The Great Flood of the End of Time: Female Neighbor Comes to Borrow Food

Chapter 147 The Function of Mutated Sunflower
"Everyone's supernatural energy should be limited."

"After Zhao Kai awakens his frost power, he will run out of energy after releasing it fifty times."

"When Ding Yan first awakened her empowered powers, she could only fight at full strength for two to three minutes before her energy was exhausted and she needed to rest and recover."

Liang Yuan became thoughtful. The amount of energy in supernatural powers seemed to be different for everyone.

So what does all this have to do with it?

Liang Yuan got the answer after just a moment's thought.

"Physical attributes!"

He immediately understood the four major attributes: physique, strength, speed, and spirit.

Each corresponds to a different state of the human body.

The term "physique" here refers not only to immunity, resistance and the like.

It is also related to defense and recovery.

The higher the physical attribute, the stronger the recovery ability.

Even if one's physical strength is exhausted, if one has a good physical fitness, he will recover his strength faster.

"It's like a young person and a middle-aged person. After a night of sleep, the young person can be full of energy after a good night's sleep, while the middle-aged person may not be able to recover and feel listless for three days in a row."

“This is the difference in physique!”

"If we regard supernatural powers as a kind of human energy, once it is exhausted, the better the physique of the person, the faster they will recover!"

"So the higher the physique, the more supernatural energy?"

Liang Yuan guessed in his mind, but immediately shook his head and denied the idea.

"Not necessarily. Each of the four major attributes has a corresponding superpower."

"If someone awakens a supernatural power related to his physical condition, can he still have an endless supply of supernatural energy?"

"This is obviously wrong. A high physique can only speed up the recovery of superpowers, but the total amount of superpowers should not be determined by physique."

"What is it, then?"

Liang Yuan frowned and glanced at his attribute panel.

Suddenly his eyes focused and he noticed the [Mutation Progress] column!
"it is this!"

"The progress of mutation... yes, the determination of superpowers is also closely related to the progress of mutation!"

"At first, everyone ate the mutant fish, but in the beginning, even when faced with a life-and-death crisis, those people did not awaken their mutant abilities."

"It's because the mutation progress has not reached the threshold for awakening superpowers!"

"So even if those people were greatly stimulated, it would be difficult for them to awaken their mutant abilities."

"Until the mutation progress reaches a certain threshold, perhaps 10%, or perhaps 20%, they will awaken their mutation abilities."

"The strength of the mutation ability is closely related to the progress of the mutation!"

Liang Yuan immediately confirmed that the key factor affecting the amount of mutation energy in the human body is probably the progress of the mutation.

Others don't have attribute panels and don't know how far their mutation progress has come.

But Liang Yuan clearly knew the progress value of his mutation.

"Eating the flesh and blood of mutant creatures can quickly increase the mutation progress value. My addition will also increase the mutation progress."

"If mutant energy is really related to the progress of mutation, should I also eat more mutant flesh and blood?"

Liang Yuan thought about this and immediately shook his head.

He thought of a new problem.

"They are both mutant creatures, so why do people who eat mutant fish need mental stimulation to awaken their mutant abilities?"

"But people who eat the fruits of mutant plants can awaken directly without any mental stimulation?"

"Also, if you awaken by eating mutant fish, there is a risk of mental confusion, but if you eat mutant plant fruits, there is no such risk."

"What does this have to do with anything?"

Liang Yuan thought again about when his mutant abilities awakened. Those ancient memories that came from the genes deep within his cells seemed to affect his spirit and interfere with his awakening.

"But when I awakened, the influence of those genes was actually very small. With my mental strength, I could easily suppress it."

"I don't need any outside force to help me suppress this mental crisis."

"Is it because I didn't eat the mutant fish?"

Liang Yuan was alert and had an instinctive resistance to eating the flesh and blood of mutant creatures.

"Forget it. Adding some points will improve the mutation progress anyway. Why do we have to eat the flesh and blood of mutant creatures?"

He shook his head and abandoned the idea of ​​eating the flesh and blood of mutant creatures to increase the progress of mutation.

He always felt that improving the mutation progress in this way might not be a good thing.

Liang Yuan tried some other ways to activate the evolutionary ability.

For example, by constantly beating yourself, the [Evolution] power will quickly gather on your skin, allowing your skin to evolve a thick stratum corneum and improve your ability to withstand blows.

For example, he kept punching and hitting the wall.

[Evolution] The supernatural power will quickly grow thick and soft armor like cow hooves and horse hooves on the surface of his palms, covering his palms and improving defense to prevent injury to his flesh and blood.

Liang Yuan was excited. It seemed that there were still many areas that could be developed in the [Evolution] ability.

There are many aspects of this ability that are worth exploring.

After studying his special abilities for a while, Liang Yuan felt a little tired.

Using supernatural powers for a long time does consume physical strength.

He stood there and rested for a while, and had already reached a conclusion.

"With my 40% mutation progress, I can only last about minutes."

"This is probably due to the fact that my ability is not a combat type ability, but a support type ability, which does not require a strong burst."

"After forty minutes, my powers will be exhausted and my body will feel noticeably tired."

Liang Yuan silently noted this time point, and tried his best to finish future battles within this time.

He casually took out a chair from the inventory and sat on it to rest.

About three minutes later, his physical strength recovered somewhat, but his supernatural powers had not yet recovered.

"It seems that my physical attributes can indeed restore my physical strength very quickly, but the recovery of supernatural powers is not only determined by physical attributes."

"It should also be related to the progress of mutation."

After waiting for about another hour, Liang Yuan finally felt that his supernatural powers had returned to normal.

He silently noted down the time data.

"Brother Liang, you are here."

At this time, Zhao Kai came to the rooftop, saw Liang Yuan, and hurriedly called him.

Liang Yuan looked at him: "What's wrong?"

"The Taoist priest Lin on the other side wants to talk to you." Zhao Kai said.

He then added, "It's probably about leaving."

Liang Yuan nodded. He was not surprised. This matter was not a trivial matter. Of course, Taoist Lin and the others were anxious.

He then asked, "What's going on in Building 77? Has Dong Yan contacted him?"

"I have contacted her. Dong Yan said she is already counting the number of people. She has decided to leave and hopes to bring her brother Dong Jie with her."

Liang Yuan nodded: "Anyone with special abilities who wants to join can do so."

"Can our raft hold so many people?"

Liang Yuan shook his head: "One is definitely not enough, but don't we have two?"

"The big raft can hold thirty to fifty people, and the small one can hold at least twenty to thirty people."

Zhao Kai nodded and said, "I just don't know how many people are willing to leave. I think many people have concerns and don't want to leave."

"Especially some older people, they feel it's not worth the risk, at least they are safe here for a short period of time."

Liang Yuan shook his head: "Let them be. These people have no long-term vision and dare not take risks. They will be a burden to us if they follow us."

As they talked, they walked towards the telephone barrel.

The telephone barrel is still a plastic barrel, and the rope inside leads to the opposite building.

Liang Yuan patted the plastic bucket and shouted into the bucket: "I'm Liang Yuan. Hello? Is there anyone over there?"

"Yes, yes, Mr. Liang, it's me." The voice of Lin Laodao came over, mixed with the noise of wind and rain outside.

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Master Lin, you are looking for me? Is it because of leaving here?"

Lin Laodao said quickly: "Yes, we suddenly heard the news yesterday, and we discussed it overnight."

"Zhu Zi and Dr. Yang both want to leave with you. Mr. Liang, do you really have to leave? I think this heavy rain may stop at any time. This flood can't keep rising. God really doesn't want us to live."

As soon as Liang Yuan heard it, he knew that Lin Laodao was still holding on to his luck and was not willing to leave his comfortable nest.

"Master Lin, do you want to gamble?"

"The heavy rain has been going on for half a year. When has it ever stopped?"

"I have already analyzed what I should have done with Dr. Yang. He should have already told you about it."

"By the way, how is Dr. Yang's injury? If he wants to leave, can he leave?"

At this time, Yang Shenmin's voice came from the other side.

"Mr. Liang, thank you for your concern. My injuries have all healed. Thank you so much for last time."

Yang Shenmin's shoulder blade was broken and dislocated last time, and later with the help of Tang Ying, the bone was reattached. Normal people need a hundred days to recover from a broken bone.

But Yang Shenmin had awakened his mutant abilities after all, and his physical fitness was far superior to that of ordinary people. In addition, he had the magical thing called the power stone, so he naturally recovered quickly.

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "It's good to recover. How many of you plan to leave?"

"I told you about this last time. Are you prepared?"

Yang Shenmin said quickly: "Yes, after you mentioned this matter last time, I took it to heart and built a raft as quickly as possible."

"It's entering the final stage now. If possible, can you wait for us for two more days? It will definitely be completed within two days. Then we can set off together and take care of each other. Do you think it's okay?"

Yang Shenmin is a man of strong mobility. When he learned that Liang Yuan and his team had built a raft and were preparing to head to the higher mountains, he became interested.

So after Liang Yuan and the others left, he immediately found Lin Laodao and Shi Haizhu to discuss the matter.

Taoist Lin was somewhat reluctant to leave as he felt that it was relatively safe living in the building for the time being.

What if I go out and encounter a horrible mutated monster like the frog monster? Who can be my opponent on the water?

Yang Shenmin carefully analyzed the pros and cons with them, especially mentioning that once Liang Yuan and the others left, no one would provide carbohydrates such as rice and flour, and staying here would be like waiting for death.

Moreover, as the flood water continues to rise, more and more large marine creatures may appear nearby, making it even more difficult to leave.

Shi Haizhu listened and agreed to leave here.

Taoist Lin was hesitant, but now that Yang Shenmin and Shi Haizhu had both awakened their mutant abilities, the entire Building 75 was no longer something he could decide on his own.

So he could only nod in agreement and found some people to start building the raft.

That’s why we are having today’s conversation.

Liang Yuan said, "Okay, two days. It will take me one or two days to finish all the loose ends. You guys count the people who are leaving, have them pack their things, and be ready to go at any time."

"Hey, that's settled then."

Yang Shenmin agreed immediately.

The reason why he wanted to go with Liang Yuan and the others was naturally because Liang Yuan and the others were strong.

Everyone left together, so even if they encountered any danger on the road, they could take care of each other.

When I got home, the morning fish collection work was not yet finished.

Yang Mei took Cai Yao to keep accounts, while Sister Wu and the others collected the fish.

When Liang Yuan came in, he was immediately excited to see that there were already a lot of mutant fish accumulated in the room.

"How much have you collected?"

"More than 500." Yangmei said with a smile.

Liang Yuan was delighted. As expected, the exchange rate was lowered yesterday and everyone was fighting for their lives.

Look at the owners queuing up to exchange food. They all have red eyes and dark circles, and it is obvious that they have been up all night.

"Have the fish from buildings 75 and 77 been delivered?"

"not yet."

Liang Yuan was even happier. If the fish from both sides were transported over, wouldn't the number of fish increase by another four or five hundred?

Isn’t that nearly a thousand fish?

Converted into points, it must be no more than 8,000 points?

Wouldn't it be possible for me to immediately have another 10,000 points?

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "I'll kill the fish, you guys continue."

He immediately began to process a batch of fish in the house, and at the same time prepared supplies for the owners according to the list compiled by Yangmei and others.

This time, the owners worked so hard that a large amount of supplies in Liang Yuan's inventory were cleared out.

But it doesn’t matter, the supplies can be obtained through lottery at any time, so he is not worried.

After processing this batch of fish, Liang Yuan watched Yang Mei and the others busy for a while, then turned around and went to the plant room.

In the plant room, under Song Wen's special ability, the first crop of vegetables has been harvested.

After all, these vegetables are ordinary plants, not mutant plants, and they will not place too high demands on Song Wen's supernatural powers.

However, the three sunflowers have grown a lot taller.

Although they have not bloomed yet, the faint fluorescent green illuminates the entire plant room, making the light here much brighter than outside.

"Brother Liang, you are here."

Seeing Liang Yuan, Song Wen quickly greeted him.

Liang Yuan asked curiously, "Where are Aunt Li and the others?"

Song Wen smiled and said, "Aunt Li went back to pack her things. Didn't you say you were leaving here? So everyone went back to pack their luggage."

"Then a few aunts heard that the exchange rate for food there has dropped, and they wanted to go back and catch more fish with their families to exchange for food."

"I see there's nothing else to do in the plant room right now, so I'll let them go back."

Liang Yuan looked around the living room and found that the total planting area was indeed just this big.

If it weren't for the composting and fertilizing, there wouldn't be much to do normally.

Liang Yuan asked, "Can you handle this by yourself?"

"There is nothing to do now. The first crop has grown out. We just need to sow seeds and water them, and then we can plant the second crop."

"After all, the soil has been fertilized, so it's very fertile."

"By the way, I have a new discovery and was just about to tell you." Song Wen suddenly thought of something and said quickly.

Liang Yuan was curious and asked, "What did you find?"

“It’s these sunflowers.”

“These sunflowers can not only provide light, but can also be used as lamps.”

"And the light they emit seems to be able to replace sunlight."

"I found that all the plants were growing towards these sunflowers."

"Aunt Li said that this is determined by the plant's phototropism, so I guess this mutant sunflower can replace sunlight and provide photosynthesis for plants."

Liang Yuan was pleasantly surprised and asked, "These sunflowers have this function?"

"Yes, not only that, I also found that when I rested next to the sunflowers, the energy in my body recovered much faster than usual."

"It seems that the light they emit contains some supernatural energy, which will be absorbed by the human body."

“Come to think of it, every time I nourish them and my energy runs out, I rest beside them and then I realize this.”

Song Wen talked about her discovery with a look of joy on her face.

Liang Yuan was also surprised when he heard this.

He didn't expect that the mutant sunflower extracted from the system would have so many benefits. He was pleasantly surprised and surprised.

You know, these sunflower seeds only cost him 20 points.

At that time, I was quite reluctant to give up the 20 points.

It’s not as luxurious as it is now when I can easily earn thousands of points.

All in all, it seems like I have made a lot of money by extracting these mutant sunflower seeds.

"Is it easy to transplant this sunflower into a pot?"

Liang Yuan asked immediately.

Song Wen was stunned for a moment, then realized something and asked, "Brother Liang, are you going to take them away?"

Liang Yuan nodded: "This mutant sunflower is different from other plants. One is enough for the people here. The other two will be one for you and me."

"I need to take it to the mountains and see if I can spread it over a large area."

Song Wen immediately waved her hands: "Ah, no need to give it to me, Brother Liang, just leave one for the people in the building."

Liang Yuan glanced at her and said with a smile: "This sunflower can speed up the recovery of superpowers, and it can also provide light and promote photosynthesis of plants."

"Your ability is plant control. Are you sure you don't need it?"

"In this kind of heavy rain, with the sun refusing to come out, what plants can thrive?"

"Besides, as a girl, aren't you afraid to sleep alone at night? It can provide light. If you put a sunflower in your room, wouldn't you feel safe?"

When Song Wen heard what Liang Yuan said, a look of interest suddenly appeared on her face.

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "It's settled. You can find a way to transplant two of them into potted plants. When we leave, we can take them with us."

"Well... okay, thank you, Brother Liang."

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "This is what you deserve. Have you forgotten what I told you?"

"Only by being self-reliant can you survive in this apocalypse."

"Song Wen, you did a great job and impressed me."

When Song Wen heard this, she recalled how she almost starved to death at the beginning and had to go to Liang Yuan's house to borrow food.

At that time, Liang Yuan did not lend her food, but taught her how to survive in this doomsday.

Looking back now, she is filled with gratitude.

If it weren't for Brother Liang, I might have really borrowed some food, and then stayed at home until I finished eating, and then came out to borrow more food.

This happened one after another, and it was unpredictable what path this little girl would eventually take.

But Brother Liang taught me to be self-reliant, and invisibly forced me to go out of the house and face difficulties bravely.

This is the most precious "food" he lent me.
