Chapter 901: Returning to the Land
From Su Nuanxi demanding to go ashore to her eting her final fate, Zhu Yunque did not utter a single word.
Sohow, her heart had gradually grown colder, or rather, more realistic.
She dared not provoke Zhang Yi anymore, fearing that at any mont she might et the sa end as Su Nuanxi.
Zhang Yi rested properly in his room.
After about an hour, he felt things had been handled sufficiently over there.
Only then did he get up, have Old Tian gather everyone on the ship, and prepare to go ashore.
This ti, he issued weapons to every single person, including teenagers.
While the guns in these people's hands posed no threat to Zhang Yi, Zhou Ke'er, or the crew mbers, they had lethal force against the pirates on the island who lacked protective gear.
"From now on, wipe out every single pirate on this island!"
Zhang Yi raised a finger, warning them: "You'll be living here for so ti to co. If even one survivor remains and they reveal your location, just look at that pile on the beach to see what will happen to all of you."
Everyone shuddered with fear, nodding frantically in agreent.
Then Old Tian began lowering the lifeboats to ferry everyone ashore.
They comnced a thorough cleansing of the island.
Facing Zhang Yi's group with their absolute firepower superiority, the poorly-equipped pirates on the island stood no chance of fighting back.
There was a superhuman among the pirates too.
But before Zhang Yi, he was as weak as a three-year-old child. Zhang Yi casually shot through his head with a single bullet.
In just two hours, they had completely cleared out this small island.
Zhang Yi arrived at the pirates' nest - a warm, deep cave perfectly suited for sheltering from the severe cold in this icy apocalypse.
Inside, the sll of blood was exceptionally strong, with bones scattered everywhere. The stench of decay was enough to make anyone nauseous.
Zhang Yi called everyone here and told them:
"From now on, you'll be living here for a while."
"I'm going back to Huaxu Kingdom first, then I'll bring reinforcents to take all of you back."
Hearing that Zhang Yi was leaving, everyone felt sowhat anxious, worried he might abandon them here.
Only after Zhang Yi repeatedly explained that the crew mbers and Zhu Yunque would remain temporarily did they feel reassured.
This ti, however, it was Zhu Yunque's turn to be afraid.
She rushed anxiously to Zhang Yi's side, pleading: "Zhang Yi, don't leave here! Can't you take with you?"
Zhang Yi looked at her and said: "I can only take one person per round trip at most. Don't worry, just wait here for to return."
Truthfully, taking two people wasn't impossible - Zhou Ke'er and Zhu Yunque together weighed only around two hundred pounds.
But Zhang Yi needed to guard against encountering enemies during spatial traversal, so he needed to keep one hand free.
Besides, he was only protecting Zhu Yunque out of respect for Zhu Zheng - he didn't consider her particularly important anyway. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on novel•fire
Why would he take risks for her?
Zhu Yunque looked wronged, but she knew her status in Zhang Yi's heart was far below Zhou Ke'er's. She could only say:
"Then you must co back quickly. I'll be waiting here for your return."
Zhang Yi had Old Tian collect everyone's communication devices to prevent accidental operation that might reveal their current location.
Then he left them enough water and food to last for so ti before preparing to leave the island with Zhou Ke'er.
Holding Zhou Ke'er with one arm, enhanced by his combat suit, her ninety-so pound weight felt incredibly light to him, requiring minimal physical exertion.
Zhang Yi opened two Dinsional Gates heading north, instantly disappearing from everyone's view.
Old Tian and the others stood guard at the cave entrance with weapons, silently waiting in their hearts for Zhang Yi to return and take them away.
...
The facts proved that without extra burdens, Zhang Yi's escape ability was absolutely top-tier.
Spatial traversal could cover about 1000 ters per jump. Unless he encountered a superhuman who could forcibly restrict his movent, he could escape any trap.
This thod of traveling with a companion made them undetectable even to the Colombian Navy forces, reputed to be the world's strongest naval power.
After more than half an hour of journeying, Zhang Yi and Zhou Ke'er finally reached land.
After briefly determining their current position and adjusting their direction, another dozen minutes brought them back to the long-awaited Tianhai City.
Seeing Tianhai City's landmark tall television tower, both Zhang Yi and Zhou Ke'er couldn't help but exhale long sighs of relief.
This trip had actually taken four to five months!
They had finally returned, and it felt like a century had passed.
Zhang Yi turned on his communication device and contacted ho.
"I'm back!"
Soon, he was back in the warm, comfortable shelter.
Everyone was overjoyed to see them return.
Yang Siya, Yang Xinxin, and Lu Keran were moved to tears of happiness, all rushing forward to hug Zhang Yi.
Hua Hua owed and leaped onto Zhang Yi's head first, lying there while licking his ears and cheek, making Zhang Yi giggle from the ticklish sensation.
Fatty Xu and Old You were equally excited, though they had no chance to intervene. They could only stand by, smiling at Zhang Yi while murmuring: "Wonderful, you're finally back!"
This was probably the warmth of ho.
When people grow weary from traveling, they always yearn for a place where their hearts and bodies can find belonging.
This group that had initially banded together just to survive had gradually beco like family.
They knew nothing about everything that had happened during this ti at sea.
Zhang Yi had briefly ntioned the situation to Yang Xinxin when he last shut down all communications.
So they had been extrely worried all this ti that sothing might happen to Zhang Yi and Zhou Ke'er at sea.
Now seeing them return safe and sound, how could they not be excited?
Everyone gathered around Zhang Yi and Zhou Ke'er, all talking at once, asking about their experiences at sea.
Originally, Zhang Yi had planned to return imdiately to bring Zhu Yunque back first.
The others could stay at sea a while longer without issue.
But Zhu Yunque was Zhu Zheng's niece - if sothing happened to her, it would be difficult to explain to Zhu Zheng.
However, the mont Zhang Yi returned to the shelter, this thought was temporarily set aside.
He had been adrift at sea for four months, and it had been truly agonizing.
Especially in the Ice Fog Sea Region, that oppressive, eerie, and stifling atmosphere had made him extrely irritable.
Only at tis like these could one truly appreciate the warmth and preciousness of ho.
Zhang Yi first took a warm shower, changed into soft, clean pajamas, then ca to the living room area.
Yang Siya and Zhou Haii were preparing food in the kitchen.
Yang Xinxin, Lu Keran, and the others were all on the sofa, looking at Zhang Yi with expectant eyes.
They had so much they wanted to say to Zhang Yi, and they wanted to hear about Zhang Yi and Zhou Ke'er's experiences at sea.
Zhang Yi sipped his steaming hot cappuccino and began telling them the story of their ti at sea.
