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

Chapter 689 Resource Hot Pot King Kong Leopard

"Mr. Liang, do you want to obtain the core of the brain of this Abyss Island?"

Jiang Ziyan immediately asked with delight.

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "If we could find the core of the brain here, that would be ideal. But I feel that it's highly unlikely."

"This abyss island has been submerged for so long, and it is inhabited by so many mutated beasts, including some extremely powerful genetic mutated beasts. I'm afraid that the brain core has either been taken over by other mutated beasts long ago, or it should have vanished with the death of its previous owner."

In fact, Liang Yuan prefers the second scenario.

Because before becoming the Abyss Island, it was first a floating island, and then a drifting island.

Over such a long period of time, it's impossible that no other creature has consumed the brain core and refined it.

As the abyss island plunges down, the owner of the refined brain core will naturally not sink with the island; he will most likely abandon it.

Of course, it's also possible that they couldn't bear to leave the island and ended up falling into the water along with it.

That would make it similar to the situation of the Shadow Dragon in the Maw of the Dark Abyss.

It refined the brain core first, but before it could eat the heart core, Liang Yuan beat it to it.

If the floating island were to transform into an abyss island, its owner would likely abandon it.

Putting aside whether the island's inhabitant is suited to underwater survival, even if they were, there are just too many powerful mutated beasts underwater.

Falling underwater, it forms a deep-sea island. The abundant resources here will attract countless underwater mutated beasts to attack.

That would also threaten the island's owner.

Liang Yuan guessed that the core and brain of this island should have been gone long ago.

Otherwise, the master of this Abyss Island would have already wiped out the people of Spirit Jade Island and these mutated beasts on the island.

Upon hearing Liang Yuan's analysis, everyone looked somewhat disappointed.

Without the brain core, one cannot become the master of this abyss island. Furthermore, since the island is underwater and cannot serve as a survival base, its value is greatly diminished.

Liang Yuan laughed and said, "Everyone, even without the brain core, this Abyss Island is still a resource-rich island. Don't forget, there are a lot of blood crystals inside each giant corpse."

"These blood crystals are important raw materials for condensing genetic material."

"Even after genetic recombination, if you want to enhance your supernatural abilities, the blood crystal can provide a large amount of energy for everyone to cultivate."

"By the way, you've been here for so long, do you know what type of island this Abyss Island is?"

Each floating island has its own unique characteristics.

For example, the Mirage Serpent Space is a spatial attribute.

The Mouth of the Dark Abyss belongs to the Dark attribute.

Miyuan Rainforest, water element.

It is currently unknown what type of island this abyss island is.

“I know that,” Wang Yu’er raised her hand and immediately shouted.

Everyone looked at her. Wang Yu'er was young and looked innocent and naive, but her abilities were very useful.

She is an earth-elemental ability user. In the early days, everyone relied on her earth-elemental ability to travel in and out of the world.

Wang Yu'er said, "I used my earth elemental ability to look around before, and there are a lot of metal-type blood crystals immersed in the bloodline path here."

"I suspect that this abyss island is very likely to be of the metal element."

Wang Ling'er nodded slightly and said, "Indeed, the bloodline path of this Abyss Island is extremely solid. When you tap it, it makes a crisp sound like metal clashing."

"It's probably because of the long-term infiltration of metallic energy."

Jiang Ziyan nodded and said, "Indeed, there are many metal-related things here. It's a pity that none of us have metal-type ability users, otherwise we could thrive here."

Liang Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing this.

It's actually a metal-attribute abyss island!
Of the five elements in his gene pool, only the metal and wood attributes remain to be formed.

The appearance of this abyss island has stirred something within him.

Could this be a stroke of luck?
I was just missing a metallic gene, and that's how I ended up on a metallic abyss island.

"So what do you all think of my suggestion? If you don't want to take any risks, you can wait here for a while while I collect some blood crystals and then we'll leave together."

Liang Yuan immediately asked with a smile.

Wang Ling'er immediately said, "Being able to follow you and mine blood crystals is such a great opportunity, how can we miss it? Hahaha."

Jiang Ziyan and the others immediately burst into good-natured laughter.

After chatting for a few more minutes, everyone agreed to go and mine for blood crystals.

However, before digging out the blood crystal, Wang Ling'er's stomach suddenly made a rumbling sound.

Liang Yuan was taken aback and looked up at Wang Ling'er.

Wang Ling'er blushed and quickly said, "Well, hasn't anyone eaten anything yet?"

“Mr. Liang, our place is simple. All the supplies were taken away with the giant tortoise, so we don’t have much food here.”

"If you don't mind, you can have some of our sashimi."

As she spoke, she pointed to the mutated fish meat hanging in the battalion commander's room.

Liang Yuan was taken aback and couldn't help but ask, "Is this all you've been eating all this time?"

Wang Ling'er nodded slightly and said, "Although the resources here are abundant, the food is limited. There is no shortage of mutated fish and shrimp, but there is basically no oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, or carbohydrates."

"And because none of us have fire-attribute ability users, we can only eat raw food."

Liang Yuan was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this.

Only then did he realize how much suffering Wang Ling'er and the others had endured here.

He asked, "I remember you also have a spatial device. Didn't you store food or something in it?"

Wang Ling'er smiled wryly: "Yes, I have a spatial equipment made from the stomach pouch of an autumn sky fish, but it doesn't contain much food or fresh water. We used up all of these supplies a while ago."

"We'll have to make do with this for now."

Upon hearing this, Liang Yuan shook his head and said, "No, it's not good to eat too much of the flesh and blood of mutated beasts. Their flesh and blood contain a lot of mixed genes, which will pollute your own genes." "Eat what I brought."

Liang Yuan directly retrieved various foods and utensils from the system, including a stove powered by a special energy stone, pots and pans, vegetables, meat, and even drinks and alcohol.

They put it out directly, which made Wang Ling'er, Wang Yu'er, and Jiang Ziyan's eyes widen.

Wang Yu'er swallowed hard, unable to contain herself, and exclaimed, "My God, Mr. Liang, you, you actually have Coke?"

"The great flood happened so long ago, how do you still have these pre-flood supplies?"

Everyone was stunned when they saw these supplies.

Liang Yuan laughed and said, "These are all goods I stockpiled before. As you know, I am a space ability user."

"The food in this space won't spoil or expire, so you can eat it without worry."

"Let's keep it simple and have hot pot. It'll be quick and easy," Liang Yuan said with a smile.

Hearing about hot pot made everyone's mouths water.

Wang Ling'er couldn't help but ask, "You even have hot pot base here?"

Liang Yuan laughed and said, "We don't have much else, but we have plenty of hot pot base."

"When I first left our neighborhood, the first place I stayed was the Huancheng World Trade Center. A lot of supplies there had already been looted, especially in some restaurants."

"However, there was one hot pot restaurant where the frozen beef, mutton, and beef balls were all sold out, but there was still a lot of hot pot ingredients left untouched, which I swept up completely."

As he said this, Liang Yuan took out many packets of hot pot base from his Sumeru space.

Both tomato broth and spicy broth are available.

Everyone's eyes lit up immediately, their faces full of information.

Wang Yu'er immediately picked out a pack of spicy flavor and exclaimed, "Yes, yes, only spicy hot pot is delicious!"

"Sis, let's eat hot pot! All the fish we caught are cut into sashimi, and I want to eat them cooked in the hot pot. Waaah, I miss hot pot so much!"

Wang Yu'er got excited and even started speaking in her hometown dialect.

The two sisters are not from Linjiang; they moved here from Chengdu.

They already love spicy food, and they especially adore hot pot.

"Okay, let's have hot pot today! We'll get to work after we finish eating!"

At Wang Ling'er's command, everyone cheered excitedly.

Three large pots were immediately set up.

Those with water-attribute abilities can directly condense water and pour it into the pot.

Liang Yuan's furnaces are all powered by fire-attribute energy stones, so they don't need open flames or fuel.

The fuel is the fire-attribute power stone in the furnace.

After the hot pot base was added, the water in the stove immediately began to boil, and a spicy and fragrant aroma began to spread, making everyone swallow their saliva.

Beside Wang Ling'er, Wang Yu'er couldn't wait to add the sliced ​​raw fish.

Linghe, who was standing to the side, washed the seaweed and ferns he had found in the corner and put them in.

Only these rare plant species can survive inside this abyss island.

There was meat and vegetables, although the variety was limited, the quantity was generous.

Everyone couldn't wait to start eating. One bite, and the spicy and savory flavor brought tears to their eyes.

They couldn't even remember the last time they had hot pot.

Even in Yangshan, hot pot is a luxury.

After all, hot pot broth needs to be made from beef tallow, and Yangshan is rich in resources; they have even started raising plum blossom pigs themselves.

However, there is no butter available, so there are no restaurants serving hot pot in the Yangshan complex.

For Wang Ling'er and the others, the last time they ate hot pot was before the great flood.

That was a long time ago, how could they not miss it?
Everyone enjoyed the meal immensely.

But as he was eating, Liang Yuan suddenly realized something was wrong.

He couldn't help but turn his head to look at the dark section of road behind him.

But on the path of bloodline they had come from, enormous mutated beasts appeared on the road.

These mutated beasts shimmered with a faint golden aura, each one being two or three meters tall and four or five meters long.

It resembles a leopard, but it has no tail and no leopard spots; instead, it has streamlined, golden, cast muscle blocks.

Its hair is rather short, estimated to be only a few centimeters long. At first glance, it seems as if it has no hair at all, just a pure golden statue.

Its mouth was full of fangs, and its eyes also gleamed with golden light. At this moment, a large amount of viscous fluid was flowing out from between its interlocking fangs.

The lively crowd gradually quieted down.

When Wang Ling'er saw these mutated beasts, her expression instantly darkened, and she said, "They're King Kong Leopards!"

Upon hearing this, Liang Yuan looked at Wang Ling'er: "The Vajra Leopard?"

"Yes, that's the name we gave it. We don't even know what it was originally called."

"Because it resembles a leopard and has a metallic sheen all over its body, we named it King Kong Leopard."

Ling He stood up and said, "Mr. Liang, each of these Golden Leopards possesses strength exceeding that of a genetically modified species. We've been ambushed by them several times before, but don't worry, they pose no threat to us..."

But as he finished speaking, he suddenly caught his breath and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Liang Yuan looked over and saw a larger, more imposing leopard slowly approaching from the darkness.

The numerous leopard cubs quickly retreated, cowering fearfully on either side of it.

The giant leopard that arrived was over ten meters in size and over twenty meters in length!

Liang Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Gene recombination level!"
