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

Chapter 776 The Hopes of Lu Dayou and Others
Lu Dayou was extremely excited. The thought that his poor daughter was still alive made him unable to contain his emotions. His eyes turned red, and he really wished he could catch up with the spaceship immediately.

But he knew he couldn't do it. Not to mention the terrifying mutated beasts flying in the sky outside, he couldn't even be seen in the light of day on this sacred tree island.

Once he shows his face, the people at Kerry Technology will do everything in their power to capture him.

"Let's go back first and discuss it with everyone."

Lu Dayou took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then quickly left.

In less than half an hour, he arrived at a hidden cave.

We went into the cave and followed the passageway inside.

After passing several dozen meters, we finally reached the bottom.

This is the entrance to a path leading to the bloodline, and it is very well hidden.

If he didn't possess the core, it would be very difficult to find this entrance.

Upon entering the Bloodline Path, he moved with lightning speed, sprinting forward at breakneck speed.

On this path of bloodline, he no longer needed to hide his strength and could run wildly with peace of mind.

It would be almost impossible for people from Kerry Technologies to plant informants here and discover his whereabouts.

A dozen minutes later, he turned at dozens of intersections and appeared in a vast, empty cavern.

This cavern is enormous, covering an area of ​​tens of thousands of square meters.

All around were many thick, black, iron-like plants, bare and without branches, with sharp tips like steel needles.

These are tree cavities inside the Divine Tree Island.

The Divine Tree Island is a wood-element island, and its true form is not an animal, but a giant plant.

The blood vessels in plants are different from those in animals, so they don't have things like internal organs.

Within this inner world, there are tubular channels everywhere, which connect in all directions and eventually link to the roots deep underground.

The so-called core is hidden within the root vein, and has long been refined and absorbed by Lu Dayou.

At this moment, inside this huge tree-hole hall, in the northwest direction, many thick, black trees have been felled, forming a flat area.

There are many houses built here, and many people still live here.

A large crowd had gathered in the square, discussing what had just happened outside.

"Xiao Li, I heard you encountered some trouble outside today? Is that true?"

"I heard that another faction's spaceships have come to our island? And they've even started fighting with Kerry Technology's spaceships?"

"is this real?"

"Captain Liang, is what the others said true? Are there really many spaceships outside?"

"Captain Liang, if we had a spaceship, could we ask them for help and leave this place?"

"I've had enough. I don't want to live underground anymore. I don't want to live like a rat."

Some people shouted excitedly, wishing they could rush out immediately.

Liang Minru, Li Jiguang, and the others remained silent.

Liang Minru frowned and suddenly said, "I won't stop you from going out, but I have to remind you that we don't know who's on those spaceships outside."

"I know what you're thinking. Do you think that's a government spaceship? That a national spaceship has come to rescue you?"

"Hehe, I advise you to give up that idea."

"If the government had any rescue mission, it would have arrived long ago. How could it have taken more than two years for them to finally appear here?"

"Have you forgotten how you survived the great flood?"

"Are you relying on others?"

"No! You survived because of your own efforts. You took the initiative to leave the building that trapped you and search for higher places."

"Think back, of those who remained in the building, barely clinging to life, how many are still alive?"

"Why did you all revert to your old turtle mentality once you got here, only knowing how to wait for someone to rescue you?"

Liang Minru scolded them, these were the people she and Lu Dayou had rescued one after another when they were struggling to survive on the water.

Later, these people voluntarily followed them, and that's how their team came to be.

These people once followed them to this floating island.

At that time, Shenshu Island had not yet been occupied by the people from Kerry Technology Company.

They are the only human group on the island.

The Sacred Tree Island is quite large, with lush vegetation, abundant water resources, and a well-developed ecosystem.

At that time, everyone felt that this place was paradise.

They had completely escaped the flooded world, and there were no more terrifying torrential rains.

The only danger is those terrifying mutated beasts in the sky and the mutated creatures that emerge from the forest.

Everything else is really perfect.

In addition, Lu Dayou later refined the heart core of the Divine Tree Island, and Liang Minru refined the brain core of the Divine Tree Island.

The two went from being partners to lovers, and thus completely took control of the island.

Together, they built a home here and established their own shelter.

At that time, everyone really thought that from then on, they could live here and start a new life.

However, all of this was completely shattered by the sudden appearance of Kerry Technologies' spaceship a few months ago.

Their home was destroyed by Kerry Technology, and they are being hunted down and killed by them.

More than half of their partners and relatives died at the hands of Kerry Technology.

Now, they can only survive in this underground world, like rats in the shadows.

Therefore, everyone has a strong desire to return to the ground.

Liang Minru was aware of this as well.

They were forced to hide here for several months due to coercion and attacks by Kerry Technology Company.

Living by hunting and gathering, resources have become so scarce that we now have to risk going out to hunt.

Now that they suddenly saw hope, everyone couldn't help but act.

Liang Minru also knew that it was better to guide than to suppress; forcibly suppressing them would only backfire. So she said with a stern face, "I'll only say one thing: if you go out and are caught by the people from Kerry Technology Company, don't let them scare you a little and expose the underground shelter that we've worked so hard to build."

"If that's the case, don't blame me for turning on you!"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Some conservative and timid people immediately spoke up.

“I think Miss Liang has a point. We don’t even know who those people are. What if they’re another group of people like those from Kerry Technology?”

"We still can't take risks. Although living underground has many inconveniences, at least we can survive."

"If we really go up there and get caught, who knows what they might do to us?"

"This is the end of the world. There are no laws, no morals. These people are capable of anything."

As everyone chimed in with their own words, the group that had initially wanted to leave gradually fell silent.

"Are we going to stay underground like this forever? When will this ever end?"

Someone couldn't help but mutter a comment.

The others also looked frustrated.

Upon seeing this, Liang Minru glanced at Li Jiguang.

Li Jiguang immediately understood and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, a new force has emerged, and it is an enemy of Kerry Technology Company."

"As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Perhaps this is indeed an opportunity."

"But we shouldn't rush things. Instead, we should observe and see if this potential friend is truly reliable."

"Also, we're too weak!"

"The prerequisite for making friends with someone is that you must be on an equal footing."

"If we cannot improve ourselves, we will have no way to make friends with them."

"Why can Kerry Technology bully us? Isn't it because we're too weak?"

"Everyone, instead of waiting for others to save us, we should work hard to improve our cultivation progress."

"How many of you have broken through your genetic barrier? How many of you have reached 100 points in your genetic attributes?"

"Work hard, because strength is the only guarantee for our survival."

His words put everyone present at ease.

The excitement I felt earlier gradually subsided.

Yes, if you're not strong enough, anyone can bully you.

Just then, Lu Dayou returned; he had been there for a while.

Listening to the discussion, his excited mood gradually calmed down.

Although still very agitated, she has regained some of her senses.

"Captain Lu is back!"

"Brother Dayou, what's the situation outside?"

"Brother Lu, have you found out what those spaceships are all about?"

A group of people quickly surrounded them, asking questions one after another.

Lu Dayou waved his hand, signaling everyone to calm down.

When everyone quieted down and looked at him with eager eyes.

He then spoke, saying in a deep voice, "Gentlemen, I was unable to make contact with the other party."

"The enemy did not land; after bombing the Kerry Technology Company's base, they flew away."

"Based on my observation, this attack should only be a harassment attack, with the main purpose of reconnaissance of Kerry Technology's base."

Upon hearing this, many people showed a hint of disappointment on their faces.

But some people's eyes lit up.

Someone said, "So that means they'll probably come back again?"

Everyone immediately realized what was happening.

Will you come again?

"What grudge does this force have against Kerry Technology Company?"

"If they come again, we'll still have a chance."

"I estimate that these two forces will not be able to determine a winner in the short term, which gives us a lot of room to maneuver."

"What operational space?"

"We can impersonate people from Kerry Technology and then surrender to the other side. That way, we'll have an identity, right?"

"What's the use of having this identity?"

"Are you stupid? Why is Kerry Technology relentlessly pursuing us? Isn't it because they think we are the natives of this place, and that we have the core and brain of this floating island?"

“If we change our identities and stop being natives of this island, they won’t be so hostile towards us.”

"Hmm, now that you mention it, it makes sense."

Everyone started discussing it excitedly.

Both sides seemed to believe that a major battle would greatly benefit them.

Lu Da didn't participate in the discussion. He walked to Liang Minru's side and whispered, "Come with me, I have something to tell you."

Liang Minru was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized that Lu Dayou must have found out other information.

However, it's not appropriate to announce this news publicly.

A thought struck her, and she immediately followed Lu Dayou, the two of them heading towards the wooden house.

Li Jiguang followed, but just as he was about to enter the house, Lu Dayou suddenly turned his head and said, "Jiguang, you stay outside and don't let anyone come near."

Li Jiguang was taken aback; it was the first time he had ever seen Lu Dayou so serious.

He nodded solemnly: "Okay."
