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

Chapter 751: Chapter 291: Clearing the Restricted Area, Constructing a Pontoon Bridge_6

Among the discussions, everyone became increasingly admiring of Mr. Liang; many were already showing signs of blind worship.

Everyone dove into the water, beginning to collect duckweed and send it over to the cableway.

Several water ability users, led by Han Xiangman and Kong Sheng, quickly dove into the water to start fixing the duckweed onto the alloy steel cables.

Kong Sheng, once a member of Meihai Garden’s water ability users, performed excellently during a month-long construction and renovation work at Yangshan Shelter.

Now, he is a team leader under Wu Ying, leading several strength-type and speed-type superpower users.

The wound he received from Qin Xiaoyan’s wind blade had long healed; this scar constantly reminded him of the perverted behaviors of Li Yuefeng, Qu Mengju, and others from that past at Meihai Garden.

These memories keep reminding him of how good the current Yangshan Shelter is and how he should cherish the hard-won happiness he now enjoys.

As a water ability user, he finally had the chance to showcase his skills in this Water Marsh Restricted Area mission.

During the final work earlier, he performed exceptionally, and Wu Ying specifically called him out to assist Han Xiangman in constructing the floating bridge.

While the construction of the floating bridge was in full swing, Liang Yuan had already ventured deep underwater.

At a depth of over a dozen meters, the light had already dimmed.

Liang Yuan didn’t mind; his evolutionary superpower was activated, and he had evolved organs similar to fish gills behind his ears, allowing him to breathe underwater.

His vision also evolved, gradually adapting to the underwater environment, enabling him to see everything clearly around him.

In fact, he didn’t even need to use his eyes, as he could directly release spiritual power to perceive his surroundings.

Deep underwater, Liang Yuan’s gaze swept around, revealing a look of surprise.

This underwater area was hiding many mutant fish and crabs.

However, what truly shocked Liang Yuan was not the mutant fish and crabs, but the underwater environment!

On the mountain hidden beneath the floodwaters, the grass and trees that should have rotted did not die from the flood; instead, they thrived.

These shrubs and trees had clearly undergone new changes.

Their branches became soft, swaying gently like algae with the water flow.

Their leaves shrank significantly, while their roots grew exceptionally sturdy.

"Is it because the light decreased underwater, and they no longer rely on photosynthesis?"

"And their branches became soft to adapt to the water flow, shedding the force of the currents?"

Although Liang Yuan didn’t understand exactly how these plants evolved these abilities, he could generally guess the reasons for these changes.

He couldn’t help but be moved: "Indeed, not only humans are adapting and evolving in this world; all life forms are continually evolving and mutating."

However, the mutation of these trees made it easier for them to harbor filth.

Mutant fish, mutant crabs, and mutated sea shells were hidden among these mutant plants, making them hard to find with just the naked eye.

Fortunately, Liang Yuan possessed spiritual power and didn’t rely solely on vision for individual inspections.

"The mutant plants below the floating bridge must be cleared; otherwise, they would easily attract mutant creatures to hide here."

As Liang Yuan delved deeper, seeing the underwater forest teeming with water plants, he realized why the Water Marsh Restricted Area had so many mutant creatures.

These mutant creatures could rest on land and hunt deep within the underwater forest.

Isn’t this a perfect ecosystem?

He needed to clear out the underwater forest near the floating bridge, disrupting the local ecosystem to reduce the number of mutant beasts near the floating bridge.

After all, whether they are mutant beasts or not, they are naturally inclined to hide themselves.

If there were no underwater forest beneath the floating bridge, they would certainly migrate to areas with underwater forests.

Thus, the floating bridge area would become much safer.

Suppressing his thoughts, Liang Yuan decided to stick to the original plan: first conduct a wide-scale underwater sweep to earn a wave of points before clearing the underwater forest.

Only then would he clear the underwater forest.

"Wait, why clear the underwater forest? Just leave it, and I can come back every week for a wave of points!"

Liang Yuan’s eyes brightened as he felt he had deviated; building the floating bridge was primarily for facilitating travel between the two mountains.

But fundamentally, developing the shelter was about earning points.

This place was perfect for gaining points, so why destroy the environment?

Even if he were delayed and couldn’t come, the patrol team could farm these mutants and send them to the slaughterhouse to earn points for him.

Thinking of this, Liang Yuan let out a chuckle.

"As long as the density of mutant creatures in this water is maintained at a level that doesn’t threaten the floating bridge or those crossing it, it can serve as a sustainable farming area."

Understanding this, Liang Yuan stopped preparing to clear the underwater forest and focused on eliminating the mutant creatures within, rapidly earning points.

As he delved further, he killed more and more mutant fish, and the nearby mutant beasts seemed to realize a humanoid monster was present, fleeing to other waters.

Noticing this change, Liang Yuan felt a bit helpless.

These mutant creatures weren’t fools and wouldn’t stick around to be slaughtered.

Upon sensing danger, they quickly fled the area.

Although this water area seemed vast, after diving in it a couple of times, Liang Yuan found hardly any mutant creatures left.

Feeling helpless, he then delved into the underwater forest, hoping to find hidden mutant creatures within.

As he ventured into the underwater forest, he saw remnants of structures from the once-sunken Yangshan.
