Chapter 178: Sweeping the Underwater Area
"But even if we find it, we may not be able to get through it in a short time. Guangfu is not close to our place. It boasts an area."
Ding Yan's excitement gradually calmed down, and she nodded: "You are right, Guangfu is too far away from here."
"Even if you have a boat, if you want to go to Guangfu, you have to travel across districts. There are more and more mutated creatures in the water, which is really dangerous."
Liang Yuan nodded: "Collect information first and see Let’s see if we can get in touch with the outside world, and then we’ll find a way. The first priority is to go to Yangshan and find a place to stay.”
Ding Yan also nodded immediately and said: "I just told those women not to spread the word about this matter, so as not to cause unrest in people's hearts."
Liang Yuan hummed: "You do it That’s right, this news is temporarily blocked.”
A few people were talking, and Dong Jie had already turned the tuning knob on the radio several times. Apart from noise, no effective signal could be heard on the radio. .
"Brother Liang Yuan, no signal was found."
Liang Yuan frowned, thought for a while, and said: "It seems that Wang Fang's [radiation] power really played a role. , ordinary radios, we can’t find the so-called military signals at all.”
"What should we do?" Ding Yan couldn't help but ask.
Liang Yuan shook his head: "There is no way at the moment. I guess it has something to do with the weather. When we go back to the mountain, let's go to the top of the mountain and try again to see if we can find a signal."
"That's the only way. ”
Everyone’s anxiety and excitement calmed down, and their emotions became stable.
Liang Yuan chatted with a few more people and placed the radio next to Dong Jie.
Told him to search if nothing happened, maybe he could find something unexpected.
After the two of them finished speaking, Liang Yuan stood up and left.
"While everyone is resting, go downstairs and have a look."
He went all the way down from the 26th floor to the flooded area.
This is the floor he and Gu Feng climbed up to. At this time, the water level has risen a little.
Liang Yuan took the fire stairs this time and walked all the way into the water.
After entering the water, he immediately activated his special ability.
Heat flow surged from his heart to behind his ears. Behind his ears, organs for underwater breathing evolved, gills!
After adapting for a while, Liang Yuan's mental energy dispersed, and at the same time his eyes evolved a protective film.
The further you go down, the darker the water becomes.
Floating objects can be seen floating in the water everywhere, and dense objects are deposited on the corridor.
Most items that have been soaked in water are no longer usable.
There were only some vacuum-packed or well-sealed items, and Liang Yuan stuffed them into the inventory.
The lower floors are all ordinary clothing and clothing shopping malls. There are many shells, crabs, and small mutant fish hanging around in the shopping mall.
Even if clothes are soaked, they can still be worn as long as they are not worn for a long time.
These floors have only been flooded in the past few days, and the quality of the clothes is pretty good.
Liang Yuan puts all items in the inventory.
But on the lower floors, most of the clothes in the shops have been soaked and faded, obviously they have been soaked for too long.
These clothes can be worn, but they are definitely not as good-looking as the new ones.
Liang Yuan still refused all comers and took them all away.
Before the industry recovers in the future, the production raw materials such as clothes will be gone, and they will probably have a certain value.
Walking down a few more floors, I felt the changes in underwater pressure. Liang Yuan's superpower was activated, transforming the pressure on the body's internal organs to adapt to underwater survival.
“Hey, this floor is the cosmetics area.”
Liang Yuan looked at the dazzling array of cosmetics around him and couldn’t help but laugh.
Of course no one cares about these things when they are hungry.
But once the problem of food and clothing is solved, business opportunities for clothes and cosmetics will inevitably come.
Especially for women, the future is a world of superpowers, where force is supreme.
If women do not awaken their powers, they will most likely be reduced to using sex to entertain others.
Cosmetics and beautiful clothes will definitely become hot items by then.
Liang Yuan hurriedly walked into one of the stores called Dior. To be honest, he really didn’t know much about cosmetics brands.
A lot of cosmetics are in English and I can’t tell them apart at all.
And as a migrant worker, all the money is used to pay off the mortgage, so it is even less likely that I know much about this kind of thing.
Even if his girlfriend asks to buy cosmetics or something, he will only be responsible for transferring money.
So he really doesn’t understand cosmetics.
But it doesn’t matter. Cosmetics that were once unattainable are now easily available.
The display cabinets were filled with a dazzling array of perfumes, lipsticks, lotions, etc. that were lying crookedly on the floor. Now he could load them into the inventory.
Besides this one, there are Burberry and YSL stores next door.
He went in one by one and swept away all the sealed cosmetics.
After sweeping this level, it took nearly half an hour.
The time is mainly spent loading things.
"I used to feel tired when shopping, but now I am still so tired when I don't spend money."
Liang Yuan sighed, packed up his mood, and continued walking downstairs.
This floor downstairs is actually filled with gold shops!
There are many old brands such as Chow Tai Fook and Lao Feng Xiang. Inside the display cabinets, a large number of gold jewelry are soaked in water and no one cares about them.
Liang Yuan’s tired mood suddenly became active.
Men seem to like gold from the bottom of their hearts.
He quickly began to sweep away, loading a large amount of gold into the system inventory.
What do you say about this thing? It is said that the flood is the end of the world and all money has become waste paper.
But as the old saying goes, gold in troubled times is antique in prosperous times.
In this world from now on, it is estimated that gold will still be a hard currency.
This thing is not afraid of corrosion and has a stable molecular structure. It plays an important role in scientific research and other aspects.
Since ancient times, it has been irreplaceable wealth.
Liang Yuan estimated that after everyone solves the problem of food and clothing, if they want to trade again, they must find something to measure the value of items.
Gold will probably become a monetary unit again by then.
After searching for this layer of gold, Liang Yuan smiled and was very satisfied with the harvest.
He walked to the window and looked outside.
In the flood, it was pitch black, and it was already around the 6th floor.
His mental power can already detect the bottom of the water.
On the cement road over there, a large amount of sediment accumulated, and in the darkness, the shadow of the giant creature flashed away.
As the undercurrent surges, you can see huge plants such as kelp and aquatic plants floating with the current.
Faintly, there are straight street lamps standing among them.
Here, an environment like the deep sea has been formed.
I don’t know how many mutated monsters are lurking in the dark algae forest.
Liang Yuan withdrew his mental power and did not continue to explore the dense water bottom.
It is like a restricted area for humans, a place that he cannot easily touch for the time being.
He continued to dive and walked downstairs.
The three floors downstairs are all large comprehensive supermarkets.
But unfortunately, all the edible things have been evacuated.
Obviously, Wang Weidong and others were not idle at the place of the flood, and immediately moved the materials here.
Only some materials that are not easy to preserve are left, and now they have been completely soaked and deteriorated.
However, daily necessities such as shampoo, laundry detergent, toothpaste and toothbrushes are still on the shelves.
Liang Yuan immediately started a sweep mode and quickly began to collect supplies.
After visiting this three-story supermarket, there is nothing available in the fresh food, aquatic products and other areas.
Liang Yuan simply gave up and headed straight to the next floor.
The penultimate floor is a sports equipment store with a lot of sports equipment, such as football and basketball.
Liang Yuan was not polite and took them all away.
There are many car shops and the like parked on the first floor, as well as sample cars.
What about BYD, Huawei, Weilai, Xiaomi...
Liang Yuan thought for a while and put all these cars directly into the inventory.
Maybe one day I can use the parts inside.
After sweeping through the entire building, his supernatural energy was almost exhausted.
Liang Yuan hurried back quickly.
When he returned to the water, he was shocked to realize that most of the day had passed. When he returned to the 26th floor, Liang Yuan saw that many of the owners who were originally lying on the ground had recovered their mobility.
However, it seems that the strength has not been fully restored. The survivors of Hang Lung Building spontaneously helped the owners of Metro Garden.
It can be seen that the survivors of Hang Lung Tower are working hard to integrate into the survivors of Metropolis Garden.
The survivors of Meidu Garden did not have much resentment towards these people. They also learned from the patrol captains that these people in front of them were ordinary people who were oppressed by Wang Weidong's gang.
Looking at these survivors of Hang Lung Tower who were cautious and wanted to blend in with themselves and others, everyone seemed to see their former selves.
For a time, a feeling of sympathy for the same people came to mind, and everyone easily accepted these poor people.
The captains of each patrol team brought back rice, mutated dried fish, instant noodles and other materials from Yangmei, and distributed them to the owners under each team's jurisdiction.
With the help of survivors of Hang Lung Tower, the owners started cooking on the spot.
For a time, the whole building became lively. Under the warm light of the mutated sunflower, the scene seemed extremely warm and peaceful.
Many survivors of Hang Lung Tower, looking at the rising stove fire and listening to the people chatting and laughing in Meidu Garden, were in a trance for a while, as if they had returned to the time before the flood.
When did such peaceful communication between people become what they yearned for most?
When Wang Weidong ruled Hang Lung Tower, everyone lived in fear.
The men were afraid that if they said the wrong thing, they would be beaten up by the security team.
Women are even afraid of going out alone because they may be dragged to a remote place and raped by strangers at any time.
Like now, chatting and laughing in front of so many strangers.
This is something I haven’t experienced in half a year.
Some mentally fragile girls suddenly covered their faces and started crying.
When one person cried, some other women began to cry.
The men in Hang Lung Tower also had red eyes.
Huang Han, who was cooking, saw the girl beside him crying, and said quickly: "Hey, why are you crying so well?"
The girl was not old, and she He was only eighteen or nineteen years old, probably still in school age. He dropped out of school early to work in a restaurant.
Trapped in the building and experiencing inhuman torture, my fragile soul was moved by the warm atmosphere and burst into tears.
Huang Han quickly spoke out to comfort her, but the girl seemed to have found an outlet and hugged her and cried bitterly.
This caught Huang Han off guard, and he looked at an elderly middle-aged woman next to him in panic.
The middle-aged woman also wiped away her tears and said, "Captain Huang, let her cry for a while. It's been a long time since we, the rest of us, have met such good people as you."
< br>Huang Han suddenly became slightly silent. She somewhat understood the psychology of these people.
I think back when she was trapped in her home in Building 76, she could hear the sound of someone banging on the door every day.
If the golden python hadn't appeared several times to scare away those people, she couldn't imagine what kind of tragic ending she would have had.
It wasn’t until Mr. Liang killed Liu Erlong, killed Wang Ze and other villains, and took over Building 76 that she truly realized the importance of peace and order.
Thinking of this, she raised her head and looked around. Suddenly she saw Liang Yuan who had just returned, and a smile appeared on her face.
"Actually, the one you should really thank is him."
The middle-aged woman and the waitress subconsciously raised their heads and followed her gaze.
"Who is he?"
"Mr. Liang, Mr. Liang Yuan." Huang Han said.
There was a hint of admiration and admiration in her expression.
“Without him, I, and even all of us, would have lived a worse life than you.”
“You were in the Hang Lung Building, and you still had a lot of supplies to eat. At that time, we , I have really run out of ammunition and food, and I may be bullied to death by evil people at any time.”
"It was Mr. Liang who saved us from that dire straits."
"I will never forget that day when he knocked on my door and saw me at the first sight. Being afraid is not a threat, it is concern. "
Huang Han smiled and recalled the past, and couldn't help but feel that things had changed, as if a long time had passed.
Wu Ying, Wang An and others on the side could not help but look back on memories.
When I think about my past self and compare it to my current life, it is really earth-shaking.
Scenes like this kept appearing among the survivors of Metropolis Garden and Hang Lung Tower.
Invisibly, Liang Yuan’s image was established among all the survivors of Hang Lung Tower.
His prestige is also constantly increasing among the owners of Meidu Garden.
Liang Yuan naturally didn't pay attention to these things. He bypassed everyone and quickly returned to the shop where Yang Mei and the others were.
Yang Mei's body has completely recovered.
After all, she has awakened her mutant ability, her physical fitness exceeds that of ordinary people, and this toxin decomposes much faster than ordinary people.
"Brother, you are back. Are you hungry? I made food."
With that said, she pulled Liang Yuan into the shop.
I saw several dishes already on the table, including fish with pickled vegetables, scrambled eggs with ham, fried peanuts, cold fungus, etc.
The rice is also hot.
Liang Yuan was surprised, and soon he noticed that Dong Jie was pressing his hands on the rice cooker to power the rice cooker.
The induction cooker on the side has just stopped working and is still steaming.
Obviously, this little guy was used as a power source.
"Xiaojie, come and eat. Thank you for your hard work. By the way, why is there pickled fish?"
Liang Yuan asked with a smile.
Yang Mei also laughed and said: "It's a lot of peppercorns that I found on the 24th floor. I always ate grilled fish or braised fish before. I thought you were tired of eating them too, so I made this pickled fish for a change. You try it."
Liang Yuan smiled and said, "I don't even have to eat it to know that it must be delicious."
Yang Mei's eyes suddenly turned into crescent moons.
She invited Dong Yan, Dong Jie, Ding Yan, Zhao Kai, and Liu Feifei to come over and eat together.
Zhao Kai still wanted to be polite, but Liang Yuan said directly: "Go and call Dr. Yang, Shi Haizhu and Gu Feng over."
Only then did Zhao Kai give up and immediately went to call someone.
This time for dinner, Lao Ma, Cai Zhi and others were not called.
First of all, they are weak and have not fully recovered, so they can only eat something light.
Secondly, those gathered here now are all those who have made merit this time.
This meal can be regarded as a reward for everyone.
"Mr. Liang, I heard from Zhao Kai, is the raft still there?"
At the dinner table, Yang Shenmin took a bite of food and quickly asked the most critical question.
Liang Yuan nodded and smiled: "It's still there. When I came back, I found that the raft was not damaged, so I hid it."
Yang Shenmin breathed a sigh of relief, his face There was a smile on the face: "It's good that it's still there, it's good that it's still there, otherwise we will have to spend a lot of effort to make it again."
"It's okay to make it again." Shi Haizhu couldn't help but say .
Yang Shenmin was speechless and said: "Do you think it is easy to make a raft? Besides, do you know how much time was wasted in the process?"
"At this water level, a giant octopus monster of more than ten meters has already appeared in the water. "The water level is getting higher and higher in the future. Who knows what monsters will appear? How can we deal with them?"
Yang Shenmin can still see clearly. He knows very well that the further back, the mutant creatures in the water will appear. The stronger.
Staying in the building will definitely lead to death.
The only way is to go to a higher mountain.
Shi Haizhu didn't think too much and blurted out: "With Mr. Liang here, what about the octopus monster, right Mr. Liang?"
Liang Yuan couldn't help laughing and said: "Doctor Yang is right, we It would be better to arrive at Yangshan earlier."
"Firstly, the mutated creatures in the flood are getting stronger and stronger. Secondly, I am worried about Yangshan. There are not many free places left on the other side of the mountain."
"Go there early, maybe there is still a place, the competition is not so fierce."
Yang Shenmin couldn't help but nodded: "Mr. Liang is right. Yes, this is also very important. Yangshan is not a high mountain. Strictly speaking, it can only be regarded as a hill with limited living space.”
"I have also been to Yangshan. There are villa areas and other residential areas nearby. Although the population density is not high, there must be a lot of people, and there are local villagers at the foot of the nearby mountains."
"These People will definitely move to the mountains early to occupy a favorable position.”
“It’s better if we rush there as soon as possible.”
Ding Yan and others also nodded in agreement. This statement.
Liang Yuan also smiled and said: "Tomorrow we will see how everyone recovers. I will ask Lao Ma and Cai Zhi to check the raft. If there is no problem, we will set off as soon as possible."
"Okay, in order to wish us a smooth journey ahead, I propose a drink."
Zhao Kai suddenly took out a few bottles of beer from behind and said with a smile.
Ding Yan asked in surprise: "Where did you get the beer?"
Zhao Kai smiled and said: "I found it in the restaurants downstairs. I chilled it. Come on, have a try."
Shi Haizhu's face was full of excitement: "I didn't expect that I could still drink wine at this time. Zhao Kai, your frost ability is so useful. It tastes so good."
< br>
Everyone burst into laughter immediately, and they ate the meal very happily.
