Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food

Chapter 1004: Chapter 397: Preparing for Something Big

Liang Yuan maintained a calm expression, and did not pay attention to these manipulative words.

He simply asked Tao Wei: "Tell me the news you know."

"Yes, Mr. Liang."

Tao Wei organized his thoughts before saying: "Lingjiang River entered Mist City a month ago. At that time, when the President No. 7 just came in, it caused quite a stir."

"Many captains thought they encountered a big fat sheep, but unexpectedly they met a big gray wolf."

"At that time, the Yongchang, Remote, and Wujiang ships united to attack this President No. 7."

"Lingjiang River single-handedly fought against three captains, and even ordered not to take any prisoners, killing everyone on the three ships."

"The blood stained the water surface, and two of the three ships were sunk, with one stranded near Crescent Beach."

"It was also that battle that established Lingjiang River’s terrifying reputation, making other captains hide when they see him."

"Fortunately, Lingjiang River seems mentally unstable, always searching for a ship full of women."

"Queen." Du Ol’Dog reminded from the side.

Tao Wei quickly nodded: "Yes, yes, the Queen. Lingjiang River has been searching for the Queen for the past month. When he doesn’t find the Queen, he takes the opportunity to plunder other ships he encounters."

"The Yongqiang was seized by him during this process."

"Because this guy does things with no way out, he has angered all the captains."

"Currently, the captains of thirty-two ships from Crescent Beach and Eighteen Bays have secretly formed an alliance to plan to eliminate Lingjiang River."

"I’ve always been under cover here. Really, I’m not with Lingjiang River."

"I can introduce these captains to Mr. Liang. You are different from Lingjiang River. You appear to be a visionary leader."

"All the captains would surely welcome you."

Listening to Tao Wei’s eloquent talk, Liang Yuan could already see Tao Wei’s ulterior motives by this point.

The other party wanted to use this information to exchange for a chance to live.

However, Liang Yuan was not concerned with this fellow’s ulterior motives. Instead, he paid attention to the so-called captains’ alliance!

He was planning to find an opportunity to unite all outside individuals drifting here.

Isn’t this a ready-made opportunity?

As long as these captains join forces to give him trouble, isn’t it the perfect chance for him to target these captains?

Liang Yuan asked indifferently: "Oh? Are these captains confident? Can they kill Lingjiang River?"

Tao Wei quickly said: "Yes, the thirty-two captains are all formidable superpower users. Not only that, they even invited external reinforcements to deal with Lingjiang River’s Golden Body."

Liang Yuan looked at Tao Wei, his eyes bright: "External reinforcement?"

"Yes, mercenaries from Mist City."

Liang Yuan was a bit disappointed and said: "Mercenaries, aren’t they just a group of people who haven’t settled in the City of Ice Mist?"

Tao Wei quickly said: "Mr. Liang, don’t underestimate these mercenaries. Although they are like us, not yet qualified to live in the City of Ice Mist."

"But this group can stand their ground in Mist Forest, they are not weaklings."

"The competition in Mist Forest is intense, and they face various mutant beasts there at any time, their strength is not inferior to ours."

Liang Yuan silently glanced at Tao Wei.

He wanted to ask, ’Are your combat powers really strong?’.

"Is there a possibility they will invite masters from the City of Ice Mist?" Liang Yuan directly asked.

Tao Wei immediately made an ’uh’ sound, rather helplessly said: "How could people from the City of Ice Mist participate in battles like ours."

"In the City of Ice Mist, they have food, drinks, and secure dwellings, why would they risk their lives?"

"Moreover, besides some lucky early survivors who squeezed into the City of Ice Mist, later it all depended on accumulating resources little by little to live in there."

"In terms of strength, the masters inside are much stronger than us outsiders."

Liang Yuan agreed with this view, clearly the City of Ice Mist established residency conditions as a filter.

The higher the residency conditions, the stronger the individuals who can meet these conditions.

The overall strength of the City of Ice Mist naturally becomes stronger.

Liang Yuan estimated there must be further screening mechanisms inside the City of Ice Mist, otherwise, how could there be powerful teams of Ice Armor Warriors?

With such layers of selection, the overall combat power of the City of Ice Mist is definitely strong.

It seems that the Master of Fog City is indeed quite capable of managing.

Tao Wei had just finished speaking, when Qiu Yingyue sneered from the side: "Are your strengths really strong?"

Tao Wei’s smile instantly froze, quickly flattering: "Compared to you all, we are just trash."

"Hmph!" Qiu Yingyue snorted coldly and didn’t bother talking nonsense with him.

Liang Yuan didn’t say much either, directly instructed Han Xiangman: "Give them the medicine."

"From today onwards, you’ll temporarily be under my command and work for me."

"Take the poison, and every three days you’ll get an antidote. If you don’t want to die, just obey."

"Those who perform well will receive the antidote accordingly."

Meanwhile, Liang Yuan pointed at a few pirates who performed well earlier, casually found a bottle of health supplement pills from the item bar, and distributed them to these people.

He indicated it was a temporary antidote, effective for half a month.

The few immediately rejoiced in their hearts, among them was the person who bravely jumped into the river and cut off the head of the superpower user ’Bomb’.

With such operations, this group of captives were compelled to join Liang Yuan and others’ team.

Liang Yuan’s temporary team expanded again to nearly three or four hundred people.

"Mr. Liang, what should we do next?"

Qiu Yingyue handed over these matters to others to arrange, then she approached Liang Yuan, asking about what to do next.

Liang Yuan looked at her and said: "Do you want to find your father?"

Qiu Yingyue nodded, she had been waiting for so many days, Leng Yuehua had returned, and they had gathered enough information about Mist City.

She couldn’t hold back anymore, wanting to find her father, Qiu Gongrong immediately.

Liang Yuan didn’t stop her, nodding and saying, "You already know the information you should know, and I have no reason to stop you."

"We’ve met by chance, which counts as fate. See how many people you need, and take them along to prepare for any eventuality."

Although the two had a cooperative relationship, Liang Yuan had once saved Qiu Yingyue from the hands of the Spiritual Ability Sect, making their relationship more than just a partnership.

There was a layer of life-saving gratitude between the two.

Qiu Yingyue felt a bit embarrassed and said, "I’m going to find my dad, not to kill or commit arson. Bringing so many people along is meaningless."

"I won’t bring many people. I’ll just take Lin Wu and Qin Zihang. As for the others, including the people from Lishui Garden, I’ll leave them with you."

"Though I don’t know what you plan to do, you’re a smart person, and I trust them with you."

Liang Yuan glanced at Qiu Yingyue; her heartfelt words at this moment caught him off guard.

He felt a bit uneasy about having her explore first.

After thinking it over, Liang Yuan took out three ’Earth Escape’ talisman stones from his item bar and handed them to her.

"These are Earth Escape talisman stones. Use them to escape if you encounter danger."

"Remember, keeping your life is your only hope."

Qiu Yingyue accepted the talisman stones, her eyes filled with a touch of emotion. She opened her mouth as if to say something but ultimately said nothing.

Taking a deep breath, she forced a smile and said, "Then I’m off."

Liang Yuan nodded and watched her leave the President No. 7.

Han Xiangman emerged from somewhere and asked, "She left?"

"Yes."

"So what do we do next?"

"Nothing, just wait."

"Wait? Wait for what?" Han Xiangman asked curiously.

Liang Yuan smiled: "The captains of thirty-two ships have joined forces against the Lingjiang River."

"Now that Lingjiang River is dead, their plan is likely to continue, given how much larger the President No. 7 is compared to ordinary cargo ships, both in terms of supplies and living conditions."

"Do you think they might be tempted?"

Han Xiangman immediately understood, "You plan to catch them all at once?"

Liang Yuan nodded with a smile, "Going after them one by one is technically possible, but it’s too time-consuming."

"You saw the situation at Guangfu, right? Especially those from the Spiritual Ability Sect, who somehow have the ability to detect spiritual power strength everywhere."

"With the superpower ore vein reserves of Yangshan, the spiritual power strength is sure to be high, and it won’t be long before it’s discovered by the Three Great Sects."

"We must hurry to complete our tasks here, obtain the method for gene species awakening, and return immediately."

Upon hearing this, Han Xiangman showed a serious expression.

For both Liang Yuan and herself, Yangshan is their home, their shelter.

So they always keep the safety of the Yangshan Shelter in their minds.

"Should we make some preparations then?"

"Of course. The President No. 7 yacht requires extensive maintenance."

"Get Lin Ya ready. I need to perform a [Solid] enchantment on the yacht’s exterior to enhance its resistance to damage."

"Additionally, I need to set up a rune array on the ship."

Han Xiangman, hearing this, beamed with excitement, "You’ve already mastered the method of arranging rune arrays?"

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Yes, the essence of a rune array is the combination form of runes."

"However, the spiritual power of ordinary superpower users isn’t enough to support a large-scale rune array setup."

"The biggest challenge in setting up such an array is the spiritual power of the person setting it up."

"I suspect that the Scale Armor Array on that Golden Armor Warship wasn’t set up by just one person. It was likely arranged by a group of specialists."

"Once we’ve dealt with the matters here, we can organize a group of people with adequate spiritual power for specialized training when we go back."

"In the future, talisman arrays will undoubtedly be a major trend in rune technology, and we can’t fall behind."

Han Xiangman gazed at the eloquent Liang Yuan, her eyes filled with admiration.

They say serious people have a special charm.

Moreover, this person possesses such great strength and ability.

Even Han Xiangman couldn’t help but feel a strong sense of admiration and reverence for him.

Sometimes, late at night, she would occasionally fantasize about the person in front of her...

Liang Yuan spoke for a while and then noticed Han Xiangman’s wandering thoughts, not listening.

Curiously, he turned his head and waved at her, "What’s on your mind?"

Han Xiangman snapped back to reality, a slight blush of embarrassment flashing across her fair face.

"Nothing, I was just thinking about what I can do," she hurriedly explained.

Hearing this, Liang Yuan couldn’t help but laugh, "You have plenty to do. These people have just been subdued by us, and you need to manage them well."

"Now that Qiu Yingyue is gone, you also need to take charge of the people she left behind."

"You’ve got quite a heavy responsibility."

Hearing this, Han Xiangman also laughed, "Don’t worry, leave these things to me."

"It’s just that with the things you need to do, I probably won’t be of much help."

Han Xiangman smiled wryly. Being a Water Attribute Superpower User, although her abilities also rely on spiritual power, her spiritual power is not weak either.

But compared to a pure Spirit Attribute Superpower User, there’s still quite a gap.

Especially when it comes to learning rune technology; if it’s water attribute runes, she might be able to pick them up quickly and learn.

But if it’s runes of other types, it’s almost impossible for her to learn them effectively.

This requires a pure Spirit Ability User or a superpower user with the corresponding attribute to learn.
