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

Chapter 912: Chapter 341: Li Hanzhong (3)

”Captain Lin, this is a mutated starfish I caught yesterday. Take a look, is it useful?”

Captain Lin glanced around and nodded slightly, ”The mutation intensity is okay, it has reached 26 points. If we’re lucky, it might yield a rune bone. Go on in.”

”Captain Lin, take a look at mine. This is a green mussel shell. Are these patterns on it runes?”

Captain Lin took one look and his face turned dark. He cursed, ”Get lost, how is this a rune?”

The person turned pale instantly but dared not linger and was quickly pushed out by others.

Afterward, people brought out various items one after another.

Some had rune bones, some had bones and skin of mutant beasts.

Others brought food like instant noodles.

Without exception, all those people gained entry privileges.

Finally, it was the turn of the elderly academic-looking man with tortoiseshell glasses.

The old man nervously swallowed and said, ”Good morning, Captain Lin.”

Lin Wu frowned and said, ”New here? I haven’t seen you before.”

The old man quickly said, ”Yes, I’m new here, called Li Hanzhong...”

”Who asked you? Take out your stuff and let me see,” Lin Wu interrupted him and scolded.

Li Hanzhong quickly shut his mouth and immediately opened his bundle.

Inside was a brown-yellow sea shell, engraved with runes on the outside.

Lin Wu picked up the sea shell and looked at it, with a strange expression, frowned, ”Is this a rune bone? Why does it feel not quite like it?”

He felt the runes didn’t seem to naturally grow but were carved on afterward.

Thinking of this, his face darkened, he glared at Li Hanzhong, and cursed, ”You old thing, how dare you fake it here?”

Li Hanzhong hadn’t reacted yet, and his neck was immediately grabbed by Lin Wu.

He was so frightened that his face changed dramatically and he hurriedly explained, ”Captain Lin, I’m not, I’m not faking it.”

”You damn well dare lie to me? The runes on this are clearly engraved later, do you take me for blind?”

”Old thing, do you know where you are? Do you dare to cause trouble at Miss Qiu’s black market? Believe it or not, I’ll kill you right now?”

Li Hanzhong panicked and waved his hands to explain, ”No, no, Captain Lin, listen to me, this is something I made myself. It can emit ultra-high frequency electromagnetic waves that interfere with the thoughts of living beings.”

”Believe me, really, it can be applied to the field of ships as a replacement for radar devices.”

Captain Lin shoved him away and cursed, ”To hell with you, if we had a ship, we would’ve left this damned place long ago, get lost.”

Li Hanzhong was pushed and stumbled to the ground, despair showing in his eyes.

To save his elderly wife, he brought out his successful research on mutant beasts, hoping to enter the black market to exchange for some medicine.

But now it seems everything is in vain.

Captain Lin in front of him completely disregarded his research achievements.

His eyes reddened; his wife had been feverish for a night. If he couldn’t get any fever medicine soon, she might really be beyond saving.

”Captain Lin, I beg you, give me a chance, I can show you, my invention is really useful.”

”It can convert superpower energy waves into electromagnetic waves, not only could it be applied to ships like radar but could also further serve as the theoretical basis to deduce electromagnetic wave weapons...”

Bang!

The door was closed directly, leaving only a few people outside at the entrance.

Among these people, some were denied entry.

Others stood there from the beginning without taking anything out for trade.

This was the small black market in Phase 3 Building 92. Nobody knew the owner of this black market.

All they knew was that the Miss Qiu mentioned by Mr. Lin managed here.

Every day people would wait here early, bringing what they thought valuable to trade inside.

Li Hanzhong had been surviving in this building for half a year.

He was initially a homeowner in Phase 1, among the first to anticipate that the flood might not stop, and took his wife to Phase 4 immediately.

He didn’t even linger in Phase 3.

Coming early allowed him to avoid the fiercest homeowner battles of the past.

Previously he and his wife had occupied an empty room.

After the floodwaters rose, more people came, fewer rooms were available, their room was broken into, and they were forced out.

As the water level continued to rise, their room was submerged too.

They were left with no choice but to keep moving upward.

But there were no rooms for them upstairs, so they could only stay in the hallway.

Li Hanzhong and his wife, being elderly, couldn’t grab a good spot among the crowded hallway and had to shrink back near the water’s edge.

This place was not only very damp but also easy prey for attacks from mutant creatures in the water.

Over the past few months, Li Hanzhong barely survived, while his wife suffered from arthritis due to the damp environment, in pain daily.

Li Hanzhong was in agony and constantly looked for ways to change his predicament.

Once, while fishing with others, he unexpectedly caught a mutated sea shell.

He didn’t trade the sea shell but chose to cook it with his wife to fill their stomachs.

Unexpectedly, while eating, he accidentally consumed a strange pearl and immediately awakened a superpower.

However, this superpower did not grant him strong combat power; it only made his body healthier and his strength stronger.

But his mind became unprecedentedly agile, and he sensed the existence of spiritual power.

Then, through continuous exploration, he discovered that his superpower turned out to be superhuman brain computation.

He not only could recall all knowledge he had seen in his life but also his thought process became much faster than before.

He named his ability [Super Brain].

With this superpower, he quickly thought of a survival method.

That was to use the corpses of mutant creatures to try to make some weapons, possibly sell them in the black market on the 27th floor to exchange for materials.
