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

Chapter 679: Chapter 276 Arriving at Meishan_3

Yang Mei hurriedly covered her nose and mouth, and quickly retreated.

Liang Yuan looked into the cellar and saw that it was pitch black inside, with some cage-like iron bars faintly visible.

He casually took out a flashlight from his items and shone it down, his expression changing instantly.

Indeed, there was a large iron cage below, filled with water but not very deep, only up to the ankles.

The entire cellar was estimated to be over three meters deep, and the walls were built with bricks. The large iron cage was closely attached to the wall, serving as a support structure, securing the entire underground space, and also acting as a dungeon.

For inside the iron cage, there were three swollen, maggot-ridden corpses!

Liang Yuan scanned with his spiritual power and quickly confirmed the genders of the corpses.

They were all women!

And these women, were all naked!

The bodies had been soaking in water for a long time, showing signs of gigantism.

Liang Yuan retreated, pulling Yang Mei to leave.

Old Yang couldn’t see clearly but faintly discerned the terrifying human shapes.

He immediately felt a bad premonition, didn’t dare to look further, hurriedly closed the wooden plank, and quickly ran out.

Once outside, he started vomiting frantically in the corner of the wall.

"Ughh... Ughh!"

Yang Mei, not having seen the situation inside, couldn’t help but ask, "What happened? What’s inside? Why is it so stinky?"

Liang Yuan replied, "There are some decayed corpses inside."

"How—" Yang Mei couldn’t help but exclaim.

Old Yang instantly started vomiting again.

Liang Yuan pulled Yang Mei away from the wooden house, saying, "Someone must have lived here after the flood. Not only did they live here, but they also imprisoned three women here."

"Seeing those women’s bodies without clothes, I guess..."

He shook his head, not saying more.

Yang Mei’s face instantly turned pale; she clearly understood what Liang Yuan meant.

At this moment, Old Yang finally calmed down and cursed, "Damn it, who could be so heartless to do such a thing, worse than beasts!"

The old man stomped his foot and cursed, his face turning pale as well.

Liang Yuan said, "Uncle Lin, it’s the apocalypse. Haven’t you encountered such things before?"

Old Yang sighed at his words, "We went up the mountain early. Although there were quarrels and fights in the building, no overly extreme things happened."

"Later, when we got to the mountain, it wasn’t entirely without food. We could fish by the river and hunt mutant beasts in the mountain, so we managed to fill our stomachs without doing anything too excessive."

Liang Yuan sighed upon hearing that, "You were lucky, then. If you had stayed in the building, you would have known just how terrible human nature can be."

Yang Mei also remembered the horrible things she saw in the building.

Old Yang angrily said, "Even if they had gone up to Meishan, Meishan has much better resources than Yangshan. Many people have land and crops on the mountain, they wouldn’t have gone hungry. How could they still hurt others?"

Liang Yuan shook his head slightly. Old Yang had too good of an opinion of people.

Some people, even with food and drinks, once they realize the apocalypse has arrived and no one can restrain them, evil thoughts naturally grow within them.

"Let’s go. That person might still be on the mountain, maybe even in the shelter on Meishan."

Old Yang and Yang Mei’s faces changed instantly.

Old Yang couldn’t help but say, "I wonder who the bastard is doing such a thing."

Liang Yuan shook his head slightly, "Let’s find the shelter first. I wonder how Sister Mei’s parents are."

Worry appeared in Yang Mei’s beautiful eyes, and she said, "I know where the path is, follow me."

She grabbed Liang Yuan and hurriedly went to find the path.

Old Yang quickly followed. The three of them climbed through the forest slope and soon saw a zigzag path halfway up the mountain.

This was a wooden path built with steel frames and pure wood railings, wide enough, about three to five meters.

Liang Yuan had come to Meishan to play before and recognized this pathway.

This was a walking path for tourists visiting Meishan.

Along the path, there were various Yang Mei trees.

Visitors could stop anytime to negotiate the price of picking Yang Mei with the tree owners.

Generally, it wasn’t cheap, mainly because you could eat as much as you wanted and take several kilograms when leaving.

During the non-Yang Mei season, this path was open for free to let tourists enter the mountain.

From June to July, during the Yang Mei season, the path was temporarily closed.

Only after the picking was mostly done would it reopen for tourists to experience picking Yang Mei.

Walking on the mountain path, climbing up, many Yang Mei trees could be seen, with steel pipes intertwined.

The steel pipes were not to prevent the trees from falling but to help farmers climb up and pick Yang Mei.

Liang Yuan noticed that many steel pipe structures of Yang Mei trees had been removed, not knowing where they were moved to.

Soon, Yang Mei suddenly said, "There’s smoke over there! Someone must be there."

Old Yang quickly looked over, but the dense trees and mist obstructed the view.

However, he instantly recognized the place: "That’s Yunquan Temple! It’s Yunquan Temple!"

Liang Yuan recalled seeing a temple when visiting Tree Mountain years ago.

But every time he followed the path route, he never reached there, so he had never visited Yunquan Temple.

Yang Mei hurriedly said, "Let’s go check. Yunquan Temple is big enough, with many rooms. The square is clean; maybe villagers are living there."

"Right, on Tree Mountain, places for living are Yunquan Temple and Jieshi Academy in the west. Smoke rising from there means someone is there." Old Yang said excitedly.

Liang Yuan said, "If that’s the case, let’s go check it out."

Liang Yuan was unfamiliar with the route, so Yang Mei and Old Yang led the way.

The three of them walked along the path and then took a small road, climbing the steps towards midway up the mountain.

Yang Mei explained, "This small path is known only to locals because it leads to various family orchards and is not open to outsiders; many outsiders don’t know the way."

"How do outsiders get to Yunquan Temple?" Liang Yuan asked.

"Through the main entrance, directly entering from Tree Mountain’s east gate. Without following the path, you can directly reach Yunquan Temple’s front entrance."

"Of course, the east gate isn’t commonly used. Buses are far from the east gate. Most people enter through the west gate, only able to walk the path, not reaching Yunquan Temple."

Liang Yuan understood, and the three continued walking while chatting.

Reaching a flat section, suddenly a few figures sprang from the woods.

"Stop!"

"Damn, who allowed you to leave Yunquan Temple?"

"Stay right there!"

The newcomers threatened, each holding weapons like hoes and sickles.

Observing their agile physiques and rapid movements, clearly, they had awakened superpowers.
