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

Chapter 799 Enduring the Thunderstorm
Liang Yuan had considered that the ice and snow would melt, and the water level would rise, making Yangshan precarious.

But he never imagined that the ice and snow would melt in just half a month.

This speed is too fast, it's abnormally fast.

Upon arriving at the landing site, Zhou Haoran quickly led Liang Yuan onto a spaceship.

The spaceship took off, and with a whoosh, it left Flying Manta Ray Island and entered the high sky.

Liang Yuan looked around and said, "There are quite a few fewer mutated beasts now?"

Zhou Haoran laughed and said, "Everyone knows that you can earn points by hunting mutated beasts, so they come out to hunt whenever they have time."

"On the one hand, it can improve my spaceship piloting skills, and on the other hand, it can also earn me some points."

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "It seems to be working well."

"Hehe, more than half of it has been cleaned up."

"Speaking of which, everyone feels like they don't have enough points. The ones they just earned are all spent in the base's shop," Zhou Haoran said helplessly.

Liang Yuan asked in surprise, "Are the items in the base's online store really that popular?"

Zhou Haoran couldn't help but say, "Don't you know? Every time something goes on the shelves in the base's online store, it's immediately sold out."

"Now Shi Haizhu is in charge of the warehouse. He has already started to restrict our consumption. We only receive new stock once a week, and after it's empty, we have to wait for the next shipment."

Liang Yuan was taken aback: "Is it really that outrageous? I don't remember there being many special goods inside."

When Lao Ma and his team were building the base, they specially built a small supermarket.

The supermarket wasn't very big, about 200 square meters, and it didn't have many goods; most of them were small items that Liang Yuan had exchanged.

Foods like instant noodles and hot pot base mainly contain additives, as well as some snacks that are easy to store.

Of course, there will also be some clothing and personal items.

He didn't recall having any valuable items on the shelves.

Zhou Haoran said excitedly, "Mr. Liang, aren't the things in our store special? Let's not even talk about instant noodles, hot pot base, oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar. Those industrialized items like clothes, shoes, sanitary napkins, toothbrushes and so on would definitely have been inconspicuous before the Great Flood."

"But what time is it now? It's after the great flood, and all industrialization is long gone."

Even at Mengya Company, basic necessities like oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar aren't widely available yet. It's not easy for ordinary people to get these things.

Liang Yuan asked in surprise, "What? Are resources so scarce over there in Mengya? Don't they grow soybeans or anything like that?"

You should know that soy sauce and similar products are made from soybeans, so theoretically, as long as there are soybeans, soy sauce should be able to be made.

Zhou Haoran smiled wryly: "We have soybeans and wheat, but these things are not easy to grow. Without sunlight, these plants grow very slowly and cannot keep up with the consumption of so many people in the Sprout Company."

"Therefore, the annual soybean yield is scarce, not to mention other soy products. At present, soy sauce and the like are only available to wealthy families, and it is very difficult for ordinary families to obtain them."

Liang Yuan suddenly realized that, because of the mutated sunflowers in Yangshan, most plants could receive sufficient sunlight and grow very quickly.

Even with research and hybridization by the Ministry of Agriculture, some mutant soybeans are already able to ripen once a month.

Zhou Haoran then asked, "Do you know why Sprout Company is so eager to quickly occupy more floating islands?"

Upon hearing this, Liang Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately said, "Because the floating islands have sunlight? They are more suitable for developing agricultural crops?"

Zhou Haoran nodded: "That's right. Mengya Company occupies a total of four floating islands in Yuzhou Province. Three of them are suitable for living, but did you know that Mengya Company only used one of the floating islands to build the Mengya Sky Headquarters Base? The other three islands are being developed into plantations."

"With three floating islands responsible for growing crops, how could Sprout Company possibly lack food?"

Liang Yuan was somewhat surprised.

Zhou Haoran shook his head: "This work only started recently. You may not know, but although the development of rune technology in the North is faster than in the South, the progress of spaceship technology is only a matter of this year."

"It has only been about half a year since Mengya Company was able to break through the thunderclouds and enter the sky."

"Half a year is not enough time for crops to grow, so the Sprout Company is actually still short of resources."

Liang Yuan then understood, and he couldn't help but ask again, "What about Kerry Technology Company and that so-called Divine Kingdom?"

Zhou Haoran said, "It's the same for everyone. Everyone is short of food. Before entering the floating island, everyone basically grows mushrooms and other plants that don't need much sunlight to grow quickly."

Liang Yuan nodded, seemingly lost in thought.

In the future water world, the main competition among various shelters will be for population. Whoever controls more people will be able to develop into a super shelter.

However, the larger the population, the greater the challenge to the shelter.

With so many people, you have to support them, right?
If there's no food and no water, who will stay in your shelter?
Don't be fooled by the fact that Wang Tianan claimed Kerry Technology Company had a population of over 100,000 when he was fighting with Liang Yuan.

However, that's because Yuzhou Province is only so big, and there's only so much space to stay.

Those who were alive had nowhere to go but to either seek survival on the territory of Kerry Technology or on the territory of Sprout Company.

Previously, Liang Yuan was unclear why Kerry Technology Company had so many people.

However, it was only through Wang Yun, Yang Bingbing, and others that Liang Yuan learned just how incompetent the senior management of Mengya Company was.

Who would dare go to a place where they could never protect the women around them?

If these people don't go to Sprout Company, they will naturally flow to Kerry Technology Company.

That's why Kerry Technology has such a large workforce.

Liang Yuan estimated that the population of Kerry Technology Company might be two or three times that of Sprout Company.

In other words, the company, Mengya, probably has at most 30,000 to 50,000 employees.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Zhou Haoran and ask, "Does Mengya Company have a large workforce?"

Zhou Haoran shook his head slightly: "Not many. Mengya Company did a population census last time, and the total population was only 30,000, of which more than 20,000 were men and less than 10,000 were women." "Moreover, this number is decreasing month by month, and the senior management has held many meetings about this."

"But... how should I put it, Jin Shirong is stubborn, arrogant and conceited, and he will never listen to his subordinates."

"Moreover, he is ruthless and has a capricious temper. Ordinary people dare not give him advice. So, although everyone has held a meeting and knows where the problems of Mengya Company are, no one dares to mention them."

"Because the one who abducted the most women was Kim Se-yong, the leader of the nascent group."

"Then, among the other directors, there are quite a few like Hu Wei."

"How could a management team like this possibly manage a shelter well?"

He shook his head, his face showing considerable disdain.

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "It's really strange that the sprout has developed to this scale today."

Zhou Haoran shook his head: "It's not surprising. What capable man wouldn't want to sleep with countless women? Many geniuses in the R&D department keep many women on their hands."

"Those who lack ability can only stay away from this place."

"It can be said that Mengya Company is the true survivor of the fittest."

Liang Yuan laughed and said, "Now that you mention it, those who can stay in the budding stage are all truly capable people?"

"Yes, I have to admit that," Zhou Haoran nodded.

While the two were talking, the spaceship had already reached the sky above the clouds.

"Mr. Liang, the spaceship is about to enter the thundercloud, please be seated," the pilot in front reminded him, turning around.

Liang Yuan suddenly said, "Wait a minute."

Everyone was stunned, and the pilot quickly hovered the spaceship in mid-air.

Zhou Haoran quickly asked, "Mr. Liang, what's wrong?"

"Open the hatch, I have something to verify," Liang Yuan said.

Although Zhou Haoran didn't know what Liang Yuan was going to do, he still quickly ordered the hatch to be opened.

As the hatch opened, Liang Yuan strode out, his figure appearing above the clouds.

Zhou Haoran and the pilots on the spaceship quickly looked at Liang Yuan.

"What is Mr. Liang trying to do?"

"Captain Zhou, do you know?"

Zhou Haoran's expression turned solemn as he watched Liang Yuan fly directly into the clouds below.

"Mr. Liang has gone into the clouds?"

"Hiss, only a spaceship's defensive shield can withstand the thunderstorm in those clouds. Mr. Liang... what is he planning to do?"

"Captain Zhou, should we go and rescue Mr. Liang?"

Zhou Haoran's expression turned serious, and he immediately said, "Follow them!"

"Yes!"

The pilot nodded quickly, swiftly closed the hatch, and then hurriedly began operating the spacecraft.

With a whoosh, the spaceship sped up to catch up with Liang Yuan and headed into the clouds.

Rumble!
As soon as we entered the clouds, we were met with terrifying thunderous roars.

The terrifying thunder roared incessantly, and the surrounding lightning flashed like blinding orbs of light.

Electrons in the air collided with each other, emitting intense flashes of light.

For a moment, the entire cloud layer alternated between darkness and light.

Where is Mr. Liang?

"Where?"

Everyone hurriedly searched for Liang Yuan's figure.

Suddenly, Zhou Haoran looked straight ahead, his pupils shrinking sharply.

But then, a burst of lightning suddenly blazed brightly from within the terrifying thunderclouds.

In Zhou Haoran's field of vision, a giant creature emerged from the clouds!

This creature was enormous, reaching a terrifying height of over seventy meters!

Its four limbs stood upright in the clouds, bombarded by terrifying thunder and lightning that struck its massive body relentlessly.

The terrifying lightning struck it, exploding with a deafening roar. Countless electric currents instantly swirled around its body before being rapidly absorbed.

However, these lightning bolts were so dense that at first glance, it seemed as if the creature was surrounded by lightning, which kept exploding on its golden armor.

Its mane flew wildly around its neck, and its coral-shaped, jade-colored horn on its head emitted a terrifying arc of light.

"This...this is...Mr. Liang!"

Zhou Haoran's face turned pale with shock, and his breathing became heavy involuntarily.

The pilot standing nearby couldn't help but ask, "Is that Mr. Liang? What is Mr. Liang doing?"

Zhou Haoran's face showed disbelief: "He's actually using his physical body to withstand the thunderstorm!"
