Chapter 907: Chapter 339: Regathering Old Members (Part 2)
Zhang Peng sighed, saying nothing.
Gao Yucheng was no longer angry, looking away and avoiding An Minghui.
Wen Xiao hesitated to speak, but was pulled back by her sister Wen Fang, so she remained silent.
Liang Yuan said to Kong Sheng in the distance, "Give him a kayak and let him leave."
Kong Sheng mused that Mr. Liang was still too kind-hearted.
If it were him, he wouldn’t let anyone who dared betray him off so easily.
He nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Liang."
As he spoke, Kong Sheng fetched a kayak and tossed it into the water. An Minghui slowly climbed down the freighter via a rope ladder, then sat on the kayak, slowly paddling away from the Firebird.
He turned his back to the freighter, his eyes on Meidu Garden, with the wound on his chest constantly reminding him of the pain.
A hint of venom flickered in his eyes.
"I just want to live, is that a crime?"
"It wasn’t like I wanted to betray, I was forced by those people, what could I have done?"
"Damn it!"
The hatred in An Minghui’s heart was endless, like the boundless floodwaters, making his eyes bloodshot.
He felt that if it weren’t for his superpower being valuable and noticed by Xu Liyfeng, Xu Liyfeng would have already ruthlessly killed everyone long ago.
Why would he leave them alive, using them to justify his actions through murder?
If not for him, these people would have been damn dead long before.
And now they dare to blame him instead?
"It’s your own incompetence, your superpowers are too ordinary, they don’t see your value, and now you blame me?"
"I will get my revenge one day!"
"And that woman named Ding, damn it!"
Thinking of these things, An Minghui almost gritted his teeth to dust, his heart flooding with hatred.
But at this moment, he dared not make any unusual moves at all.
He didn’t even have the courage to glance back at the freighter.
Right now, staying alive was the most important thing.
On the Firebird, Liang Yuan patted Zhang Peng on the shoulder, saying, "Alright, since we let him go, let’s just call it even."
"From now on, everyone goes their separate ways, no one owes anyone anything. I have a task for you."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Peng perked up and quickly asked, "Brother Liang, what is it?"
"Take your few brothers to Building 76, bring all the reliable people you find. We can bring them back to Yangshan together later."
"Additionally, I want to retrieve that mutated sunflower from before."
On hearing this, Zhang Peng immediately nodded and said, "Brother Liang, leave this to me, I’ll get it done."
Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Ding Yan, prepare a raft and let them go."
Ding Yan nodded, "Alright, Zhang Peng, and the rest of you, come with me."
Ding Yan took Zhang Peng and the others away, while Liang Yuan stood on the deck, watching the small figure of An Minghui’s boat fade into the distance.
His expression shifted slightly, sensing the presence of the parasite species.
Sure enough, as described in the skill introduction, the parasite species could still be controlled by him even if it moved beyond his range of spiritual power.
If he didn’t activate the parasite species, An Minghui probably wouldn’t be affected by it for one to three years.
However, once beyond this time limit, the parasite species would surely erupt and grow.
By then, the parasite species would drain his flesh and blood, and An Minghui would instantly explode and die.
"I hope you take care of yourself, then you might live another one to three years."
Liang Yuan’s gaze was indifferent, no longer concerned with him.
He flashed across the sky, moving between the various buildings of Meidu Garden.
In no time, he arrived near Building 87.
Liang Yuan leaped, diving underwater to quickly descend to the nineteenth-floor room.
The balcony window on this floor was already shattered.
He still remembered flying down from the rooftop of Building 88 and crashing through the window here.
The woman named Lin Ya walked out of the bathroom, revealing a large area of spring light.
Now the flood level had risen, and the nineteenth floor was submerged.
Liang Yuan swam into the room, where many things had already been evacuated, with only some furniture and plastic products floating at the ceiling.
The news he had gotten from Zhang Peng seemed to indicate that among those who left Meidu Garden to seek a boat at Linjiang University, there were people from this building.
He wondered if the woman named Lin Ya went with them.
"Her solid superpower is very special; it would be absolutely useful for constructing a base."
"I wonder if she’s still in this building."
Liang Yuan wandered around the room, gathering all the items in the room into his inventory.
He also found several photo albums in the cabinet, all belonging to the woman named Lin Ya.
Liang Yuan took them along to inquire with the building’s residents later.
Soon he surfaced upstairs.
There were still quite a few survivors staying in the building, though it seemed there were no superpower users.
On a floor closer to the water, Liang Yuan found a middle-aged man.
At the sight of Liang Yuan, the middle-aged man immediately looked wary, quickly drawing a knife from his waist and asking, "Stop! What do you want?"
Liang Yuan gave a slight glance, activating his telekinesis, and the man’s body was suddenly compelled to lower his knife.
Liang Yuan took out a photo of Lin Ya and asked, "Do you know this woman?"
Seeing the woman in the photo, the man’s face changed slightly, and he stammered, "I know, I know, don’t kill me. I’ll tell you whatever you ask; I have nothing to eat, really, please don’t kill me."
Liang Yuan asked, "What’s her name?"
The man hurriedly replied, "Everyone calls her Sister Ya, she’s one of the most approachable among Leng Yuehua’s group of eccentric women."
"Where is she?"
"She left, went with Leng Yuehua to Linjiang University to look for a ship."
"They also took away all the women in the building, and some young male slaves."
The man immediately relayed all he knew.
Liang Yuan felt a bit disappointed; it seemed she was indeed no longer in the building.
He casually tossed the man aside and went upstairs quickly to the room of the woman named Leng Yuehua.
The room had been occupied by a group of big men.
These big men were sleeping in the room because without women or food, they could only eat fish.
The room had a strange smell, and Liang Yuan quickly backed out after a quick round.
There was nothing valuable in there.
"What a pity. Among those women, a few had commendable strength."
Liang Yuan shook his head slightly; he wasn’t sure if those women ever found the ship.
He only regretted that if they had died, there was no way he could recruit them into the Yangshan Shelter.
By the time he returned to the Firebird, Zhang Peng had also brought a group of people back.
There were dozens gathered on the deck, and upon seeing Liang Yuan, each one of them cried out excitedly.
"Mr. Liang! It really is Mr. Liang!"
"Oh my God, Mr. Liang, is it really you? Did you really come back to save us?"
"Boohoo, Mr. Liang, we missed you so much."
Some even cried with excitement and joy.
Liang Yuan walked over, smiling, "Everyone, everyone, neighbors, it’s me, and not just me; most of the people who left with me are still alive."
"This time I’ve returned to take everyone to Yangshan."
"Are you all still willing to come with me?"
Someone in the crowd immediately shouted with excitement, "Mr. Liang, I am willing, we are willing."
"Mr. Liang, I regret not going with you back then. I really wanted to go with you."
"Mr. Liang, my mother was seriously ill back then, and I truly couldn’t leave her behind. Now I am alone, and I’ve been wanting to find you."
"Mr. Liang, our hearts have long gone with you to Yangshan."
The crowd shouted one after another, each with tears in their eyes.
Liang Yuan’s face also broke into a smile, repeatedly saying, "Good, good, everyone still believes in me, still trusts me, I am very happy."
"Zhang Peng, take everyone to the Bamboo House to find a place to settle down first."
"After I take a trip to Linjiang University, I will bring you back to Yangshan."
"Let you all see our shelter."
