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

Chapter 340 Underwater University, Amazing Discovery!
In the endless waves, from time to time there are groups of floating objects being pushed away by the waves.

Above the water, you can see some skyscrapers that are mostly submerged, with only a small section exposed.

A red and white cargo ship sails on the water.

At the bow of the ship, there is a mast with a flag with the word "mountain" on it on a white background.

The flags fluttered in the wind and rain, and one could vaguely see many people patrolling on the freighter.

In the captain's room, Zhu Yuchuan shouted, "Mr. Liang, according to the map, this area should be Linjiang University."

Liang Yuan came over and asked, "Are you sure?"

Zhu Yuchuan nodded: "I'm sure, as long as the map is correct, it must be here."

"And you see, there aren't many tall buildings around here. The highest teaching building of Linjiang University is no more than 30 stories high, so it is likely to be submerged."

Zhang Peng said at this time: "Brother Liang, is this Linjiang University? Can't I go down and take a look?"

Liang Yuan thought about it after hearing this, nodded slightly, and said: "Okay, but you have to be careful, there are many mutant beasts underwater, the deeper the water and the more open the area, the more big ones there are."

Zhang Peng heard this and nodded, "Don't worry, Brother Liang, I know what to do."

He immediately ran to the shore and jumped. While in mid-air, his supernatural powers had been activated.

The body quickly became covered with scales, webbed feet and hands grew, and gills grew behind the ears.

With a splash, he dived into the water.

Liang Yuan looked at Zhang Peng's [Mermaid] ability and his eyes flickered slightly.

This was the first time he saw Zhang Peng use this special ability.

The opponent's [Mermaid] ability is very similar to the underwater state evolved from his own evolved ability.

They can also evolve gills for breathing underwater.

However, the hands and feet did not evolve into webbed shapes.

However, his own [Evolution] ability can be adaptively adjusted according to the environment.

If necessary, webbed feet can actually be evolved.

Another thing is that the cells’ ability to withstand pressure is also different.

When his evolutionary ability is activated, he can automatically adjust the osmotic pressure in his body and is not afraid of the huge pressure of deep water.

However, Zhang Peng's [Mermaid] state seems unable to do this, and he can only swim in specific water depths.

"This may be related to physical attributes."

"My physique is strong enough to allow my evolutionary ability to evolve cells that can withstand high pressure."

"Zhang Peng's awakening ability has not been long, so his attributes are naturally not comparable to mine."

"Perhaps when his physical attribute reaches 50 points, his ability to withstand underwater pressure will even surpass mine."

Ding Yan was holding a telescope in her hand and was also looking for something on the deck.

A moment later, there was a splash on the water surface, and Zhang Peng had emerged from the water. He quickly climbed back onto the freighter, ran to Liang Yuan, and said excitedly, "Brother Liang, it turns out that this is Linjiang University."

"However, there are not many tall buildings at Linjiang University. The tallest one is the administrative building, but it is only about six or seven stories high and has been submerged."

Liang Yuan nodded and said, "It seems we have arrived, Ding Yan? Can you find the building where Professor Li Hanzhong is?"

Ding Yan said: "I'm still looking. There are floods everywhere now. I really can't tell it apart for the time being."

Liang Yuan nodded and said, "Then you take your time to look for it. I need to go downstairs."

Hearing this, Ding Yan quickly asked, "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to the Shipbuilding Institute. There should be a lot of shipbuilding tools there. I need to find a way to bring them all back."

Hearing this, Ding Yan quickly said, "You're crazy! Those things are all under the water, more than 20 stories deep. Do you know how strong the water pressure is there?"

Zhang Peng couldn't help but said, "Brother Liang, I can't even go down to a depth of more than 20 floors underwater."

Liang Yuan smiled and asked, "How deep can you go?"

"Uh, twenty meters is my limit."

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "That's definitely not enough. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

As he spoke, he walked onto the deck, flashed, and stepped into the air.

Ding Yan and others had no time to stop him before Liang Yuan had already jumped into the water gracefully.

Ding Yan suddenly became very anxious, but Li Qinghua beside her seemed to be thinking about something.

"Captain Ding, since Mr. Liang dares to go down, he must be confident. I don't think you need to be too nervous." Li Qinghua said.

After hearing this, Ding Yan calmed down her anxious mood.

She was worried and confused. Come to think of it, with Liang Yuan's personality, it is impossible for him to do anything risky.

She put away her emotions and said, "Zhang Peng, come here and draw me a rough picture of where we are at Linjiang University. I need to confirm the exact location."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Peng nodded quickly, followed her to the pavilion, and began to gesture the location of the ship.

Ding Yan looked at the sketch drawn by Zhang Peng, recalling her past memories of Linjiang University.

She has lived here for many years and is familiar with every road in Linjiang University.

At this moment, with the scene that Zhang Peng saw underwater as a reference, she quickly identified the approximate direction.

Then he picked up the telescope again and locked onto the location of Li Hanzhong's home.

Liang Yuan dived into the water and his evolutionary ability was quickly activated. Gills grew behind his ears and his cells evolved, allowing him to quickly adapt to the underwater conditions.

His eyes have evolved into membranes that allow him to open his eyes underwater and see the underwater scenes clearly.

About twenty meters below the water, there is no light at all.

It was pitch black all around, but Liang Yuan was able to see at night and could see everything around him clearly.

He saw large sections of buildings submerged underwater.

In the distance, Linjiang University is quiet and steady in the dark water.

Unknown huge mutant fish shuttled through the building.

Liang Yuan felt the terrifying aura emanating from these huge mutated fish, and his heart skipped a beat.

These mutated fish already have the strength to threaten him.

Liang Yuan was suspicious: "Could it be that these mutant fish already have genetic species? Otherwise, how could they pose a threat to me?"

He didn't dare to get close easily and continued to dive.

He dived all the way to the underwater road and swam quickly near the woods beside the road.

However, as he approached the nearby woods, the undercurrent he created seemed to alarm the fish and shrimp hiding in the woods.

Suddenly, some small fish and shrimps quickly escaped from the woods.

Liang Yuan stopped immediately. Only then did he realize that these trees were not drowned by the flood. Instead, they survived underwater and turned into underwater plants!
"Have they also evolved and no longer need sunlight and oxygen?"

He found it a little unbelievable, so he stopped and broke off a branch to observe it.

However, as soon as a branch was broken off, the whole tree began to shake violently.

Soon the branches twitched wildly, and like a monster, they wrapped around Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan was shocked and stepped back hastily. He swam quickly underwater with his agile body and soon escaped from the attack range of the tree.

"These trees have really evolved! And it's impossible to tell what species they originally were!"

Liang Yuan looked at the branch in his hand and was shocked.

The underwater world is evolving rapidly in a way that is completely beyond his understanding.

He thought that he had occupied Yangshan, built a shelter, and increased all his attributes to 50 points, and that he was already at the forefront of evolution.

Now that doesn't seem to be the case at all.

He had achieved only a few minor successes on shore.

But in this boundless underwater world, earth-shaking changes have already taken place.

Liang Yuan's face looked solemn, and he immediately stayed away from the bushes.

He swam quickly towards Linjiang University in the distance.

However, before reaching the entrance of Linjiang University, I saw a huge octopus lying on a building at the school gate. The octopus's tentacles were spread all around the building, and its huge spherical head, like a bald human brain, stood on the top of the building.

From a distance, it looked like a disheveled person six or seven stories tall was standing there.

Even from a distance, Liang Yuan could feel the terrifying pressure emanating from the mutant octopus.

"Gene-species creatures!"

"This is definitely a creature with an awakened gene species!"

Liang Yuan took a deep breath and confirmed the matter almost instantly.

The one who could bring him such a terrifying aura of danger must be an existence that has awakened its gene species and opened its genetic map.

Liang Yuan did not continue to approach. He quickly hid his body, bypassed the giant octopus, and swam to the other side of Linjiang University.

After passing through the teaching building area of ​​Linjiang University, we soon approached a commercial street on campus.

In the commercial street, you can see some dead bones lying in the shops.

They might be merchants who failed to escape in time before the flood, or they might be college students who were trapped here.

Liang Yuan didn't pay much attention to it, and didn't even have time to search inside for any useful supplies.

He searched all the way, trying to find the Shipbuilding College as soon as possible.

After about five minutes, Liang Yuan found the School of Shipbuilding in the southwest of Linjiang University.

Behind the Shipbuilding College is the Yangtze River Branch.

The college even has its own set of equipment for producing boats, and small boats designed by students can be experimented with in this tributary.

Liang Yuan swam quickly to the Shipbuilding College.

From a distance he saw many building corridors collapsed and a large number of corpses piled up in the square.

The floor also had signs of cracks and dents.

Obviously there had been a fierce battle here!

Liang Yuan dived quickly and came to the square.

We saw the chains, iron frames and other supporting structures that originally secured the hull scattered on the ground, some of which had been severely corroded.

The flood here is no longer just fresh water, it also contains some seawater components.

Seawater is much more corrosive than fresh water, so it is not surprising that the iron chains and iron racks here are rusted and corroded.

Liang Yuan ignored all this and quickly looked for any useful equipment nearby.

He found some anchors that weren't too corroded and stuffed them directly into his inventory.

Then I continued swimming forward and saw some small boats.

These small boats were too small and seemed to be ignored, so they were thrown into a corner.

Many of the boats were made of iron, and some were made of wood.

Most ships made of steel have suffered from corrosion to varying degrees.

Liang Yuan didn't hesitate and packed everything into the inventory.

Then he crossed the square and entered some teaching buildings that looked like factories.

A large number of mechanical equipment were soon discovered.

Liang Yuan didn't know them either, but he accepted everyone who came and emptied them all.

No matter what the equipment is, just take it away first.

Just as Liang Yuan continued to explore the building, a beam of light suddenly shone over.

Liang Yuan was suddenly shocked. How could there be light under the water dozens of meters deep?

He quickly dodged to the side and hid behind a wall.

Then he looked up and saw a shell-shaped object quickly shooting in from outside.

Liang Yuan noticed that this oval shell object had many runes carved on it.

Around it, there are many ejectors that look like circular pipes.

As it shuttles rapidly through the water, it spits out a large number of bubbles and white waves.

Liang Yuan's eyes suddenly widened in surprise.

"Submersible?"

"No, it's not a technological submersible, it's a supernatural submersible made from supernatural materials!"

"This form seems to be designed using the shell of some kind of shell, with rune technology added!"

Liang Yuan could see the structure of this thing almost at a glance and was shocked.

Someone was able to use shell and rune technology to develop a supernatural version of a submersible!

The submersible circled the factory, as if looking for something, with its lights flickering.

Then he left here in a hurry.

When Liang Yuan saw this, his eyes flashed and he quickly prepared to follow.

However, the opponent's submersible was extremely fast underwater, and a large amount of gas was spewed out of the pipes to help it shoot madly into the distance, disappearing from Liang Yuan's sight in the blink of an eye.

Liang Yuan frowned slightly when he saw this scene.

"What a fast speed! This speed is not much slower than that of a car on land."

If it were on land, Liang Yuan was confident that he could quickly catch up with the submersible.

But underwater, he didn't have this ability.

The evolutionary power gave him the ability to survive underwater, but it did not allow him to evolve the ability to move quickly underwater.

In this water, not only is there the interference of buoyancy, but the resistance of water flow is also much greater than the resistance of air.

Liang Yuan looked at the disappearing submersible and his heart could not calm down for a long time.

"Such a submersible is definitely not something that can be designed by an individual."

"There must be a force that has such research and development capabilities."

Liang Yuan's eyes flickered. Such a force was definitely not a weak existence struggling for survival in a certain building.

The fact that they have such R&D capabilities means that they must have self-sufficient channels and some of their people have already left their jobs.

That's why we can devote our energy to the research and development of such special equipment.

"I'm not the only one working hard under this great flood."

"It seems that in Linjiang City, quite a few people have survived and have even built a shelter of a certain size."

Liang Yuan's eyes flashed, and then he became confused again, why was the other party running so fast?

Have you discovered yourself?

That shouldn’t be the case. If you discovered yourself, why didn’t you take action?

Don't you even want to try it out?

Are you so cautious?

It has certain R&D capabilities and its style of doing things is so cautious and careful.

This immediately made Liang Yuan look at this force with a new respect.

"I don't know how far this submersible can travel. If it's not far, I'm afraid this force should be nearby."

Liang Yuan seemed to be thinking about something, and then another question came to his mind.

The other party came to the School of Shipbuilding of Linjiang University, obviously also for the equipment here.

The other party is also building ships?

Where exactly is this force?

Liang Yuan looked towards the messy square outside.

Could the other party be one of the people who once robbed the big ship here?
