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

Chapter 347: Sudden Hearing of Gene Species

When he arrived at Main Building No. 1, Liang Yuan saw Professor Li with tears streaming down his face, wiping them away continuously.

Li Hanzhong's wife Shen Hongmei was lying on the bed, unconscious.

But looking at her peaceful expression, it was clear that she was not in pain.

"Thank you, thank you, Dr. Wang." Li Hanzhong held his wife Shen Hongmei's hand and kept expressing his gratitude to Wang An who was standing beside him.

Wang An waved his hand quickly and said with a smile: "Professor Li, you are too polite. I am not a doctor. I just happened to awaken the healing ability."

Li Hanzhong said: "My wife's arthritis has never been cured. Before the flood, we went to many hospitals but nothing worked. We could only take painkillers to relieve the symptoms."

"Your special ability is more effective than those doctors in the hospital. You are a living miracle doctor to me."

Li Hanzhong's words made Wang An laugh and cry. It was the first time someone called him a doctor.

When he was in Yangshan, everyone either called him Captain Wang or Boss Wang.

Wang An said quickly, "Please don't say that. We have a doctor in our shelter, and he's a Chinese medicine doctor. If he hears you saying that, he might get upset."

Li Hanzhong was overjoyed when he heard this: "You have a doctor in your shelter?"

Ding Yan smiled and said, "Professor Li, our shelter is quite large. We have a Chinese medicine doctor who is currently doing consultations in our shelter. He also participates in some research on mutant drugs. When you come over, our Yangshan R&D team will be expanded again."

Li Hanzhong immediately showed a look of longing. What he loved most in his heart was scientific research.

Wang An also said: "My treatment is just superficial. Although it has relieved Mrs. Shen's symptoms, it is only a temporary solution. Her joints are already deformed. She needs to ask Dr. Yang for professional advice."

Li Hanzhong nodded quickly and said, "Good, good, it's already very good. My wife couldn't sleep because of the pain before, but now she can sleep so soundly, which is very rare."

At this time Liang Yuan walked in and said with a smile: "Professor Li, the times are different now. The great flood certainly brought terrible disasters to everyone, but it also caused many creatures to mutate. Many new opportunities are right in front of us."

"Your wife's situation might have been difficult to resolve before the flood, but it may not be the case now."

"Mr. Liang."

"Liang Yuan, you're here."

Wang An and Ding Yan both greeted Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan smiled and nodded, then sat down opposite Li Hanzhong and said, "Professor Li, I'm Liang Yuan, the leader of the Yangshan Shelter."

Upon hearing this, Li Hanzhong quickly stood up and thanked him, "Hello, Mr. Liang. I, I really don't know how to thank you. If you hadn't come to save me and my wife this time, I'm afraid we wouldn't have made it through this year."

Liang Yuan consoled him, "Professor Li, you are too polite. You are an expert in the field of shipbuilding. You will be sought after wherever you are. The people in Lishui Garden do not know who you are, nor do they understand your importance, so they have ignored you."

"You can join us in Yangshan in the future. Aunt Shen's arthritis can be treated here in Yangshan."

"Yangshan Shelter can help you with all other life problems."

Li Hanxin was very happy. He had already learned about the situation in Yangshan from Ding Yan.

He never dreamed that after the collapse of human society, one day he would be able to make a living with his knowledge.

"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Liang. Don't worry, I know why you asked me to do this. I swear here that I will definitely help Yangshan build the best ship."

Liang Yuan laughed. Just hearing this was enough.

He immediately smiled and asked, "By the way, I see that your mental power is very active and your physical fitness is also beyond that of ordinary people. Have you awakened any mental abilities?"

Li Hanzhong knew that Mr. Liang was a truly powerful man, as he could see through his awakened supernatural powers at a glance.

He knew he couldn't hide it anymore, so he just said directly, "Yes, to be honest with you, Mr. Liang, I did awaken my special abilities, but they are not for combat."

"My special ability has only greatly improved my mental calculation ability, memory ability and other aspects."

"I can feel the presence of mental power, but I can't perform any special mental attacks or skills."

When Liang Yuan heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Your ability tends to be auxiliary?"

"Yes, I feel that my brain is like a high-precision instrument, or even like an intelligent computer, capable of high-speed thinking and processing of things."

"I guess this may be related to my long-term work in research and development."

Li Hanzhong said helplessly.

This guess is very likely to be true. Everyone's awakening direction is different, which has a lot to do with what their heart desires most.

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Professor Li, isn't this ability very suitable for you to do research and development?"

"That's true, but how much research and development can be done in this world? I can barely keep myself and my family alive and have enough to eat."

Li Hanzhong gave a bitter smile. When he first awakened his special powers, he really hoped that he would have strong fighting power so that he could gain a foothold in Lishui Garden and get some food and medicine for his wife.

Unfortunately, the ability he awakened was an auxiliary one, which made him fall into despair for a time.

If Liang Yuan and the others hadn't appeared in time, his wife might really not have survived this time.

When Liang Yuan heard this, he immediately said, "Professor Li, after you join us at Yangshan, you no longer need to worry about survival."

"For someone with research and development abilities like yours, the best place to stay is actually a refuge with a stable environment."

"The more rules there are in a place, the more welcome people like you will be."

"I can assure you that once you join our Yangshan Shelter, you won't have to worry about your life anymore, and your wife won't have to worry about anything either."

Hearing this, Li Hanzhong's eyes showed excitement and he said, "Thank you, thank you."

He also knew that R&D talents like himself could only be reused in a mature shelter.

The smaller the shelter, the more backward it is, and the less likely it is to focus on research and development.

Small shelters like these are basically still struggling for survival, so they don't have the time to care about things like research and development.

So his life in Lishui Garden was miserable. The main reason was that this small shelter in Lishui Garden did not completely solve the problem of food and clothing.

Just like the society before the Great Flood, the more backward the place is, the more formalism and bureaucracy there is.

Really talented people find it difficult to be reused, while everyone is still toasting and giving gifts for things like houses and cars.

In this environment, how is it possible to cultivate talents who focus on academics and research and development?

This is why capable people are trying so hard to move to big cities.

Li Hanzhong had experienced that era, so how could he not understand this truth.

At this moment, he truly felt that joining the Yangshan Shelter organized by Mr. Liang was the right choice.

He thought about it and felt that he should show some ability so that the higher-ups of the shelter would take him seriously.

At that moment, Li Hanzhong said, "Speaking of research and development, I actually did some research and development in my spare time while solving the problem of food and clothing in Lishui Garden."

"Oh?"

Speaking of this, Liang Yuan suddenly became interested and looked at Li Hanzhong.

Li Hanzhong took out a mutant fish skull from his arms.

The fish skull is not too big, only the size of a palm, and has a set of runes engraved on it.

Li Hanzhong said: "This is the rune I wrote down from the rune bone in the hand of a superpower."

Liang Yuan immediately took the mutant fish skull and looked at it.

The rune patterns were complicated, and Liang Yuan was surprised and asked, "Did you memorize it by rote?"

Li Hanzhong said: "Yes, my 'super brain' ability gives me this ability."

"After I wrote down this rune, I secretly tried to make some rune weapons to see if I could sell them on the black market."

"I never thought that this rune is not an attack rune, but an electromagnetic wave emission rune."

"Electromagnetic wave emission talisman?"

Liang Yuan was surprised. It was the first time he heard of such a rune.

"Yes, I used a mutant conch shell, carved this rune into it, and then tried to activate the rune with my supernatural powers."

"The conch can emit electromagnetic waves immediately, and I tested it."

"This electromagnetic wave interferes with biological brain waves."

Li Hanzhong presented all his research results.

Liang Yuan's expression suddenly became serious, and he asked, "Does it also interfere with human brain waves?"

Li Hanzhong quickly said: "I have not tried it on humans, only on mutant fish. After this kind of electromagnetic wave is emitted, it will make the mutant fish lose their mind and become extremely manic."

"However, the degree of mutation of this fish bone may not be enough. Even if I input superpowers to activate this rune, it will hardly be effective. Perhaps a trumpet-shaped mutant biological bone will be more effective."

Liang Yuan felt it and immediately shook his head and said, "It's not a problem of shape. The degree of mutation of this fish skull is very low. It is only slightly stronger than that of ordinary fish."

Liang Yuan thought about it, and immediately took out a highly mutated conch shell from his inventory.

He directly handed the conch shell to Li Hanzhong and said, "Professor Li, try to redraw this rune on this conch shell."

Upon hearing this, Li Hanzhong quickly took the conch with both hands and said, "Okay, I will make it as soon as possible."

Liang Yuan smiled: "Don't worry, just do it when you have time. Everything should be based on your body's recovery."

"Hey, thank you, Mr. Liang."

The conversation was almost over when Kong Sheng came in and whispered, "Mr. Liang, people from Lishui Garden are here." Liang Yuan stood up and said, "Then let's not disturb Professor Li. Let them rest."

Everyone stood up and said goodbye, and Ding Yan followed Liang Yuan and left the bamboo building.

When they arrived on the deck, they saw Qiu Yingyue sitting on a simple raft under the Flamingo, standing not far from the Flamingo.

On the Flamingo, Li Xiangyang and others led the patrol team to guard, with bows and arrows drawn, ready to take precautions.

On the raft, Qiu Yingyue looked solemn, feeling the fierce murderous aura of the people on this boat.

Even she dare not underestimate her.

She could feel that these people were all people with special abilities, and the bows and arrows in their hands did not seem to be ordinary bows and arrows.

If thousands of arrows were fired at once, she would be hit no matter how fast she was.

After all, this is a range attack. If she can't escape the coverage of the bow and arrow instantly, she will naturally be at risk of being hit by the arrow.

Her intuition was correct. All the bows and crossbows that Liang Yuan equipped everyone on the Flamingo were explosive arrows.

This arrow is like a small grenade and can directly cause casualties.

Unless one's defense is extremely strong, the explosive power of this explosive arrow can be ignored.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to avoid the explosion range of thousands of arrows just by relying on speed.

"Mr. Liang, Ms. Ding, I'm here! Please come out for a talk!"

Qiu Yingyue stood on the raft and shouted.

There was no one else on the raft except her.

She came here for negotiations this time. Facing a master like Liang Yuan, it would be useless no matter how many people she brought.

Instead, it is only me who can come and go freely, without any restriction.

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Why don't you come up and have a chat, Ms. Qiu?"

Qiu Yingyue narrowed her eyes and did not answer.

This is the enemy's ship. If we get on board, the danger will increase greatly.

Ding Yan stood aside and sneered, "Don't you dare?"

Qiu Yingyue thought for a moment and realized that with her speed, she might not be afraid of the other party's ambush.

The only person on this ship who could pose a threat to him was this guy named Liang.

She didn't take other ambushes seriously.

In addition, if you get on the boat, the arrows of those archers will hardly threaten you.

Thinking of this, she immediately said, "Okay, since Mr. Liang invited me, I won't be polite."

Thunder exploded, her whole body flashed with lightning, and she disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant.

The next moment, she appeared on the deck like a flash of lightning.

Everyone present had a changed expression!
"So fast!"

"This speed is so fast!"

Even Ding Yan's pupils couldn't help but shrink.

Even Tu Long and others who had already seen the opponent's speed were amazed again.

Liang Yuan still looked calm.

This woman's speed has definitely reached the level of a speed-type mutant with an agility of 50 points.

Of course, this woman’s real agility data is definitely less than 50 points. The reason why she has such a fast speed is because of the enhancement of her lightning ability.

Liang Yuan clapped his hands and said with a smile: "What a fast speed, what a lightning ability, Ms. Qiu is amazing."

Qiu Yingyue did not show any smugness, but glanced at the others, and finally fixed her eyes on Liang Yuan, and said, "Do you have the final say here?"

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "I have the final say."

"I have a deal and want to discuss it with you." Qiu Yingyue said straight to the point.

Liang Yuan was immediately surprised and said with a smile: "Oh? What deal?"

"I'll talk about this after I see my people."

Liang Yuan smiled and said to Tu Long, "Bring Qin Zihang up."

Tu Long laughed, turned around and left.

Soon, Qin Zihang was brought back.

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "The person has been brought here. What does Ms. Qiu want to talk about?"

Qiu Yingyue looked at Qin Zihang and saw that he had no external injuries, so she quickly asked, "Zihang, are you okay?"

Qin Zihang shook his head, looking somewhat ashamed, and said, "Sister Qiu, they have psychic abilities, and I couldn't withstand their interrogation, and was asked a lot of questions."

Qiu Yingyue's expression suddenly changed slightly.

There was a hint of vigilance in the look he showed when he looked at Liang Yuan.

Even with her lightning ability, it would be quite a headache if she couldn't kill a psychic with one strike.

After all, the psychic's attack methods are unpredictable, and she herself is not good at dealing with them.

"Mr. Liang, have you heard of the City of Mist?"

Qiu Yingyue thought about it and started to speak directly about her bargaining chips.

Liang Yuan smiled in his heart, he knew that the only thing that could interest the other party was this so-called foggy city.

But he was indeed interested in this foggy city.

Liang Yuan nodded: "I heard your subordinate talk about it."

Qiu Yingyue was not surprised and said, "My friend only knows about the Fog City, but he doesn't know where it is, let alone what is inside it."

"Oh? Ms. Qiu, please tell me, what is there in this foggy city?"

Qiu Yingyue smiled and said, "Can this news be exchanged for my friend?"

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "That depends on how valuable your information is, Ms. Qiu."

Qiu Yingyue said directly: "I know that you are from Yangshan and already have your own shelter. Maybe you don't like such a shelter."

"But there is something in the Fog City that will definitely interest you!"

Liang Yuan did not comment and asked, "What is it?"

Qiu Yingyue's expression darkened, and she slowly spoke three words: "Gene species!"

"what!"

Liang Yuan looked up suddenly, and his smile disappeared.

He stared at Qiu Yingyue, shocked.

Gene species?
This is a special noun given to me by the system. I am the only one who knows it in the entire Yangshan.

Where did this woman hear this term?

Seeing Liang Yuan's serious expression, Qiu Yingyue immediately laughed.

"Haven't you heard of it?"

Liang Yuan's eyes flickered, and he nodded slightly, "What are gene species? This is the first time I've heard of them."

Behind him, Ding Yan, Li Qinghua, Tu Long, Han Xiangman and others also looked over. None of them had ever heard of this genetic species.

A hint of pride emerged in Qiu Yingyue's heart.

No matter how powerful you are, you still don’t know the secret I’m telling you, right?
She said proudly: "Gene species is the genetic species base that must be condensed when an organism evolves to a certain stage."

"Once your genetic species is determined, the direction of your evolution will be determined in the future. You will evolve towards a specific genetic map and write a new chapter in your life."

Around Liang Yuan, Ding Yan, Tu Long and others all looked shocked.

It was obviously the first time they heard of such a thing!

Only Liang Yuan looked calm, as he already knew this knowledge.

However, he can only know these concepts through the system. How does the other party know them?

Qiu Yingyue is just a small leader who occupies seven or eight buildings in Lishui Garden. How could he know about these things about evolution?

All kinds of questions arose in Liang Yuan's mind.

He immediately asked: "Where did Ms. Qiu get this information? How do I know whether this information is true or false?"
