Chapter 1441: Chapter 774: Lu Dayou and Liang Minru
Divine Tree Island, southwest direction.
A group of ‘wild people’ dressed in clothes made of tree bark cautiously emerged from the forest.
The leader of the wild people looked up at the spaceships rapidly flying back to the island, a flicker of contemplation in his eyes.
At this moment, a female ‘wild person’ beside him whispered, “Why have Carey Technology Company’s people suddenly increased so much? Their spaceships have multiplied.”
“Could it be that they have discovered us?”
The female wild person was somewhat worried, a trace of fear evident on her face.
The leader of the wild people, a middle-aged man, shook his head slightly, saying, “Impossible. If they truly discovered us, they would have already entered the underground world to attack us.”
“The underground path of the bloodline is intricate; over the past month, they still haven’t found us, indicating that our base is still quite safe.”
“But what are we going to do next? Just keep hiding like this? They’ve even developed spaceships; do you think the outside world has returned to normal?”
“Could the flood have receded?” the woman couldn’t help but say.
The middle-aged wild man frowned, saying, “Liang Minru, do you think that’s possible? The Floating Island is still here; can the flood have disappeared?”
“Look down there, the thunderclouds are so thick, showing no signs of dissipating even now. Do you think the storm will stop?”
“Don’t be foolish. We were able to climb up along the divine tree; we were lucky not to be drowned, and now we must not reveal ourselves and be found by the other side.”
“Don’t forget, the heart core of Divine Tree Island is with me, and the brain core is with you!”
“The opposite side might be frantically searching for the two of us.”
“Once they find us, have you considered the consequences?”
Liang Minru’s expression changed slightly, and she couldn’t help but sigh, “Ah, when will this life end? I’ve had enough of living like this!”
She touched her face, once so beautiful and alluring.
Now, she lives like an underground rat every day, surviving on the path of the bloodline.
Before Carey Technology Company’s people invaded and claimed the divine tree, this group of people could still live happily in the forest.
Back then, although they also had to be wary of the extremely dangerous mutant beasts outside, compared to a world full of floods, this place was undoubtedly a paradise.
Not only were there various mutant plants and mutant fruits, but they were also completely self-sufficient.
But ever since Carey Technology Company’s people arrived, they’ve had no choice but to be forced underground, barely surviving amidst countless bloodline pathways.
This disparity made it hard for her to accept.
“If only little Wen were here,” Liang Minru sighed again softly.
The middle-aged wild man also fell silent, sighing, “Everyone has their destiny. She chose to leave, to find a way out, at least better than the rest of us staying here.”
“Perhaps we shouldn’t have been so attached to this false tranquility, and should have gone out with her to continue searching…”
Liang Minru looked at him, saying, “Are you thinking of your daughter again?”
The middle-aged wild man remained silent.
Liang Minru said, “As you said, everyone has their destiny. When life gets better, I’ll have another child for you.”
The middle-aged man sighed, saying, “In this situation, it’s hard for us to survive, let alone a child… let’s just forget it.”
Liang Minru also felt downhearted.
The middle-aged man stood up, saying, “Let’s go. This mission isn’t easy. On one hand, we need to probe into Carey Technology Company’s movements, and on the other, gather supplies.”
“Everyone, follow me.”
Behind the middle-aged man, a dozen or so people gradually followed, all dressed in wild attire with tree bark for clothing, leaves for skirts, and holding wooden weapons.
Yet their movements were agile, and their steps swift, clearly, they were people who had awakened their superpowers.
If Liang Yuan were here, perhaps he would recognize these two speaking people!
Liang Minru, Lu Dayou!
The two individuals who had experienced the ‘Turtle Island Sinking’ incident during the Giant Turtle Dive, have actually been alive all this time!
Not only are they alive, but they’re also appearing on the Divine Tree Island thousands of miles high in the sky!
It’s hard to imagine, these two ordinary superpower users, who didn’t even condense a genetic species back then, had just awakened their powers through mutated fruit.
How they managed to get through the endless thunderclouds and reach the Floating Island is a mystery!
Even more so, they managed to survive here for so long without being discovered by Carey Technology Company’s people!
Simply unbelievable!
Shush! Shush! Shush!
The group moved swiftly, darting through the mountains and forests.
They seemed extremely familiar with this mountainous forest; they must have lived here for a long time.
Soon, the group reached a spot near a mountain cliff.
Lu Dayou whispered, “Let’s start.”
Liang Minru immediately nodded, leading the group quickly to the mountain cliff, then started scraping some white crystalline substances off the mountain wall.
These crystalline substances were crystallized salt, an important resource for their livelihood.
For a long time, they relied on these crystallized salts from the mountain wall to maintain their salt intake.
Previously, since there weren’t any enemies on the island, they could easily obtain salt by coming here to gather once they were done.
However, ever since Carey Technology Company’s people invaded, they had to take the risk of being discovered every time they wanted to gather salt, doing it stealthily.
Each time they gathered, they tried to collect as much as possible, so one trip could last a long time without having to risk coming out frequently.
While Liang Minru gathered the crystallized salt with others, Lu Dayou reached out and grabbed a vine on the wall.
The vine immediately glowed with a green light, swiftly pulling him up, flying continuously towards the top of the cliff.
Before long, he stood atop the mountain, gazing towards the southeast direction.
A large area of trees was cleared and flattened, and a huge base was built.
That is the base Carey Technology Company established on Divine Tree Island!
Lu Dayou’s eyes showed a trace of hatred.
He still clearly remembers when Carey Technology Company landed on this island and carried out a large-scale search and hunting operation.
Although their main targets were the Mutant Beasts, many of their people suffered losses in this hunt.
Carey Technology’s people thus discovered their traces and tried every possible method to search for their group.
Feeling helpless, they could only move into the underground world of Divine Tree Island, using the complexity of the bloodline paths to avoid Carey Technology Company’s people.
Because he had a Heart Core and Liang Minru had a Brain Core of Divine Tree Island, both of them were familiar with the various bloodline paths inside Divine Tree Island.
This is how they survived the crisis, allowing them to contend with Carey Technology Company until now.
But this prolonged and shaky existence, who knows how much longer it will last.
Lu Dayou clearly felt that some people in their Shelter were already unable to hold on.
Seeing the strength of Carey Technology Company, with their advanced technological weapons and ships, many people in the Shelter couldn’t help but want to turn to them.
Because they didn’t know, after being trapped on this island for so long, what the outside world had become.
Have humans already overcome the flood?
Has everyone re-established order?
Are these people the new government?
Those ships, capable of passing through Thunderclouds, could it be a national intervention?
All these questions stirred feelings of restlessness inside everyone.
Many people couldn’t resist and wanted to make contact with the other side, wanting to… return to the human world!
But Lu Dayou was very clear that this so-called Carey Technology Company was not a national army, nor were they good people.
Their purpose here was simply because of the Floating Island.
They were searching everywhere for the Brain Core and Heart Core of the Floating Island.
They wanted to completely control this island.
He and the opposing side were in irreconcilable conflict!
But facing such a powerful enemy, with ships in the sky and armored vehicles on land, each one filled him with despair.
Lu Dayou felt lost inside, not knowing where hope lay.
“Had I known it would be like this, I might have listened to Wen Lili back then, to explore other Floating Islands. Perhaps we could have found other human survivors.”
He sighed, feeling a bit regretful inside.
But then he shook his head. Given their group’s situation back then, only Wen Lili had the ability to fly; the rest did not.
So it was destined that only she could cross the infinite sky and fly to other Floating Islands.
“Woo—woo—”
Just as Lu Dayou was deep in thought, he suddenly heard the base erupt with a sharp alarm.
The sound instantly jolted Lu Dayou awake.
He abruptly looked up towards the base.
Before he could see what was happening, he saw ships appearing in the sky, whistling as they hovered over Divine Tree Island.
At Carey Technology Company’s base, a gigantic protective shield instantly lit up, covering the entire base!
At the same time, ships inside the base quickly deployed, attacking the unidentified ships in the sky.
Boom, boom, boom…
The intense bombardment of light cannons continuously sent out all kinds of roaring sounds.
Liang Minru and others at the foot of the mountain displayed expressions of fear.
Liang Minru’s figure flickered, transforming into a stream of water, rapidly flying into the sky.
She quickly appeared at the mountain top, standing with Lu Dayou.
She looked up at the distant sky and urgently asked, “What happened?”
Lu Dayou looked solemn and said, “A ship entered Carey Technology Company’s airspace, and they launched a counterattack!”
“Carey Technology Company’s enemy?”
Liang Minru was startled, then overjoyed, saying, “Carey Technology Company actually has enemies too!”
The enemy of my enemy is my friend!
If they could contact them, there might be hope to escape this island!
Liang Minru and Lu Dayou exchanged glances, seeing the joy and hope in each other’s eyes.
Lu Dayou quickly said, “I’ll go take a look, you take everyone back first!”
Liang Minru suddenly remembered something, grabbed him, and said, “You can’t go dressed like this. Change clothes; we can’t approach them looking like savages!”
Lu Dayou immediately understood and said, “Okay, I’ll go change.”
Liang Minru quickly said, “We also need a decent identity excuse… let me think, let’s say we were forced slaves brought by Carey Technology Company to mine ores.”
Lu Dayou nodded, “That’s a good idea, hurry up.”
“Alright!”
A group of people quickly left, rushing back underground.
Not long after, Lu Dayou, in a worn-out T-shirt, emerged from the ground.
He took one look at the sky, then immediately headed towards the direction of the bombing sounds.
