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

Chapter 1217: Chapter 555: Conflict

Liang Yuan patted his shoulder to comfort him.

Han Tao cried like a child, full of grievances.

He wasn’t afraid of death or bleeding, or fighting desperately with this soldier thug.

But he was afraid of causing trouble for Yangshan, afraid of causing trouble for Captain Zhao Kai and Captain Li Qinghua.

Clearly, he was the one who arrived first to line up, and clearly his brother needed to get some sunlight immediately.

Yet, these soldier thugs insisted on cutting in line, insisted on bullying him.

He’s aggrieved!

At this moment, that buzz-cut soldier thug turned his head, saw Liang Yuan, and slightly frowned.

He didn’t recognize Liang Yuan, but he did recognize a few people behind Liang Yuan, including Ding Yan.

The soldier thug glanced at Ding Yan, a hint of greed appeared in his eyes, especially lingering on Ding Yan’s prominent chest.

Only then did he speak: "Captain Ding, who is he?"

Ding Yan looked at him coldly: "Zhao Liang, you’d better shut up now, otherwise no one can save you."

The buzz-cut soldier thug was originally named Zhao Liang.

Upon hearing this, a surge of anger instantly rose in his heart.

If these words were spoken by someone else, he wouldn’t care much.

But these words were uttered by the woman he had coveted for a long time, and he felt deeply humiliated.

Zhao Liang immediately turned his target on Liang Yuan, sneering: "Kid, seems like you’ve gotten close to Captain Ding, huh, daring to talk to us like this?"

"Have you all forgotten who defended Yangshan for you, who saved you from the Three Great Sects?"

"Your leader, that Li Qinghua, stood outside our military camp in the pouring rain, waiting miserably for over two hours. It was only after I reported that he was able to meet our district general."

"Are you planning to bite the hand that feeds you now? Hahaha, are you doing it too soon?"

"Do you believe that if we withdraw from Yangshan now, the Three Great Sects can wipe you out by tomorrow!"

Liang Yuan helped Han Tao up, looking over expressionless.

Ding Yan also laughed in anger, finding it too lazy to even argue.

Beside them, Zhang Peng looked at Liang Yuan and asked: "Mr. Liang, shall I?"

Liang Yuan nodded slightly: "Make it big."

Everyone was stunned, then Zhang Peng’s eyes suddenly shone with brilliance, he laughed heartily: "Understood!"

"You, what are you going to do?" Zhao Liang looked at Zhang Peng’s sinister smile, his expression changing immediately.

He instinctively raised the superpower firearm in his hand, pointed it at Zhang Peng, issuing a stern warning.

"Halt! Don’t force me to shoot!"

"Are you not afraid that if you initiate a conflict, our military will immediately withdraw personnel?"

The companions behind Zhao Liang also issued threatening voices.

Zhang Peng laughed sinisterly: "Haha, you better withdraw immediately! I’ve long been fed up with your pretentious lot."

Boom!

Suddenly, his entire aura surged, scales spread all over his body, even his face turned ferocious, with sharp teeth!

Merfolk transformation!

Almost instantly, Zhang Peng transformed into his strongest form.

And with this move, the soldiers in military uniforms opposite were shocked.

Zhao Liang, without hesitation, pulled the trigger directly, shouting: "Damn, shoot!"

Bang!

He aimed his firearm at Zhang Peng and activated it fiercely.

In an instant, a laser beam shot out.

However, Zhang Peng almost immediately clenched his arms, scales trembling all over his body, brazenly standing against the laser, defiantly punching!

With a roar, layers of air waves overlapped, roaring and exploding.

The terrifying qi force surged, the laser beam was almost deflected by the punch.

In an instant, Zhao Liang and his companions were sent flying back by the aftershock of the laser gun.

Zhang Peng, without stopping his stride, leaped forward, closing in on them instantly, single-handedly grabbing Zhao Liang’s neck.

The next moment, Zhang Peng raised his right arm high and swung it down fiercely.

"Slap—slap—slap!"

Three consecutive heavy slaps landed fiercely on Zhao Liang’s face.

The scale armor on his palm even scraped off a layer of skin from Zhao Liang’s face!

"Ah—damn it, you dare to hit me!"

Zhao Liang screamed, cursing angrily, evidently unaware of the seriousness of the situation.

Zhang Peng grabbed his chin, sneering: "Scold! If you scold again, I’ll cut out your tongue and see if you can still scold?"

As he spoke, he forcibly pried Zhao Liang’s mouth open.

Zhao Liang’s face instantly showed fear and a hint of disbelief.

"Ugh—you, you dare!"

Phuh!

Then Zhang Peng’s fingers directly pinched his tongue.

Before Zhao Liang could react, his mouth was filled with sharp pain.

His tongue was forcibly torn off by Zhang Peng’s sharp nails!

In an instant, his mouth filled with blood, the sharp pain swept into his cerebral cortex.

"Ugh—ah—"

Zhao Liang let out the most tragic scream ever.

The two soldiers in camouflage lying on the ground were already frightened.

They never thought that the people from Yangshan Shelter, who had been cowardly for over a month, would suddenly stand up boldly.

Zhang Peng didn’t stop, lifted his head, and shouted: "Han Tao, come here!"

The young man with red eyes immediately ran over excitedly: "Captain Zhang! I’m here!"

"Go, strip his clothes and hang him at the entrance of the sunroom, damn it, doesn’t he like to sunbathe? Let him sunbathe enough!"

Han Tao instantly showed excitement: "Leave it to me, Captain Zhang!"

Han Tao was thrilled, immediately fetching ropes to tie Zhao Liang up.

In full view, Zhao Liang’s clothes were stripped off, and he was hung up.

Seeing this scene, everyone widened their eyes.

The people of Yangshan expunged a long-standing sense of oppression, as if in this moment they exhaled fiercely.

Everyone’s eyes lit up, many looking fervently at Liang Yuan.

The sound of whispered discussions quickly spread.

"I knew it, as long as Mr. Liang returns, we’ll immediately be freed!"

"Goddamn it, I’ve long been fed up with this group of military thugs."

"Damn, these people wear camouflage uniforms, pretending to be decent, who the hell knows if they were ever real soldiers."

"I heard that after the Great Flood, the Guangfu Military recruited a lot of people, and these folks weren’t real soldiers before."

"That’s definitely impossible. Before the Great Flood, joining the army was so hard, even with connections, you might not get in."

"Damn, using their military status to oppress us, bah, they don’t deserve it!"

"Mr. Liang is amazing. I just knew, with Mr. Liang back, he won’t sit by and do nothing!"

"I wonder if they really had a falling out with these soldiers, how will Mr. Liang handle it."

"Screw it, we’re not afraid. Mr. Liang is so capable. Even when the Three Great Sects attacked us with the virus, we weren’t scared! Now that Mr. Liang is back, why would we be scared?"

"Damn it, worst case, we’ll fight to the death!"

"Exactly!"

...

The Essence, Qi, and Spirit of the people of the Yangshan Shelter seemed to have fully returned at this moment.

Everyone became full of vigor, their eyes filled with excitement.

They knew, this was just the beginning!

With Mr. Liang’s return, the situation in Yangshan was bound to undergo a dramatic change.

The two camouflaged soldiers on the ground saw this scene, their faces turning pale, and they couldn’t help but shout: "You, you... how dare you!"

"Just wait, wait, I’m going to tell our captain right now!"

The two hurriedly scrambled up and rushed towards the bamboo grove.

Zhang Peng sneered, looking at Liang Yuan, his gaze asking whether to block them.

Liang Yuan replied indifferently, "Ignore them. If the military dares, let them come to the Leader’s Mansion to find me."

After speaking, he directly took Ding Yan with him and walked towards the Leader’s Mansion.

Along the way, many Yangshan people who saw Liang Yuan immediately showed expressions of surprise and delight.

"Mr. Liang!"

"Hello, Mr. Liang!"

"Mr. Liang is back!"

In an instant, the news of Liang Yuan’s return spread like wildfire across Yangshan.

The entire Yangshan was shaken, and all the people in the Yangshan Shelter were wildly excited.

Leader’s Mansion.

Yang Shenmin, Han Xiangman, Tu Long, and others were all present.

"The military people are becoming more and more excessive," Tu Long said, his face darkening.

"This morning alone, there were three incidents of military personnel openly violating our Yangshan rules."

"The law enforcement team tried to arrest the relevant personnel, but those people hid in the military camp and wouldn’t come out. Our law enforcement team couldn’t get in."

After Tu Long finished speaking, Han Xiangman, with the same expression as dark as still water, said, "Zhang Dazhi’s people came to the navy fleet today, demanding that we take turns to change posts."

"Their ambitions are clear to everyone. The navy fleet’s ships involve our research department’s core technological secrets. If they take over, those will surely be leaked."

"The defense network system that Professor Li worked so hard to develop has already been extorted by them. Now they want even more of our technology!"

Shi Haizhu also said in a deep voice, "Dr. Yang, the military people have become increasingly excessive recently. Their ordinary soldiers are getting more and more arrogant and overbearing. We can’t let this go on."

At this point, Old Ma, who hadn’t spoken yet, couldn’t help but say, "Sigh, working with the military felt like bringing wolves into the house from the very start, and sure enough."

Yang Shenmin shook his head and sighed, "You all knew the situation at the time."

"Qinghua has the Mirage Snake Space, but unless we completely abandon Yangshan and all move into the Mirage Snake Space, as long as we want to keep Yangshan, we’ll have to face pressure from the Three Great Sects."

"At that time, finding external assistance was not easy, and we couldn’t plan that far ahead."

"Now, most of our important departments have been transferred to Mirage Snake Space. The remaining task is to do everything possible to preserve the sovereignty of Yangshan."

"Those soldiers are likely receiving hints from Zhang Dazhi and others of higher rank, deliberately testing our limits."

Tu Long frowned and couldn’t help but say, "Damn it, if this continues, I’m afraid our people’s morale will completely collapse."

Old Ma also sighed, "Right now, there’s no other way, we just have to bear it."

"We need more high-level Genetic Species users on our side to increase our overall strength."

"Otherwise, we have no power to stand up to the military."

Han Xiangman sighed as well and said, "If only Mr. Liang were here... "

Upon hearing this, everyone sighed.

Without Mr. Liang, Yangshan was indeed struggling to move forward.

In the end, it came down to them not improving fast enough.

Despite the fact that among those present, Tu Long, Old Ma, Han Xiangman, Shi Haizhu, and others have already broken through to become Superpower Users.

But as newly awakened Genetic Species Superpower Users, their Main Attribute progression wasn’t fast enough.

Their Genetic Species were from the batch initially obtained through a deal between Liang Yuan and Wang Ling’Er.

Whether it’s the Mirage Snake Space or the Ice Attribute Blood Crystal that Liang Yuan brought back from Mist City, only the space-type and ice attribute Genetic Species can be refined from them.

Across Yangshan, there is only one Space Ability User, Li Qinghua.

As for the ice attribute, apart from Zhao Kai, there are a few newly awakened Superpower Users, but they awakened too late and have not achieved anything significant, nor have they reached the stage of Awakening to a Genetic Species.

In short, Yangshan still lacks advanced Genetic Species users, which leads to the current predicament.

Everyone appeared worried, and inside the Leader’s Mansion, there was a sudden silence.

Just then, a commotion erupted outside, and it even reached the inside of the Leader’s Mansion.

Yang Shenmin couldn’t help but frown and ask, "What’s happening outside?"

"Damn it, it’s not the military causing trouble again, is it?" Tu Long couldn’t help but curse.

"I’ll go take a look." Old Ma stood up and was about to walk outside.

Suddenly, a group of people walked in through the door, and at the first glance, Old Ma’s eyes widened with excitement.

"Liang Yuan!"

This shout instantly caused the worried Yang Shenmin and the others to look up sharply.

In that moment, excitement and joy erupted on everyone’s faces.

"Mr. Liang!" Yang Shenmin exclaimed with delight.

Shi Haizhu was also overjoyed and shouted, "Mr. Liang, is that really you?"

Tu Long exclaimed in surprise, "Mr. Liang, you’re back!"

Han Xiangman’s eyes seemed to mist up as she gazed at Liang Yuan, her lips slightly parted, her face full of joy.

She even took a couple of steps forward but suddenly realized something, forcing herself to restrain her feelings and simply shouting, "Liang... Mr. Liang!"

Liang Yuan looked at everyone and smiled, "Everyone, long time no see."
