Chapter 849: Chapter 312: The Death of Liu Mingyu, Black Market News
The beasts in this building are probably even worse than Li Kuirong and the others.
At this moment, he realized that no matter how difficult their lives were in Meishan, at least they had some ability to resist and some autonomy.
But these people trapped in the building are the truly miserable ones.
Not only were they deprived of freedom, but they were also subject to all kinds of humiliation, making life worse than death.
Zhang Rongrong couldn’t help but ask, "Mr. Liang, what about them now? Can they be saved?"
Liang Yuan thought for a moment, then said, "Let’s take them back to the ship first and hand them over to Meng Youyou."
"Meng Youyou?" Li Xiangyang and Zhang Rongrong were both taken aback, their minds flashing to the young girl from the logistics team.
They didn’t know Meng Youyou, but vaguely remembered that Meng Youyou was quite close to Han Xiangman.
Seeing their confusion, Liang Yuan explained, "Meng Youyou’s superpower is ’Spirit Song.’ She can release spiritual power by singing, thus healing spiritual trauma."
"These women have clearly suffered severe mental trauma, unable to break free from their self-imposed worlds, closing off their self-consciousness. Now we can only let Meng Youyou try."
Upon hearing this, Li Xiangyang and Zhang Rongrong immediately showed expressions of joy.
Zhang Rongrong quickly said, "I can’t believe there’s a superpower user like that on our ship! Great, I’ll send them to the ship right away."
Li Xiangyang also hurriedly added, "I’ll go help."
Liang Yuan nodded and said, "Go, tell Ding Yan about the situation here and have her arrange a few more boats to pick up people, nothing else to worry about."
"Understood, Mr. Liang."
Li Xiangyang and Zhang Rongrong quickly nodded.
They immediately took the women downstairs, along with the elderly people below.
Liang Yuan began to clear out the furniture and items from the room.
He quickly cleared out everything on the floor, even prying up the floorboards and pulling out the wires from the walls.
He was truly leaving nothing behind.
After tidying up, Liang Yuan turned and headed upstairs.
On reaching the next floor, he spotted several men’s corpses lying in the corridor.
Their hands and feet were broken, their faces filled with pain.
Liang Yuan stepped over the bodies and entered the rooms on this floor, discovering that many women were also imprisoned here.
However, these women were generally younger than the ones downstairs, and also more attractive.
Clearly, Liu Mingyu’s group had segregated these women by age and attractiveness.
The higher the floor, the younger and more attractive the women held captive.
Chang Yan stayed here, taking care of these women.
These women were in better condition than those downstairs.
At least they knew how to cry.
Chang Yan softly comforted them, explaining the situation outside.
She focused on one woman in her thirties.
Liang Yuan guessed that Chang Yan might know this woman, perhaps a neighbor of hers.
Upon seeing Liang Yuan enter, the women visibly showed fear and instinctively huddled together.
Seeing this, Chang Yan quickly said, "Don’t be afraid, Mr. Liang is the leader of our shelter. He’s not a bad person."
Then she looked at Liang Yuan and asked, "Mr. Liang, they were also bullied by those beasts."
Liang Yuan nodded slightly and said, "I’ve already had Li Xiangyang take the people downstairs to the Firebird. There’s a dedicated medical team over there to help."
"I’ve asked the Firebird to send more boats over, help them get aboard when they arrive."
Chang Yan, both surprised and delighted, quickly said, "Thank you, Mr. Liang."
Liang Yuan said, "Ask them if they have any clothes or belongings to pack, and do it quickly."
Chang Yan nodded repeatedly, "Okay, Mr. Liang."
Liang Yuan left the room and continued to head upstairs.
The building had 32 floors in total, and the flood had reached up to the twenty-something floors. Only about ten floors were left above water.
Liang Yuan quickly reached around the thirtieth floor; along the way, there were many corpses and signs of past battles.
Having overcome the initial discomfort of killing, Ma Ji, Ni Qi, and the others became ruthless and decisive.
With Tu Long, Wang Xiaoya, and others protecting from behind, they encountered almost no effective resistance.
Liang Yuan didn’t intervene; he was just here to gather supplies, as these people didn’t need his help.
As Liang Yuan was finishing up in a room, he heard hurried footsteps coming from upstairs.
Then he saw Ma Ji quickly appear in the stairwell.
Seeing Liang Yuan, he immediately shouted, "Mr. Liang, we’ve made a discovery!"
Liang Yuan’s eyebrows lifted at the news and he asked, "What discovery?"
"One of Liu Mingyu’s men said there’s a black market in the Sunshine New City District, specifically for these people to trade supplies and such," Ma Ji said urgently.
Liang Yuan was taken aback by this, as Sunshine New City wasn’t a small development; it had many buildings across multiple phases.
If tallied, there were at least over two hundred buildings.
Liang Yuan became very interested, as each building would inevitably spawn tyrants like Liu Mingyu. With unequal resources, these people would establish black markets for trading amongst themselves.
He wondered what was being traded in those markets.
And how much of Sunshine New City’s population was left.
Thinking of this, Liang Yuan immediately said, "Take me upstairs to see."
Ma Ji quickly led the way to the thirty-first floor.
