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

Chapter 275 Crossing the Shuize Restricted Area
There was a drizzle in the sky, and the heavy rain had obviously become lighter.

But the temperature also got lower.

Liang Yuan got up and went to the slaughterhouse as usual, and saw Cai Zhi from a distance.

Today, Cai Zhi has been assigned to a slaughterhouse as a manager.

The work here is easy and doesn't require him to be busy at all.

He also knew that he was only able to benefit from Liang Yuan's help, otherwise, as an ordinary person, he would not be qualified to enter the management level.

"Liang Yuan, it's so early... yawn!"

Cai Zhigang opened his mouth to say hello when he suddenly sneezed.

Seeing this, Liang Yuan asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay, haha, my nose just feels a little itchy." Cai Zhi said with a smile.

Liang Yuan shook his head slightly and warned: "The weather is getting colder, keep warm. You know about Aunt Li's situation, right? Don't catch a cold. It's hard to find medicine for a cold at this time."

Cai Zhi nodded quickly: "I understand, but Aunt Li is really lucky. She actually awakened her supernatural powers after catching a cold."

He was a little envious, and there was a certain desire in his eyes.

Cai Zhi was one of the first people to follow Liang Yuan. He watched his former companions awaken their special powers one by one and become superpowered people. It was absolutely impossible for him not to feel envy and jealousy deep in his heart.

Now even Aunt Li has awakened her special powers, and he is really a little discouraged.

Liang Yuan looked at him and said, "Don't catch a cold on purpose and learn from Aunt Li. Aunt Li's awakening of superpowers is a special case. Her superpowers will only be awakened when her mutation progress meets the awakening conditions."

"If you catch a cold, given your physical condition, you will most likely just get seriously ill. Your body will be able to resist it naturally, and there will be no life-threatening situation at all."

Cai Zhi immediately shook his head in embarrassment: "No, why would I make trouble for no reason and catch a cold myself."

He actually had this idea, but after hearing what Liang Yuan said, it seemed to be true.

Aunt Li has underlying diseases, is old, and has poor immunity. A cold could cost her her life, so she is in life-and-death crisis.

Cai Zhi is in his prime, so even if he catches a cold, he will most likely be able to resist it. He will not experience any life-and-death crisis at all, so he naturally cannot wake up.

Liang Yuan said: "Just be aware of this. You still have Sister Wu and Yaoyao at home. It's more important than anything else for the family to be together."

"Not having awakened superpowers has its advantages. You are in the shelter now. We will try our best to take care of you and will not let you do anything dangerous. Isn't it good for you to stay with your wife and daughter in peace?"

Cai Zhi nodded vigorously and sighed, "I just feel a little unwilling and feel that I can't help you."

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "With my current strength, who do you think can help me if we really have to fight?"

"You have too much on your mind. If you take care of this slaughterhouse, you are helping me. Do you understand?"

Cai Zhi's eyes were slightly red. He could hear Liang Yuan's sincerity and said firmly: "Don't worry, leave this to me. I will definitely help you manage it."

Liang Yuan laughed and said, "I'm at ease with you doing the work."

"How many mutants are there today?"

"Thirty-two pieces of red meat and more than a thousand pieces of white meat." Cai Zhi answered fluently.

Liang Yuan estimated and immediately laughed.

The total points of these mutant creatures are estimated to be close to ten thousand.

Sure enough, my strategy was correct.

Once you free up most people's hands and let them concentrate on hunting and catching fish, the points you earn will only increase.

Ten thousand points a day means nearly three hundred thousand points a month.

A million points in just a hundred days.

This does not even include the huge income from Haichao every month.

Of course, the reason why people have caught a lot of mutant fish recently is that the tide has just passed and a large number of mutant fish were swept into the watershed near Yangshan, so these days are a good time to catch fish.

There won’t be such a good harvest in a few days.

After Liang Yuan collected the points as usual, he walked around the slaughterhouse and told Cai Zhi: "I need to go out for the next two days. Don't touch the mutant creatures you received. Wait for me to come back and deal with them."

Cai Zhi was stunned when he heard this and asked, "You want to leave Yangshan?"

Liang Yuan nodded slightly: "Yes, I have to go out for a while."

"That's fine. Anyway, there is a lot of stock, enough for the cafeteria to consume in a short time."

Liang Yuan walked to the door and suddenly thought of something, saying, "Remember to buy two more cotton-padded jackets. The weather is getting colder and there may be a cold wave in the future."

Cai Zhi was stunned for a moment, then his expression immediately became serious: "Will it be very cold?"

"Yes, it may even freeze. If the rain stops and the flood freezes, the Yangshan Shelter will face a greater test."

Cai Zhi's face was solemn: "I understand."

This information was revealed by the military. Liang Yuan blocked the news in order to prevent people from panic-buying cold-resistant supplies.

But now that we have the Sunshine District construction plan, we don’t have to be so cautious.

Besides, Cai Zhi is an elder around him, so naturally he has to give a few suggestions.

After leaving the farm and returning home, Yangmei had already prepared breakfast.

Song Wen, Ding Yan and Dong Yan did not leave, but waited for him to have dinner together.

Everyone knew that he was going to take Yangmei to Meishan today, so the girls were naturally worried.

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Sister Mei, what danger can there be if you follow me?"

Song Wen said: "Remember to take good care of Sister Mei."

Ding Yan also said: "Don't be impulsive before you figure out the situation over there. Although you have powerful abilities, what if they have discovered some weird rune stones or something like that?"

Liang Yuan agreed with a smile.

At this time, another person came to the door, it was Yang Lin.

Yang Mei quickly stood up and shouted, "Uncle Lin, you're here. Come in and sit down. Have you eaten yet?"

Old Man Yang smiled and said, "I have eaten. I ate in the food area. Xiao Yangmei, Mr. Liang, when are we going to leave?"

He also couldn't wait to go back to Meishan to see his friends from his hometown.

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Please sit for a while, we will leave after dinner."

"Hey, okay, I'll wait for you outside the bamboo building."

"Uncle Lin, please come in and sit down. It's cold outside." Yangmei couldn't help but shout.

Old man Yang waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, you guys eat, I'll smoke a cigarette outside."

Yang Mei had no choice but to let him go.

Liang Yuan smiled and patted her wrist, motioning her to eat.

After finishing their meal quickly, Liang Yuan took Yang Mei and Yang Lin to the mining area.

Yang Lin couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Liang, shall we go through the water in the mining area?"

"Ah."

"Isn't that place called the Shuize Restricted Area? I heard people say there are many dangerous mutant beasts in there."

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, follow me, there will be no problem."

Yang Mei also smiled and said, "Uncle Lin, just relax, Liang Yuan is here."

Yang Lin sighed and could only follow.

He didn't know how powerful Liang Yuan was, but he had heard of the restricted area of ​​water between the west side of the mining area and Meishan.

Because he once wanted to paddle from here to Meishan, but he had seen the poisonous frogs, crabs and other monsters in the swamp with his own eyes, so he had no choice but to escape.

Now coming here again, I feel really uneasy.

Soon, they passed the mining area, then headed west and came to the place where Liang Yuan killed the black poisonous frog last time.

It turned out that new poisonous frogs had occupied those puddles.

Puddles of water, big and small, were filled with black mutant tadpoles.

The fist-sized tadpole looks very similar to Venom in Marvel movies, with a mouth full of sharp teeth and a completely black body.

They swam frantically in a puddle, eating each other.

Seeing that scene, Yang Meihua turned pale with fright and quickly turned her head away.

Old Man Yang was also a little scared and asked quickly: "Mr. Liang, is it too dangerous here?"

Liang Yuan comforted her: "It's okay, just follow me."

He held Yangmei's hand with one hand and walked at a relaxed pace, while Old Man Yang jogged all the way, afraid of being too far away from Liang Yuan.

Soon the three of them arrived at the water's edge. The water was covered with green duckweed. The duckweed was floating in the water, rising and falling due to the impact of the rain.

From time to time, giant frogs and toads of different colors suddenly jumped out of the water, squatted on the duckweed, and looked at the three people coldly.

Yang Mei and Old Man Yang's faces changed slightly, revealing fear.

Liang Yuan said: "Don't be afraid."

"How do we go?" Old Man Yang couldn't help but ask.

Liang Yuan pointed at the duckweed and said, "We'll go on the duckweed first. After we pass this area of ​​duckweed, there will be nothing blocking the way ahead. Then we'll take the raft."

"Ah? Where's the raft?"

Old Man Yang looked to the end of the duckweed in the distance but didn't see the raft.

Liang Yuan smiled: "I've already made arrangements, just follow me." He hugged Yang Mei with one hand, and Yang Mei quickly put her arms around his neck.

Then Liang Yuan looked at Old Man Yang and asked, "Do you need me to take you?"

"Yes, of course!" Old Man Yang said hurriedly.

What a joke! Let’s not talk about whether people can stand on these duckweeds. Even if they can, the mutant toads and frogs lying on the duckweeds nearby are creepy just by looking at them.

He is an old man over fifty years old, of course he needs support.

Liang Yuan grabbed his belt at the back of his waist, and the next moment, he jumped up.

His feet jumped quickly and stood on a piece of duckweed.

Bang!
The gravity of the three people hit the duckweed, causing it to tremble slightly and sink a little into the water, but then floated up again!

Such a scene made Old Man Yang scream in fear.

But before he could come to his senses, Liang Yuan ran wildly on the duckweed.

call--

The wind and rain brushed past his ears, and because Liang Yuan was running so fast, the rain hit old man Yang's face and it hurt.

He quickly closed his eyes and mouth, not daring to open his eyes at all.

In just a few breaths, Liang Yuan had crossed a distance of several hundred meters and reached the end of the large field of duckweed.

Naturally, there were some blind mutant frogs and mutant toads along the way that attacked them by sticking out their tongues.

But the moment they approached, Liang Yuan simply released a mental shock with his mental power, instantly defeating these mutated monsters.

One by one, the heads exploded and fell into the water with a splash.

Then it attracted countless mutant fish to eat it.

Liang Yuan didn't even have the interest to take another look, but he didn't mind killing a few more mutant monsters, after all, these were all points.

The mutant creatures within a range of fifty meters were instantly cleared out by his mental shock.

When the other mutant monsters not far away saw this scene, they were so frightened that they jumped into the water and quickly escaped.

Mutated creatures are not stupid, they also have biological instincts.

They naturally sensed the power of the human creature before them.

Liang Yuan quickly found the No. 3 raft made by Yang Shenmin and his team from the inventory.

As the raft fell into the water, Liang Yuan flashed and jumped onto the raft with Yang Mei and Old Man Yang.

Old Man Yang felt that Liang Yuan had stopped, and then he dared to open his eyes.

Then we saw the raft floating on the water without any wind.

He looked back and realized that he and others were now at least several hundred meters away from the shore.

Old Man Yang couldn't help but exclaimed: "How fast!"

Yang Mei also opened her eyes, looked back at the large patch of duckweed on the shore, and couldn't help asking, "Little brother, are these duckweed?"

Liang Yuan nodded as he steered the raft, "Yes, it's duckweed."

"The buoyancy of these duckweeds seems to be very strong. They can even bear the weight of the three of us."

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "They are indeed very strong. Their structure has changed a lot. Not only have the leaves become extremely huge, but most of the interior is air."

Yang Mei couldn't help thinking: "If these duckweeds can stick together, can they replace boats and people can float on the water?"

Liang Yuan was stunned and said, "I haven't thought about this, but it shouldn't be possible. They can't stay in deep water areas, right?"

Old man Yang at the side said, "It's not that we can't stay. Duckweed floats in the water and doesn't rely on soil."

"But generally speaking, duckweed appears in calm watersheds. What Xiao Yangmei just said is actually possible."

"I just don't know the specific load-bearing capacity of these duckweeds."

Liang Yuan was surprised: "Uncle Lin, you know so much about duckweed?"

Old Man Yang smiled and said, "I can tell you've never lived in the countryside. In the past, there were lots of duckweed in the creeks in the countryside, and we would feed the ducks with it."

"These things are good things. They can purify water."

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "I was wondering why we hadn't seen it before. It turns out it is more suitable for areas with gentle water flow."

Bang!
As they were talking, something suddenly hit the bottom of the raft.

All of a sudden, a muffled sound was heard and the raft shook violently.

Old man Yang couldn't stand steadily and was about to fall into the water.

At this moment, there was a loud splash under the water.

Immediately afterwards, a bloody mouth suddenly jumped out and bit the fallen old man Yang fiercely.

Old Man Yang was so frightened that he screamed, "Ah... crocodile, there's a crocodile!"

What rolled out of the water was actually a crocodile of not too big a size.

It’s not too big, but it’s actually nearly one meter long.

At the critical moment, Old Man Yang felt someone grabbing his knee, and then his whole body seemed to lose weight and was pulled back.

At the same time, the crocodile that rushed up had its head exploded with a bang.

Blood suddenly spread out from the vertical pupils.

With a bang, half of the body fell on the bamboo raft and the other half fell into the water.

Liang Yuan let go of Old Man Yang's legs, stepped forward, picked up the crocodile, and dragged it directly onto the bamboo raft.

This sudden danger frightened Old Man Yang so much that he was out of his wits. Yang Mei was also pale, obviously frightened as well.

Liang Yuan's mental power spread out, and the waters within a radius of fifty meters were reflected in his mind.

He sensed that there were many creatures swimming around underwater.

Apparently the movement of the raft attracted them.

Liang Yuan sneered and suddenly launched a mental attack.

bang bang bang...

There were continuous muffled sounds coming from underwater, followed by a large number of dead fish floating up.

Liang Yuan showed no mercy and harvested the underwater mutant creatures at a very fast speed.

Suddenly the mutant creatures around were frightened and fled quickly.

Soon, there was no living creature within fifty meters of the raft.

Liang Yuan frowned, feeling a little regretful.

This is actually a good place to earn points.

If he had time, he could try to come here more often to earn points.

"Hey, this looks like a Yangtze alligator, right?"

Old man Yang came to his senses, looked at the crocodile on the raft, and exclaimed.

Liang Yuan looked at the crocodile and saw that it had a long and narrow head, a slightly high top, a short and flat snout, a long and laterally flattened tail, a body covered with leathery scales, and a large rectangular plastron on its abdomen.

He knocked on the leather and felt its hard and cold texture. He guessed that this thing had also mutated and evolved.

Old Man Yang said, "This used to be a protected animal, only found in rivers. I didn't expect it to appear here. Damn it, wasn't it said to be almost extinct?"

Liang Yuan said: "The whole world is evolving. These alligators are already very fierce, and I'm afraid they have evolved even more powerful genes."

Old Man Yang sighed, "This underwater area will really be a restricted area for humans from now on."

Yang Mei asked, "I heard that the Yangtze alligator is edible. Because of its delicious meat, it was hunted to near extinction and has since become a protected species. I don't know if this is true or not."

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Take this back and ask the slaughterhouse to process it. I'll bring back some meat for you to taste."

Yang Mei quickly shook her head: "I don't dare to eat it, it looks scary."

Old Man Yang said quickly: "I'll eat it, Xiao Yangmei. If you don't want to eat it, please leave some meat for me. I have never eaten crocodile meat."

Yang Mei smiled and said, "Then wait, let Liang Yuan cut some for you when we get back."

"Hehe, that would be great."

There is basically no danger on the way forward.

Liang Yuan released his mental power at all times, using the corpse of the Yangtze alligator as bait to attract nearby mutant creatures.

Then release mental shocks again and again and start harvesting points.

The distance between Meishan and Yangshan doesn't seem far, but the raft took five or six kilometers to reach Meishan on the other side.

There are also large patches of duckweed growing near the waterfront of Meishan.

Moreover, these duckweeds are more lush and dense than those on Yangshan Mountain.

Liang Yuan hugged Yang Mei, lifted up Old Man Yang, and said, "Hold on to me, let's go ashore."

Old man Yang quickly closed his eyes, and Yang Mei also hurriedly hugged Liang Yuan's neck.

Liang Yuan jumped onto the duckweed, then retrieved the raft and the alligator corpse, and then ran quickly on the duckweed.

Soon they had crossed a distance of five or six hundred meters and stepped onto the land of Meishan.
