Ice Age Apocalypse: I've Stockpiled Billions of Resources

Cao Shengnan said shyly, "Lin Luo, could I ask you for a favor? Could you lend me your rescue air cushion?"

"Okay, but you have to agree to my conditions."

Lin Luo stated bluntly, "Your Cao family must listen to what our Ye family does."

"Ah! I can't decide that."

Cao Shengnan said.

Lin Luo said, "If you can't decide, let your uncle make the decision. Tell your uncle about it."

"Ok."

Cao Shengnan told Cao Mao about it.

After a moment's hesitation, Cao Mao agreed to Lin Luo's request.

He couldn't possibly have gained something without any obligation, could he?

Cao Mao can follow Lin Luo's arrangements, but he has conditions.

Lin Luo couldn't give him any advice that might lead him to risk committing suicide.

His request was reasonable, and Lin Luo chose to agree.

One by one, the Cao family members jumped down and landed safely on the rescue air cushion.

Ye Yue said from the side, "Cao Mao is a smart man. He knows how to choose. If he keeps following both teams and keeping his distance, the final result will likely be that he will not please either side and he may be the first to die."

"None of those sent here are stupid."

Lin Luodao.

Shi Cheng was very anxious as he watched the Ye family and the Cao family form an alliance.

If the two families join forces, the Shi family will be in the most danger.

Shicheng wanted to unite with the Cao family, but there was no rescue cushion.

It's good that everyone brought diving suits; does anyone have a place with a rescue airbag?

Shi Cheng racked his brains but still couldn't figure out how Lin Luo managed to bring a rescue air cushion.

"Boss, how about we cooperate with the Ye family? This Lin Luo is too strong. We have a good relationship with the Liu family, but it's not to the point of being willing to risk our lives together."

Zhu Ju was somewhat afraid of Lin Luo.

He was also a mutant, but he couldn't face the rapids of the waterfall as easily as Lin Luo.

Zhu Ju recognized Lin Luo's strength and did not want to continue the conflict.

Shi Cheng said with a dark face, "Are you saying I should bow down to this person and beg Lin Luo to protect me? Do you mean I have no dignity at all?"

"It's just a collaboration; there's no need to apologize to him."

Zhu Ju quickly offered an explanation.

Shi Cheng said, "Lin Luo is very special, but that doesn't mean our Shi family has no chance of winning. Lin Luo doesn't like taking risks, so let him take the lead and we'll just follow behind."

Zhu Ju shook his head helplessly, knowing Shi Cheng's plan.

But the other party was no pushover either; it wasn't the Shi family watching from the sidelines.

"Don't worry, I have a satellite phone. If the Ye family tries anything against me, I will call the police immediately."

Shi Cheng said confidently, "My nephew is the adjutant for this operation. If he tries to harm me, my nephew will not stand idly by."

Zhu Ju had a bad feeling and nodded: "Sir, you're right."

The Cao family reached the river below safely, and Cao Mao immediately expressed his gratitude.

Lin Luo said bluntly, "I didn't save you for nothing. You can't be a fence-sitter from now on."

Cao Mao said, "Okay, but you have to agree to my conditions."

"Don't worry, I'm not that despicable."

Lin Luodao.

Shi Cheng walked over and said coldly, "Cao Mao, I've noticed that you haven't assessed the situation properly. Following Lin Luo won't end well for you. I think you should consider the bigger picture instead of sacrificing the greater good for short-term gains."

Cao Mao angrily said, "Your Shi family is so domineering. Do you think following you is for the sake of the greater good? I am an unqualified commander. All I know is how many people I brought out and how many I need to bring back."

"You will regret this."

Shi Cheng's face turned bright red from the rebuke.

After a short rest, the three teams continued their journey.

Ye Yue said angrily, "No wonder the Shi family is so close to the Liu family. They are birds of a feather. They said something to belittle us just now, but then they hid behind us as we walked forward."

Lin Luo comforted him, "Don't worry, the Shi family thinks they're clever. Some dangers can't be avoided just by hiding behind someone."

Cao Mao stopped and pointed to the sky, saying, "Look up in front of us, there are purple spheres."

Rows of purple spheres were arranged, densely filling the entire sky.

"Take a drone and take a look. These purple spheres may be alive, as if they are nurturing something."

Lin Luo squinted and saw the purple sphere wriggling.

He wanted the drone to come next to the purple sphere and take a closer look.

The drone flew over and witnessed a shockingly disgusting scene.

The purple sphere seemed to be breathing, like a giant placenta, with blood vessels clearly visible on its surface.

The fleshy mass would bulge in and out from time to time, as if it were breathing.

Cao Shengnan's face turned ashen as she said, "The purple sphere may be harboring a terrifying creature. Once we emerge from it, we may encounter something horrific."

Cao Mao stroked his chin, recalling unpleasant things:

“My Cao family has experienced the same thing once, and I will never forget any of it in my life. Once, we were exploring an island and found a ball of flesh on it.”

"A group of us started studying the flesh ball, shooting at it with rifles. The flesh ball was riddled with bullet holes, but the life inside did not die."

"So we used a rocket launcher to blow up the meatball. It was this decision that we regretted. The meatball exploded, and countless tiny insects crawled out of it."

“Swarms of tiny insects crawled out of it, and many people were swallowed up as a result. I was the one leading the team that time, and two people died after we finished exploring the island.”

"Among the many island explorations, the number of deaths and injuries was very small, and I was quite proud of myself. Later, I was reckless and tried to open the flesh ball, which resulted in only three out of fifty people surviving, one of whom was me."

Cao Shengnan comforted him, "Uncle, that incident wasn't your fault. There are plenty of resources on the island, and it takes time to transport them. Before transporting them, we definitely need to eliminate all dangers. If you don't open the strange fleshy ball, it might split open on its own, and the losses will be even more severe."

Cao Mao sighed, "No matter how I explain it, I misjudged the situation."

Lin Luo said, "Don't keep thinking about the past. Now we need to deal with the things in front of us."

"Captain Lin is right."

Cao Mao nodded.

"Are you guys leaving or not? If you're not leaving, I'm hungry and it's time to eat."

Shi Cheng made sarcastic remarks from the side.

Cao Mao angrily said, "You are also part of our team. If the purple fleshy ball changes in the air, you won't have an easy time either."

Shi Cheng calmly said, "You two think of a solution. If you really can't come up with one, I'll think of one."

He added sarcastically, "Our Shi family can't compare to your two underground cities. Just now, none of your two families died, but we lost several people. Since we are weaker, we have to keep a low profile."

Cao Mao was so angry that his face turned red, and he couldn't utter a word for a long time.
