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

Chapter 445: Chapter 198: Hot Pot Gathering, Mutated Flying Insects_3

”But the cave can’t be completely impenetrable to light sources, otherwise if it’s fully sealed, we’d suffocate, wouldn’t we?” Shi Haizhu couldn’t help but say.

Liang Yuan shook his head: ”The cave can have smoke vents and air holes. If the openings aren’t too big, those mutated flying insects, which are quite large, won’t be able to get through.”

Zhao Kai also said, ”Yes, we lit a fire yesterday too, but it wasn’t as big as the bonfire in the parking lot. It seems they are only attracted to large light sources. If it’s a weaker light, it shouldn’t attract so many flying insects.”

Liang Yuan said in a serious tone: ”Everyone, the world is undergoing unprecedented changes. We must be very cautious in our actions. Previous common knowledge and experience might not apply anymore.”

”Let’s treat this as a lesson and slowly adapt to this new world.”

”Mr. Liang is right. We need to gradually understand this new world,” Yang Shenmin also sighed.

Everyone’s previously joyful mood turned heavy.

Liang Yuan added: ”There are quite a few mosquitoes in the forest, and these mosquitoes might have mutated too. Be careful when you sleep at night. If possible, make a door for the cave entrance. If there’s no time, at least weave a door curtain with bamboo to block it.”

Yang Shenmin also said, ”I’ll take a walk in the mountains and see if I can find any herbs to repel mosquitoes. We used to have mosquito coils, which mainly used herbs like wormwood and rosin, so the formulation should be simple.”

Everyone was immediately overjoyed.

”It would be great to make mosquito coils.”

”With mosquito coils, the environment in the cave would be better.”

”I hate mosquitoes the most.”

”Thank goodness Dr. Yang is a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. If it were a Western doctor, they probably wouldn’t know the mosquito coil formula.”

Liang Yuan couldn’t help but praise that Yang Shenmin truly had knowledge.

At least he didn’t know the mosquito coil formula.

He might think of using wormwood and realgar to repel insects, but making mosquito coils? He couldn’t do that.

He immediately instructed: ”Dr. Yang, I’ll leave this to you.”

”No problem, I’ll go to the forest tomorrow.”

”Alright, everyone disperse, go check on those bitten by moths and see if their injuries are serious. Song Wen, Wang An, Dr. Yang, you might have to work hard.”

Several people nodded to indicate it was fine.

Everyone then dispersed, each busy with their own tasks.

Liang Yuan looked at the rain-drenched forest, feeling a bit heavy-hearted.

”We can’t let our guard down. Although we’ve left behind the flood, the crisis hasn’t truly gone away.”

”The creatures in this forest are evolving too. We’re not truly safe yet.”

When Liang Yuan returned to the bamboo house, Yang Mei was already awake. She had received the news from others and had quickly extinguished the bonfire outside the fire pit.

Simultaneously, she began hastily preparing to weave something to block the entrance with bamboo.

When Liang Yuan saw her busying with this, he immediately said: ”Sister Mei, don’t bother, I have something to block the cave entrance.”

He directly took out a cabinet from the item shelf and easily placed it at the cave entrance, blocking the width of the entrance.

Then he placed another cabinet on the bamboo house outside the cave.

With two cabinets back-to-back across the entrance, Liang Yuan brought in lots of soil from outside to fill any gaps completely.

He then opened the outside cabinet door, joining the back panels of the two cabinets into a portal with doors on both sides.

Once the cabinet doors were shut, all light would be blocked off.

He didn’t light a fire inside but took out a fully charged table lamp instead.

The warm light illuminated the cave, giving a cozy and safe feeling.

Yang Mei couldn’t help but sigh in relief, looking at the makeshift wardrobe door: ”Can this really block the flying insects?”

”Without light to attract them, they won’t actively attack us.”

Liang Yuan comforted, ”This is just a temporary measure. Tomorrow I’ll find a way to make a stone door for better sealing.”

”Won’t it be too stuffy in the cave?”

”We can open a few small windows with curtains later.”

Yang Mei hugged him, feeling safe as she listened to his plans.

”Little brother, I’m glad to have you.”

Liang Yuan laughed: ”Have you eaten? Would you like me to cook something?”

”Not yet. What do you want to eat? I’ll make it for you.”

”I had hot pot downstairs with everyone.”

”What? Hot pot? Ah, why didn’t you call me? I haven’t had hot pot in so long.” Yang Mei’s mouth watered immediately upon hearing this.

In the past at building 76, she had made many delicacies, but never had hot pot.

Because there was no hot pot base, she never thought of having hot pot.

Liang Yuan laughed: ”That’s no big deal. We can have it again tomorrow, this time at our place.”

Yang Mei beamed with joy and went to prepare dinner.

Liang Yuan, under the light, pulled out the notes from Tushan Camp and the two blast arrows he received that day.

Instead of immediately opening the notebook, he first examined the blast arrows.

He noticed the blast arrows were made from mutated bamboo with a bright red stone arrowhead.

The stone was evidently crafted and Liang Yuan noticed a distinct Superpower Energy fluctuation within the stone.

”Superpower Stone?”

Liang Yuan was amazed, as it was his first time seeing such a color of Superpower Stone.

He went to the item shelf to find the Superpower Stones he had obtained from Elder Lin’s group.

These Superpower Stones were white, not red.

Liang Yuan carefully observed the differences between the two, noting energy fluctuations in both.

But the red scaphoid Superpower Stone seemed to have a volatile energy hidden within.

”Like a flame, ready to explode at any moment.”

Liang Yuan sensed this power and had a hunch.

”Could it be that there are many kinds of Superpower Stones, just like people’s awakened Superpowers, divided into different types?”
