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

Chapter 695: Chapter 282 Jieshi Academy

A newborn baby will cry for what they want.

If they can’t get it, they’ll cry and fuss. As they grow up, they’ll fight and snatch.

Human desires are endless. Without control, they become a huge vortex that devours everything.

Humans are inherently selfish and evil; this isn’t just talk.

Many people build their happiness on the suffering of others.

Seeing others worse off than themselves seems to lessen their own pain.

This is still the result of having been educated, constrained by a certain inner moral baseline.

You can imagine, when morality collapses, order disintegrates, the evil of human nature will be magnified to an unimaginable degree.

The tragedy on Meishan is just a microcosm of the apocalypse caused by the great flood.

Liang Yuan has personally experienced similar scenes. Perhaps in this flood-submerged building, countless unimaginable atrocious events are happening at this moment.

Old Yang’s expression grew increasingly heavy after hearing this.

His weathered face showed signs of pain.

The villagers, the neighbors, could they really have ended up like this?

Yang Mei’s eyes reddened, though her sadness had somewhat lessened, thinking back to everything she had encountered in the Meidu Garden building.

If she hadn’t met her little brother, she couldn’t imagine whether she would still be alive now.

Nor could she imagine what kind of horrible things she might have endured.

Thinking of this, she instinctively gripped Liang Yuan’s hand tightly.

Liang Yuan felt her emotions and reciprocated with a firm grip, bringing her a sense of solidity and strength.

”So now the leader of Jieshi Academy is Li Xiangyang?”

”Yes.”

”Is he very powerful? Li Kuirong has so many superpower users under him, and he can’t take down Jieshi Academy?” Liang Yuan asked.

Gao Changlin replied, ”He’s quite formidable. I’ve heard from Li Kuirong’s subordinates that Li Xiangyang’s superpower is quite unique, and he possesses a strange, highly powerful weapon that Li Kuirong and his people are very wary of.”

”A weapon?” Liang Yuan asked in surprise, ”Is it a firearm?”

”No, it’s a ruler, reportedly found inside Jieshi Academy.”

”A ruler?”

Liang Yuan was taken aback, thinking it was a hot weapon, but it turned out to be a cold weapon?

His eyes flashed as he suddenly thought of something.

”A cold weapon with great power, could it be... a superpower weapon?”

He immediately realized that superpower weapons did indeed exist, as his system lottery contained some.

And they were all valuable items.

These superpower weapons were often made from the bones of mutant beasts, possessing great hardness and toughness, with some even having special superpowers.

Some were processed to resemble hot weapons, capable of utilizing certain energy attributes from the superpowers the mutant beasts had when alive.

Yet Liang Yuan had never actually encountered such weapons himself.

He had only seen them in the system lottery disc.

Now suddenly hearing about such a weapon, he was quite surprised.

”Hold on, if such weapons can enhance the combat power of superpower users, the military would surely research them.”

His expression darkened, pondering if a superpower user with 50 Points in Spirit Attribute wielding a spirit class superpower weapon could possibly have stronger attacks than himself.

Although he felt that, at present, no one could surpass his attributes.

But the possibility existed and would grow bigger over time.

The moment he became complacent and slowed his pace, he would definitely be surpassed by others!

Liang Yuan grew interested in this so-called ruler.

”How many superpower users does he have under him?”

”Not many. Initially, he only took five or six people. Including the dozen or so already in Jieshi Academy, they probably have around twenty people in total.

”Of course, this excludes ordinary people. Counting them, there might be around a hundred or so.”

Liang Yuan nodded. A hundred people were indeed quite numerous.

Similar to the number of people he had when he first arrived at Yangshan.

”Let’s go, we’ll talk over there.”

The four of them walked quickly and soon arrived at Jieshi Academy.

From afar, they could see that many trees around Jieshi Academy had been chopped down, greatly increasing the visibility.

Outside Jieshi Academy, a patrol team spotted them from a distance.

Soon, a member of the patrol loudly questioned them.

”Halt, who are you!”

Gao Changlin whispered, ”Let me handle this. I’m familiar with some of the people inside. They still don’t know about the situation at Yunquan Temple.”

Liang Yuan nodded slightly and said to Old Lin, ”Uncle Lin, you should go as well.”

Old Yang quickly responded, ”Alright, I’ll go with Old Gao. Li Xiangyang knows me.”

Old Yang and Gao Changlin quickly ran forward.

”Is that Yang Jie? Oh my, it’s really Yang Jie! It’s me, Uncle Lin!”

Seeing the patrol member, Old Yang immediately recognized him and excitedly called out.

This young man was his neighbor’s child, Yang Jie.

Yang Jie saw Old Yang and froze for a moment, then exclaimed in joy, ”Uncle Lin?”

He was about to approach when someone next to him pulled him back.

A nearby young man cautioned, ”Be careful, they might be sent by Li Kuirong.”

Hearing this, Yang Jie hesitated and asked Old Yang, ”Uncle Lin, why are you here?”

He then looked at Gao Changlin and his expression hardened, ”Uncle Gao, if I remember correctly, you live in Yunquan Temple, right?”
