Chapter 1224: Chapter 561: Li Qinghua Arrives
"Damn, damn, damn, fuck those Yangshan bastards. I swear I won’t be a human if I don’t avenge this!"
In the military camp, Ge Liangen cursed openly.
He limped, using his spiritual telekinesis to try and suppress the terrifying cold inside him.
But no matter how strong his telekinesis was, he couldn’t expel the cold.
For a moment, his hatred for Zhao Kai deepened.
Zhang Dazhi said solemnly, "Stop talking, your situation isn’t good right now. Go back quickly and find someone with a fire attribute. See if they can figure out a way to expel the cold."
"Also, we need to report the situation on the Yangshan side to Guangfu as soon as possible."
"Are we really retreating?" Ge Liangen asked with a frown.
"What else can we do? The other side clearly wants to drive us away."
Ge Liangen said, "But we were ordered from above to take root here."
"We’re just going back quietly like this, we’re bound to be reprimanded."
Zhang Dazhi’s eyes flickered, "We have to leave, but we didn’t say when."
"I’ve already sent someone to Guangfu. Even if they’re in a hurry, it’ll take two or three hours to get news."
"Let’s dawdle for a bit and wait for specific orders from Guangfu before making a decision."
Hearing this, Ge Liangen couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, "That’s a good idea."
Guangfu is just a district away from the New District, fifty or sixty kilometers apart.
Even though the roads are blocked by snow now, it’s nothing difficult for superpower users.
All it takes is a superpower user with agility to travel at full speed, and two or three hours are certainly enough for a round trip.
As time passed, it was soon noon.
Zhang Dazhi and Ge Liangen waited and waited, but lunch never arrived.
Zhang Dazhi couldn’t help but ask the soldier outside the tent, "Xiaoli, where’s today’s lunch? Why hasn’t it been delivered yet?"
The soldier named Xiaoli quickly peeked in, "Captain, no one’s coming from Yangshan to deliver food, and our people can’t go over there easily now. The guys outside are starving, a lot of them have gone downhill to dig ice and catch fish."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Dazhi and Ge Liangen’s expressions changed slightly.
They just realized that on the Yangshan side, it was always the Yangshan people who handled the logistics.
Now that things have gone south between the two sides, the Yangshan people have directly cut off the food supply.
"Damn it, those Yangshan bastards are really heartless!" Ge Liangen cursed.
Zhang Dazhi’s eyes flashed, "They’re trying to force us to leave."
He asked, "Do we have any food reserves?"
"The warriors carry some tactical rations, but since we haven’t been on long-distance missions, the tactical rations are limited and probably not enough to distribute."
Zhang Dazhi took a deep breath, his eyes twinkling, "Try to catch some game on the mountain?"
"Captain, we can’t go up to any of the three mountains now. The Yangshan people have replaced our men everywhere and won’t let us into the mountains."
As the two were talking, an urgent report suddenly came from outside.
"Captain, Captain! News from Leader Shan Zhijie’s side, the two private mines we set up have been seized by Yangshan people, and the superpower stones we’ve dug over the past half month have been forcibly taken away by them."
"Additionally, they also demand we immediately return the superpower stones we secretly mined last month, or they’ll detain Leader Shan Zhijie and the others."
"What!"
Zhang Dazhi’s face suddenly turned grim, and he stood up abruptly.
Ge Liangen’s expression changed alongside, swearing, "Damn, how dare they!"
Zhang Dazhi frowned deeply, increasingly sensing how tough the Yangshan people’s stance was.
The key issue is, the batch of superpower stones from last month was already damn well shipped to Guangfu, how could they be returned to the Yangshan people?
"Hmph, let them show off for a while longer, I’ll see how tough they can still be once people come from Guangfu!"
Zhang Dazhi sneered, and Ge Liangen, hearing this, also laughed, "I wonder who Guangfu will send this time."
"Will it be Commander Ding himself?"
"Hard to say, Commander Ding just had a major loss of personnel in a Floating Island mission recently, he probably wouldn’t be too willing to come."
"Then would it be Commander Dong?"
"It’s possible. I’ve heard Commander Dong broke through 90 points in his main attribute last month, so he’s likely broken through by now and would definitely be able to hold the fort."
"Even that Li Qinghua has to be polite when facing Commander Dong."
"Haha, remember a month ago when Commander Dong came to Yangshan, didn’t that Li Qinghua come out to greet him respectfully?"
"Hmph, I hope this time Commander Dong comes to see what Yangshan, once as docile as a lapdog, has become now."
"Commander Dong should really take action and wipe out these sons of bitches!"
As they talked back and forth, their words were full of disdain for the Yangshan people.
They completely forgot that they were the outsiders.
Yangshan had initially paid a huge price to invite them, but clearly, now they viewed Yangshan as their own territory.
Therefore, whenever Yangshan would not comply with them, they would get furious and resentful.
Meanwhile, on the Yangshan side.
Liang Yuan personally inspected the current changes in Yangshan.
He found that Yangshan had completely entered a state of militarized management.
The only departments still in Yangshan were the command center, the naval fleet, the mining team, the agricultural department, the medical department, the comprehensive department, the inspection department, and other key departments.
As for various factories, breeding departments, and aquatic departments, although personnel remained, the headquarters had already been moved to the Mirage Snake Space.
Liang Yuan asked, "How are things in the Mirage Snake Space?"
Zhao Kai said, "The conditions there are much better than in Yangshan. Since it’s an independent space, there’s no snow there, and the temperature is a bit higher than outside. Of course, it’s only slightly higher, as places that should freeze still freeze."
Liang Yuan raised an eyebrow and asked, "It hasn’t snowed, but it’s iced over?"
"Yes, according to Li Qinghua, even though the Mirage Snake Space is an independent space, it still exists in this world."
"And the cold temperature, although partially isolated by the spatial barrier, will still cause the temperature in the independent space to drop overall."
"The difference is just a temperature gap between the two sides, but it won’t be very large."
At this point, Ding Yan also smiled and said, "Li Qinghua gave me an example. He said this issue is like boiling an egg."
"Don’t underestimate the egg being wrapped by a shell. When the water outside reaches 100 degrees, the egg inside will still get cooked."
"The transfer of heat will not be completely isolated by the space. As long as the time is long enough, the heat will eventually be transferred over."
Liang Yuan nodded slightly, understanding this principle.
He laughed and said, "If it doesn’t snow and just ices over, it’s still okay. People living there should be used to it, right?"
"It’s definitely safer than outside. There’s no rain, no snow, and the artificial Sunshine District created by mutated sunflowers has greatly improved everyone’s living conditions."
"You’ll know when you go to the Mirage Snake Space later," Ding Yan said with a smile.
Liang Yuan shook his head slightly, "I can’t leave for the moment. The military should have gotten the news and might soon send people over from Guangfu."
Zhao Kai snorted coldly, "They definitely will. This group has coveted Yangshan for a long time and won’t give up easily."
Ding Yan hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Liang Yuan, do you feel confident? I heard there are many experts in the military, even several whose main attribute is over 90."
Liang Yuan smiled indifferently and said, "If the ones coming only have 90 points, I would be disappointed. I am looking forward to them giving me a bit of a surprise."
Zhao Kai and Ding Yan couldn’t help but show astonished expressions when hearing this.
Ding Yan couldn’t help but ask, "What’s your main attribute now?"
Zhao Kai also looked at Liang Yuan curiously.
Liang Yuan smiled and didn’t hide it, "100 points."
"Hiss!"
"What!"
Zhao Kai immediately took a sharp breath, and Ding Yan exclaimed in surprise.
"A hundred points? Brother Liang, you’re amazing," Zhao Kai exclaimed.
Ding Yan couldn’t help but ask, "What’s it like with a 100-point main attribute?"
Liang Yuan chuckled, "A hundred points is the second bottleneck on the path of evolution."
"After 100 points, it enters the middle tier of the genetic map. At this stage, we need to reorganize our genetic sequence based on the genetic map to evolve toward it."
"Meanwhile, this stage will gradually master the divine power represented by the genetic map of exotic beasts, and it might even manifest specifically in our bodies."
"Of course, this reorganization process is reversible. It’s not like once you become a genetic species monster, you can’t return."
"When you reach this level, you’ll understand."
Ding Yan and Zhao Kai listened with longing.
Imagine breaking through 100 points, stepping into the middle tier of the genetic map, and acquiring the exotic beast abilities represented by it—how powerful would that be?
"Brother Liang!"
As the three of them chatted, they suddenly heard a voice of joyful excitement from afar.
Liang Yuan turned his head and saw a giant black ape swiftly leaping and running among the mountains.
A girl stood on the shoulder of the giant ape, waving excitedly at him.
Beside the girl were several graceful women.
In front of the black ape, a green tunneling light flickered continuously in the void, rushing over rapidly.
Seeing this, Liang Yuan laughed.
"Yanyan, Sister Mei, Wenwen!"
His form flickered, and in the next moment, he suddenly appeared in front of the black ape.
The flickering tunneling light also stopped immediately, saying with excitement, "Mr. Liang!"
Without time to converse with the women, Liang Yuan looked towards Li Qinghua in front of him.
Li Qinghua, noticeably thinner with red streaks in his eyes, had clearly been under a lot of pressure over the past month.
Liang Yuan stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, "Thank you, Qinghua."
These simple words made Li Qinghua’s eyes redden. After taking a deep breath, he said, "Only now do I realize how much pressure you bear leading so many people at Yangshan alone."
Liang Yuan smiled, "Haven’t you all grown up now?"
"I’ve heard about everything you’ve done lately. You’ve done well."
Li Qinghua opened his mouth, speaking bitterly, "Inviting wolves into the door, I underestimated the military’s ambition."
Liang Yuan chuckled, "Using tigers to swallow wolves is a good strategy. As for their ambition, heh, now that I’m back, there’s no need to worry about it."
"You don’t need to worry about the coming events. I’ve got it covered."
Li Qinghua wanted to say something, but seeing that Liang Yuan had already turned his attention to Yang Mei and the others, he wisely closed his mouth.
"Mr. Liang, you all chat first. I’ll report to you later," Li Qinghua said with a smile.
Then he quickly landed on the ground.
Meanwhile, Zhao Kai went to meet Liu Feifei, who had also arrived with Yang Mei and the others.
This young couple, often separated, naturally had a lot to say to each other.
Liang Yuan landed on the shoulder of the Black Gold Giant Ape, looking at the women in front of him with reddened eyes, and gave a gentle smile.
"Sister Mei, Wenwen, Yanyan, I’m back."
The three women could no longer control their emotions and immediately threw themselves into his arms, sobbing softly.
