Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed.

The voyage had far exceeded expectations, which left Zhang Yi feeling somewhat frustrated.

Long-distance sailing was a tedious affair, trapped on a swaying icebreaker with the same people and scenery day after day.

Although it was similar when they were in the shelter, being on land gave a more grounded feeling, and he could often go out for a walk.

But on the icy sea, leaving the ship was simply impossible.

It wasn't that Zhang Yi couldn't land when passing by land.

However, given his cautious nature, such behavior was clearly unwise.

First, the ship required no supplies; the resources he had were already sufficient.

During their passage through several small countries, the Golden Edge once suffered a robbery.

Zhang Yi acted decisively, eradicating the threat without mercy!

Basically, none of the pirates or bandits he encountered survived.

However, one troublesome issue was that their ship had been exposed to the surveillance of the Colombian Ocean Fleet.

After all, as the world's top naval power, Colombia's satellite monitoring system was no less advanced than the Nebula of the Huaxu Kingdom.

Moreover, Zhang Yi and his crew had not used any military jamming devices to avoid alerting their enemies.

This made their movements especially conspicuous.

This point had been discussed among Zhu Zheng, Zhang Yi, and Zhu Yunque.

Since their mission was officially an evacuation, there was no need to hide; after all, the core of the mission involved a secret in someone's hands.

Furthermore, the Colombian Ocean Fleet was well supplied, and their own people ensured their logistics.

So basically, they had no reason to worry about the Colombian Ocean Fleet attacking them.

On the thirty-ninth day of sailing at sea, Zhang Yi and his team encountered an extremely bizarre sight.

That day, Zhang Yi was in the cabin discussing calligraphy with Zhou Ke'er. Zhang Yi personally preferred cursive script and often used it to cultivate his temperament.

Suddenly, the ship shook violently, the tremors unrelenting.

Old Tian rushed over, pounding on the door with urgent "bang bang bang!"—the urgency unprecedented.

Seeing this, Zhang Yi hurriedly tidied the desk, asked Zhou Ke'er to gather her clothes, then went to open the door for Old Tian.

"What's going on? You're all flustered—what's the matter?" Zhang Yi frowned as he asked.

Old Tian and the two sailors behind him looked terrified as they said to Zhang Yi,

"Mr. Zhang, we… we've encountered a sea monster!!"

Zhang Yi and Zhou Ke'er exclaimed in unison, "A sea monster?"

The day had finally come.

From the moment they set out, both Zhang Yi and Zhou Ke'er had imagined encountering sea monsters in the vast ocean.

There was some worry, but also a hint of anticipation.

Near the coast, they had once encountered a mutated whale, but it was only massive in size and had not displayed overwhelming destructive power.

Zhang Yi analyzed that it was likely driven from the deep sea into shallower waters.

The real overlord had appeared in the deep sea, forcing it to flee to the less dangerous nearshore to avoid becoming prey.

Only, it never expected that it wouldn't die at the hands of sea creatures but at the claws of terrestrial west-footed beasts.

Sometimes, the one who kills you isn't a peer but a cross-domain player.

Zhang Yi snapped back to reality and pressed the bracelet on his right wrist; his black combat suit automatically enveloped his body.

"Wait for me a moment!"

He closed the door and began changing into his combat suit.

Zhou Ke'er didn't idle either and started changing clothes as well.

The combat suits for the investigation team were exchanged by Zhang Yi.

After rescuing Zhu Zheng and driving away the Reincarnation Squad, Zhang Yi had spent the huge points he earned on advanced high-tech weapons and armor.

At least everyone at home had a set, including Aunt Zhou Haimei, who usually stayed home cooking and helped Old You relieve stress.

After donning the gear, Zhang Yi opened the door and went to the deck with Zhou Ke'er.

The Golden Edge rocked fiercely; the sailors on deck had to tie safety ropes around their waists.

Outside, the wind and storm raged wildly, the scene gray and blurred with poor visibility.

In the distance at the ocean's edge, waves churned as if something enormous was thrashing about. Terrifying roars echoed intermittently, as if ancient deep-sea gods from primordial times were awakening.

Zhu Yunque stood blocking the cabin exit, her face scared but tinged with curiosity.

Zhang Yi yanked her aside, "You two stay here, don't run outside! Be careful not to get swept into the sea by the waves."

Zhu Yunque felt a bit touched inside.

Zhang Yi actually cared about her now.

In reality, Zhang Yi just thought if she died, it would be hard to explain to Zhu Zheng.

The deck was too unstable. Zhang Yi immediately activated the Absolute Barrier Between Two Realms and Skywalk, suspending his body above the Golden Edge.

Now he could finally see the full view of the sea monster Old Tian had mentioned.

About twenty nautical miles away from the Golden Edge, the sea had already been stained a vast expanse of blood-red.

It was not just one sea monster but many—literally, Zhang Yi saw numerous heads.

Otherwise, he couldn't have determined the number of monsters.

In the ice-blue ocean, the sea monsters' bodies were enormous, with each at least fifty meters in length!

Zhang Yi continued ascending, trying to get a clearer view.

After flying thousands of meters high, he finally saw clearly.

"One, two… five heads, there are five sea monsters in total!"

A huge mutated shark on the west side was besieging a sea serpent or sea eel-like creature.

Those sharks had also mutated, possibly because they once lived among the Neon Pirates, making them look especially grotesque and twisted.

One shark's head was covered with eyes; another had two heads. Zhang Yi even saw one shark growing arms resembling human limbs.

They frantically bit and tore at the giant sea serpent before them.

It was called a sea serpent because it had a narrow body over a hundred meters long, covered in black scales.

Its head had a massive sharp horn, and its back was lined with hundreds of black protrusions larger than the shark's dorsal fins.

The huge body rose and fell on the sea surface like a continuous range of small mountains—colossal and terrifying!

"Shriek—"

Faced with the mutated sharks' siege, the sea serpent raised its head high above the water, sweeping its body horizontally. Many scales fell into the sea, and blood stained the waters for over ten kilometers.

Its enormous sharp horn suddenly emitted a strong purple glow, finally shooting out a beam of light that swept toward the attacking sharks!

Immediately, one shark's head was pierced through by the beam, letting out a dreadful scream before sinking into the depths.
