Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies

Following this lead, Xu Chunlei easily uncovered Zhang Yi’s identity. "Zhang Yi, Walmart warehouse supervisor..." The name sparked a glint in Xu Chunlei\'s eyes, and his excitement grew. "The Walmart warehouse theft! Over a billion worth of goods were emptied overnight!" He had once thought it was a case of the thief crying "thief," but now it seemed this Zhang Yi was highly suspicious.

Xu Chunlei, an anime and manga enthusiast with a wild imagination, got up and paced the room, his chubby body wobbling with each step. After a few steps, he got tired and plopped back into his chair. "Could he really have emptied the entire Walmart warehouse?" he pondered. "With abilities like these, anything previously impossible becomes plausible. But to pull off such a feat, he\'d need spatial abilities, like a vacuum cleaner capable of holding vast amounts of items."

He remembered the fight where his attacks suddenly vanished in front of Zhang Yi but were later returned. "It’s not just about deflecting attacks; it’s like storing them somewhere and releasing them later," Xu Chunlei thought, his eyes shining brighter. "I get it! He must have spatial abilities, and all the stolen goods from the Walmart warehouse are probably in his hands! That would also explain how he owns a luxurious snowmobile, which is rare in the south."

Xu Chunlei\'s face quivered with excitement. But then, reality set in, and he slumped back into his chair, feeling disappointed. "Compared to his abilities, my \'Snow Blast\' is not on the same level. Could it be that he is the protagonist, and I’m... the villain?" This thought sent chills down his spine as he recalled countless games he had played.

"In games, there are always mini-bosses—tougher than regular enemies but ultimately there to give players experience points." Realizing his inferiority, Xu Chunlei grew fearful. "I must never cross him again. I should try to befriend him instead. And I need to warn the whole village not to provoke him!"

Worried about the village\'s daredevils, Xu Chunlei left his house immediately to find Xu Dongsheng, the village head and patriarch of the Xu family. Xu Dongsheng greeted him warmly, surprised to see him out. "Chunlei, it\'s rare to see you outside! If it weren’t for your mother making you go for a walk, you’d never leave the house."

Gasping for breath, Xu Chunlei said, "Grandpa, something big has happened, and I need to tell you."

Xu Dongsheng stroked his beard and smiled, "Oh, what\'s the big news?" Usually, he wouldn\'t take Xu Chunlei\'s words seriously, but given Chunlei\'s abilities, Xu Dongsheng decided to listen.

Xu Chunlei urgently shared his findings with Xu Dongsheng. "Grandpa, Zhang Yi is very powerful. His abilities counter mine completely. We must avoid any conflict with him!"

"Xu Dong Village is just across the river from Cloud Manor. You should inform the villagers to stay away from that place, even when fishing!" he advised.

Xu Dongsheng, however, was fixated on another detail. "So, you’re saying that the Walmart warehouse theft was his doing? And the stolen goods worth billions are with him?"

Xu Chunlei, in his earnestness, nodded, "Based on my analysis, that\'s the most likely scenario! Only a spatial ability user could empty a giant warehouse in such a short time!"

Confirming this, Xu Dongsheng\'s eyes sparkled with a sly glint. He stroked his beard and mused, "If we could get those supplies for Xu Dong Village, they would last us years!"

Realizing where the conversation was heading, Xu Chunlei grew alarmed. "Grandpa, you mustn\'t get any ideas about him!"

Xu Dongsheng dismissed his caution. "Chunlei, you’re too timid! Our village has hundreds of residents and thousands more in Xu Family Town! Do you think one person can stand against so many?"

Xu Chunlei hesitated, unable to argue. "But I can feel that he is very dangerous!"

Scoffing, Xu Dongsheng replied, "He has broken your courage! In my youth, the nearby villages fought fiercely, often dragging back the dead. We fought over water, land, and even minor disputes!"

Recalling those times fondly, he continued, "For the survival of Xu Dong Village, we would give our lives!"
