Chapter 897: Chapter 335: Sister Ding, Is It Really You?_2
He tore his shirt, quickly gave his wound a simple dressing.
Then he immediately started looking around for something that could be used as a wooden paddle.
Grabbing a plank, he paddled with all his strength, but hadn’t gone far before he suddenly shuddered and looked incredulously at the surface of the floodwater not far away.
"No, it can’t be!"
Zhang Peng’s eyes widened as he saw in the distance, on the main road outside the housing complex, a gigantic cargo ship slowly moving towards Meidu Garden!
His face turned instantly pale, and he couldn’t help but remember what Xu Lie Feng and Min Guoqiang had said during the fight just now.
Brother Huo, the superpower user from building 88, had gone outside to seize a ship.
Could this massive cargo ship before him be the one they had seized?
If that’s the case, doesn’t it mean that the big boss on this ship is Xu Lie Feng’s boss?
His heart was filled with shock and anger. Xu Lie Feng was already hard enough to deal with, and now his boss was back.
How was he going to rescue Wen Xiao and the others?
At this moment, Zhang Peng was overwhelmed with despair, clenching his fists, deeply feeling his own weakness and helplessness.
But he had no time to think; he could only hide himself for now.
Zhang Peng took a deep breath and quickly paddled the raft, trying to evade the cargo ship.
However, he didn’t notice that an eagle had already locked its eyes on him amidst the rain.
As Zhang Peng thought he had carefully hidden behind a nearby building, avoiding the cargo ship’s line of sight,
a voice suddenly rang out.
"Are you hiding from us?"
Zhang Peng was taken aback, quickly turned around, and looked behind him.
However, there was nothing behind him; not a single soul.
He was startled again, feeling a chill run down his spine.
Then suddenly, a whooshing sound came from above him!
He instinctively raised his head and lifted his arms to defend himself.
But he immediately felt a sharp pain at the back of his head.
With a thud, he plunged headfirst into the floodwaters.
Before he could sink to the bottom, a figure flashed in the air, and Tu Long reached out to pull him from the water.
Then, with interest, he looked at the Zhang Peng in his hand, then glanced at Meidu Garden, murmuring, "It seems something has happened in Mr. Liang’s hometown."
With this in mind, his form shifted into a giant eagle, grasped Zhang Peng, and soared into the air.
Passing through the rain, the giant eagle held him like a fish and swiftly flew back to the Firebird.
As the only superpower user on Firebird capable of transforming into a giant eagle and possessing the ability to hover,
he had become the Firebird’s lookout, usually tasked with scouting the water ahead and reporting findings back.
Ding Yan and others on the Firebird would sort through the information he provided, strategically arranging personnel or avoiding certain routes in advance.
Under the awning on the deck, Liang Yuan was discussing with Fu Qibo and Ren Jie about some experiences in applying runes to superpower weapons.
Suddenly, with a crash, a person was thrown onto the deck.
Then Tu Long landed with a flap of his wings, transforming back into human form.
Nearby, Wang Xiaoya walked over and curiously asked, "Brother Tu Long, who is this person?"
Tu Long shook his head, "I don’t know either. I saw him acting suspiciously when he saw our ship and tried to run."
"I thought he looked dubious, so I brought him back."
At this time, Li Xiangyang walked over and after hearing this said, "Just wake him up and ask."
Everyone nodded, and then Kong Sheng waved his hand, summoning a stream of water to pour down on the unconscious Zhang Peng.
Suddenly, Zhang Peng shivered and woke up from his unconsciousness.
The burn wound on his body pulled apart, immediately starting to bleed.
The pain surged through him, making him more alert.
He opened his eyes and saw these unfamiliar faces around him, a look of hatred appearing in his eyes.
But this was not the time to turn against them; he must think of a way to escape.
He lowered his head and asked, "Who are you? Why did you capture me?"
Tu Long looked at Zhang Peng and sneered, "Kid, stop pretending. Do you recognize our ship? Why did you hide when you saw it?"
Zhang Peng’s heart sank, but he still feigned fear, saying, "In this great flood, there are no good people around. Isn’t it normal to be afraid of being captured and enslaved by you?"
Tu Long raised an eyebrow, sensing this kid was troublesome.
Just then, Zhang Rongrong, who was beside Li Xiangyang, spoke, "Stop pretending. The moment you woke up, your eyes were filled with hatred toward us."
"It’s strange; this is our first time here, have you met us before? Why such animosity towards us?"
Zhang Rongrong was a Spirit Ability User, with heightened perception, immediately noticing Zhang Peng’s initial emotions.
Zhang Peng was startled, not expecting his unintentional display of emotion to be caught by them.
He increasingly felt the people on this ship were troublesome and frightening.
Tu Long snorted coldly, "Hostility towards us; seems like you’re not a good person. Report this to Captain Ding, and later we’ll have someone come and interrogate him well."
Wang Xiaoya asked, "Should we inform Mr. Liang?"
Tu Long shook his head, "It’s unnecessary to alarm Mr. Liang over something this trivial. We’d better get results first before disturbing him."
Li Xiangyang also said, "Brother Tu Long is right. Mr. Liang is extremely busy. These small matters we should handle on our own, I’ll go find Captain Ding."
On the ground, the more Zhang Peng listened, the more shocked he became, especially at the mention of ’Mr. Liang,’ his brain trembled fiercely, and his heart raced.
Those three words seemed magical, once giving him and his girlfriend hope in their most despairing moments.
Now, in his most helpless moment, this name appeared once more.
He almost instinctively looked up, excitedly asked, "Who is this Mr. Liang you mentioned? Is it Liang Yuan, Mr. Liang?"
Upon hearing this, Li Xiangyang, who was about to leave, immediately paused his steps.
Tu Long and the others also showed expressions of surprise, their eyes on Zhang Peng changing.
"Do you know Mr. Liang?" Tu Long asked in astonishment.
Kong Sheng also promptly asked, "What’s your name?"
Wang Xiaoya added, "Are you a survivor from Meidu Garden?"
The series of questions almost made Zhang Peng explode with joy. He excitedly said, "Is this ship Liang Yuan’s? Is it Liang Yuan, Mr. Liang’s?"
"My name is Zhang Peng. I’m a friend of Mr. Liang’s. Can you take me to see Mr. Liang? Mr. Liang and I are very good friends."
Zhang Peng’s eyes welled up with excitement.
He initially thought this ship belonged to Brother Huo, Xu Liefeng’s boss, but unexpectedly, it was Liang Yuan’s!
From how these people addressed Mr. Liang, it was clear he held a highly esteemed position here.
He found it unbelievable yet was overwhelmed with immense joy.
It was a joy of finding life in desperation.
When all seemed lost, a glimmer of hope appeared unexpectedly.
His excitement and joy were beyond words, struggling just to get up to see Mr. Liang.
The commotion here had already attracted a lot of attention.
Ding Yan, standing on the building, also noticed the situation here.
Her eyebrows slightly furrowed, she leapt down in a flash.
In mid-air, the empowerment from her feet exploded with light, cracking the air.
The powerful burst allowed her descent from the five-story Bamboo House to pause momentarily.
With the slow down, she easily landed on the deck.
Landing gracefully, she strode over, and Zhang Peng looked at her.
Seeing her, his eyes instantly turned red, shouting excitedly, "Sister Ding!"
Ding Yan looked at Zhang Peng, surprised, "Zhang Peng!"
She hurriedly walked over, helping Zhang Peng up from the ground, seeing him covered in injuries, she quickly turned her head and shouted, "Can someone get Wang An here to help?"
"I’ll go," Tu Long quickly responded.
Inwardly, he thought, it seems like they made a mistake; they accidentally captured one of Mr. Liang’s friends.
"Sister Ding, is it really you?"
Zhang Peng’s eyes were red, tears streaming down uncontrollably.
In these short two months, he had suffered too much, endured too many hardships.
Seeing Ding Yan now, he suddenly felt he had found his anchor, someone like family.
The grievances in his heart were like a floodgates opening, pouring out uncontrollably.
Ding Yan was also extremely moved, taking several deep breaths, "How did you end up like this? How did you get so hurt?"
With red eyes, Zhang Peng replied, "Sister Ding, let’s not talk about this now. Where is Mr. Liang? Is he here too? And, where is Lili? Where is my girlfriend?"
