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

Chapter 223 Mine Slave
This group of people were enslaved by Tian Wei and others, and they had a natural grudge against Tian Wei.

Tian Wei was killed by me, and these people are so grateful to me that they can't even express their gratitude to me. It shouldn't be difficult to subdue them.

Another point is that there are no people with special abilities among these people, they are all ordinary people. Even if they are dissatisfied, it is of no use.

When he thought about this, he already had an idea in his mind.

Liang Yuan smiled, reached out his hand to help Niu Daming up, and said with a smile: "Uncle Ming, right? Get up quickly, everyone get up."

"Don't worry, everyone. Tian Wei and his gang have committed many evil things and have been killed by us."

"Everyone is free now!"

"From today on, there will be no more oppression and exploitation in this refuge."

As soon as these words were spoken, the miners who had crawled out immediately showed expressions of disbelief.

"What? Tian Wei is dead?"

"That beast Tian Wei is actually dead? You...you are not kidding, are you?"

"Tian Wei is a superpower. He is a powerful superpower. How could he die so easily?"

"Hahaha, this beast is actually dead? Actually dead?"

"Ahhh, wife, wife, did you hear that? Tian Wei is dead! Sun Gui is dead! All these beasts are dead, hahahaha."

"Oh, heaven, oh, earth, you have finally opened your eyes and finally let these beasts die."

Among the group of people, some people burst into tears and howled out of surprise.

Some people couldn't believe it and asked about the situation anxiously.

Some people looked up to the sky and cried, commemorating their deceased relatives.

Niu Daming was shocked and asked Liang Yuan hurriedly: "My benefactor, is this... is this true?"

Liang Yuan smiled and pointed to the cave entrance: "If you don't believe me, you can go and have a look. The bodies of Tian Wei and his accomplices are still outside."

As soon as these words were spoken, Niu Daming was the first to rush out, and the others also reacted and ran out.

Everyone rushed out of the cave excitedly, ignoring the heavy rain. They had not been out for a long time.

Some people took deep breaths of the fresh air outside, while others squinted their eyes and looked at the dark rainy sky.

Some people were looking around for corpses, and when they saw some, they gritted their teeth and kicked them a few times.

Suddenly Niu Daming saw a corpse with a shattered head and a body as cracked as charcoal.

He trembled suddenly, and then took a deep breath: "Tian Wei!"

In an instant, everyone turned their heads to look in his direction.

Then I saw Tian Wei’s body!

At this moment, all the miners' eyes turned red, and they rushed up and trampled on the corpse while roaring.

There were continuous sounds of "crackling, crackling", which were the sounds of bones breaking.

Even if Tian Wei died, his corpse would have been whipped by this group of people.

This group of people vented their anger. They were all owners of the Zhongyue Hongti Community. They all followed Tian Wei to the mountains to make a living and avoid the flood.

Unexpectedly, after Tian Wei and his gang occupied the mining area, there was a lack of manpower to help him mine, so he imprisoned them all and helped them mine for the supernatural stones.

Some of them brought their wives and daughters with them, and they also became playthings of Tian Wei and other psychics.

It can be said that their hatred for Tian Wei has already surpassed everything.

Even if Tian Wei turns into ashes, they will grind his bones and scatter his ashes today!

Liang Yuan did not stop these people and let them vent.

After the group of people had vented their anger, Niu Daming remembered Liang Yuan. He quickly took a few people back to the mine and asked Liang Yuan what was going on.

Liang Yuan just smiled faintly and said, "Tian Wei offended me, so I came to kill him."

"Now that Tian Wei is dead, this mining area..."

He paused here and glanced at Niu Daming.

Niu Daming immediately said, "It's yours! This entire mining area is yours."

Liang Yuan smiled and admired Niu Daming's understanding.

"I forgot to introduce myself to you. My last name is Liang Yuan. Some people like to call me Mr. Liang. You can do the same."

"Since this mining area belongs to me, I would like to ask you, what are your plans next?"

"First of all, I am not a beast like Tian Wei. I would never do anything inhumane like imprisonment."

"But the mine can dig out supernatural stones, which are precious resources. Naturally, I can't give them up, but I won't interfere with your freedom."

Niu Daming breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that this guy was not like Tian Wei.

"Mr. Liang, now is not the time to talk about this. Can you rescue the miners in other mines first? When I was down there just now, I heard someone calling for help in a nearby mine."

Liang Yuan nodded and said, "That's a must. You are an old man here. You will organize the rescue and I will supervise."

Niu Daming was stunned for a moment, then he understood.

Liang Yuan is a person with superpowers and possesses strong fighting ability, so we need to give him a position.

He was quite old and experienced, so he immediately understood Liang Yuan's intention.

"This Mr. Liang wants to support me?"

He was filled with joy and surprise, and quickly patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, leave it to me."

He immediately turned around and shouted, "Da Li, Xiao Jun, hurry up, let's go and rescue them together."

Upon hearing this, two strong young men in the distance quickly began to organize people and start rescue operations.

Soon everyone found two other collapsed mines and quickly began to move the stones.

But some of the stones were too big to be moved by several people.

This is the time for Liang Yuan to take action.

He wanted to show off his power in front of this group of people. With just one hand, he easily lifted the huge rock that four or five people could not lift.

Niu Daming, Ge Li, Wang Xiaojun and others all had their pupils shrank slightly, and their awe of Liang Yuan immediately deepened a lot.

The others also looked at Liang Yuan with fear in their eyes.

The man who could kill Tian Wei, a violent man, is indeed not an ordinary person.

Liang Yuan chuckled, and with just a slight move he had already established his prestige.

The rescue work was quick. There were four mines in total in this mining area.

One of the mines collapsed completely. We dug more than ten meters deep and found that it was full of rocks. We shouted inside, but no one responded.

It is highly likely that everyone inside is dead.

However, more than fifty people were rescued from the other two mines one after another.

As a result, the shelter that originally accommodated more than 200 people now has less than 100 people left.

Among the people coming out of the two mines, there were also two who looked like leaders.

One is called Liao Tao and the other is called Meng Guangli.

Both of them are in their thirties and have solid muscles.

However, when they saw Liang Yuan, they all called him "Mr. Liang" politely.

Liang Yuan nodded and said to everyone: "What are your plans next?"

Everyone hesitated and looked at each other. Someone asked, "Mr. Liang, do you need more people in your shelter?"

"Mr. Liang, we heard before that there are three other shelters on the mountain. Are you familiar with them? If we go there, will they accept people?"

Liang Yuan did not answer the first person's question, but answered the second question.

"Every shelter has limited resources. Unless you are a mutant, they may open their doors to welcome you. But if you are a burden, I'm sorry, no shelter wants you."

Everyone fell silent immediately.

Of course they also know this truth.

If we go to other shelters now, we might end up being the bullied group again, the lowest level of society.

For a moment, they all felt desperate.

Niu Daming looked at Liang Yuan and suddenly said, "Mr. Liang, although we are not supernatural beings, we are all strong and capable, and we are good at work. Can you... can you take us in?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the others immediately reacted and began to plead.

"Mr. Liang, please be kind and take us in."

"Mr. Liang, I can work and endure any hardship. Please, take us in."

"Mr. Liang, I kowtow to you."

……

These people knelt down one after another and kowtowed to Liang Yuan and begged him.

Liang Yuan frowned, but he felt that he had almost thought about it, so he spoke slowly.

"Everyone, everyone, stand up and listen to me."

"I am different from Tian Wei. Those who follow me must abide by my rules."

"But my shelter has limited space and not many resources. We can't accommodate so many of you at once."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone felt despair, their eyes turned red, and some of them were so fragile that they almost cried.

Liang Yuan spoke again: "But I do have an idea, maybe you can listen to it."

Niu Daming, Liao Tao, Meng Guangli and other leaders immediately looked up at Liang Yuan.

"Mr. Liang, do you have any good suggestions?"

"Mr. Liang, you say it, and we listen to you."

"Mr. Liang, please speak." Liang Yuan looked at the three people with a smile and said, "There is not enough space in my shelter, so it is not convenient to accommodate you. This mining area was conquered by me, and I will need to arrange for people to live here later."

"But considering your situation, it's a problem to go to other shelters. It's better that you can continue to stay here."

"The caves over there are ready-made. They were originally inhabited by people with special abilities, but now they are for you to live in."

When everyone heard this, they were all surprised.

However, Liang Yuan changed the subject and said, "But——"

"I can't let you live here for free. You need to pay me while you live here."

Everyone was stunned, and Niu Daming quickly asked: "Mr. Liang, what is the fee? We don't have anything to eat."

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "It's not food. Aren't there any supernatural stones here? You can mine them and give them to me."

Everyone was stunned. Meng Guangli couldn't help but ask, "Then aren't we becoming mining slaves again?"

Liang Yuan laughed and shook his head: "It's different. You live here, I will provide you with a place to live. I can also provide you with food if you need it later. If you encounter danger, I will also let the superpowers come to help you solve it."

"Oh, by the way, I might send a team of psychics to be stationed here to maintain law and order and stability."

“You don’t have to mine. This is voluntary and I won’t force you.”

"You can eat wild vegetables, catch mutant beasts and fish yourself, anything is fine."

"But if you rent my place, you must pay rent."

"If you want other food, you need to exchange it from me."

"Even if one day you don't want to live here anymore, you can leave at any time. I won't force you to stay."

"Do you understand what I mean?"

After hearing this, everyone felt relieved.

In this way, their freedom is not restricted.

You can come and go freely, just pay the rental fee.

This is understandable, after all, this mining area was originally snatched by Mr. Liang from Tian Wei.

Everyone can agree on this.

Niu Daming, Liao Tao and Meng Guangli realized the key point.

Niu Daming immediately asked, "Mr. Liang, do you mean that since we live here, we have the right to mine the supernatural stones?"

"And after we mine these energy stones, they belong to us? We can use them to exchange for supplies from you?"

Liang Yuan shook his head: "This mining area is mine. How can the supernatural stones we dug out belong to you?"

"But if you hand over the supernatural stones you have dug out to me, I will give you some points. You can then use these points to exchange for food from me."

"By the way, let me be frank. If I find out that you have detained them privately or traded them with other shelters, don't blame me then."

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

This person was able to kill Tian Wei, so his strength must be terrifyingly strong.

Even if there are other shelters, how many can compete with Tian Wei?

Liao Tao couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Liang, what are the points? How do you redeem them?"

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Just exchange it like the residents of my shelter."

"If you don't dig then, other residents of my shelter will come and dig. I don't mean to force you."

Liao Tao was stunned. Is there anyone else coming to mine?

Meng Guangli was also puzzled. Who would want to be a mine slave?
Unless it's profitable.

The three of them looked at each other and felt that Mr. Liang was much easier to talk to than Tian Wei.

At least they have the strength but they don't oppress others.

Instead, it gives everyone enough freedom to choose.

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "You don't have to rush to make a decision. Let's discuss it first. By the way, the tide will come in two days. How will Tian Wei and the others deal with the tide?"

Niu Daming said: "I know that Tian Wei and his men dug a shelter under the mine. When the tide comes, everyone will hide in the shelter. We just need to seal the entrance."

Liang Yuan was surprised and asked, "Where is the entrance to the cave?"

"I'll take you there." Liao Tao said immediately.

As he spoke, he took the initiative to lead Liang Yuan towards the mine. After going deep underground and turning a corner, a huge mine cave appeared in front of them.

The cave is filled with a lot of luminous stones for lighting, as well as some pots and pans for cooking.

There is even a gurgling stream seeping down from the wall nearby, forming a pool of water.

In addition, there are a lot of debris mixed with fiery red stones.

Liang Yuan asked doubtfully: "Are these supernatural stones?"

Liao Tao quickly said: "Yes, but they are all fire-attributed supernatural stones full of impurities."

"What's the use of this? Why is it piled here?"

"Mr. Liang, these impure fire-attribute energy stones can be used as fuel."

"Often a little bit of crumbs can burn slowly all day long, and there is no smoke, so it is a very good fuel."

Liang Yuan was stunned: "Fuel? Won't the fire attribute energy stone explode?"

Liao Tao explained: "The fire attribute energy stone that can produce explosions explodes because its internal purity is very high."

"And runes are needed to stimulate the internal energy."

"The energy inside a normal fire-attributed supernatural stone is actually very stable. It won't explode even if it's smashed."

"Otherwise, if we were to go digging for ore like this, we would have died a long time ago."

Liang Yuan suddenly realized and became interested. He reached out and grabbed some powder and observed it.

It is indeed as Liao Tao said, there are a lot of impurities in it and the purity is very low.

Seeing that he was interested, Liao Tao quickly said, "I saw those superpowers around Tian Wei before. They all used this powder to make fire to cook, dry clothes, etc."

"And putting some high-purity fire-attribute energy stones in the cave will also improve the cave environment, making it drier and having an insect repellent effect."

"Anti-worm?"

"Yes, insects like dark and humid places. The place where the fire-attributed supernatural stone is located is often dry and hot, so they naturally don't want to stay there."

Liang Yuan couldn't help but sigh, he didn't expect that this fire-attributed supernatural stone has been developed and utilized to such an extent in the mining area.

Sure enough, they need to have enough power stones to have the opportunity to try out the uses of these power stones.

Liang Yuan felt that he had learned something new.

He looked around and found that this mine was probably not man-made, but formed naturally.

“Is this a natural formation?”

Liao Tao nodded quickly: "Yes, we opened it by accident when we were digging for ore."

"Later, this place became our refuge from the tides."

Liang Yuan nodded: "Then I'll leave this place for you to use as a shelter from the tides."

"Thank you, Mr. Liang..."

"Squeaky-"

Before Liao Tao finished speaking, he was suddenly startled and heard some noise.

Liang Yuan also turned his head suddenly and looked towards the source of the sound.

But in a corner not far away, I saw a yellowish-brown figure gnawing on an yellowish-brown stone.

Liang Yuan and Liao Tao looked at each other.

"what is that?"

Liao Tao quickly shook his head: "I don't know, it looks like a mouse."

Liang Yuan was speechless. Couldn't he see it was a mouse?
But whose mouse eats stones?
This is obviously a mutant beast.

He made a hushing gesture to Liao Tao, signaling him to be quiet.

Then he tiptoed towards the mouse.

The mouse was quite big, about the same size as a newborn baby.

His body is covered with earthy yellow hair that is crystal clear, and he has a pair of round eyes that are as black as ink.

It has short forelimbs and is holding a piece of earth-attributed supernatural stone, chewing it with a crunching sound.

It's strange to say, the ochre-colored supernatural stone seemed like a piece of malt sugar in its hand, with a crunching sound and a crispy feeling.

Its two big front teeth seemed to be very sharp, and it could bite open the supernatural stone with a slight bite.

While chewing, a lot of stone chips fell off, and a small pool of crumbs appeared on the ground.

Suddenly, its two big ears stood up abruptly, then it paused chewing slightly and turned its head to the side.

Liang Yuan quickly held his breath and stopped. He was now more than fifty meters away from the other party.

In this range, mental impact is useless.

The khaki mouse was very alert. When it realized something was wrong, it jumped away quickly.

Seeing this, Liang Yuan quickly followed.

As Liang Yuan appeared, the khaki mouse was startled and a khaki halo immediately appeared all over its body.

The next moment, he suddenly crashed into the stone wall!

Liang Yuan paused and raised his eyebrows: "Earth escape?"
