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

Chapter 694: Chapter 281: The Past of Meishan Village_3

"Bro, I... my mom..."

Liang Yuan reached out to hug her, gently comforting, "Don’t cry, Sister Mei. I’ll take you to find your father in a bit."

Thinking of her father, Yang Mei immediately sat up and exclaimed excitedly, "Yes, my dad is still alive. I must find him quickly."

Worried about any further mishaps with her father, it was best to locate him quickly.

Liang Yuan nodded and said, "Alright, let’s go to Jieshi Academy now."

Yang Mei quickly got up, put on her shoes, and followed Liang Yuan out of the room.

The corpses in the temple hall had already been removed, and the severed limbs cleaned up, but the bloody smell still lingered in the air.

Old Yang and another elderly man stood in the hall, seemingly waiting for Liang Yuan.

Seeing Liang Yuan and Yang Mei come out, Old Yang quickly brought the other old man over.

Old Yang said, "Mr. Liang, this is Old Gao, Gao Changlin, one of the survivors who knows quite a lot about what happened in Meishan."

Liang Yuan looked at Gao Changlin and asked, "Do you know Jieshi Academy?"

Gao Changlin quickly replied, "I know, I know."

"Please take us there and tell me what happened in Meishan during the flood."

"Alright, I’ll lead the way, we can talk as we go."

Gao Changlin immediately led Liang Yuan and the others out of the temple gate.

Outside, a group of people gathered at the entrance, looking at Liang Yuan and the others with hopeful eyes.

Liang Yuan glanced at them, without saying much, just stated, "Stay here for now, I will make arrangements later."

The crowd immediately showed joy, this superpower user did not plan to abandon them.

Gao Changlin said excitedly, "Thank you, Mr. Liang. We are all ordinary people, without a strong superpower user, we fear we might not survive a single night."

Liang Yuan responded with a hum, "Lead the way."

"Alright."

He immediately led Liang Yuan, walking out of the temple square, heading outside.

On the walkway, he began to talk about what happened in Meishan after the flood.

"At first, everyone thought it was just an ordinary rainy season, the heavy rain wouldn’t stop."

"Initially, everyone was quite happy because the summer had been dry for so long, the seedlings in the fields needed our manual watering."

"Later, after more than ten days of rain, people started to realize something was wrong."

"But we’re at the foot of the mountain, it hasn’t flooded in many years, nobody thought it could happen."

"Everyone was more worried about the crops being flooded and affecting the yield."

"However, the rain continued for a month!"

"The pond at the entrance flooded, many fish escaped. Some greedy ones went out to catch fish, some ended up being swept away."

"We started to report to the police, but the station couldn’t get through, it was then people started to get anxious."

"Then the flood came, the water level began to rise, eventually flooding our entrance."

"With water everywhere at home, we could only move upstairs."

"At that time, no one thought of escaping to the mountains, everyone assumed the storm would soon stop."

"However, the heavy rain didn’t stop, it even started to flood the second floor."

"This time, real panic set in, each family began to contact the outside world."

"But then the power went out, mobile signals were lost."

"All this happened at the beginning of the second month."

"Some clever ones had already thought of escaping to the mountains."

"I saw someone using a wooden barrel, swimming towards the mountain in the flood."

"Someone dismantled bed boards, made rafts, and paddled towards the mountain."

"We followed suit, imitating them."

"Our group was among the earliest to reach the mountain."

"At that time, Li Changhe took the lead, we temporarily stayed at Yunquan Temple."

"Later we helped others to the mountain as well. Gradually, many villagers escaped."

"Li Kuirong and his family were saved by us, but unexpectedly, those beasts later..."

Gao Changlin exposed painful memories.

The development of events lacked novelty.

After being rescued to the mountain, Li Kuirong, being a village official, quickly took command, arranged manpower under the guise of flood control, but actually began hoarding resources, reassigning them.

During this process, many were dissatisfied, causing various emotional conflicts.

Li Kuirong and his four brothers, along with a few village officials, formed a cohesive group, firmly controlling the dominant position.

Then, the mutated awakening incident occurred.

A man named Li Changhe was the first to awaken superpowers.

He took charge, broke ties with Li Kuirong.

Then, a group followed Li Changhe, moving to Jieshi Academy.

Jieshi Academy was occupied by them at that time.

Li Kuirong didn’t dare to confront superpower user Li Changhe directly, he could only swallow his pride as Li Changhe took a group away.

Gradually, as time passed, food and water became scarcer, conflicts arose frequently, fighting over food.

During this period, someone found mutated fruit on the mountain, awakening superpowers.

Among the five Li Kuirong brothers, Li Kuirong was the first to awaken superpowers.

He used his abilities to quickly gather followers, gaining the nerve to confront Li Changhe.

But the guy was cunning, he didn’t directly confront Li Changhe, instead utilized village ties, organizing a banquet supposedly for apology and reconciliation, to jointly tackle the flood.

Li Changhe didn’t think too much, agreed to the reconciliation banquet, went to Yunquan Temple, and never returned.

After that, Li Kuirong completely revealed his beastly nature.

Started forcibly seizing women, killing for food, committing all kinds of atrocities.

At that time, Li Changhe’s son, Li Xiangyang returned from outside, surprisingly arriving at Meishan.

With someone kindly warning Li Xiangyang beforehand, he narrowly escaped death.

This Li Xiangyang was quite a character. Not only did he escape, but he also incited a group of superpower users who had grudges against Li Kuirong, moving to Jieshi Academy.

Then, the organization led by Li Xiangyang settled down in Jieshi Academy.

The two groups continued small skirmishes, yet hindered by rampant mutant beasts and the monthly sea tide crisis.

For a while, they couldn’t afford to bother with mutual grudges, each huddled in their own territories.

Liang Yuan, after hearing all this, felt little emotion.

In the face of the great flood crisis, threats to humanity not only came from mutant beasts but also from fellow humans.

He wasn’t surprised by the filth in Meishan.

Even Yangshan could create four shelters.

Meishan, which wasn’t as big as Yangshan, turned into a mess within one village, was no surprise.

Don’t assume a village could unite wholeheartedly, as long as there are people, there are conflicts.

Some people always center their wants, while satisfying their desires, intending to bully others.

Human nature is fundamentally evil, selfish and self-interested, that is the essence.
