Chapter 878: Chapter 322: Joining the Firebird (Part 3)
There were also some buildings that survived the catastrophe, leaving only a handful of people alive.
In short, there weren’t many people. Liang Yuan said to Ding Yan beside him, "Let them lower the rope ladder."
Ding Yan nodded, signaling to the people around her to set up the rope ladder and pull people up.
She remarked, "Why are there so few people?"
Liang Yuan shook his head, "There must be other survivors in Sunshine New City, but few are genuine. These people at least have a bottom line."
"At the very least, they’re still considered human. Some people can no longer be considered human."
Ding Yan remained silent, also feeling the horror and despair of humans persecuting each other in the apocalypse.
After staying in Yangshan for a few months, she almost overlooked the difficult times she survived in the building initially.
Once everyone was taken onto the freighter, Liang Yuan instructed people to also retrieve the rafts.
There were no surplus small vehicles on their ship.
When encountering narrow and crowded places like residential buildings, the freighter couldn’t enter at all.
At that time, they had to rely entirely on smaller-sized transports like the rafts.
Once everything was settled, Liang Yuan said, "Let Zhu Yuchuan set sail."
Ding Yan nodded, letting someone notify Zhu Yuchuan, and asked, "Where are we headed next?"
"To Meidu Garden."
Liang Yuan thought for a moment and decided to go to Meidu Garden.
He still remembered the woman who could "solidify" objects; she seemed to be called Sister Ya.
They were all women in that group, and their superpowers were very unique.
Liang Yuan thought if he could recruit these people, he might strengthen Yangshan’s foundation.
Of course, he also wanted to see to what extent the woman who could emit lasers had evolved.
Hearing the words "Meidu Garden," Yang Mei’s expression changed slightly.
To her, it was the place where the nightmare began.
It was also where her fate changed.
"It’s time to go back and have a look. Back then, you left a Mutated Sunflower there. I wonder if the group of people who chose to stay survived."
Liang Yuan shook his head slightly, "Hard to say. At that time, those who chose to come with us were bold and insightful. Among those who stayed, they were either elderly or timid and cowardly."
Ding Yan also couldn’t help but sigh. Indeed, among that group, few could take on significant responsibilities.
"However, leaving the Mutated Sunflowers and plant house back then was meant to give them a memory, hoping they could fend for themselves."
"If they managed it well, they could barely be self-sufficient."
Ding Yan nodded slightly as the whistle sounded, and the freighter slowly moved toward Meidu Garden.
During this time, Yan Congjun, Qi Delong, Li Xiaojun, and other leaders, after settling their companions, were brought over by Tu Long.
A few people stood in front of Liang Yuan with somewhat reserved expressions.
It wasn’t until they were onboard that they realized how deep the foundation of this freighter was.
On the ship, there were more than thirty or forty superpower users.
Among them, more than half had powerful auras.
Yan Congjun and Qi Delong felt that in this group, their strength could only rank in the middle to lower levels.
This both shocked them and made them increasingly believe that Mr. Liang indeed hadn’t lied to them.
With such a powerful team, if they wanted to deal with them, why bother with so much trouble?
"Welcome to the Firebird, everyone."
Liang Yuan smiled and said, "This is our first freighter from Yangshan Shelter, but it definitely won’t be the last."
"We are building a port in Yangshan, and there will be more and more ships docking. On behalf of Yangshan Shelter, I welcome all of you to join us."
"Ding Yan, remember to send everyone some of Yangshan Shelter’s regulations to review later."
Ding Yan nodded with a smile and looked at the group, introducing herself, "Hello everyone, I’m Ding Yan, the captain of the first patrol team of Yangshan Shelter."
Yan Congjun and the others quickly introduced themselves.
"Hello, hello, I’m Yan Congjun."
"Hello, Captain Ding, I’m Li Xiaojun."
...
After a round of introductions, Liang Yuan learned that apart from Yan Congjun, Qi Delong, and Li Xiaojun, the leaders of the other two rafts were called Ren Jie and Yu Feng.
Among them, Yan Congjun, Qi Delong, and Yu Feng were all veterans.
Li Xiaojun was a university student who had just passed the graduate school entrance examination.
Ren Jie was a fitter at the Red Star Steel Factory in Linjiang City.
Counting, they all had skills to their names. The battle abilities of veterans Yan Congjun, Qi Delong, and Yu Feng were beyond doubt.
As a fitter, Ren Jie had quite a few tools at home. At the beginning of the flood, he tinkered with some weapons to protect himself and gradually accumulated an advantage, becoming the building’s leader.
Li Xiaojun, however, seemed rather ordinary in this group—a student who hadn’t left the ivory tower but could lead the people in the building to survive until now, which was truly remarkable.
Looking at everyone, Liang Yuan asked, "Everyone, tell me about your situation. What superpowers do you have?"
"Here, we don’t support idlers. We need to arrange work based on your abilities."
Upon hearing this, instead of getting angry, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
They feared the prospect of receiving unconditional kindness without reciprocity.
Instead, Liang Yuan’s straightforward statement about not supporting idlers put their minds at ease.
