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

Chapter 753 The building is empty
In his mechanical octopus form, Yu Wentao's ability to fight multiple opponents is greatly enhanced.

His two tentacles tightly wrapped around Shi Haizhu, while one tentacle pulled Ding Yan down and then slammed her towards Cheng Zhanpeng.

The three-man attack collapsed instantly.

Yu Wentao grinned maliciously: "Useless trash, you think you can threaten me?"

"You have no idea how big the gap is between genetically modified superhumans!"

After saying that, he was about to violently pull off Shi Haizhu's stone head!

Seeing this, Shi Haizhu frantically activated his supernatural power, unleashing the power of the Titan!
The entire robotic arm was making clicking and clacking noises.

Yu Wentao's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately activated his superpower. The suction cups on those mechanical arms spewed out flames to accelerate and frantically pull on Shi Haizhu's arms.

The genetic difference between the two was so great that even though Shi Haizhu possessed the [Titan Power] skill, he was unable to escape for a time.

He could only watch helplessly as the mechanical tentacles slowly pried his arms apart, pulling them violently as if trying to tear him apart.

Fortunately, he is currently in his stone form, and his physical strength is incomparable to that of carbon-based life forms.

Otherwise, it would have been torn apart by now.

Seeing that he had lost the battle despite his strength, Shi Haizhu's stone-like face showed a hint of anger, and he cursed, "Do you think I'm a pushover?"

"Let me show you what your grandpa's got to do!"

His eyes on his stone face suddenly turned gray, and two gray rays of light burst forth instantly!
Then he landed directly on the mechanical arm that was wrapped around him!

Wherever the gray light passed, the mechanical arms instantly turned to stone!

This is the genetic map of the Stone Pillar [Titan Stone Man], showcasing its innate ability [Petrification]!
This ability can directly alter the elemental structure of a target, turning the opponent into stone!

This bizarre attack was something Yu Wentao had never expected.

His two tentacles were instantly petrified and unable to move.

The entire mechanical octopus body sank downwards.

He was startled and, without saying a word, immediately activated his supernatural power.

Boom!

Two petrifying tentacles detached from the mechanical octopus's body in an instant, followed by a loud bang!

That mechanical tentacle actually self-destructed!
Meanwhile, Yu Wentao's remaining mechanical tentacles spun wildly, like a helicopter, and his figure flew rapidly into the sky.

Not only that, the suction cups of those mechanical tentacles also spewed out large amounts of energy, accelerating wildly!
This caused the mechanical octopus to soar into the black clouds like a rocket!
He's trying to escape!

The current situation is clearly disadvantageous to him.

If he keeps fighting, he'll eventually fall here.

The key issue is that his supernatural abilities were greatly depleted after these three joined forces.

With Ling Yurong watching him like a hawk, how could Yu Wentao dare to stay here any longer?

"Mr. Liang, he's trying to escape!" Shi Haizhu shouted urgently.

Liang Yuan looked up at the sky and smiled faintly: "He can't escape."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Ling Yurong, who was not far away, moved!

She simply pointed to the void and uttered a clear shout: "Frozen Return to Nothingness!"

In an instant, her spiritual power spread out, and wherever it passed, all the rain and snow froze.

The entire sky transformed into endless black ice, spreading wildly in all directions.

The mechanical octopus's body was instantly covered with layers upon layers of ice shards.

The engine, which had been roaring continuously, now emitted a low, whirring whine!
The mechanical octopus slowed down more and more until it was finally frozen completely inside a block of ice.

The next moment, in free fall, it roared and crashed into the flood.

Seeing this, Liang Yuan glanced at Ling Yurong in surprise.

I never expected Ling Yurong to have such a trick up her sleeve.

Such a wide-range freezing skill is indeed difficult to resist.

If it weren't for my shadow and spatial abilities, I probably wouldn't have been able to escape the City of Mist.

"Fortunately, I took advantage of her distraction and planted a soul restraint talisman on her, otherwise she would have been a formidable enemy."

Liang Yuan secretly rejoiced and waved his hand.

Above the water where Yu Wentao fell, a spatial portal appeared.

It instantly swallowed Yu Wentao and then disappeared.

"Yu Wentao has good mechanical skills. I'll put a soul restraint talisman on him and have him work for me. He might be very useful in the future when the Yangshan R&D Department designs spaceships and other things."

Yu Wentao was originally a talent in the research department of Mengya Company, a fact that Zhou Haoran had already told Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan would naturally not miss out on such a talent.

Yangshan has now entered a period of rapid development.

We must master more technologies as soon as possible in order to rapidly improve our combat capabilities.

As for top-tier experts, continuous improvement is needed; currently, relying solely on Ling Yurong is far from sufficient.

"Once we resolve the military's issues and stabilize the situation on the floating island, we'll attempt to break through the 40% gene recombination level!"

Liang Yuan made up his mind.

"Liang Yuan, what do we do now?"

Ding Yan flew over at this moment, reverting to her human form, and looked towards the direction of Cloud Mist Island.

Upon hearing this, Liang Yuan said, "Hasn't Feng Jiangong already gone over to handle it?"

It turns out that Feng Jiangong hadn't appeared during the battle because Liang Yuan had sent him to Yunwu Island to gather military personnel.

Liang Yuan is now almost certain that Zhang Yujiang is definitely not on Cloud Mist Island.

This person has probably given up on Cloud Mist Island completely.

Thinking of this, Liang Yuan immediately said, "Come on, follow me to a place."

With that, he flashed and flew towards Abyss Island with Ling Yurong, Ding Yan, and the others.

Abyss Island is not too far from Cloud Mist Island, only a few dozen kilometers away.

Because it was hidden deep beneath the floodwaters, few people knew about it.

Ding Yan asked, "Where are we going?" "Zhang Yujiang has already built a base near Abyss Island. He secretly mined the blood crystals on Abyss Island, and now he probably has emptied the blood crystals off Cloud Mist Island as well."

"With the arrival of Sprout Company, he has probably abandoned Cloud Mist Island and hidden in his underwater base."

"Let's take down his stronghold!"

Shi Haizhu and the others immediately showed excitement.

Cheng Zhanpeng couldn't help but curse, "Damn it, this bastard is supposed to be the top military officer, how could he just abandon the people on the island and run away like that?"

Shi Haizhu sneered: "I saw through these officials before the end of the world. They're the first to run away when something really happens, but they come out and act all high and mighty when nothing's going on."

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Zhang Yujiang is a hypocrite. At first, the military was divided into two factions. In order to gain more support, he created the so-called dove faction and gathered and took in a lot of talented people in the name of saving the world."

"Actually, it's just to expand his own power. Didn't you see that Feng Jiangong was completely fooled by him?"

"If Feng Jiangong hadn't been so focused on breaking through to a higher realm, he probably would have already been lured away by him."

Ding Yan couldn't help but say, "There isn't a single good official."

Ling Yurong, who was listening from the side, found it strange and said, "The common people do not fight against the officials. This is a principle that has been followed since ancient times. Don't you people understand this nowadays?"

"The people and the officials have always been two opposing classes."

Liang Yuan and the others were speechless.

Ling Yurong, this ancient supernatural being, actually revealed the essence of the official-centric mentality that has existed for thousands of years in a single sentence.

"arrive!"

Liang Yuan interrupted everyone's conversation and appeared in the sky above a sea area.

He led the way and dived underwater, with Ling Yurong and the others following closely behind.

The water below is turbulent, and the ruins of the submerged city come into view.

Various powerful underwater mutant beasts roamed all around.

However, due to the overwhelming aura of Liang Yuan and his companions, even though these mutated beasts had reached the level of gene recombination, they were so frightened that they all fled.

Liang Yuan looked at a huge abyss island not far away and said, "That's the Abyss Island. The ancient superhuman corpse that Zhang Yujiang and the others found is here."

Upon hearing this, Ling Yurong's expression shifted, and she asked, "Do you know what that ancient superhuman was called?"

Liang Yuan shook his head: "I don't know. I'll ask Feng Jiangong later; maybe he'll know something."

At this point, he suddenly said, "Perhaps they are old acquaintances from your ancient times."

Ling Yurong said, "That's possible. In ancient times, there weren't many people who cultivated the method of immortality, but they were all well-known figures."

"I have a high probability of knowing him."

Liang Yuan said, "If you can find them, can you persuade them to join Yangshan?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Yurong immediately smiled and said, "Why try to persuade them? If they're disobedient, just beat them into submission, won't that solve the problem?"

Liang Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then laughed: "That's true."

"Mr. Liang, is it that base over there?"

At this moment, Shi Haizhu suddenly noticed something and immediately looked at a shadowy area on the bottom of the water in the distance.

Liang Yuan looked over and asked in surprise, "How did you know it was over there?"

Zhang Yujiang's underwater base is equipped with a concealed defensive shield, giving it a certain degree of stealth.

Liang Yuan was found using a military submersible.

Unexpectedly, Shi Haizhu saw through it at a glance.

Shi Haizhu chuckled and said, "My genetic map is [Titan Stone Man]. As long as I stand on the ground, I will have a strong sense of the earth element around me."

Liang Yuan then realized and laughed, "Not bad, your abilities are well-suited for guarding an underwater base."

Underwater combat isn't limited to water-elemental ability users; ability users like Shi Haizhu, who can stand on the ground and utilize earth elements, are also well-suited for fighting both underwater and on land.

Shi Haizhu shook his head repeatedly: "No, I still prefer Yangshan."

As they talked, they arrived near the base.

Liang Yuan directly used his mental pulse ability to forcibly open a gap in the base's defensive shield.

The group immediately swam in.

"Wait, something's not right. Why is there nobody here?"

As soon as he entered, Cheng Zhanpeng exclaimed in surprise.

The entire base was completely empty; there wasn't a single person in sight!
Not only was there no one there, but apart from the buildings, there were no other items, such as diving equipment.

Upon seeing the situation, Liang Yuan's expression suddenly changed.

"Damn it, that old dog Zhang Yujiang has escaped!"

"Quickly, split up and search!"

He immediately gave the order, and the men quickly began searching the underwater base.

After a thorough search, sure enough, there wasn't a single person left!
Not even a single submersible was left behind!

The group met again, and Liang Yuan, with a grim expression, asked, "Did you find anything?"

Ding Yan said, "Apart from the supernatural stones embedded in the defensive formation to maintain it, there is no one else in the entire base."

"The warehouse is empty, with only some empty boxes of supplies left. It looks like it's been completely emptied," Shi Haizhu said.

"It seems that the old man really did run away," Cheng Zhanpeng said.

Ding Yan asked, "Where could he have gone? Could he have left Linjiang?"

Liang Yuan said in a deep voice, "This old thing still has the core of Cloud Mist Island on him. It would be best to find him."

"Then what should we do now?"

"Go back first and send people to search around. The people from Sprout Company attacked Cloud Mist Island today, so he should have just escaped and couldn't have gone far."

“Okay, let’s go to Cloud Mist Island and have Feng Jiangong send people to look for it,” Ding Yan said immediately.

Shi Haizhu said, "Our spaceship is still here, so we can send it out to search."

Liang Yuan nodded. The view from the air is wider than that from the water, so they might be able to spot Zhang Yujiang's men faster.

However, if Zhang Yujiang escaped using an underwater submersible or similar means, then he will be difficult to find.
