Chapter 680: Points Card

The two armed helicopters returned to Blizzard City.

As they flew over the city, Zhang Yi cautiously watched through the window.

Sure enough, the city was under lockdown, with soldiers armed to the teeth stationed everywhere.

That pretty much confirmed the failure of the Celestial Squad's operation.

Zhang Yi couldn't help but feel a bit of regret.

Although he hadn't interacted much with Deng Shentong, he quite admired the guy’s personality.

Zhang Yi still owed him a crate of Origin Bullets, after all!

The helicopter landed inside the indoor airport — the massive dome above opened to allow them in, then slowly closed again.

As the helicopter's hatch opened, Zhang Yi, Liang Yue, and Hua Hua prepared to disembark first.

After all, the others were either injured or medical personnel — someone would surely come to transfer them to the infirmary later.

Zhang Yi figured he might as well go find Baili Changqing first to get a grasp of the situation.

But just as the hatch opened, Zhang Yi saw a group of over a dozen Yan Yun Guards waiting outside.

The three men leading them, judging by the badges on their shoulders, were officers from the Yan Yun Guards.

When they saw Zhang Yi, the officer with a major’s rank stepped forward and gave him a crisp, formal salute!

"Welcome back, Mr. Zhang Yi!"

"Thank you for the outstanding contributions you made in this battle. You single-handedly took down several members of the Moon of Corrosion and restored the honor of not just Jiangnan District, but all of Huaxu Nation!"

The major’s tone was full of respect and excitement.

As someone high-ranking in the Yan Yun Guards, he was well aware of what had happened at Jiangning Plaza.

The Celestial Squad had been nearly wiped out — only Deng Shentong managed to kill one member of Moon of Corrosion.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yi had taken down several!

If not for Zhang Yi, this battle would have been a total humiliation for Jiangnan District.

And Huaxu Nation would have become a laughingstock among the other regions and countries.

At the very least, Zhang Yi’s actions had saved them from total disgrace.

As a soldier, the Yan Yun Major fully understood how difficult that achievement was.

It was akin to driving a tank alone into enemy territory, facing twelve opponents — and pulling off a one-versus-eight kill!

It was only natural for them to revere him.

Hearing this, everyone else still aboard the helicopter was dumbfounded.

Especially Mo Zhongning, Li Weihai, Yuan Hao, and the others who had previously doubted Zhang Yi — their jaws dropped wide open.

"D-did I just hallucinate?"

Mo Zhongning stared blankly at the bedridden Yuan Hao.

"They — hahaha — they said Zhang Yi took down several members of Moon of Corrosion by himself? No way, my ears must be broken!"

Yuan Hao’s expression was also frozen. "I think... I must have heard wrong too."

Nearby, Chen Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but mock them, "Is it that hard to admit someone else is stronger? Zhang Yi truly killed multiple members of Moon of Corrosion — we saw two of them die right before our eyes."

"How... how could this happen?!"

Mo Zhongning’s face was full of disbelief.

He stared at Zhang Yi standing at the hatch, his mind swirling with confusion.

We’re all Superhumans from the Outer City. Why were we slaughtered like vegetables, and he turned out to be so fearless?

Is this... the gap between worlds?

The Yan Yun Major gave a quick signal, and a soldier carrying a tray covered in red silk approached.

On the tray were several black cards — they looked like they were made of a mix between metal and composite materials.

The Yan Yun Major picked up one black card and handed it to Zhang Yi.

"This is the Points Card you earned for your contributions. With this card, you can spend freely in Blizzard City and exchange it for supplies from headquarters."

The major then smiled and added, "You accumulated a total of 420 million points during this operation!"

Zhang Yi whistled. "Sounds like a lot! But I’m not really familiar with how this thing works — how’s the value calculated?"

The Yan Yun Major thought for a moment, then explained:

"Points are conceptually similar to pre-apocalypse currency. However, given how much higher prices are now, the purchasing power of points is actually stronger than money was before."

Zhang Yi’s eyes immediately lit up. He took the Points Card and casually slung his arm around the major’s shoulders like old pals.

"With this thing... can I buy anything I want?"

The Yan Yun Major lowered his voice and said, "Some items — especially cutting-edge tech weapons — require special authorization to purchase."

"But given your achievements, most resources will be available to you."

Zhang Yi nodded in satisfaction.

There weren’t many things he really needed — but if Blizzard City had anything that tempted him, it was their advanced tech weaponry.

Like the Black Combat Suit he was wearing now.

With it, even without using his Superhuman Energy, his physical strength and reflexes had noticeably improved.

"Where do I go to exchange for gear? The same place where I picked up weapons before?" Zhang Yi asked.

The Yan Yun Major nodded. "Exactly. Your Points Card grants you access to higher-level storage rooms."

"Good, thanks!"

Zhang Yi smiled happily.

The Yan Yun Major said seriously, "No — I should be the one thanking you!"

And he meant it.

In principle, it should’ve been the District soldiers who defended against foreign threats.

Zhang Yi, as a civilian, wasn’t obligated to charge into battle.

Yet he had done it — and salvaged the District’s dignity. It was genuinely shameful for them to rely on a civilian.

At that moment, the others aboard the helicopter couldn’t sit still any longer.

They had also risked their lives in this operation — they wanted to know what they had earned.

Mo Zhongning called out, "Sir, what about our Points Cards?"

The Yan Yun Major glanced at him and signaled his subordinates to start distributing cards.

One by one, the others received their Points Cards.

Although their achievements weren’t as big as Zhang Yi’s, they had still fought for Jiangnan District — so the Yan Yun Guards treated them fairly.

Of course, the soldiers clearly showed even more respect toward Zhang Yi.

After getting his Points Card, Mo Zhongning couldn’t help but ask, "How much do we have on ours?"

The Yan Yun soldier answered calmly:

"Except for Mr. Zhang Yi, everyone else received 20 million points."

"Fallen Superhumans will receive an additional 50 million points compensation, to be given to their families or their organizations."

When Mo Zhongning and the others heard that they had only gotten 20 million points, while Zhang Yi had 420 million, they all sighed heavily.

Comparing yourself to others is the road to heartbreak.

They had nearly died — and earned only a fraction of the points.

It wasn’t a small amount — but compared to Zhang Yi, who was completely unscathed and had earned the most by far — it was almost laughable.

Still, they could only feel envy.

After confirming that Zhang Yi really had slain multiple high-ranking members of Moon of Corrosion, their hearts were filled not with jealousy, but deep respect.

Only fools would resent those vastly stronger than themselves.
