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

Chapter 260: Taming the Giant Ape, News Brought by Tu Long
Three days later, in the dense forest.

A giant ape about 17 or 18 meters tall was walking in the forest.

There was a person sitting cross-legged on its shoulder. The person was tall, about 1.8 meters tall, almost ten times smaller than the giant ape.

He held a chain in his hand, and the other end of the chain was hanging around the neck of the black giant ape.

"Wow!"

Suddenly, he gently pulled the chain, and the black giant ape immediately stopped, appearing extremely well-behaved.

Liang Yuan looked at a gray figure in the woods. He touched the giant ape's head and then pointed at the gray figure.

The giant ape understood immediately and let out a roar, then suddenly pushed aside the heavy trees, as if it were as easy as pushing aside weeds.

There was a loud crackling sound and a large number of trees were broken by it.

The gray figure in the woods was suddenly frightened and rushed out quickly with a grunt.

However, the next moment, a giant hand suddenly grabbed the gray figure.

This is a wild boar with gray fur, and it looks very similar to a wild boar that has not mutated.

At this time, it was picked up by the giant ape and immediately let out a loud pig-killing cry.

The giant ape opened its mouth wide and was about to stuff it in, but Liang Yuan's eyes darkened and he pulled the zipper.

Suddenly, the giant ape's neck tilted, and it quickly shut up and turned to look at Liang Yuan in confusion.

Liang Yuan said in a deep voice: "From now on, you can only eat what I let you catch if I allow you to eat it, understand?"

The giant ape growled twice, unable to understand human words.

Liang Yuan frowned, and he used his mental power to transmit a similar consciousness to the other party.

The black-gold giant ape then roughly understood what it meant and immediately growled in dissatisfaction.

Liang Yuan's face suddenly darkened, and murderous intent appeared on his face.

A powerful mental pressure was released from him, which immediately made the black-gold giant ape bow its head in submission.

Liang Yuan then put away his mental pressure and put the gray wild boar into the large bamboo basket behind the black and gold giant ape.

There were several grids in the bamboo basket, divided into different categories. Now, other grids were filled with mutant creatures such as Fire Cloud Rabbit, Plum Blossom Pig, Red Chicken, and Flame Bird.

These Fire Cloud Rabbits and Plum Blossom Pigs are not the human-eating beasts raised in Mei Haiyuan, but were captured by Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan planned to take it back and put it in a breeding farm for artificial breeding.

It is worth mentioning that in the small grid in the center of the bamboo basket, there is a little black monkey more than one meter tall. At this time, it has opened its eyes, is full of curiosity about the world, and looks around.

When it saw Liang Yuan, it immediately bared its teeth and stretched out its hands, as if it wanted Liang Yuan to hug it.

It turned out that Liang Yuan had been training the black-gold giant ape in the woods for the past three days, so he naturally had no time to send the little black ape back to the shelter and hand it over to Huang Han.

Therefore, the first person the little black ape saw when he opened his eyes was Liang Yuan.

Instinctively, it regarded Liang Yuan as its parent and became very dependent on him.

Liang Yuan didn't expect this effect, so he simply tried raising both big and small ones together.

However, although they are both raised, the methods are different.

This adult black-gold giant ape is basically fed through intimidation, beatings, and feeding, following the ancient method of "a good son is born under the stick."

The newborn one doesn't need any of that. Liang Yuan only needs to feed it, accompany it patiently, command it, and train it.

In just three days, the little black ape's understanding ability was much faster than that of the big black and gold giant ape.

He must also listen to me more than the big black and gold giant ape.

Liang Yuan reached out and picked it up, took out a bottle from the inventory and fed it milk.

The big black and gold giant ape turned his head and saw this scene, with a look of kindness in his eyes.

Liang Yuan estimated that this large black and gold giant ape should be a female.

"It's almost time for today. I've been out for three days. I don't know how things are going at the shelter. It's time to go back."

"But it's not convenient to take the black-gold giant ape back with you, so let it stay in the mountains. Take this little one back with you and let it be with Huang Han everywhere."

Liang Yuan thought that if he had to go out for something and was not in Yangshan, he would not have to bring the little guy with him. He could let Huang Han take care of it.

This little guy is in the shelter. When he grows up, he will be a top bodyguard, and the safety of the shelter will be guaranteed.

"Wow—"

As I was thinking, I suddenly heard an eagle cry from above my head.

Liang Yuan looked up and saw a giant eagle circling in the sky.

He recognized it at a glance; it was the giant eagle with tattoos transformed by Tu Long.

"Mr. Liang? Is that you? Mr. Liang?"

The giant eagle spoke in human language, and it was indeed Tu Long.

Liang Yuan said: "It's me."

Tu Long was suddenly amazed, flew quickly in the air, stopped on a nearby tree, and then changed his body shape and returned to human form.

He looked at Liang Yuan and the black-gold giant ape in shock, and couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Liang, you...what's going on? Why doesn't this black-gold giant ape attack you?"

Liang Yuan said calmly: "I attacked you a long time ago. You are my pet now. When did you come back?"

Tu Long's heart was shaken and he was horrified beyond words.

The black-gold giant ape and the bone-spear giant spider are the top existences in the Yangshan food chain.

In the past, whether it was him, Li Yuefeng, or Wu Meng, they all avoided them like a tiger. Who dared to approach these horrible beasts?

Even Tian Wei, who was like a psychopath at the time, wouldn't dare to go crazy in front of these monsters.

This Liang Yuan actually defeated the black gold giant ape and even treats it as a pet now?
He suddenly thought of his own situation. What’s the difference between him and a pet?
However, compared with the black gold giant ape, the strength of his pet seems to be lagging behind.

"Compared to this, I am on the same level as the Black Gold Giant Ape. It's not shameful at all."

Tu Long quickly comforted himself.

He quickly replied, "I came back yesterday. The people at the shelter said you hadn't come back since you went into the mountains, so I waited for a whole day. I got really impatient, so I went into the mountains to look for you."

In fact, he hurried into the mountains to look for Liang Yuan, hoping that something would happen to Liang Yuan. If something happened to Liang Yuan, he would immediately take over and become the master.

Of course, he didn't even dare to have such thoughts now.

Are you kidding? They can even tame the black and gold giant ape as a pet, so what else do you dare to have any ideas about?
Now he just wanted to behave more obediently and not let the man surnamed Liang know what he was thinking.

"Oh? Wait a day? Have you ever thought of taking revenge on me? Or even destroying the Fire Bamboo Forest?"

Liang Yuan asked this question out of the blue, causing Tu Long to break out in a cold sweat.

He quickly swore, "Mr. Liang, swear to the heaven and earth, if I, Tu Long, had this idea, I would be a pig. Even a pig's brain is not as stupid as mine."

Liang Yuan laughed and said, "That's good. How's the matter I asked you to investigate going?"

Tu Long heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that at worst he could just get a pig tattooed on his body, a spiritual pig, and what he had just said would not be against his will.

He quickly replied: "I checked. I flew all the way there, passed Yangshan, and flew towards Guangfu for a long time."

"There are still survivors in many buildings over there. Many people have organized rafts and small boats, and are trying to get to the military base. It seems that the radio signal there is much better after passing Yangshan."

"Many people received the broadcast message from the Guangfu military base."

"They see that place as their last hope for survival."

Liang Yuan nodded slightly. This was not difficult to predict. He asked, "What about the second thing?"

Speaking of the second thing, Tu Long's expression suddenly became much more serious, and he said: "I flew all the way here, and indeed I didn't see a single flying creature."

It turned out that Liang Yuan asked him to go out not only to look for the Guangfu military base, but also to look for the traces of flying mutant beasts.

Because for so long, Liang Yuan rarely saw flying mutant creatures in Yangshan.

Strictly speaking, it is a mutant creature with a larger body and stronger flying ability.

They are not the low-flying mutant creatures such as the red chicken and flamingo in the black and gold giant ape's basket.

It was the strange bird with a huge body and a beak like a gun that he encountered during the last tide.

The appearance of that group of strange birds was very strange. Liang Yuan had never seen them before, and had never found them in Yangshan.

If it weren't for the tide, the existence of these strange birds would probably not have been discovered at all.

So Liang Yuan specifically asked Tu Long, who was able to fly, to search the surrounding areas for the whereabouts of these strange birds.

However, Tu Long's words made him frown.

"You didn't find any?"

Tu Long shook his head: "Not even one, it's very strange."

Liang Yuan was silent. These strange birds were so huge, it was impossible for them to hide underground, right?

This is so weird.

He shook his head slightly and said, "Forget it, let's put this matter aside for now. By the way, I went to the Guangfu military base. Did you see the scale of the base?"

Tu Long nodded and said, "The Guangfu military base itself is built in the mountains. No, strictly speaking, the Guangfu area is actually a mountain, and the overall terrain is relatively high."

"So there are still many buildings over there that have not been submerged." "The water level here has reached above the 20th floor, but the water level over there has only reached the 7th or 8th floor, and the number of underwater mutant creatures is much smaller."

"Because the water is shallow and large underwater creatures are rare, there are many survivors there."

"The Guangfu government also responded in time and quickly organized rescue operations, taking people up the mountain, setting up shelters, and helping each other with the military base."

"For now, that should be the safest area in the entire Linjiang."

After listening to this, Liang Yuan shook his head slightly: "No."

Tu Long was stunned, and Lian Ona asked, "What's wrong?"

"Guangfu District is close to Linhu Lake, which is huge and spans three cities. There are even many islands in the water."

"It's true that Guangfu is located at a high altitude, but it is close to the lake. How could there be no mutant creatures there?"

Tu Long recalled and said, "There may be mutant creatures in the lake, but the water level in Guangfu is indeed shallower than ours."

Liang Yuan nodded: "There is no conflict. Yunnan has such a high altitude and there is also Erhai Lake."

“Just because the terrain is high doesn’t mean there aren’t big lakes and rivers.”

"But according to what you said, there should be quite a few people who survived there, and Guangfu's official institutions are still functioning. With the cooperation of the military, there should still be order there."

"Their situation is indeed much better than other areas in Linjiang City."

Tu Long couldn't help but ask, "Should we also go over and seek refuge with the military? I've specifically inquired about it. The military will take in survivors and won't ask what they did before."

"On the contrary, if you are a mutant, you will have various preferential policies. They have sufficient supplies and the industrial chain is not broken. They can still produce food and drink."

Liang Yuan shook his head slightly: "Even if the industrial chain is not broken, where will the food come from? Will we keep eating the stored food?"

"As long as there is no land to grow food, transportation is cut off, and food and vegetables from the north cannot be transported here, Guangfu will still be a hopeless place."

Liang Yuan sighed and was not optimistic about Guangfu.

Until we find a source of alternative food, the more people there are, the tighter the resources will be.

I wonder if the scientific researchers at the Guangfu Military Base have ever thought about how to solve these problems.

And even if the industrial chain there can still operate, what about the raw materials?

Where can we find resources such as steel, wood, etc.?
Although Tu Long was not very smart, he suddenly realized the problem after being reminded by Liang Yuan.

His restless heart suddenly sank.

"The Liang guy is really treacherous and cunning. He actually thought of this. Forget it. I won't go to the military for the time being. I'll stay in Yangshan for now."

"Here, although I am still suppressed by Liang, once I go to the military base, I am afraid I will not be second only to one person, but to many people."

When Tu Long thought about the fact that there were a lot of people in the military who could tell him what to do, he immediately gave up his previous idea.

"Let's wait and see. If Liang's side fails, it won't be too late for me to join the military. After all, I can fly."

Tu Long was fiddling with the abacus in his mind.

Liang Yuan naturally didn't know that this traitor had other ideas.

Even if he knew, it wouldn't matter. Tu Long's current role was to gather intelligence in the surrounding areas.

As long as I'm here, this guy won't be able to cause any trouble.

Liang Yuan looked at Tu Long and said, "Go back to the shelter."

He untied the bamboo basket behind the black and gold giant ape and threw it to Tu Long.

Tu Long was stunned, looking at the three or four meter high bamboo building, and couldn't help asking: "I carry it on my back?"

Liang Yuan looked at him: "What else?"

The corner of Tu Long's mouth twitched, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions. He rolled on the ground, activated his spirit and transformed into a green dragon.

Then he picked up the bamboo basket and followed Liang Yuan and the black and gold giant ape.

Liang Yuan placed the black-gold giant ape in its original cave, and then took Tu Long back to the Fire Bamboo Forest.

After not coming back for three days, the Fire Bamboo Forest has undergone new changes.

Outside the fire bamboo forest, there are many more bamboo houses.

Most bamboo buildings are built as close to the mountain wall as possible, and some are built directly in the fire bamboo forest.

There are many more watchtowers near the highway, and a stone wall built with stones surrounds the entire valley, the bamboo forest, and the fire reservoir.

A suspension bridge was built with vines between the watchtowers behind the stone wall to facilitate communication between the watchtowers.

These vine suspension bridges are obviously Song Wen's masterpiece. It is difficult for others to use plants to connect targets so accurately and form suspension bridges, as she can do so.

In addition, there is a huge stone standing on the square on the other side of the valley.

There were large characters written on the stone: 'Yangshan Shelter'.

Liang Yuan couldn't help but laugh. Seeing this, Tu Long couldn't help but ask, "Did the shelter change its name?"

Liang Yuan said: "From now on, the entire Yangshan Mountain will belong to us. Calling it the Fire Bamboo Forest Shelter is a bit narrow. I have instructed them before to change it to Yangshan Shelter."

"The names of the other shelters remain unchanged. They are just garrisons."

Now the entire valley has changed drastically, and Tu Long is even a little overwhelmed. He can’t recognize that this was once a valley barren with grass and trees.

I saw that the weeds in the entire valley were filled with stones, and a large number of bamboo buildings were built along the cliff. The bamboo buildings, together with the caves in the cliff, formed special buildings.

It is a shopping mall complex with four floors.

There is a large square in the valley. In the center of the square stands a large stone with the name of the shelter, surrounded by a flower bed.

There is even a small pond outside the flower bed, with some lotus flowers, small mutant fish and other decorations in it.

Then along the shop entrances, there will be a large number of stone benches, long tables and benches, and pavilions to shelter from the rain.

There are large planting areas on both sides of the square. Going further towards the fire bamboo forest, there are large breeding areas, slaughterhouses, etc.

Although the entire series of buildings is still a bit sparse, its appearance has changed greatly.

Everything seems full of vitality, and people walking here have more smiles on their faces.

These smiles were something Tu Long had never seen before.

Even when he established the shelter in Phoenix Temple, he had never seen his men laugh like this.

He saw children wearing raincoats chasing each other in the square.

There are parents or adults behind them shouting in worry.

The children were jumping in the puddles, splashing water everywhere.

Tu Long was a little dazed for a moment, as if he had returned to the end of the world before the great flood.

After dinner, people will go out to walk their children, dance, and chat and brag in the community square.

The scene before him was hard for him to believe.

Liang Yuan turned around and said, "Okay, put away your supernatural powers and don't scare anyone. Go and send all the mutant beasts in the bamboo baskets to the breeding area. Lao Ma and Cai Zhi will take care of them."

Liang Yuan carried the little black ape out of the bamboo building and turned to walk towards his own bamboo building.

Tu Long stared at the completely transformed shelter in a daze and did not respond for a while.

Liang Yuan ignored him and returned home. Only Yang Mei and Dong Yan were at home. Ding Yan and Song Wen should be busy outside.

"Brother Liang, where have you been? Why did you come back just now?" Seeing Liang Yuan, Dong Yan hurriedly shouted happily.

Yangmei also smiled and walked over to ask, "Are you hungry? Can I make you something to eat?"

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Let's make something to eat for this little thing first."

He put the little black ape down. This little guy was considered small among the black and gold giant apes, but he was not small among humans.

So this guy doesn't look cute, but rather a little scary.

Dong Yan quickly stepped back and couldn't help asking, "Where did this huge monkey come from?"

Yang Mei was also surprised and couldn't help asking, "Liang Yuan, is this a mutant beast?"

Liang Yuan nodded: "It's the offspring of the black-gold giant ape. I plan to try to tame it. Maybe it can help us guard the shelter in the future."

Dong Yan suddenly exclaimed: "Black-gold giant ape? Why is it only this big?"

"It was just born. When I first caught it, its eyes hadn't opened yet."

"By the way, can you try to communicate with it through mental connection?"

Upon hearing this, Dong Yan curiously activated her mental connection ability and started communicating with the little black ape.

After a moment, Dong Yan showed a look of surprise: "Yes, it said it was hungry."

"It seems to call you dad, haha."

Liang Yuan was suddenly surprised. Could Dong Yan’s mental connection actually allow her to communicate with the little black ape?
His heart moved slightly. If that was the case, then Huang Han would not have to raise the black-gold giant ape cub.

Dong Yan's special abilities have limited combat effectiveness.

If she were allowed to raise the black-gold giant ape, when she was not at home in the future, Dong Yan would be able to communicate with the black-gold giant ape and let it protect Sister Mei and the others.
