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

Chapter 737 The Military's Underwater Base

Liang Yuan's heart stirred slightly. He suddenly thought that Zhang Yujiang was so willing to hand over the core. He was willing to give up control of Cloud Mist Island, but how could he be willing to give up the blood crystals stored inside Cloud Mist Island?

"Since they were able to obtain the heart core and brain core, they must have known about the existence of the blood crystal long ago."

"Could it be that the blood crystals on Cloud Mist Island have already been completely mined out?"

Liang Yuan suddenly realized this, and his expression darkened slightly. If that were the case, Zhang Yujiang might just abandon the core of Cloud Mist Island.

Without the Blood Crystal, Cloud Mist Island is a floating island.

He relinquished control of the island, but still maintained control of the army and a large amount of blood crystal resources, which was no different from controlling Cloud Mist Island.

"I just don't know if Feng Jiangong knows about this."

Liang Yuan's eyes flickered slightly. He looked at the pile of blood crystals that had become a small mountain. As he watched people continuously loading the blood crystals into their spatial equipment and transporting them out, Liang Yuan immediately had an idea.

He unleashed his mental power, urging it to surge forth!
Brush brush!
The torches around were extinguished instantly, and then a large area of ​​dark energy swept in, enveloping the entire heart chamber.

Suddenly, darkness enveloped the surroundings, and everyone cried out in panic.

"What's going on? Where are the lights? Where are the torches?"

Who put out the torch?

"Don't move! Anyone who dares to run away will be killed on sight!"

In the chaos, they heard someone fire a shot.

Amidst the bursts of fire, no one noticed that the massive mountain of blood crystals had vanished.

After Liang Yuan put all these things into his spatial storage, he quietly left his heart chamber and followed the direction of the soldiers who had escorted the Blood Crystal away.

As Liang Yuan departs, the dark energy here will linger for a moment before dissipating.

However, for a short period of time, the people here will remain in darkness until the dark energy completely dissipates.

Liang Yuan took out a blood crystal and played with it in his hand for a moment.

The cyan blood crystal was filled with a large amount of wood-attribute energy, which stirred something in Liang Yuan's heart.

"It's a wood-attribute blood crystal. Was this abyss island once inhabited by some kind of wood-attribute mutated beast?"

"Wait, I remember Zhang Yujiang is a wood-attribute ability user!"

Liang Yuan suddenly remembered that Zhang Yujiang had demonstrated his special ability several times, which was a wood-attribute ability.

He sneered inwardly, already guessing that the person in charge of the team mining blood crystals on Abyss Island was probably Zhang Yujiang.

He remained silent and followed the team along the path of bloodline, heading outwards.

After walking for a short while, a huge lake appeared ahead.

Several submarines were moored on the lake, and a few dozen soldiers were stationed on the shore.

These people set up camp here, and there are obvious rune formations all around.

Then, the group carrying the blood crystals arrived near the submersible, handed over the spatial equipment filled with blood crystals to the people on board.

The submersible then activated, and the people carrying the blood crystals quickly sank to the bottom of the water.

Liang Yuan quietly continued to follow.

After entering the water, they soon left the abyss island.

As soon as they left the island, the runes on the submersible lit up, and then the entire submersible quickly became transparent, blending into the surrounding water and becoming completely invisible to the naked eye.

Liang Yuan's heart skipped a beat when he saw this.

"Stealth technology?"

He was secretly astonished; had the military actually mastered this technology?
With this technology, have they applied it to spacecraft?
If it was applied, why was it discovered by Mengya Company?

Is there still an obvious vulnerability in this stealth technology?

Liang Yuan was puzzled, so he quickly released his mental energy and immediately sensed the submersible speeding underwater.

Liang Yuan followed along, and at one point tried infrared imaging scanning.

Upon closer inspection, they immediately discovered the presence of the submersible.

"It's only visual stealth; stealth capabilities cannot be achieved through thermal imaging."

Liang Yuan suddenly realized that this technology could only be used against creatures that could distinguish objects with ordinary light.

The base of the Sprout Company must have equipment such as radar monitoring, so this kind of stealth technology should be of little use.

The submersible was fast, but unfortunately it was still too slow compared to Liang Yuan.

Ten minutes later, the submersible reached the vicinity of an underwater residential building.

Upon seeing this, a cold smile flashed across Liang Yuan's eyes.

However, the underwater residential complex was enveloped by rune arrays, and the entire complex was covered by a defensive shield.

There were many people coming and going inside, all of whom were wearing military uniforms or white coats.

Some unidentified machines were developed, and researchers were testing them in an open space in the community.

The submersible quickly entered the defensive shield, and then several strong soldiers came out of a building to hand over the space equipment filled with blood crystals.

The entire process was now complete, and the submersible had left the underwater base.

Liang Yuan witnessed this scene and sneered inwardly: "So the military has also set up an underwater base outside of Yunwu Island."

"Hehe, no wonder Zhang Yujiang was willing to give up Cloud Mist Island."

"Even if he loses Cloud Mist Island, he can easily build a new base underwater, transfer all his trusted men and technology there, and leave me with an empty shell of Cloud Mist Island."

"At that time, he could have let me face Mengya Company directly, while he stayed in the shadows."

"What a Zhang Yujiang! Humph!"

Liang Yuan sneered inwardly. Zhang Yujiang was even more cunning than he had imagined. If he really thought Zhang Yujiang was a high-ranking military officer who advocated peace, he would probably be betrayed and still have to count the money for him.

"I wonder if Feng Jiangong knows about this base."

Liang Yuan began to suspect that if Feng Jiangong knew about this base, then he and Zhang Yujiang were in cahoots.

However, if Feng Jiangong didn't know, then it can only be said that Zhang Yujiang set up the base in secret.

Liang Yuan prefers the latter.

Despite the seemingly good relationship between Feng Jiangong and Zhang Yujiang, Liang Yuan believes that nothing in this world is absolute when it comes to conflicts of interest.

He flashed and quickly returned to the surface of the water.

Standing on the water, looking in all directions, all you see is ice and snow that haven't completely melted yet.

Liang Yuan quickly flew into the sky, continuing to ascend to broaden his field of vision.

Soon he saw the Cangqiong Mountain, Midui Mountain and other mountains not far away.

"It turns out to be located to the west of Cangqiong Mountain, about several tens of kilometers away from Yunwu Island."

"Judging from this location, we're already close to JA City."

"I wonder how many of these underwater bases the military has built."

Liang Yuan stroked his chin, feeling that there were quite a few people in the military's high command who knew how to play this game.

The military appears to be led by Zhang Yujiang, but there are likely ulterior motives among the higher-ups.

Who wouldn't want their own territory?

Especially those who already held high positions of power, but unfortunately, awakened their special abilities relatively late.

This type of person is the most reluctant to relinquish the power they hold in their hands.

When Liang Yuan returned to the Mi Yuan Rainforest, he happened to run into Zhao Kai, who was receiving Feng Jiangong.

"Brother Liang, Feng Jiangong is here."

Zhao Kai looked excited, as if he had some good news.

Liang Yuan remained calm. He felt that the military was a mess, seemingly orderly on the surface, but once you got to know it, you'd realize it was a complete mess and impossible to get involved in.

Therefore, he was no longer interested in the news that Feng Jiangong brought back.

Upon entering the hall, Feng Jiangong saw Liang Yuan, and a smile appeared on his half-human, half-beast face.

“Mr. Liang, I went back and talked to Commander Zhang and the others. He said he would try to persuade the mid- to high-ranking officers again, and that there is still room for maneuver in this matter.”

Liang Yuan shook his head and said directly, "Forget it, no need."

Feng Jiangong's smile froze, and he exclaimed in astonishment, "What?"

"I'm no longer interested in Cloud Mist Island. You military can keep it for yourselves."

"What, what exactly happened? Mr. Liang, why are you suddenly saying this?"

Feng Jiangong became anxious and immediately began to inquire.

Liang Yuan glanced at Feng Jiangong, whose anxious expression seemed genuine.

Liang Yuan simply asked directly, "I'm asking you, has all the blood crystals on Cloud Mist Island been moved?"

Feng Jiangong was taken aback and quickly said, "How could that be? Cloud Mist Island has only been discovered for a little over a year. So many blood crystals are used to refine gene seeds. How many people are there on the island? How many gene seeds can they consume?"

Liang Yuan shook his head: "Have you seen the condition inside the atrium of your Cloud Mist Island?"

"Um, well... I control the brain core, the heart core is with Commander Zhang, so I generally don't go to the atrium."

Liang Yuan said calmly, "I think you should go and take a look. The blood crystals over there have probably already been cleared out."

"Furthermore, are you aware that your people are already mining blood crystals on Abyss Island? And that you've established an underwater base near Abyss Island?"

Feng Jiangong's expression changed slightly, and he said, "Isn't this normal? Our military has been exploring Abyss Island all along. In the process, establishing an underwater base nearby is also to facilitate the exploration of Abyss Island."

"Oh? So you know? Do you know what the properties of the blood crystals on Abyss Island are? Did you handle them after they were mined?"

"This... I'm not quite sure. You know, I only care about my own cultivation progress."

Liang Yuan shook his head slightly: "The most correct path is to return great power to oneself."

"But you are, after all, the top expert in the military, a representative figure of the military, and one of the true high-ranking officers in the military. You can ignore these things, but you shouldn't be unaware of them."

"Forget it, your military is rotten to the core, I can't be bothered to get involved."

"Once Sprout Company has dealt with you, it will be a good time to clean up this mess in the military before I make my move."

"Mr. Liang!"

Feng Jiangong's expression changed, and he frowned, saying, "You promised me before."

Liang Yuan glanced at him, thought for a moment, and said, "That's true. How about this, the conditions I promised you before remain unchanged. You leave the military and join Yangshan, and I will provide you with the opportunity to use the psionic gene warning device to help you accelerate your gene recombination progress."

Upon hearing this, Feng Jiangong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'll trade you my brain core."

Liang Yuan shook his head: "No need."

He took out a domino with intricate patterns on it and said, "This is called a bone contract. Once signed, its contents cannot be violated."

"You sign the bone contract. From now on, you will withdraw from the military forces and join Yangshan. You must not disobey my orders and must prioritize the interests of Yangshan in everything you do."

Feng Jiangong was slightly taken aback. He looked at the domino and exclaimed in surprise, "There are actually such things in this world?"

Liang Yuan said, "Since people with superpowers have appeared, you can get anything. Come on, do you want to sign?"

Feng Jiangong hesitated only slightly before asking, "What are the consequences if we break the bone pact?"

Liang Yuan glanced at him: "You wouldn't want to know."
