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

Chapter 88 Mutated Middle-Aged Woman
"what--"

The shot hit the middle-aged woman's shoulder.

The middle-aged woman screamed instantly, and the fear on her face disappeared instantly, replaced by shock and anger.

She fell on the bed, covering the muzzle of the gun and wailing in pain.

Ding Yan was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned to look at Liang Yuan.

"Girl, girl, save me, didn't you say you are not bad people?"

The middle-aged woman started crying and looked to Ding Yan for help.

But Ding Yan didn't even think about it, and stepped back immediately, quickly distancing herself from the middle-aged woman.

At the same time, he raised the dagger in his hand and shouted: "Don't move!"

She looked calm, stared at the woman, and asked quickly, "Liang Yuan, what's going on?"

She did not question Liang Yuan, but chose to believe Liang Yuan at the first moment.

And quickly distanced himself from this seemingly ordinary middle-aged woman.

Liang Yuan was relieved and said in a deep voice: "There is something wrong with her!"

Liang Yuan's words startled the woman on the bed and Ding Yan.

Ding Yan asked hurriedly: "What's the problem?"

The woman on the bed also begged for mercy: "I was kidnapped, I am really a victim, please don't kill me, don't hurt me, wuuuu..."

She even started crying, her face full of fear, and it didn't look like she was pretending at all.

Liang Yuan said in a deep voice: "If she was kidnapped, this room would definitely not be so clean and tidy."

"How many beasts' rooms have I been to with you? Have you ever seen such a clean victim?"

"Also, there's a tuft of dog hair on her leg. She and the dog must know each other. Judging from the dog's mutation, if it doesn't eat her, she must have a serious problem."

Liang Yuan's few words immediately made Ding Yan alert.

She stared at the woman on the bed and noticed the dog hair on her legs.

Although Liang Yuan's words made some sense, they were actually a bit forced.

His most important evidence, of course, is that the system did not give him any points feedback!
In this room, there are only me, Ding Yan and the middle-aged woman in front of me.

There is no one else here, there must be something wrong with this woman!

With Liang Yuan's cautious personality, of course he would shoot!
Ding Yan took a deep breath, stared at the woman, and scolded: "Who are you?"

The middle-aged woman on the bed cried, "I am the owner of this room. My name is Xu Lihua. Believe me, I was really kidnapped."

"The one who kidnapped me was the woman outside. I took her in because I felt sorry for her."

"I didn't expect she was a venomous scorpion in human skin. She tied me up and made me do laundry and cooking for her, and even asked me to help her raise the dog."

"This dog hair was accidentally rubbed against me by my dog. Please believe me."

The middle-aged woman cried and explained everything.

It all sounds like it's going perfectly smoothly and without any flaws.

Ding Yan was also a little confused, and she couldn't help but think of Fan Meiqin.

At that time, she was too kind-hearted and believed Fan Meiqin, so she opened the door and took her in.

But he didn't expect to let a wolf into the house, which ended up hurting himself.

This woman's experience is so similar to my own.

She couldn't help but look at Liang Yuan for a moment and asked, "Liang Yuan, do you... do you have any other doubts?"

Liang Yuan didn't believe a word of it.

The system didn’t give any points at all!
The dead man and dog outside are not mutant creatures!

Facing Ding Yan's gaze, he looked at the middle-aged woman Xu Lihua and said in a deep voice: "I have a way to verify whether you are lying."

Xu Lihua was stunned for a moment, looked up at Liang Yuan, and subconsciously asked: "What method?"

Liang Yuan aimed the pistol in his hand at Xu Lihua's head and said, "I'll know after I kill you."

"boom--!"

The moment the gunshot rang out, Xu Lihua's face changed drastically.

She suddenly bent down and the bullet almost grazed her scalp.

The next moment, Xu Lihua changed from her pitiful look to a ferocious one, and she jumped up from the bed screaming.

He pounced on Liang Yuan: "Ah——"

She screamed like a mad dog.

Liang Yuan was already prepared, and swung the steel crowbar in his hand fiercely.

Bang!
Xu Lihua was in mid-air and had no way to dodge, and one of her hands was broken in an instant by the stick.

With a crack, the whole person was hit by Liang Yuan's stick and flew out at an angle.

He bumped his head against the wardrobe beside him, and his head was bleeding.

This sudden change really surprised Ding Yan.

By the time she reacted, Xu Lihua had already been beaten away by Liang Yuan.

If she couldn't see that there was something wrong with Xu Lihua at this moment, then she would be a complete fool.

He shouted angrily: "You lied to me?"

She took a step forward and kicked Xu Lihua in the leg bone!

Click!

Xu Lihua screamed in pain and her leg bone was broken.

Ding Yan raised the dagger, with a vicious look on his face, and was about to kill the woman.

Liang Yuan immediately shouted: "Wait!"

Ding Yan raised her head and looked at Liang Yuan in confusion.

Liang Yuan walked over and pulled Xu Lihua's head out of the closet.

With the gun against her head, he said to Ding Yan, "Don't you realize that her mental state is normal?"

"What?" Ding Yan was stunned.

Liang Yuan said in a deep voice: "She has awakened her mutant ability, but she didn't go crazy."

Ding Yan suddenly woke up and immediately looked at Xu Lihua, wondering, "How did she do that?"

Liang Yuan said: "Tell me, what's going on, what happened to you!"

Xu Lihua's face was pale, she covered her legs, with fear and resentment on her face.

She glared at Liang Yuan and Ding Yan, gritting her teeth and said, "Will you let me go after I tell you?"

Liang Yuan nodded: "I'll let you go if you tell me."

"Really?"

Liang Yuan hummed: "I never lie."

Xu Lihua still didn't believe it. Liang Yuan's promise was too easy.

Liang Yuan said: "You should have noticed that both of us have awakened our mutant abilities. You are no threat to us."

"The world is changing. Only those who have awakened their mutant abilities can truly adapt to this world. We are the same kind of people, aren't we?"

Hearing this, Xu Lihua's eyes suddenly lit up and she began to believe Liang Yuan a little.

Ding Yan frowned and looked at Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan still had a smile on his face and said, "Tell me, how did you get your mutant ability? What's going on with that woman and the dog outside?"

Xu Lihua hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "You are right, we are the masters of this world in the future."

"Ordinary people should have been eliminated long ago." Liang Yuan responded with a smile.

This made Xu Lihua's doubts gradually disappear, and she said, "Put the gun away."

Liang Yuan smiled and shook his head: "No, I don't know your ability yet, what if it's dangerous?"

Xu Lihua thought for a moment and said, "You are very smart and cautious, and you are someone who can accomplish great things. Okay, I'll tell you."

"I ate a cactus fruit, and then suddenly I gained a strange ability."

"I discovered that I can live inside other creatures."

"That dog and that woman, I was the one who parasitized them just now."

When these words were spoken, Liang Yuan and Ding Yan were both shocked.

What kind of weird ability is this?

"Parasite ability!"

Liang Yuan suddenly paid attention to the cactus fruit she mentioned, and his heart suddenly moved.

If animals mutate, plants will naturally mutate as well.

When humans eat mutated fish, the progress of genetic mutation in their bodies continues to increase. Once it reaches a certain level, they will be subjected to strong mental stimulation and their mutated abilities will be awakened.

What about eating the fruits of mutated plants?

Liang Yuan immediately thought of the prize that appeared in the 100-point disk.

That mutant strawberry!

When he saw the mutated strawberries, he immediately realized that plants could also mutate.

It also seems that the quality, purity and grading of the mutant strawberries are unknown.

The middle-aged woman in front of me ate a cactus fruit and awakened her mutant abilities.

But what concerned Liang Yuan was that this woman's mental state was very normal!

Liang Yuan took a deep breath and immediately asked, "When you ate the mutated cactus fruit and awakened this mutant ability, did you feel any discomfort?"

Ding Yan also stared at Xu Lihua with a probing look in her eyes.

Xu Lihua frowned: "What discomfort? I didn't feel anything, I just felt a strange power suddenly appeared in my body. With the support of this power, my consciousness can leave my body and parasitize in other organisms."

"Isn't that the case with you guys?"

She asked doubtfully.

Liang Yuan's eyes moved slightly, and he didn't answer her, but asked again: "What were you doing when you awakened this ability?" "I was just so hungry that I desperately looked for food."

"My son was also starving and wanted to bite me, so I locked him in the room."

"Later, I was so hungry that I remembered there was a pot of cactus on the balcony, so I decided to eat the cactus."

"I didn't expect the cactus to bear fruit, so I ate it, and then I had this power."

"Didn't you eat this fruit?"

Xu Lihua looked at the two of them suspiciously.

Ding Yan and Liang Yuan looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

This woman's awakening process was so easy!

He had not experienced any crisis of insanity, nor had he been exposed to any external life or death stimuli.

The other party just ate the fruit of a mutant plant and awakened his mutant ability!
Ding Yan couldn't help but recall the moment when she woke up. The terrible mental torture really scared her.

A thoughtful look flashed across Liang Yuan's eyes.

"Could it be that taking mutant plants and mutant animals has different effects on people?"

He asked, "Where's the cactus?"

"have eaten."

Xu Lihua said: "I was so hungry at the time that I was not hungry after eating the fruit, so I ate the whole cactus."

Liang Yuan secretly thought it was a pity, then he looked at the many corpses outside and asked, "What are those body parts? And who is that woman?"

Xu Lihua grinned, with a strange look on her face, and said, "Hehe, they are just ordinary people, what is there to say?"

"I captured that woman to study my parasitic ability, and I captured the others to serve as food for my son."

"We are no longer the same as these people. They will become extinct sooner or later."

"It's better to give it to my son than to be eaten by the fish, isn't it?"

Ding Yan's eyelids twitched, the dagger in her hand was tightly clenched, and her breathing became heavier.

Liang Yuan glanced at Ding Yan and knew that Ding Yan could no longer tolerate this middle-aged perverted woman.

This woman actually used this ability to parasitize a normal person.

Then it will parasitize on her dog, and the living person will be fed to the dog.

It's so inhumane.

"I've said everything I need to say. I'm sincere, right? Can you put the gun away?" Xu Lihua said coldly.

Liang Yuan nodded: "Well, I don't have anything else to ask."

The next moment, gunshots suddenly rang out!

boom!
Xu Lihua's head suddenly opened up and her brain splattered out.

Her face was full of surprise and confusion, and her body collapsed.

"Ding, you killed a mutant creature and earned 59 points."

Liang Yuan took back the Glock and received a system notification in his mind.

"59 points!"

Liang Yuan's heart skipped a beat. This was the largest single amount of points he had ever received!

In other words, the degree of mutation and evolution of the woman in front of him was the highest he had ever encountered!
Liang Yuan sneered, looking at the corpse and said: "I will never be the same kind of person as a scum like you."

He turned and looked at Ding Yan: "Gather the supplies and prepare to go to the next one."

Ding Yan glanced at the body, then at Liang Yuan, and asked, "Did you really infer that there was something wrong with her based on just those few details?"

Liang Yuan walked out of the bedroom and looked around the balcony. Hearing this, he said, "Isn't it obvious? She is a kidnapped person, but not only is she not injured at all, but she is also dressed neatly and exquisitely, as if she is the owner of this place."

"That dog obviously has the speed of a mutant creature, but it didn't attack her. Isn't that suspicious?"

"So far, I haven't seen anyone who can control mutant creatures."

Liang Yuan explained a few words casually, then suddenly his eyes fixed, he squatted down and looked at a pot of succulents in the corner of the balcony.

The succulent has died. There is a flowerpot next to the succulent, but the plant inside has been dug out.

"Is this the cactus that gave birth to the mutant fruit?"

Liang Yuan poured out the soil from the flowerpot and rummaged through it.

Just as the woman said, she ate everything without leaving any.

Liang Yuan looked at the succulent plants that were about to wither, thought about it, and then put the succulent flowerpot away.

"I don't know if this succulent can be salvaged. If it can be salvaged, I don't know if it will produce mutant fruits."

Seeing him putting away the succulent plant, Ding Yan couldn't help but ask, "Are you going to cultivate it?"

Liang Yuan nodded: "Well, maybe we can cultivate mutant fruits, but it's difficult. It's been raining heavily and there's no sun. I don't know if these plants can survive without the sun."

Ding Yan looked at the heavy rain outside and the surging flood waves, and couldn't help but sigh.

"There's such a big flood outside. The whole earth is submerged. How many plants can survive?"

Her words reminded Liang Yuan, causing his expression to change slightly.

Under the flood, humans had no place to stand, but plants also needed soil for support.

I'm afraid that there will be fewer and fewer plants in the future, and the plants we have now will become more and more precious.

He immediately said, "In the future, whenever I encounter plants, no matter what species they are, I will try to collect them."

"If floods continue in the future, I'm afraid there will be fewer and fewer plants."

Ding Yan was slightly stunned, then nodded and said, "Okay."

The two of them collected supplies, and Song Wen and Liu Feifei outside also bravely came in to help.

However, as soon as he came in, he was frightened to the point of vomiting by the dozen or so corpses in the house that had been eaten clean of their flesh and blood.

Wen Lili and Zhang Peng, who followed in, didn't understand what was going on at first. When they came in and wanted to help, they suddenly started vomiting.

After finally getting used to it, Zhang Peng asked in horror, "Why has Xu Lihua's family become like this?"

Wen Lili also trembled and said, "What...what on earth happened?"

Liang Yuan glanced at the two of them and asked, "Do you know this Xu Lihua?"

Wen Lili nodded: "Yes... yes, she is our neighbor. She is a mean person and has been living with her daughter. By the way, where is her daughter?"

Liang Yuan raised his eyebrows: "Her daughter has always lived here? She was still here after the flood?"

Zhang Peng nodded quickly: "Yes, I've seen it before."

Liang Yuan was startled and immediately turned his head to look around.

Apart from them, there were only corpses in the room.

But at this moment, Liang Yuan always had a creepy feeling.

He always felt that something was watching him.

"Has her daughter been hiding here?"

Liang Yuan was surprised and looked at Ding Yan.

Ding Yan immediately understood what Liang Yuan was worried about, and her scalp tingled.

"We didn't see her daughter. Could her daughter be hiding in the house?"

Liang Yuan pointed at the woman on the sofa and asked, "Do you know this woman?"

Wen Lili and Zhang Peng both stretched their necks and looked at the woman on the sofa, their expressions changed slightly.

"It's the girl downstairs from us!" Zhang Peng exclaimed immediately.

Wen Lili quickly said, "It's Li Han. She's our neighbor upstairs from us. This girl is very easy to talk to. She even lent us food when the flood first started."

"But she disappeared a month ago. I didn't expect... I didn't expect her to be at Xu Lihua's house!"

Zhang Peng couldn't help but ask, "Did Xu Lihua harm her? She had a good relationship with Xu Lihua and they had never had any quarrels."

Liang Yuan didn't ask any more questions. From Xu Lihua's tone just now, she had already determined that she was different from ordinary people.

What about former neighbors?

In Xu Lihua's eyes, nothing is as important as her beloved son.

At this time, Ding Yan explained to everyone what had just happened.

Several people couldn't help but show horror.

Especially when I heard that Xu Lihua had awakened a mutant ability and could actually parasitize other people.

Use Li Han to lure innocent people outside into the house, and then kill them and feed them to the dogs.

Such an appalling and horrific thing actually happened right downstairs from them.

Just thinking about it made their scalps tingle.

What's going on with this world!
How can it be so scary!

Song Wen and Liu Feifei were so frightened by what Ding Yan said that their faces turned pale.

Song Wen was even more secretly scared. Fortunately, she came here with Liang Yuan and the others.

I naively wanted to exchange supplies with my neighbors and earn the difference.

In this situation, I am lucky enough not to die.

Liu Feifei and Song Wen naturally felt the same.

For the first time, she felt that her father and Uncle Hu were very lucky.

If I had gone to buy something for Xu Lihua just now, wouldn't it be like throwing meat buns at a dog, and there would be no return?
Liang Yuan said in a deep voice: "I wonder how many mutant humans like Xu Lihua there are in Unit 2."

"It's unknown how many of these people still have any humanity left, so if you want to go out, it's best not to do it alone."

"If you find anything suspicious, you can come to unit 1, floor 32 to find us."

"Next we will start sweeping the building, checking for hidden dangers one by one to ensure the safety of the upper floors."

"In addition, we will not take the rooms that have been cleared, but we will take away the usable items inside."

Liang Yuan said a few words, then called Ding Yan and said, "Let's go to the next one."
