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

Chapter 2 Lottery System
The sudden message alert startled Liang Yuan.

He quickly stood up and looked around, but found nothing.

After a moment, he calmed down, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

"system?"

The next moment, a system interface appeared in front of my eyes in an instant.

Host: Liang Yuan

Constitution: 0.8
Power: 0.9
Agility: 0.8
Spirit: 0.7
Mutation Progress: 0%
Points: 1 points

Number of draws: 0
Prize items: None
This interface was like a layer of transparent fluorescence floating in front of his eyes. He reached out to touch it, but could not feel anything.

This made Liang Yuan look very surprised: "Have you hallucinated?"

He quickly began to check every part of his body, and after finding nothing wrong, the system interface was still displayed in his eyes.

After calming himself down, Liang Yuan focused his attention on this system.

After some research, he roughly figured out the function of the system.

This is a lottery system. In addition to the lottery function, it also displays your physical attribute status.

However, this lottery requires so-called points.

"This score should be the system's prompt for me to kill a mutant sardine to get points."

But what Liang Yuan felt strange was, when did he kill a mutant sardine?
"Try it once."

Liang Yuan, feeling nervous, quickly clicked on the lottery.

Suddenly, the 1 point disappeared quickly, and a disc suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

The disc was divided into many sections, and he quickly scanned it and only had time to see some items such as bread and soy sauce.

Immediately afterwards, the disc began to spin rapidly, and the lottery process was completed in the blink of an eye.

"Congratulations, you won a bottle of Lao Gan Ma."

Liang Yuan was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened, and he saw a bottle of Lao Gan Ma in his inventory!
He instantly showed a look of surprise: "It's actually true!"

His mind moved, and the bottle of Lao Gan Ma suddenly appeared in his hand.

Liang Yuan hurriedly opened the Lao Gan Ma, and a spicy smell came to his nose. He couldn't help swallowing.

Then, without caring how much, he stretched out his finger, dipped a little and put it in his mouth.

The salty and spicy taste moved Liang Yuan so much that he almost cried.

It has been half a year since the heavy rain, and God knows how long it has been since he last had chili peppers.

He was worried about food all the time. After being trapped by the flood for half a year, every family had long been out of food and water.

I have been able to get by until now because I saved some money in advance, but even so, there is not much stock left at home.

Now, this sudden lottery system allowed him to draw food, which made him pleasantly surprised.

In the end times ravaged by floods, the emergence of the lottery system was like a ray of light, giving him a glimmer of hope.

"As long as I have enough points, I can draw more food!"

"But... these points..."

Liang Yuan frowned and looked at the system prompt for obtaining points, wondering: "Sardines, where did the mutant sardines come from?"

Liang Yuan felt strange, and he quickly checked the kill records through the system.

"The iron nail you shot out was accidentally eaten by the mutant sardine, and the mutant sardine was successfully killed*1!"

Liang Yuan was shocked. During this period, he had only used the nail gun to shoot people who tried to break into his house, and had never shot a fish.

Suddenly he had an idea and walked to the window to look outside.

The sky was pitch black and it was hard to see anything.

The heavy rain hit the water, making crackling sounds.

Liang Yuan picked up the flashlight and shone it onto the water.

On the tenth floor, there are many floating household items, such as mattresses, bed boards, foam boxes...

It seemed that someone had built a simple boat on the water and tied it to the window outside the building with a rope.

Outside these garbage dumps, there are also many swollen corpses floating!
Liang Yuan stared at the corpses with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"Could it be that one of the people I shot a while ago fell into the water outside and was eaten by the sardines by mistake?"

He looked quite strange for a moment. He actually killed a mutant sardine by accident?

But then again, mutated sardines are still sardines, right?
Aren't sardines creatures of the sea? How did they appear here?

"Could it be that the seawater is flowing back into the Yangtze River and has spread to Linjiang City?"

Thinking of this possibility, Liang Yuan's heart suddenly sank. The situation was very critical. If the heavy rain continued like this, I was afraid that I would not be able to survive even if I lived on the 32nd floor.

He frowned, thinking about what the system's reminder of the 'mutated' sardines meant?
Are the sardines starting to mutate?
What is going on in this world?

A trace of worry arose in his heart, and his eyes could not help but look at the horizontal plane.

"In the entire Linjiang City, my location is considered high. There aren't many buildings higher than mine, except for the landmark buildings in the city center."

"No, going to the city center means waiting for death. Once the heavy rain continues and the water level continues to rise, the landmark buildings will also be submerged."

"Is there any higher ground near me?"

"Sun Mountain? Plum Mountain?"

He started thinking quickly in his mind. About a month after the flood arrived, he realized that something was wrong and had already downloaded offline maps from all over the country to his computer. He also hand-drew a map of Linjiang City himself. He already had a general understanding of the topography of Linjiang City in his mind.

So he knew clearly which other buildings and hills with higher altitudes were near him.

Linjiang City belongs to Jiangnan Province. There are no steep and towering mountains. The highest mountain in the entire Linjiang City is Cangqiong Mountain, which has an altitude of 341.7 meters and is located at the top of the mountains on the east bank of Taihu Lake.

But it is too far away from Liang Yuan's location and requires crossing a development zone.

It's not suitable to travel with such strong winds and heavy rain outside.

The most important thing is that he once vaguely saw a huge shadow swimming under the water during the lightning and thunder.

"Even sardines have mutated. Are there other mutated marine creatures?"

Liang Yuan did not plan to leave Midu Garden unless it was absolutely necessary.

Suppressing the complicated thoughts in his mind, Liang Yuan turned back to the kitchen and took out the meat and green peppers that had been thawed in the morning from the sink.

His house not only has an upright refrigerator, but also a large freezer.

This big freezer was not bought but rented by him.

When I was renovating the house, I thought of stocking up on some popsicles, ice water, etc. so that I and the construction workers could have some cold drinks.

I had planned to return it after the renovation was completed, but I didn’t expect to encounter a heavy rainstorm.

After that, he simply didn't pay it back. He even took advantage of the first month to go to the supermarket near the community to stock up on a lot of supplies.

These include common items such as pork, sausages, vegetables, and dried tofu.

He also filled the upright refrigerator with items such as eggs.

In just half a year, as the water level continued to rise, the power system had already collapsed.

The reason why the refrigerator can still be used now is entirely due to the mobile gasoline generator.

At that time, I had a big fight with the developer, so the developer refused to provide electricity to my house.

That's why I borrowed this generator from a friend.

But there was very little gasoline left in the house, and although he only ran it for a few hours a day to power the refrigerator, even so, the gasoline was simply not enough.

Before the flood submerged the first floor, he risked his life several times to get a lot of gasoline from abandoned vehicles outside, and accumulated a lot of it over time, so he was able to last for half a year.

"Once this batch of gasoline is used up, there will be no chance to get more gasoline."

Looking at the vast ocean outside, Liang Yuan sighed. The generator is of course useful, but it's a pity that given the situation outside, it's impossible to get gasoline.

"Forget it. It doesn't matter if I can't get it. The food in the refrigerator is almost gone anyway."

He felt a little regretful, but soon figured it out.

Without supplies, a refrigerator is just a decoration.

He had tried to get another batch at the beginning.

But by then the second floor had been flooded, and a funnel-shaped vortex had formed in the underground garage.

Some people were careless and were directly sucked into the garage and never came back.

After seeing this scene, Liang Yuan decisively retreated. He relied on these supplies and lived frugally to survive for half a year.

However, even so, the current inventory of materials is decreasing and the situation is not optimistic.

While cutting the meat into shreds, Liang Yuan was calculating the remaining items.

"Oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are okay. I don't eat much. I stocked up a box each at the time, and there are still quite a few left."

"But meat and vegetables are running out. If we don't find a solution, we will have nothing to eat."

"There are still four bags of rice, a lot of grains, and five bags of flour."

He took a look at the rice piled in the corner and found that there were only four bags left. He had carried back a total of 10 bags of rice, all of which were small bags holding 10 kilograms.

There were really too many people rushing to buy at that time, and the reason he was able to buy 10 bags of rice was because he was familiar with the boss.

At that time, many people wanted to buy it but couldn’t.
