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

Chapter 703 Xu Huang's Family

"Fei Kang, Jiang Hui, Wu Zhengyu, Song Fei, Xu Huang."

"Congratulations to the five of you who have passed the assessment."

Upon hearing the name, Xu Huang's eyes widened instantly, and his heart began to pound.

A surge of ecstasy rushed to my head.

He was selected!
Those who were not selected all showed a hint of disappointment on their faces.

Some people couldn't stand it anymore and shouted angrily, "Why? Why wasn't I chosen? I'm a psychic, I can even manipulate instruments with my mind, why was I rejected?"

The R&D department staff glanced at him and said, "Zhou He, your performance in all assessments is quite good, but you lack a certain temperament, and the reasons you gave for participating in this mission during the interview were not sufficient."

"But you guys don't need to be discouraged. If this test flight mission is successful, there will be more test flight missions in the future, and there will always be opportunities for you."

"Those of you who passed the assessment can stay in Yangshan today. The patrol team will pick up your families and settle them on the mountain."

"The mission rewards will be distributed to you in advance. Make arrangements as soon as possible on how you want to use the rewards."

"According to the plan, the test flight mission will officially begin the day after tomorrow. You have one more day to spend with your families."

"Go away."

After their initial excitement, the selected individuals fell into a slight silence.

They only gained a deeper understanding of how dangerous the mission was after completing the training.

Above them, there were not only thunderclouds, but also terrifying monsters from the Heavenly Abyss that would attack them!
Their only goal this time was to break through the clouds and return safely!
It sounds simple, but the whole process is fraught with danger!

Xu Huang pursed his lips and said nothing.

He had already made up his mind that, regardless of whether the mission could be completed, at least his sister and mother could survive in Yangshan.

For him, that was enough.

The patrol team was very efficient; that afternoon, they brought the families of all the test pilots up the mountain.

"Everyone, your families have been accommodated in the Yangshan Complex family housing. Now, we will distribute your mission rewards."

"Xu Huang, here are your three residence permits. As per your request, we have provided you with three gene seeds."

The staff approached Xu Huang and gave him three residence permits.

Then came three gene seedlings.

These three gene seeds were customized according to his requirements.

They are one water-attribute gene, one fire-attribute gene, and one speed-type gene.

The fire attribute was something he kept for himself.

The water attribute is reserved for the younger sister.

The younger sister's water-attribute ability awakened healing skills, not combat skills.

This is rare, because most healing-type superpowers are of the mental or wood element.

I've never heard of anyone with water-attribute abilities awakening healing powers before.

The speed-type gene was what he left to his mother.

His mother is a speed-type ability user, and he plans to help her break through the genetic barrier after healing her mental trauma.

In this way, even if he sacrifices himself in the mission, his mother and sister can at least live well in Yangshan.

"Brother, brother! What happened?"

When Xu Huang returned, Xu Lei excitedly grabbed him and asked what had happened.

"I was just about to cook when a group of people came in. They claimed to be the patrol team from Yangshan and said they wanted to bring us to see you."

"Brother, what's going on?"

Xu Huang smiled as he looked at his anxious and panicked sister.

"Little sister, it's okay. Do you remember what I told you? I will definitely let you and Mom move into the Yangshan shelter."

"Look, what is this!"

As he spoke, he took out three residence permits.

Xu Lei was taken aback, looked at the residence permit, and immediately showed a look of surprise.

"Brother, what... what is this?"

Xu Huang smiled and said, "This is the Yangshan residence permit. With this, you and Mom can move to Yangshan from now on."

"No, not Yangshan, but the Mirage Serpent Space, which is even more comfortable than Yangshan!"

"I heard from people outside that when summer comes, the ice and snow will melt, and the sea level will definitely continue to rise."

"By then, Yangshan might be submerged."

"At that time, floating islands were the only place where we could survive."

"With this residence permit, you and Mom can move into the floating island in the Mirage Serpent Space ahead of schedule."

"There is no snow or torrential rain in there. I heard that it is spring-like all year round, rich in resources, and has preserved a lot of pre-apocalyptic buildings."

"Once we get there, you won't have to worry anymore."

Upon hearing this, Xu Lei's eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at the residence permit in her hand.

"Is...is this real? Brother, is this real?"

"Yes, it really is. It has the official seal of the Yangshan Chief's Office on it, and your and your mother's information has already been filled in," Xu Huang said with a smile.

Xu Lei cheered immediately, but after her joyful shout, she suddenly remembered something.

"Brother, how do you have a residence permit? I've heard people say that these residence permits are very expensive."

Xu Huang paused for a moment, then decided not to tell her.

I went to carry out the mission myself, and I don't even know if I'll be able to come back.

Telling her would only make her and her mother worry about him. He shook his head slightly and said, "Don't ask, I have my own way."

"Oh, right, I also bought a mental energy recovery potion. With this mental energy recovery potion, I can treat Mom's mental trauma."

Xu Lei didn't move, staring intently at her brother Xu Huang; she wasn't stupid.

My brother goes out to catch fish every day, and it's considered good if he can accumulate 500 points a day. After deducting food and drink expenses, they can be considered thrifty if they can save 400 points a day.

Therefore, she was certain that the residence permit could not have been bought by her brother.

Now my brother not only has a residence permit, but he has two, and he even bought my mother's mental energy recovery medicine!

Xu Lei's intuition told her that something was wrong!
"Brother, tell me, what exactly did you do!"

"These things are all things you can't afford right now. What... what have you done?"

Xu Lei excitedly grabbed Xu Huang and kept asking him questions.

Seeing that he couldn't get away with it, Xu Huang could only sigh and truthfully explain his situation.

Upon hearing that Xu Huang had accepted such a dangerous mission, Xu Lei immediately panicked.

Her eyes suddenly reddened, tears welling up in them, and she immediately shoved the residence permit back into Xu Huang's hand.

"Brother, I don't want to stay at Yangshan Shelter anymore. You should withdraw from this mission and tell them that you're not going to participate."

"Brother, I don't want you to go on this mission. I just want you to stay with us, sob sob..."

Xu Huang sighed and said to his sister, "Little sister, you've seen the state of the world. With our strength, nobody knows how long we'll survive out there."

"Now that I finally have this opportunity, I can risk my life for a future, and I can't just give it up like this."

"Even if we don't participate in this mission, we'll still have nowhere to go when the ice and snow melt. We might still die from floods and attacks by mutated beasts."

"If that's the case, wouldn't our deaths be even more worthless?"

"At least now I can give you and Mom a chance to survive, right?"

Xu Lei exclaimed excitedly, "No, that's not how it is. If that's the case, then I should be the one to participate in such a mission."

"You are a fire-attribute ability user with outstanding combat skills. With you here, we can better protect Mom!"

"I should have gone! I should have gone!"

Xu Huang shook his head: "Little sister, there are too many people among the superhumans who are good at fighting. Fighting and killing will ultimately lead to a lower level."

"A healing-type ability user like you is the kind of hot commodity that every power wants."

"Once the various shelters are established in the future, order will gradually stabilize. At that time, it will be the world of people with superpowers like you."

"You are better suited to survive in an orderly environment."

"Say no more. The mission rewards have already been issued, and there's no way I'm quitting."

Xu Huang gently patted his sister's back, softly comforting her.

Xu Lei cried until her mother's voice came from inside the house, at which point she hurriedly stopped crying.

Xu Huang said, "Don't tell Mom yet, okay? If she finds out about this, she probably won't even want to use the psychiatric medication."

With tears welling up in her eyes, Xu Lei could only nod in agreement.

The two went inside and, without telling their mother, used a mental energy recovery potion on her.

As the mental potion continued to be used, the mother's mental trauma was indeed healed, and she would fall back asleep after only half an hour of waking up.

This time, there was no sign of her falling asleep at all!
The whole family was overjoyed, but Xu Huang's mother also sensed something was wrong and quickly asked what was going on.

The brother and sister lied together and kept the matter a secret.

A day passed in the blink of an eye, and the next morning, Xu Huang left a letter and quietly left home.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw my younger sister standing in the doorway with red eyes.

Xu Huang sighed, "Did I wake you up?"

"Brother, can we not go?" Xu Lei cried.

Xu Huang shook his head slightly: "Tell Mom after I leave."

He handed the letter to his sister, then resolutely went out.

Upon arriving at the laboratory, the other test pilots were already in place.

All the heads of the R&D department have arrived.

Important figures such as Li Hanzhong, Ren Jie, Fu Qibo, and Shen Yunxi all arrived.

Xu Huang saw them and realized that they were not immediately announcing the start of the experiment, but were waiting for someone.

He asked in a low voice the question of his companion, Fei Kang, who had arrived before him.

Fei Kang said in a low voice, "I heard they are waiting for Mr. Liang to come."

Xu Huang immediately looked surprised: "Mr. Liang? It's that Mr. Liang?"

"Who else can command such respect from these heads of the R&D department?" Fei Kang asked in a low voice.

Mr. Liang's name is like a religion in the entire Yangshan area.

His deeds are known to everyone.

The propaganda department staff spend their days publicizing Mr. Liang's glorious deeds of leading them out of the building and personally establishing the Yangshan Refuge.

Therefore, even though Xu Huang and the others were not from the Yangshan Refuge, they had heard of this name before.

Just as everyone was eagerly anticipating what was to come, several figures walked in from outside.

The leaders of the R&D department then stood up to express their welcome.

Xu Huang looked over and saw that the leader was tall, with a calm expression and extraordinary martial prowess.

He couldn't help but think to himself, "Is this Mr. Liang?"
