Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies

Ling Feng immediately felt a surge of unease, as if something terrible was about to happen.

“What’s that in your hand?!”

Zhang Yi didn’t answer and kept pressing.

Seconds later, a low, muffled explosion sounded behind Ling Feng, shaking the ground violently and splitting the snow-covered earth with deep cracks.

Everyone struggled to steady themselves to avoid falling into the jagged crevices.

Ling Feng and his team, with their backs to the tunnel entrance, suddenly felt a warm draft on their backs. Despite the sub-zero temperatures outside, the heat quickly intensified, soon turning into a scorching pain.

Boom!!

A blazing fire dragon erupted from the tunnel entrance.

Ling Feng and his team had been focused entirely on Zhang Yi and his companions, completely unprepared for this fiery assault from behind.

They were all thrown back by the scorching wave.

Ling Feng, Shi Dayong, and Xu Mingjie were mostly unharmed, their enhanced bodies withstanding the impact. But Zheng Xuerong, Ye Ronghua, and the others fared worse, with Ye Ronghua, the weakest among them, coughing up a mouthful of blood.

Zhang Yi, Fatty Xu, and Uncle You exchanged glances and sighed with relief.

The massive bomb had detonated successfully!

With a yield of 1,000 kilograms, it would obliterate the entire Second Life Pod!

Even if the fortifications weren’t entirely destroyed, the explosion would cripple all essential systems inside.

The intense heat and oxygen depletion would ensure a swift death for everyone within.

West Hill Base would be erased from Tianhai City after today!

Liang Yue took a deep breath, feeling as if a huge weight had lifted from her shoulders with the destruction of West Hill Base.

Yet, she found it hard to feel joy at the thought of the thousands who would die in the blast.

Among them were students she had hidden herself.

But again, she had no other choice.

The world rarely allowed her to achieve ideal outcomes, and achieving the best possible result was already fortunate.

With that, she turned her gaze to Ling Feng and his companions, her eyes sharp.

With West Hill Base destroyed and her students safe, the only thing left was to eliminate these dangerous enemies to secure her survival.

With her last ties severed, the killing intent in her eyes grew pure and focused.

Ling Feng and his companions, feeling the tremors beneath their feet, finally realized the extent of the destruction.

Ling Feng glared at Zhang Yi, pointing an accusing finger. “Zhang Yi, what did you do?!”

Zhang Yi smirked slightly. “Remember when you attacked my shelter and left a bundle of explosives behind?”

“I added a bit more to it and gave it back to you. It turns out your explosives were top-notch quality!”

He praised sincerely.

Without Ling Feng’s “gift,” finding enough materials on his own to make such powerful explosives would have been a huge challenge.

Ling Feng glanced back at the charred tunnel, feeling a chill in his heart.

Their base had been destroyed—by their own explosives!

He had the urge to rush back to help but knew logically that it would be suicide. Poisonous gases filled the area below, and the oxygen was almost gone.

Turning back to Zhang Yi, Ling Feng’s bloodshot eyes glared fiercely. “Fine. I’ll kill you first, then go back to save them!”

“Hold on!”

Zhang Yi suddenly raised his hand, stopping Ling Feng and his team, who were ready to charge.

The atmosphere grew tense as everyone prepared for battle.

With Liang Yue on their side, Zhang Yi’s team now had a fighting chance against Ling Feng’s.

Especially with Ye Ronghua weakened by a hallucination backlash and Fang Zun, the "Fire Man," struggling to use his abilities in the cold environment.

Meanwhile, everyone Zhang Yi had brought along was a seasoned fighter.

“Ling Feng, if we fight here, no one’s survival is guaranteed. Are you willing to see everyone die?”

“And don’t try to act like this is all for revenge. You invaded my territory first. Don’t give me that revenge speech.”

Ling Feng scoffed. “Does saying this even matter? Today, only one of us will leave here alive. Either you kill me, or I kill you!”

Zhang Yi chuckled.

“So, all you really want is to kill me, right?”

Ling Feng didn’t understand Zhang Yi’s sudden change in tone but didn’t want to give him time to stall.

“Exactly. Today, you’re going to die here. Enough talking!”

He was about to charge forward.

“If your only goal is my life, then there’s no need for us to gamble everyone else’s lives!” Zhang Yi shouted. “Ling Feng, let’s settle our grudge one-on-one. Do you dare?”

A collective wave of surprise swept over the crowd.

Liang Yue stared at Zhang Yi in disbelief and whispered, “Are you crazy? Do you know how strong he is?”

Ignoring her, Zhang Yi kept his eyes on Ling Feng. “If we all fight, you’ll suffer heavy losses even if you win.”

“Let’s settle this between us. After all, I’m the only one you want dead!”

“If I win, you let us go, and from now on, we leave the past behind.”

“If I lose, you can do whatever you want with me!”

Zhang Yi shrugged. “Though I know you won’t let me live anyway.”

Fatty Xu and Uncle You looked at Zhang Yi, saying nothing, but remembered his earlier words.

“These guys are professional soldiers with Superhuman powers and strong combat skills. In a coordinated fight, we’re no match for them.”

“So, if we’re cornered, I’ll challenge their leader to a one-on-one duel.”

“They don’t know the extent of my abilities and think I’m just a coward who uses spatial tricks. So Ling Feng will probably accept.”

“In a one-on-one fight, I have a shot at winning.”

Back then, Fatty Xu and Uncle You thought Zhang Yi was insane.

According to their intel, Ling Feng was practically a perfect soldier, someone who could go toe-to-toe with fighter jets or even battle an aircraft carrier if he had an oxygen tank.

But Zhang Yi had simply said, “I have my reasons. Just hold off the others if it comes down to it.”

With Fatty Xu’s ice-control abilities for crowd control, that wouldn’t be a problem.

Zhang Yi fixed his gaze on Ling Feng. “Ling Feng, do you dare take me on one-on-one?”
