Chapter 1396: Chapter 729: Return to the Military
“Brother Liang, I’ll go with you.”
Zhao Kai immediately said.
Li Qinghua also said, “I’ll go too. After all, that’s Cloud Mist Island, the military’s core place.”
Liang Yuan smiled, naturally understanding their concerns.
Cloud Mist Island, as the military’s core base, houses not only experts like Feng Jiangong and Zhang Yujiang at the gene recombination level.
There’s also a vast array of superpower weapons and equipment.
If Feng Jiangong and Zhang Yujiang harbor any malicious intent towards Liang Yuan, it would indeed be dangerous.
But Liang Yuan shook his head and refused, “No need, Feng Jiangong and Zhang Yujiang aren’t foolish. Turning against me now isn’t in their interest.”
“Of course, the key point is, even if they do, they can’t stir up much trouble.”
Liang Yuan wasn’t joking. His gene recombination progress had already surpassed 30%. In the entire Linjiang City, except for Ling Yurong who was now his servant, no one had a higher gene recombination progress than him.
Even if Ling Yurong’s gene recombination progress reached 40%, if they really fought, Ling Yurong couldn’t hold Liang Yuan back.
Simply because Liang Yuan now possessed nine genetic species, with no weaknesses in defense, speed, or spiritual power.
No matter how strong the enemy is, they are only strong in certain aspects.
While he is overwhelmingly strong in all aspects!
Li Qinghua couldn’t help but remind, “Mr. Liang, Feng Jiangong’s current state is somewhat strange, so don’t be careless.”
Zhao Kai also quickly added, “Yes, Feng Jiangong seems to have encountered issues in his gene recombination progress, showing signs of partial beastification.”
“Not only physically, but even his emotions seem uncontrollable.”
“I’m wondering if he could become a failed mutation after an evolution failure.”
Liang Yuan raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, “He failed his gene recombination?”
“Yes, you’ll see for yourself. The current Feng Jiangong is completely different from the one you met before.”
Liang Yuan had never seen someone fail a gene recombination attempt and was very curious.
He got up saying, “The military must be like ants on a hot pan, anxious and panicked. I’ll head over and take a look at the situation.”
Liang Yuan quickly left the Miyuan Rainforest, flying directly towards the military’s location at Cloud Mist Island.
As he flew over Cangqiong Mountain, he saw that many mountain tops had been bombed and collapsed.
There were collapsed mountain bodies and trees everywhere, with many mutant beast corpses lying in the snow.
Liang Yuan estimated the attack power of those ships, having a rough impression in his mind.
“It’s almost equal to Feng Jiangong’s atomic breath attack power.”
“But with Feng Jiangong’s past atomic breath power, it can no longer hurt me.”
Brush!
Liang Yuan flew over Cangqiong Mountain, quickly reaching Cloud Mist Island.
As soon as he approached the sky above Cloud Mist Island, it immediately triggered the island’s alarm sounds!
“Who is it! Stop immediately!”
Someone with a loudspeaker immediately shouted at Liang Yuan in the air.
Meanwhile, the energy shields above Cloud Mist Island instantly activated, with many of the military’s cannon barrels aiming at Liang Yuan.
Liang Yuan didn’t enter, watching the military’s array with interest.
After observing for a while, he couldn’t help but slightly shake his head.
“This array mainly consists of ordinary defensive shields, seemingly adopting a water attribute shield, formed by gathering water vapor, aligning with the island itself.”
“However, this type of array is more susceptible to attribute targeting, far inferior to my Yangshan Heaven-locking Cannon Array.”
After a brief comparison, Liang Yuan felt the opponent’s array wasn’t strong.
Not long after, a short-haired woman wearing a military uniform flew out from within Cloud Mist Island.
“Liang Yuan!”
The short-haired woman recognized Liang Yuan, immediately showing an expression of surprise.
Liang Yuan, seeing her, wasn’t in a good mood.
This woman was precisely Zhang Yujiang’s daughter, Zhang Wenjing.
Liang Yuan had a very poor impression of her.
Previously, facing him, her attitude was arrogant, always assuming the posture of a military high-ranking officer, viewing him merely as a civilian survivor leader.
Now, her attitude became enthusiastic, but Liang Yuan remained indifferent.
“Where’s Zhang Yujiang?”
Upon hearing Liang Yuan call her father’s name directly, Zhang Wenjing’s smile immediately waned, a flicker of anger flashing in her eyes.
But considering the military’s current situation, she suppressed her dissatisfaction, saying, “Liang Yuan, my father has always wanted to see you, but you seem to have quite the airs. We’ve invited you several times, yet you never come.”
Liang Yuan glanced at her, directly stating, “You call that inviting? If it’s an invitation, whether I come is up to whether I’m willing.”
“If I’m not willing and you still want me to come, then it’s not an invitation, but a command.”
“What, is Miss Zhang here to command me?”
Zhang Wenjing’s words halted, her voice turning cooler, saying, “Who would dare, Mr. Liang’s Yangshan Shelter has now become a famous giant shelter in several nearby cities, who dares to command you?”
“Oh, I thought some people can’t distinguish the situation and still act as if it’s before the apocalypse. I dislike people putting on bureaucratic capitalist airs in front of me. I hope Miss Zhang remembers that.”
Zhang Wenjing’s face turned red with anger, wanting very much to ask him, who he’s calling bureaucratic capitalism.
Liang Yuan ignored her, asking, “Won’t you have your people open the defense shield?”
Zhang Wenjing took a deep breath, suppressing her anger, turned around and shouted, “Open the defense shield.”
Following her lead, Liang Yuan entered Cloud Mist Island.
Inside Cloud Mist Island, there were numerous military weapons, mortars, tanks, helicopters, etc.
Originally a small airport now expanded significantly, hosting numerous spaceships.
Liang Yuan’s mind stirred, knowing those were military’s self-developed ships.
He wondered where the military obtained rune technology, able to withstand thundercloud attacks.
“Mr. Liang, all of these are our military secrets, and you’re the first outsider allowed to view our military base.”
Zhang Wenjing spoke up, observing Liang Yuan’s expression, hoping to see a hint of honor in his demeanor.
However, the only hint that appeared on Liang Yuan’s face was a trace of disdain.
“Miss Zhang, so the military secrets you mentioned are these pre-flood equipment?”
“If that’s the case, it’s really disappointing.”
“Not to mention these gunpowder weapons, some stronger superpower users can even withstand rockets.”
“Once there’s gene recombination and one transforms into a mutant beast, the destructive power of these gunpowder weapons might not even penetrate the scale armor of a mutant beast.”
“If you’re still treating these antiques as treasures, that’s just laughable.”
Zhang Wenjing was instantly furious upon hearing this, and immediately said, “Open your eyes and look, although these are old equipment, they’re loaded not with gunpowder, but with rune stones!”
“Rune stones of various powers, when fired by gunpowder weapons, also have tremendous destructive power.”
“The key thing is, gunpowder weapons aren’t interfered with by sealing runes. Humph, do you know how we destroyed Mengya Company’s spaceship?”
“It was relying on these antiques you mentioned!”
Upon hearing this, Liang Yuan raised his eyebrows.
So the military still retained these gunpowder weapons and even modified them further.
The launch devices for rockets still use gunpowder, but the warhead is no longer metal, it’s a talisman stone.
Once the sealing array is activated, other superpower weapons can’t operate within the array, but gunpowder weapons can propel rockets through it, remotely striking enemies outside the array.
This approach is quite clever.
Liang Yuan silently noted this idea, planning to discuss it with the weapon factory upon returning.
Others might find this method somewhat niche because the primary driving force of gunpowder weapons is gunpowder.
After the great flood, besides the military having a stockpile, where else can you find gunpowder?
But Liang Yuan obviously doesn’t need to worry about that; he has a system.
Extracting gunpowder materials isn’t too hard.
This method, used in the Yangshan Heaven-locking Cannon Array, would attract the enemy inside, activate the sealing array, rendering everyone unable to use superpowers, and then fire missiles or other gunpowder weapons.
Imagining that scene made Liang Yuan smile.
After leading the other party on for a bit, Zhang Wenjing suddenly realized she mentioned too much in front of an outsider like Liang Yuan.
However, her intention wasn’t to show off but to demonstrate the military’s strength.
This, in turn, could add leverage in her subsequent negotiations with Liang Yuan.
Exposing these things isn’t foolish, as they’re based on gunpowder weapons.
After the great flood, no other forces have gunpowder weapons except the military.
This is the military’s advantage; even if others know, they can’t replicate it.
Unbeknownst to her, someone can indeed replicate this method.
And that person is right in front of her.
Soon, the two entered the military’s conference room.
They saw Zhang Yujiang waiting inside the meeting room ahead of time.
As Liang Yuan walked in, he immediately stood up, smiling, and said, “Mr. Liang, welcome to our base.”
Liang Yuan said flatly, “It shows that you’re genuinely welcoming me this time.”
As he spoke, his gaze shifted to a seat nearby.
Sitting there was a half-human, half-beast man in a military uniform.
The man’s hair had all fallen out, leaving him bald. Although wearing a military cap, it was clear he had no hair. His skin had also developed scales similar to keratin layers.
His eyes resembled vertical pupils, his nose had collapsed, and his face appeared quite bizarre.
His hands resting on the table had also transformed into three beast-like claws with sharp talons!
Liang Yuan squinted and said, “Feng Jiangong?”
Feng Jiangong also looked at Liang Yuan intently, sensing the terrifying energy contained within Liang Yuan’s body.
That kind of superpower energy was actually above his!
This made Feng Jiangong’s expression change slightly, looking somewhat grim.
“Have you broken through again?”
Liang Yuan nodded, “Yes, I was lucky to break through, but it seems you’ve failed your attempt?”
Feng Jiangong remained silent, only asking, “What’s your current gene recombination progress?”
Liang Yuan thought for a moment and bluntly said, “30%.”
This declaration changed the expressions not only of Feng Jiangong but also of Zhang Yujiang and Zhang Wenjing!
Feng Jiangong took a deep breath and asked, “How did you achieve that? Don’t tell me it was just luck.”
“I’m also someone who’s stepped into the Genetic Reorganization Realm. I know how difficult genetic recombination is!”
“Every step requires precise sensing and control over genes; it can’t be as simple as luck!”
Liang Yuan shook his head and said, “This involves my core interests. Do you think I’d tell you?”
“We can trade something with you!”
This time, before Feng Jiangong spoke, Zhang Yujiang immediately and eagerly shouted.
Liang Yuan laughed, “What could you trade with me? Don’t mention those gunpowder weapons or the like. This is the era of superpower users; Rune Technology is the future.”
Zhang Yujiang immediately replied, “What if it’s Rune Technology? And it’s about knowledge of ancient Rune Technology?”
Liang Yuan instantly turned to Zhang Yujiang, his eyes gleaming with sharp interest.
He felt a slight stir in his heart, linking it to the spiritual split thought he sensed from the military and forming a guess.
As expected, the military had significant findings from the ancient tomb they discovered with the ancient corpse.
