Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies

Su Nuanxi couldn't bear it, remembering how Yamada Masami had treated her kindly on Rockflow Island.

Fearing she might go hungry, he always gave her priority whenever there was something good to eat.

So Su Nuanxi stepped in front of Yamada Masami, staring directly at Zhang Yi as she declared:

"Everyone makes mistakes, but correcting them is what truly matters. Why can't we give him another chance?"

"He's a genuinely kind person now. You can't just take his life like this!"

Zhang Yi looked at her like she was an idiot.

"Are you out of your mind?"

Her saintly compassion had reached such nauseating extremes.

Su Nuanxi stamped her foot in frustration.

"I can personally vouch for his kindness," she insisted.

"When we were starving on Rockflow Island at first, he was the one who suggested catching sea turtles to make turtle meat for everyone."

"When my body temperature dropped too low, he held me at night to keep me warm."

"How could someone like that possibly be a bad person?"

Her large, earnest eyes swept across the crowd, her resolute expression making it clear she wasn't joking - she truly believed Yamada Masami was a good man.

Zhang Yi's lips curled into a mocking smile.

"So turtle meat was his idea, was it?"

Zhou Ke'er frowned meaningfully. "She actually believes they could catch giant sea turtles on that island?"

Su Nuanxi blinked, then snorted triumphantly. "Shows what you know! There's a species of giant ocean turtle that survives in cold waters - massive creatures with plenty of meat."

She turned to Li Zongyu. "Professor Li, you've caught turtles before, right? Tell them it's true!"

Li Zongyu's expression darkened.

The turtle incident was a secret he'd rather forget.

Yet it was indeed Yamada Masami's suggestion.

Most group members remained unaware that even this so-called "turtle meat" had been a hot commodity on Rockflow Island.

Yamada had proposed they go hunting, which explained why their later food supplies seemed fresher.

Zhu Yunque couldn't take it anymore.

"Lisa, drop this subject."

Su Nuanxi grew angry. "But I really ate it!"

Zhang Yi rubbed his nose.

He'd assumed everyone knew the truth.

That they were just deceiving themselves about what they'd consumed.

But Su Nuanxi proved genuine fools still existed in this world.

In reality, since the stronger men in the Rockflow Group usually gathered food daily,

most members had unquestioningly believed the "turtle meat" or "seabird meat" stories.

But Su Nuanxi's accidental revelation and Zhang Yi's pointed remarks made even the dimmest realize the truth.

The crowd's expressions shifted dramatically, their gazes at Yamada now filled with horror and disgust.

The perversion of Neon people knew no bounds.

Still oblivious, Su Nuanxi boasted, "You all should study marine biology! Giant turtles absolutely exist!"

Zhang Yi smirked. "You're absolutely right. Some grow as big as humans."

Since the truth was out anyway, she'd figure it out eventually.

"Now that we've settled this matter, let's toss him overboard!"

Yamada's eyes bulged in terror as he screamed, "No! You can't do this! I don't want to die! Li-san, you promised to get me back to land! Save me! Miss Su, I love you most! Don't let me die!"

Zhang Yi waved dismissively. "Nobody's opinion matters now."

"Stop! I won't allow this!"

Su Nuanxi spread her arms, physically blocking two crew members.

"Why can't you understand? You should practice universal love instead of solving everything with violence!"

Zhang Yi finally lost patience.

Dealing with a stupid woman was like wrestling with a pig - you both got dirty, and the pig enjoyed it.

"How amusing - defending a black marketeer who poisoned children with tainted food!"

"Fine! Since you're so protective, from now on you can eat his company's products every day!"

His Dimensional Space still contained some food collected from supermarkets long ago -

subpar quality he'd kept for charity cases.

Now he'd found the perfect recipient. Left in the warm, humid kitchen for a few nights, it would ferment beautifully.

Su Nuanxi clenched her teeth. "If sparing Mr. Yamada means eating that food, so be it! It won't kill me!"

"Won't kill you, eh?"

Zhang Yi savored her words, his expression unreadable as he repeated them.

The entire crew wore similarly complicated expressions, avoiding eye contact.

Su Nuanxi found this baffling.

"Why are you all looking like that? Don't you know basic biology?"

Zhu Yunque finally snapped.

Her intolerance for stupidity had reached its limit watching this clueless goose embarrass herself.

"Just shut up already!"

Su Nuanxi pleaded, "Alice, you have to help me!"

Zhu Yunque leaned close and whispered something that made Su Nuanxi's face gradually shift from shock to numbness.

When the whispering stopped, Su Nuanxi's eye twitched.

She turned mechanically toward Zhu Yunque.

"Alice... you're joking, right? That's too ridiculous! How could I possibly believe that?"

Zhu Yunque gave her a pitying look.

Su Nuanxi's pupils contracted violently before she lunged at another woman, shaking her shoulders.

"This is all lies, right? Giant ocean turtles exist, right? RIGHT?"

She kept demanding confirmation, but received no satisfactory answer.

"Maybe... seabird meat?" the woman offered weakly.

But this made no sense - any edible creatures would have been consumed immediately on the island.

White Mo approached reluctantly. "Look on the bright side, Miss Lisa... at least it was nutritious?"

Su Nuanxi could no longer delude herself, seeing the strange looks from everyone.

"NO!"

She screamed, covering her face as she fled below deck.

Zhang Yi shrugged. "The foreigner's got a point - at least he just made you eat it."
