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

Chapter 700 Test Flight Mission
“Mr. Liang, this spaceship doesn’t have a name yet. Why don’t you give it one?” Li Hanzhong said with a smile.

Looking at the spaceship in front of him, Liang Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Let's call it Yangshan No. 1."

"If this test is successful, we will definitely design larger and safer spacecraft in the future."

"The Yangshan series can continue."

Upon hearing this, Li Hanzhong nodded and smiled, "Simple and clear, this is a good name."

Fu Qibo, Ren Jie, and others also clapped and applauded.

The next morning, a task appeared prominently on the task bulletin board in the cafeteria on the first floor of the complex, ranking first.

Mission Name: Spaceship Test Pilot
Job requirements: Applicants must be 18 years of age or older and have at least a high school diploma.

Mission objective: To cooperate with the R&D department in test-flying the 'Yangshan-1' spacecraft and exploring the thunderclouds.

Task Difficulty: ☆☆☆☆☆
Mission Rewards: Three permanent residence permits in the Mirage Serpent Space, three customized gene seeds, 30,000 points...

"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, Lao Li, come quick, come quick, look at today's task bulletin board! There's a big task!"

"What mission? Why are you so excited?"

"It's a mission issued by the R&D department. The mission reward is a permanent residence permit in the Mirage Serpent Space, a customized gene species, 30,000 points, and all sorts of supplies. Holy crap, if I complete this mission, I can basically live a life of ease."

"Let me see, let me see, holy crap! Holy crap!"

"A spaceship? Yangshan has a spaceship now?"

"A residence permit for the Mirage Serpent Space? What's the use of that? My family lives in the Mirage Serpent Space."

"Are you stupid? You're just lucky. You were among the first to join Yangshan, which is why your family was able to enter the Mirage Serpent Space. Look at the ice outside. There are so many people who came later, and even Yangshan doesn't have a place for them to stay."

"So this mission isn't just targeting us, but it also provides an opportunity for those outside?"

"Definitely, I reckon they've already sent out a publicity team to spread the word."

"Don't just look at the residence permit, look at the reward on the back: three custom gene seedlings!"

"Holy crap, a custom genetically modified species! What does that mean?"

"So it means we're custom-producing a gene strain that matches your attributes?"

"Hiss, this one gene seed must cost 30,000 points, right? The R&D department is charging the same price."

"The key is customization. Do you even know what value is? The R&D department only sells three types of gene species: mental, water, and earth attributes. Dark and spatial attributes are basically not sold to the public."

"As a fire-attribute ability user, I can't even find a gene seed that matches my own. If I take on this mission, I can get a fire-attribute gene seed that matches my own."

"The key is that there are three, not one! That's 90,000 points!"

"Take a look behind you, there's a reward of 30,000 points."

"Wow, the R&D department is serious this time!"

"However, with such generous rewards, completing the mission will definitely not be easy."

"A spaceship test flight, where is it headed?"

"If the spaceship crashes, will we not survive?"

"I don't know, the mission details weren't explained clearly."

"Why don't we go check out the R&D department and see for ourselves?"

The bulletin board was bustling with activity as many people rushed to the R&D department after reading the announcement to find out the actual situation.

At the same time, news of this publicity mission was spreading to places outside Yangshan.

Many refugees who had traveled long distances to Yangshan seeking asylum were immediately excited upon hearing the news.

Compared to other rewards, the allure of the residence permit is the greatest for them!

They had already heard of the Mirage Serpent Space; it was an independent, floating island-like space.

Not only were they free from the troubles of floods and blizzards, but the powerful mutated beasts over there had also long been brought under control.

The entire Mirage Serpent Space has now become Yangshan's backyard.

Everyone knows that this place is now a haven from the flood, and living there can completely escape the current miserable situation.

As a result, more and more people flocked to Yangshan, wanting to sign up as test pilots.

Hundreds of tents were pitched on the ice about one kilometer from Yangshan.

Xu Huang dragged his tired body back from outside.

Before he even entered his house, he saw several old men in tattered clothes gathered outside his tent.

The sound of my younger sister screaming came from inside the tent.

"Go away, go away!"

"Those are our fish! My brother worked so hard to catch them, sob sob sob, get out of here!"

Xu Huang's eyes instantly turned red, and he gripped the bone knife tightly in his hand, roaring, "Get out of here, all of you!"

puff!

He suddenly flashed and rushed behind an old man, slashing down with his bone knife.

In an instant, the old man's neck was torn open, and he let out a scream.

The old men nearby were startled and quickly scattered.

Someone screamed in terror: "Murder! Murder!"

"Xu Huang, you're finished, you're finished! The Yangshan patrol team said long ago that we can gather here, but anyone who dares to kill or disrupt the order of Yangshan will be expelled!"

"Help! Murder!"

The old men were shouting and yelling, but Xu Huang didn't care anymore. With red eyes, he chased after them like a madman, wielding a bone knife.

The old men were so frightened that they ran away immediately.

Xu Huang chased after her for dozens of meters, but finally stopped when his sister called from inside the tent.

"Brother! Brother! Come back, come back quickly, Mom wants you to come back."

Xu Huang gripped the bone knife tightly in his hand and roared angrily at the fleeing figures.

Then he turned back to look at the tent.

But then they saw the younger sister standing prettily at the tent entrance, surrounded by onlookers, but no one offered to help.

A few people were actually trying to snatch the mutated fish that he had just spilled on the ground.

He flew into a rage and charged forward, raising his knife and roaring, "Put it down!" A crimson flame instantly ignited on his bone knife!
Whoops!

As he slashed down, flames erupted, creating a massive flaming blade nearly three meters long!
Such a powerful flaming sword technique immediately frightened those people, who hurriedly retreated and staggered to dodge.

Panting heavily, Xu Huang rushed forward and snatched back his mutated fish.

He glared angrily at these people, his eyes wide with fury.

Upon seeing this, all of them chose to take a few steps back.

"Heh, a fire-attribute ability user without genetic traits will never be able to break through in this lifetime."

"This kid's eyes look like he wants to eat people alive."

"What's so arrogant about a fire-attribute ability user?"

Amidst a chorus of cold laughter and mockery from those around him, Xu Huang's eyes were filled with rage.

He is a fire-attribute ability user, but because he lacks a gene seed, he has been unable to advance to the gene seed realm and has been stuck at 50 points.

In fact, 50 points in the main attribute wasn't considered weak in the past.

Unfortunately, it has been almost two years since the Great Flood, and there are quite a few people with 50 points in their main attribute.

The truly weak people are all dead.

Ordinary people have become rare animals; it's very difficult to see them anymore.

Xu Huang came from the south, along with his parents and sister, as they searched for food and shelter along the way.

During this period, they encountered many crises.

My father was also seriously injured in a mutated beast attack not long ago and eventually collapsed on the road.

The mother also suffered a mental breakdown, spending more time in a coma than awake each day.

Although the younger sister is a healing-type ability user, she can only barely stabilize her mother's injuries.

He inquired along the way and learned that there was a large shelter in Yangshan, so he came here specifically to find a way to save his mother.

He didn't expect there to be so many people in Yangshan. He would need enough points to enter Yangshan for help.

So his family settled down near Yangshan, and he accumulated points by fishing at the fish farm.

However, despite the presence of patrol teams from Yangshan maintaining order in the vicinity, some acts of robbery and plunder still occur.

As long as no one dies, the Yangshan patrol team will not interfere with the lives of the refugees on the outer ice surface.

Therefore, the refugees stationed on the ice outside Yangshan were not having an easy time.

They are not actually people of the Yangshan Shelter in the true sense, so they are not protected by the Yangshan Shelter.

To join Yangshan and become a member of the Yangshan Refuge, they need to make sufficient contributions.

This is also one of Yangshan's policies.

Otherwise, it would be too unfair to those who joined Yangshan earlier if these people were allowed to join so easily.

These people need to accumulate points to join Yangshan. Only when they have enough points to buy property in Yangshan can they become residents of Yangshan.

Xu Huang gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, a sense of powerlessness welling up inside him.

He catches fish every day and exchanges them for food in Yangshan, but he can't accumulate many points at all.

Buying property in Yangshan so that my sister and mother could live there seems to be a long way off.

This isn't the first time something like this has happened.

He came back early this time, otherwise he didn't know what would have happened at home.

"Brother! Brother! Come back quickly!"

Hearing his sister's call, Xu Huang took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, picked up the fish on the ground, and turned back into the tent.

Inside the tent was a sturdy little bed, on which lay a middle-aged woman.

The woman looked tired and listless. Looking at Xu Huang and Xu Lei, she murmured, "Children, I'm useless. I've dragged you down."

Xu Huang immediately shook his head, his eyes slightly red, and said, "Mom, don't say that. There is a way. I have already inquired and found out that Yangshan has a spirit recovery drug. As long as you can take this drug, you will definitely recover."

The woman shook her head slightly: "It's too expensive, child. You must use the points you've saved to live in the shelter so that you and your sister can survive better."

"Your sister is a healing-type ability user. She can only exert her abilities within a stable and orderly power."

"Your special ability lacks a genetic component, making it difficult to further improve. Don't waste any more points on your mother."

Xu Huang shook his head, and Xu Lei, who was standing next to him, cried and said, "Mom, no, we can earn points now too. I can earn points by treating those superhumans."

"Mom, don't worry, I'll take care of everything," Xu Huang said.

The woman opened her mouth, but suddenly a wave of drowsiness washed over her. With her mental energy waning, she couldn't help but close her eyes and fall into a deep sleep.

Xu Huang called out several times, and finally sighed.

He took a deep breath and said, "Little sister, I'll go sell these fish, and keep one for us to cook and eat."

Xu Lei agreed while crying.

Xu Huang then carried a basket of mutated fish and headed towards Yangshan.

Not long after we walked, we heard people talking about the R&D department's tasks.

He didn't pay much attention at first, but when he heard someone mention the mission reward, he was surprised to learn that it included a residence permit!
He stopped abruptly and immediately looked at the group of people.

"What are you talking about? What mission? The mission reward includes a residence permit?"

He hurried over and asked what was wrong.

The people who were chatting didn't keep him at arm's length when they saw him.

One of them exclaimed excitedly, "Young man, don't you know? This morning, news came from Yangshan that the Yangshan R&D department has issued a mission to find test pilots. The reward this time is incredibly generous."

"Not only were they given a residence permit, but also a customized genetically modified seed, 30,000 points, and various supplies."

"Now, many people are going crazy, all heading to the Yangshan R&D department for interviews and job applications."

Upon hearing this, Xu Huang's eyes widened in surprise.

Residence permit, customized genetically modified organisms—these are all things he desperately needs!
He quickly asked, "Where is the mission? Where did you see it? Is the information accurate?"

"Hey, it's hanging over there at the floating bridge port. There are notices at each fishing ground; you'll know when you go there..."

Without saying a word, Xu Huang immediately ran towards the fishing grounds.
