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

Chapter 812 Ling Yurong's Ambition
Upon hearing Zhang Peng's words, Liang Yuan sighed.

Have they really gotten to the point of getting married?

He didn't know what to say for a moment.

"What's wrong, Brother Liang?"

Seeing that Liang Yuan's expression was not quite right, Zhang Peng quickly asked him.

Liang Yuan simply laid his cards on the table.

"I have news about Wen Lili."

"what!"

Zhang Peng's eyes widened suddenly, his pupils contracted, and he looked somewhat incredulous.

He immediately grabbed Liang Yuan's arm excitedly: "Brother Liang, you, you say it again! You say it again!"

Liang Yuan sighed, "Don't get excited. I met Lu Dayou and Liang Minru on the floating island. They told me that Wen Lili is still alive."

"She's alive! She's still alive! That's wonderful, wonderful, hahaha—"

Zhang Peng laughed heartily, tears streaming down his face.

He knelt on the ground, pounding the floor and laughing loudly.

He immediately looked up and asked, "Brother Liang, where is she? Where is Lili? I need to find her!"

Liang Yuan shook his head: "She was originally on the floating island, but Lu Dayou said that she could never let go of you, so despite being ambushed by the mutated beasts in the sky, she still left that floating island to find you."

"As for now, I don't know where she is."

Zhang Peng was stunned. He was a little excited: "How could this be? How could she be so stupid? I, Brother Liang, I want to find her! I have to find her!"

"Where did she look for me? I need to find her!"

Zhang Peng shouted excitedly.

Just then, Wen Xiao, Wen Fang, and Gao Yucheng came out of the shopping mall in the leisure square.

Hearing Zhang Peng's excited voice, Wen Fang asked curiously, "Brother Peng, who are you going to find?"

In an instant, Zhang Peng, who had been excited, froze on the spot.

He didn't dare turn around for a moment, and his face gradually turned pale.

As Wenfang walked over, she handed over a cloth bag and said, "Mr. Liang, we bought some fruit. They said it's fresh blueberries picked from the ecological park. They even gave us a shopping bag. You should try some too."

As she spoke, she took out a box of blueberries and handed it to Liang Yuan and Zhang Peng.

Zhang Peng kept his head down, not daring to look at her.

Seeing this scene, Liang Yuan sighed inwardly.

I reached out and took the blueberries, took a bite, and they were indeed very sweet.

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Thank you."

"You're too kind. If it weren't for you, we would still be suffering outside."

"We should be thanking you," Wenfang said with a smile.

She then handed Zhang Peng another one: "Brother Peng, you should have one too."

Zhang Peng kept his head down and didn't move.

Wenfang found it strange and bent down to look at his face from bottom to top.

When I saw this, I was immediately shocked.

"Brother Peng, you, you..."

She hurriedly reached out to cup Zhang Peng's face, only to see that his eyes were filled with tears and pain.

"Brother Peng? Why are you crying?"

Wenfang immediately became anxious and hurriedly asked him with concern.

Zhang Peng's lips trembled, but he didn't know what to say.

He and Wenfang had already reached the point of discussing marriage. If he were to abandon everything to search for Wenlili, what would Wenfang do?
For a moment, he was in a state of utter confusion and had no idea what to do.

At this moment, Wen Xiao also rushed over. After glancing at the situation, she thought Liang Yuan had said something harsh to Zhang Peng.

He quickly asked, "Mr. Liang, what happened?"

Liang Yuan shook his head slightly and said, "Sigh, Zhang Peng, you think about how to solve this."

With that, Liang Yuan turned and left.

There's nothing he can do about this.

He hadn't gone far when he heard Wenfang crying and Wenxiao scolding him.

It seems Zhang Peng has confessed what happened and is planning to go find Wen Lili.

This action undoubtedly hurt Wenfang's feelings, and Wenxiao, as her brother, was naturally furious.

Liang Yuan knew that outsiders couldn't interfere in this matter; they had to resolve it themselves.

He couldn't help but think of his relationship with Lin Ya again, and gave a wry smile.

“I am not Zhang Peng, Lin Ya is not Wen Fang, and Sister Mei is not Wen Lili.”

"We are different."

Liang Yuan muttered something to himself in a low voice.

By evening, or in the afternoon, the floating island of the Misty City had also arrived.

Just like the floating islands at the mouth of the dark abyss, the floating islands cannot get close to the floating islands in the Mirage Serpent Space due to the repulsion of gravity.

So it stopped seven kilometers away from the Mirage Serpent Space, adjacent to the floating island at the mouth of the Dark Abyss.

Subsequently, within the floating island of the Misty City, Ling Yurong, Jin Peng, and Di Quanke, along with the Ice Armor Legion and related mercenary leaders, rushed to Xiaomaoshan to meet Liang Yuan.

"Your subordinate greets your master!" "Greetings, master."

Ling Yurong, Di Quanke, and Jin Peng still maintain the attire of ancient people, and even their manner of bowing is completely out of step with modern people.

Under the influence of the three of them, the entire Misty City became somewhat class-based. The mercenary group leader and the left and right leaders of the Ice Armor Legion also stepped forward, knelt on one knee, and greeted Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan said in a deep voice, "Get up, all of you."

The group quickly stood up, and Liang Yuan asked, "Has anything major happened in the City of Mist recently?"

Ling Yurong said, "No, recently, as you instructed, the City of Mist has been vigorously cultivating ice-attribute mutant beasts and planting vegetables that grow in winter."

The City of Mist is an ice-type island, which is actually not suitable for survival.

However, compared to the barren environment of the Dark Abyss, it is still possible to plant some cold-resistant plants.

In addition, the unique ice-attribute environment allows the City of Mist to raise some ice-attribute mutant beasts.

For those with superpowers, ice-attribute genes can be condensed not only using ice-attribute blood crystals, but also by condensing and refining the essence and blood of ice-attribute mutated beasts.

Ice-attribute blood crystals have high energy purity, but they are expensive.

After all, these blood crystals are the essence from the heart of the ice-attribute floating island, and the amount is fixed; every bit used is a bit less.

The essence blood of ice-attribute mutant beasts is different. As long as a large number of ice-attribute mutant beasts are cultivated, there will be a continuous supply of essence blood.

Liang Yuan and his team would naturally not miss such an opportunity for sustainable development.

In fact, it's not just ice-attribute mutant beasts; other islands have also cultivated mutant beasts of various other attributes.

These mutated beasts can not only provide essence and blood for gene extraction, but their flesh and blood are also edible, solving the problem of protein and fat sources for the shelter residents.

In short, Yangshan Refuge has been actively trying to raise livestock and cultivate crops.

After all, these are the issues that are crucial to the survival of the shelter residents.

Liang Yuan chatted with the group for a while, then let them go off on their own.

Ling Yurong and the others left the chief's mansion and then strolled around Xiaomaoshan.

Looking at Xiaomaoshan, which resembled a bustling small city, Jin Peng couldn't help but exclaim, "It's only been two short years since the apocalypse, and Mr. Liang and his team have actually rebuilt a civilized and orderly social ecosystem. They're truly amazing."

Di Quanke, standing to the side, couldn't help but nod: "Back in our time, after the apocalypse, humanity struggled for decades before a relatively stable, scattered, and clustered ecosystem emerged."

"Times have changed. The new generation is pushing the old one aside."

Both of them were sighing with emotion.

Ling Yurong remained calm and said, "These things are good for ordinary people, but not necessarily for us."

"Oh? What do you mean?" Di Quanke asked, puzzled.

Ling Yurong said, "Ordinary people waste their lives and live mediocre lives. If they can have a stable living environment, they should be grateful."

"But we are destined to be different from these people; our goal is the stars."

"Mr. Liang is also destined to become a star god-level figure."

"By then, our world will be in space, not on this mere planet."

"This place will only become a shackle that binds us."

Di Quanke and Jin Peng fell silent.

After a long silence, Di Quanke sighed, "Becoming a Star God isn't that easy, Ling Yurong. You and I both came from that era, so you should know that very few people can break through to become a Star God."

Jin Peng sighed, "If I could become a Star God, wouldn't I have become one long ago? Why would I still be clinging to life like this?"

Di Quanke continued, “In the new flood era, there will be new talents and brilliant minds. Unfortunately, I’m afraid my old bones can’t keep up.”

Jin Peng said, "Mr. Liang is a genius. He might be able to take that step, but I... sigh."

He gave a bitter smile. A thousand years ago, he had failed to break through to the Star God realm and leave this planet. He had been clinging to life until now, relying on the so-called method of immortality.

How can I break through to the Star God level in this lifetime?

Ling Yurong's expression darkened slightly, and he shouted, "If you all believe deep down that you're incapable, of course you have no chance of breaking through to the Star God realm!"

"I chose to remain asleep until now, in order to wait for the initial stage of the flood, when the spiritual energy of heaven and earth will surge!"

"This period is the golden age for people with superpowers."

"Back then, which of those countless gods and Buddhas didn't rely on their abundant spiritual energy and resources from waking up early to easily cross the Star God realm and ascend to the heavens in one step?"

“They can do it. Those of us born in the degenerate age can return to the peak of psychic power and perhaps even live a second life!”

"Just wait, I will find my next fragment of consciousness, break through genetic recombination as soon as possible, and step into the Star God realm!"

With a flick of her sleeve, she soared into the air and flew directly towards the City of Misty Clouds, no longer lingering in the colorful world of Little Maoshan.

To her, the discouraging words of these old men would only affect her Dao heart!
She couldn't be bothered with those old folks, wallowing in melancholy.

In that time, she would have already found the next person who had awakened her spiritual consciousness.

Di Quanke and Jin Peng exchanged a glance and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Jin Peng said in a deep voice, "Our Ice Goddess is proud and arrogant."

Di Quanke said, "She was only one step away from entering the realm of Star God in the Dharma-ending Age, so naturally she was unwilling to give up."

Jin Peng shook his head: "It's not that simple. Now that we have survived to this day thanks to the method of immortality, if we want to start over, we must first gather back the scattered spiritual thoughts we sent out."

"Only in this way can we quickly recover our peak strength."

"Let's not even talk about whether anyone can awaken our spiritual consciousness. Even if someone is lucky enough to awaken our genetic consciousness, who knows if they won't be able to resist?"

"Besides, it's just one or two fragments of thought, which can't bring us back to our peak condition."

Di Quanke said, "Alas, the method of immortality is both our strength and our weakness."

Jin Peng couldn't help but sigh, feeling a sense of helplessness.
