Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies-Chapter 592: Who’s In Favor, Who’s Against?

Chapter 592: Who’s In Favor, Who’s Against?

Nothing about this surprised Zhang Yi.

He’d already spoken privately with Baili Changqing and was well aware of the Jiangnan District’s overall plan.

To be fair, he thought this approach was actually pretty reasonable.

If Zhang Yi were in Zhu Zheng’s position, he would’ve made the same call.

If things were allowed to spiral out of control—faction after faction fighting—it was only a matter of time before the entire Jiangnan District shattered into pieces.

And if some external force invaded at that point, what would be left to resist them?

As for Zhang Yi personally—did he have any complaints?

Sure, but not many.

Being under someone else’s command wasn’t ideal, but hey—the Jiangnan District was just that powerful.

They had the muscle, so Zhang Yi didn’t mind giving them some face.

Of course, if they ever tried to send him on a suicide mission, that would be a hard no.

Until then, he had no intention of falling out with the Jiangnan District.

After finishing his speech, Zhu Zheng once again looked around at the crowd.

After that ruthless show of force earlier, no one dared to stand up or speak out again.

“I just asked,” Zhu Zheng said coolly, “Who’s in favor, and who’s against?”

Everyone glanced around, and in unspoken agreement, kept their mouths shut.

Zhu Zheng’s tone turned cold:

“If no one says anything, I’ll take that as unanimous consent. In that case, please sign your names on this membership agreement.”

As soon as he finished speaking, his secretary Lan Xincheng adjusted his glasses and signaled the Yan Yun Guards outside.

Two teams immediately entered from the aisles, carrying stacks of prepared membership forms, handing one to each faction leader.

Signing that form meant one thing—their organization was now officially under the Jiangnan District’s authority, and would follow orders from the top.

Zhang Yi received one too.

He scanned it quickly and saw it matched exactly what Zhu Zheng had laid out—no hidden clauses.

So he signed it without hesitation.

Zhu Zheng cared about procedure, but Zhang Yi honestly didn’t.

If Zhu Zheng ever tried to send him to die, a piece of paper like this wouldn’t mean a thing.

Flexibility is key—there was no need to play the hero.

Some others signed with calm acceptance; some looked bitter and reluctant.

But in the end, fear of the Jiangnan District outweighed their anger, and one by one, they all signed the form.

Seeing the thick stack of documents in Lan Xincheng’s hands, Zhu Zheng nodded with satisfaction.

A faint smile appeared on his face.

“Don’t worry. I won’t make you work for nothing,” he said.

“Starting next month, each of you will receive a supply package—including special weapons and equipment made by the District.”

“Also, if you complete missions assigned by the District, there will be special rewards.”

After speaking, Zhu Zheng reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a small glass vial, holding it up between his fingers.

Everyone’s eyes locked onto that tiny bottle, curiosity piqued.

Zhu Zheng spoke in a solemn tone:

“This is called Compound No. 2. Its function is to enhance and unlock latent Superhuman Abilities.

Simply put—using this will make your powers stronger.”

“This compound is also listed among the mission rewards!”

The moment they heard what Compound No. 2 could do, everyone’s gaze turned fiery with desire.

Up to now, the only known way to enhance one’s Superhuman Ability was devouring—and that method came with big problems.

First, you had to kill a Superhuman and absorb their origin—easier said than done, since Superhumans were already rare.

Second, as one’s ability level increased, the effects of devouring diminished, forcing people to hunt higher-level Superhumans for stronger gains.

But those weren’t easy prey.

Now Zhu Zheng was telling them there was a drug that could enhance their powers.

Of course they wanted it.

In the Apocalypse, power is everything.

But Zhang Yi frowned slightly when he saw the vial.

He had heard some things about these compounds from Baili Changqing in passing.

The reason the Jiangnan District was so powerful, and had so many high-level Superhumans, was precisely because of these chemical enhancers.

Bian Junwu, for instance, was rumored to be a user.

Even the side effects of his mutation might’ve been caused by the compound.

Sure, you’d gain power fast—but the risks were enormous.

Zhang Yi had no interest in making that trade-off.

Still, it was clear that everyone else had taken the bait—hook, line, and sinker.

“No wonder the Jiangnan District has so many powerful Superhumans. Turns out they’ve got drug support!”

“Wait… does this mean we can get it too?”

“As long as we complete the missions they give us… That doesn’t sound so bad.”

Zhu Zheng had come with a stick in one hand and candy in the other—and most people’s resentment was melting away.

At least for now, it looked like joining the Jiangnan District came with some real perks.

Just as everyone was weighing the pros and cons, Zhu Zheng continued:

“You’ve arrived at the perfect time. As it happens, there’s an opportunity waiting for you.”

“Not long ago, a group of Ronin from Neon Nation appeared in Linhai City.”

“There are thirteen of them in total—and they’ve already taken over the city.”

“Whoever can eliminate these Ronin will receive ten vials of Compound No. 2, and also gain control over Linhai City!”

The room exploded with noise.

Because the words Neon Ronin carried some serious weight.

No matter how fierce their internal conflicts were—those were still family feuds.

But this? Foreign invaders?

Their hatred immediately shifted focus.

“Those d*mn Ronin! How dare they set foot on Huaguo’s land? They’re asking to die!”

“Do they really think just because the world ended, they get to act like they own the place?”

“Kill them! Every last one—don’t leave a single one breathing!”

Zhang Yi narrowed his eyes slightly.

Neon Ronin... bold move.

They’d occupied an entire Huaguo city.

That could only mean one thing—the original forces in Linhai City had been wiped out.

That was something no one could tolerate.

Uncle You clenched his teeth and spat a curse, “Mtherf**ers. I say we wipe them all out!”

The crowd was seething with rage.

But others weren’t just angry—they were tempted.

Ten vials of Compound No. 2—enough to significantly boost ten Superhumans.

That alone could drastically strengthen any organization.

But the real prize... was control of Linhai City.

The local powers were already gone, which meant whoever completed this mission would become Linhai’s undisputed ruler—

With official recognition and protection from the Jiangnan District.

Plenty of people were seriously tempted.

But some were also thinking hard about how dangerous the mission might be.

After all, this Ronin group had taken down an entire city’s Superhuman force…
