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

Chapter 108: Dinner and Planning

"Brother Liang, is Liu Feifei okay?"

Zhao Kai stood at the entrance of the corridor on the 32nd floor and was about to lock the door.

When he saw Liang Yuan, he immediately asked about the situation.

Liang Yuan shook his head: "It's okay now. Not only is it okay now, she has also awakened her mutant ability."

"what!"

Zhao Kai couldn't help but be surprised. Thinking back to that outgoing little girl, he couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

"She's awakened too?"

Liang Yuan nodded: "Close the door first and talk at home."

"it is good."

Zhao Kai quickly locked the door and followed Liang Yuan to Room 3201.

At Liang Yuan's house, all 3202 people were at his house.

Because Liang Yuan hired Sister Wu to process the fish and Aunt Li to take care of the flower house, he said he would provide them with meals.

Since a lot of things happened today, I just invited everyone to come over for dinner.

Both families were in room 3201. Aunt Li, Wu Qian and Yang Mei were busy preparing dinner in the kitchen.

Little Cai Yao also helped in the kitchen.

In the house, except Ding Yan, all the other women were in the kitchen.

As for Ding Yan, she was in Liang Yuan's study, doing something and hearing the hum of a sander inside.

Lao Ma and Cai Zhi were talking in the living room, apparently discussing the making of a raft.

Liang Yuan and Zhao Kai came in and immediately attracted the attention of the two.

"Hey, Zhao Kai, what's wrong with your hair?"

"You dyed your hair?"

The two of them couldn't help laughing as they spoke one by one.

Obviously, Zhao Kai's non-mainstream ice-blue hair is indeed eye-catching.

Zhao Kai touched his hair awkwardly and said, "This was an accident."

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Don't laugh, Zhao Kai has awakened his mutant ability, and his hair is caused by his mutant ability."

"what!"

"Ah? Awakening mutant abilities?"

Liang Yuan's words startled Cai Zhi and Lao Ma so much that they stood up suddenly.

The two opened their mouths wide and couldn't help but ask.

"What's going on? Zhao Kai, how did you awaken your mutant ability? Are you not hurt?" Cai Zhi couldn't help but ask.

Old Ma also hurriedly said: "Isn't it said that awakening mutant abilities is risky? Does it require external stimulation? Zhao Kai, what stimulated you?"

Zhao Kai waved his hands repeatedly: "No, I was not stimulated, it was Brother Liang, Brother Liang helped me..."

He looked at Liang Yuan, and Lao Ma and Cai Zhi couldn't help but look over as well.

The exclamations here also attracted the attention of the women in the kitchen. Even Ding Yan, who was studying weapons in the study, couldn't help but come out to check the situation.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Liang Yuan smiled and said, "I'm lucky to have found a mutant fruit."

He explained: "Zhao Kai and I killed Liu Erlong together before, and his hand was broken by Liu Erlong."

"In this situation, there is definitely no way to find a doctor. The only hope is to awaken his mutant ability and perhaps heal his hand."

"So I decided to give this mutant fruit to him."

"I'm sorry I didn't discuss this with everyone."

Lao Ma and others suddenly realized.

Immediately everyone spoke up.

Lao Ma said, "Liang Yuan, what are you saying? There's nothing to be embarrassed about. You discovered the mutant fruit, so you can give it to whoever you want."

Cai Zhi also nodded: "Yes, what Lao Ma said is right, why are you apologizing to us? Besides, Zhao Kai's hand was broken because of killing Liu Erlong. This mutant fruit can heal his arm, so he should eat it first."

Others also nodded and congratulated Zhao Kai.

Zhao Kai couldn't help but feel a warm current surge in his heart.

I just think this big family is really great.

It was the first time he had felt such an emotion since the Flood.

Before joining Liang Yuan's team, he needs to be wary of everyone.

Because anyone can kill someone just for a little food.

At that time, he felt it was the darkest time.

It’s not like now. After Brother Liang took control of the building, the owners in the building also dared to go out.

No one dared to rob or kill people anymore, and everyone dared to go downstairs to fish.

Perhaps these people did not realize that all this was caused by Brother Liang.

But Zhao Kai knew that all this peace and order were achieved by Liang Yuan and everyone fighting together.

He was very happy to be a part of it.

What a pity! It would be great if Xiaoman were still alive.

Zhao Kai's smile gradually faded, and there was a hint of loneliness in his eyes.

At this time, Ding Yan couldn't help but ask: "Zhao Kai, what ability have you awakened?"

Cai Zhi and Lao Ma also became interested and started asking questions.

"Yes, Zhao Kai, does your ability have anything to do with your hair?"

"It can't be the hair monster in the movies, right?"

"What hair monster?"

"She's the kind of witch whose hair can grow long at will and entangle others."

A group of people suddenly burst into laughter.

Zhao Kai couldn't help but laugh and cry, and said: "No, no, my ability is frost."

As he spoke, he demonstrated his abilities to everyone on the spot.

But he reached out and grabbed the Lao Ma teacup on the coffee table. As the ice mist surged out, the teacup was frozen into an ice cube in an instant!

This skill immediately caused everyone to exclaim in surprise.

"Oh, this is a great ability. It would be so convenient to have a cold drink on such a hot day."

"Hey, Xiao Zhao, if you use this ability well, won't we all need refrigerators?"

"Yes, Xiao Zhao, you can make ice cubes and sell them to the owners outside. They can freeze and preserve the food or fish they have exchanged for."

"Oh, Yangmei, this is a great idea. Xiao Zhao, you are going to be rich."

Liang Yuan was stunned as he listened.

It turns out that the wisdom of the people is infinite.

He had never thought that Zhao Kai's frost ability had such economic value.

Zhao Kai couldn't help but smile at what everyone said, and was obviously excited.

Among the crowd, Ding Yan is probably one of the few who cares about the combat effectiveness of this ability.

"Zhao Kai, how powerful is your ability? Can it freeze a person if you hit him?"

Zhao Kai quickly said, "Sister Ding, I have never tried freezing someone."

"But I have tried to condense frost on my hands. Whether I punch or strike, it can increase my defense."

"In addition, the ice that is formed can also be used as a weapon or a hidden weapon. It can be used as a dagger to stab, or it can be thrown out to shoot."

This was a new way of fighting that he had thought of upstairs.

It is different from what Liang Yuan taught him.

Liang Yuan couldn't help but laugh. It seemed that Zhao Kai had a talent for fighting.

In such a short period of time, he actually figured out some other applications of the frost power.

Ding Yan immediately said: "Come, I will practice with you."

Zhao Kai was stunned: "Ah? Sister Ding, this..."

Ding Yan frowned: "Why are you being so fussy? Do you think I can't beat you?"

"No, no."

Zhao Kai felt helpless and quickly looked towards Liang Yuan, sending out a distress signal.

Liang Yuan immediately smiled and said, "Ding Yan, it will be time for dinner soon. If you want to fight, go to the rooftop tomorrow."

"Don't underestimate Zhao Kai. Although he has just awakened this ability, the frost ability can be used in many ways in a water environment and is very powerful."

Ding Yan snorted, "It better be really powerful, otherwise your mutant fruit will be wasted."

Liang Yuan laughed, patted the embarrassed Zhao Kai, and said, "You know her. She has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Okay, everyone, sit down and prepare to eat. Let's have some wine tonight to celebrate Zhao Kai's recovery from his injuries and awakening of his superpowers."

"Let's celebrate, we successfully took over 76 buildings with six units and eliminated Wang Ze's gang."

Everyone laughed happily, and Yangmei, Aunt Li, and Sister Wu quickly started serving the dishes to the table.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in 3201 became lively, and everyone had a smile on their face.

At the dinner table, the main topic of conversation was naturally Zhao Kai.

After chatting for a while, the topic gradually shifted to Liu Feifei downstairs.

"Liang Yuan, is Liu Feifei okay?" Aunt Li asked with concern.

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Not only is she fine now, but she also turned a disaster into a blessing and awakened her mutant ability."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked again.

Lao Ma couldn't help but asked in astonishment: "Another one awakened?"

Cai Zhi was also surprised and asked, "This little girl has also awakened? What ability does she have?"

Ding Yan and Yang Mei also looked over, their faces full of curiosity. Liang Yuan did not hide anything and said, "It should be a mental ability, similar to a mental maze. She needs to dig it out herself."

"Hiss, it's actually a spiritual type?"

Ding Yan was the first to express her feelings.

Among those present, only she and Liang Yuan knew how terrifying psychics could be.

Whether it is Xu Lihua who has parasitic abilities, or Wang Ze who has hallucinogenic abilities.

Ding Yan has suffered great losses at their hands.

And these two people are typical psychics.

So she was very clear about how dangerous psychics could be.

"She also ate the mutant fruit?" Ding Yan asked puzzledly.

Liang Yuan shook his head: "Her situation is similar to yours, she was also awakened by external stimulation."

"At that time, she was surrounded and killed by Chen Hong and his men. She must have been stimulated by the threat of death, so she awakened on her own."

"If she hadn't been found in time, I'm afraid she would have been trapped in her own mental maze forever and gradually died physically."

Ding Yan's expression changed slightly, and then she understood what Liu Feifei had experienced.

Others couldn't help but sigh. The path of awakening due to external stimulation is really dangerous.

Zhao Kai couldn't help but realize once again the preciousness of the mutant fruit.

"So, doesn't that mean there are already four awakened people in our building?"

Cai Zhi counted with his fingers and couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.

Liang Yuan laughed: "It's not four, it's five."

"Five?"

"besides?"

"Who else?"

Everyone was surprised and started asking questions.

Liang Yuan said: "Song Wen has also awakened."

"What? Song Wen?" Yang Mei was surprised.

Aunt Li was also surprised: "Xiao Song? Has she awakened? I saw her today."

"How did she awaken?" Ding Yan couldn't help but ask.

Liang Yuan said: "I was just about to tell you about this. Song Wen's way of awakening is different from that of others."

"She awakened by eating a pearl from a shell."

"And this way of awakening also has no risks."

"At least Song Wen was not in any danger. She awakened her mutant ability on the spot."

Liang Yuan's words shocked everyone again.

"Pearls in shells? Can they also help people avoid the crisis of awakening?"

"What kind of pearls?"

"Yeah, what does it look like?"

Everyone started asking questions immediately.

This is a precious resource, a treasure that can help people awaken smoothly, so everyone is naturally concerned about it.

Liang Yuan said: "According to Song Wen's description, it is a green pearl, shaped like a shell, a bit like a clam, but it is very large, like a shield."

Yang Mei suddenly said, "Little brother, you seem to have collected shells before. I remember there were pearls in them, right?"

Liang Yuan nodded: "Indeed, I have received shells several times before, but there was only one with pearls."

"But the shell is small, and the color of the pearl doesn't match. I'm not sure if this thing has the same effect as the pearl that Song Wen ate."

As he spoke, Liang Yuan turned his wrist and took out a white pearl.

He was collecting fish a while ago and someone brought him some shells.

However, among the shells that were opened, only one had a pearl, and it was white.

Everyone looked at this pearl with envy.

"I wonder what will happen if I eat this pearl." Cai Zhi couldn't help but say.

Lao Ma also said: "Maybe it will also awaken its mutant abilities."

Among those present, only these two men had not awakened.

Deep down, they certainly hope to have superpowers.

They are very eager not only from the perspective of improving their own strength, but also from the perspective of their status in the team.

Liang Yuan said: "I'm not sure, but I don't recommend any of you to take it."

"At present, we can confirm that the only thing that can help us awaken without risk is the mutant fruit."

"But Pearl, there is only one case, Song Wen, and it is not universal."

Lao Ma and Cai Zhi fell silent immediately.

Of course they understand this principle.

Who wouldn’t be tempted by the opportunity to awaken superpowers?

But both of them are adults and their thoughts are very mature.

They looked at each other's families and finally smiled with relief.

"Liang Yuan, you are right. There are certain risks here. At present, there are several people with special abilities like you in the team, and we don't urgently need new people with special abilities." Lao Ma said with a smile.

Cai Zhi also said: "Liang Yuan, I think we should keep this pearl. If one of us is seriously injured one day and there is really no other way, maybe we can take it out and take it as the last straw."

His words immediately made the others nod their heads, thinking that they made sense.

At present, everyone can make a living, so there is no need to take unknown risks and eat the pearl.

Liang Yuan also laughed and said, "Well, I'll keep this pearl with me for now."

Ding Yan suddenly asked, "You said, can a person only awaken one mutant ability?"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was stunned.

No one has thought about this question.

Even Liang Yuan himself subconsciously felt that a person should only be able to awaken one ability.

He couldn't help but think: "So far, I haven't seen anyone with a second mutant ability."

"But it's hard to say. Just because there's nothing now doesn't mean there won't be anything in the future."

"Maybe the mutation isn't deep enough."

At this point, he looked at Ding Yan and said, "As the saying goes, you can't chew too much. We can obtain an ability that is beyond the reach of others."

"Right now, we should focus on our existing abilities as much as possible and deeply explore the uses and purposes of our abilities."

He suddenly said meaningfully: "Every ability has its own particularity and can be used in different fields. Don't just compare it with other abilities."

"In the future, it will be difficult for an individual to win the battle alone. I'm afraid it will still depend on teamwork."

Ding Yan was stunned for a moment, glanced at Liang Yuan, silently lowered her head, picked up the wine glass, and took a sip.

Zhao Kai also seemed to be thinking about something, and nodded, "Brother Liang is right. My ability may seem very powerful, but if I really encounter a psychic, I'm afraid I will just be defeated."

Cai Zhi also nodded: "Liang Yuan is right. Two fists cannot beat four hands. We still need to unite and absorb as many reliable members as possible."

"By the way, what do you think of Xiao Song and Xiao Liu?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Old Ma immediately said, "I think these two kids are good. After the flood, they haven't done anything to harm the world, and at least they are not bad people."

"Secondly, they have awakened their mutant abilities. We need people like them to expand our team."

"Whether it's managing the six units in Building 76 or leaving Building 76 in the future and facing crises from the outside world, we need powerful psychics to join us."

After Old Ma finished speaking, Li Lanhua couldn't help but say, "Yes, these two kids are neighbors in the same unit. We know each other well. Isn't it more reliable than finding someone outside in the future?"

Everyone nodded in agreement, and they felt that the two girls were indeed good and could indeed be considered for recruitment.

Liang Yuan said, "Okay, since everyone has no objection, let's make it a temporary decision. But there's no rush. Aunt Li, you're an elder in the neighborhood. You still need to check on this kind of ideological work. Try to have more contact with the two families and get closer to them."

Aunt Li immediately patted her chest and said with a smile: "Xiao Liang, don't worry about this. What do I do? Ask around at the street office. Who doesn't know that Aunt Li is famous for her warm-heartedness?"

"Besides, what is our identity?"

“That’s a party member!”

"Leave all the ideological work to me."

Everyone burst into laughter again.

"Don't just talk, come and eat some food." Yang Mei also smiled and invited everyone to eat.

She was really happy. During the flood, she was worried that someone would break into her home one day, and that Li Zhiqiang would sell her to Liu Erlong.

During that time, she could never have imagined that there would be such a warm scene as today.

All of this was brought to her by my younger brother.

It was he who gave himself a warm harbor.

For a moment, her eyes looking towards Liang Yuan were full of tenderness and affection.

Liang Yuan met her eyes and they couldn't help but smile at each other.

Others also had their own feelings, and they felt that this doomsday flood didn't seem so scary after all.

Humans are social creatures after all.

I feel anxious when I am alone, but when I am with friends, I feel spiritually secure.

Then all difficulties can be overcome.

Now the whole team seems to be moving in a positive direction.

This is already very good, at least everyone has hope.

In this precarious environment, they can have food and drink, and they can be open to each other without having to be on guard against each other.
