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

Chapter 797 The Choice of Hibiscus Valley
JA City, Meteor Island.

People come and go on the island, and all sorts of buildings rise and fall. The paved roads, sturdy houses, and the blue protective shield make this place stand out from the vast floodwaters all around.

On the blue defensive shield, streaks of light, like shooting stars, would occasionally flash by.

This floating island is called Meteor Island because of this.

Meteor Island is located southeast of JA City, not too far from Linjiang City.

For the people in the vicinity, this floating island is their greatest means of survival in the flooded world.

At that moment, two small boats were rapidly approaching the port from outside the island.

The port of Meteor Island was bustling with people.

The nearby snow had long since melted, and only remnants of ice floated on the water.

As winter passes, the ice gradually melts, and the water level rises again.

Many ships are now ready to be launched again.

However, as the water level rises, many mountain peaks that were previously above water are now submerged.

The floodwaters rose significantly, far exceeding expectations.

Many of the shelters that originally stood in the mountains were completely submerged by the flood.

The mountain could not support so many people, so some people could not compete for a place to live and had to start migrating to other places.

In JA City today, floating islands have become the preferred relocation destination for locals.

However, things were not so simple. The floodwaters rose again, making the land resources of the floating islands even more valuable.

Getting to the island isn't something you can just do on any island.

"Boss, I heard that Meteor Island is not easy to reach. With so many people in our Hibiscus Valley, can we all move over?" Zang Haiyang couldn't help but look at Ma Gaoxuan at the bow of the ship and asked in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Ma Gaoxuan, who was standing at the bow of the ship, did not turn around, but instead looked at the huge floating island in the distance.

He said slowly, "Let's do our best, at least to ensure that the patrol team and all high-ranking personnel and their families can move here."

"A major battle took place on Meteor Island a few months ago. Now that the island has changed hands, it should be short of manpower. If we go there now, we should be able to get a good position."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yan couldn't help but ask, "I heard that the people who invaded Meteor Island in that battle a few months ago came from Linjiang City? Is that true?"

Ma Gaoxuan nodded slightly: "Yes, it did come from over there."

Shen Yan asked, "Could it be someone from Yangshan?"

Ma Gaoxuan shook his head slightly: "No, Yangshan's influence in Linjiang is very strong now. The fact that Lin Jingtao and Lin Miaomiao refuse to leave Furong Valley and are determined to run to Linjiang City shows the situation of Yangshan."

At this moment, an old man at the bow of the ship said, "Chief, according to what I have learned from my previous investigations, this Yangshan Refuge is now quite formidable."

"I heard that they have even defeated the Guangfu military, and now there is no one in Guangfu who can match them."

"It can be said that Yangshan is now the number one refuge in Linjiang City."

"No, it should be said that Yangshan is the only refuge in Linjiang City, and its territory is very large."

Zang Haiyang nodded and said, "Our patrol team's caravan also went there to find out what was going on. We heard that Yangshan has not only occupied the high mountains of Guangfu, but has also taken over Yangbaoshan."

He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Boss, why don't we go and join Yangshan? Why come to Meteor Island?"

He couldn't quite understand Ma Gaoxuan's actions.

Yangshan is now the number one refuge in Linjiang City, and I heard that it has several floating islands in its possession.

Wouldn't joining such a force be better than joining Meteor Island, which has just emerged from a period of chaos?

Ma Gaoxuan shook his head slightly and said, "There's an old saying that goes, 'Better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.'"

“We’re considered top-tier experts in JA City, but if we join Yangshan, will we still be top-tier experts?”

"Yangshan has abundant resources, but how much of it can actually reach us?"

"In comparison, Meteor Island has just emerged from a period of chaos and is in dire need of manpower."

"With our involvement, we are sure to gain their respect."

"When we become high-ranking figures on Meteor Island, we'll have a certain say. Isn't that better than struggling to survive under Yang Shan's influence?"

Zang Haiyang suddenly understood and nodded slightly.

Ma Gaoxuan looked at the old man beside him and asked, "Elder Mei, have you found out everything about Meteor Island?"

Mei Jingxuan nodded slightly: "I understand everything now."

"Let me tell you all about it."

Mei Jingxuan said, "The original owner of Meteor Island was named Liu Mingwei. He was the first to discover Meteor Island and refined its core."

"Later, people discovered the island one after another, but since there was already an island owner, everyone regarded him as their leader, and it developed into Meteor Island Shelter."

"However, after Liu Mingwei was the boss for a while, he got arrogant and started scavenging women and seizing food. He had a very bad reputation outside."

"About half a year ago, a man named Wu Meng came to join Liu Mingwei. Not long after, Liu Mingwei suddenly died, and Wu Meng took his place, becoming the master of Meteor Island."

"This Wu Meng is quite capable. After taking office, he quickly restored discipline and managed the entire Meteor Island in an orderly manner."

"However, this person rarely showed up after that, and I heard that he has been diligently cultivating his supernatural abilities."

"Until the invasion of Meteor Island broke out a few months ago, this person made another move. He had already reached the stage of genetic recombination and fought a long battle with the enemy before a winner was decided."

"Later, the group of invaders were actually impressed by this person and joined Meteor Island together, making Meteor Island grow stronger and stronger."

"This is also what is rumored outside. This Wu Meng Island Master has an amazing magnanimity and is tolerant of others, which has attracted many people to join him."

At this point, he glanced at Ma Gaoxuan. Ma Gaoxuan smiled and said, "I also heard that this person has such magnanimity, so I came to give it a try."

Zang Haiyang asked, "Gene recombination, I wonder what stage Wu Meng has reached in gene recombination, whether it has exceeded 10%."

"If it exceeds 10%, then you are indeed a master."

Mei Jingxuan shook his head slightly: "No one knows his exact strength, but he's definitely not weak."

"I heard that he fought against many opponents single-handedly and was extremely impressive."

"Who were those people who attacked Wu Meng?" Shen Yan asked curiously from the side.

Mei Jingxuan laughed and said, "They are a group of wanderers. I don't know where they came from, but I know that the leader is called Shi Lianhai. However, he is very strong. It is said that he is an earth-attribute ability user."

"Moreover, he has quite a few experts under his command."

Shen Yan couldn't help but ask, "Did this sudden expert have no prior reputation?"

Ma Gaoxuan said, "In the world of the Great Flood, the most difficult thing to transmit is information. It's normal that no one knows the origin of this group of people because of their mysterious origins."

Mei Jingxuan smiled and said, "In short, with such a group of experts in charge, Meteor Island has finally stabilized."

"I've heard that Meteor Island is developing quite well now, and the environment is much more stable. Among the three floating islands in our JA City, it's considered to have better public security."

Ma Gaoxuan looked at the port of Meteor Island and suddenly said, "We've arrived. Get ready."

Everyone perked up and looked toward the port outside Meteor Island.

However, many ships were seen queuing up to enter the port and dock.

Zang Haiyang and Mei Jingxuan walked behind.

Zang Haiyang asked in a low voice, "Elder Mei, I've heard that there are quite a few floating islands in Linjiang City, and the security here is no worse than here. Our Furong Valley is even closer to Linjiang City."

He still preferred to seek refuge at the Yangshan Refuge in Linjiang City.

After all, Lin Jingtao and Lin Miaomiao, the brother and sister, frequently visited the Yangshan refuge and often brought back a lot of news.

Therefore, Zang Haiyang knows more about Yangshan than he does about Meteor Island.

In comparison, he would naturally prefer to seek refuge at Yangshan Refuge.

He had also heard that the Yangshan refugee camp was expanding and recruiting refugees everywhere, providing them with free accommodation and food supplies.

This is not something that can be achieved through ordinary refuge.

It's important to understand that even today, after the flood era, many people still go hungry.

Those mutated fish in the water are not something anyone can catch.

Mei Jingxuan looked around and, seeing that no one was around, whispered, "There is another important reason why the leader did not choose to join Yangshan, which I have not mentioned."

Zang Haiyang was taken aback and quickly asked, "Please give me some pointers, Elder Mei."

Mei Jingxuan said, "Have you forgotten that armored convoy from Yuzhou a few months ago?"

Zang Haiyang was startled: "You mean... Sprout?"

"Hmm, Sprout Company looks like an armed force from a powerful organization. Putting aside everything else, their armored vehicles alone are something that ordinary forces could not develop."

"Yangshan has offended such a powerful organization; I'm afraid there will be considerable crises ahead."

"That's precisely why the leader is unwilling to get involved in this mess."

Upon hearing this, Zang Haiyang finally understood why Ma Gaoxuan had done this.

He couldn't help but say, "But it seems that the armored team has been wiped out by the Yangshan forces. I heard from Lin Jingtao that Yangshan is quite developed now."

"I heard they've already developed an aircraft."

Upon hearing this, Mei Jingxuan was slightly taken aback: "An aircraft?"

He immediately shook his head and said, "What's the use? No matter how powerful the aircraft is, can it still pass through the clouds?"

"Don't forget, even military planes can't get up there."

None of them had ever seen Yangshan's spaceship, so they were unaware of Yangshan's current level of development.

They assumed that Yangshan's development level was similar to theirs.

Lin Jingtao and his sister haven't been to Yangshan for quite some time.

Because of the previous battle between Yangshan and Baoshan, which created a climate of fear and uncertainty, Lin Jingtao and his sister suspended their trip to Yangshan for safety reasons.

Then, due to the melting of the ice and snow, the marks they had made on the ice disappeared, and it would take some time to find the route again.

As a result, information about Yangshan's rapid development has not yet reached the people of Furong Valley.

At this moment, the group of people had arrived at the port of Meteor Island.

When the Meteor Island patrol team at the port saw that Ma Gaoxuan and his group had an extraordinary demeanor, they immediately rushed over and inquired about the group's background.

Ma Gaoxuan didn't hide anything and bluntly stated that he was the leader of the Hibiscus Valley Refuge and wanted to meet the island lord of Meteor Island.

Upon hearing this, the patrol team dared not delay and immediately led the group into the island.

Meanwhile, Yang Mei and the others in Yangshan were also frowning with worry.

It has been more than half a month since Liang Yuan entered the floating island, and he still hasn't returned.

Although spaceships returned every month to deliver messages, Yang Mei and the others still couldn't help but worry.
