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

Chapter 1190: Chapter 530: Wang Ling’Er’s Departure, Winter Approaches

"Brother Liang."

Wang Ling’er greeted Liang Yuan, then glanced at Ma Guocai nearby.

Ma Guocai immediately smiled and said, "You guys chat, I’ve got some things to handle at the construction site."

Liang Yuan nodded, and Ma Guocai strode away from the scene.

"Ling’er, did something happen?"

Wang Ling’er looked around and said, "Come to my place; there are too many people here, and it’s not secure enough."

Liang Yuan raised an eyebrow, knowing she might have something important to discuss.

He nodded and said, "Let’s go."

The two stepped onto Spirit Jade Island together. Here, Wang Ling’er had absolute control and naturally didn’t fear eavesdroppers.

Even so, Liang Yuan waved his hand, and Spiritual Telekinesis spread around, forming a barrier.

Only then did he ask, "Did something happen?"

Wang Ling’er took out a slip of paper and said, "Take a look at this."

Liang Yuan opened the note quickly; it contained only a few words.

"Downstream of Linjiang, a Floating Island appeared, come quickly!"

The content was brief, yet the information was astonishing.

Even Liang Yuan couldn’t help but show surprise.

"A Floating Island? Where did this note come from?"

Wang Ling’er said in a low voice, "It was sent by a friend of mine."

"Sent?" Liang Yuan’s eyebrows shot up.

This isn’t before the great flood; how did she manage to send mail with the land flooded?

Wang Ling’er naturally knew what Liang Yuan was thinking and explained immediately, "I made friends with her in Guangfu. When we parted, I gave her a thunderbird, which I’ve tamed with my Beast Taming Skills."

"I instructed her not to use the thunderbird unless it was a matter of life and death."

Only then did Liang Yuan understand.

The thunderbird should be some kind of flying mutant beast, which had been subdued by Wang Ling’er’s Beast Taming Ability.

She left it with her friend in case her friend encountered trouble and needed to alert her for help.

Liang Yuan asked, "Can you trust this friend of yours?"

Wang Ling’er nodded without hesitation, "Of course, she’s probably the person I trust the most besides my sister."

Liang Yuan didn’t know what kind of bond she had with her friend.

But since she could express her trust so firmly, their relationship must be quite deep.

Liang Yuan pondered and asked, "What do you plan to do?"

"I want to give it a try."

Wang Ling’er spoke frankly, her expression solemn, "Spirit Jade Island is good, but it ultimately relies on the body of a giant turtle, and no one knows how long it will live."

"Also, it can’t carry too much weight, which greatly limits the development of Spirit Jade Island."

"After the Three Great Sects attacked Yangshan, I’ve realized that going solo is ultimately unsustainable; developing power is necessary."

"With heavy rain constantly falling, the floodwaters will keep rising. Only by having a Floating Island can we truly survive."

"Moreover, the weather is getting colder and colder. I’m worried that if the water surface freezes, Spirit Jade Island’s advantage in fast mobility will be gone."

"At that time, with the grudge between Spirit Jade Island and the Three Great Sects, if we can’t move, we’ll become sitting targets."

Wang Ling’er’s concerns were justified.

If winter arrives and the surface freezes, the giant turtle’s advantage of fast movement underwater will be lost.

Moreover, if it continues floating on the surface, it could easily get frozen in.

If it chooses to go underwater to hibernate, those on the island would face oxygen shortages.

Of course, the giant turtle itself would need to breathe, but it only needs its head above water to breathe, not its entire body.

There’s another important issue to consider: does the giant turtle need to hibernate after its evolution?

If it does, will it hibernate underwater or on the surface?

If it’s on the surface, wouldn’t it become a target?

In summary, Wang Ling’er urgently needed a Floating Island as a base for Spirit Jade Island.

Liang Yuan, listening to her, said, "Don’t worry. I have some ideas about this giant turtle problem of yours."

"First, does it need to hibernate?"

Wang Ling’er nodded slightly, "I’ve communicated with it; it needs to hibernate, and to prevent being attacked during hibernation, it will choose to hibernate in deep water."

Liang Yuan frowned, "Won’t it run out of oxygen?"

"During hibernation, its oxygen consumption is minimal. It will store a large amount of oxygen in its turtle shell to last through the winter."

Liang Yuan nodded slightly, "If that’s the case, everyone on Spirit Jade Island can spend the winter on Yangshan."

Wang Ling’er smiled wryly, "Thank you, Brother Liang, but that’s not a long-term solution. If the water keeps rising, how long can Yangshan hold out?"

"Now all the major factions understand this. Everyone is desperately searching for Floating Islands to solve the rising flood issue."

Liang Yuan nodded slightly; he knew well that Floating Islands were the best survival spots in the Flood World.

He pondered and said, "We still don’t know the detailed information about this Floating Island, and it’s a clear target. Once it appears, it will surely draw attention from many factions."

"I’m afraid the Three Great Sects and the Guangfu Military might all get involved."

Wang Ling’er nodded, "So we need to be as quick as possible, get there early, find the Heart Core and Brain Core, and refine them. That way, we’ll be settled and won’t need to worry."

Liang Yuan understood her urgency, but Yangshan had just gone through a major battle.

Liang Yuan worried that if he hastily left Yangshan, it might face another attack.

Furthermore, with unclear information, what if this was a ruse by the Three Great Sects to lure them away?

So even if they were to go, it would be best to investigate thoroughly before making a decision.

Liang Yuan shared his thoughts with Wang Ling’Er.

Upon hearing this, Wang Ling’Er immediately said, "In that case, Brother Liang, since you’re already back at Yangshan, with you overseeing things here, I’m sure the Three Great Sects won’t dare to make a move easily."

"Why don’t we, the Spirit Jade Island, go ahead and verify the accuracy of this information first."

"If the information is accurate, I’ll send someone to inform you, how about that?"

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "That works, then I wish you a safe journey."

It’s not good for him to leave Yangshan, but there’s no reason to hold anyone back.

Wang Ling’Er smiled and bid farewell to Liang Yuan, and on his way, Liang Yuan asked him to pass a message to Tu Long and Nai Bai at Ring City World Trade.

Tell them that the matter is over and they should come back.

Wang Ling’Er nodded in agreement.

That noon, the Yangshan management had a farewell meal together with the senior members of Spirit Jade Island.

In the afternoon, Spirit Jade Island’s giant turtle officially set out, bidding farewell to Yangshan.

Watching Spirit Jade Island leave swiftly, Liang Yuan sensed Wang Ling’Er’s urgency from the rapid departure of the giant turtle.

The Floating Island, truly captivating.

Zhao Kai couldn’t help but say, "Brother Liang, if it really is the Floating Island, aren’t we going?"

Liang Yuan smiled, "We’ll go, of course, but I’m not at ease with leaving Yangshan unattended. You all work on improving your strength so that I can confidently compete for the Floating Island."

Zhao Kai, upon hearing this, immediately looked embarrassed, "It’s our fault for being useless and holding Brother Liang back."

Liang Yuan waved his hand, "What are you talking about? You’re already cultivating very rapidly."

"It’s just that those in the Three Great Sects take crooked paths, forcing their followers to refine Genetic Species at the cost of lives to force breakthroughs."

"Don’t be fooled by the number of Genetic Species they have; who knows how many lives were lost to create them."

"Moreover, they’ve occupied the Floating Island, which originally has better resources than here. Coupled with their ruthless cultivation methods, there’s no need to compare yourselves to them."

"You follow the proper steps, and we’ll only grow stronger."

Zhao Kai was deeply moved, understanding Liang Yuan’s well-meaning intentions.

He nodded vigorously, "Brother Liang, rest assured, I won’t let you down."

With the abundant supply of Ice Attribute Blood Crystals from Liang Yuan, his strength was advancing by leaps and bounds.

He could feel his Superpower Energy increasing almost daily.

Yesterday, when testing with Spiritual Ability Glasses, his Main Attribute had increased by 2 points.

But he knew this still wasn’t enough!

Far from enough!

Every time he lay in the quiet of night, he remembered being buried underground by the experts of the Three Great Sects, his head underfoot. The humiliation kept him awake.

When they used his beloved Feifei to threaten him, the powerlessness filled him with terror.

He felt as if he was back in Meidu Garden, a useless college student who couldn’t protect his girlfriend.

He never wanted to become that kind of waste again!

So he constantly reminded himself, pushing himself to train frantically almost without rest.

Liang Yuan could see his desperation, and Liu Feifei had been worried many times.

Despite persuasion attempts that went unheeded, she even approached Liang Yuan, asking him to talk to Zhao Kai.

Liang Yuan, seeing Zhao Kai’s serious expression, smiled and said, "No need to push yourself too hard; Yangshan isn’t yours to protect alone."

"As long as I’m here, nothing will go wrong. Feifei told me, you’ve been training like a madman recently."

Zhao Kai was stunned, then dejectedly said, "I’m just a waste. Brother Liang, you’ve given me so many resources, yet my strength grows so slowly."

Liang Yuan shook his head, "Where are you slow? You’re now, apart from me, the one with the highest Main Attribute in Yangshan, did you know?"

"But... that’s still not enough. Compared to the beasts of the Three Great Sects, I’m still lacking," Zhao Kai gritted his teeth.

Liang Yuan said, "No rush, you’ll surpass them eventually, it’s just a matter of time."

"The Three Great Sects may have many experts in Genetic Species, but most are hybrids. Faced with you, even if their Main Attribute is slightly stronger, they’ll no longer be your match."

Zhao Kai’s eyes suddenly lit up, asking, "Really, Brother Liang?"

Liang Yuan laughed, "Why would I lie to you? Have you forgotten when you single-handedly held off three Gene Species experts from the Three Great Sects?"

"That wasn’t luck; it was your strength. They’re ultimately misguided."

"Don’t rush, soon we’ll have more Genetic Species experts on our side."

"The burden on you will lighten."

"Yangshan will only get better, and we won’t allow anyone to bully us again!"

Zhao Kai took a deep breath and looked at Liang Yuan, "Brother Liang, Yangshan is fortunate to have you."

Liang Yuan shook his head, "Fortunate to have all of you."

The two stood on the harbor pier, looking out over the pouring rain as it hit the endless water surface, creating ripples.

Just like this world, continuous waves and endless twists.

Yet they still stood firm above the water.

Suddenly, Zhao Kai saw a sesame-sized ice pellet falling in front of him.

He was slightly startled and instinctively reached out.

Seeing the small ice pellet mixed with the rain, it was inconspicuous.

But as an Ice Attribute Superpower User, he identified it immediately.

This was ice!

He instinctively turned to Liang Yuan and said, "Brother Liang, look at this—"

Turning his head, he saw Liang Yuan also looking up at the sky, a serious expression on his face.

"The temperature’s dropping, winter is coming."
