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

Chapter 784 Liang Minru's Shock
Half an hour later, Liang Minru's face was filled with shock and astonishment, which lingered for a long time.

"You mean, those spaceships are all yours? You've established a shelter in Yangshan and have already integrated all the shelter forces in Linjiang City?"

"Are you planning to enter the floating island now?"

After hearing Liang Yuan's description, Liang Minru asked in disbelief.

Lu Dayou, who was standing to the side, had the same expression.

They were all shocked and incredulous.

Lu Dayou knew that those spaceships belonged to Yangshan, and he also knew that Yangshan should be developing very well.

But he never imagined that the entire Linjiang was now under Yangshan's rule.

Liang Yuan remained calm and composed, and smiled, "Yes, Linjiang City is now under our control, but the airspace of Linjiang City has been invaded and occupied by Kerry Technology Company and Mengya Company."

“We absolutely cannot turn a blind eye to this, otherwise we will completely lose our airspace rights here, which will be very detrimental to the future development of Yangshan.”

"So we came here, and a battle broke out between the two forces, Mengya and Kerry Technology."

"This is a conflict of interest; there is no right or wrong, and we cannot back down."

"Sprout Company?" Lu Dayou asked curiously, "Where did this Sprout Company come from?"

Liang Yuan explained, "Both Mengya Company and Kerry Technology Company are forces from Yuzhou Province."

"What? The influence of Yuzhou Province? Isn't Yuzhou three or four hundred kilometers away from Linjiang City?" Liang Minru exclaimed in surprise.

She herself is from Yuzhou Province, and later settled in Linjiang City.

Therefore, she knew very well how far Yuzhou Province was from Linjiang City.

Before the apocalypse, even without traffic jams, it would take her more than three hours to drive back to her hometown from the highway.

In this great flood, cars and other means of transportation are completely unusable. If we rely solely on boats, how long would it take to travel three or four hundred kilometers?
In Liang Minru's memory, Liang Yuan and the others still looked the same as when they rowed a wooden raft to Yangshan.

Therefore, she found it hard to imagine what Mengya Company and Kerry Technology Company, who had crossed hundreds of kilometers on a raft to invade Linjiang City, would look like.

However, she realized what she had said as soon as she finished speaking.

Kerry Technology has already been able to build a base on the Divine Tree Island, and has even developed a spaceship capable of passing through thunderclouds.

How could a company of this caliber possibly travel by raft and small boat?

The other side must have more powerful water vehicles.

Upon thinking about it, she immediately realized that Yangshan might also have such vehicles.

For a moment, she felt a mix of emotions, realizing how much the world had changed.

It was so big that she could hardly keep up.

Liang Yuan said, "Nowadays, three or four hundred kilometers is no longer considered a long distance. Whether it's a spaceship or a modern ship, we can get there quickly."

"Even before the apocalypse, when we could only rely on cars and other means of transportation, now, thanks to the emergence of superpowers, our means of transportation have been upgraded to a more advanced level."

"Our spaceship can reach a maximum speed of ten kilometers per minute."

"Three hundred kilometers, it may only take half an hour to get there."

"And our speedboats and boats can reach places 300 kilometers away within an hour."

"Of course, there is still a problem troubling us now, and that is the issue of positioning."

"Because the city was submerged by the flood, there were few landmarks on the vast expanse of water, making it difficult for us to determine our direction."

"Neither spaceships nor ships can solve this problem at present."

Liang Minru asked with some doubt: "Is this problem really that difficult? You've even developed a spaceship, yet you can't overcome the problem of orientation?"

Liang Yuan shook his head: "There's no way around it. Short-range positioning is achievable, but long-range positioning is still not possible at the moment."

"How could this be?" Lu Dayou asked, puzzled. "Why is it so difficult to pinpoint the location?"

Liang Yuan said, "It's still because of his special ability."

"Ability?"

"Yes, due to the pervasive supernatural energy, the magnetic field of the entire planet has undergone drastic changes."

"You should know that most positioning technology relies on satellite guidance, and a chaotic magnetic field means that it is impossible to distinguish between east, west, south, and north."

Lu Dayou suddenly realized, while Liang Minru frowned and asked, "How could the magnetic field change?"

Her level of education was clearly higher than Lu Dayou's, and she was also smarter than Lu Dayou.

Lu Dayou knew that the change in the magnetic field made it impossible to locate the object, so he didn't ask any more questions.

However, she would delve deeper into the issue of magnetic fields.

Liang Yuan explained, "The supernatural energy caused changes in the magnetic field, but I'm not entirely sure why."

"However, we can make some guesses. For example, these cosmic behemoths transformed into floating islands, which themselves possess a certain gravitational system."

"Have you ever wondered what makes such a large island float in the sky?"

The two were slightly taken aback; they hadn't actually thought about this question.

Liang Yuan said, "It's gravity. These floating islands are actually star beasts. According to the information I have, once the core and brain of a star beast are formed, it is essentially a small celestial body."

"They carry their own gravitational field, which creates a repulsive force with our planet, allowing them to float."

The two seemed to understand, but not quite; they clearly couldn't fully comprehend it.

Liang Yuan didn't elaborate, but simply asked, "Let's not talk about this anymore. What are your plans for the future?"

Lu Dayou immediately said, "Mr. Liang, I would like to go to Yangshan to see my daughter."

Liang Yuan nodded and smiled, "That's only right."

Liang Minru hesitated for a moment; she didn't really want to go back to Yangshan.

Because too many people there knew about her past, she didn't want to run into them again.

Liang Yuan could see her concerns, and seeing that she didn't speak, he simply smiled and said, "No need to rush to answer me. Currently, our people still need to build a base on the nearby floating islands to consolidate our strength."

"I won't be leaving here anytime soon."

"By the way, speaking of which, the core and brain of this island are still in your hands, which means that you two are the true owners of this island."

"I'd like to ask you, what are your plans for dealing with this island in the future?"

Lu Dayou and Liang Minru were stunned again.

Lu Dayou asked, "Mr. Liang, do you mean the island still belongs to us?"

Liang Minru was also somewhat incredulous. Liang Yuan and his group had already defeated the people from Kerry Technology Company, yet they were still willing to let them control the island?
He actually didn't make them hand over their heart and brain cores?
Liang Yuan smiled and said, "You are all old friends of mine. I would never take something from a friend."

"Besides, I don't lack floating islands now. Yangshan has only so many people, but its territory has increased considerably."

"However, I must remind you that Kerry Technology suffered a great loss this time. Some of their staff have already fled here to seek help."

"You should be prepared that when the people from Kerry Technology come next time, they probably won't let it go so easily."

Upon hearing this, Lu Dayou and Liang Minru's hearts skipped a beat.

Only then did the two realize this.

The people from Kerry Technology Company only lost this time, but their headquarters aren't here, so they still have the ability to retaliate.

If Liang Yuan and his group really abandon Shenshu Island, how will they compete with the people from Kerry Technology Company?
Liang Minru realized this at this moment. Although Liang Yuan did not explicitly ask them to hand over their heart core and brain core.

However, if Liang Yuan abandons them, they simply cannot protect this sacred tree island.

Liang Minru immediately realized that they had no other way to go but to rely on Liang Yuan in order to keep everything they had.

Lu Dayou couldn't help but say, "Mr. Liang, there are only a few dozen of us. We don't really need such a large floating island. How about this, you can manage the island."

“I can give you the core.”

"Brother Lu!"

Liang Minru's expression changed immediately, and she couldn't help but shout.

Lu Dayou looked at Liang Minru and said, "Minru, you know me. I'm not good at managing things. Since these dozens of people are following me, I have to give them an explanation."

"Joining Yangshan is my way of giving them an explanation."

"Moreover, even if I have this core here, I'm not confident that I can keep it safe forever."

"Without Mr. Liang, I'm afraid I would be forced to hand it over even if the people from Kerry Technology Company came. Rather than that, it's better to hand it over to Mr. Liang."

Liang Minru looked at Lu Dayou with a complicated expression, knowing that nothing she said would make a difference.

Lu Dayou is a man of his own mind; once he sets his mind on something, he will definitely do it.

Moreover, it's really hard to say that Lu Dayou did anything wrong in this matter.

This core would be a huge ticking time bomb for anyone who puts it in their body.

Without strong enough power to protect it, it will bring disaster.

What makes Liang Minru even more helpless is that she also has to face the same problem.

If the brain and heart cores weren't in Liang Yuan's hands, why would he be willing to help her guard the Divine Tree Island?

Without Liang Yuan protecting the Divine Tree Island, she would have almost no power to resist if the people from Kerry Technology came.

Finally, Liang Minru sighed and said, "Mr. Liang, I am also willing to hand over the brain core, only asking that Yangshan can protect us."

Liang Yuan laughed and said, "What are you talking about? I welcome you to join Yangshan, so why bother trading heart cores and brain cores?"

"If I were to actually take over your core brains, how could I face the friendship we shared on our journey together?"

Liang Minru suddenly looked up, her eyes filled with a mixture of surprise and disbelief as she looked at Liang Yuan: "Mr. Liang, you, you mean?"

Lu Dayou was also surprised and couldn't help but say, "Mr. Liang, I am truly willing to give you this core."

Liang Yuan smiled and shook his head: "Whether you are willing or not, I will not take advantage of your misfortune at this time."

"I warmly welcome you to join Yangshan. As for the core and brain core, there's no need to mention them again."

"Of course, I have already stated that since you have joined Yangshan, Shenshu Island must be under the unified management of Yangshan."

"I will arrange personnel to build the Yangshan base branch on Shenshu Island. At that time, all resources on the island will be subject to unified planning, management and use by Yangshan. Do you agree?"

Liang Minru and Lu Dayou exchanged a glance, both showing surprise and delight.

Compared to handing over the core of the heart and brain, what is this?
The two were deeply grateful to Liang Yuan.

Liang Minru stood up and bowed to Liang Yuan, saying, "Mr. Liang, from this day forward, we will join Yangshan and become a part of Yangshan. You are free to use the resources on this island."

"Mr. Liang, from now on, as long as you ask, we will never refuse if it is within our power!" Lu Dayou also patted his chest and made his promise.

Liang Yuan laughed and said, "That's enough with the two of you saying that. Alright, it's getting late. Go and introduce yourselves to the people outside. Come with me later, I'll take you home."
