Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food

Chapter 1338 - 671: Lin Ya’s Request

The thick stench of blood drew in a large number of Mutant Fish.

Countless Mutant Fish surged toward those corpses and began to tear them apart and share the flesh.

Liang Yuan no longer looked; his figure flickered as he left the water, broke through the ice, and returned to Yangshan.

"That Invisible Superpower User just now was obviously trying to ambush me, or else trying to seize the chance to rescue Leng Yuehua."

"That superpower is actually kind of interesting. Not only can she turn invisible, she seems able to hide even the fluctuation of Spiritual Power, making it impossible to detect her."

"But it’s also a bit chicken-rib—this kind of ability shouldn’t be able to fool infrared detection."

Liang Yuan shook his head, feeling that this superpower could deceive human vision, but it couldn’t deceive technology.

A single infrared detector could practically force her to show herself in an instant.

Of course, not just infrared detectors—Spiritual Ability Glasses would probably be able to spot her too.

So this ability sounds impressive, but in practice it’s a bit chicken-rib.

Unless when she turns invisible, she can also completely hide and compress her own energy.

But this also indirectly showed that Yangshan’s defense system was still not perfect enough.

She’d managed to slip in that easily.

"A Shelter’s defense system can’t rely only on Superpower Users. You have to integrate technological methods as well."

Thoughts flickered through Liang Yuan’s mind.

Back at Yangshan, Liang Yuan settled Yang Mei and the others.

Over the next two days, Ding Yan led the Yangshan Patrol Team and successively arrested twenty-one members of Leng Yuehua’s group.

According to Zhuang Shuyuan’s interrogation, this crew had a total of thirty people.

Only a few managed to escape; the rest were either captured or drowned hiding in the water.

That day, Liang Yuan was on the balcony researching Fire Phosphorus Talismans.

The ignition point of these Fire Phosphorus Talismans was very low. Even in the dead of winter, just slightly stimulating the energy inside would set them burning.

They were basically natural incendiary bombs; a single Fire Phosphorus Talisman Stone was enough to burn for half an hour.

"Combined with a Fire Attribute Superpower User, a Fire Phosphorus Talisman is basically a humanoid incendiary bomb."

Liang Yuan was secretly shocked.

Just imagine: in battle, if a Fire Attribute Superpower User directly whipped out a bunch of Fire Phosphorus Talisman Stones and hurled them out in a burst, detonating them.

Wouldn’t that be a roaring sea of flames? Practically impossible to put out.

He had already mastered the Fire Phosphorus Talisman and could now easily condense this Rune.

Not only that, through this incident, Liang Yuan realized tracking the enemy was also extremely important.

He had also learned Li Yuejin’s Spiritual Brand Rune.

The origins of superpowers were just a few types—basically Elemental Class, Physical Class, Power, Speed, Spirit, and the like.

But the derived abilities were endlessly varied.

So there was never such a thing as learning too many.

Yangshan had accumulated so many Rune Bones, and Liang Yuan hadn’t learned them all. He could only pick the ones useful to himself, or those with relatively high Quality, to study.

"Knock, knock, knock—"

A light knocking came from the balcony side.

Liang Yuan turned his head to look and saw Lin Ya standing at the door, her expression a little unnatural.

"Have you eaten?"

Liang Yuan asked.

Lin Ya nodded slightly. "Yes."

Liang Yuan stood up, pulled open the balcony window, and walked into the room.

It was much warmer inside, but his attitude was cold, making Lin Ya feel a bit of awe.

After hesitating a moment, she followed behind Liang Yuan and still couldn’t help speaking.

"Mr. Liang, I know it’s kind of inappropriate for me to speak up now, but I just wanted to ask—Yue Hua and the others... what ended up happening to them?"

Liang Yuan turned his head to look at her and asked, "If she were still alive, would you beg me to let her go?"

Lin Ya sighed and shook her head. "I already let her off once and betrayed the favor I owed back then. I won’t do something like that again."

Liang Yuan nodded and said, "Good. In that case, don’t ask about the rest."

"This time she sent people to take you away, and you firmly chose to stay. That makes me very pleased."

"But when she used Yang Mei to threaten you, your first reaction should have been to notify me, not to do as she demanded. That part really disappointed me."

Lin Ya hurriedly explained, "But if I didn’t do what she said, she would hurt Yang Mei. I—I couldn’t take that risk."

"Zhou Tiantian’s Invisibility could have been watching me at any moment. I really didn’t dare disobey, and I had no idea how to pass a message to you."

Liang Yuan gave her a glance. "You’re this smart and truly couldn’t think of a way?"

"All you had to do was find Zhuang Shuyuan. You wouldn’t even need to speak—she’d naturally be able to probe out everything."

Lin Ya shook her head, eyes reddening. "I couldn’t just walk around. I didn’t know if Zhou Tiantian was right beside me."

Liang Yuan looked at her again and didn’t keep tangling over this matter.

Strictly speaking, they were lucky this time that Lin Ya had firmly taken Yangshan’s side and never chose to leave with Leng Yuehua.

Otherwise, if Lin Ya really had gone with Leng Yuehua, with Leng Yuehua’s level of viciousness, she would absolutely have detonated the Fire Phosphorus Talismans on Yangshan without hesitation.

At that point Yangshan really would have been destroyed.

Liang Yuan walked into the living room; Yang Mei was still in the room and hadn’t come out.

He asked, "Go on, what did you actually come to say to me?"

Lin Ya lowered her head. "I want to beg for someone’s sake. Please show mercy and spare her life."

Liang Yuan looked at her. "Who?"

"Hei Lan."

A picture of that black, plump woman flashed through Liang Yuan’s mind, and he immediately understood.

The reason that black, plump woman had joined Leng Yuehua’s team and followed Leng Yuehua’s every command was simply because Leng Yuehua had deceived her.

She thought Lin Ya had been forcibly taken by him, so she hated him to the bone.

It showed that this Hei Lan and Lin Ya really did have a very good relationship.

Her reason for wanting to kill him was completely different from Leng Yuehua’s.

Liang Yuan thought for a moment and said, "After we eat, I’ll take you down to the dungeon."

Lin Ya immediately lifted her head, joy and surprise all over her face. "You agree?"

Liang Yuan sneered. "That stupid woman thought I forced myself on you, made you my woman. Leng Yuehua tricked her, and she believed it without question, so she came to kill me."

"Just as well you’re going. Have a good chat with her. I don’t intend to carry this kind of stigma."

Hearing this, Lin Ya was both shocked and overjoyed. She hurriedly said, "When I see her, I’ll definitely explain everything clearly. I’ll definitely tell her you’re not that kind of person."

"You respect every survivor. You’re the best Shelter leader I’ve ever seen, and Yangshan is also the best Shelter I’ve ever stayed in."

Liang Yuan nodded slightly. "Alright, let’s eat."

Lin Ya nodded happily. "I’ll go invite Miss Yang Mei."

With that, she ran toward the bedroom with light, quick steps.

As she ran, her full, bouncy figure swayed with every step, a sight that seized the eye.

Liang Yuan pulled his gaze back and looked at the table full of dishes, getting ready to eat.

In the afternoon, Lin Ya hurriedly cleared the bowls and chopsticks, then waited outside for Liang Yuan to finish his nap.

A moment later, Liang Yuan got up, gently soothed Yang Mei for a while, and only then walked out the door.

The moment he appeared in the living room, Lin Ya stood up at once. "Mr. Liang."

"Mm, let’s go."

Lin Ya took a deep breath and quickly followed in his steps.

Once outside, Liang Yuan rose straight into the air, flying by treading on nothing.

But down below, Lin Ya was instantly dumbfounded.

Her Superpower was [Solid]; she had no means of flight.

She hurriedly shouted on the spot, "Mr. Liang, wait, wait, I can’t fly!"

Liang Yuan paused, suddenly realizing that not every Superpower User could fly.

Support-type Superpower Users like Lin Ya simply didn’t have flight capabilities.

He thought for a moment, then flew back down to the ground. "These people are being held at Meishan. Walking there would waste too much Time. I’ll take you over. You don’t mind, do you?"

"Ah? N-no, I don’t mind, thank you."

Lin Ya didn’t understand what there was to mind. She ought to be thanking him.

But in the next second, she understood.

She saw Liang Yuan walk up to her and reach out to wrap an arm directly around her waist.

Lin Ya’s whole body went stiff at once, and her fair face flushed scarlet in an instant!

"This..."

Liang Yuan said, "Hold on to me."

The next moment, his Spiritual Power condensed into a Telekinesis sphere that wrapped the two of them inside.

With a whoosh, they shot up into the sky.

"Ah—"

Lin Ya was startled and let out a scream before she could help it.

But she immediately clapped a hand over her mouth, realizing she’d lost her composure.

Seeing this, Liang Yuan felt a bit amused and curious.

To everyone, she’d always given off the vibe of a gentle, intellectual older-sister type, an elegant office lady.

It was rare to see such a cute, girlish side of her.

"Never flown before?" Liang Yuan’s voice sounded by Lin Ya’s ear.

By now Lin Ya was so scared she’d shut her eyes tight, not daring to look around.

Her voice trembled. "N-no, never."

Liang Yuan chuckled. "You can open your eyes and look around. Feel it for yourself."

At his words, Lin Ya opened her eyes and took in the scenery around them.

Snowflakes drifted slowly in the air all around, between heaven and earth.

Below her feet were Yangshan and Meishan, blanketed in white, clad in silver.

The buildings on the ground had become tiny, and the people looked as small as little turtles.

She stared at it all in wonder. "So this... is what flying feels like?"

"Not bad, right? Strictly speaking, Shen Yunxi is also a Spirit Ability User. She should’ve condensed a Genetic Species too, yeah? What, she’s never taken you flying?"

At that, Lin Ya said awkwardly, "She’s a bit afraid of heights. I heard her say that even though she’s condensed a Genetic Species, she never dares to fly through the air."

"And the R&D Department also has regulations: no flying is allowed in the airspace above the R&D Department and the complex area, or the air defense system will trigger an alarm."

Hearing this, Liang Yuan was a little taken aback. Shen Yunxi, afraid of heights?

Lin Ya lightly tapped her toes below her.

There was clearly nothing under her feet, yet it felt as if she were stepping on something solid.

She asked in amazement, "This is Telekinesis?"

Liang Yuan nodded slightly. "Yes. Spiritual Power highly focused, forming Telekinesis that interferes with reality."

"I really envy you guys," Lin Ya said with feeling.

Liang Yuan smiled. "Once your Main Attribute breaks past 100 points, no matter what type of Superpower it is, you should be able to grasp the secret of flight."

"Oh right, I never asked—what’s your Genetic Map?"

Lin Ya said, "I don’t know either. I haven’t condensed a Genetic Species yet."

Liang Yuan was stunned. "You haven’t condensed one yet? What’s your Main Attribute?"

"Spirit Class."

"There should be plenty of Spirit Class Genetic Species over at the mall. Why not buy one?"

"I don’t take part in combat situations, so I wasn’t in a hurry to condense a Genetic Species. Better to leave them for people who need them."

Lin Ya smiled and smoothed back a strand of hair mussed by the wind, revealing her delicate profile.

In reality, she’d given a lot of her Points to some of the struggling families in the survivor camp.

She herself worked in the munitions factory, so she wasn’t short of food or drink, but in the Shelter there were still many at the bottom who had no income.

Especially in winter, there was nowhere to hunt.

Even fishing at the fishery required paying some Points to get in.

She and Leng Yuehua really were not the same kind of people at all.

Deep down, she was the inherently kind and gentle type.

She sympathized with the weak and treated others well; there were many facets of human brilliance shining in her.
