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

Chapter 181 The Island That Should Not Exist

This was the first time Zhou Ye encountered such a situation, so he had no choice but to turn into a laborer and help row the boat.

With five people together, the raft's speed increased a lot.

Even though they are all people with special abilities, it is impossible for them to persist for a long time in such high-intensity physical work as paddling given their physical conditions.

After all, none of them are psychics with strong physical strength.

Zhou Qingming couldn't help but said, "Brother Hua, this is not a solution."

Li Qinghua looked up speechlessly at Liang Yuan and others in front of him, who were almost the size of a fist.

"Hold on a little longer, the island isn't far away."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qingming could only grit his teeth and nod, and the few of them continued to row.

About two minutes later, Zhou Ye looked at him with super vision and suddenly showed joy: "They slowed down!"

Li Qinghua also laughed: "It seems that they have discovered the island."

"Let's go, follow them and see if they go up."

The few of them continued rowing, and sure enough, after a few hundred meters, they saw a small island floating above the flood ahead.

The island was not too big, probably about the size of two football fields, and was covered with green weeds and trees.

The trees are short, none are particularly tall.

There are no artificial buildings on it. From a distance, it looks like a small earthen hillock, about fifty or sixty meters above the water surface.

It just floated quietly on the water. There was no one around. The nearest tall building was about a thousand meters away from it.

On the raft, Liang Yuan and others looked at the island in surprise.

He turned his head to look at Yang Mei beside him and asked, "Sister Mei, didn't you say there were no mountains nearby? Where did this mountain come from?"

Yang Mei was also stunned and shook her head, "That's impossible. I don't remember there being a mountain here. Where is this?"

There were no obvious landmarks nearby and no one knew where it was.

Lao Ma and the others were also surprised. Lao Ma turned around and looked at Liang Yuan, saying, "It's strange, why is there a mountain here? And I really can't remember how high it is."

"Is there a map? Who has the map?" Yang Shenmin also shouted hurriedly.

Liang Yuan had already taken out the map and said, "Come and take a look. I have studied this area on the map for no less than ten times, and I haven't found any hillsides near the Hang Lung Building."

Ding Yan and others gathered together, everyone widened their eyes and started looking for it on the map.

However, after searching again and again, I really didn't find any hillside nearby.

"Is it because the altitude is too low and not drawn on the map?" Lao Ma couldn't help but ask.

Ding Yan couldn't help but frown: "This height is much higher than an ordinary 32-story building. How could it not be recorded on the map?"

"Why don't we go over and take a look? There are a lot of green plants there. Maybe there will be mutant fruits." Song Wen couldn't help but speak.

When she saw the lush green plants, she felt particularly close to them and couldn't help but speak.

Liang Yuan glanced at her and naturally understood what she meant.

When Zhao Kai and others heard about the mutant fruit, they all showed excitement.

Especially Lao Ma, Cai Zhi and others. They have followed Liang Yuan for so long, but have not yet awakened their mutant abilities. It would be a lie to say that they are not anxious.

They were of course excited about the possibility of finding mutant fruits.

Not only them, but also Wu Ying, Wang An, Huang Han, Zhang Peng, Wen Lili and other patrol members were also looking forward to it.

But no one spoke, but looked at Liang Yuan eagerly.

They knew very well that Liang Yuan was the one who decided whether to land on the island.

Liang Yuan saw this scene, but frowned slightly and said: "Everyone, if something is abnormal, there must be something wrong. The appearance of this island is too strange."

"Not only can I not find it on the map, I can't even see similar terrain on the offline map on my phone. I'm worried there's something wrong."

Ding Yan couldn't help but nodded: "I think there is a problem too. We should be careful."

Yang Shenmin didn't say anything, but nodded in agreement.

Taoist Lin was calm and composed, not caring about this.

Anyway, he has already awakened his superpowers, so whether there are mutant fruits on this island is of little interest to him.

However, Zhu Linlin beside him became excited. Liang Minru and Yu Xiaoyan beside her whispered something in her ear, which made her quite excited.

Then she pulled on Lin Laodao's sleeve and whispered, "Master Lin, do you think there are mutant fruits on it? If there are, if I eat a mutant fruit, I might be able to awaken some powerful superpowers, and then I won't be a burden to you."

Taoist Lin touched her butt with a lecherous look, and whispered, "This island is not small, as big as a football field. I think we should be able to find one or two mutant fruits."

"Then why don't we go up?" Zhu Linlin was anxious and said quickly: "The more people we have who awaken their mutant abilities, the greater our power will be."

Taoist Lin shook his head: "I can't make the decision. Without Liang Yuan's nod, the raft won't come over."

"Master, I see everyone wants to go up, why don't you try to persuade Mr. Liang?" Zhu Linlin said hurriedly.

Taoist Lin shook his head: "Don't do that. The first bird to stick its head out gets shot. I didn't contribute much in the last fight with Wang Weidong and his gang. It's better not to try to make a name for yourself now."

Although he is a shameless old pervert, he still has some intelligence.

Naturally, he would not show up at this time and cause trouble for Liang Yuan.

Zhu Linlin's face was full of disappointment, and Liang Minru and Yu Xiaoyan beside her were also a little anxious.

If they could awaken their mutant abilities and become superpowers, they wouldn't have to bother with other people's feelings or rely on Lin Laodao, a middle-aged scoundrel.

There are many people who have this idea, and basically many people want to go to the island to check the situation.

Cai Zhi finally couldn't help it, he couldn't help but said: "Liang Yuan, how about this, we don't have to go all up, send a few people up to investigate the situation, wouldn't it be better?"

"If there is no danger, we can go up together and see if there are any mutant fruits."

His words immediately prompted all those who wanted to go to the island to look for opportunities to obtain mutant fruits to speak up.

"Mr. Liang, what Captain Cai Zhi said makes sense. Let's get a few people to go up and take a look, and explore the way first."

"This is a good idea, Mr. Liang. It's a reliable idea."

"Mr. Liang, please make an idea."

……

Facing everyone's request, Liang Yuan thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, but who's willing to go up?"

He knew very well that cutting off someone's financial resources was like killing his parents.

If there really is an opportunity for awakening up there, and I stop everyone, then everyone will definitely hold a grudge against me.

Of course he didn't care about this kind of resentment, but since he wanted to establish his own power, these people had to be loyal to him.

So he weighed the pros and cons and felt that what Cai Zhi said was indeed right. It was not necessary for everyone to go up. Wouldn't it be better to find a few people to explore the way?

He looked at everyone and asked who was willing to go up.

Everyone was silent for a moment, but soon after, Wu Ying was the first to raise her hand: "I'll go! Mr. Liang, I want to go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Cai Zhi immediately raised his hand: "I'm going too, Liang Yuan, count me in."

Cai Zhi's wife Wu Qian hurriedly pulled him aside and asked anxiously, "Are you going to die?"

Cai Zhi's eyes were firm, and he said, "Let me go! If we can't become superpowers, no matter how Liang Yuan takes care of us, we will gradually leave the core circle in the future."

After he finished speaking in a low voice, he looked at Liang Yuan with a pleading look in his eyes.

Liang Yuan naturally understood what he meant, sighed in his heart, and nodded slightly.

In fact, in many recent battles, veteran team members such as Cai Zhi and Lao Ma have been unable to help.

They can only be busy with some logistical work, and gradually become more and more distant from the core team.

Marginalization is inevitable.

This is not something he can decide subjectively, it really depends on their personal abilities.

For example, at the celebration banquet at Hang Lung Building last night, he invited all those who had made contributions in this battle.

You can't call Lao Ma and Cai Zhi for no reason, what will Yang Shenmin, Shi Haizhu and others think? Cai Zhi naturally also felt this sense of crisis, which is why he made such an urgent request today.

As soon as Cai Zhigang finished speaking, Lao Ma immediately raised his hand and shouted, "Xiao Liang, count me in."

Liang Yuan was stunned. Cai Zhi was in his forties and still able to fight. But Lao Ma was in his fifties and was not as strong as him.

If there is really danger on this island, I am afraid that Lao Ma’s physical strength will most likely be eliminated.

Liang Yuan took a deep look at Lao Ma and asked, "Are you sure?"

"Well, Xiao Liang, if I have any problems, could you please take care of your Aunt Li?" Old Ma nodded, and then couldn't help but said in a low voice.

Liang Yuan sighed and nodded, "Don't worry, Aunt Li won't starve with me."

"Haha, I feel relieved with your words."

Seeing that both of them were so eager to go to the island, Liang Yuan simply didn't stop them.

He turned around and said to everyone, "Ask the people below if anyone is willing to go to the island and try their luck."

"Whoever can find the mutant fruit will be at their disposal."

The captains all nodded and went down to select those who were willing to go to the island.

Liang Yuan then said to Cai Zhi, "The raft should stop here and prepare to put out the paddle board."

"it is good."

Cai Zhi nodded immediately and turned off the raft propeller.

The raft slowly stopped, and the captains of each patrol team pulled out paddles from both sides of the raft.

Liang Yuan found a lot of these paddling boards in the Hang Lung Building. Two or three people can easily stand on one board.

Soon, the captains of each team came with people who volunteered to explore the island.

Liang Yuan looked around and was a little surprised that there were quite a few people.

In addition to Wu Ying's team, Cai Zhi, Lao Ma and others, there are also Lu Dayou, Liang Minru, Yu Xiaoyan, Hu Weimin, Zhang Peng, Wen Lili and others who Liang Yuan left a deep impression on.

He took a quick look and found that there were more than forty people in the group!

This is already one third of the total number of people on the raft!
Liang Yuan thought that many people would be tempted and want to find the mutant fruit.

But I didn't expect so many people would be attracted to it.

"Have you...really decided? I don't know how many mutant fruits there are on this island, but there may be unknown risks. Do you really want to risk your lives?"

He couldn't help but ask.

There was determination in the eyes of these dozens of people.

Wu Ying looked at Huang Han beside him. He knew that if he couldn't become a superpower, he would never have the chance to get close to this girl, so he wanted to give it a try.

Huang Han didn’t think too much about it, she just looked at her golden python.

After the golden python mutated and awakened, it became spiritual and seemed to be able to vaguely understand some of her commands.

But she was not willing to leave it like this, she wanted to awaken her mutant abilities.

It would be best if I could awaken the ability to communicate with Dahuang.

In this world, perhaps Da Huang is the only life she can trust the most.

Wang An stared at the little girl that Aunt Li was holding. This was his daughter.

In this flood-affected world, how could he protect his daughter without any mutant abilities?
So he entrusted his daughter to Aunt Li, a party member, and told his daughter that if he couldn't come back this time, he would let Aunt Li be her godmother.

Aunt Li looked at Lao Ma who joined the team with tears in her eyes.

As his wife, she knows best what Lao Ma is thinking.

She knew that Lao Ma went to the island not necessarily to find an opportunity for himself to awaken, but to find a mutant fruit for her so that she could awaken her mutant ability, improve her physical fitness, and completely cure her diabetes.

Another person who has the same idea as Wang An is Lu Dayou.

He looked at Lu Yuyan who was beside Dong Yan, and his eyes changed from loving to firm.

"No matter what, I must find a mutant fruit for Yuyan this time."

"Only by eating the mutant fruit and awakening her mutant abilities can she survive in this world."

"Only in this way can she survive even without me as her father..."

Wen Lili and Zhang Peng stood together. Wen Lili's eyes were a little red, while Zhang Peng stood beside her with a silly smile.

"I've already told you that you don't have to go. I want the mutant fruit myself, so I can go by myself." Wen Lili sighed.

Zhang Peng couldn't help but said, "Didn't we agree that no matter what the future holds, I'll go wherever you go."

"Besides, you are getting better and better. If you awaken your mutant ability in the future, and I am still an ordinary ability user, the gap between us will become bigger and bigger..."

Wen Lili immediately glared at him: "Zhang Peng, what do you mean? Do you think I will break up with you just because I awakened my mutant ability?"

Her eyes turned red and she said angrily, "Is that how much you think of me?"

Zhang Peng waved his hands quickly: "No, no, I'm just worried that I won't be worthy of you in the future. You know, the world has changed and become unreasonable. If I were an ordinary person and you are a superpower, I would embarrass you."

"What will other people think of you? I don't want to hold you back."

"Lili, just let me go with you."

Wen Lili sniffed through her nose, and finally snorted, saying, "Then you should listen to me when the time comes, and don't run around."

"You are a reckless person. Mr. Liang and his men said that something strange might be wrong with the island. We must be careful."

"I understand, I understand." Zhang Peng was overjoyed and nodded quickly.

……

Such scenes are played out among these people.

Liang Yuan saw it and felt deeply moved.

This group of people could choose to follow him out of Midu Garden and head towards Yangshan, risking their lives.

This is enough to show their character. They are a group of people who have a sense of crisis and dare to take risks and fight hard.

There are countless green vegetation on this island today, so the probability of mutant plants appearing is naturally very high.

They are all unwilling to be ordinary people and have reasons to take risks.

Liang Yuan finally nodded and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, I am sure that there was absolutely no such mountain here before the great flood."

“So there must be something strange about this sudden appearance of the mountain.”

"But since you are all determined to go up and explore and adventure, and look for mutant fruits, I naturally cannot stop you."

"Your life is your own. Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are determined by heaven."

"I can only sincerely wish you all a good harvest. Go ahead."

Everyone looked at each other, and Lu Dayou couldn't help but shout, "Mr. Liang, whether there is any gain or not, I, Lu Dayou, thank you. It is you who has provided the owners of the 76 buildings with a safe and happy living environment, and it is you who has pulled everyone out of the dire situation."

"No matter what others think, I, Lu Dayou, respect you and obey you. Even if I awaken mutant abilities in the future, as long as you don't despise me, I will still follow you!"

Others also shouted and expressed their opinions.

Liang Yuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "I am very happy that everyone has this intention. Okay, it's getting late. We can't stay here for too long. Let's go."

Everyone then set off and headed for the paddle boards.

As the paddle boards were launched into the water, everyone carefully approached the green island.

Liang Yuan stood on the second floor of raft No. 1 and watched this scene.

Of course he would not risk going to the island. With the system panel in place, wouldn't it be stupid to risk his life to do such a thing?
As long as he is given time, he will accumulate countless points sooner or later.

By then, what about the mutant fruit?
He can draw as many as he wants.

Is it worth taking the risk?
