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

Chapter 264 Tu Long is Convinced
After quickly buying supplies, Meng Youyou ran to the food area on the first floor.

Beside her are Luo Hongmian and Han Xiangman.

The three girls looked at the food section and immediately smelled a variety of aromas.

Especially there are also the smells of fried various proteins and even barbecue aromas!

Even Han Xiangman couldn't help swallowing her saliva.

They thought that the food area might only have simple rice, rice porridge, fish and so on, but they never expected that the food area in front of them had a rich variety of dishes, even barbecue stalls, fried chicken chops and so on.

For Liang Yuan, these dishes are actually not difficult to make.

As long as there are enough vegetables, chicken, fish, meat and eggs, the dishes can actually be very rich.

At present, the base not only raises a large number of red chickens, flamingos, plum blossom pigs, fire bamboo rats, and fire cloud rabbits, but Tu Long even brought back a few ducks when he flew outside last time.

Overall, the species at the Yangshan breeding base have become much richer.

Then, under the influence of Yue Yawei's special abilities, the reproduction speed became very fast.

As long as these mutant creatures have something to eat, their growth rate is quite amazing. Birds can grow up in just one month.

Fire bamboo rats can be slaughtered in just two months, but plum blossom pigs are a little slower, taking three months.

The vegetables made from various mutant plants are also carefully detoxified and tested by Yang Shenmin's medical team. Only after they are confirmed to be edible, they are planted on a large scale and then served in the canteen as dishes.

That's how those fried chicken and pork chops came about.

On the contrary, oil, flour on chicken fillets and the like are the more precious materials.

These can only be redeemed through Liang Yuanhua's points lottery.

There is no substitute available in Yangshan yet.

The other is seasoning, which is also quite precious and basically depends on Liang Yuan’s points lottery.

At present, Liang Yuan has people starting to plant large areas of condiments such as pepper, chili, and garlic on the mountains.

All in all, the food area is not as barren as everyone thinks, and the dishes are quite rich.

But it is not as unscrupulous as before the end of the world.

Today is the grand opening day, so there are a lot of dishes at the window and many people come to eat.

In two days there won’t be so many dishes, and everyone won’t have so many points to spend.

If you want to eat good food, you have to order it separately.

Among these dishes, the prices of those that Liang Yuan needs to spend his own points to draw will be higher.

The resources that can be produced in the shelter are relatively cheap.

Of all the dishes, fish is the cheapest.

Various fish products, such as fish balls, grilled fish, braised fish, steamed fish, fish fillets, etc., are relatively cheap.

Red meat is slightly more expensive than fish, but it is much cheaper than rice, flour, steamed buns and the like.

After all, there are a lot of mutant beasts that can be captured in the mountains, and the rice and flour were all won by Liang Yuan in the lottery.

"Ahhh, you steamed buns, white flour steamed buns, Sister Xiangman, look quickly, I haven't eaten steamed buns for a long time."

Luo Hongmian pointed at the plump white buns in the window and shouted in surprise and joy.

She is a typical Shandong person. Before the end of the world, she has to eat two white flour buns every morning and evening, otherwise she will not feel happy at all.

Now when I see those white and plump white flour buns, my mouth is watering.

Han Xiangman laughed and said, "Let's go buy two."

Luo Hongmian nodded quickly and ran over immediately.

However, Meng Youyou stopped and whispered, "Sister Xiangman, you guys eat first. Well, I have something to do."

Han Xiangman was puzzled and looked at Meng Youyou, but saw that Meng Youyou looked a little embarrassed and pointed at Gu Feng who was waiting at the door not far away.

Han Xiangman immediately laughed and said, "Okay, it won't affect your relationship, go ahead."

Meng Youyou blushed and quickly ran away.

Gu Feng saw Meng Youyou over there and hurriedly said, "Youyou, you're finally here. Hurry, the first movie is about to start."

Meng Youyou's eyes lit up and said, "Are you really going to the fourth floor to watch a movie?"

"Go ahead, I've already bought the tickets. Look, I even brought you some milk tea!"

"What! There's also milk tea?" Meng Youyou was incredulous.

What time is this?
This is the end of the world, where is the milk tea?

Gu Feng chuckled, "It's milk tea, made by my former classmate. I shamelessly asked for one."

"Your classmate? How did she make it? Can she make milk tea now?"

"Yes, you know Dong Yan, right? She's my classmate. I got along really well with her brother. We used to live next door to each other."

Gu Feng smiled and said, "This milk tea is actually quite simple. It just uses milk powder. After the tea leaves are cooked, add some sugar. The key lies in the taro balls inside."

"I never thought that she could actually make taro balls with the taro grown by Aunt Li and her family."

"Try it. The taste is not much different from the milk tea before the flood."

Meng Youyou took a sip and her eyes lit up immediately. It was really delicious!

“It tastes so good… wow…”

Meng Youyou took a sip and suddenly tears came out.

Gu Feng was caught off guard and quickly asked, "Hey, hey, hey, why are you crying?"

Meng Youyou rubbed her eyes and cried, "My dad used to buy milk tea for my mom and me..."

Gu Feng understood immediately, a look of distress appeared on his face, and he quickly comforted her: "It's all over, it's all over."

He had heard Meng Youyou mention that when her family encountered a major flood, his father took her and her to live with a colleague on the top floor.

Later, as the water level rose and supplies became scarce, some dirty things happened.

That colleague was reluctant to give them the food and wanted to kick them out.

Meng Youyou's father begged again and again, but the other party made a request that Meng Youyou and her mother sleep together.

Meng Youyou's father was furious and started fighting with the other party. He accidentally stabbed the man to death.

The mother was so frightened that she rushed forward and killed the other person as well.

Meng Youyou and her mother lived in that house for a while. After they ran out of food and ammunition, her mother went out to find food and never came back.

She hid in the room and cried countless times. When she was almost starving to death, Han Xiangman came in with people and rescued her.

Later, she looked for her mother everywhere, and unexpectedly found her mother's body in a room downstairs.

The mother did not die from being insulted, but was killed by the mutant beast in the room.

When Meng Youyou saw her mother's body, she noticed that her mother was holding a cup of Xiangpiaopiao milk tea in her hand.

That was her favorite flavor. Her mother risked her life by entering this room just for this box of Xiangpiaopiao milk tea.

This was a sad past that she had never been able to touch.

Today, Gu Feng's cup of milk tea brought back memories and I cried so sadly.

Gu Feng quickly comforted her and took her to the fourth floor to watch a movie.

Similar scenes occurred in many places in shopping malls.

The happier the life is now, the more ordinary things that seem before the end of the world can evoke many people's memories and thoughts about life before the flood.

The older people wiped their tears silently.

The younger ones couldn’t control their emotions and burst into tears while holding their supplies.

But more people were still smiling.

They survived and are now living better and better.

And all of this was given to them by Mr. Liang, the leader of this shelter.

On the top of the cliff, Liang Yuan stood at the top of the cliff, looking at the scenes in the Col Square with a smile on his face, and suddenly he felt indescribable happiness and joy in his heart.

If it weren’t for the opening of the shopping mall, the people in the future shelter would bring him a large number of mutant creatures and points.

It was because he saw these people who had suffered so much, now had happy smiles on their faces again.

He didn't know why he laughed along with them, why he felt happy along with them, and he felt an indescribable emotion.

He never thought of himself as a virgin, let alone a saint who could save everyone.

He was also selfish, fell in love with the female neighbor next door, and killed someone for personal gain.

But he still feels happy and glad to help everyone, provide everyone with shelter, and see the weak and helpless people regain a stable life.

Tu Long stood beside him, looking at the people below who were excited and cheering with a complicated expression, and his face was also full of smiles.

"Mr. Liang, can I join the Yangshan Shelter?"

Tu Long suddenly spoke and looked at the young man in front of him. He had cursed this man countless times in his heart, but at this moment, he really admired him in his heart and even sincerely wanted to join this shelter.

Having experienced the despair of the great flood and witnessed the tragedy that followed the extinction of humanity, everyone actually longs for a beautiful and peaceful life in their hearts.

Liang Yuan didn't look back. He looked at the shelter that had been built with great difficulty at the foot of the mountain and asked, "Why did you suddenly have this idea?"

Tu Long was silent for a while, then whispered, "I admit that I didn't really obey you before. In fact, I still have some resentment towards you in my heart. I always feel that you took away everything from me."

Liang Yuan was not surprised. No one is a saint. He was the one who destroyed the rule of Phoenix Temple. As the boss, it would be strange if Tu Long did not resent him.

He turned his head and asked with interest: "Why, you don't feel resentment now?"

Tu Long smiled bitterly and shook his head. "It would be a lie to say I don't blame you. I always feel a little repulsive towards you. But when I look at the shelter you created and then look at the lives that Ji Feng, Wang Xiao, Han Ben and others led when they followed me, I realize that what I built before was not a shelter at all."

"You did a hundred times better than me. When they followed me and lived in Phoenix Temple, few of them could laugh, and could laugh from the heart like this."

"When they followed me, they were always worried about where they would have their next meal."

"I just suddenly realized something. Even if you don't defeat me head-on, given the current situation in Yangshan Shelter, my people will come to you sooner or later."

"So actually you defeated me and gathered my people. I don't think there's anything wrong with that."

Tu Long smiled, and this time, it was not a fake smile, but a smile that came from the heart.

He laughed and said, "I suddenly feel that the life I lived before was really boring. There were only a few hundred people, and we were scheming against each other. We couldn't even solve the problem of food and drink. We protected the temple like a treasure, fearing that someone would take away our territory."

"Now seeing them laughing so happily, it seems like everyone has returned to the time before the end of the world, when everyone lived happily and met each other without any intrigue or scheming, or going crazy and wanting to murder each other just for a little bit of food."

"Now when we meet, we greet each other, go fishing and hunting together, and farm and raise livestock together. I like the way things are now."

"Mr. Liang, I, Tu Long, am a rough man. I have also been a bad man. I have killed people and robbed food. But to be honest, I don't want to live that kind of life. Do you believe it?"

Liang Yuan turned around and looked at Tu Long.

Tu Long also looked at him with sincerity in his eyes.

Liang Yuan suddenly laughed: "I believe it."

Tu Long was stunned.

Liang Yuan sighed: "Who among those who have received a proper education and have moral standards in their hearts can be born bad?"

"Who wants to live a life full of intrigue, deception, and suspicion when there is a good life to live?"

“Who doesn’t want to live happily?”

Tu Long couldn't help but sigh: "Yes, but in this world, wanting to live like this is already a luxury."

"but……"

He looked at Liang Yuan and said, "But you have given us such a shelter, so that we can live like this again."

"I...want to make days like this last longer."

Liang Yuan laughed and said to Tu Long: "Then welcome you to join the Yangshan Shelter."

Tu Long also laughed immediately.

"But you, as a scout, still have to keep working."

Liang Yuan suddenly said: "In the entire shelter, you are the only one who has the ability to fly. I need you to go nearby to check if there are any survivors."

"If there is, take a look at what kind of people they are. If they are reliable, you can ask them to come to Yangshan."

Tu Long couldn't help but ask, "Do you want to recruit more people?"

"Yangshan is so big, and there are only a little over a thousand of us now, so there is still room for a lot of people."

"But have you ever thought that there is only so much red meat in Yangshan? The more people there are, the fewer mutant beasts there will be."

"You are wrong. There are fewer and fewer wild mutants. What we need to do is to drive away the inedible mutants and instead vigorously breed high-quality red meat with a short marketing cycle."

"The total number of mutant beasts will only increase. I need to keep them under our control, rather than letting only us humans enter the cave when the tide comes and let these mutant beasts run rampant."

Tu Long suddenly realized and gradually understood Liang Yuan's ideas.

The other party really wants to turn the entire Yangshan into a shelter.

They even wanted to expel the mutated creatures on Yangshan Mountain and only keep the mutated beasts with practical value for breeding.

To be honest, he had never thought of this idea before.

Because he didn't dare to think about it, let alone how many mutant beasts there were in the entire Yangshan Mountain.

Just a black and gold giant ape alone is more than Tu Long can handle.

But Liang Yuan is different. With Liang Yuan’s strength, he can even tame the black gold giant ape.

In the entire Yangshan, are there any mutant beasts that can threaten him?
So he wanted to unify Yangshan, and it was not just talk.

Not only does he have to unify the shelter, but even the mutant beasts on Yangshan Mountain have to be under his rule!

Tu Long immediately became excited. If he could accomplish this, the entire Yangshan would really become a huge shelter.

He nodded immediately and said, "It just so happens that I know a few places with several groups of pretty good survivors. I will go talk to them and see if they are willing to go up the mountain."

Liang Yuan nodded: "I'll leave this matter to you. You don't have to force it if you don't want to."

"Next, I will organize people to prepare to clean up the mutant creatures in the flood between Yangshan and Meishan."

Tu Long recalled that the flood was located between two mountains.

At the beginning, it was not actually a flood there, but a depression between two mountains.

Later, a flood broke out and the place was quickly submerged.

There is a huge body of water between Yangshan and Meishan.

However, these two mountains are adjacent to each other, and the straight-line distance is actually not far, only a few kilometers.

But the problem is that there are a large number of mutated monsters hidden in this swamp.

They were not mutant fish, but amphibian mutant monsters, such as the mutant frogs, mutant toads, water spiders, mutant salamanders, crocodiles, etc. that Liang Yuan had encountered before.

In fact, it stands to reason that it is impossible for crocodiles to appear near the river. However, in this flood, the rivers backflowed and even marine life appeared in the flood, let alone the crocodiles living in rivers, lakes and reservoirs?

"Mr. Liang is interested in Meishan?"

Liang Yuan shook his head slightly: "I'm not interested at the moment, but I want to go there to find a relative. Also, if there is a shelter over there, maybe I can try to contact it and see if I can exchange supplies or something."

He wanted to go to Meishan, partly because Yangmei's parents might be there.

On the other hand, if Meishan also has a large shelter, maybe we can collect mutant creatures from there, which would provide another channel to earn points.

Although I still don’t understand what gene species are and I can’t continue to upgrade, I can still continue to accumulate points.

Liang Yuan certainly would not give up and would continue to accumulate points in preparation for future needs.

"Also, please ask for me if there are any experts who understand shipbuilding." Liang Yuan suddenly thought of something.

Tu Long asked, "You want to build a ship?"

Liang Yuan nodded: "Yes, under the flood, we can't travel. The only way to travel far is to build a boat. Otherwise, we will be trapped on this mountain forever."

"Building a ship is a matter of time."

Although a cold wave is coming and the water surface is about to freeze.

It is even possible that the ships will no longer be able to travel.

But Liang Yuan didn't think so. This winter is over and the ice has melted, but the flood is still there, right?
If the next rainy season comes and the storms continue like this, even Yangshan might be submerged.

So shipbuilding is actually a must.

And we must be able to build large ships.

However, this requires professional guidance and certain professional equipment and knowledge.

Of course, there is another way, which is to simply accumulate points and then draw from the lottery tray.

But Liang Yuan felt that this would cost a huge amount of points, which was not worth it. It would be better if he could make it himself.

As for the materials for shipbuilding, that is simple. When the system draws the lottery, it is actually much cheaper to draw materials than to draw the entire ship.

When Tu Long heard this, he immediately thought of something and said, "I know where there are experts in shipbuilding."

Liang Yuan was surprised and looked back at Tu Long: "Do you know anyone in this field?"

"Uh..." Tu Long was a little embarrassed and knew what Liang Yuan was surprised about.

He is a property manager and is also somewhat involved in organized crime. Logically speaking, he has nothing to do with such professionals.

"My nephew majored in shipbuilding at Linjiang University. He mentioned to me before that the shipbuilding industry at his school is actually very developed. We are in Linjiang, close to the river, and there are many talents in the shipbuilding industry, most of whom were sent there from Linjiang University."

"I think if you want to find talents in this field, you have to go to Linjiang University."

Liang Yuan frowned and said, "Linjiang University... During the flood, I remember it was summer vacation, right? Didn't the students of Linjiang University go back?"

"Then I don't know. I have to ask someone from Linjiang University."

Liang Yuan immediately thought of Ding Yan and Song Wen. One of them was a teacher, and the other was an art student who graduated from Linjiang University. They should know a lot about Linjiang University.
