Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food

Chapter 198: Chapter 116: Underwater Attack, Crossing a Hundred Meters of Water

”Brother Liang, you were looking for me?”

Before long, Ding Yan brought Zhao Kai up.

Liang Yuan asked, ”How’s your superpower coming along?”

Zhao Kai immediately responded, ”Not bad, the release speed has greatly improved.”

”Let’s test it. If we need to reach the building opposite, can you estimate how long it would take?”

Liang Yuan pointed towards the building at 75 and spoke.

Zhao Kai turned his head. Liang Yuan had already told him that once his frost superpower was honed, he would take him to explore the surrounding buildings.

So lately, he had been practicing the speed of activating his superpower.

He estimated and said, ”From here to that building, it’s about a hundred meters.”

”I freeze the surface of the water to form ice blocks. I can cover roughly three meters per block, which is the maximum distance that can bear our weight. Any further, and the thickness isn’t sufficient, making the ice layer prone to breaking.”

”Based on three meters each time, I need to activate my power thirty-four times to cover a hundred meters. Right now, I can manage about fifty activations at my limit, which is enough.”

He quickly calculated and then explained his situation to Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan slightly nodded and said, ”Good. But for this hundred meters, you don’t need to freeze the entire way. We’ll take a raft first, and if we encounter a crisis, that’s when you’ll need to act.”

Zhao Kai was taken aback and couldn’t help but ask, ”Crisis?”

Liang Yuan looked at the turbulent floodwaters and said solemnly, ”Mutated creatures in the water.”

In his mind, he instinctively recalled killing Chen Hong a few days ago and the giant octopus, which was attracted by the blood.

Creatures of that magnitude were beyond his current ability to handle.

Just the scene of it swinging its tentacle and smashing the corridor was enough to kill any mutant ability user.

”Unfortunately, although my spiritual power is high, I lack powerful spiritual power skills and can only use it for telekinesis.”

Spiritual telekinesis was useful but mainly for manipulating objects in reality.

However, during the last fish encounter, he had slowly discovered some new applications.

If he encountered another monster like the giant octopus, he might try attacking its sea of consciousness.

In close combat, with his current strength attribute of 6.8, he feared it wouldn’t suffice.

”Remember, do not fall into the water. You’ve seen those mutant fish. Once you fall in, they’ll devour you within minutes, leaving no bones.”

Liang Yuan reminded Zhao Kai again.

The reason for bringing Zhao Kai along was his ability to freeze floodwaters.

If the raft were to damage and sink, Zhao Kai could quickly freeze the floodwater, preventing them from falling in without a foothold.

Underwater was always the domain of the mutant fish.

Zhao Kai nodded seriously, ”I understand.”

Ding Yan couldn’t help but say, ”Wait a minute, what about me? Aren’t you taking me?”

Liang Yuan turned to her and said, ”Zhao Kai’s ice layer can only support two people. If we bring you along, the ice coverage area will decrease further, making it too dangerous.”

”Besides, with Zhao Kai and me leaving Building 76, we still need you to hold the fort here.”

”Old Ma and Brother Cai are still ordinary people. Though Song Wen and Liu Feifei are superpower users, they are too inexperienced, and I’m not reassured.”

Liang Yuan’s words left Ding Yan with no choice.

But she knew he was right; Building 76 was their stronghold and must not have any incidents.

So, this was the best plan for the moment.

”Sigh, only because it’s you saying this. If it were someone else, I wouldn’t care so much.”

She grumbled and added, ”Remember to kill that one who throws stone piers.”

Liang Yuan smiled slightly, ”Don’t worry, if I find him, I won’t hold back.”

”Well then... be careful.”

Liang Yuan nodded and immediately took Zhao Kai to the thirteenth floor.

Arriving at the thirteenth floor, Liang Yuan found that the floodwater had risen again.

Originally, it only submerged half of the twelfth floor, but now it reached the vicinity of the thirteenth floor.

Zhao Kai also noticed this problem and couldn’t help but say, ”The water level is rising too fast.”

Liang Yuan looked serious, ”I’m afraid the underground river has also flooded. With the continuous rain, there’s nowhere for the water to go, so the level rises quickly.”

Zhao Kai muttered, ”Where do you think all this water comes from? Could there be this much water on Blue Star?”

Liang Yuan shook his head, ”Who could know?”

No one was fishing on the thirteenth floor anymore; the fishermen had moved to the fourteenth floor.

At the thirteenth floor stairway, some people had set up fish traps, and in rooms 1301 and 1302, people were casting nets by the windows.

As for the fish nets, they were simply made from mosquito nets and other similar materials.

The durability wasn’t great but was somewhat useful, and with luck, they could catch a few fish.

Liang Yuan and Zhao Kai entered the living room of 1301. The owners casting nets saw Liang Yuan and immediately greeted him respectfully.

”Mr. Liang.”

”Mr. Liang, what brings you here?”

Liang Yuan slightly nodded and said, ”We have some business. Please leave for now.”

The two didn’t dare to say more, quickly packing up their nets and leaving the room.

However, they were both curious and stayed near the door to see what Liang Yuan intended to do.

Liang Yuan didn’t pay them any mind. He looked at the water surface and gently waved his hand.

Boom!

A yellow plastic plank, in the shape of a boat, appeared out of thin air, splashing as it landed on the water.

It was a kickboard, which Liang Yuan had found while scavenging for supplies in Unit 6.

This item was commonly used for recreational water activities during summer, typically by adults.

It was suitable for short distances but definitely not for long journeys.
