If you’re on the battlefield, I’ll just end up worrying about you. Don’t be silly, kiddo.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While battlefield medics are important, they shouldn’t become a liability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Ke’er replied, “That might’ve been true before, but this time it’s a large-scale battle. Adequate logistical support will be essential.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I imagine other factions will bring their own support personnel as well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uncle You chimed in, “Miss Zhou has a point. With nearly all the combat power of Tianhai City’s top five factions gathered, this fight won’t end quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If it turns into a prolonged battle, logistics will be critical—especially medical personnel!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His sincere gaze fixed on Zhang Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You must understand, deaths on the battlefield are common, and having a doctor is crucial.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their words gave Zhang Yi pause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although his strength was formidable, in a chaotic battle of this magnitude, even he couldn’t guarantee he’d avoid injury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the sub-zero temperatures of minus 60 degrees, even a minor wound could lead to tissue necrosis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Best case: permanent disability. Worst case: death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he kept up his stubbornness and ended up injured, regret would be pointless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, he knew that his companions needed to adapt to harsh environments—including battlefields—for the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of contemplation, Zhang Yi nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, you can come with us this time. I’ll arrange for you to stay at the rear. Just hide and focus on treating us if we’re hurt.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Ke’er, overjoyed, threw her arms around Zhang Yi’s neck, her bright eyes shimmering with happiness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I understand! I’ll fulfill my duties as a doctor!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Zhou Ke’er take the initiative, Lu Keran couldn’t help but step forward as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Patting her modest chest, she declared, “Big Brother, take me along too! My marksmanship has improved a lot lately.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi glanced at the short-haired girl and said plainly, “Did you forget that guns don’t work well on zombies?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Keran froze. “Uh…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi cut her off before she could say more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Except for Ke’er, no one else is coming. Everyone stays in the shelter.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frustrated, Lu Keran sank back into her seat, while Yang Xinxin remained calm and indifferent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Zhou Haimei and Yang Siyah exchanged subtle glances of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike Zhou Ke’er, they lacked the courage to join Zhang Yi on the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no combat abilities, they’d only end up dead if they went. Staying safely in the shelter was undoubtedly the better option.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Keran, despite being left behind, busied herself inspecting the snow vehicle for Zhang Yi, ensuring it was free of any issues and fully fueled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Zhang Yi and the others prepared their weapons and equipment. Once everything was ready, they prepared to set off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before departure, Zhang Yi handed Zhou Ke’er a small silver handgun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Guns are pretty ineffective against zombies, and you can’t handle high-caliber ones. Keep this for self-defense—it works well enough against humans.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The immediate threat might be the zombie horde, but Zhang Yi never fully trusted the other factions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were allies of convenience, united by shared interests, but betrayal could come at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Zhou Ke’er’s marksmanship wasn’t great, it was adequate for self-defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took the gun and tucked it into the inner layer of her combat uniform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group locked down the shelter and boarded two snow vehicles, heading toward the Bai Xue Jiao’s headquarters in Tianfeng District.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the Bai Xue Jiao, preparations were underway as they learned of the investigation team and other factions heading their way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bian Junwu and his team arrived promptly, met by Zheng Yixian and a group of priests and clergymen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The so-called “welcoming” was perfunctory at best, with no time for elaborate preparations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bian Junwu and the others didn’t care for ceremonies, arriving unannounced and unbothered by the lack of formality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they entered the area, they noticed bloodstains splattered everywhere, with severed limbs yet to be cleaned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a corner, someone gnawed on a blood-soaked piece of giant rat meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking in the scene, the seasoned veterans showed no shock—they had seen worse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Yixian approached Bian Junwu and his team, nodding slightly as he spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Welcome to the Bai Xue Jiao. May I ask the purpose of summoning all the factions here so suddenly?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If we’d been informed in advance, we could have prepared better.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Di smirked, folding his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Look at the state of this place. What’s there to prepare? We’re here to clean up your mess. Just follow our lead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The priests behind Zheng Yixian bristled with anger at Wu Di’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing their displeasure, Wu Di raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What? You look like you’re not convinced. Want to spar? I can take you all on!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unable to hold back, Han Chang bared his teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t get cocky! Even if you’re strong, we’re not pushovers!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Han Chang, be quiet!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Yixian cut him off sharply, then turned to Wu Di.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I apologize on his behalf. The recent heavy casualties have left our people emotionally strained.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Di opened his mouth to retort but fell silent at a slight glance from Bian Junwu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bian Junwu addressed Zheng Yixian directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ll discuss the plan once everyone is here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw no need to explain matters to Zheng Yixian alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Yixian smiled politely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Very well. Would you like to rest in the church area while you wait?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gestured for the investigation team to proceed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bian Junwu led the group forward, the others close behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they walked, Bian Junwu asked, “How many of your people have died in recent days?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Yixian hesitated briefly before replying in a somber tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thousands of followers have fallen to the zombies during these battles. Some infected couldn’t be saved, so we had to humanely dispose of them to prevent further mutations.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bian Junwu raised an eyebrow. “Can you give me an exact number?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He cared deeply about the figures, as they revealed the extent of the zombie horde’s impact on the Bai Xue Jiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Yixian froze, hesitating before answering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m sorry, but we haven’t kept precise statistics. The estimated death toll… three or four thousand, perhaps?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Author's Note\u003C\u002Fp>",1040,"2026-06-03T02:47:19.037Z","2026-06-03T02:47:23.880Z",1,"novelbin.me","02d33fd1f01e21337a4dc10acfc1e7d36a0670626ac86c10c0f5feb4ea54bb95","ice-age-apocalypse-i-hoard-billions-of-supplies-chapter-476","ice-age-apocalypse-i-hoard-billions-of-supplies-chapter-474",1370,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fice-age-apocalypse-i-hoard-billions-of-supplies-cover.jpg"]
