Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies-Chapter 1243: Upgrade of Spatial Abilities

Chapter 1243: Upgrade of Spatial Abilities

After listening to Zhang Yi's words, Gao Tianwu immediately said:

"I understand all of this. Thank you, Boss Zhang, for giving me this opportunity. I will work hard and won't let you down!"

Zhang Yi said calmly, "You're good in every way, except your strength is a bit lacking. Have you been practicing with firearms diligently lately?"

Gao Tianwu hurriedly replied, "I haven't dared to slack off at all! I'm now in charge of a team, and I practice seriously every day."

For ordinary people and lower-level superhumans, firearms still posed a significant threat.

Zhang Yi took out a portion of Ground Centipede origin from his Dimensional Space. Although it wasn't at the squad leader level, it still had a power level of around 7000 to 8000.

"Here is a portion of mutant beast origin. Take it and absorb it to improve your strength as soon as possible."

"For this trip, take ten superhumans from the Dawn Rain Base."

"Also, each month, take as many Elemental Stones as you need for yourselves. This is for your living expenses and to exchange for supplies."

"I will have the Deng Family provide you with medicine to help you improve your strength quickly."

Zhang Yi's arrangements for Gao Tianwu and his men were quite comprehensive.

It wasn't that he wanted to micromanage too much; it was just that the current combat strength level of Tianhai City was really too low.

Among the three major bases, even the most powerful leaders hadn't reached the squad leader level.

With the strength of Gao Tianwu and his brothers, going to Wuyou Valley would probably make them a laughingstock.

They at least needed to become stronger to uphold Zhang Yi's reputation. They didn't need to be too strong, but they had to be decent enough.

For a moment, Gao Tianwu was completely stunned, as if a huge pie had suddenly fallen from the sky and landed right on his head.

Zhang Yi had always been extremely generous to those around him, never treating anyone unfairly.

It was just that the little things that slipped through his fingers were, for the current Gao Tianwu, simply too much.

Excited, he thumped his chest hard and said loudly:

"Boss Zhang, you value me highly. I will never forget this kindness! When I go to Shengjing, I will absolutely not disgrace you!"

Zhang Yi gave a faint smile. "I don't care about what you say; I care about what you do. The journey there is long, and you'll have to consider everything yourself when the time comes."

"I only look at the results. If you don't perform well, I'll find someone to replace you."

Gao Tianwu nodded. "I understand!"

He clenched his fists tightly, feeling that immense wealth and status were right before his eyes.

He also knew that leaving his comfort zone would bring many troubles.

He and his subordinates were not strong enough, and going to work in the most powerful region would definitely lead to them being looked down upon or even deliberately obstructed.

But he had to grit his teeth and endure all of this.

As long as he could tough it out, he would have finally made it.

By then, his prospects would be far better than those of the three major base leaders in Tianhai City who were just idling away!

After all, Zhang Yi's attitude towards the three major bases was quite indifferent, simply letting them fend for themselves without much intervention.

But the elemental ore was a property Zhang Yi valued highly.

If he did well, he would become a powerful regional administrator. Would Zhang Yi's support for him be lacking in the future?

Gao Tianwu, filled with joy and excitement, left with the things Zhang Yi had given him.

He only had one day to organize his team. The next day, he would set off for Blizzard City, then go with the people there to Wuyou Valley.

Gao Tianwu left. He was going to the northern border, to that even colder valley, where he would stay for a very, very long time.

Zhang Yi watched him leave the Shelter.

He walked very, very far in the ice and snow, leaving a long trail of footprints on the ground.

Yet, at a certain distance, he stopped, turned back, and bowed deeply towards Zhang Yi, who was watching him from the window.

Zhang Yi gave a faint smile. Leaning against the window, he reached out a hand towards the coffee table over ten meters away.

A cup of coffee placed on the coffee table immediately flew towards him, wobbling unsteadily. By the time it landed in Zhang Yi's hand, it was still unstable, and the coffee was almost spilling out.

Zhang Yi took a sip of coffee and said calmly, "Although I can actively retrieve objects now, the control still seems somewhat lacking. And, I cannot actively absorb human bodies. That's strange."

The increase in the superhuman ability index meant the degree to which the ability was unlocked had increased.

His Dimensional Space retrieval ability had become stronger, with a wider range, and he now had the ability to actively seize and absorb things.

After some experimentation, he could now even uproot the entire Shelter from underground and absorb it into his Dimensional Space.

However, there were still limitations—it was ineffective against people.

Zhang Yi had experimented with many types of objects. Ordinary living and non-living things, microorganisms, could all be actively retrieved.

But there were two exceptions.

One was biological entities possessing superhuman abilities.

The other was humans.

They seemed to possess a certain special power that resisted Zhang Yi's space, preventing him from absorbing them at will.

Zhang Yi drank his coffee while his other hand pulled out a book from his Dimensional Space. It was a reference book about the Snowy Plateau Region.

Recently, Pagyi Gesang had contacted Zhang Yi twice.

Both times were to invite Zhang Yi to the Snowy Plateau to attend the next year's Prayer Festival.

To persuade Zhang Yi, he had also sent him some photos and videos.

Zhang Yi saw that majestic Great Snow Mountain. On a certain gloomy afternoon, it suddenly erupted with a brilliant cyan-gold Buddha's light, like a golden wheel enveloping the mountain peak.

Zhang Yi hadn't told Pagyi Gesang whether he would go or not, keeping him hanging all along.

He was thinking about how much gain this trip could bring.

But clearly, the changes on Star Island reminded him that staying in Tianhai City all the time was no longer that safe.

He had to strive to become stronger and figure out the origins of those powerful and mysterious subterranean creatures.

...

Over in the Eastern Sea, some movements were gradually detected.

Even though it was far away, Zhang Yi's side could still detect it.

Zhang Yi knew very well that it was the people from the East Sea Region or other large forces taking action.

They must have ventured deep into the mist and clashed with unknown creatures.

However, all of this had nothing to do with Zhang Yi. He wouldn't risk his life.

And now, he had more important things to do.

In the blink of an eye, two months passed.

Planet Calendar Year 2053, February.

More than two years had passed since the Apocalypse began to descend.

Over at the Shelter, Lu Keran had been busy with two things.

Perfecting his exoskeleton armor, and building the Ground Centipede breeding farm.

The Ground Centipede breeding farm was built next to the Shelter.

With the help of Old You and Fatty Xu, he had jointly excavated a huge cavern two hundred meters underground.

After all, these creatures lived underground and had certain temperature requirements for their living environment.

Although they weren't that fragile, to ensure the successful establishment of the breeding farm, they had to provide high-quality breeding conditions for these hard-to-obtain, possibly even the last remaining, Ground Centipede eggs.

Besides that, they needed to use reinforced concrete, along with some Yi Metal, to build cages to prevent these things from escaping after they grew.

Currently, Lu Keran's superhuman ability index was as high as 9500 points, and his ability to refine materials had improved significantly.

Therefore, he could produce Yi Metal in large quantities, so the material issue was completely no problem.
