Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies Chapter 718: Death Is Reincarnation

Chapter 718: Death Is Reincarnation

When he saw Zhang Ye, Gao Changkong gave him a polite smile.

He extended his hand and said, “Zhang Ye, congratulations on becoming the captain of the Celestial Hound Squad. From now on, we’re teammates—looking forward to working with you!”

Seeing that Gao Changkong’s attitude was pretty decent, Zhang Ye naturally didn’t slap away a smiling face and shook his hand.

“I’m just a temporary captain. Once the mission is done, I’ll step down. I’ll still be relying on you for a lot of guidance in the coming operation, Captain Gao.”

Gao Changkong replied, “Oh, not at all. Are you free today? I’d like to treat you to a al. We can also talk about our upcoming collaboration.”

Zhang Ye had no reason to refuse.

With Gao Changkong footing the bill, they headed to a nice restaurant in Area A.

These days in Blizzard City, all overly luxurious restaurants had been shut down.

Even people with status and rank typically dined at small to mid-sized places—for the sake of conserving food and resources.

Middle-class consumption was still acceptable, but extravagance was forbidden—at least for the vast majority of people.

Zhang Ye still vividly rembered that al at the Deng residence.

The five of them went to an elegant little restaurant. They didn’t ask for a private room, just picked a quiet spot by the window.

After exchanging so small talk, they ordered a few dishes.

In this city, at dishes were relatively cheap, but getting fresh at was nearly impossible.

As for vegetables, only dehydrated ones were available—steam-cooked before serving, but they always tasted off.

Even so, this was considered top-tier dining in Blizzard City.

Ordinary people could only eat canned food on a daily basis.

Other than Yang Xinxin, everyone else could drink a little.

Gao Changkong’s girlfriend, Gu Man, clearly ca from a prestigious background. Her manners were elegant, and she could hold her liquor without any hesitation.

Gao Changkong got straight to the point.

“I’ve already received the full update from Commander Zhu about your role, Captain Zhang. Among the Eclipse Moon Awakened, there’s soone who can predict the future. But you’re able to block that ability.”

“So, I’d like to use that as the foundation for crafting our strategy.”

“Because I believe the reason the Celestial Squad was defeated was precisely because the enemy foresaw all their moves.”

“I don’t want history to repeat itself, so I’d like your support in countering that ability during our operation.”

Zhang Ye nodded and replied, “I’m not an Awakened who’s good at offense. The commander chose to lead only because I’m more steady, and because I can neutralize the enemy’s foresight.”

“So when it cos to actual combat with Eclipse Moon, I’ll be counting on you for the heavy lifting.”

Gao Changkong gave a light smile.

“Honestly, the first step in cooperation is understanding each other. Right now, we don’t know much about each other’s abilities.”

He put down his glass of baijiu. “So let go first and introduce my power.”

Zhang Ye’s eyes flashed with surprise.

Gao Changkong was going to reveal his ability?

That was the most closely guarded secret of any Awakened—not even family mbers might know.

“That’s too generous. It’s your precious secret, after all,” Zhang Ye said politely.

But Gao Changkong just replied, “Actually, my ability isn’t much of a secret anymore.”

Seeing Zhang Ye’s skeptical look, Gao Changkong explained, “In Blizzard City, the records on Awakened are complete—especially for squad captains. The higher-ups already know everything.”

“We all work in the sa place, interact often, and sotis even fight or cooperate. So it’s impossible to keep everything under wraps.”

“Besides, my ability is a bit unique. Even if people know about it, it’s not sothing I’m worried about.”

As he said that, Zhang Ye subtly glanced at Baili Changqing.

Baili Changqing smiled. “He’s telling the truth—I can vouch for that.”

An ability that didn’t need to be kept secret?

Zhang Ye was definitely curious now.

Co to think of it, Bian Junwu and Deng Shentong were like that too.

Their powers were so overwhelming that even knowing what they could do wouldn’t help you beat them—unless your power was on the sa level.

“Well then, I’m all ears,” Zhang Ye said.

Gao Changkong smiled as he revealed his ability.

“My ability is reincarnation. Death is Reincarnation!”

“That’s right—just like the na of our Reincarnation Squad.”

“I can reincarnate between life and death. Every ti I die, I return to a point in ti before my death.”

“As for how far back I go—I’ll keep that part a little secret.”

“In short, I’m basically unkillable. And I can use reincarnation to gather intel ahead of ti. It allows to dodge deadly situations and effectively analyze the enemy.”

After hearing that, Zhang Ye let out a long exhale on the spot.

“Another unkillable ability user, huh?”

First it was Phoenixin Ren, and now here’s another guy with a reincarnation-type ability.

What the h*ll?

Was this Re:Ice Age from Scratch or sothing?

These squad captains—each one’s more of a monster than the last.

Hearing Zhang Ye’s remark, Baili Changqing couldn’t help but quip, “Aren’t you the sa?”

Gao Changkong smiled at Zhang Ye.

“My ability, in a sense, can even bypass foresight.”

He folded his hands on the table, looking completely confident.

“I’ve studied the enemy’s abilities. Even though there’s an elent of causality involved, the range of what she can predict is limited.”

“Otherwise, that kunoichi wouldn’t have been killed by Deng Shentong. And the others wouldn’t have been taken out by you.”

“So their power is not all-knowing.”

“If I run into them, I can use the first encounter to test their powers and tactics.”

“Then I trigger reincarnation and adjust my approach accordingly.”

Zhang Ye caught onto sothing.

“Your ability can only trigger once?”

Gao Changkong gave him a nod of approval.

“Good eye! From the mont the ti loop is triggered, I return to that point once per cycle. The power can only be used once per day.”

He gave an example. “Say I trigger the ability right now, at 12:51 PM. The next ti I can use it is when the tiline circles back—so tomorrow at 12:51 PM.”

“All of this is already recorded in the region’s archives. I have no reason to lie to you, so please trust .”

Even so, it was still an insanely overpowered ability.

Baili Changqing added at just the right mont, “So far, very few people have ever forced him to trigger it. Usually, he’s the one deciding when to use it.”

Zhang Ye nodded in understanding.

He looked at Gao Changkong. “So in other words, you’re plenty strong even without using your ability.”

Gao Changkong smiled brightly and spread his hands. “If you want to be a captain, a few tricks won’t cut it. You need real power!”
