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

Chapter 502: Chapter 217: Survey and Explosion_3

”It would be best to leave a watchtower here in the future to prevent enemies from sneaking up on us from this direction.”

”Hmm, I remember we dismantled quite a few cameras from Henglong Building. Not sure if we can reassemble them.”

Liang Yuan suddenly thought of this and noted it down.

He then thought of another issue, which was the power supply problem.

”I haven’t collected many batteries so far. It might be difficult to support the entire commercial complex.”

”Especially if we want an entertainment area. All my computer and projection equipment will need a lot of power.”

”Relying solely on Dong Jie might exhaust him.”

”If we use generators, the number of electrical appliances might be too much for the power output.”

Liang Yuan felt a headache coming on. When he thought about it in detail, it seemed like there were too many details to consider for the commercial complex.

There’s also the issue of the canteen. How to cook? Using firewood?

In this heavy rain, even if the fire bamboo is burn-resistant and easy to light when wet, how much fire bamboo can withstand such burning?

Other trees probably can’t be lit at all in this rainy weather.

”I wonder what other camps use to make fire for cooking. It can’t all be firewood, right? How do you burn this wet wood?”

After he came down from the cliff, the others had almost finished exploring the area.

Everyone gathered together and began to express their views.

Yang Shenmin said, ”This place is indeed a good spot that is easy to defend and hard to attack. As long as we guard the bamboo forest, outsiders will have difficulty getting in.”

”But we still need to be wary of attacks from the slopes above.”

Liang Yuan laughed, ”I checked out the slopes above. It’s also a steep slope with limited space to stand, and the area is filled with trees, making it difficult to traverse. Experts might sneak attack from there, but a large force can’t come down from there.”

Ding Yan said, ”The area is large and the terrain is relatively gentle. It is indeed suitable for planting and farming. The pool over there can also be used to raise some mutant fish.”

Zhao Kai said, ”The mountain is also very solid. If we need to dig out caves, there shouldn’t be any problem.”

Tang Ying said, ”I checked the vegetation nearby. There are many plants that seem to be medicinal and edible, so we don’t have to clear all of them.”

Everyone expressed their opinions, and most agreed that the place was indeed suitable for establishing a commercial complex.

Liang Yuan considered everyone’s opinions and nodded, ”Alright, since everyone agrees, let’s settle it here. We will start digging and establish the commercial complex.”

”The farming base will also be set up here, but it will be separate from the complex to avoid the smell.”

”The slaughterhouse will be placed with the farming base, and indoor cultivation will also be close to the farming base.”

”We’ll figure out other details as we go.”

...

And so, the location for the commercial complex was decided.

Everyone was excited and prepared to start work after the sea tide ended.

”For now, let’s focus on dealing with the sea tide. We’ll start working after it passes...”

Boom!

Before Liang Yuan could finish speaking, a thunderous explosion came from the direction of the bamboo house!

Everyone was shocked and looked at each other.

Liang Yuan reacted instantly, rushing out.

”Something’s wrong, there’s trouble!”

”Hurry back!”

”What’s going on?”

In an instant, everyone else realized and hurried toward the bamboo forest.

Among them, Liang Yuan moved the fastest. His agility attribute was the highest, and he sprinted through the forest in no time.

He didn’t wait for the others and ran through the dense fire bamboo forest.

About five minutes later, Liang Yuan burst out of the bamboo forest and saw the bamboo house by the emergency water reservoir, shrouded in thick black smoke and engulfed in flames.

Many people were desperately shouting for help in putting out the fire.

Liang Yuan’s face darkened, and he rushed over hastily.

He ran into Wang An, who was on patrol and was rescuing people.

Liang Yuan immediately asked, ”What’s happening?”

Wang An looked anxious. While using his superpower to rescue the fallen, he said, ”I don’t know! Suddenly there was an explosion, and the fire bamboo, being so combustible, just caught fire immediately!”

Liang Yuan was furious but had no time to ask more. He sprinted towards the bamboo house.

But before he reached the bamboo house, he saw Huang Han commanding the Golden Python to rapidly grow in size.

The Golden Python expanded to over ten meters and spat water arrows from its mouth.

However, the flames on the bamboo house did not extinguish easily, as fire bamboo is resistant to burning and not easy to extinguish with water.

If it could be easily extinguished by water, it wouldn’t have caught fire in this heavy rain.

Liang Yuan shouted angrily, ”Huang Han, rescue the people first!”

Huang Han understood quickly and commanded the Golden Python to form a bridge, allowing people to slide down from it layer by layer.

Liang Yuan swiftly jumped, reaching the top floor of his cave in a few bounds.

But as soon as he arrived, he was stunned to see his cave entrance covered in frost, thick ice layers enveloping the bamboo house, preventing the flames from reaching it.

Inside the cave, Yang Mei saw Liang Yuan and shouted, ”Brother, get Zhao Kai to help. Fire bamboo is flammable, but if we freeze it, the fire will be isolated and quickly extinguished by the rain.”

Liang Yuan understood immediately and said, ”You all stay in the cave. We’ll handle the outside.”

The cave had a smoke exhaust system, and with Yang Mei using her freezing superpower, there was no concern for the safety of the people inside.

He swiftly jumped down from the bamboo house and saw Zhao Kai and others returning.

Liang Yuan immediately shouted, ”Zhao Kai, freeze the bamboo house! Don’t let the fire spread!”

Zhao Kai nodded quickly, ”Leave it to me!”

He pressed his hands onto the nearby bamboo house, and frost spewed out, rapidly covering the bamboo house.

The bamboo house, already soaked by the rain, was instantly turned into an ice sculpture by the frost.

The flames were quickly brought under control, as Ding Yan, Song Wen, Shi Haizhu, and others began rescuing people.

It didn’t take long for the flames to be completely extinguished.

Liang Yuan and the others were covered in ash and soot. He quickly scanned the surrounding people, asking, ”Is anyone injured? Is everyone okay?”

Fortunately, the fire was controlled in time, preventing any casualties.

But Liang Yuan felt something was amiss. The explosion sound was too suspicious.

He asked, ”Does anyone know what happened? Where did the explosion sound come from?”

In the crowd, a middle-aged woman shouted, ”Mr. Liang, I heard the explosion coming from the first floor, but we didn’t see what caused it.”

”Mr. Liang, I also saw the fire start on the first floor.”

Everyone shouted, and several patrollers confirmed the fire started on the first floor.

Liang Yuan was puzzled. No one lived on the first floor because it was too close to the ground and too damp. Everyone chose to dig higher when creating their caves.

He frowned, suddenly thinking of something, and asked, ”Did anyone see any strangers?”

Everyone shook their heads.

Suddenly, someone exclaimed, ”Hey, where’s Granny Li and the people at the terrace?”

Everyone immediately turned to look at the terrace not far away, only to find that Granny Li and the others, who should have been busy there, were missing!

Liang Yuan’s eyebrows shot up as realization hit him. His face darkened instantly.

”Diversion!”

”Zhao Kai, Dr. Yang, all patrol leaders, search the nearby mountains immediately!”
