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

Chapter 1116: Chapter 461: Zhao Kai’s Breakthrough, Cold Abyss Giant Turtle

Time passed slowly.

In the blink of an eye, half an hour had gone by.

Under Liang Yuan’s feet, a large layer of ice had completely formed.

Over at Zhao Kai’s side, he was enveloped by ice fog, and even above him, snow started to fall.

This was because the temperature near his body was so low that the rain turned directly into snowflakes!

At this moment, everything around looked like the deep winter of the ninth lunar month.

The ground was covered with ice and snow, and Zhao Kai was still shrouded in ice fog.

Liang Yuan stood there, eyes closed, waiting.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes and looked towards Zhao Kai.

He saw the fog around Zhao Kai’s body rolling and boiling, rapidly contracting.

The temperature around was also quickly recovering.

In the blink of an eye, the fog dissipated completely, and Zhao Kai was already wearing a layer of ice-blue armor all over his body.

Even his head was covered with an ice-blue helmet.

Seeing this scene, Liang Yuan was taken aback and asked in surprise, ”What’s this?”

Zhao Kai smiled and said, ”Brother Liang, I did it. This is the talent ability of my genetic species.”

”Talent ability?”

”Yes, Zero-Degree Armor.”

”Hmm? A defense-oriented talent?”

Zhao Kai nodded, ”Yes, the Zero-Degree Armor not only has high physical defense but also combines elemental defense and spiritual defense.”

Upon hearing this, Liang Yuan immediately released spiritual power, quickly spreading towards Zhao Kai’s armor.

Sure enough, this layer of ice-blue Zero-Degree Armor actually possessed the ability to reflect spiritual power!

Liang Yuan laughed, ”What is your genetic map?”

Zhao Kai said, ”It’s a genetic map called [Ax’s Cold Abyss Giant Turtle].”

Upon hearing this, Liang Yuan became thoughtful, ”Sounds like some kind of turtle-type genetic map.”

Generally speaking, species with turtle attributes naturally come with defense-type skills.

It’s just that Liang Yuan didn’t expect that even with the same ice attribute genetic species, what he comprehended was the genetic map of the Ice Bear.

Zhao Kai, however, had the genetic map of [Ax’s Cold Abyss Giant Turtle].

Indeed, everyone’s talent is different, and the awakened genetic maps seem to vary as well.

Genetic diversity is once again demonstrated at this moment.

”Try your attribute amplification.”

”Okay!”

The two of them immediately began experimenting in the woods.

In terms of attack, Zhao Kai’s method of controlling ice became more diverse.

Not only could he create floating ice shards that turned into densely packed floating ice spikes.

The attack range increased significantly, and the destructive power also enhanced a lot.

Then these ice shards would explode under his thought manipulation, forming shattered ice fragments to attack the enemy.

This kind of attack was concealed and sudden, making it easy to fall victim if one wasn’t careful.

Then came the defense aspect, which Liang Yuan tried.

The defense capability of the Zero-Degree Armor was indeed very strong.

Attack power within a range of fifty points couldn’t break through the defense at all.

While for beyond fifty points, a strength attribute reaching about 57 points could break the defense of the Zero-Degree Armor.

This was the physical way to forcefully break through.

Regarding spiritual attack, approximately at 56 points, one could forcibly break through the obstruction of the Ice Armor Helmet and attack Zhao Kai’s brain.

As for elemental attacks, the resistance of the Zero-Degree Armor was relatively high.

For flame elemental attacks, when spiritual power enhancement reached 60 points, the Zero-Degree Armor started to melt.

For water elemental attacks, it was basically hard to break through the Ice Armor; almost upon encountering the Ice Armor, it would instantly coagulate into ice.

It can be said that this Zero-Degree Ice Armor has a strong restraint against the water element.

For other elements, they also tried, generally around 57 points, it could break through the Zero-Degree Armor.

Considering Zhao Kai just broke through 50 points, his current spirit attribute is at most around 51 points.

This Zero-Degree Armor raised his defense limit to 57 points, which is already quite impressive.

This should be related to his genetic map [Ax’s Cold Abyss Giant Turtle].

”With your current strength, in the entire Yangshan, besides me, no one else would be your match.”

”Only then can I rest assured to find the virus expert.”

Zhao Kai looked serious and asked, ”Brother Liang, do you feel something isn’t quite right?”

Liang Yuan nodded slightly, ”This epidemic virus has come too abruptly and isn’t quite normal.”

”I can’t say specifically, but I have a bad premonition.”

”Enough of that, I prepared something for you.”

Saying this, Liang Yuan took out a ruler.

This ruler was the one handed over to him by Li Xiangyang.

Inside the ruler, there were special rune circuits.

Liang Yuan had comprehended the Yangshan Gene Activation Technique from it.

”If you encounter too strong an opponent, use this ruler.”

Zhao Kai asked doubtfully, ”Is it a superpower weapon? I have ones here too, Brother Liang.”

”This one is different.”

Liang Yuan shook his head slightly. This ruler, he had entwined it with the Causality Line.

The damage transfer causal line could transfer part of Liang Yuan’s attack power onto the ruler.

This means that even if Liang Yuan is not at Yangshan, if Zhao Kai uses this ruler, under the causal connection, Liang Yuan will sense it.

At the same time, as long as he acts, he will transfer his striking power onto this ruler.

This is equivalent to Zhao Kai being able to borrow Liang Yuan’s strength in critical moments through the ruler.

This is the terrifying aspect of purple-quality skills.

Causal skills defy reasoning.

Of course, this causality transfer transfers damage but cannot store energy like Huang Mingkai.

To this day, Liang Yuan still doesn’t understand how Huang Mingkai manages to store other people’s attacks within his body.

This is not just damage transfer, it’s absorption of damage plus transfer of damage.

However, Liang Yuan is satisfied for now. At least he managed to extract such an incredible purple-quality skill, causality transfer, from the opponent’s remains.

After understanding Zhao Kai’s combat power, Liang Yuan felt reassured.

Only by placing Yangshan in Zhao Kai’s hands could he confidently go find Jiang Ziyin, the virus expert.

”Brother Liang, when do you depart?”

”I’ll leave this afternoon.”

”So soon?”

”Yes, this matter can’t be delayed. The virus is still spreading, and I must quickly find that virus expert.”

Liang Yuan turned to Zhao Kai: ”Yangshan will be in your hands for the time being.”

Zhao Kai’s expression was serious: ”Rest assured, even if it costs me my life, I will definitely protect Yangshan.”

”No, I don’t want you to risk your life. If there’s a crisis you can’t handle, take Yang Mei and the others and leave first.”

Liang Yuan looked at Zhao Kai with a solemn expression.

Zhao Kai was surprised and couldn’t help but look at Liang Yuan: ”Brother Liang, you... Yangshan is something we fought hard to gain.”

Liang Yuan shook his head: ”It’s not more important than your lives. Territories can be reclaimed anytime, but once lives are lost, they can’t be brought back.”

Zhao Kai felt touched hearing this.

But he still firmly said: ”Brother Liang, rest assured, this is our home. If it really comes to that, everyone surely won’t retreat easily.”

Liang Yuan smiled: ”I’m just saying, things are still under our control.”

While discussing the worst plans, they returned to the port.

In the afternoon, Liang Yuan took Bai Zhirui and Tu Long, boarded a speedboat, and quickly left Yangshan.

On the speedboat, Bai Zhirui was intrigued, constantly observing the surroundings and the speedboat beneath her feet.

She couldn’t help but say: ”Mr. Liang, this speedboat doesn’t look like a technological product from before the flood?”

Before Liang Yuan could speak, Tu Long laughed: ”This is the latest research vehicle from the R&D department. The kinetic energy device inside doesn’t use petrol or electricity; it’s powered by superpower stones.”

”The boat’s material is made by grinding mutant beast bones into powder and recasting it, as solid as reinforced concrete.”

”See the patterns on this? These are the power rune arrays personally designed by Professor Li and his team.”

Bai Zhirui couldn’t help but exclaim: ”Wow, we can produce speedboats ourselves at Yangshan now?”

Tu Long laughed heartily, finding the young girl’s amazed expression quite interesting.

”That’s nothing; we’ll develop fleet ships in the future too.”

Bai Zhirui was astonished, repeatedly touching the speedboat and saying, ”Yangshan is really improving every day, even able to develop such vehicles.”

At this moment, Liang Yuan at the bow spoke up: ”After the great flood, humanity experienced despair and the collapse of civilization, but the flame never went out; now everything is being reborn.”

”The future will indeed be an era of technology combined with superpowers.”

”We’re not much yet.”

He couldn’t help but think of the submarine he saw underwater at Linjiang University.

That submarine was made using a shell from some scallop-like mutant creature.

This is enough to show that some forces have completely merged technology with mutant beasts, developing brand new vehicles.

”Mr. Liang, Yangshan isn’t bad either.”

”Now these speedboats are initially in production, and soon Yangshan’s patrol teams can be equipped with them.”

”By then, the waters around Yangshan will be completely secure.”

Tu Long couldn’t help but say.

He had watched Yangshan develop bit by bit, often reflecting on the changes with his girlfriend, Wang Xiaoya, during countless nights.

He knew it was all brought about by Mr. Liang.

So when Mr. Liang was modest about Yangshan’s development, Tu Long couldn’t resist arguing a little.

Liang Yuan smiled but didn’t say much.

They were in Yangshan and hadn’t seen the outside world to know how it has developed.

Indeed, Yangshan might be a major power in this New District.

But compared to Guangfu, the difference isn’t small.

Bai Zhirui quickly changed the topic and asked: ”Mr. Liang, why did you think of bringing me this time?”

She expressed her inner doubts.

She’s not a combat-type superpower user, would bringing her just be a burden?

Though she wanted to see the world, she was indeed somewhat afraid of the Flood World.

Liang Yuan, hearing this, smiled and said: ”We’re not going out to fight and kill, we’re going to find the virus expert Jiang Ziyin.”

”I’m worried that when we find her, if she’s in danger, having you as a healer nearby might come in handy.”

”As for everything else, don’t worry, we’ve got it covered.”

Bai Zhirui suddenly understood, realizing Mr. Liang’s intention in bringing her.

She nodded quickly: ”Okay, Mr. Liang.”

At this point, Tu Long couldn’t help but ask: ”And me? Mr. Liang, why did you bring me along?”

He was aware that he was a significant figure in the earlier days of Yangshan, capable in air, land, and sea combat.

But since Liang Yuan returned with a group of captains, many of them skilled.

Most captains had a main attribute over 45 points.

Tu Long questioned his ability against some of those skilled in elementalization.

So he was puzzled about why Liang Yuan brought him along.

Liang Yuan glanced at him: ”Your combined abilities are top-notch in Yangshan. Tattoo Spirit Superpowers allow you to transform into various tattoo spirits for battle, giving you advantages in air, land, and sea.”

”If I’m not with you, your task is to protect ’Nai Bai,’ understand?”

Bai Zhirui, hearing Liang Yuan call her nickname, blushed inexplicably.

This nickname was given in the Martial King Pavilion, and even after the pavilion dissolved, Gao Jie, Zhuang Shuyuan, and others continued to call her by it.

As the Gao Bai Zhuang brand flourished, her ’Nutrition Express’ sold throughout mining areas and Meishan, revealing much about her healer background.

The title of Nai Bai couldn’t be kept secret.

However, few called her by this nickname openly.

Only old acquaintances, close friends would use this nickname.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Liang would also call her this, making Bai Zhirui somewhat shy.

Yet deep inside, she felt a bit delighted.

After Liang Yuan’s words, Tu Long finally understood his purpose.

He scratched his head and chuckled: ”If trouble comes, I’ll first take off with Miss Bai and won’t care about you.”

Liang Yuan laughed and cursed: ”If I can’t protect you while I’m here, do you think you can escape?”
