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

Chapter 322: Chapter 157 Setting Sail_2

”Brother, once you’re settled, you should take her.”

”And Song Wen, she’s very pretty too, much gentler than Ding Yan, an excellent helper...”

”Slap—!”

Yang Mei hadn’t finished speaking when Liang Yuan slapped her on the butt.

”Ah—”

Yang Mei exclaimed in surprise, looking at Liang Yuan with teary eyes.

Liang Yuan glared at her: ”If you dare talk nonsense again, I’ll teach you a lesson now. Don’t think just because I got rid of the bed that I’m powerless.”

Yang Mei’s face instantly turned red, and her coquettish manner disappeared in a flash.

She punched Liang Yuan in the chest: ”Stupid brother, what are you babbling about in the middle of the day!”

Liang Yuan couldn’t help but laugh, lightly tapping her delicate nose: ”We’re about to depart, don’t say such ominous things.”

”Don’t casually set up these kinds of flags, just hearing them makes my hair stand on end.”

Yang Mei burst into laughter and said: ”Sorry, I just couldn’t hold it in.”

”Alright, let’s go upstairs and check together,” Liang Yuan said with a smile.

Holding her delicate hand, the two of them went to the rooftop.

On the rooftop, the personnel transport was almost complete.

Old Ma, Cai Zhi, and others found Liang Yuan and reported the current situation.

A total of eighty-three people were going with them.

This didn’t include the more than twenty people on Yang Shenmin’s raft.

Including them, there would be slightly over a hundred people.

There were three rafts, with roughly thirty people on each raft.

Fortunately, Old Ma and Cai Zhi had anticipated this number and had already modified the rafts accordingly.

The shelters on two of the rafts were designed with two levels.

Within the weight-bearing range, space was utilized to avoid overcrowding.

Additionally, the rafts were equipped with railings.

To prevent sudden accidents and people falling off the rafts.

Everyone boarding the rafts also made preparations themselves, wearing life jackets or similar gear.

Those without life jackets tied foam boards to themselves for increased buoyancy.

There were also many ropes, wooden poles, and other rescue equipment around the rafts.

Everything that could be considered had been arranged by Old Ma and his team.

This journey had been prepared meticulously.

Liang Yuan nodded slightly upon hearing their report and said, ”Alright, we’re ready for what we need to prepare.”

”Let the rafts down.”

”Okay!” Old Ma and Cai Zhi responded simultaneously.

The two exchanged excited glances.

”Rafts ready for water!”

Old Ma shouted, and the people responsible for lowering the rafts began to act immediately.

They had already set up an ascent and descent ladder between building 75 and 76.

With the help of the people from building 77 and the team here, they pulled the ropes tied to the corners of the rafts together.

Rafts from unit 6 slowly moved between the two buildings.

Everyone worked together to lower the rafts gently into the turbulent water.

Controlling the speed, in under ten minutes, the rafts were safely in the water.

With a splash, water sprayed up.

The rafts settled steadily in the water, bobbing up and down a bit, but floated safely under everyone’s watchful eyes.

Old Ma let out a sigh of relief.

Cai Zhi grinned broadly and shouted excitedly with clenched fists, ”Success!”

People on the rooftop cheered one after another.

Liang Yuan also smiled.

Next, the rafts from unit 1 floated down successfully, prompting more cheers.

Then the rafts from building 75 also successfully landed in the water.

With everything ready, Liang Yuan gave the order for the patrol teams to quickly organize everyone to go downstairs.

Zhao Kai froze the surface of the water, creating an icy path leading to the rafts for everyone to board.

Liang Yuan personally secured two rafts together to increase stability.

Cai Zhi took his wife’s hand, Wu Qian, and his daughter’s hand, Cai Yao, and excitedly climbed onto the raft. He said to his wife and daughter, ”I built this raft myself. Honey, Yaoyao, come up and take a look.”

Wu Qian smiled and said, ”Isn’t someone proud.”

Cai Yao cheered, ”Dad, you’re amazing.”

Cai Zhi laughed heartily. Long held frustrations of not awakening a mutated ability had always been his concern.

But completing the raft with Old Ma had restored his confidence.

Ma Guocai supported his wife Li Lanhua, and they were already standing on the raft.

”Old Li, see, my old bones are still useful,” Old Ma smiled.

Granny Li beamed: ”Useful? You’re the most useful.”

”Everyone remembers your contributions, you’ve worked hard lately. I bet you skipped breakfast again? Look what I saved for you.”

She pulled out two items from her pocket and handed them to her husband Ma Guocai.

Old Ma looked and was pleasantly surprised: ”Eggs? How do you still have eggs?”

In the apocalypse, eggs were already hard to come by.

Granny Li whispered: ”Liang Yuan secretly gave them to me. He said we should eat more high-protein food because of our age. I didn’t tell anyone else. Your chest injury needs protein recovery, eat both eggs.”

Old Ma was moved and looked towards Liang Yuan, who was organizing people over at the building, grateful: ”Xiaoliang is a good person. With him around, everyone has a backbone.”

”Indeed, this young man, why didn’t we notice his excellence earlier? He should join the party.”

Old Ma couldn’t help but laugh.

People were moving onto the rafts in pairs and groups.

Dong Yan held her brother Dong Jie and kept looking back towards Liang Yuan.

Noticing, Dong Jie said: ”Sis, watch your step. Brother Liang isn’t going anywhere.”

Dong Yan’s face flushed, she turned and glared at Dong Jie: ”What nonsense are you spouting? Who said I’m looking at Brother Liang? I’m checking on our building’s owners.”
