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

Chapter 733: Chapter 288: Mr. Liang’s Status in Yangshan_6

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Now the Yangshan Shelter is burgeoning with various projects progressing. Every day brings new changes, and it’s bound to look different each day."

"Let’s go in and take a look."

He led the group towards the large gate at the base of the city wall.

The city gate wasn’t very large, with a five-meter wide entrance and stone gates made from whole pieces of rock on either side. Superpower users were stationed at the gate for security.

Seeing Liang Yuan, the guards quickly stood up and ran over to greet him.

"Mr. Liang is back!"

"Mr. Liang is back!"

Everyone at the gate put down their work and stood up to greet Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan smiled and nodded, "Thank you for your hard work, everyone."

Someone shouted, "It’s no trouble. Mr. Liang, you’re the one who has it hard!"

"If it weren’t for Mr. Liang, we don’t even know where we’d be struggling to survive now."

"Indeed, Mr. Liang. Yangshan Shelter is our home, watching over our own home isn’t hard at all."

Liang Yuan’s smile grew wider as he listened to their cheers.

Li Xiangyang was shaken to his core by the smiles on their faces and their words.

Home... A word both strange and familiar.

This group of people were supposed to be stray dogs displaced by the flood.

But here, in Yangshan Shelter, they had found a new home.

No wonder they wore those smiles, each of them looked so spirited and full of life.

Beyond the city wall lay a vast, flat slope.

Many houses stood in rows, orderly and uniform.

The weeds and trees that used to grow wild had long been removed, the ground filled and paved with stone slabs.

Even rain couldn’t splash much mud around, making everything look clean and tidy.

Li Xiangyang noticed another difference between this shelter and Jieshi Academy.

There were many women here, as well as many elderly and children.

They lived within the city walls, each with their own tasks to perform.

The elderly were busy sewing and cleaning, while the children helped chop wood and cut bamboo.

On the stone-paved roads, everyone who saw Liang Yuan would put down their work, smile, and greet him.

Once again, Li Xiangyang felt the high status Liang Yuan held here.

Compared to here, Jieshi Academy really was like a slum, shabby and unplanned.

The houses at Jieshi Academy were little more than wooden shacks built against the academy’s walls.

But here, some houses were carved into the mountainside, some were built from stone, and others were made of bamboo with wooden panels embedded within.

All in all, this place looked more like a village than Jieshi Academy.

Zhang Rongrong, Yang Wei, and Yang Youwei looked around, eyes full of envy and surprise.

Since the great flood, some people still couldn’t leave the buildings they were trapped in, stranded in floodwaters.

It was unexpected that someone had already established a village-like shelter on this mountain.

Zhang Rongrong couldn’t help but say, "So this is Yangshan Shelter? It’s really lively here."

Yang Wei added, "Everyone seems really happy, it’s genuinely different here."

Li Xiangyang took a deep breath, feeling that if he were a regular survivor, he would really want to integrate into this place.

Old Yang, hearing their comments, smiled and said, "This is just the outskirts of our Yangshan Shelter, the core area isn’t here."

"What? This isn’t the core area?" Li Xiangyang was shocked.

Zhang Rongrong also looked surprised, "Such a bustling place isn’t the core area?"

Old Yang laughed heartily, "The core area is behind the Fire Bamboo Forest, that’s where the commerce base is, the most prosperous area of Yangshan Shelter."

At this moment, Liang Yuan turned and smiled at Yang Mei, "Sister Mei, you and Uncle Lin take your dad around the vicinity."

Yang Mei nodded, knowing that Liang Yuan had a lot to handle after being away for two days.

"Go and do your work, I’ll take care of them," Yang Mei said gently.

Liang Yuan smiled, then said to Yang Youwei and the others, "Uncle Yang, Sister Mei will show you around. I need to handle some things first."

Yang Youwei quickly nodded, "Alright, alright, focus on your tasks, don’t worry about us."

Liang Yuan nodded, then headed towards the Bamboo House.

Yang Mei turned and smiled, "Dad, Xiangyang, Rongrong, Yang Wei, Uncle Lin and I will show you around."

Old Yang teased, "When you see the comprehensive cafeteria later, don’t drool, haha."

Li Xiangyang and the others exchanged glances, filled with curiosity.

...

Liang Yuan returned all the way to the top floor of the Bamboo House. The place was empty.

He wasn’t surprised, and first took a shower and changed his clothes.

He then heard footsteps outside, and as he stepped out of the bathroom, a figure pounced on him.

A waft of fragrance followed, and he heard Song Wen’s joyful laughter.

"Brother Liang! You’re finally back, I missed you so much."

Liang Yuan caught her, her long, slender legs wrapped around his waist.

Song Wen’s fragrant body pressed against his chest, bringing a smile to his face.

Liang Yuan couldn’t help but laugh, "How much did you miss me?"

Without hesitation, Song Wen replied, "I dreamed about you!"

"As soon as I heard you were back, I rushed home."

Liang Yuan laughed heartily, carrying her straight to the bedroom.

"Then I have to see how much you really missed me."

"Oh—"

Song Wen gasped shyly, and soon strange sounds echoed from the bedroom.

After a long time, Song Wen lay weakly on the bed.

Liang Yuan gently stroked her shoulder; it’s true that absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Song Wen was insatiable, twice or thrice was never enough.

Luckily, his constitution was strong, and eventually, he subdued the anchorwoman.

"Brother Liang, did you find Sister Mei’s family when you went to Meishan this time?"

Liang Yuan nodded slightly, "Yes, but there was an accident; her mother didn’t survive."

Song Wen’s face changed dramatically upon hearing this, and she quickly asked for details.

Liang Yuan briefly recounted what had happened in Meishan.

Song Wen became furious, her face flushed red, "Those beasts, how could they do such things? They were all from the same village; how could they be so heartless?"

Liang Yuan shook his head slightly, "In Meidu Garden, everyone lived in the same building and chatted in the owner’s group. It still ended in madness and mutual slaughter."

Song Wen’s eyes turned red, "Is Sister Mei alright?"

Liang Yuan shook his head, "She’s fine. Her father is still alive; she has something to hold onto, at least a surviving relative."

Song Wen sighed in relief but then teared up, "I wonder how my parents are doing."

She wasn’t a native of Linjiang City; her hometown was in Shandong Heze, far away. Finding her parents was near impossible.

Liang Yuan gently patted her back, "Shandong is much higher in elevation than here; it might be fine."

Song Wen’s eyes moistened as she nodded with acknowledgment, though they both knew there was no way to contact her parents.

Seeing her downcast mood, Liang Yuan changed the topic, "By the way, I gave you a lot of mutated sunflower seeds before I left. How are they?"

As expected, Song Wen’s attention shifted, her eyes brightened, "I wanted to tell you, those mutated sunflower seeds are much better than the ones you gave me before. They’ve all sprouted."

"Granny Li and I worked together to accelerate their growth; they’ve all bloomed and can now emit sunlight."

"We planted all the sunflowers around the plantation, creating a Sunshine District, as you suggested."
