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

Chapter 148 Song Wen is grateful and explores the bottom of the water

"Thank you, Brother Liang. If you hadn't helped me, I... I might not have survived."

Song Wen's eyes were slightly red. Thinking back to what happened, she felt a little scared, but also moved.

When she walked out of the house and faced the outside world bravely.

Fortunately, I didn't encounter any terrible people or things.

Instead, I got to know Brother Liang, Aunt Li, Liu Feifei, Hu Weimin's family and many others.

In the face of a major disaster, people did not harm or scheme against each other, but instead helped and cared for each other.

This gave her a lot of warmth and touched her.

But she also knew very well that she was lucky.

Because not everyone has the same experience as hers.

She was lucky to be Liang Yuan's downstairs neighbor and luckily avoided the time when Liu Erlong dominated.

Fortunately, he avoided the building where Wang Ze's gang was located.

It was Brother Liang who killed Liu Erlong and his gang, creating a safe, stable order and environment in the building, which allowed her to leave the house and meet Feifei and the others.

It was Brother Liang who took care of her and kept the exchange rate low for her, which helped her get through the most difficult period at the beginning.

It was also Brother Liang who descended from the sky and rescued Feifei when Chen Hong and his gang were about to kill her and capture her.

So her thank you really came from the bottom of her heart.

Liang Yuan just smiled and said, "The person you should thank the most is yourself."

"If you are not strong yourself, no matter how convenient others give you, you will not be able to stand up."

"Just like Zhang Lanjuan and Sun Da's son, what's his name? Oh, Sun Xu, that kid is hopeless. I gave his parents such good conditions, but he didn't make progress, and instead took advantage of his power to bully others."

"You know, even if you help a person like this countless times, he will still be a mess."

"So, you should be thankful for yourself because you have a strong and resilient heart."

Liang Yuan's words made Song Wen happy, but also a little embarrassed.

"I... I'm not as good as you say, Brother Liang..."

She had fair skin and beautiful features, and she suddenly acted like a little girl, which surprised Liang Yuan.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Song Wen couldn't help but look up at him.

Seeing him staring at her, her heart began to beat fast.

For some reason, I suddenly thought of the time on the rooftop a few days ago when he taught me how to become familiar with my superpowers and manipulate plants.

It rained heavily that time and soaked her clothes.

He took off his T-shirt and showed it to himself, revealing his muscular body...

bang bang bang...

Song Wen's heart was beating uncontrollably and her face became redder.

Liang Yuan came back to his senses, coughed quickly and turned his head away.

"Liang...Brother Liang, you...you..."

Song Wen wanted to break the awkwardness, but didn't know what to say.

Although she was once a popular internet anchor with millions of fans.

You can talk freely on the Internet and talk about anything.

But it’s not like that at all in real life.

Especially when facing the man she likes, it is even more impossible for her to be as comfortable as she is on the Internet.

After Liang Yuan recovered, he relaxed and said with a smile: "Now I understand why those netizens like to follow you."

"With your looks, you can be a big hit offline as well, not just online."

Song Wen was so happy to be praised that her face turned red and she stammered, not knowing what to say.

Liang Yuan stopped teasing her and asked with a smile: "By the way, when you were attacked by Chen Hong before, I heard you say that you summoned a kelp to help you attack Chen Hong?"

Song Wen was stunned, then recalled and nodded quickly: "Yes, it was kelp. I sensed it on the twelfth floor at that time."

"But when I went back later, I couldn't sense it anymore. I'm afraid it's because the distance is too far."

Liang Yuan nodded and said, "Kelp can be considered an edible plant. It is also rich in potassium and iodine trace elements, which are essential nutrients for the human body."

"I'll go back and see if I can dig some up, and we'll see if we can plant some in the plant room."

"After we leave, the people here won't just eat fish and vegetables. It would be great if kelp could be grown artificially."

Song Wen nodded when she heard this, and then asked worriedly, "How do we dig this?"

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "I'll find a way."

Song Wen said worriedly, "Are you going to go into the water? There are a lot of mutant creatures underwater. Don't take risks. I heard Aunt Li say before that she plans to try to cultivate mushrooms or something like that."

"The air here is humid. I've found mushrooms and wood ears growing on the floor of my home before."

"If it can be grown artificially, it can also provide the same vegetables to everyone."

Liang Yuan's eyes lit up slightly: "This is a good idea. We can try it out. If it succeeds, we can also plant it when we go to the mountains."

"Then please don't go into the water, okay?" Song Wen said quickly.

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Are you worried about me?"

Song Wen blushed, but did not refute. She just made an imperceptible "hmm".

Liang Yuan was touched and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I know what's going on."

He then changed the subject and asked about the plant room and how long it would take to harvest vegetables if they were grown normally.

When talking about business, Song Wen's attention was indeed diverted, and she began to introduce herself to Liang Yuan.

The two talked for a while, and then Aunt Li and the others came back.

When they saw Liang Yuan, everyone quickly gathered around him and asked about his departure.

"Mr. Liang, when are we leaving?"

"Mr. Liang, if we leave, should we leave the plant room to someone else?"

"Mr. Liang..."

Liang Yuan was very kind to these aunties who grew vegetables for him and answered their questions one by one.

An aunt asked a question that everyone is most concerned about.

"Mr. Liang, what if there is not enough space on the raft and some people who want to leave can't leave?"

Liang Yuan was surprised and asked, "Why, so many people want to leave?"

"I don't know either, but after I went back, I heard everyone chatting and it seemed like quite a few people did want to leave."

"They trust your judgment, Mr. Liang, and they are also worried that things will get chaotic again after you leave."

Hearing this, Liang Yuan couldn't help but say: "Thank you all for your trust. If there is not enough space on the raft this time, we will find a way to come back and take you on another trip."

"It all depends on whether our trip goes smoothly. As you know, the mutant creatures in the water are ferocious. They are no joke."

"We are thirty kilometers away from Yangshan and Meishan. It only takes half an hour to drive there, but it would take half a day to get there by raft."

"So once we arrive safely on the mountain, we will find a way to come back and pick up others who want to leave."

Hearing this, everyone felt relieved.

It would be great if Mr. Liang would come back.

At least before Mr. Liang comes back, some people with ulterior motives in the building will not dare to jump out and cause trouble.

Most of the people present were women. They had experienced the chaos when Liu Erlong ruled the apartment building and knew the terrible nature of human nature.

The more chaotic the time is, the women are the most likely to suffer.

Therefore, many women prefer to follow Liang Yuan.

After all, Liang Yuan's credibility is obvious to all. At least he won't bully others and he takes good care of everyone.

That's what the people want.

After sending everyone away, Liang Yuan also left the plant room and walked downstairs.

"There are a lot of mutant creatures in the water. I'd better explore the surrounding area before setting off."

He did not forget the giant octopus monster, and he didn't know whether it was still lingering near Building 76.

"Now I have the ability to 'evolve'. I can grow gills to breathe underwater. As long as I don't leave the apartment building, I shouldn't run into any big guys. My safety should be guaranteed."

Liang Yuan thought to himself that he planned to go downstairs from the apartment building to find out the underwater situation.

The space inside the apartment building is small. Even if there are mutant creatures, creatures that are too large cannot squeeze into the apartment building.

He felt a little excited, as this was his first underwater exploration since the flood.

I wonder what the underwater world looks like now.

Soon, Liang Yuan arrived at the fourteenth floor.

In just one day, the fourteenth floor was also flooded and the water level was almost rising to the fifteenth floor.

When the owners who were fishing nearby saw Liang Yuan, they hurriedly greeted him.

They all had dark circles under their eyes, and their eyes were bloodshot.

It was obvious that he stayed up late to catch fish.

Liang Yuan smiled and told them to be careful, then he found an empty staircase and immediately dived into the water.

"one two Three……"

Under the water, Liang Yuan held his breath and silently counted the time.

After about five seconds, the ability adapted to the environment autonomously and quickly evolved cheeks behind the ears.

Liang Yuan immediately felt that his heart and lungs were able to exchange air with the outside world. "It seems that as long as the organs that have evolved before [Evolve] the ability, the second time they start to evolve, the speed will be much faster."

Liang Yuan made a judgment in his mind that the speed of the cheeks behind the ears evolving this time was much faster than the first time.

Maybe the gene was activated once?

At this time, Liang Yuan's eyelids also felt slightly itchy, and a layer of protective film quickly grew out, covering around his eyeballs.

He opened his eyes and could see underwater.

Liang Yuan walked slowly down the steps that were flooded.

Various mutant fish were swimming around. Suddenly, a mutant fish seemed to notice Liang Yuan, and it flicked its tail and swam towards Liang Yuan quickly.

Liang Yuan frowned slightly and grabbed the mutant fish which was the size of his arm.

The mutant fish struggled in his palm, its mouth opened, revealing its sharp teeth.

Liang Yuan pondered: "I just entered the water and was noticed by these mutant fish."

"These mutant fish can recognize that I am not a marine creature? Why do they actively attack me?"

Liang Yuan felt strange and looked around at the other fish.

I immediately discovered that they did not attack each other. Occasionally, there was a chase between the larger ones and the smaller ones.

I am nearly 1.9 meters tall, which is definitely not small in this stairwell.

Why does this mutant fish the size of an arm dare to attack me?
"Is it because I don't have the scent of marine life?"

Liang Yuan was puzzled. He crushed the mutant fish to death and threw it away.

After a while, a large number of other fish swam over and started to eat the mutant fish.

Liang Yuan hid in a room underwater and watched this scene, not understanding the hunting principles of these mutant fish.

He shook his head, ignored it, and continued down the corridor.

Going all the way down, he found that the rooms on the eleventh and twelfth floors had already been emptied and there was nothing inside.

Around the tenth floor, there are quite a few things in these rooms.

Liang Yuan had never been here since the tenth floor.

Because when he went out for the first time, the flood had already reached the eleventh floor.

Looking at the wooden floors and cabinet panels that had been deformed by the flood, Liang Yuan spit out bubbles and thought to himself that it was a pity.

If these boards are not soaked in water, they can still be used as wood.

I searched all six units on the tenth floor but found nothing valuable.

Liang Yuan walked down the corridor again.

The light underwater has dimmed and visibility is very low.

After all, it was raining heavily on the water surface, dark clouds covered the sky, and there was no light at all, let alone underwater.

Liang Yuan opened his eyes, but couldn't see clearly what was around him.

Fortunately, he has mental power and can sense everything within a dozen meters.

However, he did not close his eyes, but relied on his mental power to check the situation around him.

Instead, he still insisted on using his eyes to observe the dark environment.

About a few minutes later, the supernatural power in Liang Yuan's body surged again and flowed to his eyeballs.

Suddenly, he felt a slight numbness in his eyeballs, and then his vision gradually returned.

The darkness around was gradually not as dark as ink, but became somewhat grayish.

He could see mutant fish swimming not far away, and he could also see some furniture shapes in the room.

"I have evolved the ability of [night vision]!"

Liang Yuan was delighted. As expected, his [Evolution] ability worked again.

He felt more and more that his special ability was truly magical.

In terms of practicality, it is no worse than the ability to control water flow.

Even more so.

After entering the ninth floor, Liang Yuan found an unopened bag of cowpea seeds in room 901.

"It hasn't been opened yet. It's well sealed, so it should still be usable."

He smiled and put it into his inventory, then continued searching.

After searching this room, he went to the master bedroom and just opened the door.

Suddenly, a skeleton leaned against the window!
Liang Yuan's heart skipped a beat and he subconsciously reacted defensively.

However, there was nothing unusual about the bone.

When Liang Yuan walked in, he discovered that the skeleton was tied with ropes and its hands were handcuffed to the end of the bed. There was no flesh and blood on the skeleton, but there were signs of broken ribs on the chest.

Liang Yuan was silent. He could probably guess that the body had been tied to the bed and tortured before death.

Later, the flood came and no one came to collect the body, so he was left in this room forever.

The flesh on his body must have been eaten by the mutant creatures in the water.

This was a common occurrence during the period when Liu Erlong and his gang were acting tyrannically.

I’m afraid there will be a lot of dead bodies on the next few floors.

Liang Yuan sighed, walked around the corpse, and scanned the room, but found nothing valuable.

In fact, it is really difficult to find anything useful.

These rooms had been occupied by people before, and when the flood came, everything that could be taken away had already been taken away.

Some household appliances, bed boards and cabinets have been soaked in the flood and are no longer usable.

However, Liang Yuan still stuffed all the household appliances into the inventory.

"It's just soaked in water. I don't know if it can be used after drying it in the sun. Even if it can't be used, the parts inside might still be useful."

"Dong Yan's brother Dong Jie can generate electricity, maybe he can be useful in the future."

These electronic devices will be non-renewable resources until industrialization is fully restored in the future.

Liang Yuan is very clear that the more non-renewable a resource is, the higher its value will be in the future.

Liang Yuan continued to scan the building, collecting electronic products while observing the mutated creatures in the water.

The most common ones are naturally mutated fish. The deeper the water area, the larger the size of the mutated fish.

However, this situation underwent a significant qualitative change when we entered the fifth floor.

The smallest mutant fish at this water level is over one meter long.

The large mutant fish even reached seven or eight meters in length.

Liang Yuan looked out from a window on the fifth floor.

It was pitch black under the water, and even if he had evolved night vision, he couldn't see the whole picture clearly.

All I could see was a huge figure flashing by outside.

Liang Yuan blew out a few air bubbles and slowly extended his mental power.

Suddenly a giant fish swam through the range of his mental power.

Immediately afterwards, Liang Yuan felt a sharp pain in his mental strength.

His heart skipped a beat and he quickly withdrew his mental strength.

Wow!

An undercurrent rushed in from the bottom of the water, and Liang Yuan saw the black shadow suddenly hit the window.

Bang!
Bubbles rolled under the water, the walls shook, and large amounts of lime and cement fell off.

The suspended ceiling could not withstand the violent impact and rolled down in the water.

Fortunately, because of the buoyancy, they did not fall down, but floated in the water. The lighter ones floated on the top of the ceiling, while the heavier ones fell to the floor.

Liang Yuan quickly withdrew his mental strength, his expression extremely solemn.

"The mutant fish underwater are so huge. If two mutant creatures start fighting, can this building hold up?"

"If any of these mutant creatures hit us, they would probably be able to knock down a wall in a matter of minutes."

Liang Yuan sighed inwardly, this building really is no longer habitable.

The further we go, the more dangerous it will be.

If it is soaked in water for a long time, an undercurrent may destroy the entire building one day.

"And that huge mutant fish just now was able to sense my mental power detection."

"Is it a special case, or has their degree of mutation already involved the spiritual level?"

"If all the mutant creatures in the deep waters have such powerful spiritual powers, is it really possible for humans to regain their dominant position?"

Liang Yuan frowned. The ocean is boundless. Even before the great flood, humans had never truly explored the ocean.

No one knows how many mysterious creatures there are on the seabed.

In the deep sea, the water pressure is enormous. Before the Great Flood, human technology could not reach the deepest ocean.

Today, floods are raging, and the oceans are only becoming more limitless.

Marine life is constantly evolving, and no one knows what kind of mutations will appear in the future.

Liang Yuan walked past the fifth floor and was about to continue going downstairs.

Suddenly, I felt a tightness in my chest and my internal organs felt extremely uncomfortable.

"what happened!"
