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

Chapter 701 Xu Huang Accepts the Mission
"Let's let one let, let one let!"

Xu Huang rushed to the fishing grounds, squeezed into the crowd, and sure enough, he saw that the task announcement board had changed for today.

Previously, the tasks were all about collecting fish; now, the first task in front of us is the R&D department's task of recruiting test pilots!
His first glance was at the mission rewards!
Three residence permits! There are actually three of them!

He got excited the moment he saw the first reward item.

You should know that a residence permit allows you to own a house in Yangshan.

A house doesn't mean that only one person can live in it; rather, a whole family can live in it.

These three residence permits mean that I can bring three families to live in Yangshan.

Oh, no!

He suddenly noticed that the residence permit clearly stated "Mirage Serpent Space Residence Permit"!
His heart started pounding instantly!
If you can buy a residence permit in Yangshan with points, then you can't buy a residence permit for Mirage Serpent Space even if you have points.

Everyone knows that Yangshan's Mirage Space Refuge is the best refuge in the entire Linjiang area.

There was no torrential rain or blizzard there, and most of the pre-apocalyptic buildings were preserved and not completely submerged by the flood.

I heard that the earliest people from Yangshan have long since moved to the Mirage Serpent Space to enjoy life.

If Mom and my sister could move to the Mirage Serpent Space, then we probably wouldn't have to worry about their safety anymore!
Xu Huang was thrilled, and when he looked at the other rewards, his eyes widened in surprise.

As expected, there are custom gene-based species, and a reward of 30,000 points!

There will also be a large amount of material rewards later on.

He took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart.

"With such a generous reward, this mission must be extraordinary."

He quickly looked at the task requirements.

There were even educational requirements; this was something he never expected!

"High school diploma?"

He thought about it for a moment and suddenly realized that the test pilots might need to undergo certain training to learn how to use the spacecraft.

Therefore, the operations on this spaceship must also involve a certain level of technical sophistication.

Thinking about this, he suddenly understood the requirement.

"I meet this condition!"

He quickly asked around how to accept the task.

People nearby told him he needed to go for an interview at the R&D department.

Without saying a word, he sold the mutated fish and immediately rushed to the research and development department in Yangshan.

Previously, people like them were prohibited from entering the mountain at will, but when he said that he was there to interview for a test flight mission, the guards on the mountain actually did not stop him.

Not only did they not stop him, they also sent someone to take him to the R&D department for an interview.

Upon arriving at the R&D department, Xu Huang saw a large group of people gathered there, waiting for interviews.

After a moment, a young man dressed in research department uniform came out and began to introduce the location of the test flight mission and the potential risks to everyone.

"Everyone, you should have all seen the test flight mission, but I still need to explain the specific test flight location and difficulty level to you in detail."

"This test flight mission is related to a new invention in Yangshan."

"The photos you are seeing now are of our latest spacecraft developed in Yangshan."

"And the aircraft you are going to test fly is this very spaceship."

"I need to tell you all seriously that the destination of our spaceship's test flight this time is the endless thunderclouds outside!"

"We in Yangshan are committed to investigating the reasons behind this rainstorm and figuring out what exactly happened in the sky."

"Only by understanding all of this can we truly solve the flood problem."

"Ladies and gentlemen, our mission concerns the future of humanity and the very survival of humankind."

……

What followed was a bunch of valuable stuff, but nobody really paid attention to it.

Many people were apprehensive when they heard that this test flight mission would involve exploring above the thunderclouds.

Everyone knows that the thunderclouds haven't dissipated for over two years.

Thunderstorms occur every day; even before the end of the world, all flights would have to be grounded during thunderstorms.

Now that the apocalypse has passed, technology has plummeted, so who would dare take that risk?
"No wonder the rewards for this mission are so generous; it's practically suicide."

"Damn, I knew there was no way such a good thing could happen. Sigh, there really is danger."

"What should we do? This reward is really generous!"

"Even the most generous reward is only worthwhile if you're alive to enjoy it."

"This spaceship looks so small. If it goes into the thunderclouds, it will probably be blown up immediately. Forget it, this mission is not something a human can do."

Various voices of discussion could be heard from the crowd.

Many people backed out on the spot.

Some impatient researchers interrupted the researchers who were speaking eloquently on stage, shouting, "I have something to do at home, so I have to give up this mission. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."

With that, he quickly turned and left.

Everyone glanced at him discreetly, then at the patrol teams around them.

Seeing that none of the patrol teams stopped him, everyone was pleasantly surprised.

Immediately, more people claimed to be feeling unwell or had other urgent matters to attend to and requested to leave.

The R&D department staff did not stop them and simply let them leave.

Xu Huang's expression shifted among the crowd; he clearly understood the danger of this mission.

But... others can back out, but can he?
If I give up this opportunity, when will I be able to accumulate enough points?
I can wait, but what about my mother?

My mother's injuries absolutely cannot be delayed any longer.

Thinking of the harsh conditions on the ice, he took a deep breath. He absolutely could not live there any longer. He had to find a way to get his sister and mother to live in Yangshan, in that mirage space where there were no floods.

With that thought in mind, he looked up at the R&D staff above him, raised his hand, and said, "I have a question."

The R&D staff looked up at Xu Huang and asked with a smile, "What's the matter, sir?"

"I'd like to know, are these task rewards distributed before or after the task is completed?"

The R&D staff smiled and said, "As long as you pass our assessment, you can receive these task rewards."

"What if the test flight fails? Will these rewards be taken back?" Xu Huang quickly asked again.

Among the remaining people, many also looked up, showing great concern for this issue.

Clearly, not everyone was intimidated by this task.

Many people even looked resolute, as if they had already put life and death aside.

There are many things in this world that are more terrifying than death.

Witnessing a loved one seriously ill, yet being unable to afford treatment.

Seeing his enemy free and unharmed, he was powerless to avenge his family.

In short, there are many reasons why some people might risk their lives to carry out such a mission.

Especially in the face of the apocalypse, there will be no fewer or fewer people like this.

A staff member from the R&D department said, "Regardless of the test flight results, the reward will be issued as scheduled."

"Of course, if during the test flight phase, you are deliberately negligent or derelict in your duties due to personal reasons, then there will be corresponding penalties."

"We need people who give their all, not people who come here just to collect rewards. I hope you all think this through."

Xu Huang pursed his lips, finally made up his mind, and looked up, saying, "I want to sign up!"

……

"Mr. Liang?"

At the Chief's Mansion, Liang Yuan was reviewing reports sent by various departments in Yangshan.

Just then, Zhuang Shuyuan, dressed in a wine-red cheongsam, stood gracefully at the door and gently knocked.

Liang Yuan looked up and saw her, raising an eyebrow slightly. He said, "Why did you come here in person to report on your work today?"

Zhuang Shuyuan nodded, her expression solemn, and said, "There is important information that I must send over immediately."

Liang Yuan was surprised; the reason she was so serious must be because it was really important information.

He immediately asked in a deep voice, "What intelligence?"

"The military has also developed a spaceship, and it has successfully broken through the thunderclouds and entered the sky!"

Upon hearing this, Liang Yuan abruptly stood up, a hint of shock in his expression, and immediately asked, "Is the information reliable?"

"It's reliable; it was leaked by a military insider we bribed, and we also have video footage."

"Just recently, the military successfully manufactured the [Guangfu-1] spaceship, which successfully broke through the thunderclouds and entered the Tianyuan.

"However, they were only in the air for probably less than ten minutes before they were destroyed."

"But in those ten minutes, they brought back some shocking news."

Liang Yuan immediately asked, "What news?"

"Human forces have actually built cities on those floating islands!"

"what!"

Liang Yuan was taken aback.

He immediately inquired about the specifics.

"After Guangfu-1 rose above the clouds, it successfully overcame the dangers of thunderstorms in the thunderclouds thanks to the powerful charging system developed by Professor Huang."

"They used the powerful kinetic energy of the thunderstorm's vibrations to power the spacecraft's shields, thus overcoming the thunderstorm problem and breaking out of the thundercloud area to enter the sky above Tianyuan."

"According to the information we received, after they entered the sky, they saw a large number of floating islands floating above the thunderclouds, just like the fairy mountains in ancient mythology."

"In one of the fairy mountains, the spaceship crew saw a city built by humans."

"This city not only broke through the thundercloud's blockade and successfully entered the sky, but also occupied a floating island."

"And you would never guess who is in control of this city!"

Zhuang Shuyuan's expression was solemn when she spoke of this.

Liang Yuan's thoughts raced, and then he suddenly realized something, exclaiming in surprise, "Sprout Company?"

Zhuang Shuyuan was stunned for a moment.

"How did you guess that?"

Liang Yuan shook his head slightly: "It's not hard to guess. Among the forces we've been in contact with, besides the military which has a higher level of technology than us, there's only Sprout Company."

"The technological sophistication of that armored vehicle convoy alone inspired our R&D team to develop spacecraft devices."

"I'm afraid this nascent organization has already developed a spaceship device."

Zhuang Shuyuan suddenly realized, and looked at Liang Yuan with admiration in her beautiful eyes.

She said in a deep voice, "Ever since we killed these members of the Sprout Organization, we have also sent people to the Northern District to investigate this Sprout Organization."

"But we haven't received any news yet, and we don't know what happened or what the situation is."

Liang Yuan shook his head slightly: "The Sprout Organization is too far away from us. If it weren't for the winter ice, even their armored convoy would have a hard time getting to such a far place."

The biggest challenge of long journeys is not how far the journey is, but the problem of having a sense of direction.

In a world flooded with everything submerged, it's difficult to determine your direction without a GPS device.

Wu Yaobang was able to find Linjiang accurately because he had a clone there as a location.

It would be extremely difficult for others to do this.
