Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies

Chapter 459: Oblivion

As the zombie horde approached, the crowd’s expressions revealed disgust but not fear.

After all, this group comprised Tianhai City’s top fighters. Such a small number of zombies posed no real threat to them.

However, everyone was preoccupied with their own base matters and didn’t want to waste time here.

“What rotten luck! Zombies are everywhere! Has Tianhai City become their lair?” Xiao Honglian cursed, her brows furrowed in anger.

The group prepared for battle, ready to spend some time wiping out the zombies completely.

Wei Dinghai reminded Bian Junwu and his team, “We must kill every single one of them. Otherwise, they’ll carry intelligence about us back, and the next wave will be even harder to handle!”

“Oh? Is that so?” Bian Junwu said nonchalantly.

He suddenly descended the steps, reaching up to remove his sunglasses as he walked.

When he finally removed them, the crowd noticed that his eyes weren’t the usual black or sky-blue hues of foreigners but an eerie grayish-white.

Yet, within that grayish-white hue glimmered a peculiar, sickly light. It wasn’t the dullness of cataracts, but its unsettling glow struck a deep chord, leaving those who looked into them profoundly shaken.

Bian Junwu stepped to the forefront.

Everyone immediately understood—this captain of the Jiangnan District investigation team was about to make his move.

Zhang Yi’s eyes gleamed with curiosity. He was eager to see just how strong this captain was.

The zombie horde roared as it closed in, now less than 500 meters away.

Their blood-red eyes and frostbitten, rotting flesh became clearly visible.

Bian Junwu stared ahead and murmured softly, “Oblivion.”

The next moment, an intense white light engulfed the space before them.

The light was so dazzling that it erased all other scenery, leaving only Bian Junwu’s tall, imposing silhouette.

Instinctively, Zhang Yi raised his hand to shield his eyes, glancing around at his surroundings.

The only things visible were a few people standing close to him and their faint shadows. Everything else had vanished.

Meanwhile, the massive zombie horde before them—thousands strong—disintegrated into dust in an instant, scattered cleanly into nothingness.

After what felt like an eternity, the light gradually faded, and the surrounding scenery reappeared.

Zhang Yi, Xiao Honglian, Wei Dinghai, and the others looked around, dazed and at a loss for words.

Moments ago, everyone had been blinded.

Suddenly, Wei Dinghai raised his right hand and pointed forward, his voice trembling in disbelief.

“Look… Look over there!”

The crowd followed his gaze.

Not a trace of the zombie horde remained—only shattered dust particles, swept away by the wind.

Zhang Yi’s pupils contracted sharply as he struggled to comprehend what he was seeing.

“Those thousands of zombies… were they all wiped out?”

Eliminating thousands of zombies in a single blow—such a feat was nothing short of extraordinary.

Zhang Yi had encountered many powerful superhumans before, such as Ling Feng and Xiao Honglian.

While they were undeniably strong, their abilities still operated within the realm of understanding.

But Bian Junwu?

His power defied logic entirely.

One glance was enough to obliterate thousands of zombies into dust.

What kind of terrifying ability was this?

There was a time when Zhang Yi believed that after absorbing the powers of multiple superhumans, he might not be the strongest, but he was among the elite. ȓἈɴổ฿ЁŠ

Yet today, Bian Junwu had taught him a humbling lesson.

If he were to face Bian Junwu in battle, could even his Dimensional Gate withstand such devastating power?

The silence at the scene was deafening. No one dared to speak or even breathe too heavily.

After a long pause, Wu Di remarked to Kong Sheng, “The captain told us to hold back, yet he just went all out!”

Kong Sheng nodded, adding, “Maybe he realized you were right. Only by showcasing overwhelming strength can he ensure everyone will obey his commands willingly.”

They weren’t wrong.

Before, Wei Dinghai, Xiao Honglian, and Xing Tian obeyed Bian Junwu mainly out of fear of the Jiangnan District’s power.

Now, having witnessed his might firsthand, any trace of defiance had been completely extinguished.

Bian Junwu slowly put his sunglasses back on.

But before long, he suddenly clutched his mouth and broke into a violent coughing fit.

Vice-Captain Baili Changqing approached him, concerned.

“Captain, you should’ve let us handle these pests. There was no need for you to act personally!”

Bian Junwu straightened up, his voice icy.

“Everyone’s busy. There’s no time to waste here.”

Zhang Yi noticed how Bian Junwu clenched his right fist and tucked it into the pocket of his black coat.

“It seems like he’s not in good health,” Zhang Yi thought, quickly deducing that Bian Junwu’s condition wasn’t normal.

With the Jiangnan District’s resources, any ordinary illness should’ve been curable.

Could it be an incurable disease? Or perhaps an injury linked to his superhuman ability?

Zhang Yi’s mind raced with speculation.

Bian Junwu turned to the stunned crowd and said, “Alright, everyone. You can go back now. Stay in touch and be ready to act immediately when I contact you.”

Wei Dinghai and the others hastily nodded, their tones now reverent and deferential.

As the crowd departed the central building, Zhang Yi could sense they were still grappling with the shock of Bian Junwu’s power.

His ability was leagues above anything seen in Tianhai City.

With a cheerful smile, Zhang Yi approached Bian Junwu.

“Mr. Bian, are you feeling unwell? I have doctors at my shelter who could take a look.”

Bian Junwu chuckled faintly. “It’s nothing, just an old ailment. Rest will suffice.”

Zhang Yi’s heart skipped a beat.

“No need for a doctor?”

It seemed his suspicions were correct—this was likely an incurable condition or a permanent internal injury caused by Bian Junwu’s ability.

Deciding not to press the matter, Zhang Yi changed the subject.

“It’s quite cold here. Why don’t we all head to my place for a bit?”

Bian Junwu smiled and nodded. “That sounds good. I have plenty I want to discuss with you.”

Bian Junwu’s rare smile, reserved for Zhang Yi, startled not only Fatty Xu, Liang Yue, and Uncle You but also the members of the investigation team.

Even so, everyone boarded their vehicles, with Zhang Yi’s group leading the way toward the shelter.

In the investigation team’s vehicle, Wu Di couldn’t hold back his curiosity.

“Captain, why are you so nice to Zhang Yi? Is he your long-lost illegitimate son?”

The vehicle erupted in laughter.

Bian Junwu’s lips twitched slightly, though his amusement was subtle.

He was used to Wu Di’s playful antics and didn’t take it to heart.

“He’s no ordinary man,” Bian Junwu said, his tone thoughtful. “I can sense that his strength is exceptional, far beyond the other faction leaders.”

“This might just be a promising talent.”
