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

Chapter 513 Ji Xiaoyu wants to make a deal

Liang Yuan was stunned. Ji Xiaoyu's words contained too much information.

He always thought that Ji Xiaoyu was alone.

From what she said, she is not alone?

Ji Xiaoyu nodded and whispered, "At this point, I can see that you, Mr. Liang, are different from Wu Yaobang and his people. You are good people."

"I am not actually alone. There is a force behind me."

Liang Yuan became interested, so he sat down and said, "Tell me in detail."

Ji Xiaoyu also sat down. She said slowly, "What Wu Yaobang said was right. About three months ago, we who were trapped in the wrinkled space actually formed an alliance organization."

"There are quite a few genetically gifted people in the organization, but they were all murdered by Wu Yaobang."

"After Wu Yaobang killed these gene species masters, he began to annex Xiaomaoshan, rule the survivors on Xiaomaoshan, and build the Garden of Eden, hoping to create his own kingdom of God."

"At that time, many women were killed and raped by him."

"Anyone who resists will be brutally killed by him and hung on a cross on Xiaomao Mountain as a warning to others."

"I remember clearly that in that short half month, nearly one-tenth of the survivors in Xiaomaoshan died."

“My sister, who did not want to be raped by him, was also crucified by them.”

Speaking of this, Ji Xiaoyu's eyes turned red, tears welled up in his eyes, and hatred flowed.

Liang Yuan then understood why Ji Xiaoyu was so angry at the people in the Garden of Eden.

Why do they hate Wu Yaobang so much?

It turns out there is such a past behind this.

Considering Wu Yaobang's viciousness and insidiousness, it is not surprising that he did these things.

Liang Yuan asked: "Then what?"

Ji Xiaoyu whispered, "Some of us have awakened mermaid-like abilities that allow us to survive underwater, so we all escaped from Xiaomao Mountain and chose to survive underwater."

"We built a shelter under the water. Only mermaids who can breathe underwater can enter."

"Wu Yaobang also knew of our existence, but he couldn't stay underwater to fight for a long time, so he couldn't do anything to us."

Liang Yuan couldn't help but be surprised. An underwater shelter built by a group of mermaid-type psychics?

"Wait, you call yourselves merpeople? Not mermaids?"

Ji Xiaoyu shook his head: "It's different. There are many differences between the superpowers of mermaids and mermaids."

"Although both can transform into fish and survive underwater by breathing, the mermaids are more inclined to evolve physically."

"And us mermaid-type mutants are more inclined to evolve our mental power."

"And after we mermen and fish-like psychics transform, we will actually retain most of our human form, but mermaid psychics will have more fish form after transforming."

Liang Yuan was amazed. If that was the case, it was no wonder that Ji Xiaoyu's transformation was obviously different from Zhang Peng's transformation into a mermaid.

Liang Yuan originally thought it was because of gender, but he didn't expect that the two were not the same supernatural power at all.

Liang Yuan asked: "How many people are there?"

"A dozen or so."

Ji Xiaoyu did not mention the exact number of people, obviously holding something back and not wanting Liang Yuan to know everything.

When Liang Yuan heard this, he immediately knew that Ji Xiaoyu must have underestimated the number. He was afraid that the number of mermaids with special abilities like her behind her definitely exceeded this number!

He was very surprised and couldn't help asking, "How come there are so many people with the same type of abilities?"

You know, this is not an ordinary superpower like strength or speed.

Liang Yuan has not seen many mermaids and mermen with special abilities outside.

So far, he has only met Zhang Peng.

Ji Xiaoyu in front of him is the second one.

Why are there so many of them suddenly appearing now?
Ji Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment and said, "Our people have also analyzed the reasons for this. Everyone agrees that after the flood, humans' instinct for survival will drive many people to want to live in the water."

"There are quite a few people who have awakened their special abilities with such thoughts. I think the vast majority of people will probably awaken special abilities like ours."

"There is another reason. Before the great flood, all of us lived by the river, and our ancestors were fishermen for generations."

"Although we don't catch fish anymore since the fishing ban in Linjiang, the government still arranged fishery-related jobs for us."

"People like us still try to catch some fish secretly to eat."

"Everyone agrees that our ancestors may have fish-related genes in our bodies, so it should be easier to awaken mermaid or merman-like abilities."

Liang Yuan was silent for a moment.

As early as in Midu Garden, he had discovered that the awakening of human superpowers was closely related to the spiritual thoughts they most desired when they were in life-and-death crisis.

Whatever power you desire most before you die, you are more likely to prefer that ability when you awaken.

This part of the genes will respond to spiritual needs first, thereby manifesting and forming superpowers.

According to Ji Xiaoyu's description, the group of people behind her are families related to fishery administration.

Their ancestors have been fishermen for generations and have eaten fish all their lives, so the fish genes in their bodies are naturally rich and diverse.

In this case, it is not uncommon to awaken the genes of mermaids or mermen first.

The flood water has not stopped rising to this day.

If humans want to survive, they must either run to higher places or learn to blend into the flood and become a part of it.

Mermaids and mermen, both of the latter, are gradually merging into the flood.

The human race has also taken different directions on the road of evolution.

Such a thought flashed through Liang Yuan's mind.

He looked up at Ji Xiaoyu again and asked, "Can you take me to your underwater shelter?"

Ji Xiaoyu immediately shook her head and became alert: "No, we must not tell you about our underwater shelter." She subconsciously rejected Liang Yuan, but soon realized that her attitude might not be good.

She changed the subject and advised: "Besides, even if I tell you, you can't get in."

"It's too deep underwater, and the pressure is too great. Even if you are a superpower, it would be difficult to bear it."

"Unless you are a mermaid or a merman with special abilities, you can adjust the osmotic pressure of your cells to adapt to the underwater environment."

Her words were well-reasoned and obviously much more tactful than directly rejecting Liang Yuan.

However, Liang Yuan just smiled and asked, "How do you know I'm not a mermaid with special abilities?"

"what?"

Ji Xiaoyu was stunned and looked at Liang Yuan as if to say, do you think I'm a fool?

Liang Yuan had demonstrated powerful psychic abilities in front of her before, so she didn't believe that Liang Yuan was a mermaid with special abilities.

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Liang Yuan didn't waste any words and just stood up and said, "Let's go."

"where to?"

"Go underwater and you'll find out."

Ji Xiaoyu frowned, followed Liang Yuan and walked all the way to the flood under Xiaomao Mountain.

Liang Yuan jumped and jumped directly into the water.

Ji Xiaoyu also jumped into the water lightly.

As soon as she entered the water, her body immediately changed automatically.

Dense pink scales spread out, and the already beautiful face became even whiter and gentler, and the eyes became as clear as gems.

Her hands and feet also grew webbed feet.

Ji Xiaoyu moved his body comfortably and looked back at Liang Yuan.

When he saw this, his eyes suddenly widened.

However, Liang Yuan, who was not far away, did not take any defensive or water-avoiding measures.

Instead, just stand in the water.

Webbed webs also grew on his hands, and gills evolved behind his ears.

There were no scales on his face, but the cells seemed to have undergone some changes, and the stratum corneum seemed to have become thicker.

“You, you… you—”

Ji Xiaoyu opened his mouth wide, his face full of disbelief, and even stuttered for a moment.

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "So, do you think I am a mermaid?"

"This is impossible, this is impossible, you are obviously a psychic ability user, no, that's not right, you are also an ice ability user."

"That's not right. I've seen you release flames. What kind of mutant are you?"

Ji Xiaoyu was confused. She had no idea what type of psychic this man in front of her was.

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "All you need to know is that I am a mermaid now. Now, can you take me to your shelter?"

Ji Xiaoyu scratched his head, looking confused.

Liang Yuan laughed and said, "Why, is your shelter so exclusive?"

Ji Xiaoyu shook his head and said, "Everyone is very kind, but they have been hurt by people on the shore, so they don't want to associate with them anymore."

Liang Yuan asked: "They don't go ashore? They live underwater all the time?"

"That's not the case. Sometimes I get really bored or miss the food on shore, so I go ashore to find something to eat."

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Do you think I am a person on the shore, or am I considered one of your people underwater?"

"This..." Ji Xiaoyu didn't know how to answer.

Liang Yuan said: "I think that no matter whether we are on the shore or underwater, we were all human beings before, right?"

"Wu Yaobang and his people can only represent a part of the population. Bad people like him can be found everywhere."

"Even if you are all under the water, are there no bad people among the mermaids or mermen?"

Ji Xiaoyu was silent. She was somewhat convinced.

The key point is that the person who convinced me is also a mermaid.

Well, probably.

At least she no longer had the same feeling of rejection towards Liang Yuan as she did towards the humans on the other side of the river.

Liang Yuan said: "Take me to see it, don't you want to make a deal with me?"

"You have to let me know what kind of people are around you, so that I can share half of Xiaomaoshan's resources with you, right?"

Ji Xiaoyu was immediately persuaded. She thought for a moment and said, "Then swear that you will never hurt them."

"I swear." Liang Yuan said with a smile.

Ji Xiaoyu nodded: "Come with me."

The little girl paddled forward a few times, a strange light flashed on her body, and her two long, white legs suddenly came together.

Wrapped in the supernatural light, her legs were covered with a layer of streamlined film, as if she had a fish tail.

As she gently swung her legs, her whole body shot out like a sharp arrow in an instant!
Seeing this scene, Liang Yuan couldn't help but be a little surprised.

He immediately activated his [Gene Change] talent, and similar energy films condensed on his legs, forming a fish tail shape.

Then he swung his fish tail vigorously, and in an instant, his speed soared!

Ji Xiaoyu, who was standing in front of him, was surprised when he saw this scene. He asked, "Aren't you a mermaid? How come you can swim like a mermaid?"

Liang Yuan then realized that this skill was actually called [Tail Swim], and from what Ji Xiaoyu said, this skill was something that only mermaids with special abilities could do.
