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

Chapter 736 Abyss Island near the Military
"Brother Liang, you're back?"

In the Mi Yuan rainforest, Zhao Kai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Liang Yuan return safely.

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "The military couldn't stop me, so I went back to Tsinghua?"

"Yes, as you instructed, he went to send this batch of Sprout Company's spaceships back to Yangshan and give them to the R&D department to take a look at."

"Why did the military invite you over?" Zhao Kai asked curiously.

Liang Yuan said, "They want to form an alliance with us."

"Alliance cooperation? Weren't we already in an alliance before?"

Liang Yuan sneered: "This time is different. They have encountered an enemy like Mengya Company, which they can no longer stop, so they hope to get our help."

Zhao Kai frowned immediately: "Brother Liang, we can't agree to this so easily."

Liang Yuan shook his head: "I know, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

He briefly recounted what had happened on Cloud Mist Island.

Upon hearing that Feng Jiangong might join Yangshan, Zhao Kai's eyes lit up.

"Feng Jiangong is quite capable in combat. If he could join our Yangshan, we would have another expert. Moreover, with his abilities, he could definitely be a leader in the region."

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "He is indeed a talented person, but there are quite a few experts in Yangshan now, and you have all grown up. There is no need to underestimate yourselves."

"Let's not talk about this anymore. If he comes looking for me later, please help me receive him."

"Huh? Me? And you?"

"I have something to do and need to go to Abyss Island. By the way, do you know where the Abyss Island that the military discovered is?"

"I know that. It's nearby, not too far. Brother Liang, there are genetically modified mutant beasts on Abyss Island. What are you going there for?"

"Capture two genetically modified mutant beasts for experiments."

Zhao Kai was stunned, then didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

These superhumans who have just broken through the genetic recombination barrier have to be extremely careful when facing mutated beasts of the genetic recombination level.

On the other hand, Liang Yuan's side has already started capturing genetically recombinant mutant beasts for experiments.

I really don't know just how powerful Brother Liang is.

Zhao Kai sighed inwardly.

So he immediately pointed out the direction to Liang Yuan, and originally intended to send someone to take Liang Yuan there.

However, Liang Yuan refused, saying that capturing genetically modified mutant beasts was quite dangerous and he didn't want to bring anyone along.

So Liang Yuan quickly rushed to the vicinity of Abyss Island.

From a distance, several military vessels could be seen anchored on the water near Abyss Island.

Liang Yuan then remembered that the underwater tomb discovered by the military seemed to be near this abyss.

Thinking back to the abyss island where he first discovered Jinpeng, Liang Yuan looked thoughtful.

"So, the spiritual fragment of that ancient superhuman hidden in the Guangfu area might very well have originated from an ancient tomb near Abyss Island?"

Liang Yuan suddenly had a thought. He realized that the hiding places of the ancient superhumans seemed to be related to Abyss Island.

Thinking of this, Liang Yuan immediately flashed into the Sumeru Space.

Inside the Sumeru Space, Jinpeng's remains still lay on the ground, and Liang Yuan immediately summoned his spiritual body.

"Owner!"

After Jin Peng crawled out of the skeleton, he immediately greeted Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan nodded slightly, glanced at the skeletons on the ground, and saw that the skeletons soaking in the blood pool had already grown a lot of flesh and blood.

It seems that it won't be long before Jinpeng regains his physical body.

Liang Yuan asked, "How long will it take to recover?"

"If there's enough blood, he should recover in the next couple of days."

Liang Yuan asked, "After you recover, what level of strength will you reach?"

"With about 20% genetic recombination, my spiritual essence is too weak to return to its peak."

"Can you sense your mental fragments?"

"Yes, but it's a bit far."

Liang Yuan asked, "I have something to ask you. Why are the places you build to hide your corpses all near Abyss Island?"

Jin Peng paused for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Mr. Liang, it's not that we chose to hide our bodies on Abyss Island, but rather that we all subconsciously left our bodies in places we thought were safe back then."

"In ancient times, most people with superpowers would capture powerful mutated beasts, tame them, and make them their mounts."

"These mutated beasts have long lifespans and often live longer than us superhumans, some even living for hundreds of years."

“We would subconsciously hide our own bodies inside these mutated beasts.”

"As for how these mutated beasts turned into floating islands and abyssal islands thousands of years later, I have no idea."

Upon hearing this, Liang Yuan was slightly taken aback and asked, "You mean, these floating islands were once your pet beasts?"

"Yes, the abyss island you found me on was once my pet hound, King Kong."

"I realized this as soon as I woke up, but I don't understand why my King Kong Dog, which was a very strong alien beast in the genetic recombination level, turned into Abyss Island."

Liang Yuan frowned and said, "What exactly did these giant beasts go through? Why are they almost entirely reduced to legends in history, with no real descendants left behind?"

"Even if no descendants were left, where did their bodies go?"

"The key question is, after the great flood, why did they all suddenly reappear?"

Liang Yuan frowned, unable to understand this.

Jin Peng shook his head and said, "You're asking me this? I don't know either. When I chose to reincarnate, there were still many people with superpowers and mutated beasts in the world."

“And for us, once we choose to reincarnate, our consciousness will inevitably fall into a deep sleep.”

"I only woke up recently, and when I woke up, it was already the end of the world due to the flood."

Liang Yuan frowned, completely baffled.

It seems that some secrets are hidden in ancient times. What secrets lie behind the flood disaster?
Unable to figure it out, Liang Yuan simply decided to stop thinking about it for the time being.

He left the Sumeru space and then silently submerged into the water, avoiding the eyes and ears of the military ships, and arrived at the underwater abyss island.

This abyss island is quite large, though it is slightly smaller than the Vajra Dog Abyss Island where the Golden Roc's remains are located.

However, this abyss island is teeming with all kinds of mutated beasts, many of which are powerful and have a terrifying aura.

Liang Yuan even sensed that several mutated beasts were putting a lot of pressure on him.

"I've already reached 30% of the gene recombination progress, so if a mutant beast can still put so much pressure on me, doesn't that mean its gene recombination progress is even higher than mine?"

Liang Yuan was secretly surprised, as he was already quite fast in cultivating his supernatural abilities.

How exactly do these underwater mutant beasts cultivate?
Did they just randomly combine genes?
Liang Yuan couldn't understand it, but he didn't forget the purpose of his trip.

After circling around the abyss island, Liang Yuan quickly found a genetically recombinant mutant fish.

This mutated fish is over 20 meters long, and its genetic recombination is estimated to be over 20%.

Of course, this is just speculation, since the size of a mutated beast is not necessarily directly related to the progress of gene recombination.

For example, blue whales are huge, with their normal form measuring tens of meters long. Once their genes mutate, who knows how terrifying they will become.

Therefore, Liang Yuan's judgment criteria are not only based on the size of the target, but also on his own perception.

He naturally felt pressure when facing mutated beasts stronger than himself.

However, the mutated fish covered in red scales in front of him did not give him that sense of threat.

That's why Liang Yuan made this speculation.

brush!
Liang Yuan flashed and instantly appeared beside the mutated fish.

"Buzz!"

The mutated fish was extremely sensitive and sensed the danger instantly.

Before Liang Yuan could make a move, it suddenly flicked its tail, and its massive body shot out like a dragon.

Not only that, its red scales also instantly emitted a fiery red defensive light.

Liang Yuan was taken aback, but his reaction was also extremely quick.

He suddenly pushed the water ripples forward with both hands.

In an instant, the waves suddenly split open, revealing a huge spatial portal.

Blah blah blah!

A large amount of floodwater rushed into the portal, and the mutated fish, unable to react in time, was immediately sucked into the portal.

Liang Yuan immediately closed the Sumeru Space, a smile appearing on his lips.

"The Sumeru Space is really useful in this situation."

Liang Yuan smiled, his figure flashed, and he entered the Sumeru Space. After forcibly enslaving the mutated fish, he came out again to continue looking for mutated beasts.

So for the rest of the day, Liang Yuan spent hunting these mutated beasts near this abyss island.

In total, four were hunted, and the genetic recombination progress of each mutated beast was over 20%.

To test the extent to which thunderclouds could damage different supernatural abilities, Liang Yuan specifically selected mutated beasts with different attributes.

These four mutated beasts are of four types: mental, physical, earth element, and metal element.

Besides the mutated fish with fiery red scales, the four mutated beasts included a yellowish-brown mutated crab, a golden mutated seahorse, and a giant pink mutated salamander.

The red-scaled mutant fish is of the physical type, the crab is of the earth element, the seahorse is of the metal element, and the salamander is of the mental element.

"It's a pity we only found these four. It would be great if we could find some more with the lightning attribute."

"Logically speaking, mutated beasts with the lightning attribute should have a relatively high resistance to lightning."

Liang Yuan shook his head slightly, then turned his gaze to the abyss island.

"Now that we're done with our work, let's see what this Abyss Island is all about."

brush!
Liang Yuan flashed and swiftly entered the Abyss Island.

They found a cave that resembled a mountain cave and went inside.

It descended through the earth, but when it reached the fleshy layer, it could no longer sink.

He wasn't in a hurry. He took out the protein corrosion liquid he had prepared beforehand and began to continuously corrode the flesh layer of the Abyss Island.

Before long, the flesh was corroded, creating a very deep hole.

Liang Yuan immediately went inside and entered the inner space of this abyss island.

It was completely empty and pitch black all around.

In Liang Yuan's spiritual perception, he discovered many giant organs in the distance, which had already shown signs of petrification.

"We've entered the interior of the Abyss Islands. The conditions inside these Abyss Islands are much worse than those on the Floating Islands."

Looking at the petrified organs, Liang Yuan understood that it was because of their continuous petrification that the weight of the entire Abyss Island increased, causing it to lose buoyancy and slowly sink, thus forming the Abyss Island.

Liang Yuan used his telekinetic powers to fly, rapidly exploring the space.

Before long, they found the location of its heart.

Liang Yuan immediately flew over, and the protein corrosion liquid was used again to begin melting these heart barriers.

Before long, a passage was opened.

Before he could even go inside, he heard the loud digging sounds and even heard people urging and shouting.

A thought struck Liang Yuan, and he quickly concealed himself, entering shadow form.

They then crept inside and, after a short while, saw the situation inside the atrium ahead.

All that could be seen was a group of soldiers in camouflage uniforms supervising a group of ragged superhumans as they continuously mined large areas of blue blood crystal ore!
The blood crystals that are dug out will be sent to a pile of blood crystal stones in the distance.

Meanwhile, at the pile of blood crystals, soldiers in camouflage uniforms were loading the stones into spatial equipment and then quickly transporting them out along a bloodline path.

Witnessing this scene, Liang Yuan understood: "The military has found the location of the heart of this abyss island, and these people are already mining blood crystals."
