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

Chapter 288 Mr. Liang's Status in Yangshan

Li Xiangyang widened his eyes and watched what had just happened.

"I... am I dazzled? Brother Xiangyang, am I dazzled?"

Zhang Rongrong ran over and looked at the disappearing crab and the suddenly appearing raft in surprise.

At this time, Yang Wei also ran over, his eyes widened, and shouted: "Where is the crab? How did the mutant crab turn into a raft?"

"What's going on? What's going on?"

Li Xiangyang raised his head with difficulty and looked at Liang Yuan. He felt his mouth was dry and he wanted to say something but he didn't dare to open his mouth.

A thought was surging wildly in his mind.

Mr. Liang... He seemed to have conjured up a raft out of thin air and took away the body of the mutant crab?

What…what kind of ability is this? Is this some kind of supernatural power?

Old Man Yang and Yang Youwei also looked at Liang Yuan in horror, their faces full of shock.

Even Old Man Yang saw Liang Yuan using the inventory for the first time.

Among those present, only Yang Mei knew that Liang Yuan also possessed spatial abilities.

In fact, in the entire Yangshan Shelter, only the group of people who followed Liang Yuan at the beginning knew about Liang Yuan’s ability.

Liang Yuan once warned them not to reveal their ability to others.

Firstly, I was not very strong at that time, and if I had this ability, I would probably be targeted by others.

Secondly, his real superpower is not a spatial power, and it would do him no good to publicize it.

As time goes by, Liang Yuan is now considered a top psychic in Yangshan.

He no longer needs to hide the fact that he has this ability, as more and more people will know about it as time goes by.

Another point is that ever since he met another space ability user on Turtle Island, he realized that his ability might not be unique.

There should be people in the outside world who have supernatural powers like me and can possess a different dimension.

Therefore, there was no need for him to hide it any longer. Even in front of people with special abilities like Li Xiangyang who were not considered his own, he did not care whether this ability would be exposed.

In fact, at this stage, the more abilities I demonstrate, the more these people will put away some of their inappropriate thoughts.

This is another kind of deterrent.

Yang Youwei looked at Liang Yuan and couldn't help asking, "Mr. Liang, how did you do this?"

He and Old Man Yang got on the raft and he couldn't help but ask.

Li Xiangyang and the other two quickly jumped onto the raft and pricked up their ears.

Liang Yuan smiled and said casually: "Spatial ability."

Everyone's heart suddenly shook, and they all showed surprise.

Space powers?

This is the first time everyone has heard of this ability.

When Yang Mei saw Liang Yuan openly speaking of his ability, she knew that he had no intention of hiding this ability.

She smiled at Yang Youwei and said, "Dad, Liang Yuan first awakened a space ability. He can open a dimensional space and store supplies in it."

"Moreover, this dimensional space has no air and no temperature, so any supplies placed inside will not deteriorate or get damaged."

"Many of our supplies in Yangshan were collected by Liang Yuan, otherwise their preservation would be a big problem."

She said this not only to Yang Youwei, but also to Li Xiangyang and others.

She had seen with her own eyes how difficult life was at Jieshi Academy, and she knew even more clearly that Liang Yuan's use of the powerful weapon of dimensional space would definitely make Li Xiangyang and others instantly want to join him.

Supplies are so scarce now, no one will reject a team with a mobile warehouse.

As expected, as soon as she finished speaking, Li Xiangyang's face changed drastically, and he looked at Liang Yuan excitedly and shocked.

Zhang Rongrong and Yang Wei on the side also had their pupils contracted and looked at Liang Yuan in shock.

At this moment, huge waves surged in the hearts of the three people.

Yang Youwei looked at Liang Yuan in shock as well, opened his mouth, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Old Man Yang was shocked and couldn't help shouting, "No wonder, no wonder, I was wondering why there were so many supplies in the commercial base, I didn't see all the evacuees go out to search for supplies, I didn't expect that you, Mr. Liang, had already stored them."

He immediately said in surprise: "With Mr. Liang in charge in Yangshan, don't we have to worry about the problem of not being able to preserve supplies anymore?"

"That's great! This is such a great thing. It's been raining so hard that even if there is food, it will easily get moldy and spoil. It's great to have a space expert like Mr. Liang here."

Yang Youwei also came back to his senses, his face full of emotion, and said to Liang Yuan: "Are you a space ability user?"

Liang Yuan smiled and nodded: "Yes, Uncle Yang, give me your backpack."

Yang Youwei opened his mouth, wanting to refuse, but he still had no choice but to smile bitterly and handed the backpack to Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan chuckled and put it into the inventory.

The others watched in amazement, but they had no idea at all how Liang Yuan activated his supernatural powers and opened up the dimensional space.

It seemed that Liang Yuan put his hand on it and took it away directly.

Li Xiangyang and others showed envy.

In this apocalyptic disaster, having a space ability to store supplies is something everyone dreams of.

"Mr. Liang, let me paddle the raft."

Li Xiangyang took the initiative to paddle the board with a friendly smile on his face.

As he said that, he turned his head to look at Yang Wei and shouted, "Yang Wei, what are you standing there for? Help me."

"Ah? Oh, okay, okay, Mr. Liang, I'll do it, I'll do it." Yang Wei also hurriedly picked up the wooden paddle and helped row the raft.

The remaining Zhang Rongrong also silently picked up the wooden paddle to help.

Li Xiangyang said: "Rongrong, Yang Wei and I will row, you can go over there and accompany Yang Mei."

"It's not safe out in the water. You have good mental strength, so be more careful."

Zhang Rongrong was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then quickly nodded and said, "Oh, okay, okay."

These three people now seem unusually proactive and enthusiastic.

Liang Yuan and Yang Mei looked at each other and smiled silently.

The raft paddled, and soon a mutant frog in the water targeted them.

Li Xiangyang's face changed slightly, and when he was about to remind him, he saw the mutant frog's head suddenly explode with a bang, and then its head sank, and unknown liquid flowed out of its eyeballs and big mouth.

He immediately groaned and turned to look at Liang Yuan.

But Liang Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, as if he had done nothing.

But Li Xiangyang knew that on the entire raft, the only person who could kill the mutant frog silently was Mr. Liang!

He was shocked. Isn’t this Mr. Liang a person with spatial ability?

Why is he not only good at earth escape but also has extremely strong mental power?

Could it be that people with space abilities also have the ability to attack with mental power?
The opponent's way of escaping underground is not an earth-attributed ability, but rather the use of some kind of spatial ability?
His mind was full of doubts. These were beyond his understanding and he had no way of guessing.

But there is no doubt that Liang Yuan's strength is far beyond his imagination.

The other party now wants to control Meishan. Since I am in Meishan, I have no choice but to surrender.

Thinking of this, he put away his distracting thoughts, concentrated on paddling the raft, and stopped thinking about it.

The raft was paddling quickly in the lake, and from time to time, strange mutated fish jumped out of the water and attacked.

However, before these monsters could pounce on them, they exploded and died one after another.

Liang Yuan did not take any action throughout the whole process. Often, just a glance from him would cause the monsters' heads to explode and fall into the lake.

There is no doubt that this is definitely a powerful application of mental power.

Zhang Rongrong stood next to Yang Mei and felt it most clearly.

The terrifying mental power emanating from Liang Yuan formed a terrifying mental shock wave.

If they hadn't deliberately avoided me and others, I'm afraid their heads would have exploded in an instant.

Now she finally knew how those psychics in Yunquan Temple died.

I used to think that the descriptions of the survivors of Yunquan Temple were too exaggerated.

However, now that she was in the situation and feeling the impact of Liang Yuan's mental power, she felt her throat dry and she swallowed saliva frantically.

She felt that even if her mental barrier was activated, she would not be able to withstand this level of mental impact.

Liang Yuan's mental strength is really terrifying.

She felt that her mental barrier was not much worse than paper in front of the other party.

Thinking of this, she lowered her head and looked calm, her mentality completely relaxed.

"It's almost there, it's almost there." Old Man Yang shouted excitedly.

The lake, less than five kilometers away, is not too far.

The two psychics paddled with all their might at a very fast speed, and soon reached the Yangshan Mountain on the opposite side.

Bang!
The raft crashed into the river bank, and Liang Yuan said, "Come down."

He held Yangmei in his arms, and in a flash, he easily jumped onto the shore.

As soon as I got ashore, I saw a thick gray snake suddenly jump out from the muddy grass.

The snake was as thick as a wrist, had a sharp mouth and fangs, and was extremely ferocious.

Liang Yuan flicked his hand casually, and in an instant, a strong wind burst out from his fingertips.

Bang!
The snake was instantly blown into a bloody mist by the strong wind from the fingers. With a snap, the remaining half of the snake fell to the ground, still twisting its body.

Liang Yuan released his mental power, and everything within a radius of fifty meters became clear immediately.

A total of more than thirty mutant creatures, large and small, were sensed.

It seems that I have only been away for two days and this place has been occupied by mutant creatures again.

He immediately released a mental shock.

Om-!
Suddenly, muffled bangs continued to be heard within a radius of fifty meters.

The mutant creatures died on the spot before they even showed up.

So much so that Li Xiangyang and others jumped ashore, still sighing.

"The ecology of Yangshan seems to be much better than that of Meishan. There are no mutant beasts on the shore."

"Yes, there is only one mutant poisonous snake." Yang Wei couldn't help but say.

Zhang Rongrong, who was standing by, couldn't stand it any longer. She glanced at Liang Yuan in embarrassment, then hurriedly pulled Li Xiangyang and Yang Wei in a low voice and said quickly, "It's not that there is no one, it's just that Mr. Liang took action."

"Just now I could sense the life waves of at least seven or eight mutant creatures nearby, but after Mr. Liang's mental power swept over them, there was no movement."

Li Xiangyang was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly and said, "So that's how it is. You are worthy of being Mr. Liang, haha."

Yang Wei also laughed dryly twice.

Liang Yuan didn't care about such a small matter, he just walked forward and said, "Let's go."

Everyone hurried to follow his pace.

After walking about twenty meters, Liang Yuan suddenly stopped.

Li Xiangyang and others stopped immediately, looking puzzled.

"What's wrong, Mr. Liang?"

Liang Yuan glanced at Li Xiangyang, pointed to a mud puddle not far away, and said, "The backpack and body were found in the bushes next to the mud puddle last time. Do you want to go and take a look?"

When Li Xiangyang heard this, his expression suddenly changed.

He immediately strode towards the mud pit and quickly searched the area nearby.

Seeing this, Yang Wei also said, "Mr. Liang, I'll go help."

Liang Yuan nodded slightly, and Yang Wei hurried over.

Seeing this, Zhang Rongrong bit her lip, looked at Liang Yuan, and said, "Mr. Liang, I'll go over and help too."

"Ah."

The three of them searched together, and after a while, Yang Wei suddenly shouted, "Brother Xiangyang, I found it!"

Upon hearing this, Li Xiangyang suddenly emerged from the bushes and quickly rushed over.

I saw a backpack thrown in the grass, and the things in the backpack had been turned over.

He looked at the backpack and his eyes suddenly turned red.

"Vivi..."

Zhang Rongrong rushed over and couldn't help asking, "Brother Xiangyang, are you sure?"

Li Xiangyang picked up the backpack and whispered, "It's her bag. I recognize her bag. This is her favorite one."

He took off a Lingna Belle pendant from his backpack and said with red eyes, "This is the gift I bought for her when she and I went to Disneyland."

Having said this, his tears finally couldn't stop flowing, and his face was full of pain.

Looking through the clothes inside, they were all worn by my childhood sweethearts.

His eyes were filled with tears.

Yang Wei lowered his head and thought of the girl named Yang Weiwei, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red.

They are all from the same village and have known each other since childhood.

Zhang Rongrong felt sad and whispered, "Brother Xiangyang, do you want to look for the remains nearby? Let her rest in peace?"

Hearing this, Li Xiangyang couldn't help but look up at Zhang Rongrong.

Zhang Rongrong nodded at him. He took a deep breath and said, "You are right. When she was alive, I was not able to be by her side to protect her."

"Now that she's dead, I can't leave her body exposed in the wilderness."

Yang Wei immediately said: "Brother Xiangyang, I will look for it with you."

"thank you all."

The three of them immediately separated to look for the body.

Seeing this, Yang Mei couldn't help but look at Liang Yuan and asked, "Brother Liang, do you know where the body of the backpack owner is?"

Liang Yuan shook his head slightly: "I don't know. The backpack was found near a mud pit. There were a few corpses in the mud pit, but they had all rotted away and only bones were left. I don't know if they belonged to the owner of the backpack."

Upon hearing this, Yang Mei couldn't help but sigh.

Yang Youwei, who was standing by, also thought of his wife.

In the pit filled with countless corpses, there was no way to tell which corpse belonged to his wife.

He also felt the same way as Li Xiangyang at the moment, and a hint of sadness appeared in his eyes.

Liang Yuan saw that the atmosphere was not right, so he said, "It's okay if we can't find her. Maybe Yang Weiwei is not dead, but she just left her backpack behind in a hurry while escaping."

"As long as we can't find the body, there's still hope of finding her, right?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Mei couldn't help but nodded.

Old Man Yang also sighed and said, "Yes, the end of the world is difficult enough. If there is no hope at all, people will lose the will to live."

Yang Youwei was shocked and couldn't help but think of himself.

If it wasn't for finding a wife in the beginning, he would have wanted to give up living a long time ago.

After knowing that his wife might be dead, he really wanted to go out several times like a madman. In fact, he had already thought of seeking death and dying together with Li Kuirong and others.

It was not until his daughter Yangmei came back that he seemed to have found the hope and meaning of living again.

Even though he really knew the news of his wife's death, he was still able to get through it.

Humans are really amazing creatures. To survive, they need not only food and water, but also hope and faith.

Thinking of this, Yang Youwei's depressed mood suddenly eased a little, as if he had suddenly figured something out.

He let out a long sigh, and the bitter and resentful brow on his face relaxed a little. He turned to Liang Yuan and said, "I'll go help them look for it."

Liang Yuan looked at his expression carefully, then suddenly smiled and nodded, "Let's go together."

Seeing this, Yang Mei didn't understand what was going on, but she clearly felt that something was wrong with her father.

She looked at her father in confusion, then at Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan patted her waist and said, "Let's go and look for it together."

Yang Mei nodded: "Yeah."

Several people then joined the search team.

Yang Mei and Liang Yuan did not separate, but searched together. Seeing Yang Youwei walking away, she asked in confusion: "What happened to my dad?"

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Think it through now."

"Have you thought about it?"

"Yes, he has been feeling uneasy because of your mother's matter. He has a knot in his heart that he can't let go."

Hearing this, Yang Mei asked curiously, "But why did he suddenly feel relieved just now?"

"Because the living must live."

Liang Yuan looked at the sky and said, "Although the heavy rain continues, time keeps moving forward, and we keep moving forward."

“We still have people and things we care about, so life still has meaning.”

"A meaningful life is the real life."

Yang Mei looked at her father's one-armed figure thoughtfully. Suddenly, she turned her head to look at Liang Yuan, hugged his arm, and said, "There are many meanings in my life."

Liang Yuan laughed: "Oh? What do you think?"

"Before I found my father, I wanted to stay with you forever. If we had a lovely baby, I would have the courage to face any disaster."

"Now that I have found my father, I have one more wish, which is to take care of him until the end of his life."

"After I have a child, I will have more and more thoughts. I want him to grow up and watch him grow up happily and healthily."

"I also want to see him find a girl he likes and bring her back to me."

"I want to see what the world will become and how long this rain will last."

"Oh, I suddenly feel like I don't want to die at all. I want to live forever and live happily with you."

Liang Yuan listened to her murmurs with a smile on his face.

This is probably what humans are like.

Survival is not the only thing, it is not just living like a zombie.

Each of us has our own dreams, which allows us to live meaningfully.

Several people searched the woods and found several corpses, but they had no way of identifying them.

Li Xiangyang buried all the corpses in one go.

He couldn't tell which one was Yang Weiwei's, but he was afraid that one of them was Yang Weiwei's. So he had no choice but to bury them all here.

After making a simple tombstone, Li Xiangyang bowed to it and said with red eyes: "Dear deceased, I don't know who you are. Today I am collecting your remains and I don't ask for anything in return. I only ask that if you meet a girl named Yang Weiwei in the underworld, please take good care of her."

"As long as I, Li Xiangyang, am alive, I will come here to pay tribute to you every year."

Zhang Rongrong and Yang Wei stood aside, also wiping their tears.

After they finished worshipping, Liang Yuan said, "Let's get going. It's getting late."

Li Xiangyang and others nodded, wiped their tears, and followed Liang Yuan to the Yangshan Shelter.

As we moved forward, the closer we got to Yangshan Shelter, the fewer mutant beasts we saw nearby.

This made Yang Youwei and others feel somewhat magical.

Yang Youwei couldn't help but ask, "Why aren't there any mutant beasts around here?"

Li Xiangyang was also surprised and said, "Yes, it seems that there are fewer mutant beasts in Yangshan than in Meishan."

Liang Yuan didn't say anything, but Old Man Yang started laughing.

"You don't know that Yangshan not only has patrol teams that patrol the mountains every day to drive out mutant beasts, but the shelter also has hunter teams that organize themselves into groups and go out hunting to earn points."

"If Mr. Liang hadn't specifically instructed us to preserve some species on Yangshan Mountain, the mutant beasts would have been wiped out."

Everyone was immediately shocked.

Is the Yangshan Refuge so large? How many people are needed to patrol the mountains and hunt?
Li Xiangyang caught a very important word and asked quickly: "What are points? People in Yangshan hunt for points?"

Old Man Yang smiled and said, "Points are the financial currency of our Yangshan Shelter. In Yangshan Shelter, you need points for everything you do."

“You need points for shopping, eating, entertainment, and staying in hotels.”

"We only recognize points here."

"By the way, if you want to go to the shopping mall later, you must have points. Remember to redeem some points, otherwise you won't be able to buy anything."

Li Xiangyang and his companions were greatly surprised and were full of curiosity about this shopping mall complex.

Zhang Rongrong couldn't help asking, "Mr. Liang, is the supermarket complex really like the supermarket before the flood? Does it have everything?"

Liang Yuan glanced at her and said, "What do you want?"

"Shampoo, shower gel, soap, facial cleanser, and...skin care products and so on..."

She asked hurriedly, and as she spoke, she saw everyone looking at her, she suddenly felt embarrassed and her voice became lower and lower.

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "All of what you said are there, and quite a lot."

Yang Mei also smiled and said, "Rongrong, you want skin care products? I'll give you a discount. Not many people buy these products. People still consume more rice, flour, oil and grain."

This is true, most of the people in Yangshan Shelter are men.

Skin care products are mainly used by young women.

People like Zhuang Shuyuan, Huang Han, Gao Jie and Han Xiangman would buy some.

And because they are supernatural beings, their skin condition is much better than that of ordinary people, so their demands in this regard are actually not too high.

Even Huang Han, Han Xiangman, Gao Jie and others, because they often need to go out on patrol and perform tasks, cannot wipe off cosmetics which have strong fragrances.

Therefore, cosmetics and skin care products have not been selling well in shopping malls and supermarkets.

On the contrary, many people still buy personal hygiene toiletries such as soap, shampoo, and toothpaste.

Zhang Rongrong couldn't help but ask, "Ah? No one is buying these? Why?"

Yang Mei explained it to her, and Zhang Rongrong finally understood.

She quickly said, "Then I'll also buy some soap, shampoo, facial cleanser, etc."

Yang Mei smiled and said, "Okay, when we get there, you can choose for yourself."

Li Xiangyang couldn't help but ask: "How do I redeem the points? What can I use to redeem the points?"

Old Man Yang said, "There are a lot of things. In addition to having fixed jobs in the Yangshan Shelter and receiving points every month, we can also earn points by hunting and fishing and selling them to slaughterhouses."

"You can also go to the mining area to mine and earn points."

"Of course, if you have any skills and make something good, you can also exchange it with others for points."

"By the way, when you arrive at Yangshan Shelter, it's best to go to the fourth floor of the complex and ask the staff to apply for a points card. This way you can trade directly with the points card in the future."

Li Xiangyang and others were amazed when they heard this, and suddenly they had the illusion of returning from primitive society to modern society.

The group chatted as they walked. Liang Yuan didn't say much to them throughout the whole process. It was basically Old Man Yang who acted as a guide and introduced the situation of the Yangshan Shelter to them.

When they were getting close to the western mining area, they saw a patrol sentry in the woods spotted them.

Immediately, six or seven people with special abilities surrounded them.

When they got closer, they found that it was Liang Yuan and his friends, and everyone smiled immediately.

The leader hurried over and shouted, "Hello, Mr. Liang."

Liang Yuan smiled and nodded, "I remember you. Are you Zhou Jin, who worked under Xiang Man?"

Zhou Jin suddenly showed excitement and said, "Mr. Liang still remembers me? I am Zhou Jin, and I followed Sister Xiangman at the beginning, but now I have been assigned to Captain Wu Ying's patrol team."

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Are Wu Ying and the others on duty at the mine today?"

"Yes, Mr. Liang, I'll take you there right away?" Zhou Jin said hurriedly.

Liang Yuan smiled and shook his head slightly: "No, I have something to do and need to go back to Yangshan Shelter. You just continue patrolling."

Zhou Jin quickly said respectfully: "Yes, Mr. Liang."

Li Xiangyang and his companions watched the whole scene, with awe on their faces.

Although this team has only seven or eight people, it is obvious that they are well-trained from the way they appear to their later positions, both offensively and defensively.

This is just one of the many patrol teams under Liang Yuan. The strength of Yangshan Shelter seems to be far beyond their imagination.

Their understanding of Liang Yuan gradually deepened, and their awe of him became even deeper.

Liang Yuan led everyone through the mining area. Although they did not enter, the lively situation in the mining area was still seen by Li Xiangyang and others.

Li Xiangyang couldn't help but whisper to Old Man Yang: "Uncle Lin, why are there so many people in this mining area? And why is it so lively?"

Old Man Yang said with a smile: "The supernatural stones in the mining area can be exchanged for points, which are very valuable. Many ordinary people don't want to go fishing in the river, nor do they dare to go hunting in the woods. Naturally, mining in the mining area has become their first choice."

"There are more people mining here, and many business-minded people will come here to do business. They can earn points by selling food and drinks."

"Over time, it will naturally become lively."

Li Xiangyang, Zhang Rongrong and others were all shocked.

Do business?
This word sounds so familiar yet distant.

It was the first time they heard this word after the great flood disaster.

Zhang Rongrong and Yang Wei also stretched their heads to look over there, and saw the mining area was bustling with activity. Everyone had a smile on their face, and hearty laughter could be heard continuously.

They all couldn't help but widen their eyes, some of them couldn't imagine the scene before them.

The spirit and energy of the people here are completely different from that of everyone in Meishan.

There was no worry about doomsday on these people's faces. No one looked sad or sighed, nor did they shed tears or feel anxious.

Instead, everyone had a smile on their face and was full of vigor.

Li Xiangyang could clearly feel the atmosphere here, which was really different.

He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Liang Yuan and Yang Mei, but saw that they were used to it and didn't seem surprised by the situation here.

Obviously, the people in this mining area are not so happy today, but have always been like this.

Li Xiangyang couldn't help but become more curious about what kind of magic this Yangshan shelter had that could allow these survivors who had lost their homes and loved ones in the flood disaster to rekindle their hope for life.

The few of them continued walking towards the Yangshan Shelter.

On the road, you can often see family members and vendors rushing to the mining area to bring food and drinks.

There are also some who got up late and prepared to mine all night, so they came here at this time.

Not long after walking, we met two patrol teams.

The patrol team came from Wuwang Pavilion. When they saw Liang Yuan, they hurried forward to greet him.

Liang Yuan nodded with a smile, exchanged a few words with everyone, and continued on his way.

Li Xiangyang was full of respect. The patrol team in Yangshan was much stronger than that in Meishan.

Basically, they were all people with special abilities, and there were five or six people in each team. No one knew how many teams there were in total. Anyway, they only encountered two or three patrol teams along the way.

From the attitude of these patrol members towards Liang Yuan, we can see how high Liang Yuan's status here is.

Therefore, he became more respectful and awed by Liang Yuan.

Li Xiangyang is like this, not to mention Zhang Rongrong and Yang Wei.

At this moment, the two of them even subconsciously dared to walk only behind Liang Yuan. This subconscious action of falling one step behind and letting Liang Yuan move forward first highlighted their inner awe.

Yang Youwei saw all this, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart again, wondering what kind of person his daughter had found this time.

Soon they arrived near the fire bamboo forest.

Looking from afar, Li Xiangyang and others saw the lush bamboo forest nestled in the mountains.

Near the bamboo forest, there is a protruding mountain wall, and outside the mountain wall there is a towering bamboo building.

From a distance, you can see many people going in and out of the bamboo building.

Outside the bamboo forest, there is a winding mountain road that is flat and clean, with a large parking lot.

Next to this winding mountain road, there is a high wall standing, built along the mountain road, surrounding the entire bamboo forest.

On the high walls, you can see a number of watchtowers and bamboo buildings, with people patrolling and looking out from above.

There is even a giant crossbow bed built on the wall.

Liang Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw this scene.

Yang Mei couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems that Lao Ma and his team have not been idle these past two days. The city wall project is almost completed."

Liang Yuan smiled and nodded, saying: "The crossbow bed above should have been made by Ding Yan and the others. It is a powerful defensive weapon."

"Why does it feel like our shelter has changed so much in just two days since I came back?" Old Man Yang couldn't help but sigh.

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Now Yangshan Shelter is in ruins and all projects are being advanced. It is a time of rapid development and it will definitely change every day."

"Let's go in and have a look."

He led his men to the gate under the city wall.

The city gate is not big, with a five-meter-wide gate and stone doors made of whole stones on both sides. There are also psychics guarding the gate.

Seeing Liang Yuan, the guard quickly stood up and ran over to greet him.

"Mr. Liang is back!"

"Mr. Liang is back!"

Everyone at the city gate stopped what they were doing and stood up to greet Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan smiled and nodded, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, everyone."

Someone shouted: "It's not hard, it's Mr. Liang who is hardworking!"

"If it weren't for Mr. Liang, we wouldn't know where to live now."

"Yes, Mr. Liang, Yangshan Shelter is our home. It's not hard for us to guard our home."

Liang Yuan couldn't help but smile even more as he listened to their shouts.

Li Xiangyang was shocked when he saw the smiles on these people's faces and their words.

Home...a strange yet familiar word.

This group of people should have been stray dogs displaced by the flood.

But these people have found a home again in the Yangshan Shelter.

No wonder, no wonder their faces are filled with smiles and everyone looks so energetic and vibrant.

After passing the city wall, you can see a huge flat slope inside.

There are many houses located in an orderly manner.

The weeds and trees that once stood there have long been dug up, filled in, and paved with stone slabs.

Even if it rains, it doesn't splash much mud, making it look clean and tidy.

Li Xiangyang once again discovered the differences between this shelter and the Jieshi Academy.

There are many women, elderly people and children here.

They lived within the city walls, and everyone had their own things to do.

The old people did sewing and washing, while the children helped with chopping wood and bamboo.

On the stone road, everyone who saw Liang Yuan would stop what they were doing, smile and greet him.

Li Xiangyang once again felt how high Liang Yuan's status was here.

Compared with here, Jieshi Academy is really like a slum, simple and unplanned.

The houses in Jieshi Academy were at best wooden houses built against the walls of the academy.

But some of the houses here are carved out of the mountain walls, some are built of stones, and some are built of bamboo with embedded wooden boards.

All in all, this place is more like a village than their Jieshi Academy.

Zhang Rongrong, Yang Wei and Yang Youwei looked around, their eyes full of envy and surprise.

Since the great flood, some people are even unable to leave the buildings and are trapped in the flood.

But I didn't expect that someone had already built a village-like shelter on this mountain.

Zhang Rongrong couldn't help but ask, "Is this the Yangshan Shelter? It's really lively."

Yang Wei couldn't help but say: "Everyone seems very happy, it's really different."

Li Xiangyang also took a deep breath. He felt that if he were an ordinary survivor, he would really want to integrate here.

When Old Man Yang heard what they said, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "This is just the beginning. This is just the periphery of our Yangshan Shelter. The real core area is not here."

"What? This is not a core area?" Li Xiangyang was shocked.

Zhang Rongrong also looked at him in surprise: "Such a lively place is not in the core area?"

Old Man Yang laughed and said, "The core area is behind the Fire Bamboo Forest. That's where the supermarket base is, and it's the most prosperous place in Yangshan Shelter."

Liang Yuan turned to Yang Mei and said with a smile, "Sister Mei, you and Uncle Lin should take your dad and the others for a walk around the area."

Yang Mei nodded. She knew that Liang Yuan had not come back for two days and must have a lot of things to do.

"You go and do your own thing, I'll entertain them." Yangmei said gently.

Liang Yuan smiled and said to Yang Youwei and the others, "Uncle Yang, Sister Mei will show you around. I'll go back and take care of some things first."

Yang Youwei nodded quickly: "Okay, okay, you go ahead and do your thing, don't worry about us."

Liang Yuan nodded and walked towards the bamboo building.

Yang Mei turned around and smiled, "Dad, Xiangyang, Rongrong, Yang Wei, Uncle Lin and I will take you to have a look around."

Old Man Yang teased, "When you see the complex cafeteria later, don't drool over it, hahaha."

Li Xiangyang and the others looked at each other, all revealing a strong curiosity.

……

Liang Yuan went all the way back to the top floor of the bamboo building, but there was no one at home.

He was not surprised and took a shower and changed his clothes first.

At this time, footsteps were heard outside. Liang Yuan had just come out of the bathroom when a figure rushed towards him.

A fragrant breeze blew over, and Song Wen's happy laughter was heard.

"Brother Liang! You are finally back. I missed you so much."

Liang Yuan held her in his arms, and her two long, beautiful legs wrapped around his waist.

Song Wen's fragrant body pressed against his chest, making him smile.

Liang Yuan couldn't help but laugh and said, "How much do you miss it?"

Song Wen said without hesitation: "I dream about it!"

"I just heard that you were back, so I hurried home."

Liang Yuan laughed and carried her straight to the bedroom.

"Then I have to see if you really miss me."

"oops--"

Song Wen screamed shyly, and soon strange noises were heard from the bedroom.

After a long time, Song Wen collapsed weakly on the bed.

Liang Yuan stroked her shoulder gently. It was true that a short separation was better than a new marriage.

Just now, Song Wen really looked like she wanted to eat him up, and two or three times wasn't enough.

Fortunately, he had a very strong physique and finally subdued the female anchor.

"Brother Liang, did you find Sister Mei's family when you went to Meishan this time?"

Liang Yuan nodded slightly: "Yes, but there was an accident, and your sister Mei's mother did not survive."

When Song Wen heard this, her face suddenly changed and she quickly asked what happened.

Liang Yuan briefly recounted what happened in Meishan.

Song Wen was so angry that her face turned red. She said, "How dare these beasts do such a thing? We are all from the same village, how could they do such a thing?"

Liang Yuan shook his head slightly: "In Midu Garden, everyone is a neighbor living in the same building. We have chatted in the homeowners group many times before, but in the end, everyone went crazy and killed each other."

Song Wen's eyes were slightly red, and she asked, "Is Sister Mei okay?"

Liang Yuan shook his head: "It's not a big deal. Her father is still alive. She still has hope in her heart. At least her relatives have been found."

Song Wen heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this, and then she thought of something, her eyes slightly reddened, and she said, "I don't know how my parents are doing."

She is not a native of Linjiang City. Her hometown is Heze, Shandong, which is tens of thousands of miles away from Linjiang. It is impossible for her to go back to find her parents.

Liang Yuan patted her back gently and said softly, "The terrain in Shandong is much higher than here. It may not be a problem."

Song Wen's eyes were slightly red, and she just nodded, but she knew that there was no way to contact her parents now.

Seeing that she was in a low mood, Liang Yuan changed the subject and said, "By the way, I gave you a lot of mutant sunflower seeds before I left. How are you doing now?"

Song Wen's attention was distracted, and she showed joy in her eyes. She said, "I was just about to tell you that the mutant sunflower seeds are much better than the ones you gave me before. Every one of them has sprouted."

"Aunt Li and I worked together to ripen these mutant sunflowers. They have now bloomed and are now releasing sunlight."

“We planted all these sunflowers near the plantation and made a sun area according to your idea.”
