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

Chapter 323: Chapter 157 Setting Sail_3

Dong Jie rolled his eyes, too lazy to expose his sister.

But he still reminded her, ”Sis, that lady next to Brother Liang is really pretty. You’re under a lot of pressure, huh.”

Dong Yan couldn’t help but smack Dong Jie on the head. ”You’re talking too much!”

Though she said that, her eyes still couldn’t help but glance at the beautiful woman next to Liang Yuan.

Her mind kept wondering, ’Who is she?’ and similar questions.

Liang Minru led Zhu Linlin and Yu Xiaoyan, closely following Elder Lin.

Her gaze also frequently looked towards Liang Yuan, especially at the woman beside him, Yang Mei.

”Sister Minru, that woman, is she Liang Yuan’s woman? Besides having a bigger chest, there’s nothing special about her.” Yu Xiaoyan said in a low voice.

Liang Minru didn’t speak. Zhu Linlin snorted, ”I think that woman is not as good-looking as Sister Minru. Sister Minru, once we get to Yangshan, you’ll have a chance to get close to Liang Yuan. By then, he won’t be able to escape you.”

Liang Minru glanced at the two of them and said in a low voice, ”Stop talking, this is not the place to talk. Remember, our biggest asset as women is ourselves.”

She turned back, taking a deep look at Yang Mei next to Liang Yuan.

Her eyes focused on Yang Mei’s ample figure, then looked down at herself, her lips curving in a small smile.

She was not much smaller than that woman.

”Hmph, so this is what you like.”

Liang Minru snorted inwardly, seemingly having some thoughts.

...

”Huang Han, be careful.”

Wu Ying followed behind Huang Han, urgently admonishing her.

But Huang Han’s eyes were not on him, instead anxiously looking into the water.

A giant golden python in the water was swimming with its head held high.

It was her pet golden python.

Wu Ying felt a bit dejected as she didn’t turn back or acknowledge him.

Wang An, walking behind with his daughter, saw this and couldn’t help but smile and shake his head.

He could easily tell that Wu Ying, the patrol captain, had an interest in Huang Han.

But to no avail, Huang Han didn’t seem to have any thought for the short-statured Wu Ying.

”Captain Wu, is your luggage heavy? Want me to carry it?” Wang An joked.

Wu Ying quickly shook his head. ”It’s fine, I can carry it. There’s even Huang Han’s stuff here.”

Wang An sighed and advised, ”Captain Wu, if you want to pursue someone, you should do it more confidently. This isn’t working.”

Wu Ying’s face instantly showed embarrassment as he hurriedly said, ”Old Wang, you misunderstood. I didn’t mean that; I... I...”

He didn’t dare admit that he secretly liked Huang Han. Being short, he had always felt inferior since childhood.

He lacked the courage to face his feelings directly.

Wang An could only sigh, ”Women are never won through chasing. Look at Mr. Liang, surrounded by beautiful women. Who did he ever chase?”

”A man must have strength and confidence. Naturally, women will notice.” Wu Ying was taken aback, staring blankly at Huang Han walking away, his expression somewhat forlorn.

He was just an ordinary person who had managed to latch onto Liang Yuan because he had some smarts.

But in reality, he hadn’t awakened any superpowers and wasn’t particularly handsome or tall. Why would any girl be interested in him?

He had heard that Huang Han’s family was quite well-off. After all, only a wealthy family could afford to keep a golden python as a pet.

So, he always felt inferior in front of Huang Han.

When they were in the building, they were all in the same patrol team, spending their days together, so it was easier to talk.

But now, they were leaving the building to go to Yangshan. He didn’t even know if they would still be in the same team, or what Mr. Liang’s arrangements would be for everyone.

He was unsure if Mr. Liang would even let him continue as the patrol captain.

Thus, he didn’t dare express his feelings to Huang Han.

He felt that the distance between him and her might just keep growing larger, like it was now.

...

”Lili, wait for me!”

Zhang Peng, carrying several bags, followed Wen Lili.

Wen Lili stepped onto the raft, her face full of excitement. ”Hurry up, we’re finally leaving. I feel so anxious, but also excited.”

Zhang Peng complained a little, ”Who knows what the situation is like up ahead? Honestly, I think we could have stayed in the building. I don’t believe the rain will keep pouring, and if the flood continues to rise, who could survive?”

Wen Lili frowned upon hearing this.

Zhang Peng was good in many ways, he could cook and was diligent, but he lacked initiative.

Even in the face of a major flood, his character hadn’t changed much.

Wen Lili couldn’t help but say, ”How many times have I explained to you? Staying here is like a frog in boiling water. Mr. Liang has already told us back at Tiantai Mountain, and you were there. How come you didn’t take any of it in?”

Zhang Peng responded, somewhat resentfully, ”Mr. Liang, Mr. Liang, you always talk about Mr. Liang. Is he always right? I don’t think so.”

Wen Lili immediately got angry, ”Are you looking to die? Saying such things at home in front of me is one thing, but do you see where we are now?”

”Mr. Liang is not someone you can talk about. Don’t forget how we got to be patrol members!”

”We’re just ordinary people. Why are we even in the patrol?”

”Mr. Liang gave us this opportunity, never forget that!”

Zhang Peng looked around nervously, seeing no one was paying attention, he sighed in relief.

He quickly apologized, ”I was just saying, why do you always bring up Mr. Liang? He already has women.”

There was some sourness in his words, and even across the raging floodwaters, Wen Lili could smell it.

Wen Lili felt speechless but could only urge, ”Stop talking and come on. Find a good spot, don’t stay near the edge.”

Zhang Peng, seeing her urging, was not angry but instead happy, and immediately chased after her.

The crowd of dozens had their own stories.

Liang Yuan stood on the corridor, watching the scene, his heart filled with emotion.

This is probably what life is all about.

”Brother Liang, it’s our turn.”

Zhao Kai watched as others boarded the raft, then turned to Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan nodded, ”Alright, let’s go.”

Zhao Kai immediately reinforced the ice, and Liang Yuan held Yang Mei’s delicate hand, boarding the second level of the raft under everyone’s gaze.

Ding Yan, Liu Feifei, Song Wen, and others were already waiting, and the women gathered around Yang Mei, chatting quietly among themselves.

Liang Yuan turned back, looking at Building 76.

The corridor was filled with people who chose to stay.

Liang Yuan exchanged glances with them.

Some looked away, not daring to meet his eyes.

Some had mocking eyes, silently sneering.

Others yet were indifferent, seemingly numbed by the apocalyptic flood.

Liang Yuan sighed softly, then turned to the rushing waters, shouting to Zhao Kai below, ”Yang Fan, set sail!”

Zhao Kai nodded and pulled on the rope at the mast.

With a rustle, the canvas dropped, the rain and wind hitting the triangular sail.

The raft started moving slowly, breaking the waves, heading towards the future.
