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

Chapter 300: Beating Li Qinghua's Pride
Li Qinghua is a smart man. He would never rely on the kindness of others for his life or death.

So he gave in and chose the first path Liang Yuan gave him.

Although he felt unhappy, this was his only hope to survive.

It was also the only way for him to protect his two companions.

Lin Wan and Zhou Qingming also fell silent.

Zhou Qingming, in particular, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his back.

It turned out that he had walked around the gates of hell without realizing it.

Just now he was indignant and wanted to choose the second path, but I'm afraid it's really like what Qinghua said, if he really chooses the second path, he will never be able to get out of this forest.

Lin Wan also sighed: "After all, we survived, didn't we?"

Li Qinghua also sighed: "Let's take it one step at a time. This guy is too powerful. Whether it's his strength or his methods, I can't see through him at all."

"When I was in front of him, I felt like I was always being led by him."

Li Qinghua pursed his lips. Although he felt unhappy, he had to admit that this Liang guy was really scary.

Horrible in every sense of the word!
Seeing her two companions looking dejected, Lin Wan couldn't help but comfort them, "Maybe this isn't a bad thing. Haven't we always wanted to find a safe place to stay?"

"After all, we have found a place to stay, right?"

"At least in Yangshan, we don't have to worry about floods coming at any time, nor do we have to worry about a terrifying mutant beast crawling out of the flood at any time."

Zhou Qingming said in a deep voice: "What about mutants? The more people gather, the greater the probability of mutants appearing."

"Who knows what the Yangshan Shelter looks like? Will there be mutants?"

Mutants are monsters that have failed to mutate.

This kind of monster is formed when humans awaken their mutant abilities but their will is not strong enough and they are swallowed up by countless genetic subconsciousnesses, thus becoming monsters.

Once mutants appear, they will inevitably bring about massive massacres and dangers.

Many mutants even evolve at an alarmingly fast speed. In just a few days or a dozen days, they can complete the training progress that ordinary psychics would take several months to complete.

The mutant's genes have gone out of control, just like cancer cells, they are out of control, growing and mutating wildly, and eventually becoming monsters.

Li Qinghua and his two companions followed the Flamingo and searched many high-rise buildings along the way. They discovered many similar mutants along the way.

Basically, as long as mutants appear in a building, it is impossible for other normal people to survive in the building.

That's why Zhou Qingming said this.

Li Qinghua also frowned slightly. Indeed, the population in the shelter was complicated, and this situation was likely to occur once the number of people was too large.

I don’t know whether Yangshan Shelter has any measures to deal with this situation.

Lin Wan said, "Okay, Lao Zhou, even if a mutant appears, Mr. Liang is so powerful, he will naturally take care of it. What are we afraid of?"

"Besides, there are so many people in this Yangshan Shelter. No matter how powerful the mutants are, it is impossible for them to catch us, the mutants first."

Li Qinghua said: "Sister Wan is right. No matter what, we have made our choice. Let's talk about it after we get to Yangshan. Right now, we have no other choice."

Zhou Qingming nodded dejectedly.

Lin Wan had already helped Li Qinghua clean the blood stains on his back. Seeing the wound that had already scabbed and stopped bleeding, she couldn't help but ask, "Qinghua, what was that medicine just now? After you took it, the wound on your back stopped bleeding and scabbed immediately."

Li Qinghua came to his senses after hearing this and frowned, saying, "This is definitely not an ordinary potion. It is most likely some kind of supernatural product."

Zhou Qingming heard their discussion and couldn't help asking, "Could it be that there are people with special abilities who are good at healing in this Yangshan Shelter?"

"No, a psychic who is good at healing needs to release his psychic powers himself. This is a potion, and the taste of what I drank just now is a bit like Chinese herbal medicine." Li Qinghua shook his head.

Lin Wan suddenly asked, "Could it be that there is a supernatural being in Yangshan Shelter who is good at Chinese medicine and has developed a healing potion?"

Li Qinghua said solemnly: "It is very likely!"

He then added: "If this is the case, we may have really underestimated this Yangshan Shelter."

"The other party actually has the ability to research supernatural potions. This is not something that an ordinary shelter can do. At the very least, it requires full-time work."

"Why do I have to leave my job?" Zhou Qingming asked puzzledly.

"If everyone in this shelter doesn't have enough food to eat, how could they have the energy to study these things?"

"The Yangshan Shelter must at least ensure that people have enough food to eat so that they can have the energy to engage in research and development."

Lin Wan couldn't help but ask, "But is this possible? There's a flood outside now, who can have enough food?"

"Even if there is land on the mountain, what can be planted in this heavy rain?"

Li Qinghua looked at Lin Wan and Zhou Qingming and said, "You two have been to Meishan, didn't you find anything?"

Zhou Qingming recalled and said, "There is only one Yunquan Temple in Meishan that can accommodate people. When we went there, we only saw a large group of people building houses along the Yunquan Temple."

Lin Wan said: "I asked around there. Mr. Liang has just occupied Meishan not long ago. Judging from their actions, they should be planning to build a new shelter base in Meishan."

"They built strongholds on two mountains across the flood. Do they have a lot of people? Why do they go to so much trouble?" Li Qinghua couldn't understand.

Lin Wan said: "I saw that they built a floating bridge across the flood between the two mountains, and also built some bridgehead fortresses at both ends."

"Build a floating bridge?" Li Qinghua showed a strange look and said, "How can a floating bridge be so easy to build? Besides, there are so many mutant monsters under the flood. Aren't you afraid that the floating bridge will be destroyed by the monsters as soon as it is built?"

Lin Wan shook her head slightly: "They have already built the floating bridge."

Li Qinghua was immediately shocked and said in disbelief: "It's completed? The construction of a bridge is huge, how many people are there?"

Lin Wan recalled and said, "That floating bridge looks very simple to me. It is not built with wood or something like that. Instead, it is a kind of green plant floating in the water. They use it as the bridge deck."

Li Qinghua was stunned. Green plants?

He suddenly remembered that when they ran to Lingyunpo and just got ashore, there were indeed a lot of green vegetation floating on the water.

Could it be that the people of Yangshan used that kind of stuff to build the floating bridge?

Can a person stand on that thing?

He was suspicious and in a hurry to get ashore, so he didn't pay too much attention to the things floating on the water.

He was about to ask for details when Zhou Qingming suddenly touched him with his arm.

Li Qinghua's heart suddenly trembled and he looked back.

But then Liang Yuan came back with Li Yuejin.

Li Qinghua was slightly shocked. He actually didn't notice anything at all!
Doesn’t this mean that if the other party wants to assassinate me, I will be completely powerless to resist?
"Haha, you can talk and laugh now? It seems that you have almost recovered. Let's go then."

Liang Yuan glanced at the three of them, and walked straight to the river bank without stopping.

Li Qinghua and the other two quickly stood up and followed.

Li Yuejin smiled at the three of them and said, "I don't know what to call you three yet."

Li Qinghua said in a deep voice: "I am Li Qinghua, Muzi Li, Qinghua from Tsinghua University and Peking University."

Li Yuejin smiled and gave a thumbs up, saying, "What an ambition! I have been teaching for a lifetime, and my biggest dream is to see my students go to Tsinghua University or Peking University. Unfortunately, their level is limited."

"Are you a teacher?" Li Qinghua looked at Li Yuejin in surprise.

Li Yuejin laughed and said, "Why, don't I look like one?"

Li Qinghua shook his head slightly and said, "I didn't see it."

Li Yuejin sighed and said, "Yes, after the great flood, there is no longer any identity of student or teacher. We are all just duckweed in the flood, and we don't know when we will die."

"Even so, the internal fighting among humans still continues, and there are always people who want to bully others."

Li Qinghua's expression froze and he was speechless.

The group of people led by Brother Huo are the ones who bully others in the eyes of the other party.

As a member of the Flamingo, he has to bear the stigma regardless of whether he has done anything to bully others or not.

Zhou Qingming sneered and said unhappily: "You are a teacher, haven't you heard of the law of the jungle and survival of the fittest?"

Li Yuejin glanced at him and laughed, "I teach Chinese. I only know that people know etiquette only when their granaries are full. Only when people have enough food can they know propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame."

"Your theory of the survival of the fittest is the rule of those beasts. I have never learned it."

"But I know that once someone practices this kind of philosophy, even if he is well fed and well-dressed, he will not care about propriety, righteousness, or integrity."

Zhou Qingming was furious. How could he not hear Li Yuejin's sarcasm that they were like beasts who only knew how to prey on the weak and rob others?

But he just couldn't win the argument, and for a moment he could only clench his fists in anger.

Seeing this, Li Qinghua said, "Mr. Li, the world has changed. It's not that we don't want to be human beings, but we have no choice. If we don't do it, there will be others who will do it."

"Like you said, when the granaries are full, people will know etiquette, but we are still far from having enough food and clothing and no worries about food and drink."

Li Yuejin shook his head and said, "You are willing to be with a group of beasts. They eat people, so you want to eat people too? The ancients said, a man who does not farm may suffer from hunger, and a woman who does not weave may suffer from cold. I have never heard of people having enough food and clothing by robbing and killing people."

"If you really want to live well and stay alive, cannibalism won't work. In the end, if you rob, kill, and eat everyone, will you be able to survive?"

This left Li Qinghua speechless.

But he knew that Teacher Li was trying to change the concept.

They say that in troubled times, only the fittest survive.

The other party talks about survival from a human perspective.

They were not on the same wavelength at all, so he just smiled and didn't argue with him.

When Lin Wan saw this scene, she just smiled and didn't interrupt.

Zhou Qingming couldn't help but snorted, looking at Liang Yuan who was walking in front of him, and suddenly said: "I want to know, for someone as powerful as Mr. Liang, is it possible that all the food and daily necessities are grown by himself? Has he never robbed others' things?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Wan and Li Qinghua's faces changed slightly.

Li Qinghua immediately scolded: "Old Zhou!"

Lin Wan also looked at Liang Yuan and said hurriedly: "Mr. Liang, Lao Zhou didn't mean that..."

Liang Yuan, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at the three people indifferently.

The three of them were startled.

Li Qinghua's scalp also tingled. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something.

However, Liang Yuan had already spoken.

"Does killing the people on your Flamingo count as robbery?"

"If this is considered robbery, then I have robbed quite a few, haha."

After saying that, he turned around and continued walking forward.

Zhou Qingming's face turned red with embarrassment.

Li Qinghua and Lin Wan looked at each other and couldn't help but sigh.

Li Yuejin chuckled and said, "I won't offend anyone unless they offend me. When facing the bandits who came to our door, our counterattack is not called looting, but self-protection!"

He strode after Liang Yuan, leaving Li Qinghua and the other two behind with uncertain expressions.

Zhou Qingming couldn't help but curse: "That's just the law of the jungle..."

"Old Zhou!" Li Qinghua shouted.

Lin Wan was also annoyed and said: "Say less, I am stronger than you now..."

Zhou Qingming was suddenly speechless.

As they were talking, they had already reached the river.

Liang Yuan looked back at the three of them and said, "You three, find a way to catch up."

The three of them were stunned, and the next moment, they saw Liang Yuan grab Li Yuejin with one hand, and then suddenly a flame exploded under his feet.

Two wheels of fire instantly appeared under his feet.

Before the three of them could react, Liang Yuan and the other man disappeared from their sight in an instant.

Only a streak of fire remained in the air, shooting out like a meteor.

The fire line was so fast that it burned the air and caused a large amount of rainwater to evaporate, forming a rainbow-like light and shadow refraction.

Zhou Qingming's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but say, "What a fast speed!"

Li Qinghua's face kept changing. Although it was not the first time he saw Liang Yuan use this move, but when he saw his terrifying speed again, he really felt powerless in his heart.

Such a speed has already made the opponent invincible.

Unless you can truly develop your spatial ability to the point where you can teleport, there is really no way you can compete with your opponent in speed.

Lin Wan couldn't help but sigh: "Being his enemy is really despairing."

Li Qinghua took a deep breath and said, "Let's go. We shouldn't let others look down on us."

Lin Wan asked quickly: "Your injuries haven't healed yet, why don't we find some wood and make a raft."

Li Qinghua shook his head: "I can do it."

As he spoke, he opened his hands and circular space bubbles suddenly appeared around him.

The space bubble wrapped around the three people, and as Li Qinghua took a step forward, they suddenly appeared ten meters away.

The space continued to twist and fold, and the three of them continued to speed up.

The waves roared, but could not penetrate the space bubble where Li Qinghua was.

He tried his best to catch up with the line of fire, but he could only watch it go farther and farther away, and finally disappear between the two mountains on the opposite side.

Li Qinghua gritted his teeth and finally moved three or four kilometers, but he couldn't hold on any longer. He found a floating template and the three of them stopped.

Zhou Qingming said: "Qinghua, you don't have to worry about me, I can go by myself, you just take Sister Wan with you."

After saying that, without waiting for Li Qinghua to speak, his figure suddenly turned into a ball of blood mist. With a whoosh, it floated up, quickly spreading on the water surface, and drifting towards the direction where Liang Yuan and the others disappeared.

Seeing this, Li Qinghua gritted his teeth, stood up and said, "Sister Wan, let's follow!"

Sister Wan quickly said, "Qinghua, you take a break. I'll row for a while."

Li Qinghua said: "We can't let him look down on us."

As he spoke, he gritted his teeth, grabbed Sister Wan's wrist, opened the space bubble again, and took rapid steps forward.

One step is ten meters, the space is folded, and it feels like shrinking the distance by three feet.

When the three of them finally arrived between the two mountains after traveling to great lengths, they saw that the Flamingo was quietly parked on the water between Yangshan and Meishan.

The former restricted area of ​​water now has a floating bridge and ships docked there.

Liang Yuan stood on the freighter and looked calmly at Li Qinghua and the other two who had pale faces.

The three of them gritted their teeth and relied on their perseverance to move onto the boat.

But at this moment they were exhausted, trembling all over, and soaked.

I don’t know if it was wet from the rain, soaked from sweat, or from swimming in the river.

Liang Yuan nodded slightly: "Not bad, a little faster than I thought."

He looked at Li Qinghua and asked, "You said that the people on the Flamingo were attracted by your abilities. What can your spatial abilities bring to them?"

Li Qinghua said weakly: "I can create a space to isolate the moisture and bacteria from the outside world. I can even find a way to consume the oxygen inside, and then form an excellent storage space for food."

Liang Yuan raised his eyebrows when he heard this. This ability would indeed be very useful in this apocalyptic flood.

No wonder these vicious guys on the Flamingo would actually take in Li Qinghua and the other two.

Especially Brother Huo, who is obviously not a generous person, but he can tolerate Li Qinghua.

It turns out that it is not something that can be accommodated, but something that is indispensable.

Liang Yuan asked in confusion: "I can understand that the space bubble you created isolates the moisture and bacteria from the outside world, but how is the oxygen inside consumed?"

Li Qinghua said: "I will make a fire basin in advance, and then directly wrap the space bubble around the fire basin to form a closed space."

"When a flame burns, it consumes the oxygen in the confined space. When the flame goes out, it means that the oxygen has been consumed."

Liang Yuan suddenly realized that flames cannot burn out of thin air, they need oxygen to help them burn.

The other party obviously used the characteristics of fire to create a space bubble with an oxygen-free environment.

He couldn't help but laugh. Everyone had his own unique understanding of how to use his own special abilities.

Li Qinghua obviously has his own ideas about his spatial ability.

In fact, Li Qinghua's use of space ability to preserve food is somewhat redundant with his own inventory.

The food in the Yangshan Shelter does not need to be preserved by Li Qinghua.

It was impossible for Liang Yuan to let him keep the food.

However, this method of artificially transforming an independent space is not necessarily only used to store food, but can also be used to store other things.

You know, Liang Yuan’s inventory has a very helpless feature, which is that it cannot store living things.

But Li Qinghua’s space bubble can.

Liang Yuan suddenly thought that Li Qinghua's ability could perhaps be used in plant cultivation, to cultivate a fungal environment, and the like.

Furthermore, this space bubble can also be used to build a sterile ward.

All in all, Li Qinghua's spatial ability is indeed very useful.

This is also the reason why Liang Yuan did not kill the opponent at the beginning, but instead wanted to subdue him.

He looked at Li Qinghua and the other two and said, "Although you have joined the Yangshan Shelter, according to the rules of our shelter, you all have to serve for a month before you can officially become members of the shelter."

"It just so happens that the Meishan Shelter is about to be built, and we need people right now. The three of you can be put to good use."

"Your performance this month will determine where you will be assigned in the future."

"During your breaks from service, you can wander around and visit the Yangshan Shelter."

Li Qinghua and the other two lowered their heads in silence, acquiescing to this arrangement.

It's just that psychologically, Li Qinghua found it a little hard to accept. After all, he felt that he was a space power user, not an ordinary power user.

The rarity of space abilities is no more common than abilities such as strength and speed.

He thought that after he bowed his head and joined the other party's shelter, he would be assigned a position like patrol captain.

Now he was suddenly arranged to serve for a month, which caused him to feel extremely disappointed.

Liang Yuan looked indifferent, as if he couldn't tell the emotions of the three people, and asked calmly: "Now take me to find the supplies on the Flamingo."

"Yes."

Li Qinghua suppressed his emotions, nodded quietly, and then took Liang Yuan to the captain's room. Liang Yuan was surprised: "The supplies are in the captain's room?"

Li Qinghua said: "There is a warehouse under the captain's room, which is usually hidden by Brother Huo. It not only contains various materials looted by the Flamingo, but also some of his treasures."

Arriving at the captain's room, Li Qinghua went under the seat, lifted the gray carpet, revealing a steel plate underneath.

Then he pushed hard, and the steel plate was pushed open immediately, revealing a pitch-black space inside. Next to the steel plate was a rope ladder hanging in the dark space.

Liang Yuan snapped his fingers and a wisp of flame emerged from his palm. The flame was like a weak fire dragon, moving around in his palm.

Li Qinghua entered first. Liang Yuan looked inside and saw that it was a small space, only about ten square meters.

Following Li Qinghua into the space under the captain's room, under the light of the fire, we saw that the entire room was shrouded in a huge space bubble.

Various supplies were piled up in the space bubble, including rice, flour, oil, grains, various snacks and other items.

In addition, there is a cabinet outside the space, which contains some strange things.

There are monster bones, stones of different colors, and some shells and other things in there.

Li Qinghua said: "In this cabinet are some special items he collected, but he doesn't know how to use them."

"For example, this monster bone. A mutant who failed to mutate used this bone as a weapon. With one blow, it could easily smash through a building. I don't know how it worked."

"This kind of stone should be a supernatural stone. We didn't know about it before, and we didn't understand how to use it. Last time, Brother Huo captured someone from the Yangshan Shelter and forced them to tell him how to use the supernatural stone."

"And these shells are from some mutant monsters. Some have strong defensive power, and some can be used as weapons, just like that monster bone."

He introduced the items in the cabinet one by one. Liang Yuan recognized those stones immediately after just one glance. They were supernatural stones, but most of them were white.

Most of them are similar to the ones that Lin Laodao and his friends picked up in Midu Flower Garden.

Only a small part of them have different colors, and most of them are blue supernatural stones.

There is no doubt that this thing should be a water-attributed supernatural stone.

Liang Yuan had never seen any water-attributed supernatural stone on Yangshan Mountain.

I don’t know where Brother Huo and his group got this kind of supernatural stone.

Among the many supernatural stones, in addition to the blue water-attributed supernatural stone, there are also quite a few black stones. Liang Yuan took out a black stone from them.

This magical stone seemed to be so black that it completely absorbed all light. Any light that fell on its surface would be swallowed up by it.

Is this... dark attribute?

Liang Yuan was thoughtful and thought of Wu Ying's supernatural powers, which seemed to be very similar to the energy in this supernatural stone.

Liang Yuan put down the stone and turned to look at the bone stick.

The bone stick is more than 1.5 meters long, with both ends round, similar to the leg bone of some animal.

Liang Yuan picked up the bone stick and immediately noticed something unusual about it.

This bone stick is extremely heavy to hold!

Liang Yuan felt that this bone rod was several times heavier than an iron rod of the same size!
What does this mean?
This shows that the bone density of this bone rod has exceeded that of steel.

Liang Yuan used the firelight to carefully examine the bone stick.

He noticed that there were obvious dense lines on the surface of the bone stick. At first glance, they looked like cracks in the bone, but if you look closely, you can see that these lines have a certain regularity.

It's definitely not a crack, more like some kind of texture.

Moreover, these are lines growing on the bones, not the kind that were carved there later by people.

In addition, the white joint material at both ends of the bones has a faint silvery glow.

The light is not obvious and can only be discovered accidentally using peripheral vision.

Liang Yuan tried to touch the bone stick with his mental power, but there was no response.

It's not a spiritual attack weapon.

This silver-white light may be a bone mutation, evolving into some kind of metal.

Liang Yuan couldn't help but think of Cheng Zhanpeng and Shi Haizhu.

The superpowers of both of them are to directly change their bodies.

One is to metalize, the other is to petrify yourself.

Is it possible that as these two people continue to evolve and use their superpowers, after a long time, their muscles and bones will gradually show the characteristics of superpowers?

Did the owner of this bone stick also have a similar metallization ability, causing his bones to undergo this kind of changes over a long period of time?

"Mr. Liang, do you need me to remove the space bubble here?" Li Qinghua looked at Liang Yuan and asked.

Although he looked questioning, he guessed in his heart that the other party would not let him withdraw.

After seeing my abilities, the other party should be able to realize my importance.

The one-month service period should be cancelled.

He, Li Qinghua, is different from ordinary psychics.

"Well, remove it."

"OK?"

Li Qinghua agreed subconsciously, but then looked at Liang Yuan in astonishment.

Do you really want to remove it?
Isn’t he worried that these foods will rot and spoil without their own space bubbles to preserve them?

Liang Yuan glanced at him and said, "Why are you still standing there?"

Li Qinghua's breathing stagnated, and he was very puzzled. He couldn't help but say, "Mr. Liang, without this layer of space bubble to preserve it, the food inside will easily get damp and spoil."

"Especially in a cabin like this, the humidity is even worse."

Liang Yuan glanced at him and said, "Then don't put it here."

Li Qinghua was speechless. Is this a problem if it is just left there?
The heavy rain keeps coming. Even if we put it in other places, wouldn’t it get damp and deteriorate?
Where could be safer than a space bubble created by yourself?

But the words were on the tip of his tongue, but he refused to say them.

He walked towards the space bubble, secretly wondering what the other party was thinking.

Walking to the space bubble, he stretched out his hand and pressed it on the space bubble.

With a flick of the brush, the air bubbles suddenly dissipated.

The space around was slightly distorted, as if wrinkled clothes were ironed flat, and then the space returned to normal.

Liang Yuan came to the pile of supplies and, under Li Qinghua's puzzled gaze, reached out to touch the supplies.

brush!
Swipe!

Brush brush!
All the supplies disappeared in an instant at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Li Qinghua suddenly opened his eyes wide, a look of disbelief on his face.

"you you--"

He looked at Liang Yuan, his face full of shock and astonishment!
Space powers!

This guy named Liang actually possesses spatial abilities!

He could clearly feel a flash of spatial fluctuation!
too fast!
He couldn't even see clearly how the other party opened and closed the space.

He didn't even have time to react before the other party had already put all the supplies into the alien space!

Li Qinghua could hardly believe his eyes.

This Liang Yuan actually also possesses spatial abilities!

The other party also possessed the spatial ability that he was so proud of?

At this moment, the pride and confidence in his heart were instantly shattered by this scene.

Liang Yuan put away all the supplies, then put all the collections in the cabinet into the inventory, and finally looked at him.

"Let's go."

"Wait a moment!"

Li Qinghua couldn't help but take a step forward and asked excitedly: "You...you are also a space ability user?"

Liang Yuan said calmly: "Do you think you are the only special one in this world?"

Li Qinghua opened his mouth and said, "I... I have never seen a person with the same abilities as me. I thought I was the special one..."

Liang Yuan sneered: "Do you know how many people there are in this world? There are more than 1.4 billion people in China alone."

"Why do you think you are the most special one?"

"Even if the probability of a space power user awakening is very small, with a base of 1.4 billion people, how many people do you think will awaken the same power as you?"

Li Qinghua was speechless and stood there in a daze.

Liang Yuan didn't say anything else, just said: "Put away your arrogance, this is a refuge, you should think about how to make good use of your abilities and live a better life with everyone."

"I believe you have also experienced the turmoil and chaos when a disaster first strikes. Do you like a world without moral and legal constraints?"

"There is no trust between people. Do you like such a life?"

"Everyone is wary of each other, always worried about someone stabbing them in the back. The whole world is dark, and negative emotions surround everyone. Do you like it?"

"There's no one around to talk to, and no one to share my deepest feelings with. Do you like that feeling of loneliness?"

Liang Yuan walked to the rope ladder and said, "If you don't like it, just follow me and run the shelter well. At least here in Yangshan, we can live with everyone."

After saying that, he flashed and jumped up directly, leaving the dark cabin of the captain's room.

The dark cabin fell into darkness. Li Qinghua stood in the darkness, and Liang Yuan's words flashed through his mind.

The boundless darkness seemed to take him back to the time when the great flood just began.

He clearly remembered that the power went out that day, and as a single man, he anxiously called his friends and family.

But at that time, the phone was no longer connected and the Internet was no longer accessible.

On that dark night of the power outage, there were lightning, thunder and heavy rain outside, and he felt as if he had been abandoned by the whole world.

In the past, he always claimed that he was a bachelor and would never pay for high bride prices or high housing prices.

But in fact, he knows in his heart that he longs for someone who understands him and longs for a love that resonates with his soul.

No one really likes loneliness. Most people are just forced to be single.

Humans are, after all, social animals.

You can say that you are not sociable and you are socially anxious, but you definitely do not enjoy loneliness.

At least you have a mobile phone, friends on the Internet, and a channel to vent your emotions.

It could be reading a book and writing a few swear words in the book review.

Or you may see a short video and feel unhappy and leave a few negative comments.

Loneliness means that you have nowhere to place your emotions and nowhere to vent them. You have to digest and bear everything by yourself.

No one will like this.

At least Li Qinghua knew that he didn't like that.

But when the flood first started, many people fell into this situation.

There is no internet, no signal, there is a riot outside, and you can only stay at home.

Fear will overwhelm you like a tidal wave.

At that time, he was very weak and helpless.

He thought it was because he was too weak to change anything, and because he was trapped at home by the riots.

But after Li Qinghua awakened his supernatural powers and walked out of the house, he shared his food with a female neighbor for the first time. When the neighbor burst into tears of gratitude, he was happy at that time.

However, that night, the female neighbor brought a large group of people into his house, robbed his food, and even wanted to kill him.

He felt that his trust and goodwill were worthless.

He killed those people and caught the neighbor woman and asked her why she did it.

The female neighbor knelt down and begged for mercy, saying that she was forced.

However, Li Qinghua did not believe her, and from then on, he never dared to trust anyone again.

It was not until he met Zhou Qingming and Sister Wan, and they had a life-threatening experience together, that they gradually established trust.

At that time, he clearly realized how precious it was to have a trustworthy friend in this world.

He saw a lot of this precious feeling in Yangshan.

Do people in Yangshan trust each other so much?

No, it's not a people problem.

It's an environmental problem.

It was Mr. Liang who provided the people of Yangshan with an environment where they could trust each other.

People here don’t have to worry about not having enough food or warm clothes, don’t have to worry about others snatching their food away, and don’t have to worry about being stabbed in the back.

Without these precautions, people's sense of morality and legal constraints will emerge, and people will become as easy to trust and deal with as they were before the end of the world.

In addition, they need to work together here and face the mutated creatures from the outside world together, so there is a natural basis for trust and cooperation.

That's why there is such harmony here.

In the darkness, Li Qinghua was troubled by thoughts, and it took a long time before he slowly exhaled.

"Who doesn't like to live like this?"

“I like it, too.”

In the darkness, a hint of relief flashed in his eyes, and the arrogance in his heart was completely gone at this moment.

Two hurried footsteps were heard above the captain's room.

Zhou Qingming shouted, "Tsinghua? Are you okay? Are you there?"

Sister Wan also hurriedly said: "Qinghua, say something."

Zhou Qingming said angrily, "Will the Liang guy do something dirty?"

Sister Wan immediately whispered, "Keep your voice down!"

At this time, Li Qinghua's voice was heard from downstairs in the cabin.

"Lao Zhou, Sister Wan, I'm fine."

Then Li Qinghua was seen climbing up along the rope ladder.

Seeing the two of them, Li Qinghua smiled and said, "I'm fine. I'm fine now."

Zhou Qingming and Lin Wan were both stunned when they saw the smile on Li Qinghua's face.

Zhou Qingming hesitated for a moment and asked, "Really?"

Li Qinghua nodded: "Yes, it's true."

He climbed out and said, "Let's go find the person in charge of Meishan. With my ability, I should be able to do a lot during my one-month service period."

Zhou Qingming and Sister Wan couldn't help but look at each other, both revealing a hint of doubt.

Li Qinghua walked out of the captain's room.

Zhou Qingming asked in a low voice: "Is there something wrong with Qinghua?"

Sister Wan nodded slightly: "Yes, a little."

"What's going on? Wasn't he quite reluctant to serve Liang for a month?" Zhou Qingming whispered.

Sister Wan shook her head slightly: "I don't know, but I can see that he seems to have really let go of something."

"Is this a good thing or a bad thing?"

"It should be a good thing. Okay, stop talking so much. Let's catch up. I will find a chance to talk to him later." Sister Wan whispered.

Zhou Qingming nodded, and the two of them quickly followed him out.

Li Qinghua and the other two did not go looking for Liang Yuan again, but consciously followed the people from Konka Garden in the cabin to find Zhao Kai's team to sign up and join the service.

Liang Yuan stood at the bow, watching this scene with a smile on his face.

This person with space ability was completely suppressed by him.

Next, all we need to do is let him follow the arrangements and participate in the construction of the Meishan Shelter Base, while letting him slowly integrate into the life circle of the Yangshan Shelter.

This space user with great potential was basically completely conquered by him.

Ding Yan came over at this time and said, "Liang Yuan, what should we do with this freighter?"

Liang Yuan heard this and pondered for a moment before asking, "Besides Zhu Yuchuan, is there anyone else who knows about boats?"

Ding Yan shook her head slightly: "I'm not sure, I have to go back to Yangshan to ask."

Liang Yuan said: "We are so short of talent. Ask Zhu Yuchuan if he can maintain the ship."

"This ship is rusty. If it is not maintained in time, I am afraid it will soon be unusable."

"In the future, we will build Meishan and Yangshan into super shelters, so it is necessary to form a fleet."

"Whether it's rescuing trapped people or searching for supplies, we need a fleet."

"So shipbuilding professionals are very important. What was the name of the old professor you told me about last time?"

Upon hearing this, Ding Yan said, "Professor Li Hanzhong."

"He's in the residential building near Linjiang University?"

“Not sure, but the probability is high.”

Liang Yuan nodded slightly: "It seems that we have to find a way to go there. Does Linjiang University have a boat?"

Ding Yan said: "There was before, but it's hard to say now."

Liang Yuan was puzzled: "What do you mean?"

Ding Yan pointed to the freighter under her feet and said, "I just discovered that this Flamingo is actually a ship of the Linjiang University School of Shipbuilding."
