Chapter 754: Chapter 292: Yangshan Underwater, Lively Bar_3
The creature’s fur was still present, but its fluffy tail had become flat, and muscles resembling fan-like membranes had grown on its limbs.
Each time its tail swayed from side to side, it would dart a considerable distance.
The water flowed turbulently, with undercurrents churning. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared from Liang Yuan’s sight.
Liang Yuan squinted his eyes: "This underwater jungle seems to house more than just mutant fish. Some creatures that originally lived on land appear to have mutated as well, gradually adapting to underwater life and even evolving unique organs."
Liang Yuan, deep in thought, continued searching the underwater jungle for a bit.
He encountered a dozen of these underwater squirrels in total.
Apart from the squirrels, there were also creatures resembling wild boars.
However, without exception, their body structures had undergone great changes.
They could all live underwater now.
Liang Yuan suddenly realized something.
"As the global flood continues, if creatures can’t survive on land, they’ll likely have to adapt to underwater life and gradually become aquatic beings."
"What about humans? Will a group of people eventually evolve the ability to live underwater?"
"Just like me now, evolving gills and starting a new life underwater?"
Liang Yuan thought of this and suddenly recalled myths about Dragon Palaces and mermaids.
Were the creatures in these ancient myths really just fabrications?
Both Western and Eastern cultures seem to have records of a catastrophic flood in ancient times.
Is it possible that those mermaids, Dragon Palaces, and humanoid faeries were actually another group of humans that evolved?
As the floodwaters receded and the land re-emerged, these creatures gradually went extinct.
History is essentially a cycle of repeats.
If there was a great flood in ancient times like the one happening now...
Liang Yuan didn’t find it strange at all.
He swam up to a high point, gazing at the submerged entrance of the Yangshan Scenic Area, lost in thought.
After a while, he shook his head, dismissing these wild thoughts, and continued to clean the waters, swiftly earning points.
The four-kilometer stretch of water felt incredibly narrow to the current Liang Yuan.
In less than ten minutes, he could clear it seven or eight times.
Very soon, Liang Yuan had driven out all the mutant creatures in this stretch of water.
As he resurfaced, he noticed the sky had darkened, and evening was approaching.
With the united efforts of hundreds of patrol team members, the progress of the floating bridge had surpassed seventy percent.
Looking at the straight floating bridge, Liang Yuan couldn’t help but smile.
The ten-meter-wide floating bridge had duckweed tied to super alloy steel cables on both sides. The empty area in the middle was also filled with various sizes of duckweed.
Not sure whose idea it was, but they had specially found some sticks to tie the central duckweed, preventing it from being disrupted by the water’s currents.
Now, the space between the two steel cables was completely filled with duckweed, crowded and stable.
Liang Yuan emerged from the water, walked on it, and felt it.
With the buoyancy so strong, walking on the duckweed felt like walking on solid ground.
However, there was a slight wobble, and he could hear the sound of water lapping.
Still, there was not much water seeping up from beneath the duckweed.
Liang Yuan immediately laughed, extremely satisfied with the duckweed-made floating bridge.
"Brother Liang, how is it?"
Song Wen, sweating profusely but filled with joy, was nurturing a large patch of duckweed. Seeing Liang Yuan, she proudly asked.
Her beautiful face practically begged for praise.
Liang Yuan chuckled and took a towel from his inventory to gently wipe the rainwater off her face. He said, "Our great broadcaster really is impressive. I just walked on this floating bridge, and it’s even more solid and sturdy than a cement bridge."
Song Wen giggled. Taking advantage of no one noticing, she stood on tiptoe and kissed Liang Yuan, joyfully saying, "I feel like we can finish building this floating bridge by tonight."
"By then, people can start entering and exiting Meishan tomorrow."
Liang Yuan smiled, "There’s no rush. Let everyone go back and rest. We can continue tomorrow."
Song Wen laughed, "Everyone is really motivated right now, hoping to finish building this floating bridge in one go today."
Liang Yuan shook his head, "It’s getting late. It’s not very safe in the water at night. I plan to build some camps around here in the future. This floating bridge will need constant maintenance, and we’ll have to regularly clear out the water monsters."
"These projects are no small feat, and there’s no need to rush."
Song Wen nodded, "Got it. I’ll call Sister Ding Yan and Zhao Kai to tell everyone to stop for today."
With orders from the captains, everyone except two teams on duty left to rest, ready to continue early the next morning.
Liang Yuan brought Ding Yan and Song Wen home. Both women were exhausted from the day’s activities. After eating and showering, they went straight to sleep without even attending to their nightly duties.
Using their powers frequently today took a toll on both Song Wen and Ding Yan.
After washing up, Liang Yuan returned to the master bedroom with Yang Mei.
He wasn’t too tired, thanks to his remarkable 50 points of constitution and recovery power.
Tonight’s dinner was prepared by Dong Yan, as Yang Mei hadn’t returned yet. In the two days she was at Meishan, numerous issues had piled up at the supermarket base.
