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

Chapter 212 Shopping Mall Complex Plan

Liang Yuan had no idea what happened in the Wuwangting shelter camp.

The abundant supplies he brought back caused quite a stir at Wuwang Pavilion.

I’m afraid that when he holds an auction and a trading market, it will be extremely lively.

Liang Yuan is now thinking about how to improve his strength.

In the cave, Liang Yuan was holding a snow-white bayberry, listening to the crackling rain outside the cave, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"The battle with Wu Meng made me realize that I was too dependent on the system and had not explored my own potential."

"Wu Meng's ability is just a self-healing ability, but as he continued to explore the potential of his ability, he was able to use it to a terrifying level of attack, defense, and agility."

"As his flesh and blood grow, it can increase its strength exponentially. No, strictly speaking, it is the coverage of muscles."

"The more muscles he has, the stronger his defense will be. The more Qi and blood he can mobilize, the stronger his explosive power will naturally be."

"He has perfectly demonstrated the power of his supernatural powers."

"What about me? How can I use my [Evolution] ability to its full potential?"

Liang Yuan frowned. The [Evolution] ability was a passive ability and was not actually under his active control.

"No, you can't say that either."

"I have the ability to evolve. When I do the same thing over and over again, my flaws will gradually improve, allowing me to continue to adapt and evolve."

"Just like when I was drawing the rune stone, if it weren't for the [Evolution] ability that improved my finger grip, my eyesight, my wrist strength, etc., I would never have been able to quickly master the process of making the rune stone."

"So, my [Evolution] ability is actually a powerful ability that can assist me in my subjective evolution and mutation."

"It's just that this process requires me to keep working hard to practice."

Liang Yuan was lost in thought, and gradually he understood something.

"If I actively seek abuse, will my body automatically evolve?"

"Although I can't grow my flesh and blood infinitely like Wu Meng, can I learn his technique of bursting out power?"

"I also mastered the same skill as [Muscle Blast], but my control over strength and the use of strength are far inferior to Wu Meng."

"What's missing here is training."

Liang Yuan immediately had some exercise plans in mind.

He put this plan aside for the time being and started thinking about how to make the most of the system.

"If I want to get all the goodies in the system, what I lack most is points."

"I am different from others. Other people with special abilities can only rely on constantly tapping into their special abilities to improve their strength, but I also have a system. Exploring the potential of special abilities is only a way to improve my strength. I can also increase my strength through the system."

"Moreover, the system's improvement speed is much faster than my own hard work, so it must not be ignored."

“The most urgent task is how to earn points.”

"It's too slow to earn points by collecting everyone's catch."

Liang Yuan was somewhat dissatisfied with the current progress of points accumulation.

Because many people in the shelter had just arrived in Yangshan and didn’t even have much food left.

Many of them caught fish, but were reluctant to exchange them for supplies.

Some people simply dug a pond in the cave and raised fish themselves to prepare for emergencies.

This is not what Liang Yuan wants to see.

So how can we make everyone willingly give him the fish?

As Liang Yuan was thinking about it, he suddenly slapped his head and cursed himself for being stupid.

"Damn, am I being too picky?"

"I take their fish not for the meat, but to kill the fish and earn points!"

"In that case, why don't I just help them kill the fish? Why do we have to trade fish for supplies?"

Liang Yuan was overjoyed. When this idea came to his mind, he immediately knew what he should do!

"I should build a slaughterhouse and collect all the fish caught by everyone, so that I can kill them all!"

"Wait, I have to find a reason for this, otherwise everyone will doubt my motives."

"Let me think about it..."

Liang Yuan closed his eyes, a plan gradually emerged in his mind, and he couldn't help but smile.

At this moment, Yang Mei suddenly turned over, hugged his arm like an octopus, opened her eyes dazedly, and saw that he was still awake, so she couldn't help but asked dazedly: "Little brother, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "I'm thinking about the shelter."

Hearing this, Yang Mei perked up and said, "Alas, I can't even help you, am I too useless?"

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "How could that be? You are helping me by accompanying me. Besides, you worked so hard just now, how can that not be considered helping me?"

Yang Mei blushed, and smiled angrily on her blushing face: "I'm talking to you about serious matters."

She turned and lay in his arms, her fingertips gently circling his chest muscles, and sighed: "In fact, among the hundred or so of us, many people are anxious."

"Currently, only Zhao Kai and Doctor Yang have awakened their special abilities. Everyone else is very envious."

"It's okay for the men. We can still make plans to go fishing together, but we don't dare to go far away."

"The elderly, the weak, women and children are the most miserable. Every day they can only go to the bamboo forest to see if there are any bamboo shoots, or dig wild vegetables nearby."

"They are all anxious. They feel like they are a burden and cannot be self-reliant. They are afraid of being abandoned."

Upon hearing this, Liang Yuan immediately asked, "How many people are you talking about?"

"There are more than a dozen of them. Sister Wu and Liu Xiuqin can still follow Aunt Li and find something to do on the terraced fields. Song Wen will also take care of them."

"But others are not so lucky. Take Zhu Linlin for example. She relies on her beauty to serve Taoist Lin all day long. I can see that she doesn't really like Taoist Lin, and Taoist Lin is a little tired of her. I saw Zhu Linlin wiping tears in the cave a few days ago."

"There are also many elderly uncles and several young men who were shot by people from Phoenix Temple. They have injuries and it is difficult for them to make a living."

After listening to this, Liang Yuan's eyes lit up slightly, and he suddenly said: "Now that you put it, I suddenly feel that I have to give them something to do to survive."

Yang Mei was stunned: "What do you mean?"

"I plan to open a slaughterhouse to process fish for hunting teams and fishing teams."

"Handling fish is not a strenuous job. It only requires quick hands and feet. The old, weak, sick and disabled people in the shelter can do it."

"I'm providing them with a stable job, which saves them from having to take risks to hunt and fish."

"By the way, considering the danger level of the mutant fish, I will be in charge of slaughtering all the fish I collect, and then I will deal with them."

"What do you think of this idea?"

Yang Mei was surprised: "Then...how does this slaughterhouse operate?"

Liang Yuan immediately laughed and said, "It certainly can't be free, but it can't be too expensive, otherwise people would rather kill the fish themselves than have it killed in a slaughterhouse."

"Our slaughterhouse helps them kill the fish and also provides cooking services. This saves hunters the time of cooking and killing fish, so they have more time to catch more fish."

The more Liang Yuan spoke, the more he felt that his method was reliable.

As the saying goes, professional matters should be left to professionals.

The slaughterhouse not only collects fish, but also helps kill the fish, process the catch, and even provides canteen meals.

Throughout the entire process, everyone just needs to focus on catching fish and hunting mutant beasts, and there is no need to spend extra time on cooking or anything like that.

Don’t underestimate cooking a meal. From preparing ingredients, lighting a fire, to washing pots and dishes, the whole process can take more than an hour.

There is only so much time in the day. If you waste it all on this, how much time will be left for other things?
Yang Mei followed his train of thought and said, "If you say so, I suddenly feel that we should not run a slaughterhouse, but a comprehensive service company."

"This company should have various functions to serve the people in the shelter, not only slaughtering prey, but also processing prey, dining in the cafeteria, purchasing weapons and equipment, exchanging daily necessities, etc."

"By the way, it would be best if we had our own currency system. This way, our cohesion would become stronger and stronger, and we would only spend our earnings here."

Yang Mei sat up, becoming more and more excited as she spoke, and said, "No, it shouldn't be called a currency system. We should learn from those stores and create a points system."

"Everyone can sell their hunting supplies to us and get corresponding points. These points can be used to eat, shop, and so on."

"Don't you want to create a trading market? In this way, wouldn't a trading market be established?"

"Brother, you have spatial abilities and a lot of supplies in your hands. When the time comes, put them on display and let everyone redeem their points to buy them. Isn't that the biggest attraction?" Liang Yuan was stunned by Yang Mei's words.

But if you think about it carefully, what Sister Mei said is really feasible.

He immediately sat up, hugged her in his arms, and kissed her twice excitedly.

"Wow, Sister Mei, you are such a business genius. How did you know about this points mall?"

Yang Mei was pricked by his beard and laughed, her chest was filled with shock. She quickly said with a smile: "I like to go shopping and browse online stores when I have nothing to do. These are all old tricks used by merchants."

She then added, "There is a lot of potential here. When the time comes, some service positions can be vacated for ordinary people who have not awakened their special powers. Maybe it can also attract people from other shelter camps to come here."

"Of course, the premise of all this is that you, the owner of the mall, must have absolute strength. Otherwise, with such a big business, I'm afraid others will be jealous."

Liang Yuan's eyes lit up with excitement: "This is a great idea."

“The shelter is a shopping complex that integrates a farmers’ market, shopping center, dining center, etc.”

"Wonderful!"

Liang Yuan became excited, thought for a moment, and said, "To build such a complex, we need a large venue, preferably indoors."

Yang Mei said, "We have to find a way to dig another cave. It's best if it's close to the road, not too high, and has multiple levels. For now, it doesn't need to be too big. After all, there are only about a hundred people in our shelter."

Liang Yuan nodded and said, "We still need to think about this matter carefully, but we can start digging the cave first."

As he spoke, he was so excited that he could no longer sleep. He turned over and pressed Yangmei under him.

Yang Mei screamed in surprise and hurriedly called out, "Little brother, what are you doing?"

"Dig a hole!"

"What? Don't--uh~"

There were bursts of gasps coming from the cave, which complemented the crackling rain outside the cave.

-

"Ah - spare me, spare me, I have said everything I need to say."

The west side of Yangshan is full of rocks and man-made caves.

In one of the larger caves, the brothers Chen Jun and Chen Cai were hung up separately.

A tall and strong man holding a rattan stick in his hand.

He looked at Chen Jun with a sneer and said, "So, the two of you came up the mountain from the north?"

"Yes, sir, please spare us. We just want to go up the mountain to take refuge from the flood."

Chen Jun begged for mercy, his face was bruised and swollen, and his body was covered with bruises and whip marks.

The big man turned his head and looked at the group of people behind him.

Among the group of people, there was a short, balding, thin middle-aged man with a somewhat violent look on his face. He was eating some unknown animal meat while kneading the buttocks of a fair-skinned and beautiful woman next to him.

The big man said respectfully, "Brother Tian, ​​this guy doesn't look like he's lying. We've interrogated his accomplice separately before, and their statements are similar."

Tian Wei didn't say anything, but his hand had already reached into the woman's skirt. The woman's face turned red and her breathing became much faster.

Everyone turned a blind eye and no one looked at the woman.

Everyone knows that Boss Tian has a bad temper. If you look at it carelessly, you might get beaten up by Boss Tian.

At this time, a middle-aged man wearing glasses beside Tian Wei said, "Boss Tian, ​​it seems that these two people really went up the mountain to seek refuge."

"A lot of people have died in the mining here recently. The new group they mentioned is about a hundred people. If we can catch them, we can greatly expand our manpower."

Tian Wei then stopped and asked, "Where is that group of people now?"

The middle-aged man with glasses turned his head and motioned the big man to ask.

The big man came up to Chen Jun with a whip in his hand and cursed, "Tell me, where are those people?"

Just as he was about to take off the whip, Chen Jun hurriedly shouted, "I said, they were near the Phoenix Temple in the north. When we first landed, they were fighting with the people from the Phoenix Temple. We brothers took advantage of the chaos to land and ran all the way west. We finally managed to get here - ah!"

Although he answered quickly, the big man still whipped him and cursed, "Fuck you, why are you speaking so quickly? Are you rushing to be reborn?"

As if he was still not satisfied, he whipped Chen Jun twice more, making him scream.

Then he turned around to look at Tian Wei and the middle-aged man with glasses and said, "Boss, Lao Sun, he said that the group of people at the Phoenix Temple have been eaten by Tu Long's people, right?"

The middle-aged man named Lao Sun adjusted his glasses and shook his head slightly: "It's unlikely. At least the number of those 100 or so people is not much less than that of the Phoenix Temple."

"The key is that there are still many people with special abilities in that group. If they really want to fight, they can still give it a try."

"Given the temperament of that old fellow Hongfu, there is no way he would be willing to risk his family fortune to fight for lives. I estimate that there is a high probability that this group of people will be tricked by Hongfu."

"Brother Tian, ​​maybe we can send a few people to the north to check out the situation."

Tian Wei said angrily: "What are you looking at? Those two groups are fighting. Shouldn't it be the right time for us to take action and directly capture Tu Long and Hong Fu and take over the shelter over there?"

Sun Gui smiled bitterly and said, "Whether these two people can be trusted is one thing. The key is that we still have to find out whether these two groups are really going to fight to the end. What if they finally give up and make peace, and both sides take a step back? If we go straight over, wouldn't it be a wasted trip?"

"If they fight and each suffers losses, we can attack them separately."

"Especially for this group of people who just came to the mountain. They definitely didn't come empty-handed. They must have some food in their hands."

"We don't have much food left in the mining area right now."

Tian Wei heard this and said impatiently: "Not enough to eat again? Damn, these absentees only know how to eat, damn, they should all be killed."

Sun Gui advised: "Brother Tian, ​​if we kill them all, there will be no one left to mine. We still have to rely on them to mine the supernatural stones."

"Well, I'll have someone investigate. If there's a chance, we'll take action and take down those people."

Tian Wei nodded, waved his hand, stood up impatiently, and said, "Old Sun, I leave this matter to you."

Sun Gui nodded quickly and stood up to see him off.

When Tian Wei hugged the girl in short skirt and left the cave, the silent atmosphere in the cave eased a lot.

"Uncle Sun, Brother Tian's aura is getting stronger and stronger. Do you want to persuade him not to absorb the fire-attributed energy stone anymore?" a young man whispered.

Sun Gui glanced at him and said, "Do you dare to persuade him?"

The young man opened his mouth immediately and said nothing more.

They have been with Tian Wei for so long, so they naturally know what kind of person Tian Wei is.

This is a man with a violent temper who will kill people if he disagrees with something. He is not someone who can be reasoned with.

In fact, Tian Wei was not of this kind at first.

Before he awakened his superpowers, although he had a temper and a hot temper, he was definitely not this scary.

This situation did not occur even when he had just awakened his fire power.

This kind of temperament appeared after he absorbed a lot of fire-attributed energy stones.

Therefore, in the mining shelter, everyone suspected that the reason why Tian Wei became so violent and cruel was because he absorbed the fire-attributed energy stone.

Someone had tried to persuade him before, but before he could finish his words, he was beaten to death by Tian Wei.

From then on, no one dared to persuade him anymore.

Sun Gui looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, we are guarding the energy stone mining area, mastering a large number of fire attribute energy stones, and even producing a large number of explosive rune stones. This is a fortune."

"In today's world, Exploding Rune Stone is a strategic resource. Whoever controls the Exploding Rune Mine will be the boss."

"Without Brother Tian standing in front, all of us would have been eaten to pieces by the other three shelters."

"Although Brother Tian has a bad temper, at least if we follow him, we can still have a good life. If we really go to other shelters, can we outsiders be trusted by them?"

"If there is any danger, they will just use us to kill us."

"So put away those inappropriate thoughts of yours. If we hold on to the mining area, we can survive this apocalyptic flood."

"Miao Fei, I'll leave the task of gathering information to you. Give me the results before the tide arrives."

A young man with a leopard-like figure stepped out from the crowd, nodded, and said, "I'll give you the results before tomorrow."

"Okay, go back early."

Miao Fei nodded, immediately called two people, left the mining area, and disappeared in the heavy rain.
