Chapter 1080: Visiting the Deng Family
Zhu Zheng argued, "I just thought, if you could obtain the Divine Source, then you'd only need to give her a tiny bit, just a tiny bit would be enough."
Zhang Yi shook his head.
"She is not Yuan Kongye after all. But for you, having such a guardian deity is sufficient."
Zhu Zheng, however, looked at Zhang Yi seriously.
"What matters most is still your stance."
Zhang Yi stretched lazily, then said to Zhu Zheng with a smile, "You know , I've never had the slightest interest in the power struggles within Blizzard City."
"Whoever can bring the greatest benefit, I will help them."
"Looking at it now, our cooperation has been quite pleasant. If I don't support you, who would I support?"
Zhu Zheng's expression relaxed sowhat.
Zhang Yi suddenly added, "By the way, can I collect my supplies now? I made an appointnt with Deng Yuanbo, and I need to visit the Deng Family later."
Zhu Zheng's lips twitched slightly as he smiled, "Of course, everything is prepared for you! I originally planned to give them to you after the victory banquet ended, but I didn't expect you to be in such a hurry."
Zhang Yi said calmly, "In my hotown, the custom is to visit guests after lunch. That way, you don't trouble the host. I ca after eating, so a victory banquet or anything like that is unnecessary."
Seeing this, Zhu Zheng nodded. He understood Zhang Yi's personality.
In the past, Zhang Yi would still be polite with him.
But now, the power dynamic between Zhang Yi and him had reversed, so there was naturally no need to deliberately curry favor.
"Alright then, uh, Xincheng. Take Zhang Yi to collect the supplies!"
Secretary Lan Xincheng walked over and said respectfully to Zhang Yi, "Captain, please follow ! The supplies are already prepared for you, just waiting for you to collect them."
Zhang Yi followed Lan Xincheng by car to the storage area.
This was a heavily guarded military zone.
After getting out of the car, Zhang Yi saw several familiar faces at the entrance of the storage area.
They were superhumans from the Outer City.
Back during the encirclent of the Moon of Corrosion, Zhang Yi had fought alongside them.
He vaguely rembered their nas: Chen Xiaoxiao, Peng Li, and Yuan Hao. The others, he couldn't quite recall.
Zhang Yi looked at Lan Xincheng, "Are these people also nourishnt for Zhu Yu?"
Lan Xincheng shook his head, "How could that be? They are all Delta-level superhumans, possessing cultivation value."
He explained to Zhang Yi, "Blizzard City's combat strength has suffered severe losses. After several battles, squad leader-level figures have also suffered many casualties, not to ntion the superhumans below them."
"Therefore, we need to replenish our forces from outside. So, whenever we discover superhumans with potential, we absorb them."
Hearing this, Zhang Yi felt rather emotional.
"Don't you have any way to identify a superhuman's talent? Like genetic testing or sothing similar?"
When he first ca to Blizzard City, he had wanted to inquire about such things.
To test people from the major bases in Tianhai City and see if there were any geniuses among them.
For example, Lu Dahai was a superhuman who suddenly awakened.
The survivors in Tianhai City numbered less than twenty thousand; those who lived were all elites. It was even possible that among them existed superhumans with Epsilon-level potential.
After the Apocalypse, many people possessed extrely strong talents, but those who could successfully awaken and survive were less than one in a hundred.
In the world, there must first be a Bole, and then there can be a thousand-li horse.
Thousand-li horses are common, but a Bole is rare.
Who knows how many people with extrely high talent died in the Apocalypse before they could even utilize their abilities.
Lan Xincheng shook his head.
"The Apocalypse has only descended for about a year. Various technologies are still developing and are far from mature. So, we cannot perform such identification either."
"But the higher-ups have already realized this and have started focusing on discovering and cultivating talent among the lower ranks."
Zhang Yi inwardly sneered.
After the Apocalypse descended, out of the tens of millions of people in Jinling City, ninety percent were eventually driven out of Blizzard City.
Among those people, how many Deltas, or even Epsilons, were buried and died?
Zhang Yi believed there must have been quite a few.
Just like him, if he hadn't been extrely cautious ti and again, facing various dangers, he might have died long ago.
But now, Zhu Zheng had also realized this problem and was starting to redy it.
Probably in the future, powerful superhumans would appear in large numbers due to the attention from above.
Zhang Yi got out of the car. Chen Xiaoxiao and the others were leading patrols. Now that they had co to Blizzard City, they were already mid-level officers.
Seeing Zhang Yi, their eyes lit up, but then they rembered Zhang Yi's status and saluted with solemn respect.
Zhang Yi nodded towards them, acknowledging the old acquaintances.
Chen Xiaoxiao and Peng Li were very excited. After Zhang Yi walked past, they looked at each other and smiled.
A big shot like Zhang Yi actually still rembered them! They felt particularly proud inside.
Lan Xincheng had soone open a huge warehouse.
The area of this warehouse was no smaller than that giant supermarket warehouse Zhang Yi had emptied back then.
Inside, supplies of all kinds were available, along with a large amount of weaponry and equipnt, even including heavy weapons.
Of course, these weapons were basically already phased out in the military.
Not because they weren't powerful enough, but because they were too bulky and heavy, unsuitable for use in the Ice Age.
At most, they could be used as city defense weapons, where they could instead display considerable power.
Giving them to Zhang Yi would just allow them to serve their greatest purpose.
Zhang Yi unceremoniously raised a hand. Manifold Phenona instantly stored all the supplies into his Dinsional Space, placing them sowhere within the Three Thousand Worlds.
Lan Xincheng said, "The technical blueprints and materials for the laser emitters you requested, as well as the genetic drugs, we need to prepare those. We'll deliver them to you shortly."
Zhang Yi nodded, "I'm going to the Deng Family. Have soone wait at the subway station. I'll collect them when I leave."
"Yes, Captain Chaos!"
Even soone as arrogant as Lan Xincheng had now completely abandoned all his pride before Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi took a car to the Deng Estate.
Visiting the Deng Family was actually just a casual move, ant to warn Zhu Zheng.
He could cooperate with any faction in Blizzard City at any ti. If Zhu Zheng ever betrayed Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi would have the ability to support a new faction to take power.
Unexpectedly, after arriving at the Deng Family and eting Deng Yuanbo and Deng Shentong, he actually gained so surprising insights.
The two received Zhang Yi. Deng Yuanbo proactively brought up the matter of the Mist Valley abyss with Zhang Yi.
"I heard that you released a demon in Mist Valley?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yi's hand holding the teacup froze mid-air.
"Demon? What do you an by that?"
Zhang Yi asked calmly.
Deng Yuanbo wouldn't ntion this for no reason; there must be another motive.
Deng Yuanbo smiled faintly.
"Our Deng Family has so connections in Shengjing as well, so we have so understanding of the Divine Source. To be blunt, we might even know more about it than the major administrative region does."
