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

Chapter 184 Lu Dayou and the Strange Stone Forest
Looking at this pile of protein, Liang Yuan didn't care about anything else. He just waved his hand and stuffed all the snail meat into the inventory.

Then he quickly turned around and looked towards Yang Shenmin and Shi Haizhu.

However, to Liang Yuan's surprise, the two of them had already escaped.

It turned out that Yang Shenmin was holding a dagger, and with the blessing of the [Sharpness] ability, the dagger emitted a sharp light of several feet.

With two swipes, the originally tough snail tentacles were cut off by him.

He and Shi Haizhu then escaped and followed the vines controlled by Song Wen, quickly climbing up to the haystack where Song Wen was.

The two were still in shock, and Shi Haizhu couldn't help but curse: "What the hell is this?"

Yang Shenmin sat on the grass and looked towards Liang Yuan and the others.

At this moment Liang Yuan had already finished with the snail.

He looked at this scene and couldn't help but say, "It looks like a snail."

Shi Haizhu was shocked: "Snail over one meter tall? Did these snails eat swelling agent? Why did they grow so big?"

Yang Shenmin smiled bitterly: "The octopus has mutated to a size of tens of meters, so what's so strange about the snail growing to more than one meter tall?"

Song Wen looked at Liang Yuan and Ding Yan, and was relieved to see that they were fine.

Hearing Yang Shenmin's sigh, she couldn't help but complain: "Why do I feel like we humans are the slowest to evolve?"

Yang Shenmin shook his head: "It's not that we humans evolve slowly, it's that we joined the evolutionary mutation team too late."

"We only began to awaken and mutate after the great flood."

"But these creatures that live in water are the first to come into contact with mutation and evolution."

Shi Haizhu and Song Wen both nodded, thinking it made sense.

Indeed, it is not human beings’ fault that they are not strong enough. It is just that human beings joined the evolutionary race too late and fell behind too much.

Yang Shenmin looked up at Liang Yuan and sighed, "When it comes to fast evolution, who can compare to Mr. Liang?"

"He is the most powerful psychic I have ever seen."

Shi Haizhu couldn't help but say, "Yes, Mr. Liang is not only good at mental power, but also very strong and fast. I really don't know what superpower he has awakened."

Song Wen pursed her lips, feeling somewhat happy.

Because she knew what superpower Liang Yuan had awakened, but no one else knew.

Liang Yuan and Ding Yan confirmed that Song Wen and the others were safe, so they breathed a sigh of relief and quickly moved Wang Xiaoli's body onto the paddle board.

The two checked and Ding Yan shook her head solemnly: "No breathing."

Liang Yuan sighed and asked, "Does he have any family?"

Ding Yan nodded slightly: "His wife is on the raft. I remember her name is Liu Meifang."

Liang Yuan recalled that there seemed to be such a young woman, who was quite good-looking and was in Liu Feifei's team.

Liang Yuan sighed and said, "Let's leave the body here for now. Let's go rescue the others first."

"it is good!"

Ding Yan nodded, and the two of them simply wrapped the body and placed it on the paddle board to prevent it from falling into the mud again.

If I have the chance, I might come back to help collect his body.

Liang Yuan looked around and saw nothing but grass and trees, making it difficult to see what was going on in the distance.

He immediately shouted to Song Wen on the meadow, "Song Wen, can you go to a higher place to check the surroundings? I just heard a cry for help in front of us."

Song Wen nodded quickly and said, "I'll try."

After saying this, she controlled the plants around her and continuously lifted up the meadow under her feet.

Her figure was also rising with the tide, constantly climbing towards the sky.

Soon, she had risen four or five meters and looked ahead.

But I saw an obviously bare area in front of me.

There isn't much grass or trees there, it seems to be just protruding rocks.

Song Wen saw that there were already more than a dozen people gathered there, seemingly digging something.

She quickly called out, "Brother Liang, over there, it seems like a lot of people are digging rocks."

Liang Yuan was surprised: "Digging stones?"

Yang Shenmin asked, "Could it be a supernatural stone?"

Liang Yuan's heart moved slightly, and he said, "Go and take a look."

Song Wen nodded and said, "Follow me."

Liang Yuan and Ding Yan immediately jumped up and jumped onto the meadow.

Immediately afterwards, Song Wen took a step forward, and the grass and trees in front of her grew rapidly, forming turf and covered with mud.

Several people stepped on the soft grass, but they did not sink into the quagmire.

Yang Shenmin couldn't help but say: "Song Wen, your special ability is really suitable for display here."

Shi Haizhu couldn't help but say: "This ability is really great. When we go to Yangshan, can't we use it to grow crops?"

Song Wen also laughed: "My goal is to grow enough vegetables so that everyone can have green vegetables to eat."

Shi Haizhu laughed and said, "Then you are really going to make a fortune. There is a big flood now, and there are fish and shrimps everywhere. There is no shortage of meat. On the contrary, these vegetables are very valuable."

Yang Shenmin looked at Liang Yuan and said, "Mr. Liang, what do you think of this island?"

Hearing this, everyone looked at Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan naturally understood what Yang Shenmin meant. It was obvious that Yang Shenmin was thinking about occupying this hillside.

Liang Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Of course this place is good, but there are too many unknown monsters. We have to survey it from beginning to end to see if it is suitable for living."

"Another thing is that although there are a lot of plants and trees here, there are not many things that can be built into a wooden house. The materials are still a little scarce."

"There is another very important question that we haven't figured out: how did this island appear?"

"I really can't rest assured until this issue is clarified."

His words made Yang Shenmin nod and said, "These are indeed big problems. We need to investigate them thoroughly."

"We still know too little about this place, let's go check on the others first."

After walking a short distance forward, I found the person calling for help.

There were two men, one of whom was an old acquaintance, Lu Dayou!
He is the father of Lu Yuyan, the mute girl who was bullied by Sun Xu.

Lu Dayou and another young man were stuck in a quagmire.

Lu Dayou was lucky because there was a bush nearby. He held on to the branches of the bush tightly. His palms were scratched by the thorns of the bush, but he still didn't dare to let go.

Half of his body was stuck in the mud, up to his waist.

The young man next to him was desperately grabbing his belt, and the mud had already reached the young man's chest.

The young man was pale and terrified, and he kept shouting, "Help, help!"

Lu Dayou was furious. He yelled for help and cursed, "Don't move, don't move anymore. The faster you move in the swamp, the deeper you sink."

"Fuck, I shouldn't have come down to save you, stop pulling me!"

Lu Dayou cursed loudly, his face turning red with anger.

The young man wouldn't listen at all. At this time, anything he could hold in his hand would be his life-saving straw.

He grabbed Lu Dayou's waistband and pulled hard, trying to pull himself out of the quagmire.

Fortunately, they were at the edge of the swamp, and there seemed to be no mutant snails under the mud.

Otherwise, they would not have had time to call for help and would have been swallowed up by the quagmire.

At the moment, the two were struggling and calling for help, but they were not sinking very fast.

Lu Dayou was extremely anxious. He grabbed onto the bushes and tried desperately to crawl forward.

But the mud was like glue, sticking to his legs tightly. If he exerted force, his whole body would sink immediately.

With the pull from the young man behind him, he couldn't climb up at all, and instead kept sinking down.

Liang Yuan and his team rushed over, saw this scene, and immediately started to rescue.

"Uncle Lu, hold on." Song Wen shouted quickly.

Her hands glowed green, and her supernatural powers quickly spread out, causing the branches of the surrounding bushes to grow wildly.

In the blink of an eye, many thick and strong branches grew out.

When Lu Dayou and the young man saw this, they were both surprised and delighted.

The young man immediately let go of Lu Dayou, grabbed a thick branch, and climbed up with all his strength.

The same went for Lu Dayou. Without the young man dragging him, he was faster and quickly turned over and climbed onto the branch.

Then, under Song Wen's manipulation, the branches were quickly retracted and dragged the two of them to the shore.

As soon as he got ashore, Lu Dayou was so angry that he turned over and sat on the young man, slapping him twice in the face.

"Damn it, I saved you with good intentions, but you almost killed me!"

"I told you to let go, didn't you hear me?"

"If I climb up, won't I think of other ways to save you? Fuck you, you bastard, are you afraid that I will climb up?"

"Oh, oh, Uncle Lu, I didn't, that's not what I meant. Am I not scared too?"

The young man covered his head, shrank his body, and begged for mercy again and again.

He knew he was in the wrong, so he didn't dare to fight back.

Lu Dayou was extremely angry. He had been trying to rescue this bastard with great kindness, but was nearly killed by him.

After Liang Yuan and his companions got ashore, Lu Dayou stopped and hurried to Liang Yuan.

Without saying anything, he kowtowed to them and said, "Mr. Liang, Miss Song, Miss Ding, thank you, thank you for saving me." "Mr. Liang, you saved me again, I really don't know how to repay you, I kowtow to you, thank you, thank you."

He kowtowed several times, and Liang Yuan pulled him up and said, "Uncle Lu, hurry up, what's going on with you two? Why are you here?"

Lu Dayou showed an angry look, pointed at the young man and said, "Mr. Liang, I was just about to say that I went to the island with this kid. I thought he was a brave man for daring to go to the island and try his luck."

"But I never thought that this bastard is nothing."

"We walked to this swamp together. Just now there was a glowing plant over there with a fruit on it."

"We both rushed over and tried to pick the fruit."

"He was young, so he picked the fruits first. That's okay. I ran slower, so I'll just accept the result."

"At worst I can just keep looking. Who would have thought that two people would suddenly stop us. One of them snatched the fruit away, and the bastard was kicked into the mud."

"I saw that the situation was not good, so I stopped immediately and watched those two people take away the mutant fruit."

"The bastard begged me to save him. I couldn't bear to see him being swallowed by the swamp, so I found a way to get a stick and handed it to him, trying to pull him out."

"I never thought that he would pull me down with his strength."

"I could have climbed up by grabbing the bushes near the shore, but this bastard desperately grabbed my belt to save his life."

"If you hadn't come, I'm afraid I would never see my daughter again."

Speaking of this, Lu Dayou's eyes turned red, and he felt angry and aggrieved.

I am in my forties and I was so angry that tears were about to fall.

Liang Yuan's face darkened slightly. He turned to look at the young man and shouted, "Is what he said true?"

The young man turned pale with fear, and quickly got up and said, "Mr. Liang, that's not the case. I was too scared at the time, and I don't know what happened. Something grabbed me, and I wouldn't let it go even if I died."

"I really didn't mean to harm Uncle Lu. I just wanted to survive."

He then kowtowed to Lu Dayou and cried, "Uncle Lu, please believe me, I really didn't think about anything, I just did it subconsciously."

"Please, I know I was wrong. I really couldn't control myself at that time."

"I am a bastard, I am a beast, I am not a human being. Please be magnanimous and forgive me this time."

He slapped himself hard several times.

Looks like he really regrets it.

Liang Yuan frowned, unable to tell whether the young man was pretending or really knew he was wrong.

Yang Shenmin spoke up at this time: "Mr. Liang, this is indeed a matter of human instinct."

"It's just like drowning. Once you fall into the water, you will do everything you can to grab anything that can save your life."

Liang Yuan heard this and looked at the young man.

The young man nodded continuously: "Yes, yes, instinct, it really is instinct, I really just acted subconsciously."

Yang Shenmin suddenly said, "But this is not water, this is a swamp."

"The water will easily let you sink, without giving you time to think calmly."

"But in the swamp, as long as you don't move around, you still have time to think. I don't believe you haven't calmed down after being in there for so long."

Yang Shenmin's words made the young man pale. He explained anxiously, "I really didn't think much about it. Really, Doctor Yang, please believe me."

Liang Yuan said coldly: "Okay, I don't care what you think. Uncle Lu helped you this time, and the mutant fruit belongs to him. Do you have any objection?"

"Ah? Then...that fruit is not with me." The young man said in surprise.

Liang Yuan said: "I know, if you find another mutant fruit later, you have to give one to Uncle Lu."

"This……"

The young man hesitated for a moment, but saw that Liang Yuan and the others were staring at him.

He had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Liang Yuan patted Lu Dayou on the shoulder and said, "Uncle Lu, this island is not safe. There are many mutant creatures. I advise you to go back."

Hearing this, Lu Dayou sighed and shook his head: "Mr. Liang, I can't go back. If I hadn't seen the mutant fruit, I might have been persuaded by you now."

"But I just saw the mutant fruit, and I was so close to it, I really can't convince myself to go back."

"You know my situation. Yanran can't speak or hear anything. Without me, it would be difficult for her to survive."

"In this apocalyptic time of the great flood, I can't guarantee when I will die."

"Before I die, I want her to be able to protect herself."

"Mutated fruit, I really can't give up."

He looked determined, and his eyes said it all.

Liang Yuan could only sigh and patted him on the shoulder after hearing this: "Okay, since you have made up your mind, I won't persuade you anymore."

"Anyway, just be careful."

Lu Dayou smiled and said, "Don't worry, my life is cheap and I won't die."

Liang Yuan couldn't laugh, and asked instead: "Who are those two people who stole your mutant fruit? What do they look like?"

When this was mentioned, Lu Dayou showed anger on his face and said, "A young man, a security guard wearing a security uniform, seems to be a security guard of Hang Lung Building."

When Liang Yuan heard it, he immediately knew who it was.

Ding Yan immediately said: "They are already here."

Yang Shenmin showed a worried look and immediately asked Lu Dayou: "Brother Lu, have you seen a girl in her twenties named Tang Ying? She is about this tall."

He gestured and Lu Dayou immediately remembered who it was.

"Are you asking about the little girl who rescued people on the raft with Miss Song Wen?"

"She left with Cai Zhi, Lao Ma and the others."

Upon hearing this, Yang Shenmin quickly asked, "Which direction?"

Lu Dayou pointed to the center of the island and said, "That's over there."

Song Wen immediately said, "It's the area where the stones were dug."

Ding Yan immediately said, "Let's go over there and take a look. I'm afraid that the space ability user has also gone over there."

Liang Yuan nodded immediately: "Let's go, Uncle Lu, will you come with us?"

Lu Dayou hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head and said, "Forget it, I won't go. There are too many people over there. Even if there are mutant fruits, it won't be my turn. I'll go another direction."

Although he is honest, he is not stupid.

There are people like Lao Ma, Cai Zhi, and Tang Ying over there.

Liang Yuan and his team would definitely give priority to taking care of these people, so he simply went to try his luck in other directions.

Liang Yuan did not stop them, and they parted ways immediately.

Liang Yuan and his three companions sped up. The island was not large, so they soon arrived at the area full of raised rocks.

All the stones here grow into clusters of cones.

It looks like clusters of black crystal stones.

It also looks like a row of small black pine trees, standing on the land, isolated from each other.

There was some messy grass growing on the ground.

But it is obvious that the grass is not nutritious enough and is not growing as vigorously as those in the swamp just now.

At this moment, there are more than a dozen people digging and searching for something in the stone forest.

Among them are Cai Zhi, Lao Ma, Tang Ying and others.

Liang Yuan immediately took a quick look around and said to Ding Yan and the others, "Did you see that space ability user?"

"No, it doesn't seem to be here." Ding Yan shook her head.

Yang Shenmin said: "Be careful, he might be hiding."

"I'll go ask what everyone is digging." Song Wen whispered.

"Let's go there together."

Several people walked over together immediately.

"Old horse!"

Liang Yuan patted Ma Guocai and shouted in a low voice.

Ma Guocai was stunned and looked up at Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan was shocked when he looked up.

But Lao Ma looked excited and his eyes were red.

"Xiao Liang? You... why are you here? Are you here to dig up mutant fruits as well?"

Liang Yuan felt something was wrong: "What mutant fruit? Where is it?"

Old Ma pointed at the pile of black rocks and said, "Didn't you see such a big mutant fruit?"

"Come on, don't just stand there like an idiot. Come and dig it up. If we dig it up and take one bite each, we can all awaken."

Old Ma excitedly pulled Liang Yuan and asked him to dig together.

Liang Yuan's face changed slightly, and he looked at Song Wen, Ding Yan, Yang Shenmin, and Shi Haizhu.

Shi Haizhu couldn't help but say, "They seem to be digging these stone piles."

"Brother Liang, something is not right. There is something wrong with their mental state." Song Wen couldn't help but whisper.

Ding Yan, who was standing by, also had a serious look on her face. She couldn't help but grab Lao Ma's arm and said, "Lao Ma, what's wrong with you? These are just stones."
