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

Chapter 331 Min Guoqiang's Thoughts
“Can that guy be trusted?”

On the raft on the way back, Wen Xiao couldn't help but ask this question again.

This operation is extremely dangerous. If it fails, there is a possibility that they will lose everything and all of them will die.

Zhang Peng also looked solemn and said, "He has no reason to harm us. Min Guoqiang is a smart man. He should be able to see Xu Liefeng's evil ambitions."

"If he wants to harm us, he will be dead soon."

"I don't believe he doesn't understand the principle of the lips and teeth being cold."

Wen Xiao thought about it and nodded silently. Indeed, Old Man Min was a cunning guy and should never be a fool.

If he had any sense at all, he shouldn't have hurt them.

"After you go back, have a good talk with Gao Yucheng, An Minghui and others." Zhang Peng said.

Wen Xiao nodded slightly: "I understand."

……

On Building 75, Min Guoqiang and Luo Yang looked at Zhang Peng and the other man leaving on the water, and both of them were silent.

Luo Yang asked: "Uncle Qiang, have you really decided?"

Min Guoqiang nodded slightly: "If you want to survive, this is the only way."

"But... didn't you say you wanted to go to Yangshan?"

Min Guoqiang smiled bitterly: "Yangshan? Do you think there is still a chance?"

"The flood has been raging until now, and all kinds of mutant creatures have appeared. Even if we escape to Yangshan, what can we do?"

"Maybe it has already become a paradise for mutant beasts."

Luo Yang pursed his lips, his eyes showing a fierce look: "That's better than being trapped and dying in the building. I would rather fight with the mutant beasts and die in their mouths."

Min Guoqiang sighed: "If Xu Liefeng wasn't there, I would choose to go to Yangshan."

"But now...it's different."

"Why is it different?" Luo Yang couldn't help but ask.

Min Guoqiang said: "I have received news from Xu Liefeng that the former leader of Building 88, Brother Huo Li Ye, has already taken his men to Linjiang University."

"Brother Huo? Linjiang University?" Luo Yang was stunned.

Min Guoqiang said, "There is a shipbuilding college at Linjiang University, where there are several fully functional ships docked."

"Brother Huo and his team are planning to get a ship back. If we calculate the date, they will be back soon."

"Xu Liefeng said that if Brother Huo comes back, he can promise us some places on board."

Luo Yang's eyes widened in disbelief: "Ship? They can get a ship? This... is this possible? Do you believe them?"

Min Guoqiang glanced at Luo Yang and said, "I believe it."

Luo Yang quickly asked: "Why?"

"Because I have seen those ships."

Min Guoqiang said lightly.

"I used to work as a security guard at Linjiang University, and I saw with my own eyes those large ships docked at the Shipbuilding College."

"If there is any safe place when a flood comes, I can't think of any other place except the ship."

"There are horrible mutated sea creatures in the flood, aren't there beasts in those mountains that evolve and mutate into horrible mutant monsters?"

"Only ships can avoid being submerged by floods and can be moved around to look for supplies."

"So the shelter on the ship is the safest shelter, do you understand?"

Min Guoqiang's words made Luo Yang open his mouth wide.

He couldn't help but ask, "But how do you know that Brother Huo can grab a ship? Maybe those ships have already been taken away by others?"

Min Guoqiang shook his head: "I'm gambling. Cooperating with Zhang Peng is like betting on Mr. Liang who might be in Yangshan."

"To join Xu Liefeng is to place your bet on Brother Huo."

"Do you think it's more likely that Mr. Liang can successfully reach Yangshan, or that Brother Huo can rob a ship?"

Luo Yang immediately said: "I think Mr. Liang has a higher chance!"

"Okay, then who do you think has a greater chance of winning if Xu Liefeng and his group fight against Zhang Peng and his group?"

"Uh...Xu Liefeng." Luo Yang said helplessly.

Min Guoqiang sighed, "Look, even if we join in, the chances of us defeating Xu Liefeng and his gang are slim."

"We fought hard, and even risked our lives, just for Zhang Peng to take us to Yangshan. Do you think he can be trusted?"

"Let's not talk about whether Zhang Peng and we can reach Yangshan. Even if we find Yangshan, what if Mr. Liang can't survive in Yangshan?"

"What if Mr. Liang wasn't even in Yangshan at all and died on the way?"

"Let's take a step back and say that even if Mr. Liang is on Yangshan Mountain and survives, what does this have to do with Zhang Peng?"

"We didn't help Zhang Peng this time. He died at the hands of Xu Liefeng. Would Mr. Liang know about this?"

"Even if Xu Liefeng breaks his promise, or Brother Huo fails to grab the ship, can't we go to Yangshan by ourselves?"

"Anyway, Zhang Peng and the others are dead. If we really run into Mr. Liang when we go to Yangshan, we can completely put the blame on Xu Liefeng."

Luo Yang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that what Uncle Qiang said made a lot of sense.

Indeed, to go to Yangshan, it is not necessary to have Zhang Peng and others to lead the way.

Why can't they go themselves?

On the contrary, if Brother Huo can really seize back a ship, if he wants to get on board, he really needs to show his loyalty.

Right now, aren’t Zhang Peng and his companions the best tokens of their allegiance?
Luo Yang's eyes flickered, and he said, "Then shall we really lure Xu Liefeng and the others here tomorrow?"

Min Guoqiang nodded slightly: "Well, let's lure both sides here tomorrow, and then we can just make some noise on the side, without having to take any action."

"it is good!"

……

The next morning, the sky was covered with dark clouds and it rained heavily.

A ship broke through the flood and sailed slowly on the endless water.

In the captain's room, Liang Yuan finished teaching Lu Yuyan as usual. The little girl left the captain's room sweating, panting and with a red face.

Liang Yuan came out, glanced at Zhu Yuchuan, and asked, "How long will it take us to get to Midu Garden?" "Mr. Liang, according to the map, Midu Garden is only about 30 kilometers away from here."

"If we follow the previous elevated route, we will definitely arrive in an hour or two."

Liang Yuan nodded slightly. This was because the ship was concerned about possible buildings hidden under the water and was afraid of running aground, so it slowed down.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t take two hours to travel thirty kilometers.

He looked at the map and studied the locations of Midu Garden and Linjiang University.

Midu Garden is not too far from Linjiang University, about five kilometers away.

Going to Midu Garden was just a side trip, his main goal was still Linjiang University.

Liang Yuan looked at the residential area near Linjiang University again and couldn't help but frowned slightly.

Judging from the map, Linjiang University is actually located in a relatively remote area. Although there are many buildings around it, there are not many tall ones.

Many residential communities may only have around 18 floors. I don’t know if it’s because the government doesn’t allow developers to build that high or for some other reason.

If there were only eighteen floors, it would have been submerged long ago.

Liang Yuan was a little worried, thinking that not many people from Linjiang University would survive.

He quickly looked around Linjiang University and soon found several places where there might be survivors.

Among them are several buildings behind Wanda Plaza near Linjiang University. There are four or five office buildings that are more than 30 stories high.

Liang Yuan had been to this Wanda Plaza for meals and had seen these office buildings. Theoretically, this should be the place where there are most likely to be survivors.

Then Liang Yuan looked around the five-kilometer radius of Linjiang University and saw many new residential areas.

There are many 32-story buildings like Midu Garden.

If we ignore these high-rise residential areas, the place most likely to have survivors within five kilometers of Linjiang University should be Yuanyang Mountain behind Linjiang University.

Yuanyang Mountain is very famous in Linjiang University. There are many platforms nearby where you can watch the sunrise. There is a slightly larger platform where tourists camp and watch the sunrise every year.

Of course, more people like to climb Yuanyang Mountain are students from Linjiang University.

It is worth mentioning that there are many college student couples who like to have sex outdoors on Yuanyang Mountain. In the early years, these couples were jokingly called wild mandarin ducks in the school forums.

There have even been several videos of couples having sex outdoors that have gone viral on the Internet.

Linjiang University has cracked down on this malpractice several times but has failed to stop it.

Instead, college students flock to Yuanyang Mountain, and it has become a popular spot for checking in and taking photos.

Some speculators smelled a business opportunity and built inns and guest houses on the mountain, making Yuanyang Mountain quite interesting.

Liang Yuan also went to Yuanyang Mountain for tourism and checked in in his early years, and he was accompanied by his ex-girlfriend at that time.

Thinking of Yuanyang Mountain, Liang Yuan couldn't help but recall his ex-girlfriend.

To be honest, it's only been half a year, but Liang Yuan feels like decades have passed. He even has a vague idea of ​​his ex-girlfriend's appearance.

If I hadn't thought about it deliberately, I would have almost forgotten about this person.

Sure enough, time is the best medicine to heal all emotional wounds.

The woman who once made him burdened with a mortgage of nearly one million has now become a thing of the past.

Shaking his head, Liang Yuan threw away some strange thoughts in his mind and said to Zhu Yuchuan: "There are many 18- or 19-story buildings near Meidu Garden. There is no need to speed up just to get there. Safety comes first."

Zhu Yuchuan nodded quickly: "Understood, Mr. Liang."

Liang Yuan turned and walked out of the room, came to the deck, and saw Li Qinghua and Zhou Qingming standing at the bow looking out.

He walked over and looked in the direction the two were looking, and also saw the dilapidated residential building in front.

"Do you know this place?" Liang Yuan asked casually.

Li Qinghua came back to his senses, looked at Liang Yuan, nodded slightly, and sighed: "My girlfriend's house is over there."

Liang Yuan immediately looked at Li Qinghua in surprise: "Your girlfriend?"

Li Qinghua was helpless: "Can't I have a girlfriend?"

Liang Yuan shook his head and said, "I see that you are only in your twenties and have always been alone. I didn't expect that you have a girlfriend. Do you want to go and look for her?"

Li Qinghua shook his head: "I went to look for it not long after the flood."

Upon hearing this, Liang Yuan glanced at Li Qinghua and did not ask any further questions.

Since I've looked for it, but don't have it with me, this is enough to guess the ending.

Zhou Qingming also spoke up: "Sister Wan and I are both from this community. We met Qinghua by chance at that time. It was Qinghua who saved us."

"Later, we left together and wanted to find food nearby. The nearest place was Hang Lung Building."

When Liang Yuan heard this, he suddenly remembered that this place was not far from the Hang Lung Building.

The first time I met Li Qinghua and others was near the Hang Lung Building.

"Why didn't you go to Hang Lung Building?" Liang Yuan asked.

Li Qinghua smiled bitterly and said, "It's because of the mysterious Turtle Island. As far as I remember, there is no island near the Hang Lung Building. So we stayed here to explore what this island is like."

"I didn't expect to run into you."

Liang Yuan laughed: "It's quite a coincidence. Due to the flood, some people couldn't even see their relatives and friends. I didn't expect that we could meet them twice in a row."

Li Qinghua and Zhou Qingming couldn't help but smile when they heard this.

When I think about it this way, it seems that there is really a connection between the two of us.

Li Qinghua looked at Liang Yuan and said solemnly: "Mr. Liang, thank you for taking us in and joining Yangshan."

"I'm really sorry about what happened before."

Zhou Qingming also said: "Mr. Liang, I apologize to you as well. After being in Yangshan for so long, I now understand that you are the one who really does practical things and can really lead everyone to survive."

Liang Yuan laughed and said, "Since you have already joined Yangshan, there is no need to talk about this anymore."

"You have already served in Yangshan for a month, and all grudges have been written off at that time."

"I hope you can treat Yangshan Shelter as your home in the future, rather than just my Yangshan."

“Yangshan is still Yangshan even without me.”

"But without Yangshan, it will be very difficult for everyone to survive in this flood apocalypse."

Li Qinghua and Zhou Qingming nodded vigorously, and both acknowledged from the bottom of their hearts their identities as members of Yangshan Shelter.
