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

Chapter 178 Sweeping the Underwater Area
"But even if we find it, I'm afraid we won't be able to get there in a short time. Guangfu is not close to us. It's a district away."

Ding Yan's excitement gradually calmed down, and she nodded and said, "You are right, Guangfu is too far away from here."

"Even if we have a boat, we still have to cross the district to get to Guangfu. There are more and more mutant creatures in the water, which is really dangerous."

Liang Yuan nodded: "Let's collect intelligence first and see if we can get in touch with the outside world, and then think of a way. The most urgent thing is to go to Yangshan and find a place to stay."

Ding Yan nodded immediately and said, "I have already told those women not to spread this matter to avoid causing unrest among the people."

Liang Yuan hummed: "You did the right thing. This news will be blocked for the time being."

While several people were talking, Dong Jie had already turned the tuning knob on the radio several times, but no valid signal could be heard from the radio except for noise.

"Brother Liang Yuan, no signal was found."

Liang Yuan frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "It seems that Wang Fang's [Radiation] ability really worked. Ordinary radios can't detect the so-called military signals here."

"What should we do then?" Ding Yan asked.

Liang Yuan shook his head: "There is no way for now. I think it has something to do with the weather. When we get back to the mountain, let's go to the top and try to see if we can find a signal."

"It can only be the."

Everyone's anxious and excited mood cooled down, and their emotions stabilized.

Liang Yuan chatted with a few more people and then left the radio with Dong Jie.

Tell him to search it if he has time, maybe he will find something unexpected.

After the two finished talking, Liang Yuan got up and left.

"While everyone is resting, let's go downstairs and take a look."

He went down from the 26th floor all the way to the flooded area.

This was the floor he and Gu Feng had climbed to. The water level had risen a little more at this time.

This time, Liang Yuan took the fire escape stairs and walked into the water.

After entering the water, he immediately activated his supernatural powers.

The heat flowed from his heart to behind his ears. Behind his ears, he developed organs for breathing underwater - gills!

After adapting for a while, Liang Yuan's mental power dissipated, and at the same time a protective film evolved on his eyes.

The further down you go, the darker the water becomes.

Floating objects can be seen everywhere, sinking and floating in the water, and objects with high density are deposited on the corridor.

Most items that have been soaked in water are no longer usable.

There were only some vacuum-packed or well-sealed items, so Liang Yuan stuffed them into the inventory.

The lower floors were all ordinary clothing stores, with many shells, crabs, and small mutant fish wandering around in the mall.

Clothes are something that, even if they get wet, can still be worn as long as they are not soaked for a long time.

These floors were only flooded in the past few days, so the quality of the clothes is pretty good.

Liang Yuan put all of them into his inventory.

But on the floors below, the clothes in most of the shops had faded, obviously because they had been soaked for too long.

These clothes are still wearable, but they certainly aren’t as good-looking as new ones.

Liang Yuan still accepted everyone who came and took them all away.

Before the industry recovers in the future, when the raw materials for the production of clothes are gone, they will probably have a certain value.

After walking down a few floors, Liang Yuan felt the change in underwater pressure. His special abilities were activated, and he transformed the pressure in his internal organs to adapt to underwater survival.

"Hey, this floor is the cosmetics area."

Liang Yuan couldn't help laughing as he looked at the dazzling array of cosmetics around him.

Naturally, no one cares about these things when they are hungry.

But once the problem of food and clothing is solved, things like clothes and cosmetics will inevitably usher in business opportunities.

Especially for women, the future is a world of superpowers where force is supreme.

If women do not awaken their special powers, they will most likely fall into the trap of entertaining others with their sex appeal.

Cosmetics and beautiful clothes will definitely become hot items at that time.

Liang Yuan quickly walked into a store called Dior. To be honest, he knew nothing about cosmetic brands.

A lot of cosmetics are in English and it’s hard to tell the difference.

Moreover, as a worker, all the money is used to pay the mortgage, so it is impossible for me to know much about such things.

Even if his girlfriend asks him to buy some cosmetics or something, he is only responsible for transferring the money.

So he really doesn't understand cosmetics.

But it doesn’t matter, the cosmetics that were out of my reach before are now readily available.

The display case was filled with all kinds of perfumes, lipsticks, lotions, etc., which were scattered all over the floor. Now he could put them into the inventory.

Besides this one, there are also Burberry, YSL and other miscellaneous stores next door.

He went in one by one, sweeping away all the sealed cosmetics.

It took nearly half an hour to clean up this floor.

Most of the time is spent on loading things.

“I used to find shopping tiring, but now I still feel so tired even though I don’t spend any money.”

Liang Yuan sighed, calmed himself down, and continued walking downstairs.

The floor downstairs is actually full of gold shops!

There are many old brands such as Chow Tai Fook and Lao Feng Xiang. In the display cabinets, a large number of gold jewelry are soaked in water, and no one is interested in them.

Liang Yuan's just tired mood suddenly became lively.

Men's love for gold seems to come from the bottom of their hearts.

He quickly began to sweep and put a large amount of gold into the system inventory.

What can I say about this? It is said that the world will be flooded and the money will become worthless.

But as the old saying goes, gold is valuable in troubled times, and antiques are valuable in prosperous times.

In the future, gold will probably still be hard currency.

This thing is not afraid of corrosion and has a stable molecular structure. It plays an important role in scientific research and other aspects.

Since ancient times, it has been an irreplaceable treasure.

Liang Yuan estimated that once everyone had solved the problem of food and clothing, if they wanted to trade again, they would have to find something to measure the value of the items.

Gold will probably become a currency unit again by then.

After plundering this layer of gold, Liang Yuan's face was full of smiles, and he was very satisfied with the harvest.

He walked to the window and looked outside.

It was pitch black in the flood, and we were already on the 6th floor.

His mental power was already able to detect the bottom of the water.

There was a lot of mud and sand piled up on the cement road over there, and in the darkness, the shadow of a giant creature flashed by.

Amid the undercurrent, you can see huge plants such as kelp and seaweed floating with the water.

In the dim light, there are straight street lamps standing in the middle.

Here, an environment similar to the deep sea has been formed.

I wonder how many mutant monsters are lurking in that dark algae forest.

Liang Yuan withdrew his mental strength and did not continue to explore the gloomy bottom of the water.

It was like a restricted area for humans, a place he could not easily visit for the time being.

He continued to dive and walked downstairs.

The three floors downstairs are all large-scale comprehensive supermarkets.

But unfortunately, all the edible things have been taken away.

Obviously, in the area of ​​the flood, Wang Weidong and others were not idle. They moved the supplies away as soon as possible.

Only some materials that were difficult to preserve were left, and now they have been completely soaked and deteriorated.

However, daily necessities such as shampoo, laundry detergent, toothpaste and toothbrushes are still on the shelves.

Liang Yuan immediately started the mopping-up mode and quickly began to collect supplies.

After visiting this three-story supermarket, there was nothing left in the fresh food, seafood and other areas.

Liang Yuan simply gave up and went straight to the next floor.

The second to last floor is a sports equipment store, which sells a lot of sports equipment, such as footballs and basketballs.

Liang Yuan didn't hesitate and took them all away.

The first floor has many car shops and sample cars parked.

What about BYD, Huawei, Weilai, Xiaomi...

Liang Yuan thought about it and put all the cars into the inventory.

Maybe one day I can use the parts inside.

After sweeping the entire building, his supernatural energy was almost exhausted.

Liang Yuan hurried back quickly.

When he returned to the surface, he was surprised to find that half a day had passed. When he returned to the 26th floor, Liang Yuan saw that many of the owners who had been lying on the ground to rest had regained their mobility.

However, their strength seemed to have not yet fully recovered, and the survivors of Hang Lung Building spontaneously helped the owners of Mido Garden.

It can be seen that the survivors of Hang Lung Building are trying hard to integrate into the group of survivors of Midu Garden.

The survivors of Midu Garden did not have much resentment towards these people. They also learned from the patrol captains that these people were just ordinary people who were bullied by Wang Weidong's gang.

Looking at these cautious survivors of the Hang Lung Building who wanted to blend in with them, everyone seemed to see their former selves.

For a moment, a feeling of sympathy arose in everyone's hearts, and it was easy for everyone to accept these poor people.

The captains of each patrol team brought back rice, mutant dried fish, instant noodles and other supplies from Yangmei and distributed them to the owners under the jurisdiction of each team.

With the help of the survivors from Hang Lung Building, the owners started cooking on the spot.

Suddenly, the entire building became bustling with activity. Under the warm light of the mutant sunflower, the scene seemed unusually cozy and peaceful.

Many survivors of the Hang Lung Building looked at the rising fire and listened to the people in Midu Garden chatting and laughing. For a moment, they felt a little dazed, as if they had returned to the time before the flood.

When did such peaceful communication between people become what they most yearn for?

When Wang Weidong ruled the Hang Lung Building, everyone lived in fear.

The men were afraid that if they said something wrong they would be beaten up by the security team.

Women are even afraid to go out alone, as they may be taken to remote places and raped by strangers at any time.

Like now, chatting and laughing in front of so many strangers.

This is something I haven't experienced in half a year.

Some psychologically fragile girls suddenly covered their faces and started crying.

When one person started crying, the other women started crying too.

The men in Hang Lung Building also had red eyes.

Huang Han, who was cooking, saw the girl beside her crying and asked quickly, "Hey, why are you crying for no reason?"

The girl was not very old, only about eighteen or nineteen years old, and should still be of school age, but she dropped out of school early to work in the restaurant.

Trapped in the building and experiencing inhuman torture, his fragile heart was moved by the warm atmosphere and burst into tears.

Huang Han hurriedly tried to comfort her, but the girl seemed to have found an outlet and started crying while hugging her.

This caught Huang Han off guard, and she looked at an elderly middle-aged woman next to her in panic.

The middle-aged woman also wiped her tears and said, "Captain Huang, let her cry for a while. It's been a long time since we met such a nice person like you."

Huang Han suddenly fell silent. She began to understand these people's mentality.

Thinking back to when she was trapped in her own home in Building 76, she could hear someone banging on the door every day.

If the golden python had not appeared several times and scared away those people, she couldn't imagine what kind of tragic ending she would have.

It was not until Mr. Liang killed Liu Erlong, killed Wang Ze and other evil people, and took over Building 76 that she truly realized the importance of peace and order.

Thinking of this, she looked up and around, and suddenly saw Liang Yuan who had just returned, and a smile appeared on her face.

"In fact, the one you should really thank is him."

The middle-aged woman and the waitress subconsciously looked up and followed her gaze.

"he is?"

"Mr. Liang, Mr. Liang Yuan." Huang Han said.

There was a hint of respect and admiration in her expression.

"If it weren't for him, I and all of us would probably be living a worse life than you."

"You guys were in the Hang Lung Building, and you still had plenty of food. But at that time, we were completely out of food and ammunition, and we could be bullied to death by the bad guys at any time."

"It was Mr. Liang. He rescued us from that dire situation."

"I will never forget the day he knocked on my door and saw me for the first time. He realized that I was scared. That was not a threat, but concern."

Huang Han smiled and recalled the past. She couldn't help but feel that things and people had changed a lot, as if a long time had passed.

Wu Ying, Wang An and others standing by couldn't help but reveal reminiscing expressions.

When I think about my past self and compare it to my current life, it has truly been a complete change.

Similar scenes kept occurring among the survivors of Mido Garden and Hang Lung Building.

Invisibly, Liang Yuan's image was established among all the survivors of Hang Lung Building.

His prestige is also constantly increasing with the praise from the owners of Midu Garden.

Liang Yuan naturally didn't care about these things. He walked around the crowd and quickly returned to the shop where Yang Mei and the others were.

Yangmei has fully recovered.

After all, she has awakened her mutant abilities and her physical fitness exceeds that of ordinary people. This toxin can be decomposed much faster than that of ordinary people.

"Little brother, you're back. Are you hungry? I cooked."

As she said that, she pulled Liang Yuan into the store.

However, I saw that several dishes had already been placed on the table, including pickled fish, scrambled eggs with ham, fried peanuts, cold-mixed black fungus, etc.

The rice was also served piping hot.

Liang Yuan was surprised, and then he noticed that Dong Jie was putting his hands on the rice cooker to power it.

The induction cooker next to it had just stopped working and was still emitting steam.

Obviously, this little guy was used as a power source.

"Xiao Jie, come and have dinner. You've worked hard. Oh, and why do you have pickled fish?"

Liang Yuan asked with a smile.

Yang Mei also laughed and said, "It's the peppercorns that we found on the 24th floor. We always ate grilled fish and braised fish before. I thought you might be tired of them, so I made this pickled fish to change the taste. You can try it."

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "I don't even need to eat what you cook to know it's definitely delicious."

Yangmei's eyes suddenly turned into crescents when she smiled.

She invited Dong Yan, Dong Jie, Ding Yan, Zhao Kai, and Liu Feifei to come and eat together.

Zhao Kai wanted to say something polite, but Liang Yuan said directly: "Go and call Dr. Yang, Shi Haizhu, and Gu Feng over as well."

Zhao Kai then gave up and went to call for help.

This time, Lao Ma, Cai Zhi and others were not invited to the meal.

Firstly, they are weak and have not fully recovered yet, so they can only eat light meals.

Secondly, all those gathered here have made contributions this time.

This meal can be considered a reward for everyone.

"Mr. Liang, I heard from Zhao Kai that the raft is still there?"

At the dinner table, Yang Shenmin took a bite of food and quickly asked the most crucial question.

Liang Yuan nodded and smiled, "It's still there. When I came back, I found that the raft was not damaged, so I hid it."

Yang Shenmin heaved a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face: "It's good that it's still there, it's good that it's still there, otherwise we'll have to spend a lot of effort to make a new one next time."

"It's okay to make a new one." Shi Haizhu couldn't help but say.

Yang Shenmin was speechless and said, "Do you think it's easy to make a raft? Besides, do you know how much time is wasted in the process?"

"With the current water level, there are already giant octopus monsters more than ten meters long in the water. As the water level continues to rise, who knows what other monsters will appear. How can we deal with them?"

Yang Shenmin could see it quite clearly. He knew very well that the mutant creatures in the water became stronger as they went further.

Staying in the building would definitely be a dead end.

The only way is to go to a higher mountain.

Shi Haizhu didn't think too much and blurted out: "With Mr. Liang here, what's the matter with the octopus monster, right Mr. Liang?"

Liang Yuan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Doctor Yang is right. It's better for us to get to Yangshan earlier."

"Firstly, the mutant creatures in the flood are getting stronger and stronger. Secondly, I'm worried that there won't be much vacant space left in Yangshan."

"Go there early, maybe there will be room and the competition won't be so fierce."

Yang Shenmin nodded continuously: "Mr. Liang is right, this is also very important. Yangshan is not a high mountain. Strictly speaking, it can only be regarded as a hill, and the living space is limited."

"I've also been to Yangshan. There are villa areas and other residential areas nearby. Although the population density is not high, there are definitely quite a few people, and there are also local villagers at the foot of the mountain nearby."

"These people will definitely migrate to the mountains early to occupy advantageous positions."

"It's better for us to get there as soon as possible."

Ding Yan and others also nodded, agreeing with this statement.

Liang Yuan also smiled and said, "Let's see how everyone recovers tomorrow. I'll ask Lao Ma and Cai Zhi to check the raft. If there are no problems, we'll set off as soon as possible."

"Well, I propose a toast to wish us a smooth journey ahead."

Zhao Kai suddenly took out a few bottles of beer from behind and said with a laugh.

Ding Yan asked in surprise: "Where did the beer come from?"

Zhao Kai smiled and said, "I found it in the restaurant downstairs. I chilled it. Come, try it."

Shi Haizhu was full of excitement: "I never thought I could drink wine at this time, Zhao Kai, your frost ability is so useful, this wine tastes so good."

Everyone burst into laughter and enjoyed the meal happily.
