Chapter 884 - 326: Zhang Peng Returns to Meidu Garden
Chapter 884: Chapter 326: Zhang Peng Returns to Meidu Garden
"Bang bang bang!"
"Brother Peng! Brother Peng, something’s wrong, something’s wrong, Xu Lie Feng and Feng Lei are here again!"
Meidu Garden, Building 76, Room 3203.
Zhang Peng abruptly sat up and quickly went to the door.
He opened the door and saw An Minghui standing outside with a worried expression.
Zhang Peng’s face immediately turned slightly grim, and he asked, "Here again? Who’s guarding downstairs?"
"Gao Yucheng and Wen Xiao are guarding downstairs with the first and second patrol teams."
Zhang Peng immediately grabbed a hammer, tucked a dagger into his waist, and said in a deep voice, "Let’s go down and have a look. Inform the other teams, and keep an eye on the zip line between the rooftops of Building 75 and us."
An Minghui quickly nodded, "I’ve already informed them."
Zhang Peng asked in a deep voice, "How’s the situation at the plant room?"
"Wen Fang is there guarding with the third patrol team."
Zhang Peng felt somewhat relieved at this and said, "Right now, the most important thing for us in Building 76 is the plant room left to us by Mr. Liang. Being able to eat vegetables is all thanks to that plant room; it mustn’t be breached by them."
An Minghui nodded, "I understand, we all understand, Brother Peng, don’t worry. No one understands the importance of that mutated sunflower more than I do."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Peng smiled and said, "You’re a Light Attribute Superpower User; you understand that sunflower better than we do."
"Let’s go, let’s see what tricks Zhao is planning this time."
The two quickly ran downstairs.
After more than two months, the floodwaters had risen to the 25th floor.
The living space inside the building was becoming increasingly smaller.
In the entire Meidu Garden, Building 76 was considered the best-conditioned building.
Because not only does it have a plant room capable of growing a large number of vegetables.
But also, the presence of the mutated sunflower in that plant room provides abundant sunlight.
The residents of Building 76 used solar panels to develop a charging device capable of barely supplying electricity to some appliances.
After Liang Yuan left, the people inside the building scavenged some batteries from other buildings for survival.
They charged the batteries with solar panels, which then powered electric stoves, alleviating the lack of fuel for fire.
As Zhang Peng and An Minghui ran downstairs, An Minghui couldn’t help but ask,
"Brother Peng, do you really believe that Mr. Liang is in Li Yang Mountain?"
Zhang Peng paused slightly in his steps and then said without looking back, "He must be there!"
An Minghui hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother Peng, I don’t mean to discourage you, but we’re at least thirty kilometers away from Li Yang Mountain."
"Now, with the floodwaters, many buildings are submerged; we can’t even distinguish directions outside."
"Can he really find Li Yang Mountain?"
"Even if he reached Li Yang Mountain, other forces might have occupied it already."
Zhang Peng turned his head, his expression somber, and said coldly, "Minghui, what exactly do you want to say?"
An Minghui gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Peng, right now we don’t even have fuel to make a fire, yet we’re wasting so many planks to make rafts."
"Of course, I don’t mean we shouldn’t make rafts; we definitely should, but once the rafts are made, do we really have to go to Li Yang Mountain? I heard there’s a Vienna Hotel nearby, only four or five kilometers away, maybe we could relocate there..."
Zhang Peng immediately reprimanded, "Shut up!"
An Minghui fell silent immediately.
Zhang Peng’s face was dark as he said, "Minghui, you don’t know Mr. Liang. You people were brought back by me from outside; you don’t know him."
"Ask the surviving residents here. Who dares to defy Mr. Liang when his name is mentioned?"
"If he wants to go to Li Yang Mountain, he will definitely find it!"
"Even if there are people living there, even if it’s occupied, Mr. Liang will find a way to ascend the mountain and establish himself with those who left with him!"
"I watched him rise to power step by step; you don’t understand his strength at all!"
An Minghui frowned slightly, feeling a bit of regret inside.
Back then, they were forced to jump into the floodwaters, and it was Zhang Peng who saved them.
Since then, they followed Zhang Peng, searching for the so-called Li Yang Mountain.
However, amid the boundless floodwaters, without landmarks or directions, searching for the so-called Li Yang Mountain felt like looking for a needle in a haystack.
They wandered aimlessly for over a month, only to find themselves back at Zhang Peng’s former residential area, Meidu Garden.
It was then that their raft was smashed by a mutant fish monster.
Thus, they ended up at Building 76 of Meidu Garden.
Upon their return, they encountered internal strife among the survivors of Building 76.
The survivors fought over the ownership of the plant room inside the building.
Fortunately, there were no superpower users among them, just ordinary people engaged in a petty squabble, so the plant room was left intact.
Zhang Peng, once a patrol team leader of Building 76, had quite a bit of influence there.
His arrival immediately calmed the chaos, and he naturally became the leader of the group.
Zhang Peng quickly proved to be an effective leader, swiftly organizing the building’s affairs and forming five patrol teams.
Led by him, An Minghui, Wen Xiao, Wen Fang, and Gao Yucheng, respectively.
In just a week, order was restored in Building 76, and regular people began to survive by catching mutant fish.
Meanwhile, under Zhang Peng’s management, the plant room began to produce vegetables officially.
The group barely managed to have fish and vegetables to eat, sustaining life.
Even though they lacked carbohydrates, they managed to get by.
But about half a month ago, a group appeared in the building, starting to loot food and scavenge wood and other materials.
This group was led by someone named Xu Lie Feng, rumored to be from Building 88.
Once, Building 88 had a very powerful Fire Attribute Superpower User, known as Brother Huo.
I heard that when Brother Huo left, he took many superpower users and survivors with him.
I don’t know why he didn’t take this Xu Lie Feng with him.
Xu Lie Feng is a very powerful superpower user, with many superpower experts under his command.
He has already conquered several buildings and gathered a lot of resources.
Last week, he led people to attack Building 76, but was repelled by Zhang Peng and his team.
Then, three days ago, he attacked Building 75 with a group.
Building 75 didn’t have anyone strong guarding it, so it was quickly breached.
Zhang Peng immediately cut off the cableway connecting to Building 75.
However, because there were still strength-type superpower users in the opposing team, he was worried they might use the cableway to attack again.
That’s why he reminded An Minghui to pay attention to the cableway.
While talking, the two had already reached the twenty-third floor.
Wen Xiao and Gao Yucheng are both in their twenties.
Both are around 1.7 meters tall, with ordinary looks.
Among them, Gao Yucheng has a rugged face, with the thick brows and big eyes typical of a northern person.
Wen Xiao, on the other hand, looks somewhat delicate, with the typical looks of a southerner.
Zhang Peng looked at the building across in Building 75 and saw a raft crossing the water.
On the raft, there were four or five people standing.
The leader was a tall, bald man with burn scars on his face.
He is now the boss of Building 88, Xu Lie Feng!
Zhang Peng squinted his eyes, observing these people, his gaze flickering.
"How’s the situation?" he asked.
Wen Xiao quickly said, "They’ve already approached, and we’re planning to engage, but they just raised a white flag, not sure what it means."
Gao Yucheng said, "Looks like they want to talk, Brother Peng, should we engage?"
Zhang Peng shook his head, saying in a deep voice, "No rush, between Building 76 and Building 75, there’s an area occupied by mutated toads and mutated frogs, they may not be able to come over."
He had witnessed Liang Yuan taking Zhao Kai and Ding Yan to Building 75.
On the way, they were attacked by mutated frogs, whose attack power was surprising, with tongues as fast as bullets, hard to defend against.
Sure enough, just as his words fell, suddenly, there was a loud explosion as the surface of the water burst open.
A dark green figure leaped out from the depths.
The next moment, the figure opened its mouth and spat.
Immediately, a crimson shadow shot out fiercely.
Its target was precisely the people on the raft!
Xu Lie Feng quickly looked at the phantom, his face darkening, and in an instant as his superpower activated, a large amount of black grease suddenly emerged from his body.
Bang!
The tongue violently hit Xu Lie Feng, causing him to stagger back a few steps.
But the tongue didn’t pierce through Xu Lie Feng’s body; instead, because the grease on his body was too slippery, it slipped to the side.
At the same time, Xu Lie Feng grabbed the lightning-fast pink tongue and shouted, "Zhao Jun, grab it!"
A man beside him immediately acted, punching out!
With a bang, flesh exploded, and the man punched through the tongue.
Then his muscles surged, gripping the tongue tightly, preventing the mutated frog from retracting it.
The mutated frog made a strange noise, quickly bobbing up and down in the water.
At the same time, Xu Lie Feng sneered, pressing both palms onto the tongue.
Then, his superpower erupted, and a mass of black grease shot out from his palms.
It spread along the entire tongue, all the way into the mutated frog’s large mouth.
Then Xu Lie Feng took out a lighter, snapped it, and flames ignited.
Whoosh!
In an instant, the flames ignited the black grease, burning fiercely.
The fierce flames spread along the grease on the tongue, continuously extending into the mutated frog’s large mouth.
Instantly, a burnt smell of roasted meat wafted through the air.
Zhao Jun quickly let go of his arm to avoid being burned by the flames.
The mutated frog let out a shrill scream and quickly sank to the bottom of the water.
But even as it sank, flashes of fire could be seen under the water, accompanied by gurgling bubbles boiling.
Before long, it completely disappeared.
Xu Lie Feng sneered, withdrew his palms, and the black grease on his body was instantly absorbed back into his skin, returning to its normal appearance.
Standing in Building 76, Zhang Peng watched this scene, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes.
He took a deep breath, looking at the approaching raft, and immediately shouted, "Stop!"
"Xu Lie Feng, if you have something to say, speak from there!"
On the raft, Xu Lie Feng glanced at a water-control young man beside him and said, "Xiaojiang, stop for a moment."
The young man grinned at the words, retracted his palm, and the whole raft stopped moving.
It turned out he was a water attribute superpower user!
Xu Lie Feng looked across the water at Zhang Peng, smiled, and said, "Zhang Peng, this is our second meeting. I’ve come this time not to start a war, but to talk business."
Hearing this, Zhang Peng was slightly taken aback, a bit surprised.
