Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies

Chapter 425: Eerie Encounter

No one could have anticipated that the seemingly sluggish and apathetic zombies would suddenly become so unpredictable.

In an instant, they unleashed astonishing speed, completely surrounding Uncle You and Liang Yue!

Before Zhang Yi could even react, the zombies had already engulfed the two, layers upon layers, their guttural roars chilling to the bone.

“W**t the h*ll!”

Uncle You’s furious shout rang out as he swung his entrenching tool, sending a dozen zombies flying and cleaving three of them cleanly in half.

These zombies were rigid and remarkably tough, nothing like the decayed corpses often seen on TV that could be easily destroyed.

Fortunately, both Uncle You and Liang Yue were Enhancement-Type Superhumans, with formidable close-combat skills. Even surrounded by thousands of zombies, they still managed to hold their ground and fight back effectively.

Liang Yue wielded a Tang Sword, the blade’s gleam slicing through the air like cold moonlight.

However, the efficiency of their attacks was too low, and the horde of zombies was overwhelming.

If this continued, they would surely exhaust themselves and be devoured alive!

This outcome was beyond anyone’s expectations.

Mere moments ago, Zhang Yi and the others still thought of zombies as the slow-moving, fragile creatures often portrayed in TV dramas—so weak that even a child could kill one with a stick.

But the zombies they faced now were vastly different—stronger, fiercer, faster, and harder to kill!

Even a headshot wouldn’t stop them. How were they supposed to kill such creatures?

Looking at the dismembered zombie corpses on the ground, still struggling toward Uncle You and Liang Yue, Zhang Yi felt a shiver run down his spine.

“What on earth are these things? Why won’t they die?”

Fatty Xu and Lu Keran were pale with fear. They quickly opened fire, trying to kill as many zombies as possible to rescue Uncle You and Liang Yue.

But instead of eliminating the zombies, the gunfire attracted their attention.

A portion of the massive horde broke off, roaring as they charged toward Zhang Yi and his group!

Zhang Yi remained calm. Since even a headshot couldn’t kill these zombies, firearms were useless.

Holstering his pistol, he made a gesture in the air, tracing a dimensional shape.

A massive Dimensional Gate appeared, blocking the zombies’ path toward the three of them.

The horde moved with terrifying speed, comparable to sprint champions. But before reaching Zhang Yi, they disappeared one by one into the Dimensional Gate.

Fatty Xu and Lu Keran finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Thank goodness for the boss’s Dimensional Gate! We can use this to handle the entire horde of brainless zombies!”

However, just as Fatty Xu finished speaking, the zombies suddenly stopped in front of the Dimensional Gate.

“Huh?”

Zhang Yi frowned, sensing something was amiss.

Zombies were supposed to be mindless and incapable of intelligence.

Yet these creatures had stopped, as if aware of the danger. This was entirely illogical!

Two possibilities came to mind:

1. They weren’t truly dead and were instead some kind of intelligent creatures.
2. Someone was secretly controlling them!

The second possibility seemed more likely.

“Could it be a Superhuman capable of controlling zombies? Like the time when soldiers’ corpses mysteriously disappeared?”

“If that’s the case, then everything makes sense!”

If they could locate and eliminate the controller among the horde, the crisis would be resolved.

However, Zhang Yi felt a headache coming on at the thought of finding the controller among thousands of zombies—it was like searching for a needle in a haystack!

He decided on a more straightforward approach.

With a wave of his hand, a heavy tank appeared on the snow, its weight compressing the snowy surface.

“Uncle You, Liang Yue, follow my command. When I count to three, jump as high as you can!”

As Zhang Yi spoke, he climbed into the tank and began loading the cannon.

Although he wasn’t great at driving a tank, Uncle You had taught him how to fire its cannon.

Understanding his plan, Uncle You and Liang Yue nodded.

“Got it!”

Zhang Yi finished loading the shell and started the countdown.

“Three, two, one!”

As soon as he said “one,” Uncle You and Liang Yue fought back the zombies surrounding them with all their might and leaped into the air.

Both being Enhancement-Type Superhumans, their physical strength was extraordinary—they jumped over ten meters high!

The tank’s cannon roared with a deafening boom.

“Boom!!!”

A shell detonated in the center of the horde, scattering hundreds of zombies in a spectacular explosion of limbs and debris.

The horde was momentarily dispersed, giving Uncle You and Liang Yue a chance to retreat toward the Shelter.

But the relentless zombies pursued them, their terrifying speed allowing them to quickly close the distance.

Driven by their instinct to hunt the living, the zombies gathered together, conveniently lining up directly in front of the tank’s cannon.

Zhang Yi loaded another shell and fired!

Another explosion scattered hundreds of zombies, but many remained, charging from the sides.

Lu Keran was so frightened that his legs gave out.

Thankfully, Uncle You and Liang Yue intercepted the stragglers, eliminating the remaining zombies.

Realizing that decapitating them wasn’t enough, they figured out that destroying the bodies or severing the legs was more effective.

Zhang Yi stepped out of the tank and retrieved a peculiar-looking piece of equipment from his Spatial Storage—a device with two large metal canisters connected to a long nozzle by pipes.

It resembled a pesticide sprayer but was actually a flamethrower, which Zhang Yi had taken from West Hill Base but never used. Its short range and cumbersome design made it inconvenient.

However, it was perfect for dealing with these unkillable zombies.

Lying prone, Zhang Yi aimed the flamethrower. A fiery dragon over ten meters long erupted from the nozzle!

Even in the freezing temperatures, the flamethrower’s intense heat set the zombies ablaze.

Their clothes caught fire, and their bodies burned fiercely.

The zombies’ proximity to each other amplified the flames’ effectiveness.

At first, Zhang Yi worried the burning zombies might charge toward them. But instead, they became erratic, their limbs twisting wildly as they let out eerie screeches.

As the team prepared to fight with all their might, the zombies suddenly turned tail and fled!
