Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies

Chapter 302 : Strategic Relocation

Zhang Yi gathered everyone in the house and explained the situation to them.

Upon hearing that they might face a missile strike, everyone grew tense.

While an ordinary missile might not be more powerful than 500 kilograms of TNT, the enemy clearly knew the shelter’s strength. They would likely use a more potent missile capable of penetrating the shelter’s outer defenses.

If that happened, the threat would be beyond estimation.

Of course, there were even more powerful missiles, but those were unlikely to be deployed domestically.

“Does he really have access to something like that?” Yang Xinxin was the first to ask.

“If he did, he should have used it already, right? Why wait until now, after suffering so many losses?”

Zhang Yi shrugged and explained, “While he doesn’t have it directly, Jiangnan District, stationed near Tianhai City, does. They definitely have missile control authority.”

“Chen Xinian holds a significant position in Tianhai City, so it’s not impossible for him to pull some strings and get one.”

“The key point is, whether he’s bluffing or not, I’m not willing to risk our lives.”

Zhang Yi spread his hands. “So, everyone, pack up—we’re getting out of here!”

Zhou Ke’er’s eyes lit up. “Are we going back to the Yuelu Residential Area?”

Right now, the only place they could go was Yuelu Residential Area, where they could stay in Zhang Yi’s old safe house.

Although they had more people now, the three-bedroom apartment should be able to fit them all.

Zhang Yi smiled and nodded, “Exactly! We’ll move there for now.”

Everyone agreed with his decision. They couldn’t afford to take any risks with their safety.

Still, as they looked around at the perfect shelter, they felt a bit reluctant to leave. This five-story shelter was practically a palace. Who wouldn’t want to live in such a place?

Fatty Xu sighed, “What a shame, I’ve only lived here for a few days.”

Zhang Yi laughed and patted his shoulder. “Don’t be too quick to complain. We still don’t know for sure if he has missiles.”

Yang Xinxin, pushing her wheelchair closer to Zhang Yi, gave him a meaningful look.

“If our planted agent can do their job, we’ll have all the intel on West Hill Base.”

Zhang Yi blinked and, after a moment of thought, smiled. “If it works out, that’d be fantastic!”

Everyone went off to pack their things.

There were so many valuable items in the shelter. Everything Young Master Wang had left behind was top-quality luxury goods.

Even the items Zhang Yi had given to the others were from the well-stocked storage.

The house was filled with high-end furniture, fine wine, collectibles, and gaming consoles, all brand-name products.

So, knowing the shelter might get hit by missiles made everyone reluctant to leave. They wished they could take everything with them.

Zhang Yi quickly stopped them from trying to take too much.

Though he had his dimensional space to quickly store things, the women’s endless list of items was just too much.

To prevent Chen Xinian from launching an airstrike earlier than expected, Zhang Yi urged everyone to pack only the essentials and leave with him.

In the end, they could only take the most necessary supplies and pack them into Zhang Yi’s dimensional space.

“There’s no need to feel so attached! We can always go to the mall and grab whatever we need later.”

“Even the most expensive jewelry is worthless now. What’s there to be sad about?”

Zhang Yi smiled as he tried to cheer up the women, finding their behavior amusing.

“Well, you’re not wrong, but those things are still nice to have,” Zhou Ke’er said wistfully, resting her chin in her hand.

“They hold a lot of our fond memories.”

“Huh? What fond memories?” Zhang Yi asked.

Zhou Ke’er blushed a little and whispered into his ear, “The sofa, the dining table, the toilet, the bathtub... all of them carry precious memories.”

Zhang Yi’s eyes sparkled. “Oh, I see what you mean. But don’t worry, we can always make more of those memories in the future.”

Only then did a smile return to Zhou Ke’er’s face.

After packing their important items, Zhang Yi led the group out of the shelter.

Aside from Zhang Yi, Fatty Xu, and Hua Hua, the other women hadn’t been outside in a long time.

At first, they wanted to take a deep breath of fresh air, but the cold nearly froze their mouths.

“Oh my god, it’s freezing!” Yang Siyah cried, clutching her mouth in pain.

“The air is so cold and terrible—I don’t want to be outside!”

Zhang Yi chuckled, “Of course! You didn’t actually think the air out here was fresh, did you?”

Most of the plants in the outside world had frozen to death, and the air was becoming thinner, devoid of that fresh, earthy scent.

“Really?” Yang Siyah’s eyes widened with curiosity.

“If that’s true, won’t all of Blue Star run out of oxygen?”

Yang Xinxin chuckled at her sister’s naivety. “Even if all the plants die, there are still other ways to produce oxygen. Otherwise, how do you think the planet had oxygen for the first life forms, before plants existed?” ŕáŊɵ𐌱ĘṨ

Yang Siyah didn’t dare argue with Yang Xinxin when it came to science.

Zhang Yi chimed in, “We should also thank Mi Mi. If she hadn’t been so meticulous in cultivating so many plants in the shelter, we wouldn’t have had such fresh air.”

The garden in the shelter had been beautifully tended by Yang Siyah, and they often went there to relax and enjoy the greenery, finding peace in the sight of the vibrant plants.

Hearing Zhang Yi’s praise made Yang Siyah feel touched, her gaze softening.

But when she thought about the plants she had to leave behind in the shelter, she couldn’t help but feel sad.

Those flowers and plants had all been carefully grown by her, one by one.

If they died, she would be heartbroken.

Seeing her mood, Zhang Yi comforted her. “Don’t worry too much. I still have plenty of seeds. You can plant them again in your own little garden.”

Yang Siyah’s eyes lit up with excitement, and she quickly replied, “I’ll make sure to take good care of your seeds!”

For some reason, the people around them felt there was something off about the conversation.

Before anyone could think too much about it, Zhang Yi took out two snowmobiles and called everyone to get on.

He drove one, and the other was handed over to the mechanical girl, Lu Keran.

Her driving skills were impressive, even flashier than Zhang Yi’s.

Both snowmobiles had been modified earlier, with steel plates and bulletproof glass added to the exterior, giving them some degree of protection.

“Alright, let’s go!” Zhang Yi revved up the engine and led the way toward the long-lost Yuelu Residential Area.
