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

Chapter 745: Chapter 290: Drug Development, Firebird_6

"Ah?" Xiaoya looked at Tu Long in shock.

Tu Long glanced at her and smiled, "There’s a psycho guy in Yangshan. With him there, the people from the Firebird won’t stand a chance."

"What kind of ending?" Xiaoya asked instinctively.

"Hehe... death would be a mercy!"

He recalled Liang Yuan’s face, remembering the battle at Gouwu Pavilion.

He still couldn’t forget the terrifying strength of that man.

Whether it was speed, power, defense, recovery, or spiritual power, he had never seen such a dreadful opponent.

The people on the Firebird were formidable, but he didn’t think they could pose any threat to Liang Yuan.

Xiaoya was also intrigued after hearing this, her eyes showing a hint of curiosity.

She was curious about the person Brother Tu described.

"Wooo—"

Suddenly, a low whistle sounded from afar.

Upon hearing this, Xiaoya and Tu Long’s faces changed dramatically.

Tu Long hurriedly said, "Not good, they’re here, quick, let’s go."

Xiaoya quickly activated her superpower, controlling the water to push the wooden board.

Splash!

The two quickly broke through the waves, moving swiftly.

Soon, a cluster of buildings submerged in water appeared ahead.

Seeing this, Xiaoya was overjoyed and quickly said, "Let’s go inside. The Firebird is too big to enter the area."

Tu Long replied, "Alright, let’s hide in those buildings first. Once I’m healed, they won’t be able to stop me."

"Yes, yes."

The two quickly paddled the board towards the buildings.

As they rapidly approached the buildings, a huge cargo ship broke through the wind and waves, moving slowly from a distance.

It resembled a giant steel beast, rusted but still appearing fierce and terrifying.

The sharp bow, like an axe, cleaved through the waves, pushing towards the buildings.

A wooden lookout tower was built on the deck of the bow.

Inside the tower, a young man in a red T-shirt held binoculars, scanning the flooded area.

Next to him stood several other superpower users.

One of them, although not tall, had a calm demeanor and an ethereal presence.

From the positions of the people around him, it seemed his status was high.

He spoke, "Brother Huo, did those two go into that building cluster?"

The young man in the red T-shirt lowered the binoculars, revealing a cold smile, "Looks like we have two cunning little mice who know our ship can’t enter the area."

"Qinghua, get your men to follow Feng Lei and search those buildings one by one."

"Also, prepare yourself. There might be some resources inside those buildings, and we’ll need you to store them."

Li Qinghua nodded slightly, "Leave the resource storage to me."

Then he turned to a man beside him and said, "Old Zhou, take some men and go with Feng Lei."

Old Zhou glanced at the young man called Feng Lei behind Brother Huo.

The young man grinned at him, "Brother Zhou, I’ll need your help later."

Zhou Qingming’s eyes flashed with a hint of disgust, but he just nodded, turned around, and started calling for people.

Feng Lei didn’t mind, chuckled, and also started preparing his men.

Brother Huo watched all this without paying much attention.

He fiddled with a fiery red superpower stone in his hand, a gleam in his eye, then turned to a young man beside him and said, "Feiyu, any news about those survivors on Meishan you mentioned last time?"

Feng Feiyu quickly replied, "Brother Huo, my homing pigeon has returned. The people there said Meishan is rich in resources with plenty of crops and a lot of edible vegetables."

"From their description, it seems like an ideal place to establish a shelter."

Brother Huo nodded, "Good, then our next stop is Meishan."

"What do you think, Qinghua?" Brother Huo looked at Li Qinghua.

Li Qinghua smiled, "I’ve said before, we can’t float on water forever."

"This cargo ship is great, but we’re running out of fuel. Once we run out, the ship will be at the mercy of the currents."

"Only high ground and land can provide us with a stable base."

"By occupying a piece of high ground, we can cultivate the land and grow our food, achieving self-sufficiency without needing to scavenge for food."

"What’s crucial is the Fire Stone in your hand. It’s very important."

"It can even replace fuel as a power source."

"If Feiyu’s intel is correct and there are plenty of Fire Stones on Meishan, we must secure that place."

Brother Huo laughed, "Well said."

"This ship is too old. It will rust and rot eventually. We should find land as soon as possible."

"Brother Huo, you’re wise."

"Brother Huo has great foresight, securing this cargo ship early on."

"Damn, Linjiang University had several cargo ships. If it weren’t for those bastards, we could’ve taken the newest one."

"Speaking of those women on the Queen, it really makes one envious."

"Damn, if I ever get on the Queen, I’ll have my way with those bitches."

...

Everyone nodded, flattering Brother Huo while cursing their rivals from the Linjiang University.

Upon hearing ’Queen,’ Brother Huo’s face darkened slightly, and he subconsciously looked at a scar across the back of his hand.

He recalled the woman named Leng Yuehua.

This scar was left by her.

His eyes were filled with deep hatred.

Since awakening his superpower, he had only suffered significant losses twice.

Once, he was ambushed by a neighbor who not only had incredible strength and spiritual power but could also sprout bat wings from his back, enabling short-distance glides.

That incident made him realize that even hiding in buildings wasn’t safe.

Later, he saw that person leading a group away from Meidu Garden on a raft.

Witnessing that departure, he resolved not to be trapped in a building.

Soon after, the women next door also made rafts and left the area.

This time, he resolutely followed them and eventually reached the vicinity of Linjiang University, where he found these large ships.

At that time, two of the ships were already occupied by students and teachers.

Their arrival sparked immediate conflict.

During the chaos, the women seized a relatively new ship.

His men captured a rusted, battered ship.

The very ship they were on now: the Firebird.
