Chapter 902: Everyone Is Improving
Zhang Yi recounted everything that had happened at sea, and as everyone listened, they couldn't help but let out waves of exclamations.
At times they scoffed endlessly at the behavior of the people on the ship.
At other times they felt worried about the dangers encountered along the journey.
Especially upon learning that Zhang Yi had sunk a Colombian Navy warship, it made everyone gasp with lingering fear.
"The Colombian Ocean Fleet contains a top-tier superhuman with a superhuman ability index of 18,000 points!"
Zhang Yi took a sip of coffee and said calmly to everyone.
Fatty Xu couldn't help but swallow hard. "E-eighteen thousand points! That's almost 10,000 points higher than you, boss!!"
Although the superhuman ability index doesn't absolutely represent combat strength, with such a massive difference, there's no doubt the opponent's power is overwhelmingly superior.
Old You also frowned and said anxiously, "The entire Jiangnan Region doesn't even have a single Epsilon-level superhuman. If we encounter him, how should we deal with it?"Zhang Yi shook his head and said calmly, "No need to worry too much. The East Sea Region has people holding the line there."
Even top-tier superhumans can't act completely freely when facing forces possessing absolutely powerful weapons.
No matter how strong you are, if targeted by an H-submarine, one Death Reaper of Love with a 100-kilometer coverage range can instantly kill you!
Unless you possess special abilities like Takeuchi Mayumi's precognitive danger sense, even Zhang Yi would find it difficult to survive in such circumstances.
Yang Xinxin leaned against Zhang Yi, looking at him with curious eyes. "Brother, what do you plan to do next? Are you going to return to Blizzard City first, then have Zhu Zheng send people to rescue them?"
Zhang Yi thought for a moment and said, "I plan to go rescue Zhu Yunque first."
A dark glint flashed in Yang Xinxin's eyes.
"But brother, according to what you've said, the Colombian Navy must be trying every possible method to capture you now."
"They've deployed heavy blockades around the Huaxu Kingdom's maritime territory. Even if you go to Zhu Zheng, they won't be able to send ships out."
"In the end, it will still fall to you to take action."
Zhang Yi naturally understood this point. He spread his hands. "As long as I show myself, the Jiangnan Region can release news that I've already returned with important intelligence. By then, the Colombian Navy won't have any reason to blockade the maritime territory anymore!"
"That might not necessarily be true!"
Yang Xinxin said with a smiling expression. "If I were a Colombian officer, I would continue monitoring all maritime activities from Huaxu Kingdom. And I'd be even more cautious than before!"
At this point, since the intelligence about the Divine Source had been brought back by Zhang Yi, he didn't hide it from the household members and told them about the existence of such a thing.
Yang Xinxin said, "The intelligence was obtained by you from the ocean territory, so they might speculate about the specific location of the Divine Source."
"Most likely, it's not within Huaxu Kingdom's mainland territory."
"This way, they would monitor us even more closely. Don't you think so?"
Zhang Yi smiled. "What you're saying makes complete sense. However, this kind of matter isn't something I need to worry about for now. Let Zhu Zheng and the others handle the game of strategy!"
"At the regional level, matters become extremely complex."
Yang Xinxin countered, "But brother, don't you want to obtain the Divine Source yourself?"
A meaningful smile appeared in Zhang Yi's eyes.
He rubbed his hands together and said, "That depends on whether the benefits of obtaining it are proportional to the risks."
Zhang Yi decided that after resting for one day and adjusting his condition to its peak, he would go bring Zhu Yunque back to hand over to Zhu Zheng.
Then he would tell him about the Divine Source intelligence and let Zhu Zheng handle the arrangements afterward.
No matter how great the benefits of the Divine Source might be, his share would definitely be included.
After all, currently he is the Jiangnan Region's highest combat power. If Zhu Zheng wants to obtain the Divine Source under everyone's watchful eyes, he must rely on Zhang Yi's strength.
Yang Xinxin nodded, then suddenly looked at the others. "You haven't been back for a long time. We haven't been idle at home either. We've prepared some surprises for you. You should take a look—they'll definitely be helpful to you."
Zhang Yi looked at everyone curiously. "Oh? Then I'll have to look forward to this."
Zhang Yi smiled. "What you're saying makes complete sense. However, this kind of matter isn't something I need to worry about for now. Let Zhu Zheng and the others handle the game!"
"Zhang Yi, try this!"
Her eyes sparkled as she looked at him with an expectant expression.
Zhang Yi reached out and took the container, taking out a piece of pastry and putting it in his mouth.
Soon his eyes lit up. "The supernatural energy provided by your ability-boosting food has increased!"
The energy provided by Yang Siya's ability-boosting food was at least twice what it used to be!
This was extremely important for Zhang Yi.
Considering his current ability level, after every battle he needs to consume large amounts of food to recover his supernatural energy.
But normal eating and digestion recover supernatural energy very slowly.
With Yang Siya's ability-boosting food, he gains a special advantage in future battles—the ability to sustain prolonged combat.
Yang Siya, having received Zhang Yi's praise, happily laughed.
She raised her chin, revealing her snow-white neck, her graceful figure captivating to the eye.
"Of course! While you were away, I've been working hard too! You just didn't see it."
Because she makes ability-boosting food, her appetite has reached about ten people's worth, eating until she feels sick every day.
The people in the shelter weren't living leisurely either.
They knew that with Zhang Yi's talent, he would become even stronger in the future.
If they didn't work hard to improve themselves, eventually they wouldn't be able to keep up with Zhang Yi's pace.
Therefore, everyone had been quietly working hard in their own ways.
Even Zhou Haimei, who has no special abilities, put great effort into studying culinary arts and practiced yoga for two to three hours daily.
Zhang Yi nodded. "You've done very well. You've worked hard."
Yang Siya, rarely praised by Zhang Yi outside the bedroom, felt her nose tingle and little pearls welled up in her eyes.
"As long as I can be helpful to you!"
Old You and Fatty Xu also hurried to show their training results from this period.
Old You and Fatty Xu go to Blizzard City regularly.
Both have become accustomed to receiving special training.
Old You has currently pushed his abilities to the absolute limit of Gamma-level—his physical body can no longer be strengthened.
So he started relying on external tools.
For example, he's become obsessed with large-caliber weapons.
As for Fatty Xu, when he goes to Blizzard City, he's practicing something quite new.
Nobody knows exactly what he's training, but every time he returns, he appears exhausted yet spiritually refreshed.
But what Zhang Yi looked forward to most was still the mechanical expert Lu Keran.
Over the past four months, she has significantly improved her 【Divine Mechanism Operation】 ability, and the armaments she develops have become even more powerful.
