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

What Deng Yuanbo said seemed to be a lobbyist for Zhu Zheng.

But Zhang Yi couldn't tell what he was thinking, so he said, "I'm used to being free and easy, and I don't like people to control me. As the captain, will I have to do whatever the higher-ups ask me to do in the future?"

Deng Yuanbo smiled, "But even if you are in Tianhai City, can you not listen to Blizzard City's orders?"

Zhang Yi said with a meaningful smile: "At least there is room for flexibility."

It's obvious that you can't refuse, but isn't it okay to just ignore it secretly?

It is impossible for Blizzard City to adopt high-pressure management of all Jiangnan Thirteen Taibao, at least it will not force them to do things.

Otherwise, the whole area would collapse.

Deng Yuanbo raised his eyebrows, "How come young people today are just like you! They don't want fame or profit, as long as they lie down. They don't even want to give you the chance to be a leader."

He sighed: "Hey, the times have really changed!"

Zhang Yi smiled.

"Indeed, it's different from your time. So please understand my choice!"

Deng Yuanbo shook his head.

"I don't care about this. Let's put it this way, let you be the temporary captain, so you can accept it?"

"Temporary captain?"

Zhang Yi read these four words once, with a leisurely expression, and did not continue to say anything.

Isn't that the person who temporarily leads the team and bears the responsibility?

What are the benefits after the task is over?

Deng Yuanbo came over, smiled at him and said, "Letting you be the captain is the result of discussions among many people."

"Everyone appreciates your undisciplined personality that doesn't care about fame and fortune."

"Don't worry, as long as you do this matter, you won't let it go for nothing. I will make a condition that you can't refuse!"

Zhang Yi's eyes lit up.

"Oh?"

Deng Yuanbo said leisurely: "You strangers from the outer city don't have any concept of supernatural powers. To be able to move forward step by step, apart from relying on talent, you can only grope slowly like a blind man groping for an elephant."

"This will make you take a lot of detours, and even waste your talent in vain."

"As for our Deng Group, we have been researching supernatural powers for more than 50 years!"

Zhang Yi's eyes flashed: "Half a century of history? Could it be that mutants have long existed?"

Deng Yuanbo said: "Variation itself is something that must exist in the process of biological evolution."

"Judging from the huge population base of human beings, mutants have appeared in all ages. It's just that now, it is an era of large-scale mutations, so it will be widely known."

"Of course, the research on mutants in the past was for the development of drugs and military use. To be honest, this research has made our Deng Corporation a lot of money."

He smiled and looked at Zhang Yi, "We have a mature team that can help you and your companions improve their strength, develop their potential! And provide the best training."

"Now you are indeed very strong, but you still have a lot of room for improvement. Not to mention the partners around you."

"Now, it's hard for them to keep up with you, right?"

Zhang Yi had no way to refute these words.

The gap in talent made the gap in strength within their team more and more obvious.

However, Zhang Yi was still unwilling to trust Deng Yuanbo easily.

"I don't understand, why are you helping me?"

"To put it bluntly, if you want me to be the thug of the Deng family and obey your orders, then I can't do it."

Who knew that after listening to these words, Deng Yuanbo raised his neck and laughed loudly.

"Hahahahaha!!"

"Of course I don't have such an idea. Even Zhu Zheng can't attract you with the position of investigation captain. I don't think that the Deng family can offer higher conditions."

Zhang Yi didn't understand anymore.

"Then, what's the benefit of this matter to you, so that you want to help me like this?"

The smile on Deng Yuanbo's face gradually faded.

He didn't know what he thought of, but fell into silence, then slowly turned his back and looked at the falling snow in the courtyard.

Zhang Yi waited for his reply.

After a full minute, Zhang Yi's patience was almost exhausted, and Deng Yuanbo said in a deep voice:

"I'm helping you to avenge my nephew."

Zhang Yi immediately thought of Deng Shentong, that strange man who was handsome and confident although he didn't communicate much with him.

Deng Shentong's death was unexpected by Zhang Yi.

As the head of the Deng family, Deng Yuanbo could not accept this cruel fact.

"Revenge? You don't need to tell me this, I will kill all the people who eclipse the moon."

Zhang Yi said slowly.

Unexpectedly, Deng Yuanbo shook his head.

"The person who killed my nephew, the eclipse can only be regarded as a knife. And the real culprit must be in Blizzard City!"

Zhang Yi's heart trembled.

Although he had doubts about this matter, but from the mouth of Deng Yuanbo, a big boss, the possibility was even greater.

"People from Blizzard City killed Deng Shentong? This..."

Zhang Yi didn't know how to evaluate it. This matter itself had nothing to do with him, and he didn't want to get involved in the power struggle in Blizzard City.

Deng Yuanbo's eyes were full of gloom.

"My nephew has been gifted and intelligent since he was a child. After the end of the world, under the full cultivation of our Deng family, he has become one of the strongest aliens in the Jiangnan region!"

"His future has unlimited hope, and he can become the most brilliant figure of this era."

"However, it is inevitable that some people will feel jealous of him."

Deng Yuanbo turned his head and looked at Zhang Yi.

"Someone borrowed the knife from Eclipse and killed him!"

Zhang Yi frowned slightly: "If you know who did it, why didn't you go to Zhu Shuai? With the power of the Deng family, even if the other party is an expert at the level of the investigation captain, he can erase it, right?"

Deng Yuanbo said: "I still don't know who did it. But I can determine the scope."

"Whoever is most beneficial to the death of supernatural powers is the biggest suspect."

Deng Yuanbo didn't mention his name.

But in the words, Zhang Yi was deeply shocked.

Not looking for Zhu Zheng meant that he might not even trust Zhu Zheng.

After all, in order to consolidate his power, Zhu Zheng might also have eradicated the sharp-edged Deng Shentong.

Not to mention the other forces in Blizzard City.

Tu Yunlie, the Samsara Team, or other Blizzard City factions may be the masterminds of this operation.

Zhang Yi felt the complexity, so he said to Deng Yuanbo:

"I don't want to get involved in it. Even if the conditions you offer sound very tempting, if you get involved in the storm of power struggle, I'm afraid that I and the people around me will die without a place to die!"

If the mastermind behind it was really Zhu Zheng, what would he use to fight him?
