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

Chapter 723: Chapter 287: Pressuring Li Xiangyang, Yearning for Yangshan_2

"I am here to once again thank you on behalf of everyone at Jieshi Academy for your assistance."

As he spoke, Li Xiangyang bowed deeply to Liang Yuan with great sincerity.

Liang Yuan gave him a glance; this guy had indeed put himself in his place.

In front of him, he didn’t dare play any tricks or have any improper thoughts anymore.

He immediately asked, "Li Kuirong is already dead, what do these people from the small Shelters have left to be afraid of? Just deal with it, why did you come to me?"

Li Xiangyang hurriedly said, "You may not know, Mr. Liang, but we interrogated them last night and discovered that these bastards were not just collaborating with Li Kuirong to go against our Jieshi Academy; they actually had another card up their sleeve."

"That horse-faced guy from yesterday, the one who wanted a quick and painless death, his name is Zhang Dong. He’s the leader of a small Shelter in the east, with a dozen or so men under him, only two or three of whom have Superpowers."

"I managed to extract a small piece of information from him. Their collaboration with Li Kuirong was a ruse; in reality, they had long been in contact with a ship called ’Firebird.’"

"They have been waiting for Li Kuirong and us at Jieshi Academy to fight. When both sides are exhausted, they plan to bring the people from the ’Firebird’ to Meishan."

"At that time, not only Yunquan Temple but even our Jieshi Academy will face a significant crisis."

Liang Yuan was quite surprised after hearing this.

"Firebird? What is that?"

Li Xiangyang quickly responded, "It’s a ship. According to our interrogations, this ship is unlike any ordinary boat; it’s at least the size of a freighter, able to withstand giant waves and fend off some powerful Mutant Beasts."

"As for the exact situation on that ship, even Zhang Dong is not sure. We thoroughly questioned him; he only had contact with the people on that ship through a single line of communication, so he doesn’t know much."

Upon hearing this, Liang Yuan asked, "He trusted these people from the so-called Firebird that easily?"

Li Xiangyang said, "He had no other choice. According to him, they had to face the threat from Li Kuirong. They either cooperated with Li Kuirong or would have been dealt with by him ahead of time."

"They could only place their hopes in this so-called ’Firebird’ group."

"For them, it was merely a helpless choice."

Liang Yuan understood; it fit the actual situation.

He pondered for a moment and said, "So you want me to help you deal with this so-called Firebird?"

Li Xiangyang lowered his head and said, "Yes, I know my limitations. If such a force exists that can navigate freely above the floodwaters, these people are definitely beyond my ability to handle. So, I want to ask for your help."

Liang Yuan looked at him. This time, Li Xiangyang spoke sincerely, without playing tricks or finding excuses.

Satisfied, he nodded and said, "Then tell me, why should I help you?"

Li Xiangyang was stunned, raising his head to look at Liang Yuan.

Seeing Liang Yuan’s piercing gaze, seeming to test him,

Li Xiangyang’s mind raced, figuring out what to do in an instant.

He lowered his head, his expression fluctuating, hesitating for a while before speaking, "If you can help us, I am willing to have everyone follow you as our leader and serve you."

He was smart enough to understand what Liang Yuan meant.

He knew but was still hesitant.

What if the so-called Firebird was just an insignificant freighter with no formidable characters on board?

What if they didn’t need Liang Yuan’s help and could handle the situation on their own?

In that case, wouldn’t they be giving away their lives in vain, handing over power?

But Li Xiangyang, who had survived until now, had a quick mind.

He suddenly realized that if Liang Yuan really wanted to control Meishan, they only had two choices.

Either comply with his leadership or be expelled from Meishan.

In reality, they had no choice at all; the answer had always been only one.

At this moment, regardless of whether there was a so-called ’Firebird’ threat, they could only submit to Liang Yuan.

So, in this brief moment of hesitation, he had already figured everything out.

His tone shifted from reluctance to firm determination.

"Mr. Liang, please take action. I am willing to lead everyone in Meishan to follow you as our leader."

Liang Yuan smiled, he patted Li Xiangyang’s shoulder, "You are much smarter than I thought."

Li Xiangyang’s heart pounded wildly. As expected, Mr. Liang had long had thoughts about Meishan.

Whether he bowed his head or not, the other party would take control of Meishan.

Thinking of the other party’s terrifying strength, he couldn’t help bending even lower.

Seeing this, Liang Yuan smiled lightly, "When do they make contact?"

"In the next couple of days," Li Xiangyang said quickly.

Liang Yuan nodded slightly, "Good, I understand. Today, I will return to Yangshan, and in the afternoon, I will come back with my people."

"In the meantime, I need you to do one thing."

"You say."

"Gather everyone in Meishan who is still alive and concentrate them at Yunquan Temple."

"I don’t care which Shelter they are from, they must all be present."

"In the afternoon, I will reorganize these people, and my people will take over everything in Meishan."

Li Xiangyang was shocked, couldn’t help but look up at Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan’s expression was indifferent, with no intention of negotiation.

He was giving orders, not discussing.
