Chapter 930: Resting for a While

Zhang Yi and Liang Yue boarded the subway, leaving Blizzard City to return to Tianhai City.

As for the other people on the ship, they remained in Blizzard City.

They were all involved in this secret mission, so they needed to undergo questioning by Blizzard City authorities.

Zhang Yi had already leaked the secret of the Divine Source to the East Sea Region, so other matters were no longer important to him.

Blizzard City was just following standard procedure, and he had no objections.

But this time during the return trip, he was unusually silent.

He sat with his arms crossed the entire time, quietly sitting on the seat, his eyes devoid of any light, as if lost in deep thought.

Seeing this, Liang Yue slightly furrowed her brows.

She concernedly sat down next to Zhang Yi, lightly coughed once, and asked: "Did something troublesome happen?"

Zhang Yi raised his head and glanced at her, his expression indifferent without any fluctuation.

"It's not really that..."

He let out a long sigh, wanting to say something, but didn't know what would be best to say.

For a long time, he had considered himself a laid-back person who never liked competing with others for anything.

As long as he could live a happy and stable life, that was enough.

But this sea voyage had created significant turbulence deep within his heart.

Those without sufficient strength cannot establish themselves in this cruel world.

The words sound nice.

The East Sea Region is an ally, and Zhu Zheng had previously promised Li Guangxiao that even if they shared the Divine Source intelligence with them, it wouldn't matter.

But that feeling still left Zhang Yi somewhat uncomfortable.

Especially after experiencing the incident where Li Tianyang forced him to drink the truth serum, it made him feel humiliated in his heart.

And all of this was simply because he wasn't strong enough.

That's all there was to it.

"Perhaps I really need to change my way of living," Zhang Yi murmured to himself.

Liang Yue blinked her eyes and curiously pressed further: "What kind of lifestyle do you want to change to?"

Zhang Yi smiled and shook his head: "I don't know either. Maybe I'll gradually understand!"

Since they were still on the train, Zhang Yi wouldn't casually reveal his inner thoughts.

Because this train definitely had monitoring equipment installed, keeping quietly silent was the best choice.

Zhang Yi closed his eyes and stopped speaking.

Liang Yue had no choice but to do the same.

Before long, the two returned to Tianhai City and arrived at the long-unseen Xiaomiaoshan Subway Station.

The two walked out of the subway.

Zhang Yi felt the discomfort of his superhuman abilities being suppressed within his body.

But fortunately, his Dimensional Space could still be summoned.

Zhang Yi took out a snow vehicle and returned to the shelter with Liang Yue.

After Zhang Yi returned home, everyone was waiting for his return with slight concern.

Only when they saw he was safe and sound did everyone finally breathe a long sigh of relief.

"Brother Zhang Yi, how did you suddenly lose contact?"

Yang Xinxin walked over, asking with a worried expression: "Did something unexpected happen outside?"

Zhang Yi sighed.

"It's too complicated to explain!"

He returned to the room, changed out of his combat suit, put on casual clothes, then sat cross-legged barefoot on the sofa. While drinking the hot coffee Yang Siya poured for him, he told them about his recent experiences.

When they learned that Zhang Yi had successively battled the Tianlong Pirate Crew, encountered the Columbus Ocean Navy's Epsilon-level superhuman, and was finally taken away by the East Sea Region for interrogation,

Everyone felt both retrospective fear and anger!

"This is simply too much! Zhang Yi, you're a hero who brought back extremely important intelligence. How could they treat you like this!"

Even veteran Old You felt ashamed of the East Sea Region's actions.

"They actually imprisoned you and forced you to take truth serum. This is absolutely a major crime that should be brought before a military tribunal!"

Hearing this, Zhang Yi smiled dismissively.

"The times have long changed. The six major regions each have extremely large jurisdictions. For something like the Divine Source, it's worth them doing this."

Now that the mission was over, Zhang Yi no longer hid the existence of the Divine Source from everyone, discussing it very casually.

Fatty Xu held his large face and let out a long sigh.

"This is really frustrating! The most crucial thing is, now that the East Sea Region has obtained the Divine Source intelligence, they must have already taken the lead!"

These words indeed made everyone feel indignant.

Zhang Yi worked hard for five months at sea to finally bring back the Divine Source intelligence.

Yet the East Sea Region ended up reaping the benefits.

But Zhang Yi just smiled faintly: "You can't really say that. If the East Sea Region hadn't pinned down the main forces of the Columbus Ocean Navy on the front lines, I probably wouldn't have been able to bring everyone back from the sea."

"And," he interlocked his fingers, his gaze becoming profound, "I gave them misleading information, enough to delay them for some time."

"Trying to cross the Columbus Ocean Navy's blockade and find the Divine Source right under their noses—how could that be simple!"

Old You swallowed hard, seeming to want to say something but hesitating.

However, after looking at the others in the room, he lowered his head and suppressed his thoughts.

Actually, it wasn't just him—many people in the room had similar thoughts.

Zhang Yi's current superhuman ability index was around 9,800 points.

It was absolutely certain that he would eventually reach Epsilon-level combat power.

But what about the others?

The gap between them and Zhang Yi would only grow wider.

But if they could obtain the Divine Source, perhaps they all would have a chance to make breakthroughs.

Even Hua Hua jumped onto Zhang Yi's lap, looking up at him with eager eyes full of longing.

Zhang Yi smiled and reached out to stroke its head.

"This matter won't end so easily. The East Sea Region wanting to obtain the Divine Source definitely won't be that simple either!"

Something unusual stirred within his eyes.

...

Several days later, Old Tian and Li Zongyu's group were sent back.

Zhang Yi had already given the most critical intelligence to Zhu Zheng. The others were just undergoing routine investigations, and actually couldn't provide much more useful information.

Zhu Zheng kept his promise and sent the people back to increase Tianhai City's population.

Naturally, Yang Xinxin took responsibility for arranging everything, which was handled without any issues.

Zhou Ke'er was responsible for receiving the people.

When meeting Old Tian, Zhou Ke'er asked, "Do you know how Zhu Yunque is doing now?"

Hearing this, Old Tian showed a strange expression on his face.

He scratched his messy hair, "When we were in the East Sea Region before, we lived not far from her. According to medical staff, it seems there's something wrong with her mind."

Old Tian pointed to his temple: "Here, because she was hit by high-voltage electricity, she's now acting completely crazy."

Zhou Ke'er sighed softly in her heart.

If Zhu Yunque hadn't been so troublesome and had left a better impression on Zhang Yi, none of this would have happened today.

Because in that case, Zhang Yi would definitely have gone back to rescue her immediately after sending Zhou Ke'er back.

But at this point, who could they blame?

They could only blame her for not being sensible enough.
