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

Chapter 506: Chapter 219: Attack the Mining Area

Zhao Kai was excited, as rune technology was disclosed by the military to help ordinary people survive.

All four shelters had some related technology, more or less mastering one or two rune techniques.

When Zhao Kai and his team first went up the mountain, they suffered a loss from rune technology. Some people were killed by blast arrows fired by the people of Phoenix Temple, and this grudge has not been avenged yet.

Now, Liang Yuan actually took out a talisman stone, saying he had researched it himself.

Zhao Kai was naturally overjoyed. If this could be mass-produced, the overall strength of everyone in the shelter would greatly increase.

Liang Yuan smiled and said, ”This rune was obtained accidentally by me. It does not belong to any of the military-revealed runes like the blasting rune, water-repelling rune, or defense rune.”

”Currently, it is unique to our shelter, and it is the only rune technology on Yangshan that can defend against spiritual power.”

”I don’t have many superpower stones right now, so I can’t mass-produce them. I haven’t told you about it, but you can use it first. Once we reach the mine area, after killing Tian, we will naturally have superpower stones to use.”

Zhao Kai nodded repeatedly and said, ”Yes, this time we must settle the blood debt!”

The two of them hurried through the heavy rain, and soon Zhao Kai paused his steps slightly and said, ”Brother Liang, come and look here.”

Liang Yuan came over and saw Zhao Kai standing near a big tree.

He pointed to a position about a foot off the ground on the tree and said, ”This is a mark left by Wu Ying.”

Liang Yuan glanced at it and saw a piece of cloth.

He recalled that it seemed to be from the clothes Wu Ying was wearing at that time.

Liang Yuan immediately said, ”Keep looking, there must be more nearby.”

Zhao Kai nodded, and the two of them quickly searched the forest.

Soon, they found another piece of cloth.

Following the clues left by Wu Ying, they made their way westward.

About an hour later, Liang Yuan suddenly stopped.

Zhao Kai looked up in confusion, ”What’s wrong?”

Liang Yuan immediately raised his hand, made a shushing motion, and pointed to the left front.

Zhao Kai was shocked and instantly became serious, looking in the direction Liang Yuan pointed.

In the left front, on a towering tree, a giant python was coiled around the trunk.

The python was at least three meters thick, and its length reached several dozen meters!

It twined around the tree like a huge vine growing out of it, with rough scales that lacked the shiny, slippery feel of ordinary snake scales.

Instead, it looked like a layer of heavy black rocks was coating its surface.

Anyone who saw it would feel a chilling sense of horror.

Zhao Kai couldn’t help but take a deep breath and exchanged a glance with Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan whispered, ”Slowly, while it’s not noticing, let’s bypass it quickly.”

Zhao Kai nodded immediately.

The two of them silently retreated, not daring to approach the giant python’s territory.

The terrifying mutated beast was beyond their capability to handle.

They carefully retreated until they could no longer see the giant python, finally sighing in relief.

Zhao Kai whispered, ”Brother Liang, how high must this python’s mutation progress be to evolve to such a large size?”

Liang Yuan shook his head, ”This exceeds the species limit. It’s impossible to determine the mutation progress of this beast.”

”I feel it must be over 90%.”

Liang Yuan smiled and said, ”Let’s go around. Although Yangshan is not big, it hides many top-level mutated beasts.”

”First, the Bone Spear Giant Spider, now this unknown giant python. We humans have truly fallen from the top of the food chain.”

Liang Yuan said, ”Without weapons, humans have never really been at the top of the food chain.”

As they talked, they sped up their pace.

They passed through the forest, and the vegetation ahead gradually grew shorter, with the soil turning into a gravelly terrain.

Looking forward, they could see the area becoming increasingly barren, with signs of withering trees.

Large exposed rocks were polished smooth by the torrential rain.

”Is this... the mine area?”

Zhao Kai was surprised, looking astonished.

Liang Yuan also looked puzzled and said, ”I’ve been to Yangshan many times, and I don’t recall such a large barren area.”

”I have too. I’ve been to Yangshan, and I remember this place being full of rock piles.”

”It might have formed after the great flood. We don’t know how it came to be.”

”Brother Liang, look at these big trees and weeds, all showing signs of withering and being burned.”

Liang Yuan noticed this too and pulled out a few weeds, finding their roots dry and leaves withered, as if they had been scorched by the sun.

”Strange, despite the heavy and continuous rain, the plants here feel as if they’re dried out,” Zhao Kai couldn’t help but say.

Liang Yuan looked at the barren rocky mine area in the distance, deep in thought, and said, ”Could it be related to the soil here?”

”This is a mine area, rich in fire attribute superpower stones. The fire attribute must be strong. Perhaps it’s causing the nearby plants to wither.”

Hearing this, Zhao Kai thought for a moment and also found it quite reasonable.

As they spoke, a figure suddenly emerged from the shadow of a nearby rock.

”Mr. Liang! Brother Kai! You’ve finally arrived!”

The person was Wu Ying!

Zhao Kai quickly stood up and asked, ”Wu Ying, are you here? Where are the enemies?”

Wu Ying said urgently, ”The enemies have taken Granny Li and the others into the mine area.”

”Mr. Liang, these people are extremely vicious. We must rescue them quickly. Granny Li is fine because she’s older, but Sister Wu and Sister Liu aren’t that old. I worry those people...”
