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

Chapter 75 I Think They Should Be That
Liang Yuan said, "That's what I was going to say."

"The process of mutation is not irreversible."

“It seems that this process can be forcibly interrupted by the outside world.”

"When I killed Liu Erlong, he was also in the process of mutation."

"But he failed to mutate and awaken in the end, and was killed by me."

"I also gained experience from that battle. I tried my best to save Ding Yan's life and disrupted her mutation process, thus restoring her sanity."

"So... I don't recommend that you try to awaken your mutant abilities right away. At the very least, don't try to awaken your mutant abilities lightly before we find a way to overcome the drawbacks of this kind of emotional domination."

His words made everyone nod in agreement.

Although everyone felt it was a pity, they really didn't want to take the risk.

No one wants to gain powerful abilities and then become a madman who only knows how to kill and destroy.

"Having said so much, I want to say that we now have a master who has awakened his mutant abilities. We are not without any confidence in facing Wang Yanmei."

"What do you think?"

Lao Ma said, "Can you wait a few days before you do it? I'll be able to help after my injury heals."

Zhao Kai was also a little depressed, and said: "My hand... can't recover in a short time, but I still have my left hand. Brother Liang, Sister Ding, if you need me, just let me know."

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Old Ma, Zhao Kai, you guys just focus on recovering from your injuries. It's not advisable to have too many people to deal with Wang Yanmei."

"She's very fast. If there are too many of us here, we'll just become targets."

"Two or three people would be enough."

"It's just me, Brother Cai, and Ding Yan. "

"To deal with Wang Yanmei, we also need to check if there are any mutant creatures in the building."

"You also have a mission. Try to find out which households in the 76 units of the 6 buildings have pets. We haven't checked the other units 3, 4, 5, and 6. What's going on there? Are there any small groups? Are there any bullies like Liu Erlong? You need to investigate all of this."

"Deal with Wang Yanmei. We still need to do this when we come back."

"Also, we need to collect wood, batteries, fans and other things."

Liang Yuan said a lot in one breath.

Everyone understood the first part, but when it came to the latter part, they couldn't help but feel confused.

Only Ding Yan understood what he was going to do, and asked quickly, "You want to make a boat?"

Liang Yuan said in a deep voice: "It's not that easy to make a boat. We don't have professionals in this field here. My idea is that we should take a raft first."

“We can’t stay in this building forever.”

"The food here will run out sooner or later, and we can't just eat fish forever."

“Without vegetables and vitamins, we will still get sick and die.”

"We need to find as much land as possible to truly survive."

“I don’t know when this heavy rain will stop.”

Liang Yuan sighed, causing everyone to be shocked.

Yes, if this heavy rain continues, the world will also change.

It's impossible for them to hide in this building forever.

"But... looking for land, the flood has already submerged the tenth floor, how can we find land?" Aunt Li asked worriedly.

This time, Zhao Kai spoke without Liang Yuan saying anything: "Brother Liang, do you want to go to Taiyang Mountain or Meishan Mountain?"

His words made everyone's eyes light up.

Old Ma couldn't help but patted his Simmons mattress: "Yes, in the whole Linjiang City, the only places with relatively high altitudes are these mountains."

"Although the highest mountain is over at Cangqiong Mountain, the Sun Mountain near us is not that short. I remember the official data, the altitude of Sun Mountain is about 340 meters, right? It is second only to Cangqiong Mountain, and is considered the second highest mountain in Linjiang."

Cai Zhi couldn't help but say, "Yes, Sun Mountain is indeed high enough. I remember there are tourist temples and inns for tourists to rest on the top of Sun Mountain. If we can get there, even if the flood continues, it shouldn't be flooded in a short time."

Liang Yuan nodded: "Yes, if Taiyang Mountain is flooded, Linjiang will be completely submerged."

"It's not just the altitude that's the problem there, it's mainly the land."

"As long as we have land, we won't starve to death."

Everyone's heart was slightly moved when they heard this.

The Chinese have a special obsession with land.

No matter how good the city is, we cannot abandon the countryside.

Digging for food in the soil is the concept and consciousness in the genes of every Chinese.

Even in the city, the first floor with a yard is more expensive than the ordinary prime floor.

why?
Isn’t it because there is a yard and a piece of land?
"That's too far-fetched, everyone. This is just our current plan. The most urgent task is to collect resources."

"Everyone, take a break today. I'll treat you all. Come to my place for lunch later."

"Sister Mei, I'm afraid you'll have to work hard later."

Yang Mei was worried that she seemed to be the most useless person in the entire team.

Even Ding Yan has awakened her mutant abilities, but she can only rely on her beauty and stay by Liang Yuan's side as a vase.

Even if others didn't say anything, she felt a little guilty.

She was worried that she would become a burden to the team again.

When she suddenly heard Liang Yuan assigning her a task, she was immediately delighted. Instead of being unhappy, she was filled with joy.

Being assigned a task means that you are useful and not a burden.

She nodded quickly and said, "Yes, everyone come over at noon, I'll make something delicious for everyone to try."

Wu Qian hurriedly said, "Don't be too generous. We still have to save some food."

Liang Yuan interrupted her and said with a smile: "Leave the food to me, Sister Wu, don't think too much, I don't need the food seized from Liu Erlong."

Sister Wu was immediately embarrassed and quickly said, "That's not what I meant..."

Liang Yuan smiled and waved his hand, not dwelling on the topic.

Ninety percent of Liu Erlong's supplies are in his inventory.

How much did Sister Wu and the others take in total?
After everything was discussed, Liang Yuan said goodbye to everyone in 3202 and took Yang Mei back to 3201.

Ding Yan looked at their departing backs and pursed her lips slightly.

The others returned to their rooms one after another. Wu Qian cleaned up the dishes and saw that Ding Yan hadn't returned yet, so she walked over to her and said, "Ding Yan, what are you looking at?"

Ding Yan shook her head slightly: "Nothing."

Wu Qian smiled and said, "Yangmei is different today, right?"

"what?"

Ding Yan was stunned.

Wu Qian whispered, "Didn't you see it? Yang Mei's skin condition today is much better than before. Her face is rosy and looks like you could squeeze water out of her."

Ding Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Yang Mei is indeed pretty. She follows Liang Yuan, Liang Yuan will not treat her badly, and the food and drink should be good."

"Silly boy, how can she be that delicate because of eating and drinking? We women, without the nourishment of men, how can we be that delicate?"

"I think she is with Liang Yuan..."

Wu Qian chuckled softly, her expression quite teasing.

Ding Yan was stunned. She didn't know why, but she suddenly felt a little sad.

While they were talking, Aunt Li also walked into the kitchen. When she heard this topic, she immediately joined in.

Women are all gossipy, especially older ladies.

"Hey, Yao'er's mother, you noticed it too?"

"Hey, we've all been through this, how could you hide it from me?" Wu Qian said with a smile.

Aunt Li also laughed, then stopped talking and said with emotion: "Yang Mei is lucky to be with a reliable man."

"Yeah, it's a pity that she's married. If she hadn't been married, she would have been Liang Yuan's legal wife."

"Xiao Wu, then you don't understand again. Men are all the same. None of them are good. Take our previous leader, Wu David, for example. You know him, right? He's the big boss of the neighborhood office."

"I heard that he just likes other people's wives. He seems to have had affairs with women from several neighborhoods in our area. One time, he even made a scene at the neighborhood office."

"Ah? There is such a thing? I remember that Wu Dawei's wife was also very pretty." "Look at you, you are still young, don't you understand? How can a domestic flower be as fragrant as a wild flower?"

……

Ding Yan returned to the bedroom with a buzzing mind. Aunt Li and Sister Wu's gossiping ability was beyond her imagination.

Especially Aunt Li, she is worthy of being the backbone of the office and she is really good at speaking.

He insisted on talking to them for more than ten minutes.

Back in the bedroom, Ding Yan sighed and shook her head: "What are you thinking about? You are already a fallen woman, and you are much older than her."

Ding Yan put away her distracting thoughts. She was 31 years old this year and felt a little inferior about her age.

Coupled with her previous experiences, she has even less courage when it comes to relationships.

Suppressing the distracting thoughts in her mind, she couldn't help but miss her parents in Huamei Garden. She didn't know how they were doing now.

When Liang Yuan talked about making the raft, her first reaction was not to seek refuge in Sun Mountain, but to find her parents.

At the end of this great flood, there are all kinds of mutated creatures, and I don’t know whether my parents are safe or have food.

……

In the small study, Zhao Kai leaned against the bay window.

He had one arm hanging and with his other hand he took out a photo from his arms.

The photo shows a young couple.

They each raised a hand and made a heart shape with their hands.

The boy is young and handsome, with messy hair, wearing a shirt, and looking sunny and cheerful.

The girl has fair skin, is playful and cute, has a pair of dimples on her round face, and looks very youthful.

"Xiaoman~"

Zhao Kai stroked the girl's cheek in the photo, his eyes filled with tears.

"You said you would take me to meet your parents this year, but you didn't keep your word..."

"Today is our fifth anniversary of love. We agreed to take a photo shoot together. Why did you leave me...why..."

He looked up at Hong Tao and murmured, "No matter what, in my heart, you are my wife, my wife. Don't worry, I will find a way to meet your parents and fulfill my promise."

"Brother Liang said he can make a raft. I will ask him when the time comes. Your house is not far from our wedding house. He will definitely agree."

"You know what? I miss you every day. I miss you so much... wuwu..."

……

He is an orphan who has always felt inferior since childhood. He completed his high school education through his own efforts and odd jobs.

He had worked as a salesperson and a delivery man, and he met her during one of his delivery jobs.

She is a college student, and every time he delivered takeout to her, she would always say thank you to him with a smile and give him enough respect.

That's how they met. She did not look down on his family background or his academic qualifications, but encouraged him to be positive and work hard to become self-reliant.

With her encouragement, he obtained a bachelor's degree through self-study, joined a construction company, and started to develop his business little by little.

That day, he mustered up the courage to confess his love to her.

But she smiled and said, "Why did you say this only now?"

At that moment, he knew that he could only love and pamper her for the rest of his life.

Everything was destroyed on that stormy night.

He experienced despair and lost the one he loved most.

Every night, when there was a storm outside, he always fell into endless pain.

In the end times, everyone who survives has his or her own story.

Either touching or painful.

Longing, like a tide, surged towards him.

Pain, regret, self-blame, and all kinds of emotions seemed to drown him and suffocate him.

A faint light gradually flowed over his body.

However, the light only flashed for a few breaths before slowly dissipating.

……

Aunt Li returned to the room and saw her husband Ma Guocai leaning against the head of the bed, seemingly thinking.

She couldn't help asking, "What are you thinking about?"

Ma Guocai said: "Xiao Liang is a man who can do big things. Look at him. He just defeated Liu Erlong and he already has a new plan here."

Aunt Li also sighed when she heard this and said, "Yes, Xiao Liang is a man with his own ideas. Do you think we really need to leave here?"

"I see there's a huge flood outside, and there are so many mutant beasts in the water. Can we make a small raft to stop the flood?"

"Don't just ..."

She stopped here, fearing that it might be unlucky.

Ma Guocai sighed: "You are just a woman's opinion. Xiao Liang is right. We can't stay in this building forever."

"Just think about it, how much food can there be in this building? With so many people trapped here, the food will be consumed very quickly."

"If we eat too many of those mutant fish, I'm afraid that we will also mutate as Xiao Liang said."

"If more and more people awaken their mutant abilities and become monsters like Wang Yanmei, then this building will be dangerous."

"Another thing is that eating fish and meat all the time, without rice, flour, carbohydrates, or vegetables, is not a big deal. The key is that your disease...we still have to find a way to get insulin."

When Aunt Li heard this, she also looked worried.

Diabetes is a chronic disease. If it is not well controlled, blood sugar levels will rise, which is actually very dangerous.

"So I think it's time to collect wood and build a raft."

"No matter what, we have to prepare for the retreat. With the raft, no matter what the situation, everyone can leave in time."

After hearing this, Aunt Li nodded and wiped her tears: "It's all because of me that I've dragged you down."

"Why are you saying that? We are just an old married couple."

……

At Cai Zhi's house, Wu Qian asked her daughter to take the plate and go to the side to eat the cakes, while she went to the windowsill.

Seeing Cai Zhi looking at the heavy rain outside with a dazed look on his face, she couldn't help but ask, "What are you looking at?"

Cai Zhi didn't look back, but sighed: "When do you think this rainstorm will stop?"

Hearing this, Wu Qian looked at the continuous heavy rain outside, her face full of worry: "How can we say for sure? At the beginning, the TV said it was the typhoon. Who could have thought that this rain would last for half a year."

"Yeah, who could have thought of that? If we had known earlier, we would have run to higher ground instead of being trapped at home."

Cai Zhi sighed and said, "Am I useless?"

"Ah? Why do you say that about yourself?" Wu Qian was surprised and couldn't help asking.

Cai Zhi sighed, "When Liu Erlong was beaten, Lao Ma and I were hiding at home and couldn't help."

"When we went to negotiate with Wang Meng and his group, Lao Ma and I stood in the back and were unable to help."

"After that, I was forced to hide in Unit 2 by a few mutant cats. If it weren't for Liang Yuan, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to come back until now."

"I'm not even as good as Xiao Zhao. I don't care about my life in a fight. I would drag Liu Erlong with me even if I die."

"Now I'm even worse than Ding Yan. She has awakened her mutant ability. I'm such a useless piece of shit."

Cai Zhi smiled bitterly.

Wu Qian hugged him softly: "You know what? I don't want you to be as powerful as Xiao Liang, nor do I want you to be as desperate as Xiao Zhao. I don't need you to be like Xiao Ding and risk turning into a monster to awaken some mutant ability."

"I just want you to be with me and Yaoyao. What I need is a husband, and what Yaoyao needs is a father."

"Since the great flood, you have taken good care of us. You didn't let us starve to death, and you didn't let the bad guys bully us. Husband, you are actually better than many people."

Cai Zhi was stunned for a moment, then looking at his wife's gentle face, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Nice to have you."
