Chapter 1192: Chapter 532: The Black Floating Island
"The news about the Floating Island seems to be true?"
Liang Yuan said in a deep voice.
Li Qinghua was taken aback and asked, "You know?"
Liang Yuan nodded slightly, "Spirit Jade Island set off a week ago, heading downstream to Linjiang to investigate the situation."
"But I had an agreement with Spirit Island Master Ling’er that if there were any developments, she would send word."
"So far, there hasn’t been any response from her, the news about the Floating Island might not be accurate."
Li Qinghua couldn’t help but say, "Mr. Liang, such an important land resource as the Floating Island, even if someone discovered it, they wouldn’t easily reveal it."
Liang Yuan glanced at him, understanding what he meant.
Obviously, Li Qinghua suspected that Wang Ling’Er had found the Floating Island but wasn’t planning on telling Liang Yuan.
However, Liang Yuan trusted Wang Ling’Er more.
Wang Ling’Er indeed urgently needed a Floating Island as a base.
Though her Spirit Jade Island had many genetic experts, there weren’t many top-tier experts.
Working with him to seize the Floating Island would maximize benefits and minimize risks.
According to Li Qinghua, the news about the Floating Island had already completely leaked.
Many forces were rushing over one after another.
Given the scale of Spirit Jade Island, it might not be able to seize it.
So if Wang Ling’Er were truly smart, she definitely wouldn’t deliberately hide it and would certainly contact him as a strong ally.
As for why she hadn’t contacted him yet.
Liang Yuan speculated that either there was an issue with the knowledge of the Floating Island,
or Wang Ling’Er encountered trouble and couldn’t get the message through.
He thought for a moment and said, "Previously, I was worried about leaving Yangshan, as the Three Great Sects might take advantage of it, but now you’ve broken through to the Genetic Species level and refined the Heart Core of the Mirage Snake Space."
"Now that the Mirage Snake Space has transferred over to Yangshan, I can rest assured to go and explore."
"So, Yangshan will continue according to the original plan for the time being. The departments that need to move to the Mirage Snake Space should continue the relocation."
"I’m going down to the estuary downstream of Linjiang now."
Liang Yuan decided to go personally.
Regardless of whether the Floating Island was real or not, since Wang Ling’Er hadn’t sent any message back, she might be in danger.
The people on Spirit Jade Island had already allied with Yangshan. If they could be completely won over, that would be best.
Li Qinghua immediately nodded, "Alright, rest assured about Yangshan, we’ll handle everything."
Liang Yuan nodded immediately and then went to find Ding Yan and Zhao Kai, explaining his plans to go out this time.
Ding Yan immediately said, "I’ll go with you."
Liang Yuan shook his head, "No, Yangshan currently lacks high-level combat power. Right now, you, Zhao Kai, and Li Qinghua are considered the top combat strength of Yangshan, you definitely can’t leave."
"Furthermore, Song Wen, Dong Yan, Dr. Yang, Shi Haizhu, and the others are also about to start coalescing Genetic Species, we can’t afford to be careless."
"At this critical moment, Yangshan needs you to sit in command."
"But, you alone—"
Liang Yuan waved his hand and smiled, "I can come and go freely by myself, aren’t you confident about me?"
"Which among the Three Great Sects could be my match?"
Ding Yan bit her red lips, a little helpless.
Of course, she knew that Liang Yuan was powerful, but she wanted to explore the outside with him.
But she also knew that Yangshan indeed lacked masters to hold the fort right now.
Currently, only a few of them had made a breakthrough to the Genetic Species level. If they left, any expert from outside could pose a threat to Yangshan.
"Sigh, this Floating Island, why does it have to appear at this exact moment?"
"If it appeared a few days later, once Song Wen and the others break through to the Genetic Species, I could go with you."
Liang Yuan laughed and said, "Even if they break through, they’ll need time to consolidate and become familiar with the fighting strength at the Genetic Species Level, you all still need to stay in Yangshan."
Zhao Kai didn’t say anything; he had already matured.
Last time, he could already manage on his own, and this time would be no exception.
With everything arranged properly, Liang Yuan took a speedboat, rushing swiftly towards the downstream direction of Linjiang.
The downstream of Linjiang was east of the Linjiang Industrial Park, needing to cross the urban area and the park to reach it.
The direct distance was about a hundred kilometers.
Luckily, the speedboat was not slow, moving at a speed of over forty kilometers per hour, it would take only a little over two hours to reach.
Of course, that was under the condition that there were no delays.
As the speedboat passed through the urban area and approached the park, Liang Yuan suddenly felt the waters in this area looked familiar.
"Huh, isn’t this near the Ring City World Trade Building?"
Liang Yuan opened the map, checked around, and suddenly realized.
No wonder it looked familiar, he had been here last time when looking for Jiang Ziyin.
Liang Yuan suddenly thought of the shelter where Huang Guangzu was located.
Tu Long and Nai Bai hadn’t returned to Yangshan yet, he had asked Wang Ling’Er to notify them to return when passing by, but after a week, these two still hadn’t come back.
This made Liang Yuan feel something was off.
"Huang Guangzu has been planted with a Parasite Species, surely he’s not stupid enough to dare betray me?"
Liang Yuan sensed the location of Huang Guangzu’s Parasite Species and immediately frowned.
"It’s actually not nearby?"
Liang Yuan sensed for a moment and found that the Genetic Seed of Huang Guangzu was indeed not nearby.
He immediately maneuvered the speedboat, rushing towards the Ring City World Trade Building at full speed.
Soon, the speedboat arrived at the Ring City World Trade Building.
However, when he saw the current state of the Ring City World Trade, Liang Yuan was taken aback.
He saw that the once towering Ring City World Trade Building had collapsed by more than half, leaving a small section still above the water.
The broken building was covered with cracks.
The walls had huge gaps, exposing the steel bars inside.
Liang Yuan’s figure leapt into the air, swiftly stepping into the void, arriving above the fractured wall of the building.
He looked down, the entire building was a scene of devastation, with a large amount of blood remaining inside, bodies laid out horizontally.
Liang Yuan’s heart skipped a beat: "There has been a severe battle here, such a big commotion, was it a Mutant Beast?"
Liang Yuan’s face turned somber, he immediately entered the staircase quickly to search.
However, the entire building was severely collapsed, with no survivors in sight, only broken bodies.
Liang Yuan searched around and couldn’t find familiar faces.
He couldn’t help but let out a breath of relief.
"As long as there are no bodies seen, there is still hope."
He glanced at the icy floodwaters, contemplated a bit, and directly leapt in, diving underwater to investigate.
Sure enough, in the depths of the water, there lay the debris of the collapsed building.
Liang Yuan swiftly made a round in the depths, inside this collapsed building, there were quite a few bodies.
Some were crushed to death by stones, some trapped inside and drowned.
Suddenly, Liang Yuan’s gaze sharpened, seeing a familiar face.
It was a woman pressed under stones, swollen somewhat by the floodwater.
But Liang Yuan still recognized her.
Wang Ping!
The mother of the girl named Yuan Weiwei, and a neighbor of Jiang Ziyin.
Liang Yuan couldn’t help but pause for a moment, ultimately bypassing the body and kept searching.
Still unable to find Huang Guangzu and Tu Long.
It seemed they escaped from here.
With Huang Guangzu’s Light Elementalization ability, such crises wouldn’t harm him.
And with Nai Bai and Tu Long together, Tu Long’s Tattoo Spirit Superpower could adapt to various environments, escaping here with Nai Bai shouldn’t be a big problem.
Liang Yuan was just curious about what exactly happened here.
"Could it be the Water God Sect came knocking later?"
"The Thunder Cannon of the Water God Sect is quite powerful, it might have directly blown up the Ring City World Trade."
Liang Yuan thought briefly and returned to the ship, boarded a speedboat, and sensed Huang Guangzu’s Parasite Species.
"The Parasite Species is still here, indicating Huang Guangzu is still alive."
"Don’t know if Tu Long and Nai Bai are with him."
The speedboat sped along, breaking through the wind and waves, feeling the icy rain mixed with grainy snowflakes overhead.
Liang Yuan could clearly feel today’s temperature was much lower compared to yesterday.
"Don’t know how many more people will die this winter."
An hour later, Liang Yuan’s speedboat slowed down.
He furrowed his brow slightly, looking at the vast ocean ahead.
"This direction is nearing the entrance to the downstream of Linjiang."
"How could Huang Guangzu’s Parasite Species be located here?"
Liang Yuan was surprised, his thoughts turned slightly: "Could Huang Guangzu also be planning to fight for the Floating Island?"
He sensed the location of the Parasite Species, unhesitatingly entered Linjiang.
With the floodwaters rising now, it’s hard to distinguish where the river channel is and where the city is.
But here, the water surface stretches forth without bounds, no tall buildings visible, it’s likely already within the Linjiang river channel.
Going forward, Liang Yuan sensed the Parasite Species was getting closer and closer.
About twenty minutes later, he saw that the sky ahead mysteriously darkened.
That piece of sky seemed to be shrouded by thick clouds, pitch black.
As if a black hole absorbed all the light.
Outside that black hole, many ships were parked.
Liang Yuan sensed Huang Guangzu’s Parasite Species on one of those ships.
"What is that thing?"
Liang Yuan was somewhat surprised, the black hole was immensely large, covering the sky, spreading over the water surface.
At first glance, it seemed as if the heavens and earth were covered with a black cloth.
Liang Yuan’s gaze wandered, looking toward the nearby ships, searching for Spirit Jade Island.
Yet after circling once, there was no sight of Spirit Jade Island, only various ships moored nearby.
Liang Yuan’s speedboat slowly approached, but before he could fully enter the vicinity of that water area.
Suddenly an airborne sound shot from a nearby small boat.
"Woo—!"
A sharp shriek resounded, Liang Yuan raised his eyebrows, and saw a Water Arrow shooting forth.
Liang Yuan saw this, his expression darkened, and he waved his hand!
Swish!
Powerful Spiritual Telekinesis instantly broke through the sky, fiercely clapping onto the Water Arrow.
Boom!
The Water Arrow exploded, turning into splashes falling down.
On that small boat, a middle-aged man with a large beard stood up, sneering: "Spiritual Telekinesis? Blocking my attack, looks like you are a Genetic Species master."
"Kid, which force are you with?"
Liang Yuan’s gaze flickered, sweeping over the front among various ships, calmly said: "Is it any of your business?"
The bearded man glared suddenly, coldly said: "Do you damn well know who I am? Daring to be so arrogant?"
Someone immediately chimed in, scolding: "Kid, standing before you is the captain of the Far Sailing ship of Baoshan City’s largest survivor shelter, you better watch your tone."
Another person also said: "Access is now prohibited to survivors like you here, just get back to where you came from!"
During their conversation, Liang Yuan understood.
The Floating Island appeared, nearby well-known survivor forces all came running.
These people surrounded this Floating Island, restricting personal access, lest some lucky person rudimentary refine the Floating Island Core Brain Core.
