Apocalypse Hoarder: I Have Billions in Supplies

Jiang Si couldn’t help but sob. ’If only I had listened to everyone that day and hadn’t been so arrogant, absorbing all those energy stones.’

But in this world, there was no cure for regret.

Jiang Si stroked Qin Shen’s soft fur, calling his name again and again. Suddenly, the ship’s hull shuddered violently and ground to a halt.

Jiang Si shot to her feet, glanced at Qin Shen, then rushed out of the room. When she reached the control room, she discovered the entire Icebreaker had malfunctioned.

Even the generators had failed.

Jiang Si ran onto the deck. Dai Mao lifted her up, and with a single glance, she saw that the seabed behind the Icebreaker was already a blazing sea of red.

The volcanic lava was closing in.

They were about to lose the Icebreaker.

Jiang Si stared at the churning sea and listened to the rising panic in people’s voices. She glanced toward Qin Shen’s room. He was in his tiger form. The others could escape on the Vultures, but what about him? ’What am I going to do about Qin Shen?’

’The helicopter is in my storage space, but my space has vanished.’

For a moment, she was seized by a panic she had never felt before.

’Qin Shen can’t leave. What should I do?’

Jiang Si gritted her teeth. ’If Qin Shen can’t ride a Vulture, then he’ll take the speedboat with me!’

She had kept a speedboat in reserve on this ship.

’The only question is whether the speedboat’s engine has been affected by the magnetic interference from the volcano’s intense heat.’

As she hurried to check, Shen Baoying, who was holding An’an, suddenly pointed at the sea in shock. "Sisi! Sisi, quick, look!"

Jiang Si looked where Shen Baoying was pointing and was stunned by the sight.

Her father had grown the body of a giant octopus and was watching them from a distance.

Jiang Si cried out in joyous surprise, "Dad! Dad!"

At Jiang Si’s cry of "Dad!", the people who were preparing to open fire instantly froze.

’That monster... is Jiang Si’s father?’

Jiang Linhai quickly propelled himself toward them, his tentacles churning through the water.

Reunited as a family, Jiang Si’s eyes filled with tears.

’Thank goodness, Jiang Linhai isn’t dead.’

Jiang Si looked at his new body, a hint of guilt in her eyes. She was about to speak when Jiang Linhai said with even greater urgency, "Sisi, we need to get out of here, now!"

As if suddenly finding a pillar of support, Jiang Si said sorrowfully, "I need to get Qin Shen onto the speedboat. Dad, can you help push us?"

Jiang Linhai nodded. "He’s my son-in-law—of course I’ll get him out of here! Don’t you worry. Now, hurry and get the others moving!"

Jiang Si nodded. "Okay! Right away!"

Jiang Si turned and immediately ordered Dai Mao, "Summon more Vultures!"

Dai Mao let out a long, obedient cry, and soon, more zombie Vultures came swarming from all directions.

Zhang Aihua and the others received Jiang Si’s urgent notice. They gathered their essential supplies and quickly began evacuating on the Vultures.

Hearing that they would be escaping on Vultures made everyone both nervous and a little excited.

But they quickly became too busy to think about it, pushing all such feelings aside.

One after another, people scrambled to gather essential survival gear from the Icebreaker.

Anything they couldn’t carry had to be abandoned.

They didn’t abandon the troop of monkeys or the moose, either; there were enough Vultures for everyone.

Big Black and Little Black boarded the speedboat with Jiang Si.

A wave of sadness washed over everyone as they looked back at the abandoned Icebreaker, which held the last of their food and supplies.

Jiang Si was also tormented. ’Why did my spatial power have to fail me now?’

Jiang Linhai maneuvered his body into the speedboat, his tentacles wrapping tightly around the hull from below. He propelled them forward, speeding across the sea to catch up with the Vultures.

Jiang Linhai was incredibly fast, but even he would get tired.

Just as Jiang Si sensed his energy faltering, she saw that the lava was nearly upon them.

At this critical moment, Jiang Si felt a powerful energy surge from her chest.

In an instant, she had regained control of her Space Power.

The moment she raised her hand—WHOOSH!—an area several hundred meters wide was enveloped by her spatial field.

Anything she didn’t want inside her space was instantly ejected.

Incredibly, this even included the undersea lava, which was now held back outside her field.

Jiang Si could hardly believe it. "Dad," she said to Jiang Linhai, "stop for a moment! Look behind you!"

Jiang Linhai turned and saw that a shimmering Barrier had formed over the sea.

The sharks that had been fleeing alongside them were now trapped outside the Barrier, ramming against it in a frenzy.

But soon, the extreme heat overcame them, and their bodies sank lifelessly into the depths.

Jiang Linhai stared in disbelief. "What... what is this? Did you do this?"

Jiang Si nodded. "It’s a Barrier! I’m controlling it!"
