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

Chapter 763: Chapter 293: Play Around if You Must, But Don’t Bring It Home_6

No large mutant creatures were seen.

Furthermore, their numbers are significantly less than yesterday. It seems that cleaning up daily is a bit too frequent.

These mutant beasts aren’t entirely without intelligence. After seeing their kind die frequently here, they eventually won’t dare to come anymore.

It’s just like some fish ponds; when anglers come often, the fish become smarter.

"Mr. Liang, this morning, a few people insisted on crossing the river to Meishan. We told them the floating bridge isn’t open for passage yet, but they just wouldn’t listen."

"We initially wanted to hold them back, but they said they were originally from Meishan and were here to return you and Supervisor Yang."

A patrol team member walked over to Liang Yuan and said.

Liang Yuan was surprised and immediately guessed it was Li Xiangyang and the others.

Did those three actually return early?

Liang Yuan smiled, saying, "Let them go. After all, the floating bridge will be open for passage today."

He had probably guessed the reason behind Li Xiangyang and the others’ urgency to return.

It might be because they heard the floating bridge was about to open, and once people from Yangshan go over to hunt and farm, those few who saw the abundant resources at Yangshan Shopping Center probably wanted to return early to get ahead with the people from Jieshi Academy, hoping to hunt some prey first, dig out some edible mutant crops, and exchange them for points.

Liang Yuan didn’t stop them. After all, those who reached Meishan first deserved some early rewards.

By the end of the morning, the floating bridge was finally fully constructed.

The entire floating bridge spans 4.2 kilometers, crossing between two mountains.

Green lily leaves covered the bridge surface, all fixed to super alloy steel cables.

The central part of the lily leaves was tied to wood to prevent being swept away by water flow.

"Mr. Liang, the floating bridge is complete. Captain Zhao and Captain Ding ask you to come and test the bridge’s surface." Monsoon ran over, his face full of excitement.

Liang Yuan smiled upon hearing this, saying, "Let’s go and test the load capacity of this floating bridge."

With his command, everyone followed Liang Yuan onto the floating bridge.

As Liang Yuan stepped onto the lily leaves, they slightly wobbled, but since there were lily leaves all around, the wobbling wasn’t significant, just nicely squeezed together.

Walking on the lily leaves, the slight wobbling gave a mildly dizzy feeling.

The gentle undulation didn’t interfere with walking.

Liang Yuan walked for a while, then tried running a few steps and jumping a few times.

The bigger the movements, the more intense the lily leaves’ undulation and wobbling.

But fortunately, the buoyancy of these lily leaves was strong enough and sufficiently sturdy to support his actions.

Liang Yuan couldn’t help but smile. This floating bridge was good enough for passage.

The only issue was that it was best not to fight on this bridge.

Intense fighting might damage the lily leaves and cause the bridge surface to collapse.

Overall, Liang Yuan thought the floating bridge had passed the test.

He walked all the way to the other side of the bridge, arriving in Meishan.

He saw Ding Yan and Zhao Kai commanding everyone, constructing a platform at the bridge’s end on the Meishan side.

Liang Yuan stepped onto the platform and said, "Well done, this bridge is entirely passable."

Ding Yan smiled and said, "The quality of these lily leaves exceeds expectations. Especially the older lily leaves—they not only have adequate buoyancy but also good hardness."

Zhao Kai said, "Brother Liang, we plan to build fortifications at both ends of the floating bridge to station patrol team members, preventing human sabotage or mutant beast damage to the bridge."

Liang Yuan nodded with a smile, "That certainly needs to be done. However, don’t build the fortifications too large—in case of rising floods, if the fortifications are small and get submerged, it won’t be too distressing."

Zhao Kai nodded, smiling, "I understand."

"Leave the fortifications’ construction to the subordinates. You and Ding Yan take another team with me to Yunquan Temple. In the future, Yunquan Temple can serve as our main base on Meishan."

"You might need to oversee Meishan later on," Liang Yuan said to Zhao Kai.

Zhao Kai was stunned for a moment, then looked at Liang Yuan solemnly and said, "Brother Liang, I... might not be able to handle it."

Liang Yuan patted his shoulder, "Don’t be afraid. I trust your combat abilities. You’ve been with me this long, it’s time to stand on your own."

"When the time comes, take as many people as you need from the patrol team."

"With you and Feifei, one with Frost Superpower and the other with the Spirit Maze, ordinary superpower users can’t beat you."

"Guarding Meishan shouldn’t be difficult. I’ll be in Yangshan, and you’ll be in Meishan—these two mountains will be our shelters."

"Later we’ll accept more survivors; things will get better and better."

Zhao Kai’s eyes showed a touch of emotion. He clearly understood how much trust Liang Yuan was placing in him by letting him control Meishan.

"Brother Liang, I won’t let you down."

Liang Yuan smiled and patted his shoulder, saying, "No need to be so solemn. Remember, if you encounter strong enemies in Meishan, retreat to Yangshan. Don’t risk your life—wait for me."

"I understand," Zhao Kai nodded quickly.

He then thought of something and said, "Brother Liang, if Yunquan Temple is to be developed into a shelter base, which direction should it develop later?"

"A military base or a residential base?"

Liang Yuan said, "A military base. Meishan is very suitable for planting and breeding, so later it’ll likely become Yangshan’s granary. Military presence is vital; you’ll need enough force here."

"But military and residential are interconnected. Once the patrol team expands, naturally people will start living here too, bringing families to settle down."

"I understand," Zhao Kai nodded, already having some ideas about the future development.

Liang Yuan only needed to give a general direction; he wouldn’t micromanage everything. He just needed to follow the progress.

Of course, Yangshan Shelter’s experienced workers would be prioritized to be assigned to Zhao Kai’s side.

Anyway, Yangshan Shelter didn’t need much expansion temporarily.

All in all, there would be more work to busy themselves again.

Liang Yuan looked at the heavy rain in the sky and felt the chill in the air, sighing softly.

"Hopefully, we can completely take Meishan and Yangshan before the cold wave arrives."
