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

Chapter 731 Zhang Yujiang's Scheme
Liang Yuan became interested and looked at Zhang Yujiang.

"You speak with such certainty, it piques my curiosity. What else in your military could possibly appeal to me?"

Zhang Yujiang said in a deep voice, "The core of Cloud Mist Island!"

Liang Yuan immediately raised an eyebrow and glanced sideways.

Zhang Yujiang actually wants to trade the core of Cloud Mist Island for a method to improve gene recombination.
It's important to understand that the military's only territory right now is this floating island, Cloud Mist Island.

If the core is put up for trade, it's tantamount to handing over the survival of the entire dovish military!
As soon as Zhang Yujiang spoke, Feng Jiangong's expression immediately changed.

Feng Jiangong immediately said, "No way! If there's going to be a trade, it has to be in exchange for the brain cores here!"

Liang Yuan raised an eyebrow, suddenly realizing something.

It turns out that on Cloud Mist Island, there was a heart core and a brain core, which were in the hands of the two of them respectively.

No wonder they've always been so close, controlling the entire floating island.

Zhang Yujiang shook his head slightly and said in a deep voice, "You have already sacrificed too much for our military family!"

"Jiangong, you can keep the brain core."

"Old Zhang!" Feng Jiangong was about to say something more, but Zhang Yujiang stopped him.

He smiled and said, "No need to say anything more. Even if you were willing to trade your brain core, I'm afraid Mr. Liang might not be willing."

As he spoke, he looked at Liang Yuan.

After thinking for a moment, Liang Yuan realized that, compared to the heart core, he did indeed prefer the heart core.

The core can control the mountains and terrain of the floating island, all the topography, and even the direction of the island's flow.

The brain nucleus can sense the location information of all living things on the island, as well as any abnormal situations on the island.

However, Liang Yuan did not need to know the information about the people on the island. He had no energy to deal with such a painstaking task of managing the lives on the island.

On the contrary, directly controlling the terrain and resources of the floating island is what is truly important.

To put it bluntly, if he ever gets upset, he could control his core and turn the entire floating island upside down, instantly annihilating all life on it.

Therefore, in terms of importance, the cardiac nucleus definitely plays a greater role than the brain nucleus.

Liang Yuan just didn't expect Zhang Yujiang to be so ruthless as to pay such a high price to make a deal with him.

Does he really want to accelerate the gene recombination process?
"Mr. Liang, what do you think of this deal?"

Liang Yuan thought for a moment, then sat back down.

"You win. This deal really impressed me."

"But have you thought this through? If you trade the core of Cloud Mist Island to me, the entire territory of Cloud Mist Island will be mine from now on."

Zhang Yujiang nodded and said, "Of course, I've thought that through, but I have a few conditions to add to this deal."

Liang Yuan raised an eyebrow: "What are the conditions?"

"I'll trade you the core, and in return, you must provide me with a method to break through genetic recombination."

"Secondly, you can't drive away the people on Cloud Mist Island; they can still live here."

"Finally, regarding the military's personnel strength and weaponry, I cannot give them to you; these remain our military's property."

"All military personnel will remain under our control."

Upon hearing this, Liang Yuan couldn't help but laugh in anger: "So you mean I only got ownership of an island, but the right to use it is still in your hands?"

"Then what use would I have for this island?"

Zhang Yujiang shook his head and said, "Mr. Liang, the most difficult part of cooperation is the initial stage."

"Once you gain ownership, I think you'll gradually gain the military's submission."

"But before that, I need to secure better terms for my old subordinates."

Liang Yuan sneered, "You make it sound nice, but by doing this, you're essentially putting this island under my name in name only."

"In that case, Mengya Company will not only be targeting you, but the entire Yangshan."

Zhang Yujiang shook his head slightly and said, "Mr. Liang, I don't need to explain the principle of 'if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold,' you should understand it yourself."

"Even if Sprout Company isn't targeting Yangshan right now, after they wipe out our military and occupy Cloud Mist Island, do you think they'll just ignore the fact that Yangshan is such a large territory nearby?"

"Your Yangshan will have to face Mengya Company sooner or later. Sooner or later, it makes no difference. If we cooperate, we will both benefit; if we separate, we will both suffer."

"This is also the main reason why I am willing to offer my core in this transaction."

Zhang Yujiang smiled. With this arrangement, he wouldn't have suffered a huge loss in this transaction.

Not only can they obtain Liang Yuan's gene recombination enhancement method, but they can also transfer the danger brought by Mengya Company and bind Yangshan to their side.

The price he paid was merely the core of Cloud Mist Island.

Liang Yuan's face darkened with anger, and he said coldly, "You've got a good plan!"

"You want me to provide a method for gene recombination in exchange for just one core, and you also want me to take on the dangers from Sprout Company?"

"How stupid do you think I am to agree to something like this?"

He stood up angrily and turned to leave.

This posture made Zhang Yujiang frown.

Liang Yuan strode away, silently counting in his mind, one, two, three...

Before he could take his fifth step, Zhang Yujiang called out to him.

"and many more!"

Liang Yuan paused, a barely perceptible smile curving his face as he turned away from Zhang Yujiang. He said calmly, "Do you have anything else to say?"

Zhang Yujiang sighed, "Mr. Liang, if you disagree with this plan, then please state your demands, shall we?"

Liang Yuan then turned around, looked at Zhang Yujiang, and said calmly, "You want me to help you deal with Sprout Company? That's simple. After the core is under my control, the military's control will also be under my control. I will intervene in all personnel appointments and personnel relations and reorganize them!"

“You can keep a small team, no more than two hundred people.”

"In addition, all classified documents from the military must be made available to me unconditionally, and all research results must be shared with my Yangshan R&D Department unconditionally."

Liang Yuan did not hesitate to state his conditions.

However, the moment these conditions were stated, Zhang Yujiang and Feng Jiangong's expressions turned ugly.

"impossible!"

Feng Jiangong refused without hesitation, saying, "If that's the case, is it still a transaction? Wouldn't it be equivalent to our military directly surrendering to your Yangshan?"

Liang Yuan said calmly, "I can also choose not to cooperate with you. I can wait until you've been crippled by Mengya Company and most of your people are dead before I make my move and easily subdue Yunwu Island."

Zhang Yujiang immediately said in a gloomy tone, "If we die, you won't be able to get the heart core and brain core of Cloud Mist Island."

Liang Yuan said calmly, "It doesn't matter. The core and brain core only control the flow and terrain of the floating islands. I now have five floating islands, which is enough territory for me."

"Five seats?" Zhang Yujiang was taken aback, not understanding.

Feng Jiangong was also puzzled: "Miyuan Rainforest, Yellow Earth Plain, Mirage Serpent Space, and Dark Abyss Mouth, aren't there only four floating islands?"

Liang Yuan said calmly, "It seems your information is really outdated. Your intelligence work is not good. I have already taken over the floating island of Misty City."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the two military leaders changed again.

Only now did they truly realize that the man surnamed Liang really didn't care about a mere Cloud Mist Island!
Feng Jiangong couldn't help but ask, "Even so, aren't you afraid that Mengya Company will take action against Yangshan?"

"You should already know how powerful Sprout Company is, right?"

"Zhao Kai and Li Qinghua witnessed firsthand just how powerful the Sprout Company's spaceship attack was; they should have already told you, right?"

"These are only twenty spaceships from Sprout Company. When they come again next time, there will be more than just twenty!"

"If we can't stop them, do you think Yangshan can?"

"You're a smart person, you must understand that if we're eliminated, Sprout Corporation will let you go, right?"

Liang Yuan looked up and met Feng Jiangong's gaze, then suddenly smiled: "How do you know that Yangshan can't stop this fledgling company?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Jiangong and Zhang Yujiang were both stunned.

They naturally assumed that even the military, with its strength, couldn't deal with Sprout Company.

So how could Yangshan, a company with a background in grassroots forces, possibly deal with Mengya Company?

However, Liang Yuan's words at that moment suddenly made them realize something.

Yangshan is no longer the Yangshan they once knew!

Yangshan has even produced its own spaceship!

Could Yangshan really stand up to Mengya Company?
If they have that kind of power, then isn't the military sitting on a volcano forever?
Yangshan could annex them at any time!
Liang Yuan looked at the two of them with a half-smile on his face.

Clearly, he could see what the two were thinking.

"Gentlemen, times have changed. You should know that even without Sprout Company, I would never allow an uncontrolled force to grow and expand right under my nose."

"To be honest, I was quite surprised, but also quite pleased, that you would propose trading the Cloud Mist Island Core with me today, Commander Zhang."

"At least I don't have to resort to overly radical means to get Cloud Mist Island."

"Now I'm giving you two choices: join Yangshan and we'll work together to deal with Mengya Company."

"If the conditions are as I say, at least your people will still have their freedom, and the two of you will still be alive. You might even be able to control the brain core of Cloud Mist Island and have a portion of the island's authority."

"Either you wait for the second attack from Sprout Company, and after you are defeated by Sprout Company, I will clean up the mess."

"But by then, you won't have the right to negotiate with me."

After saying this, Liang Yuan said no more, sat down at the table, picked up his teacup, and calmly drank his tea.

Feng Jiangong and Zhang Yujiang exchanged a glance, both of them looking rather grim.

Liang Yuan's conditions have completely crossed the line they could accept.

Zhang Yujiang frowned, unable to accept this outcome.

Feng Jiangong looked at Liang Yuan, his eyes gleaming.

Finally, Feng Jiangong spoke up.

“Liang Yuan, you want Cloud Mist Island, you want to bring the military under your control. I can agree to your previous requests, but I also have my own requests.”

"A great achievement!"

Zhang Yujiang quickly spoke up, trying to persuade him to calm down.

They hadn't even discussed it before Feng Jiangong agreed too quickly.

Feng Jiangong simply waved his hand and said, "I only represent myself, not you, Commander. Please listen to my request before making a decision."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yujiang didn't say anything more, only saying, "Alright, go ahead."

Liang Yuan also looked at Feng Jiangong and asked, "What are your requirements?"

"I want you to fight me, and defeat me fair and square!"
