Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies

Chapter 199: Lap Pillow

Xu Chunlei was startled by Zhang Yi's words. He shouted in fear, "Don't do this! I'm... I'm a virgin!"

Zhang Yi rolled his eyes, while Zhou Ke'er and Yang Siya couldn't help but giggle. "Idiot! What are you thinking? I mean I'm interested in your abilities," Zhang Yi clarified.

"Here's the deal. If you really want to make peace, come here yourself. Show me you're worth negotiating with!" Zhang Yi emphasized, "Otherwise, I won't tolerate your repeated harassment. Your powers don't work on me. If I cross the river, wiping out your entire village will be a piece of cake!"

Zhang Yi's threat succeeded in scaring Xu Chunlei. "No! Don't!" Xu Chunlei shouted, standing up and pacing nervously. Facing Zhang Yi terrified him. "Destroying Xu Dong Village gains you nothing! Besides, don't think we have no defenses," Xu Chunlei attempted to sound confident.

Zhang Yi sneered, "Defenses? I'd like to see what you have. Remember, I have a sniper rifle. I don't need to get close to kill every one of you. Unless you plan never to leave your houses again!"

Xu Chunlei was extremely nervous. He had attempted a heroic act, hoping to use his abilities to negotiate peace and earn Xu Dongsheng’s approval, and perhaps win Xu Lili's admiration. But if he messed this up and angered Zhang Yi, he would become Xu Dong Village's biggest traitor.

"Wait! Zhang Yi, don't get angry. Let's talk more, okay?" Xu Chunlei pleaded. "Keeping Xu Dong Village around is beneficial to you too. Xu Dong Village and Cloud Manor can help each other against external threats in the future!"

Zhang Yi raised an eyebrow and scoffed, "Enemies? Right now, you're my biggest enemy. You tried to take everything from me, failed, and now want peace without paying a price. Does that make sense to you? As far as I'm concerned, only you, Xu Chunlei, have the right to talk to me."

"You can come or not. Whether I cross the river depends on my mood," Zhang Yi said, pushing Xu Chunlei to make a choice.

Xu Chunlei's fear of Zhang Yi grew, the shadow of Zhang Yi’s power looming large in his mind. He remembered how Zhang Yi had slaughtered his people like animals. "I'll come! I'll come, okay?" Xu Chunlei blurted out, desperate not to lose this last chance.

Zhang Yi, seeing Xu Chunlei had taken the bait, smiled. "Good. Come at 2:30 PM. It's a bit warmer then." Zhang Yi hung up before Xu Chunlei could change his mind.

On the other end, Xu Chunlei stood in shock. He couldn't believe he had agreed so impulsively. The reality of facing Zhang Yi was terrifying. He had survived before by staying hidden and using his abilities from a distance. If he got closer, he could imagine a hundred ways he might die.

Xu Chunlei collapsed to his knees, his face dark with despair. "I'm doomed this time."

Meanwhile, Zhang Yi placed his phone on the table, contemplating how to handle the afternoon meeting. He understood Xu Chunlei’s abilities well: controlling snow and ice for attacks and defense, and creating large-scale environmental effects. But Zhang Yi's dimensional gate could nullify physical attacks, and he could snipe Xu Chunlei from 1500 meters away. Up close, Zhang Yi's equipment would give him a decisive advantage.

"Should I kill him?" Zhang Yi wondered. A highly potential ability user could be a great threat but also a valuable ally. Xu Chunlei’s abilities were appealing. If abilities were ranked, Xu Chunlei's would be above Uncle You's physical enhancement, and only slightly below Zhang Yi's spatial abilities.

"I'll test him first. Decide to kill or recruit later," Zhang Yi decided. He had no deep hatred for the villagers of Xu Dong Village, having already killed over a hundred. They were like ants trying to invade his shelter, unworthy of his anger. But Xu Chunlei intrigued him.

After lunch, Zhang Yi took a nap. Yang Siya wanted to join him, but he refused. "I have important business this afternoon. I’ll deal with you later!" he said, declining her request to sleep together but allowing her to sit on the bed and provide a lap pillow.

Yang Siya obediently sat on the large bed, lifted her lace nightgown, and revealed her smooth, rounded thighs. Zhang Yi rested his head on her legs, enjoying the soft and elastic feel.

He put aside thoughts of Xu Family Town, focusing on resting to maintain his best condition for the meeting with the ice and snow ability user. "Wake me up at two," he said lazily.

"Okay, rest easy," Yang Siya replied. As Zhang Yi closed his eyes, she smiled subtly at his handsome, determined face. The more time she spent with him, the more she liked his character. She had initially thought of him as a bad man, but now found his badness intriguing and felt safe with him.

"Rest well, my little man," she whispered, gently caressing his face.

"Stop it," Zhang Yi muttered, blinking up at her.
