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

Chapter 802 Changes in the Mirage Serpent Space

The Mirage Serpent Space has always been devoid of light, as it is an independent space without any stars to illuminate it.

When Wu Yaobang established Eden in Xiaomaoshan, he dared not light any lamps in the middle of the night, for fear that the light would attract mutated beasts to attack.

Now that Liang Yuan and his group have occupied the Mirage Serpent Space and hunted down most of the powerful mutated beasts there, things have changed.

They directly altered the local ecology by planting mutated sunflowers.

Not only are sunflowers covering the entire Xiaomaoshan Mountain, but even the buildings that emerge from the water are planted with mutated sunflowers by passersby so they can come back again.

It can be said that although there is no sun in the Mirage Serpent Space, there is sunlight everywhere humans pass by.

Especially on Xiaomaoshan Mountain, due to the large-scale planting of mutated sunflowers, it has become a glowing mountain that can be clearly seen throughout the Mirage Serpent Space.

Logically speaking, such a radiant Xiaomaoshan should have attracted a large number of mutated creatures.

However, this is not actually the case. There are countless masters on Xiaomaoshan Mountain, not to mention those at the level of gene recombination, there are quite a few at the level of gene seed perfection.

With so many powerful experts guarding the area, which foolish mutated beast would dare to approach?
It should be noted that Liang Yuan had already cleared out Xiaomaoshan once before he occupied it.

Among all the mutated beasts in the entire Mirage Serpent Space, there are very few even genetically modified mutated beasts, and they have all been captured and tamed by Liang Yuan.

Although it's possible that new mutant beasts have evolved over this long period of time, these mutant beasts have clearly realized the power of humans and dare not approach areas where humans are active.

For humans in the Mirage Serpent Space, this is definitely the safest place to live.

Liang Yuan and his men's warships sailed through the waters toward Xiaomaoshan.

Before even reaching Xiaomaoshan, Liang Yuan could see that many floating structures had already been built in the waters near Xiaomaoshan.

Most of these buildings are made of bamboo and wood.

From a distance, they look like towns on the water.

Liang Yuan frowned and asked, "Have the residents not been provided with accommodation yet? Why are they all living on the water?"

Dong Yan couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's not that these people don't have a place to live; it's that they want to be closer to Xiaomaoshan, so they built their houses directly on the water."

“They all have assigned houses nearby, some are far away and some are close. Some people are afraid of the trouble, so they just take a boat here and make it their home.”

Liang Yuan was both amused and exasperated; so that was the reason.

Isn't this just like a city center before the apocalypse, gradually radiating outwards, with people spontaneously building houses and such?

Liang Yuan thought for a moment and said, "This situation also needs to be addressed. With so many people crowding the river, how can Xiaomaoshan's fleet travel?"

Dong Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry, the management department has already taken care of this. There are certain mooring fees charged on the nearby rivers, and there are also special public boats in Xiaomaoshan. There are no fees for taking public boats."

"Then, a special area was built on the back mountain where boats are prohibited from mooring, specifically for our warships to travel."

Liang Yuan couldn't help but laugh: "Isn't a public transport ferry just like a bus?"

“Yes, there’s a dedicated route that runs to and from Xiaomaoshan every day. It only costs one point, and there are twenty-four boats going back and forth every day, one trip per hour. It’s very convenient,” Dong Yan said with a smile.

Liang Yuan couldn't help but sigh. Sure enough, Yangshan has now officially developed and can operate very well even without him.

Now, he no longer needs to worry about the Yangshan Refuge. He receives a large number of points every day, which he can accumulate for his lottery draws.

This feeling is so amazing.

Soon the ship arrived at the port of Xiaomaoshan, and Liang Yuan saw several familiar figures standing in front of the milk tea shop at the port dock from afar.

"Brother Liang, it's Sister Mei and Sister Wen!"

Dong Yan also saw the people at the entrance of the milk tea shop and immediately waved and shouted excitedly.

"Sister Mei! Sister Wen! Sister Lin Ya! Brother Liang is back."

As soon as she opened her mouth, she immediately attracted the attention of many people nearby.

Upon seeing Liang Yuan on the boat, everyone around them beamed with joy.

"Oh, it's Mr. Liang!"

"Mr. Liang is back!"

“I feel like it’s been more than a month since I last saw Mr. Liang.”

"It won't take that long, but it will definitely be at least half a month. A relative of mine said that he saw Mr. Liang when there was a big meeting in Yangshan half a month ago."

"It's good that Mr. Liang is back. I always feel uneasy when he's not around."

"Haha, Mr. Liang is the sky above our shelter. If he's not here, it feels like the sky is going to fall."

"Miss Yang Mei and the others have also come to pick up Mr. Liang."

……

There was a constant murmur of conversation around them, and everyone was genuinely happy to see Liang Yuan.

Because they know very well that Yangshan's current scale is largely thanks to Liangyuan's development.

Those who got up early to follow Liang Yuan understood the tremendous changes that had taken place in Yangshan in just two short years.

Their gratitude and loyalty to Liang Yuan are unimaginable to later generations.

Liang Yuan led Dong Yan and the others to the port and arrived at the entrance of the milk tea shop.

Yang Mei and Song Wen ran over with big smiles on their faces.

Yang Mei was two steps behind Song Wen because she was holding Liang Hong.

Song Wen threw herself into Liang Yuan's arms, completely ignoring the many people around them. Her eyes were slightly red as she said, "Brother Liang, you're finally back."

She was somewhat agitated, her eyes filled with longing.

Liang Yuan couldn't help but kiss her forehead and said, "Some things happened on the floating island, and I couldn't leave for a while. I came back as soon as I had some free time."

"Alright, alright, stop crying. So many people are watching. You're the Minister of Agriculture now."

Liang Yuan smiled softly.

Song Wen blushed instantly, looked up and saw that many people were looking at her.

She quickly stood up straight and put on her sunglasses.

Yang Mei, who was standing nearby, came over at this moment and asked with concern, "Little brother, are you hurt?"

Liang Yuan shook his head and smiled, "It's all been resolved, I'm fine." As he said this, he looked at the little guy Liang Hong in Yang Mei's arms.

Liang Hong blinked his big eyes and boldly sized up Liang Yuan.

It seemed like he hadn't seen Liang Yuan for half a month, and he felt somewhat unfamiliar with him.

Yang Mei quickly said, "Dudu, look who this is! It's Daddy! Daddy's back! Aren't you happy?"

Liang Yuan reached out and gently pinched Liang Hong's little face, smiling as he asked, "Dudu, do you still remember Daddy?"

Liang Hong burst into tears, sobbing, "Mama... Mama..."

Yang Mei's eyes widened suddenly, her face showing a mixture of surprise and delight.

"Little brother, little brother, can you hear me? Can you hear me? Dudu, Dudu is calling me, Dudu is calling for Mommy!"

Liang Yuan also showed a look of surprise and asked, "Dudu can talk now?"

Two weeks ago, when he left Yangshan, Liang Hong was still unable to speak, so he was very surprised.

Yang Mei was also very excited and said, "During this period, he would often mutter some syllables that I couldn't understand, and I knew he might be about to speak."

"It's the first time I've ever heard him call me 'Mom', haha, I'm a mom now, and he's calling me 'Mom'."

Yang Mei's eyes welled up with tears, and she couldn't help but cry.

An emotion called being moved burst forth from her chest, unable to be contained.

If there weren't so many people around, she really wanted to hug Liang Yuan and cry.

Liang Yuan was both surprised and delighted: "Haha, this little guy surprised me as soon as he came back! He can say 'Mom' now, so he'll probably learn to say 'Dad' soon, right?"

Song Wen, who was standing to the side, was also overjoyed. She immediately ran to Liang Hong's side and whispered, "Dudu, Dudu, quickly call her Auntie."

Surrounded by them, Liang Hong kept crying out for his mother.

His big eyes would sometimes steal glances at Liang Yuan.

Among those present, the only person who felt unfamiliar to him was Liang Yuan. He wasn't afraid of Song Wen and Dong Yan, who went home almost every day.

When Liang Yuan saw this, he burst into laughter.

It's obvious that this little guy is a genius.

She's so young and already knows how to be cunning.

The women were also amused by Liang Hong's little expressions and burst into laughter.

After chatting for a few minutes at the entrance of the milk tea shop, Yang Mei said, "Let's talk at home. By the way, Lin Ya cooked a lot of delicious dishes."

As she spoke, Yang Mei suddenly remembered that Lin Ya had also arrived.

She quickly turned her head and called to Lin Ya, who was standing not far away, saying, "Lin Ya, come here quickly, let's go home."

Lin Ya then walked over, and her eyes inadvertently met Liang Yuan's.

Her face flushed instantly, and she quickly looked away, going to Yang Mei's side and asking, "Are you tired? Do you want me to carry you?"

Yang Mei laughed and said, "I'm almost at the breakthrough in gene recombination, how can I tire myself out?"

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Liang Hong suddenly opened his little hands and cried loudly, wanting Lin Ya to hold him.

She was still calling out "Mama" in her mouth.

Yang Mei was stunned for a moment, then she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Lin Ya's cheeks flushed red instantly, and she said awkwardly, "This child has just learned to talk, why does he call everyone 'Mama'?"

She felt too embarrassed to hug Liang Hong at that moment.

But Liang Hong kept struggling in Yang Mei's arms, wanting her to hold him.

Helpless, Yang Mei could only hand the child over to Lin Ya, saying, "Sigh, you usually take care of him. Sometimes I come back too late and he's already asleep. No wonder he's so close to you."

Lin Ya took the child in her arms and smiled, "No, he grew up drinking your milk. Blood is thicker than water. No matter what, he's still closer to you."

Seeing this, Liang Yuan laughed and said, "So, it seems like this little guy is closer to you two than to me, right?"

Yang Mei chuckled and said, "When you come back this time, spend more time with him at home, and he'll naturally become closer to you."

Liang Yuan also smiled and said, "I won't be going out for a while now that I'm back. I'll take a good rest."

"The other floating islands should be arriving soon, and there will be quite a few things to take care of then."

Upon hearing this, the girls immediately became happy.

The group walked out of the milk tea shop, preparing to leave.

Liang Yuan then looked up and glanced at the second floor of the milk tea shop.

On the second floor, a charming woman in a cheongsam leaned against the railing, looking at him with a resentful expression.

Liang Yuan had already sensed her gaze, but he hadn't responded.

Just before leaving, he exchanged a glance with her.

Liang Yuan then turned his face away and continued chatting and laughing with the women as he walked home.

The woman in the cheongsam on the second floor pouted and sighed.

"Oh, our Minister Zhuang, why didn't you go and say hello?" In the shop, Milk White was stirring the milk tea in her hands and asked with a grin.

Zhuang Shuyuan turned her head and glared at her, saying, "You brat, you're asking for a beating!"

Bai Zhilei chuckled, stuck out her tongue, and said, "Go ahead and hit me. If you break it, I'll go and complain to Mr. Liang."

"Fine, you brat, you still dare to talk back!"

"Wow—Sister Zhuang, are you serious?"

"Hey, you brat, how dare you grope my chest?"

"Who told you to pinch me first?"
