moment, a woman emerged from behind Ling Feng, calling Zhang Yi’s name softly.

He instinctively looked at her.

Their gazes met mid-air.

Zhang Yi felt as if her eyes were deep, dark abysses drawing him in.

Her name was Ye Ronghua, a powerful illusionist with hypnotic abilities. Looking directly into her eyes intensified her influence.

“Ah!”

Suddenly, Ye Ronghua clutched her eyes, letting out a scream.

Zhang Yi stood unharmed, while she collapsed to her knees, her body convulsing as if severely injured.

Not only her—Ling Feng and his team also appeared dazed and disoriented.

“Apologies, but my Dimensional Gate reflects even brainwaves back,” Zhang Yi sneered.

Though brainwaves are invisible, they still transmit physically and cannot bypass Zhang Yi’s Dimensional Gate. Trying to use that move on him was a death sentence. Ŕ

Zhang Yi had thoroughly studied his enemies’ abilities and was fully prepared for Ye Ronghua’s mental attacks.

Rather than affecting him, her illusion rebounded, entrapping her and her team.

Taking advantage of their confusion, Zhang Yi didn’t attack, as close-quarters combat wasn’t his strength.

Escaping was the best choice right now!

“Hua Hua!”

At his call, the tabby cat at his feet let out a loud “Meow!” before its body began expanding!

Ling Feng was the first to regain consciousness, his strong will quickly shaking off the illusion’s effects.

Though he had heard about Hua Hua, seeing a mutated cat in person was still surprising.

There was almost no intel on Hua Hua.

Due to the limited space, Hua Hua could only grow to about two meters tall and four to five meters in length.

“Let’s go!”

Zhang Yi leapt onto Hua Hua’s back and helped the others climb up.

Liang Yue grasped Zhang Yi’s hand, flipping gracefully onto the seat in front of him.

“Fatty, let’s go!”

Zhang Yi first helped Uncle You, then called for Fatty Xu to stop his standoff.

Quickly, Fatty Xu withdrew, as the corridor was filled with white steam, obscuring visibility. Fang Zun, fearing friendly fire, hesitated to release his flames.

This gave them an opening to escape.

Hua Hua turned and sprinted out of the corridor.

Zhang Yi retracted his Dimensional Gate, but not before tossing a load of grenades and explosives from within it.

As Hua Hua rounded the corner, Zhang Yi pressed the detonator in his hand!

The explosives on the ground, along with the smoke bombs left in the Second Life Pod, detonated simultaneously.

Flames surged unpredictably, and deafening explosions echoed throughout the underground.

Fatty Xu anxiously asked, “Boss, won’t that big one be dismantled?”

Zhang Yi replied gravely, “No! We left plenty of small explosives as smoke bombs, and with the poor lighting, they won’t find the hidden explosives that fast.”

“I’ll detonate it when we get outside!”

Hua Hua dashed towards the exit of West Hill Base.

Meanwhile, back at the explosion site, a thick layer of ice had shielded Ling Feng and his team, insulating them from the blast.

Bang!

Ling Feng punched through the thick ice wall in front of him, his eyes burning with a deadly glare.

“Pursue them!”

He surged forward like a raging tornado.

Shi Dayong roared, transforming into a giant ice ape, and hoisted Zheng Xuerong over his shoulder as he charged ahead.

Behind him, the beastly Xu Mingjie’s body twisted as his muscles expanded, tearing through his clothing.

He became a grotesque creature, his elongated arms dragging along the ground, his face contorted, and green liquid dripping from his mouth, barely recognizable as human.

With a roar, he grabbed Ye Ronghua and Fang Zun, joining the chase.

Zhang Yi and his group rode Hua Hua away, the sounds of pursuit piercing the air.

Fatty Xu grew nervous. “Boss, throw down some bombs to stop them!”

Zhang Yi shook his head. “No, I’m not one to use underhanded tactics. If they want to chase, let them chase.”

The others glanced at Zhang Yi in disbelief.

Coming from Zhang Yi, that statement was hardly convincing.

Zhang Yi was known for being ruthless in achieving his goals.

But the team understood that if he made this choice, he had a deeper plan, so they held their silence.

The multiple applications of the Dimensional Gate were one of Zhang Yi’s biggest aces, one he wouldn’t waste lightly.

Once used, the enemy would be ready for it in the future.

Now wasn’t the right time.

Fatty Xu raised his submachine gun, shouting as he fired down at the pursuers.

Although such firearms couldn’t harm Ling Feng, they did slow his advance slightly.

Within seconds, Hua Hua leapt out of the tunnel entrance, reaching the surface outside West Hill Base.

Not long after, Ling Feng emerged from the tunnel as well. He didn’t rush to attack but fixed his gaze on Zhang Yi’s group from a short distance.

At this range, Ling Feng was confident Zhang Yi couldn’t escape.

The Dimensional Gate was one-directional, and with Ling Feng’s speed, he could easily evade it and attack from various angles.

Even if Zhang Yi tried to drive away, Ling Feng would shoot out the vehicle’s tires.

Without the defenses of a shelter, Ling Feng’s power was overwhelmingly strong.

Fatty Xu swallowed nervously. “Boss, what do we do?”

Zhang Yi slid off Hua Hua’s back. Although carrying four people wasn’t too much for her, it still slowed her down.

An escape directly back to the shelter was impossible now.

And trying to escape by vehicle in front of elite soldiers would only insult their skill.

They could shoot out the car tires with their eyes closed.

Moments later, the other Superhumans caught up.

They stood behind Ling Feng, glaring coldly at Zhang Yi, their expressions murderous.

All the team leaders of West Hill Base were assembled.

The sheer pressure was overwhelming, filling the air with a murderous aura.

“Now, let’s see where you can run! There’s no shelter here for you to hide in!”

Ling Feng’s lips curved into a cold smile, his eyes glinting with deadly intent and a hint of excitement for revenge.

Zhang Yi sighed softly. “An eye for an eye… when does it ever end?"
