Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies Chapter 805: Snow Wolf

Chapter 805: Snow Wolf

The mont Zhang Yi and his team set foot on shore, they were attacked by ard groups on Rockflow Island, proving Zhang Yi's caution had been justified.

Had an ordinary rescue team co instead of him today, they would likely have been gunned down already.

"The gunfire will probably draw quite a bit of attention," Zhou Ke'er remarked to Zhang Yi.

"No matter. It seems there aren't any real experts on this island anyway," Zhang Yi replied calmly.

The fact that even Beta-level superhumans dared attack them openly suggested that even if there were superhumans on the island, their abilities weren't particularly advanced.

Not surprising, given Rockflow Island's current state of isolation.

They probably awakened a bit of power and imdiately thought themselves invincible.

Just then, one of the crew mbers suddenly raised his gun and shouted at a distant figure, "Who's there? Show yourself!"

"Don't shoot! Don't shoot! I'm from Huaxu Kingdom!"

A man approached with his hands raised. He wore a white down jacket, his face mostly hidden beneath a hood, though he didn't appear very old.

"Are you the rescue team sent by Huaxu Kingdom?" he asked cautiously as he drew nearer.

Zhang Yi exchanged glances with Zhu Yunque before asking, "Are you Snow Wolf?"

The man froze, then tears welled up in his dry eyes.

"You're... from ho?"

Zhang Yi nodded. "That's right."

The man imdiately fell to his knees, covering his face as he broke into sobs.

"Thank goodness you're finally here! Thank goodness, thank goodness!"

His words beca incoherent as he kept repeating "thank goodness" through his tears.

Zhang Yi understood his emotions. Being stranded in this isolated place without food, surrounded by murderous thugs—this kind of despair was beyond ordinary comprehension.

Zhu Yunque, moved by the man's state, hurried over to help him up.

After so questioning, Zhang Yi learned the man's identity.

His na was Li Zongyu, a person of Huaxu descent whose family had immigrated to Star Island last century. Since Star Island's primary language was Huaxu, Li Zongyu spoke it fluently.

He worked as a history teacher at a school there.

The trip to Rockflow Island had originally been a school-organized excursion.

Then the sudden frostwave trapped them here.

"Don't worry, we're here to take you ho!" Zhu Yunque said sympathetically as she listened to Li Zongyu's story.

According to Li Zongyu, after the apocalypse arrived, the island gradually descended into a living hell.

Over half of their group had already died, with most becoming food for the violent factions.

Zhang Yi remained unmoved by Li Zongyu's account.

He'd seen far worse in Tianhai City—this was nothing.

At least compared to those who'd died horrific deaths there, Li Zongyu and his group were fortunate.

They were still alive, after all.

Noticing Zhu Yunque's overly compassionate expression, Zhang Yi frowned.

They were here solely to retrieve Li Zongyu, not to make any additional promises.

That was contingent on verifying the intelligence he'd sent to Blizzard City.

"Hey, Li Zongyu," Zhang Yi said coldly, stepping forward to stare him down.

"That thing you ntioned—do you have it on you?"

Li Zongyu grew wary. After a mont's hesitation, he slowly nodded.

"I didn't bring it with . If you get us out of here, I'll hand it over as agreed."

"Besides, that item wasn't obtained on Rockflow Island. If you want to know its origin, you'll need to guarantee our safety first!"

Not from Rockflow Island?

Zhang Yi's brow furrowed slightly—so the mission wasn't over yet, was it?

He smiled faintly. "Smart. Very smart."

Li Zongyu's caution actually earned Zhang Yi's respect.

He wouldn't reveal his trump card without ensuring his own interests were secured.

"How many of you are still alive?" Zhang Yi asked flatly.

"About thirty," Li Zongyu replied.

A manageable number—far fewer than Zhang Yi had anticipated.

"Fine. I'll take you back."

With Zhu Yunque present, Zhang Yi didn't press further about the mysterious stone.

Once aboard the ship, he'd have plenty of ti for questions.

"Where are the others?" Zhang Yi glanced around but saw no one else.

Li Zongyu took a deep breath and pointed urgently into the distance. "They're hiding in a cave. I ca to investigate when I heard the gunfire."

"Take us there," Zhang Yi said with a smile. "This island still has plenty of people around. We shouldn't linger."

The gunfire had been loud enough to echo across the entire island, inevitably attracting unwanted attention.

But Zhang Yi couldn't care less about the others.

He was here for the mission—their survival ant nothing to him.

Li Zongyu quickly led the way, guiding them across the beach to the base of a cliff.

Stopping before a pile of rubble, he gestured and explained, "This is where we've been staying. Just move these rocks to enter. Sorry for the trouble—could you help?"

Zhu Yunque smiled approvingly. "Being cautious is wise. You're quite clever."

She turned to the crew. "Help move these stones."

"Wait."

Zhang Yi raised a hand to stop them, then gave Li Zongyu an amused look.

"Why can't you do it yourself?"

Li Zongyu stiffened, his smile turning strained.

Zhu Yunque frowned at Zhang Yi. "Mr. Zhang, must you be so harsh? They've suffered enough on this island. Is it so hard to have your n move a few rocks?"

Ignoring her, Zhang Yi pointed directly at Li Zongyu with his index finger.

His grin widened. "Soone bold enough to scout alone amid gunfire isn't ordinary."

"Am I right, Snow Wolf? You're an ability user too."

Zhang Yi's eyes narrowed slightly, his voice cooling.

"Your caution is admirable. But your strength ans nothing to . So don't bother hiding—it's just tedious. Understood?"

Li Zongyu let out a bitter chuckle.

"I... wasn't trying to hide anything."

With that, his body began transforming visibly before the group.

White fur sprouted across his skin as his fra expanded, fangs and claws erging.

Within monts, he'd beco a two-ter-tall white snow wolf.

A beast-type ability user.

"Figured as much. Otherwise, you wouldn't have survived here," Zhang Yi remarked.

He could tell—just a Beta-level ability user with limited potential, let alone lethality.

In a real fight, even a fully ard crew mber might take him down.

"Barely enough to protect myself. Even so, I've had to watch many around die," Li Zongyu said mournfully.

With only his own strength, he couldn't safeguard everyone.

After all, survival required food and fuel—resources worth killing for on Rockflow Island.
