Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies

Everyone turned to look at the engineer. He was a former academician at the Tianhai City Institute of Physics, an elite talent specially recruited by West Hill Base.

"Academician Wu, what's your idea?" Ling Feng asked.

Academician Wu explained, "Zhang Yi's spatial ability might actually support the theory of parallel universes. But as we all know, energy is conserved; the energy from an explosion doesn't just disappear. It can only be transferred."

"So his ability merely absorbs the existing materials or energy and relocates them. But what happens when the absorbed energy becomes too much?"

His explanation was straightforward, and Ling Feng immediately answered, "It would collapse!"

Academician Wu nodded. "He just stole our explosives, but he might not dare absorb explosives that are already in the process of detonation—especially when it's 500 kilograms of TNT!"

Shi Dayong, however, asked, "But what if he manages to swallow the explosive power of 500 kilograms of TNT?"

Academician Wu took a deep breath and replied, "If that's the case, then even if we used the entire power of West Hill Base, we wouldn't be able to do anything to him!"

He was stating the truth. If Zhang Yi could indeed absorb such a massive explosion, then all thermal weapons would become ineffective against him. Attacking his impenetrable fortress with just manpower? That would be a fool's dream.

Even if Zhang Yi let them attack freely, they wouldn't have the manpower or time to destroy the shelter in such extreme cold.

Ling Feng resolutely said, "We have to try to find out! Besides, I refuse to believe someone this powerful could exist in Tianhai City!"

He immediately formulated a new plan: bundling the remaining 500 kilograms of TNT and setting it to a 30-second timer. Then, they would throw the bundle towards the shelter.

Since no better solution was available, this was their best option. The demolition team quickly got to work, bundling the explosives and setting the detonation mode.

Ling Feng didn't rush to act. He ordered his soldiers to fire intensely at the shelter from all directions to distract Zhang Yi.

Soon, soldiers at various positions received the order and began shooting fiercely at the shelter. Inside, Zhang Yi was waiting for West Hill Base's next move, knowing they wouldn't let his theft of their explosives go unchallenged.

When Zhang Yi noticed intense gunfire from multiple directions targeting the shelter, he carefully observed the situation.

"Guns? Don't they know that this is just scratching an itch for my shelter?" Zhang Yi laughed when he saw the gunfire from all directions.

"So, this is just a cover. The real attack is still coming, huh?"

"Alright, let's see what else you've got," Zhang Yi murmured, smiling but remaining vigilant.

Meanwhile, two kilometers away on a small hill, the 500-kilogram bundle of explosives was finally prepared. A normal human would find it impossible to throw such a heavy object over this distance without tools.

Ling Feng walked over to the explosives and placed his hand on them. He exchanged a look with Shi Dayong.

Shi Dayong grinned and quickly stripped off his combat suit, leaving only his underwear in the freezing weather, much to Liang Yue's shock. She didn't understand what this large man was planning.

But she soon found out. Shi Dayong's muscles began writhing as if worms were crawling under his skin, his body expanding as a layer of silver fur sprouted from his pores. Sharp fangs emerged from his mouth, and his fingers turned into claws.

Shi Dayong had transformed into a towering silver-backed gorilla, almost two meters tall! Liang Yue realized that he could transform into a giant ape.

Shi Dayong and Ling Feng grabbed the bundle of explosives together. After setting the timer, Academician Wu signaled them, and the two of them hurled the explosives toward the shelter with all their might.

Although Ling Feng's stature was only a third of Shi Dayong's transformed size, he showed no sign of strain while throwing the explosives.

The bundle flew like a cannonball towards the shelter, perfectly timed to explode 50 meters away. Even if it couldn't blow a hole in the shelter, the damage would be significant.

If successful, they planned to continue this strategy since they had plenty of explosives at the base.

Through the surveillance, Zhang Yi noticed the explosives flying toward the shelter.

"So that's your game plan!"

He immediately understood the enemy's intention. Zhang Yi moved to the location where the explosives were headed, his right eye flashing white. A massive Dimensional Gate, several dozen square meters wide, opened above the shelter. Zhang Yi divided his dimensional space, separating the area where his supplies were stored from the space where the explosives would land to avoid damaging his stored belongings.

The bundle of explosives fell precisely into the Dimensional Gate. Zhang Yi observed the internal changes, only to be shocked by what he saw—the explosives were already expanding, showing intense energy reactions.

Even though the flow of time in his dimensional space was much slower, time still passed. In the outside world, everything proceeded as it should.

In the next instant, Zhang Yi's Dimensional Gate shattered. The raging energy burst open above the shelter, and the deafening explosion echoed through the area. Even Liang Yue and the others, two kilometers away, had to cover their ears.

Ling Feng and his men were ecstatic.

"It worked! This strategy is effective!"
