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

Chapter 126 Yang Shenmin's Ability
Yang Shenmin endured the pain in his back and asked, "Mr. Liang, go ahead."

Liang Yuan looked around at Lin Laodao and others.

Taoist Lin was very experienced and reacted immediately. He said quickly, "You guys chat, you guys chat."

He turned around, pulled up the stone sea pillar and retreated, and then scolded everyone: "What are you looking at? It's so late, don't you need to go to bed?"

"Go home quickly, your wife and children must be worried sick."

Everyone reacted and those who were not seriously injured quickly got up and left the bedroom.

Those who were seriously injured were still lying in the living room, waiting for Yang Shenmin to treat them.

Soon, only Liang Yuan, Yang Shenmin and Tang Ying, who was responsible for fixing Yang Shenmin's bones, were left in the room.

Liang Yuan got straight to the point: "Doctor Yang, I have two questions for you."

"What ability did you awaken?"

Yang Shenmin stretched out his right hand with difficulty. A layer of golden light flowed on his hand, but no one could tell what ability it had.

At first glance, it seems to be somewhat similar to Taoist Lin's Golden Light Technique, but not as dazzling as Taoist Lin's Golden Light Technique.

Liang Yuan stared at the golden light and felt that it was very sharp.

Tang Ying also looked at the scene in shock, staring blankly at the golden light.

Yang Shenmin felt the golden light and asked, "Can you give me a knife or some other metal?"

Liang Yuan thought about it, then reached out and handed the crowbar to Yang Shenmin.

Yang Shenmin held the crowbar and closed his eyes. The next moment, golden light suddenly spread out in his hand, quickly covering the entire crowbar.

In a moment, the crowbar seemed to be melted by the golden light and its shape changed drastically.

In a flash, it changed from a stick to a sharp sword.

The blade of the sword was emitting layers of cold metallic light, and it felt sharp and cold amidst the golden light.

Liang Yuan's eyes flickered, and he asked, "Your ability can change the form of metal?"

Yang Shenmin nodded slightly: "It seems that there is more than that. Changing the metal form is only one of them. After being blessed by my golden light, this sword will become even sharper."

As he spoke, he raised his arm and casually swung the sword at the wooden bedside table beside him.

puff!

It was clear that he didn't use much strength, but the sword cut off a corner of the bedside table easily, just like cutting tofu.

The whole process seemed extremely easy.

Liang Yuan immediately understood and said, "Changing the shape of metal and increasing its sharpness is a very practical ability."

"No wonder you were able to cut the frog monster's tongue so easily."

Yang Shenmin started coughing, which seemed to have touched the wound. He put down the sword, and the long sword made of steel immediately lost its golden light and dimmed, turning into an ordinary, unremarkable steel sword.

He smiled bitterly and said, "If it weren't for Mr. Liang and you guys saving me, I would have died in the monster's mouth."

Having said that, he looked up at Liang Yuan and said solemnly: "Thank you, Mr. Liang, you saved me again."

"Again?"

Liang Yuan was puzzled.

Yang Shenmin said: "If you hadn't come here, Deng Hu would have killed Lin Laodao and us sooner or later."

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Now that you have awakened this ability, even if Deng Hu comes back to life, he won't dare to attack easily."

"But who can guarantee that I can awaken before he makes a move?" Yang Shenmin sighed.

He has not awakened since the great flood.

If the frog monster hadn't tried to hurt the pillar, stimulating his emotions, he wouldn't have been so excited that he would have awakened this ability.

Otherwise, he doesn't know when he will wake up.

Liang Yuan said: "I guess even if there is no frog monster, you should be able to enter the awakening stage as long as you are stimulated by some external factors."

"Ah? How could that be?" Yang Shenmin was stunned and confused.

Liang Yuan shook his head: "Do you have the spiritual stone that Lin Laodao mentioned?"

Yang Shenmin was slightly stunned, then nodded: "Yes, in fact, this spiritual stone was first discovered by me and my subordinates, and then we told Lin Laodao."

"This thing is useless to ordinary people like us. Only people with special abilities like Lin Laodao can absorb the energy inside."

"I kept one and made it into a pendant, thinking that if I meet a superpowered person in the future, I might be able to exchange it for something else."

As he spoke, he subconsciously reached out to touch the spirit stone on his chest.

However, when he touched it, he immediately found that there was only a rope left around his neck, and the spirit stone was long gone!
He couldn't help but be stunned: "Huh? Where is my spirit stone?"

Liang Yuan said: "It seems that you also stumbled upon it by mistake."

"what?"

"When you awakened, the spirit stone was activated and directly absorbed by you."

Liang Yuan recalled the scene at that time and said: "You were on the verge of death at that time. I tried to help you relieve the force and save you, but the frog monster's tongue was very powerful. I couldn't stop it and could only relieve a small part of the force."

"You were stimulated by the threat of life and death, which triggered the mutant genes in your body and awakened your mutant abilities."

"But in that situation, if you hadn't awakened a defensive ability like the Stone Sea Pillar, you would definitely not have been able to stop the frog monster's tongue from smashing you."

"The power stone was activated by you. When you were injured, it absorbed the power stone and quickly replenished the mutant energy in your body, greatly enhancing your vitality."

"On another note, I suspect this stone may be part of the reason that induced your awakening."

Yang Shenmin was stunned, his mouth opened wide: "This... this supernatural spirit stone, can it be used in this way?"

Liang Yuan shook his head: "This is just my guess, there is no basis for it."

He stood up and said, "I have finished asking questions. You should have a good rest."

"Wait a minute, Mr. Liang!"

Yang Shenmin quickly called Liang Yuan and said, "I also have a question for you."

Liang Yuan paused, looked at him, and said, "What?"

Yang Shenmin hesitated for a moment, as if he was organizing his words, and after a few seconds, he spoke.

"Mr. Liang, I wonder what your next plan is?"

Liang Yuan looked at him and suddenly laughed: "What do you mean?"

Yang Shenmin sighed, looked at the storm outside, and said, "I am not Taoist Lin, who still has hope for national rescue."

"This kind of heavy rain and flood is unprecedented. I have only heard of it in fairy tales."

"Those mutant creatures have long been beyond our understanding."

"I knew full well that help was not coming."

"The only way out is to save ourselves."

“I don’t know how long this building can last.”

"Before this, I was still fantasizing that maybe the heavy rain would stop in a few months and the flood would not come."

"But now I don't dare to think about it. Even if the flood does not submerge the building, I am afraid that these mutant creatures in the flood will begin to invade the buildings above the water surface."

"I can't stay here any longer. I think you've figured that out, haven't you?"

Liang Yuan laughed. This Doctor Yang was indeed an educated man with ideas and insights.

Most people now still hold on to their luck, hoping to hide in buildings and wait for the heavy rain to stop.

The appearance of mutant frogs has really scared some people.

Let them understand that even inside the building, it is not that safe.

Liang Yuan thought for a moment and said, "I don't plan to stay in the building all the time."

Yang Shenmin's eyes widened immediately: "You...you have a way to leave?"

At this moment, not only Yang Shenmin, but even Tang Ying, who was bandaging him, immediately looked up and looked at Liang Yuan in shock.

When everyone is trapped and helpless, is there any way for Mr. Liang in front of him to leave the building?

Liang Yuan looked at Yang Shenmin and then at Tang Ying.

He nodded and said, "I still have some energy in Building 76. I have quite a few brothers following me at the moment. We plan to build a raft and leave here as soon as possible."

Yang Shenmin was stunned: "Build a raft?"

His eyes lit up, and he immediately thought of something, and asked quickly, "Where are you going?"

Without waiting for Liang Yuan to answer, he immediately responded: "The only relatively high places around us are Yangshan, Meishan, and Shushan. Although it is difficult to compare with the high altitude places in the southwest, those mountains are already the highest places here."

"Where are you going?"

He reacted quickly and guessed Liang Yuan and the others' destination immediately.

This is actually not difficult to guess, after all, there are only a few high places nearby.

Liang Yuan nodded slightly: "Well, we plan to go to the nearest Meishan to have a look."

"Meishan...Mr. Liang, can you...can you take us with you?" Yang Shenmin asked excitedly.

Liang Yuan glanced at him and said, "There is limited space on the raft." Yang Shenmin's face turned pale and a hint of disappointment appeared in his eyes.

However, Liang Yuan suddenly added: "Of course, if you can prepare your own raft and want to go with us, I am willing to take everyone with me."

Yang Shenmin looked up in surprise and looked at Liang Yuan: "Mr. Liang, are you telling the truth?"

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Of course, but I have to remind you that making a raft requires a lot of planks, plastics and the like."

"I saw quite a few people dismantling furniture and floors to make fires and cook."

"If you want to build a raft, you'd better do it sooner rather than later."

"Also, let me say something cruel. There are so many people in this building, and there is no way to get everyone to leave. You have to make some choices when selecting candidates."

Having said that, he said no more and turned and left the bedroom.

Only Yang Shenmin in the bedroom and Tang Ying, who was studying nursing, were left staring blankly at the meaning behind these words.

Liang Yuan left the room. He actually had his own purpose for telling Yang Shenmin the news.

"Yang Shenmin is a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, and can be considered a special talent. Moreover, he has now awakened his mutant abilities. Such a person is very popular wherever he goes. It would be better to take him away if possible."

If he wanted to go to Meishan, even if he really settled down there, he would still need manpower.

Yang Shenmin is a doctor who has awakened mutant abilities. He is definitely a rare talent. It would be even better if he could be brought over.

As for Tang Ying, this girl majored in clinical nursing and also had professional medical knowledge. If possible, Liang Yuan also wanted to take her away.

It’s not that he didn’t want to save other people, but in the midst of a flood crisis, if a person is of no use at all and will only be eaten and wasted, what’s the point?

Besides, the raft is so small, and there are only so many people on it at one time, so there is no way to take everyone on board.

Not only Yang Shenmin has to make some choices, but Liang Yuan also needs to make some choices.

He sighed, walked out of the bedroom and came to the living room.

Zhao Kai hurried over and said, "Brother Liang, is Doctor Yang okay?"

"It's okay. He has awakened his mutant ability. With the physical fitness of a mutant, he will recover quickly. Don't worry. Where is Master Lin?"

"Master Lin has taken the others back."

Liang Yuan nodded: "I'll go find him. It's almost dawn. Collect the fish and hurry back. I don't know how things are going at home. Have they been attacked by mutant creatures in the water?"

Hearing this, Zhao Kai's expression also tensed up, and he nodded repeatedly: "We have to go back and take a look."

The two of them went out quickly and found Taoist Lin.

Taoist Lin counted yesterday's catch. Due to time constraints and the attack by the frog monster, not much fish was caught last night, only a little over a hundred in total.

Liang Yuan used a mental shock on the spot, instantly killing all the more than one hundred fish.

Then he said, "Trade these fish via the track later. Also, trade the fish you owe me via the track as well. Zhao Kai and I plan to go back immediately."

Lin Laodao was startled and hurriedly said, "So soon? Don't you want to take a rest? It's not even dawn yet."

Having just experienced the frog monster attack, Lin Laodao was terrified, so of course he wanted Liang Yuan and Zhao Kai to stay.

What if another monster climbs up and attacks us?
Without these two masters, he really had no idea what to do.

Liang Yuan naturally saw through his thoughts and said, "Master Lin, the frog monster incident is probably not an isolated phenomenon."

"They are amphibious creatures. After staying in the water for a long time, they will naturally want to come to the shore."

"The land has been submerged now, and only our tall buildings are still above the water. They will definitely find a way to climb up."

"Not only frogs, but other amphibians will also have the same habit."

"You have to be more careful."

Taoist Lin suddenly looked bitter and said, "What's the point of me taking precautions, Mr. Liang? You saw those frog monsters, they were too scary. My golden light technique can scare people, but it can't scare those monsters."

"No matter what, please stay for two more days to give us some time to calm down."

Liang Yuan shook his head: "Zhao Kai and I live in Building 76, and we are needed there too."

"Master Lin, if I were you, I would arrange for someone to quickly lock the door to the corridor downstairs and try to ensure that the corridors below are not connected."

"This way, even if mutant creatures crawl up, they can be effectively controlled in a limited area."

"In addition, Shi Haizhu and Doctor Yang have awakened their mutant abilities. They are not without combat power. If you develop their abilities well, I believe you can defend all 75 buildings."

Lin Laodao was speechless: "This... this..."

Liang Yuan said no more, called Zhao Kai, and said, "Let's go back."

Zhao Kai nodded, and the two of them immediately ran to the rooftop.

Without giving Lin Laodao a chance to persuade them to stay, the two of them climbed directly onto the rope track and slid along the zipline directly to the opposite building.

Soon, the two figures disappeared into the stormy night.

Taoist Lin stood on the rooftop in the rain, watching this scene, with mixed feelings in his heart.

He couldn't help stamping his feet and said, "Alas! Why can't we produce such talents in Building 75?"

He looked at the dark water again and suddenly felt panicked.

"I hope Xiao Yang and Zhuzi can recover quickly. It's too difficult for an old Taoist priest like me to do it alone."

Taoist Lin had a bitter face and ran back quickly.

……

"squeak--"

The sound of ropes rubbing could be heard, Liang Yuan and Zhao Kai were moving very fast.

Taking advantage of the gravity acceleration caused by the height difference, the two quickly slid to a position around the 76th floor of Building .

The rope here is tied to a load-bearing column and is quite stable.

The two men crossed the balcony and jumped into the house.

The two owners who were on duty in the house were startled.

"Who?"

"Shit, there's someone!"

The two owners suddenly screamed and shouted.

One of them quickly took out a lighter and lit a torch.

The firelight illuminated the living room, illuminating the figures of Liang Yuan and Zhao Kai.

"Mr. Liang, Captain Zhao!"

The two were immediately pleasantly surprised and came forward to greet him.

Liang Yuan also recognized the two and laughed: "Wang An, Wu Ying? Why are you here?"

These two people were Wu Ying, who had taken the initiative to join Liang Yuan, and Wang An, whose child had sepsis.

Wu Ying took the initiative to offer the supplies that he had found at Chen Hong's expense, and as a token of his allegiance to Liang Yuan, he was given the position of patrol captain.

Later, he took the initiative to win over Wang An and Huang Han, who raised a golden python, and formed a patrol team.

With the support of Liang Yuan and others, these three people were able to perform the duties of the patrol team.

But Liang Yuan didn't expect that they were patrolling during the day and guarding the cable car here at night.

Wu Ying quickly said, "Mr. Liang, this is Unit 5. We are supposed to be watching it."

"You don't need to watch it in person, right? Just find two owners and give them some compensation, right?"

Wu Ying felt a little embarrassed and didn't say anything.

Wang An took the initiative to speak: "Mr. Liang, I want to do this."

"Oh why?"

Wang An smiled bitterly and said, "Didn't my daughter get sepsis because she didn't eat vegetables? Although she has taken a lot of vitamins now, she is still weak."

"As the saying goes, illness comes like a mountain falling, and goes away like a thread being pulled out. Her resistance has not recovered yet, so I thought of doing another job to earn more food so that I can feed her."

Liang Yuan was silent for a moment, then looked at Wu Ying and asked, "How much is the reward for guarding the cableway?"

"We can make two buns a night, and many people are rushing to do it." Wu Ying said with a smile.

Now in the building, fish is the unit of measurement, but things like buns are hard currency.

Who doesn’t want to eat some hot staple food buns?

Liang Yuan nodded and said, "If you have any difficulties, you can tell me. If your daughter is still lacking in vitamins, I have vitamin tablets."

"Thank you, thank you Mr. Liang." Wang An said gratefully.

Liang Yuan asked again: "While I was away, nothing happened in the building, right?"

Upon hearing this, Wang An opened his mouth but hesitated to speak.

Wu Ying's eyes flickered as well, but he said nothing.

Liang Yuan frowned and said in a deep voice: "Even you guys want to hide it from me? What happened?"

Wu Ying said quickly: "Mr. Liang, how dare we hide it from you, it's just...it's just that we don't know how to explain this matter."
