Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies

Everyone had handed in their loyalty pledges, indicating they would not betray Zhang Yi by leaking information.

Che Haicheng asked Eisenmann, "Mr. Eisenmann, now that it's come to this, can you tell us what you've discovered?"

Eisenmann crossed his arms, speaking very coldly, "Actually, it's not anything too complicated. Back then, you were all starving, so none of you had the energy to care about anything else."

"When we were on the island during the third month, there was a period when we couldn't find any food. Everyone just huddled in the camp, waiting to die."

"As a result, many people started revealing their secrets, sharing interesting stories."

"At that time, Li Zongyu told us about how he obtained that special power."

Those words immediately plunged everyone into deep reflection.

But back then, most people didn't have the spirit to truly listen to Li Zongyu's forced enthusiasm in telling those stories.

"He once obtained a yellow stone somewhere on Star Island. That very stone was what gave him that special power."

"Think carefully—what is the biggest difference between Li Zongyu and the rest of us? It's the power he possesses!"

"So, I suspect that power is the true objective of the faction that owns this ship."

Those words hit everyone like a sudden enlightenment, making them sharply realize the crux of the problem.

"So that means, aside from Li Zongyu, none of the rest of us hold any value to them, right?"

"The captain doesn't care whether we live or die. Maybe when the ship reaches the middle of the ocean, if he gets upset, he'll just throw us all overboard."

Everyone had already realized this was the closest explanation to the truth.

But even after understanding the truth, they had no way to leave this ship.

Surrounded by the vast frozen sea, leaving here meant certain death; they had nowhere to escape.

"So, are we just waiting to die?"

"Who knows when that guy will go mad and kill us all!"

White Mo clutched his head, speaking painfully.

Che Haicheng and the others wore grim expressions; after learning the truth, their hearts fell into deeper despair.

Because they had spent half a year with Li Zongyu, Zhang Yi definitely wouldn't let them go.

Even if they reached the Huaxu Kingdom, they would surely be placed under house arrest.

At that time, as foreigners, they would inevitably become slaves.

Whether they lived or died would truly depend on their owner's mood.

Just thinking about this ending sent chills down their spines.

"What exactly should we do? Do we have to face such a tragic fate?"

Che Haicheng said with difficulty.

Xie Yunfan felt some regret now; he shouldn't have gotten mixed up with this group just now.

He could have relied on his Huaxu Kingdom bloodline to curry favor with Zhang Yi, becoming his lapdog.

Even after disembarking, life would have been somewhat better.

Now, there was no going back.

Rudolf, the pickpocket, was surprisingly carefree, laughing loudly on his bed.

"Since we're all going to die anyway, hey, old man, why not send your wife over here to keep me company!"

Che Haicheng didn't have the mood to respond to him.

White Mo muttered fearfully to himself, his face full of panic.

Only Eisenmann remained expressionless as usual.

He was like that—a man who seemed uninterested in anything.

Perhaps because the apocalypse had come, he had long realized that surviving as a human meant inevitably facing such hardships.

"Mr. Eisenmann, since you had already thought of this, there must be a way to solve the problem, right?"

Eisenmann glanced at him. "There is no way."

"There must be! There has to be a way, Mr. Eisenmann!"

Che Haicheng suddenly grabbed Eisenmann's arm and shook it hard, his eyes glowing red.

"No matter how slim the hope, as long as there is a possible way, we have to try!"

Eisenmann was somewhat annoyed by Che Haicheng, or maybe he really didn't want to become a dog in a foreign land.

He stared at Che Haicheng impatiently and said, "If you can get me a communication device, then maybe we still have a chance to leave here."

He briefly explained his idea.

From Rockflow Island to the Huaxu Kingdom, the route passes through the sea territory of the Neon Pirate.

Nearby, the Columbus Ocean fleet is stationed on patrol.

So if they could obtain a communication device and have Eisenmann modify it, there might be a chance to contact them.

"You mean… we send this information to the ocean fleet and have them come rescue us?"

Xie Yunfan's eyes gradually lit up.

White Mo, however, said sadly, "It's useless. Those guys are just a bunch of trash. I've sent them countless distress signals, and they completely ignored our existence!"

Eisenmann calmly replied, "But the situation is different now."

"I believe whatever can make the Huaxu Kingdom act will also catch the interest of the ocean fleet."

White Mo was stunned for a moment, then slowly lifted his head to look at him.

The others in the room exchanged glances, and excitement began to sparkle in their eyes.

This was indeed a method worth trying!

"This is all I can tell you. But our communication devices were confiscated long ago. Where will you get one?"

"Even if you manage to steal one, if you're caught, I believe the punishment would be death."

After saying this, Eisenmann lay back on the bed and stopped talking.

He was very smart—he could think of solutions but was not the type to take action.

Still, his idea at least gave everyone a glimmer of hope.

"There will be a way. There definitely will be a way!"

Che Haicheng muttered repeatedly.

Meanwhile, on the Rockflow Group's side, in another room—the one where Li Zongyu, Zhang Weiwei, and Ma Wenzheng were staying—

They were equally shocked by the slaughter in the lower deck.

Bodies were being carried out one after another.

The disposal method was very simple and crude: they were just thrown overboard from the deck.

From inside the cabin, the sound of bodies hitting the water, "plop, plop," could be heard repeatedly.

It was enough to make anyone's heart race.

Because the sound started right away and continued almost nonstop later on.

One could only imagine how many had died.

There were also some students in the cabin, all junior high age, very young, on a school trip to Rockflow Island with Li Zongyu.

Seeing this scene, they shrank together in fear, their faces pale.

Zhang Weiwei was also full of worry, whispering softly, "This is too terrifying. All of this is just too terrifying!"

Ma Wenzheng, lying on the bed opposite, smiled faintly upon hearing this. Though shocked by the view outside, he did not show much agitation.

"This kind of situation is something that could happen."

"Although I didn't expect," he took a deep breath, "so many would die!"

"I originally thought that Mr. Zhang would try to manage the situation."
