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

Chapter 91 The Taoist Priest on the Rooftop of Building 75
"Master, it seems like they can't hear us talking."

"Master, please use some magic to see if you can communicate with them."

On the rooftop of Building 75, several sturdy men surrounded an old man.

The old man was in his early sixties. Instead of being bald, he had long gray hair tied into a bun with a hairpin inserted in it.

He was wearing a bright yellow Taoist robe, which was worn during rituals, with Bagua and Tai Chi patterns on it.

Dressed like Lin Zhengying in a zombie movie.

Coincidentally, his last name is also Lin.

Lin Songyang is a latecomer, no, strictly speaking, he didn't even become a monk.

Before the flood, he was an old bachelor. In order to make a living, he asked his eldest nephew who worked in a religious affairs office for help.

His eldest nephew found him a job as a Taoist priest in a nearby Taoist temple.

Although Lin Songyang is an old hand, he is actually quite handsome. When he wears a Taoist robe, he really looks like an immortal.

After spending a few years in Xunfeng Temple, he was able to rise to the position of deputy abbot.

He works as a Taoist priest in a Taoist temple during the day and goes home to wash feet and get massages at night, without missing a thing.

In his words, he practices Taoism to cultivate his mind but not his body. He is learning the way of Living Buddha Jigong.

At that time, many people who knew his background laughed at him, saying that Jigong was a monk and you were a Taoist priest, so you must have learned something wrong.

He didn't care, those people were just jealous of him.

Is it so easy to be a Taoist priest? To be a Taoist priest nowadays, you still need to be a graduate student.

Free food and accommodation, monthly salary over ten thousand, nothing to worry about, where else can you find it?

Unexpectedly, a big flood changed everything.

Taoist Lin watched helplessly as the world deteriorated.

The boy next door started robbing, and the girl next door started selling her body.

Old Li, who used to dance square dance with me upstairs, also abandoned his wife and joined others to steal food and young girls.

He was scared and hid at home, relying on stored food and managed to survive for a month.

When his stored food was finished, he had no choice but to eat the green vines grown on the balcony.

That's really not tasty.

Thinking back on it now, my mouth is filled with bitterness.

But it was also because of that pot of green radish that he had a way out.

He has awakened his mutant abilities!

Relying on his mutant abilities, he gradually made his way around Building 75.

Then a group of people were gathered together, and they gradually occupied Unit 75 of Building 75 and stabilized the order in Unit of Building .

Now they can barely survive by catching fish every day and having some spare food.

In the past few days, people who collect water upstairs reported that there were people moving on the rooftops of the 76 buildings behind.

Taoist Lin ran up immediately. Of course, he also wanted to contact people outside and find out what was going on in this world.

Ask others if they know what's going on in the outside world.

Seeing that the other side couldn't hear what they were shouting, everyone else became anxious and urged Taoist Lin to cast a spell.

Beside Taoist Lin, a man in his early thirties wearing glasses couldn't help but ask, "Master Lin, is there any way to contact the other side? With the current situation outside, we can only get more information if we can contact the outside world."

Taoist Lin nodded mysteriously and said, "If that's the case, then I'll give it a try. All of you move aside. I'll cast a spell in a moment, so don't hurt you by mistake."

When everyone heard this, they quickly stepped back.

Everyone has seen the power of Master Lin's spells, so it is true that no one can get close to him.

Looking at the mysterious look of Taoist Lin, Yang Shenmin couldn't help but pursed his lips and took a few steps back.

Taoist Lin then formed a spell in his hands in front of everyone.

Soon, a golden light burst out from his hand.

"Hurry up and send the order, the wind is coming!"

call--!
In the void, there was a sudden strong wind, which shook and whirled.

As he pointed his sword, golden light suddenly increased and turned into several golden words in the air.

"Hello there!"

Taoist Lin's face turned red, and the golden characters remained.

The people behind him were excited and cheered.

"Master Lin is so powerful!"

"Is this the Taoist magic of the immortals? It is really shocking."

"The Taoist priest is the Taoist priest. This flood is not a disaster at all. It is clearly the revival of spiritual energy."

Several young men behind him were discussing excitedly. Yang Shenmin's mouth twitched and he quickly said, "Everyone, shout together and make some noise."

"Yes, yes, yes, hurry up and shout, let the other side look over here."

Several people immediately shouted loudly.

On the rooftop of Building 76 opposite, Liang Yuan and his colleagues who were discussing making a raft did not hear their shouting at all.

However, Cai Zhi was facing Building 75. He inadvertently glanced at his friend and suddenly his eyes widened.

"Fuck!"

Cai Zhi exclaimed, and immediately said, "Look over there."

Liang Yuan and Lao Ma immediately turned around and looked over.

Old Ma also exclaimed immediately: "This... this golden light?"

Liang Yuan's pupils also shrank: "A mutant!"

He immediately concentrated his mental power, amplified his hearing, and tried his best to listen to the call from the other side.

"Hello~ How are you guys?"

"Hello~"

There was a lot of noise from the other end, with people saying all sorts of nonsense.

Liang Yuan immediately understood that the other party wanted to contact him.

His mind raced, his eyes scanned the area, and suddenly he saw a rope.

Without saying anything, he grabbed the rope and said quickly, "It's not long enough, make it longer."

Cai Zhi immediately went to find a rope, quickly started to tie it together, and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Liang Yuan said: "Do you know the rope telephone we played with when we were kids?"

As soon as he said that, Cai Zhi understood and immediately said, "I know, what do you use for the receiver?"

Liang Yuan glanced across the rooftop and said immediately, "Use the plastic bucket over there."

"But how do we get it to the other side?" Lao Ma couldn't help but ask.

At this time, several long ropes had been tied together, estimated to be about a hundred meters long.

Liang Yuan said: "Throw it over."

Lao Ma was stunned: "Throw? That's not close."

Liang Yuan smiled and didn't explain. He quickly picked up the plastic bucket and poked a hole through it with the steel bar.

Then pass the rope through the hole and tie a dumbbell plate to the end of the rope.

He pulled hard to make sure the rope was not loose, and then shouted, "Old Ma, stand aside."

Lao Ma and Cai Zhi hurriedly stepped back, and the rope in Liang Yuan's hand began to spin.

The plastic bucket and the 2.5 kg dumbbells inside spun like a fan.

Liang Yuan accelerated suddenly, then threw it hard!
Woo——!
With a strength three times that of an ordinary person, he burst out with all his strength, causing the plastic bucket and the dumbbells to blast out with a whistling sound!
The powerful sound of breaking through the air instantly made everyone's eyes widen and their eyes were fixed on the plastic bucket.

But the plastic bucket drew a graceful arc in the sky, broke the rain curtain, and whistled towards the 75 buildings opposite.

On the rooftop of Building 75, Lin Laodao, Yang Shenmin and others didn’t understand what the other side was going to do at first.

When they saw the plastic bucket being thrown out from the other side, their eyes widened.

"What the hell, what is he doing?"

"Is this guy crazy? How can he throw such a big plastic bucket over here from a distance of over 100 meters?"

“Why are you throwing the plastic bucket over here?”

Before the few people could finish their puzzled voices, they suddenly saw a plastic bucket whimpering through the air, smashing through the rain curtain, and whistling towards them.

Yang Shenmin's face suddenly changed, and he screamed, "Fuck! Get out of the way!"

The others were frightened and quickly retreated to the left and right.

Taoist Lin's face changed drastically and he was so scared that he quickly lay down.

Boom!
With a loud roar and splashing water, the plastic bucket was instantly smashed to pieces, and the dumbbells inside hit the floor heavily, making a loud noise.

Several people looked at the dumbbell in amazement, and then looked at the cracks in the floor.

Even Taoist Lin couldn't help swallowing.

"Is this guy still a human?"

It was rare for Lin Laodao not to show off and he couldn't help but say this.

Yang Shenmin couldn't help but look at the blurry figure in the rain opposite him, and couldn't help but ask, "Why did he throw this over here?"

"A show of force?"

"The other side is threatening us?"

Some people in the crowd began to speculate.

Someone immediately asked, "Master Lin, is the person on the other side also a fellow practitioner like you?"

"Could it be that the person opposite is also a cultivator?"

"Oh, with this much strength, his Taoist skills must be quite high."

Everyone started discussing it.

Taoist Lin rolled his eyes, but his expression became more serious, and he looked at Yang Shenmin.

Yang Shenmin's eyes flickered, and he came to his side and whispered, "I'm afraid it's a power-type awakener."

Lin Laodao nodded imperceptibly and whispered, "Be careful, don't let it be another Deng Hu from Unit 6."

When Deng Hu was mentioned, Yang Shenmin's expression changed slightly and he nodded slightly.

Deng Hu, a resident of Unit 75, Building , is also a mutant who has awakened. Unlike Lin Laodao, Deng Hu's awakening is in the direction of power, with enormous strength.

Taoist Lin relied on his golden light technique to scare the other party.

One lives in unit one and the other lives in unit six, and they don't interfere with each other.

There are no major disputes at the moment, but there are constant minor frictions.

Deng Hu is different from Lin Laodao, he is another Liu Erlong.

They committed crimes, including burning and looting, in Unit 6.

Many people were so scared that they ran to Unit 1 to seek shelter from Taoist Lin.

As a result, the conflict between Deng Hu and Lin Laodao became increasingly serious.

This is also the reason why Lin Laodao is eager to seek support from outside forces.

Because family members know their own business.

His golden light technique looked gorgeous and cool, but actually...

The attack power is very weak, it's really just like a special effect.

He relies on his status to be quite intimidating.

But if we really do it, I'm afraid we'll be exposed in a minute.

Now there was actually a suspected power-type awakener in the building opposite, and he suddenly felt that something was not good.

Yang Shenmin was not in a hurry. Instead, he looked at the rope, then at the broken plastic bucket, and immediately understood.

"If the other party wants to communicate with us, don't panic, just listen to what they say."

He immediately shouted, then found a bucket, poured out the rain water in it, quickly made a hole, and put the rope through.

When the others saw this, they immediately understood what the other side meant.

Taoist Lin hurried over and asked, "Can you hear what's going on over there?"

Yang Shenmin said: "The speed of sound propagation in air is far slower than that in solids."

"Now there are interferences from wind and rain in the air, making it difficult to hear sounds a hundred meters away."

"But by using the rope to conduct the sound and the bucket as amplification, you can hear it."

Taoist Lin was amazed and said, "Where did you learn this, Xiao Yang? You are amazing."

Yang Shenmin was helpless: "This is common sense, even elementary school students know it."

Taoist Lin immediately touched his nose, shook his head and said with emotion: "I have been practicing since I was young, so I don't know these things."

Yang Shenmin rolled his eyes and thought to himself, what’s going on with you? Others may not know, but how could I not know?

Bullshit, he has been practicing Taoism since he was young, and he clearly used connections to get into the Taoist temple.

The reason why Taoist Lin became famous is that his golden light technique is indeed impressive.

But he also has another nickname among the property owners, called the living immortal.

He can use magic to save people.

However, he didn't know any Taoist magic, and he only pretended to be cool with the golden light technique. But the one who actually saved people was Yang Shenmin.

In order to survive in this chaotic world, Yang Shenmin had no choice but to follow Lin Laodao in cheating and deceiving others.

Taoist Lin used his medical skills to save people, pretending to be a Taoist master to the outside world, and used Taoist magic to treat the wounded.

After getting the benefits, Lin Laodao would also give some to Yang Shenmin, and the two of them could be considered to have a cooperative relationship.

So Yang Shenmin knew everything about Taoist Lin.

"Hello? Can you hear me?"

At this moment, a sound suddenly came from the bucket.

Everyone was delighted, and Yang Shenmin quickly replied, "I heard it, can you hear it?"

"Hear, let me introduce myself. My name is Liang Yuan, the owner of Building 76. What was that golden light just now?"

Liang Yuan went straight to the point and asked directly.

Yang Shenmin glanced at Lin Laodao, who looked at him with a gleam in his eyes and said with a smile, "Let me tell you."

"This donor, I am Lin Songyang, the owner of Building 75. You can call me Master Lin. The golden light just now was caused by me using my sect's golden light technique. I'm sorry for disturbing you all."

He spoke lightly, yet with full of style.

Everyone would be in awe upon hearing it for the first time.

It is naturally surprising that there are still people who have achieved great success in practicing Taoism these days.

Liang Yuan and the other two on the opposite side were silent for a while.

Taoist Lin was quite satisfied with the effect and smiled.

But at this moment, a doubtful voice came from the barrel.

"Isn't that golden light the effect of the mutant ability?"

Taoist Lin's face suddenly changed, and he thought to himself, this is bad.

The person opposite obviously knew about the mutant ability, how could I have forgotten about it.

His eyes turned, and he said calmly: "Mr. Liang, the great disaster has come, the spiritual energy has revived, and the mutant ability has appeared. My Taoist method has also changed from a health-preserving technique to a magical method of the immortals that can be practiced."

His words were really scary.

Liang Yuan on the opposite side couldn't help but look slightly gloomy. Is the spiritual energy reviving?

It's not like he hasn't read novels before, so of course he has heard of the term "spiritual energy revival".

But he never thought about it that way.

Now the old man's words frightened him.

Could it be that the spiritual energy has really been revived?

Mutations and awakenings are occurring all over the world. Are they just natural changes caused by the revival of spiritual energy?

In just a moment, he denied this statement.

Because his systematic naming suggested that it was a mutant creature!

These four words are enough to explain everything.

He immediately understood that the man opposite him was most likely an old charlatan.

He asked directly: "Who is the manager?"

Everyone looked at Lin Laodao.

Taoist Lin's eyes flickered, and he said, "I was recommended by everyone, so I will be responsible for everyone's safety for the time being..."

"The heavy rain continues and the flood is still rising. How much food do you have left? Is it enough?" Liang Yuan interrupted the other party and asked.

Taoist Lin was stunned and said immediately: "We don't have anything to eat either."

Just kidding, of course you are crying poor at this time.

Of course, they are really poor.

Liang Yuan said again: "We still have a lot of food here, and we can provide supplies for exchange, but I only accept live shells, conchs, crabs, lobsters and other crustaceans."

"I can pay you for carbohydrates such as rice and flour, or condiments such as salt and sugar. If you need anything, feel free to contact me. I will send someone to contact you here in the future."

His words immediately made Lin Laodao and others open their eyes wide in shock.

"What? You still have surplus food?"

"Wait, how do we trade? I have conchs at home. I just caught them yesterday."

"I have shells at home, and I also have crabs. They are all alive, but I didn't dare to eat them."

"Brother, do you have any medicine? Antipyretics. My child has a high fever that won't go away..."

Around Lin Laodao, there was a sudden buzz of voices, and many people became excited.

Food is hard currency.

They eat fish every day and they really want to vomit.

If you can eat refined grains and some carbohydrates, you will definitely feel very happy.

Yang Shenmin asked the key question: "How can we trade? There is no way to trade with a flood of more than 100 meters across."

Liang Yuan said directly: "I will find a way to build two more cableways, and then we will slide from the 32nd floor to the lower floor over there."

"Similarly, you should pack up the conch and other items and slide them over to me from the 32nd floor."

"Okay, when will the transaction take place?" Yang Shenmin asked quickly.

"Tell me what you need, and I will quote you the price and provide the corresponding supplies," said Liang Yuan.

Yang Shenmin quickly said: "Okay, let's go discuss it now."

"Okay, you guys fix the ropes, I'll go prepare the other two ropeways."

Liang Yuan didn't waste any time and directly pulled the rope all the way to the tent where Zhou Jiaqiang had lived before.

Then he told Ma Guocai: "Old Ma, you watch the rope for now, pay attention to communicating with the other side, and count what they want. I will go prepare another ropeway for the transaction."

"Okay." Ma Guocai nodded immediately.

Liang Yuan quickly went downstairs and prepared the rope.

The construction of the cableway was so simple. He just needed to tie a dumbbell to it and throw it with force, and it would hit the building opposite a hundred meters away.

As long as there is a height difference, transporting supplies will not be difficult.

Of course, if conditions permit, it would be smoother to get a pair of roller skates to prevent getting stuck.

However, professional roller skates are rare. Fortunately, Liang Yuan found some balance bikes. After the batteries were removed, the wheels were useless and could be used to make roller skates.

After simply making the slide rail and adding a manual recovery device, everything was complete.

At this time, the opponent's supplies were also counted.

Liang Yuan did not look at what the other party needed, but first looked at what seafood the other party had.

"67 conches, 12 crabs, 4 lobsters, 2 turtles..."

Liang Yuan took a glance and his eyes suddenly lit up.

There are 67 conch shells alone!
You know, each conch can basically give you about 30 points.

With so many conchs, conservatively speaking, there should be at least 2000 points, right?

As for crabs, there are about 30 points, and 12 of them also give about 360 points?

As for the turtles and lobsters, Liang Yuan hasn't killed them yet, so he doesn't know how many points they will get, but it will definitely not be less.

Liang Yuan was delighted. Looking at the items counted by Lao Ma, he conservatively estimated that he would earn another three to four thousand points this time!
