Chapter 1159: Chapter 500: Female Merfolk
Is space transparent?
Before the apocalypse, Liang Yuan dared to say that no one could answer this question.
But now, Liang Yuan feels he can answer it.
Opaque!
Completely opaque.
Outside was daylight before stepping in.
Now, inside this folded space, it’s pitch black.
Obviously, light cannot penetrate space and illuminate the interior of this folded area.
Ni Qi whispered, "Mr. Liang, there’s no light here."
Liang Yuan hummed in acknowledgment and said, "Look around to see if there’s anyone."
"Alright."
Liang Yuan pulled out the speedboat, and the two sat and began to glide on the water.
His vision gradually adapted to the darkness here, Ni Qi could already vaguely make out some things.
Liang Yuan naturally didn’t have this trouble, even before breaking through to Genetic Species Level, his Evolution superpower had endowed him with Night Vision ability.
So even though it was pitch black here, it was practically no different from daytime for him.
Soon, Liang Yuan drove the speedboat to the front of a building.
This building didn’t look tall, likely a corner of a cultural center.
The water level had already surpassed the first floor of the cultural center, about seven to eight meters high.
The second and third floors were still intact.
Liang Yuan swiftly stopped the speedboat and said, "Let’s go inside and take a look."
Ni Qi nodded, and as she was getting off the boat, she exclaimed, "Mr. Liang, it’s not raining here."
"It must be an enclosed space preventing the rain from coming in."
"Then where does this water come from?"
Liang Yuan shook his head, "Either this folded space formed later, or there’s a gap in the folded space allowing water to seep in."
He analyzed the situation, feeling that the former was more likely.
Because during the early stages of the flood, superpowers hadn’t emerged yet.
Spatial folding, such a supernatural phenomenon, should not have appeared either.
"Mr. Liang, do you think there are still living people here?" Ni Qi couldn’t help but whisper.
Liang Yuan slightly shook his head, "I don’t know, but I guess there might be."
"If the spatial folding happened early, many people would be trapped here. At least the flood wouldn’t have risen to a desperate level for them."
"Besides, this cultural center area is considered a CBD in Technology City, with likely ample resources."
"However..."
Liang Yuan suddenly hesitated.
Ni Qi couldn’t help but ask, "However what?"
"The appearance of Genetic Species level mutant creatures indicates that superpower energy permeates this place."
"And due to spatial restrictions, the concentration of superpower energy might be much higher here than outside, resulting in Genetic Species level mutant beasts."
"Without evolving fast enough, humans might find it very hard to survive here."
Liang Yuan knows the combat power of Genetic Species Level; for these beasts to kill ordinary superpower users is very easy.
Ni Qi was taken aback, and couldn’t help but say, "Mutant beasts can evolve, so humanity here might also be able to evolve."
"Perhaps there are already humans who have evolved to Genetic Species level superpower users."
Liang Yuan slightly nodded and smiled, "It’s possible, let’s search around this building."
"Mm."
Ni Qi promptly nodded.
For safety, the two didn’t act separately but started checking around the building together.
Tennis court, basketball court, gym...
Most of this cultural center comprised these venues. Liang Yuan checked around and found obvious traces of human life.
Not only signs of cooking fires but bloodstains from fights as well.
Especially in the gym, many gym pieces of equipment were moved out.
Liang Yuan saw a dumbbell-welded hammer-like weapon, dropped beside a highly rotted corpse.
Liang Yuan couldn’t help but frown slightly, evidently resource disputes occurred here.
Sure enough, as they continued further, they arrived at a small supermarket.
The goods in the supermarket had long been emptied, leaving behind only non-edible and non-drinkable items.
Such as children’s toys, ping pong balls, etc.
"Hey, Mr. Liang, look here."
Ni Qi suddenly stopped and pointed to the floor.
Liang Yuan walked over, looked at the ground, and saw a series of clear footprints.
"These footprints are clear; they seem to be recent." Ni Qi quietly analyzed.
Liang Yuan slightly nodded, "Looks like there are indeed survivors here."
"Could it be Qinghua and his group?" Ni Qi couldn’t help but ask.
Liang Yuan gently shook his head, "These are individual footprints. If they came together, they probably wouldn’t go out alone."
"Besides, they’re hunting Genetic Species level mutant beasts, not scavenging for resources; within just a few days, their supplies shouldn’t be depleted so quickly."
As he spoke, Liang Yuan’s ears suddenly twitched, he quickly turned to look down the hallway.
"What’s the matter..."
"Shh—"
Liang Yuan immediately shook his head and quickly pulled Ni Qi to hide by a nearby shelf.
Ni Qi, puzzled, in a short while, heard faint footsteps in the hallway.
He immediately narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and reached to grab Liang Yuan’s arm.
Liang Yuan raised an eyebrow and looked at Ni Qi.
Ni Qi activated his superpower, and instantly, Liang Yuan felt as if everything around him had suddenly grown larger.
He immediately realized that it wasn’t the items around him that had grown larger; it was he who had become smaller!
Ni Qi used his superpower!
He quickly understood that by shrinking both himself and him, Ni Qi made it easier to conceal themselves.
At that moment, he gave Ni Qi a thumbs up, and Ni Qi smiled.
Footsteps were already approaching.
Liang Yuan and Ni Qi immediately looked up.
In the darkness, a not-too-tall, somewhat thin figure slowly approached the store.
Judging by the figure, it seemed to be a woman.
But Liang Yuan couldn’t be sure, as the person was wrapped all over, wearing a loose robe.
The person came to the store, didn’t immediately go in, first lingered at the entrance for a while, and after confirming that no one was inside, then slipped in.
This person didn’t search the shelves but went straight to the innermost part of the shelves.
Liang Yuan and Ni Qi exchanged a look and immediately followed.
As they passed the shelves, Liang Yuan noticed that there was actually a small door at the innermost part.
That person opened the small door and then closed the room door with a reverse hand.
Liang Yuan and Ni Qi exchanged a look, and Ni Qi said in a low voice, "This kind of place is usually a small room in the supermarket, it shouldn’t have any goods or the like."
Liang Yuan patted his shoulder and said, "No worries, this person is just an ordinary superpower user, nothing to worry about."
He had already checked with spiritual ability glasses, and the person’s main attribute was only 34 points.
Ni Qi, hearing this, couldn’t help but smile, "Then that’s easy to handle."
He withdrew his superpower, and the two quickly returned to their original size.
Liang Yuan stepped forward, and with one hand forcefully pushed the door of the small room.
Bam!
As the door swung open, a shadow flashed, along with a sharp cold glow stabbing towards Liang Yuan.
Liang Yuan remained expressionless, not even dodging.
With a burst of telekinesis, there was a loud bang.
An invisible telekinesis wall sealed all around, the tip of the person’s knife did not pierce, and the entire person was sent flying.
This scene was reminiscent of how the big-headed doll in Henglong Building dealt with Liang Yuan and company.
Nowadays, with Liang Yuan’s spiritual power reaching 83.5, he can easily accomplish such feats.
The small figure was suspended in the air by Liang Yuan’s formidable telekinesis, instantly plunged into panic, struggling fiercely.
"Let me go!"
The small figure shouted angrily, the voice clear, like silver bells.
Sure enough, it was a girl!
Liang Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly, coldly said, "What’s your name?"
"Hah, have the guts to kill me!"
The girl spat at Liang Yuan, resentful.
The spit stopped in mid-air, naturally unable to reach Liang Yuan.
Ni Qi curiously asked, "She’s a woman, yet alone out here, wonder if she has something to rely on, or some other reason."
Liang Yuan waved his hand, and the girl’s hood was instantly taken off by telekinesis.
However, the appearance of this girl took Liang Yuan and Ni Qi by surprise.
She had human facial features and hair, but her skin was unusually fair, and on her forehead, there was a pink scale, resembling Guanyin.
At that moment, as her anger spread, her face and neck began to sprout a large number of pink scales.
Ni Qi exclaimed in surprise, "Merfolk?"
Liang Yuan thought immediately of Zhang Peng’s superpower.
In Yangshan, Zhang Peng was the only one possessing the merfolk superpower.
He could transform into the legendary merfolk, not only breathing underwater but also his scales had powerful defense ability.
He himself also possessed great strength and underwater speed.
Liang Yuan didn’t expect this girl in front of him to also have a similar ability.
Looking closely, she differed slightly from Zhang Peng’s merfolk ability.
Her scales were not dark blue like Zhang Peng’s, rather pink.
It’s unknown whether it’s due to gender or some other reason.
Liang Yuan looked at her hands.
She was wearing gloves, seemingly hiding something.
Liang Yuan instantly activated telekinesis, yanked off her gloves.
Her fingers similarly had elongated webbing and prominently sharp nails, sharp as hooks.
This appearance closely resembled Zhang Peng.
Liang Yuan asked, "Are you a merfolk superpower user?"
The girl opened her mouth, revealing sharp fangs, snarling, "Let me go, let me go! I won’t say anything, give up!"
Liang Yuan frowned, the girl seemed to have some misunderstanding about them.
Ni Qi hurriedly explained, "Hey, we’re not bad people, we’re looking for someone."
"Get lost!"
The girl shouted angrily, refusing to let Ni Qi approach, clawing to attack Ni Qi, but unable to control her body at all.
Clearly, she harbored strong hostility towards Ni Qi.
Liang Yuan said in a deep voice, "I can let you go, but you need to answer a few questions."
"Impossible, you dream on, I won’t say anything!"
Liang Yuan frowned, Ni Qi couldn’t help but say, "We’re looking for our friends, really not bad people."
She froze, her fierce expression momentarily paused, she examined Liang Yuan and Ni Qi, suddenly realized something, then excitedly asked, "You, you’re from outside? You’re not from here?"
