In the end of the ice age, I hoarded tens of billions of supplies

Chapter 2564 The New World Order 2

Jin looked at him, then suddenly stroked his beard and burst into laughter.

"As expected of the friend I, Old Jin the Crab, have chosen, you're truly loyal! I'm willing to be your partner for life!"

Zhang Yi shrugged and said seriously, "If I say it's true, then it's true! Because we're friends, I wouldn't lie to my friends."

"However, our Huaxu Kingdom is also quite busy right now, and we don't have the resources to open a new front. So for now, you guard your deep blue sea, and I'll guard my land."

"With you here, I feel at ease. At least no one will dare to sneak up on me from the seabed."

Upon hearing this, Jin chuckled softly, like ocean currents brushing against the rock face.

"Then I'll speak the truth as well."

He said, "If they push me too far one day, I might send some people over there."

“Not a refugee,” he emphasized. “He is a seed of my fish-man race.”

"The inherited bloodline of the Deep Blue Kingdom, the research center, and our most mature space adaptation unit. I don't expect you to support them, I only expect you to keep them from being thrown into the pot and boiled."

Zhang Yi nodded: "Of course, I'll say the same thing to you. Let's both leave each other a way out."

Jin was silent for a moment, seemingly relieved, then his smile faded, and his tone became solemn and calm again.

"One last thing, Chaos, I must remind you!"

"The frozen zone is beginning to thaw!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yi's gaze suddenly turned strange.

Five years ago, the Ice Age began, freezing the entire globe.

Five years later, the world changed dramatically, all races emerged, and even the Ice Age was about to end.

Zhang Yi narrowed his eyes: "You've noticed some signs?"

“Hmm,” Jin said slowly, “The direction of the deep-sea thermal currents has changed. The polar current belt is starting to loosen. The energy density of those frozen faults beneath the ice sheet is decreasing. We have detected a large amount of high-pressure freshwater flowing back.”

"I am the king of the sea, and I am the first to sense the change in water temperature. This is not a small fluctuation. This is a large-scale warming."

Zhang Yi's heart moved.

“You on the surface will soon see,” Jin concluded. “The Ice Age may be coming to an end, Chaos.”

Communications cut off.

The deep-sea image went dark, and the channel was reset to zero.

Zhang Yi stood there, silent for a long time.

The sea breeze still carried a chill, but that chill felt like an existing chill rather than an increasing one.

He suddenly realized that the biting, knife-like coldness in the air was indeed fading.

The curve of temperature difference sensing on the outer layer of his armor also gave the same conclusion: the suppression of the extreme cold zone was loosening.

The frozen sea is slowly thawing.

The Ice Age may really be coming to an end.

This is of great significance.

Because if the ice melts, the first change won't be the increased warmth and comfort, but rather—

The geopolitical landscape will change.

Waterways that were originally blocked by thousands of meters of ice were opened, and land bridges that were separated by extreme cold were reconnected.

Those sinkholes blocked by ice will be transformed into transportation channels, and those energy veins and relics buried under the ice sheet will be exposed.

In other words, not just humans, but all ancient races will be busy.

Zhang Yi speculates that the end of the Ice Age was related to the emergence of prehistoric civilizations.

After all, many ancient races were not adapted to the Ice Age.

After the Creator wiped out 90% of the six generations of people, the mission of the Ice Age was accomplished.

The six regions of Huaxu Kingdom were not originally "a single, contiguous fertile land".

Their controlled areas are separated by ice fields, fault lines, remnants of active volcanoes, and wastelands.

Especially after Earth unfolded, the territories of some ancient civilizations were forcibly inserted into areas that were originally adjacent to each other.

If the ice sheet recedes, those forces that have been inserted into the conflict may very well take a step forward.

They even went so far as to divide the six major regions into six isolated islands, cutting off all connections between them.

"We can't let this happen."

Zhang Yi thought to himself.

After bidding farewell to everyone, Zhang Yi declined the celebratory banquet offered by Morgan and the others. Although everyone's faces were filled with joy, it was clear that they all had very important things to do when they got back.

With the new spheres of influence being divided, they need to vacate their territories as soon as possible and relocate their industrial equipment and population.

The issue of receiving and resettling small and medium-sized countries that have been annexed also requires time to be documented.

Zhang Yi told them to go back to their respective countries, saying, "We'll be even busier from now on. Once you're back in your respective capitals, we'll have a conference call to discuss other matters in detail."

The group nodded in understanding and then left.

Zhang Yi also opened the dimensional gate and returned to Tianhai City without stopping.

On his way back, he could feel burning gazes upon him.

Some were fierce, some were sharp, some were greedy...

In short, the days ahead are unlikely to be easy.

……

Upon returning to Tianhai City, Zhang Yi's first action was neither to rest nor to celebrate his victory.

Instead, they held a meeting!

As the highest-ranking military force and leader of the Huaxu Kingdom, he needs to immediately integrate the six major regions.

In the living room of Zhang Yi's villa, Yang Xinxin and others appeared from another dimension. Zhang Yi didn't hide anything from them and directly started a meeting in the chat group of the high-level officials of Huaxu Kingdom.

Meanwhile, the top leaders of the six regions were also anxiously awaiting the outcome of this negotiation conference, and thus responded quickly.

The projections of the core high-level executives of the six major regions appeared one by one.

Guan Longyue, Meng Yuanjun, and Shang Daowen from the Shengjing region;

Ji Changhai and Han Shanzuo from the Northeast Region;

Chen Xuanba and Jiang Guanghan of the National Protection Army;

Xiao Lie from the Northwest Region;

Jueguo and Luozhuo from the Southwest Region; Zhu Zheng and Zhu Yu from the Jiangnan Region;

Li Guangxiao, Xuanwu, Zhuque from the East Sea region, and Li Changgong, who is temporarily residing here.

The highest combat power and the highest commander were all present within one minute.

Lu Keran, Yang Xinxin, Xu Pangzi, Liang Yue, Deng Shentong, and others from Tianhai City also joined the meeting.

Every face was tense as everyone stared at Zhang Yi, waiting for him to announce the outcome of the negotiation meeting.

Zhang Yi stood at the head of the conference table and raised his hand to display a new geographical projection map in mid-air.

That image is not the old version of Earth's projection, but a composite image of Earth unfolded.

"Ladies and gentlemen," he began, his voice a notch lower than usual, but his reasoning as clear as ever, "the results of the negotiations are in! I can tell you all very clearly that the territory of Huaxu Kingdom can be preserved."

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and a chorus of gasps filled the conference room.

Upon hearing this voice, everyone couldn't help but chuckle softly.

"It's too early to be happy. The war is only temporarily over, but there's no guarantee that we'll be safe in the future."

"We need to make this clear upfront, so we don't wait until trouble arises to fix it."

Zhang Yi tapped the table, his sharp gaze serving as a warning to everyone.
