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

Chapter 321: Service and Gains

Tu Long saw Liang Yuan studying the floating boards, so he squatted down to study them and asked, "Mr. Liang, is there any problem with these floating boards?"

"The buoyancy is abnormal. With such a thin layer of floating board, so many of us stood on it but it didn't sink."

Tu Long immediately thought of something when he heard this, and said, "There is obviously adhesive between these bottles and the plastic sheets. Does this look like the sea cucumber mucus collected from our Yangshan Farm?"

Liang Yuan nodded slightly: "The adhesive is indeed sea cucumber mucus. It is not only extremely sticky, but also strong and wear-resistant, and not easy to fall off. However, sea cucumber mucus does not have such strong buoyancy."

The two men turned over the plastic bottles and plastic plates one by one and checked for suspicious areas.

Seeing this, Qi Delong on the side couldn't help but said: "Mr. Liang, I may know the reason."

Liang Yuan heard this and turned to look at him in surprise: "You know?"

Qi Delong nodded slightly, pointed to the plastic platform under his feet, and said, "Under here, there are actually several huge buoyancy bearing devices in the swim bladder."

When Liang Yuan heard this, he was stunned for a moment and asked, "How do you know?"

Qi Delong hesitated for a moment and said, "I once wanted to sneak into Building 87 to rescue people, and accidentally discovered the devices under these plastic platforms."

Liang Yuan looked Qi Delong up and down, and suddenly asked, "What is your special ability?"

Qi Delong was silent for a while, and finally said: "Water attribute ability."

Liang Yuan suddenly realized that for someone with water-attributed abilities, diving would be a piece of cake for him.

He immediately said to Tu Long: "I'll go down and take a look. I'll leave this to you."

"Don't worry, Mr. Liang, leave it to me."

A layer of mental power quickly enveloped Liang Yuan's body, forming a spherical barrier that wrapped him up.

Then Liang Yuan jumped into the water and quickly went to the bottom of the platform to look.

All around the platform, you can see plastic boxes of varying sizes inlaid and glued together.

Liang Yuan moved closer and with a flick of his hand, the plastic box broke into pieces.

The box was indeed hollow, with a huge swollen fish bladder tied inside.

The fish swim bladder is very large, about 40 cubic centimeters, round and filled with gas.

There are many such fish bladders and boxes under this platform.

It is thanks to these fish bladders that this thin layer of plastic board and the plastic bottle can float steadily on the water.

"What a fantastic idea! They actually thought of using the buoyancy of fish bladders to make floating platforms."

Liang Yuan sighed in his heart, it turns out that human wisdom is infinite.

The fish maw can be inflated to make a floating platform. If we expand our thinking, can it also be used to make boats or something like that?
Liang Yuan checked the design again and found that after the fish bladder was inflated, the sealing part was still glued with sea cucumber mucus.

The plastic box outside is a protective measure to prevent underwater mutant creatures from accidentally biting the fish bladder.

This protective measure is a bit crude. The defense of the plastic box is very poor. If you encounter some mutant creatures such as mutant crabs, they can easily cut the plastic box into pieces and destroy the fish bladders inside.

He immediately returned to the surface and saw Li Xiangyang coming back with the boat.

Under Tu Long's command, 87 rescued women and children were sent on board one after another.

Soon all 87 victims were rescued and put on rafts and small boats.

Liang Yuan took advantage of the gap to search for usable supplies floor by floor and packed them all into the inventory.

After doing all this, the third transport raft arrived.

Liang Yuan looked at Yan Congjun, Qi Delong and others and asked, "How are you guys thinking about it?"

Yan Congjun and the others were still hesitating, so Qi Delong said, "Mr. Liang, can I go back and discuss this with everyone?"

Liang Yuan nodded and said, "My boat is outside the community. We will only wait for you for two hours. After two hours, we will leave."

Qi Delong nodded quickly. At this time, a short and thin young man suddenly gritted his teeth and shouted, "Mr. Liang, I want to join you."

Liang Yuan heard this and looked at the other party.

Yan Congjun and Qi Delong's expressions changed slightly.

Yan Congjun couldn't help but ask, "Li Xiaojun, why don't you go back and discuss this with your companions?"

Li Xiaojun looked bitter and sighed, "Uncle Yan, Uncle Qi, we have nowhere else to go. Not only have we run out of food, but our people have been eating mutant fish for almost a month, and some have gone crazy."

"I'm afraid if I continue like this, I won't be able to control everyone soon, and then I might end up following Lai Zhiyong's old path."

Yan Congjun, Qi Delong and others all changed their expressions, and only then did they realize that the situation in the apartment building where Li Xiaojun lived was difficult.

Yan Congjun asked, "Xiaojun, how many people do you have?"

Li Xiaojun looked gloomy and said, "A month ago, Aunt Zhang on the 19th floor of our building suddenly awakened on her own. But because she lived alone, no one knew she had awakened."

"By the time we found her, she had already failed to awaken and turned into a mutant monster."

"As you know, once a monster becomes a mutant, its awakening speed will become very fast, and her strength will also increase very quickly."

"Many people in our building sacrificed their lives. We finally managed to kill her. Now, there are only twelve people left in the building."

Li Xiaojun's words immediately made everyone change color.

The failure of mutation and becoming a mutant monster is a big stone in everyone's heart.

For ordinary people, they are eager to awaken and then possess powerful super powers.

But they are also worried that if the awakening fails, they might become horrible mutated monsters.

For those with special abilities, they are also worried about the emergence of mutant monsters.

Because most mutated monsters have lost their sanity and only have instincts and residual memories left, they will choose the fastest way to evolve.

They evolve extremely quickly, and can even surpass normal psychics in a short period of time.

Yan Congjun sighed, patted Li Xiaojun on the shoulder, and said, "My condolences."

Li Xiaojun laughed bitterly and said, "I have nowhere to go now. Lai Zhiyong is dead too. I am here to exchange the remaining supernatural stone beads for rice or something like that."

"Right now...the people in our building really have nowhere to go."

As he said that, he looked at Liang Yuan and said, "Mr. Liang, I want to join the Yangshan Shelter. Please take us in."

Liang Yuan looked at the young man and asked, "How old are you?"

"twenty five."

"can not tell."

Li Xiaojun was helpless and said, "I have a baby face and look young."

Liang Yuan nodded and said, "It's rare that your building can maintain relative order during such a difficult time. Since you can become the leader of those people, I think you must have some skills."

"What is your power?"

Li Xiaojun said honestly: "I am a fire-attributed supernatural being. Because of my ability, I can also make fire and cook, saving fuel. Therefore, everyone gives me face and tends to listen to me."

Liang Yuan smiled. This was of course a self-deprecating statement.

Fire-attribute psychics are much stronger in combat than ordinary strength-type and speed-type psychics.

After all, one is a physical attack and the other is a magical attack.

Li Xiaojun can become the boss of a building, his supernatural powers must be able to convince everyone.

Otherwise, just knowing how to make a fire and saving fuel would not make everyone listen to him.

Liang Yuan asked, "Do you have a raft?" Li Xiaojun nodded quickly, "Yes, we didn't dare to burn the wooden floor and plastic board even though we had nothing to start a fire. We had already started making rafts, waiting for the day when we couldn't survive anymore, so we could take the raft to leave Sunshine New City."

Liang Yuan nodded: "Then go back and have your people take the raft to the outside of Sunshine New City. My boat is outside. When the time comes, you can tell me my name and the people on the boat will naturally arrange for you."

Li Xiaojun hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking, "Mr. Liang, excuse me, is there enough space on your boat? I have twelve people there."

He just saw Liang Yuan's men go back and forth three times and rescue dozens of women and children.

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, there is still plenty of space, but it's hard to say what will happen in the future."

As he said this, he looked at Yan Congjun and Qi Delong meaningfully.

The two of them felt nervous at first, and then they realized the problem of space on the ship!

Sometimes, it’s not about whether they are willing to join others, but whether others have a place for them to join.

For a moment, the dozen or so black market merchants present became a little anxious.

Qi Delong said quickly: "Mr. Liang, you guys chat first, I will go back and discuss it with the people in the building."

Liang Yuan smiled and nodded slightly.

Afterwards, Yan Congjun and other businessmen said goodbye to Liang Yuan and hurried back to their own buildings.

Liang Yuan also boarded the raft and sailed towards the Flamingo with Fu Qibo and Tu Long.

On the raft, Fu Qibo couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Liang, do you really have a shelter?"

Liang Yuan glanced at him: "Why, you don't believe it?"

"No, no, no, it's not that I don't believe it, I'm just a little shocked. We have been trapped in the flood for so long, and some buildings have difficulty even making rafts. You actually built a shelter in Yangshan. It's really amazing."

Liang Yuan smiled faintly: "Everything depends on human efforts. If you don't do it, you will never succeed. Some of them have already made rafts, but they are afraid of floods and dare not go out."

"In fact, the longer they delay, the worse it will be for them."

"As the flood continues to spread and the water level continues to rise, there will be more and more terrifying mutant creatures under the flood. Those giant mutant beasts from the deep sea will soon come over with the ocean currents."

"By that time, it will be difficult for them to leave."

Liang Yuan's words immediately made Fu Qibo excited and asked, "Do you think so too?"

"I thought so too. I had already reminded Lai Zhiyong, but he didn't listen to me at all."

"They say there are countless mutant beasts in the flood. Going out is just seeking death."

"Now he lives in the building. He is the boss of Building 87. He has food to eat and women to serve him. He has never thought about what the future will be like."

"I reminded him when the flood only reached the tenth floor, and asked him to find a way to make a raft or a boat. We have to escape to a higher place as soon as possible."

"But he actually wanted to occupy the 32nd and 31st floors."

"This bastard, when he saw the heavy rain continued and the flood reached the 20th floor, he made a small raft in a panic."

"He is still hiding on the rooftop, ready to abandon everyone here and escape alone."

"It's a pity that the turbine engine I worked so hard to develop is actually installed on such a small raft."

When Fu Qi Bo talked about this, he felt so angry that his teeth itched.

The turbo engine that he researched with great difficulty was not valued by Lai Zhiyong. Instead, those deadly weapons were regarded as treasures by the other party.

In the end, he could only be forced by Lai Zhiyong to become a puppet tool for the other party to develop more supernatural weapons.

When Liang Yuan heard this, he suddenly asked, "Can you improve the turbo engine?"

Fu Qibo was stunned and asked, "In what way can we improve it?"

Liang Yuan said: "The kinetic energy has increased."

Fu Qibo said quickly: "Of course, the turbine you see on our small raft is actually made by me using the leftover mutant beast bones. They are all smaller types of bones."

"If it is scaled up, you can imagine that its kinetic energy will definitely increase a lot."

“Of course, the strength of the kinetic energy does not depend on the size of the turbine, but also on the energy source.”

"I have embedded several energy stone beads inside the turbine. If you want to increase the kinetic energy and endurance, you will need a large number of energy stone beads."

"And the bigger the turbine, the more energy stones are needed. As you know, energy stones are very precious and difficult to obtain. So although the idea of ​​a large turbine is beautiful, it is difficult to actually realize it."

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "What if the energy problem is solved?"

"That's easy. When the time comes, we can design the turbine to be larger, and then design more runes on the bone plates so that they can be used more efficiently."

"Among the seven runes I have, only the Violence Rune is suitable for use on turbines."

"But I remember there is a mutant cuttlefish that has the ability to spray ink, which can be used as a means of attack or as a means of accelerating escape."

"If we can find relevant runes inside this mutant beast, we can further upgrade the turbine and perhaps make a jet turbine."

When it comes to this kind of thing, Fu Qi Bo seems to be very talkative, and he talks about his various ideas one after another.

Liang Yuan nodded continuously as he listened, and the more he looked at Fu Qi Bo, the more satisfied he became.

This guy is definitely a R&D talent.

If we put him in Yangshan and let him tinker with it, I'm afraid he can really come up with something useful for Yangshan.

"Show me the other rune bones you got." Liang Yuan interrupted his endless chatter.

Upon hearing this, Fu Qi Bo felt a little hesitant and reluctant.

But after looking at Liang Yuan's indifferent expression, he still obediently took out a cloth bag from his arms.

There was a rustling sound coming from the cloth bag, which was the sound of bones colliding.

Liang Yuan took the cloth bag and poured out the rune bones.

There are seven pieces in total, and each rune bone has a different shape.

Two of them were flat and square in shape, obviously human skulls.

As expected, this was obtained from the head of a human mutant.

Liang Yuan noticed that the runes on the two skulls were white and blue respectively.

He asked, "Have you studied these two runes?"

Fu Qibo nodded quickly: "There are three human rune bones in total. These two are skulls. The white one is the skull of a psychic, and the blue one is the skull of a water-attributed psychic."

"The runes on these two skulls represent two skills respectively."

"I haven't been able to research the spiritual rune bone skills because I haven't found the right stone beads to activate the rune skills on them."

"I've researched the blue water-attribute rune bone. It's a Water Shield skill. I once designed a shield that used this rune."

Liang Yuan looked through it and found a triangular flat bone with a red rune on it.

"Is this the one?" Liang Yuan looked at Fu Qi Bo and asked.

Fu Qibo nodded quickly: "Yes, this is it. This is the [Rage] rune, it is the shoulder blade of a power-type mutant at that time."

Liang Yuan nodded slightly, put away the rune bone, and looked at the other rune bones.

The remaining pieces are all from the bones of mutant beasts.

Suddenly, one of the black rune bones attracted Liang Yuan's attention.
