Chapter 989: Chapter 382: Farewell, Lin Ya
Lin Ya heard the words, and her expression slightly changed, but she also knew that Liang Yuan still had reservations about them.
Though she was unhappy inwardly, she also realized that this was the situation, and she was in no position to make demands.
Lin Ya forced a smile: "I haven’t had the chance to ask your name?"
Liang Yuan introduced himself: "Liang Yuan, currently the captain of the Golden Armor Warship."
He then pointed to Qiu Yingyue and said, "This is my partner, Ms. Qiu Yingyue."
Lin Ya nodded towards Qiu Yingyue and then said, "Hello, what do you want to know?"
Liang Yuan did not directly ask about Mist City but instead inquired about the situation of the ship first.
"This ship is a teaching vessel from Linjiang University’s School of Shipbuilding, right? How did it end up in your hands? Are you the captain of this ship?"
Lin Ya shook her head and said, "I’m not the captain. The ship’s captain is Leng Yuehua, who lives in the same building as me. You’ve met her."
Liang Yuan immediately recalled that cold woman whose finger could emit lasers.
"Is it the woman who can shoot laser beams with her fingers?"
Lin Ya was slightly stunned upon hearing this. In fact, the places where Leng Yuehua could emit laser beams weren’t just her fingers.
Of course, she had no need to explain further and just nodded.
Liang Yuan realized that when he first met this woman in Building 87, both Lin Ya and the girl at that time, who could deprive others of their five senses, implicitly respected her.
It now appears that this woman has indeed become the leader of this group.
"So where did you get this ship?" Liang Yuan asked.
Lin Ya said, "It was snatched from the Linjiang University School of Shipbuilding."
Liang Yuan’s eyes flashed slightly, thinking it was indeed so, and asked, "How many ships were there in total at the time? You only took this one?"
"There were three or four large ships in total, and we chose this relatively newer one."
"Was this ship not submerged at the time?"
"No, when we arrived at the School of Shipbuilding, these ships were all floating on the water, and there were already people inside."
"Who took the other ships?"
"One cargo ship was taken by a group who followed us out from Meidu Garden."
"Another passenger ship, which wasn’t as new, was taken by a group from a nearby school."
Liang Yuan immediately guessed that the group who followed Leng Yuehua and them was probably Brother Huo and his people.
Brother Huo took the cargo ship, renamed it the Firebird, and began plundering resources everywhere on the water.
He looked at Lin Ya and asked, "How did you end up here?"
Lin Ya said helplessly, "After we got the Queen, we were heading along the river towards the higher ground area near Guangfu, but as soon as we reached the river outlet, we encountered a super yacht called the ’President No. 7’."
"The owner of this yacht is a pervert named Lingjiang He, who takes pleasure in toying with women. Upon encountering our Queen, he kept pursuing us relentlessly."
"Over a month ago, we were left with no choice and decided to enter this fog. Unexpectedly, we found a city island floating above the floodwaters here."
"An island floating on the floodwaters?" Liang Yuan squinted his eyes and inquired further.
"Yes, our passenger ship hit a reef accidentally here because of the fog, blocking our view and jamming the ship in place."
"Fortunately, the people from the President No. 7 also couldn’t find us due to the fog, which has prevented them from finding us all this time."
"Occasionally, a few people managed to stumble here, but we’ve dealt with them swiftly."
"President No. 7..."
Liang Yuan looked quizzically at Qiu Yingyue beside him: "Have you heard of it?"
Qiu Yingyue shook her head: "No, I haven’t."
Lin Ya explained, "The President No. 7 is one of the President series of ships, which was already well-known before the Great Flood and sailed around the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River."
"This President No. 7 wasn’t named by Lingjiang He; it already had this name well before the flood."
"It’s a sister ship with President No. 8, both very famous among super yachts."
Liang Yuan was silent for a moment. Before the end of the Great Flood, not to mention yachts, he had rarely even been on an ordinary boat.
As a working man, he never had the opportunity to enjoy a yacht, let alone such a super yacht.
Lin Ya was clearly not an average working person. Before the Great Flood, her social status must have been relatively high, at least belonging to the elite.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t be so familiar with such things as yachts.
Liang Yuan didn’t dwell too much on the yacht matter and directly asked, "You can’t defeat this Lingjiang He?"
"No," Lin Ya sighed and admitted quite frankly.
Liang Yuan grew interested. These women, Leng Yuehua, Liu Sisi, and Lin Ya, were certainly no pushovers, yet they were being chased all the way by someone called Lingjiang He?
"Does the other side have a lot of people?" Liang Yuan asked curiously.
"Lingjiang He doesn’t have many people under him, but he has imprisoned a lot of women, and there are quite a number of maids specifically serving him."
"The entire President No. 7 serves him alone."
Liang Yuan was puzzled: "If he doesn’t have many people under him, why couldn’t you fight back?"
Lin Ya hesitated for a moment, finally speaking the truth: "Lingjiang He’s ability is very special. He can fully metalize his body, with extremely high defense power."
Liang Yuan raised an eyebrow: "Full metalization? Just like that?"
In Yangshan, there were already two people who could fully metalize their bodies, Cheng Zhanpeng and Xia Ming.
But when it comes to combat power, neither of them is considered top-tier.
Thus, in Liang Yuan’s impression, the Metalization Superpower is not deemed impressive.
Unless this metalization can transform directly into elementalization.
Lin Ya smiled wryly, "Mr. Liang, don’t underestimate Lingjiang He’s Metalization Superpower. When he metalizes, it’s not ordinary metal but rather goes golden!"
"We call his superpower the ’Golden Body’."
"Once he uses the ’Golden Body,’ his defense power is incredibly strong, beyond imagination."
"Not only can physical attacks not hurt him, but even spiritual attacks cannot penetrate his body’s surface."
"But in the ’Golden Body’ state, his power and speed have dramatically increased, making him one of the top-tier strength-type superpower users."
Liang Yuan listened to Lin Ya’s description, feeling slightly surprised.
A metalization superpower that even spiritual power attacks cannot affect?
How is that possible?
It’s important to know that whether it’s Xia Ming or Cheng Zhanpeng’s metalization superpowers, they could not withstand even a single spirit shock from Liang Yuan.
Metalization strengthens the body, but not the spirit.
Could it be that gold can resist spiritual power penetration?
Liang Yuan was somewhat surprised and immediately took out a golden bracelet from the inventory.
When he was sweeping through the Henglong Building, he didn’t let go of gold stores like Chow Tai Fook.
All the gold was cleared out by him.
Even though he didn’t know if he would need it in the future, Liang Yuan didn’t miss it.
He never considered before whether there was a connection between gold and spiritual power.
Now, hearing Lin Ya’s implication, could gold actually block spiritual power probing?
He immediately tried to penetrate the golden bracelet in his hand with spiritual power.
This penetration immediately changed his expression slightly.
Sure enough, the ability for spiritual power to penetrate gold turned out to be extremely laborious!
If spiritual power spreads at a speed of 100 in the air, then it only spreads at a speed of around 20 in gold!
A reduction of 5 times!
This feeling is like being able to easily poke your finger into water, but unable to push it into a stone.
"Is it because gold’s density is too high?"
"Or because gold is an inert material?"
Numerous speculations flashed through Liang Yuan’s mind at once.
These speculations probably need a lot of experiments to confirm.
However, there is already one conclusion.
Gold possesses the characteristic of defending against spiritual power penetration!
At this moment, Liang Yuan immediately realized one thing!
"If gold can defend against spiritual power penetration, its value is likely to rise immediately."
Imagine, if you used gold to make a helmet, wrapping it around your head.
Could it prevent attacks from spirit ability users?
It’s important to know that among all superpower users, spirit ability users’ attacks are the most bizarre and mysterious.
Back in the building, whether it was Wang Ze or the neighbor lady whose soul resided in a pet dog, both caused a lot of trouble for Liang Yuan.
Wang Ze even used a spiritual illusion technique to directly control most of the units in Building 76.
If not for Liang Yuan this variable, Wang Ze might have already had control over the entire Building 76.
"It seems if there’s a chance, I should visit the gold stores in the underwater malls earlier."
Liang Yuan made a mental note, then put away the golden bracelet and looked at Lin Ya.
"Is Leng Yuehua’s laser beam ineffective against this Lingjiang River?"
Lin Ya shook her head slightly: "It’s ineffective, Yue Hua’s laser beam’s instantaneous temperature is very high, it can easily pierce through rocks, but it can’t harm Lingjiang River."
Qiu Yingyue nearby said: "There is a saying that real gold fears no fire. If one’s entire body is gold, then perhaps it’s not afraid of high-temperature lasers."
Liang Yuan heard this and involuntarily shook his head, saying: "No, I remember the melting point of gold is around a thousand degrees. Gold can indeed be melted by flames, just that ordinary flame temperatures aren’t high enough."
"I don’t know how high laser temperatures are, but according to pre-apocalyptic technological developments, laser weapons’ temperatures must certainly exceed gold’s melting point."
Qiu Yingyue questioned suspiciously: "Then why can’t your laser woman penetrate the Lingjiang River’s Golden Body?"
Liang Yuan pondered and said: "Maybe it’s because Leng Yuehua’s laser beam hasn’t reached that high-temperature level."
"Huh? Isn’t the temperature of lasers fixed?" Qiu Yingyue asked a rather silly question.
Ordinary people indeed don’t know much about lasers.
Most people aren’t aware of laser weapons’ operating principles, let alone what lasers essentially are.
Frankly speaking, Liang Yuan isn’t very sure either.
But as far as he knows, lasers should belong to photons, with their principle being atomic stimulated radiation emitting light, hence called laser.
In fact, this is indeed the case.
Laser refers to when electrons in atoms absorb energy and jump from low energy levels to high energy levels, then fall back from high levels to low levels, releasing energy in the form of photons.
Of course, overly professional knowledge is generally not understood by ordinary people.
But Liang Yuan knows one thing, laser temperatures are not fixed.
Since there are numerous applications for lasers.
For example, in the medical aesthetic industry, there’s also laser for blemish removal; how high could those temperatures be?
It certainly wouldn’t reach over a thousand degrees, otherwise it’d melt people instantly, wouldn’t it?
Plus, Liang Yuan has seen laser welding technology on construction sites, where the laser temperature should be slightly higher, capable of melting steel.
If lasers are applied in weaponry, then presumably the temperature would be very high.
All in all, laser temperatures are definitely variable.
Leng Yuehua cannot penetrate the golden body with her laser, not because the laser temperature is inadequate, but it’s likely due to Leng Yuehua’s insufficient strength.
