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

Chapter 1161: Chapter 502: Eden

Leaving the small supermarket, they crossed the corridor of the cultural center and arrived at the water surface downstairs.

Spirit turned back and looked at Liang Yuan and Ni Qi, asking, ”Can you swim? It’s rare to see someone who can’t swim these days.”

Liang Yuan smiled, said nothing, and just followed her into the water.

Ni Qi took out a Water-Repelling Talisman Stone and smiled, ”I’m okay, I have this.”

Spirit glanced at Ni Qi in surprise and asked, ”What’s this?”

”Talisman Stone. What, don’t you have these here?”

Spirit shook her head, ”I haven’t heard of this thing.”

Liang Yuan spoke up, ”You lead the way.”

Spirit nodded and reached out to untie her loose robe.

Ni Qi instinctively turned his head, embarrassed to look.

Liang Yuan was not embarrassed because he noticed that when Spirit removed her robe, she revealed a slim figure, not naked.

A layer of light pink scale armor covered her body, and she still wore simple clothes to cover the special parts.

Even her fair skin on the face was covered by a layer of pink scale armor under the activation of her superpower.

The whole form was almost identical to Zhang Peng after transformation.

Liang Yuan basically determined that this should be the female version of the Merfolk superpower.

He did not use Genetic Transformation to evolve underwater breathing organs.

But unlike Ni Qi, he also did not use the Water-Repelling Rune, instead gathering a large amount of water around him and forming a spherical water ball.

This was his Water Attribute skill ”Sea of All Rivers.”

The skill can not only act as a Water Attribute Defense skill, but also suit underwater combat.

The inside of the Sea of All Rivers water ball was hollow and could store a lot of air.

”Aren’t you a Spirit Ability User?”

Spirit looked at Liang Yuan in surprise; earlier, Liang Yuan used Spiritual Telekinesis to subdue her easily.

Now he actually displayed Water Attribute skills, leaving her a bit puzzled.

Liang Yuan smiled, ”Lead the way.”

Seeing Liang Yuan unwilling to say more, Spirit understood this was a sensitive issue and did not inquire further, simply said, ”Follow me.”

Her figure dove into the water, like a nimble fish, as her hips swayed, her legs resembled a fish tail, and swiftly sprinted forward.

Her speed was so fast that she almost reached around forty meters in a second!

Considering her main attribute was only about 34 points, it seems this Merfolk state enhances underwater speed.

Liang Yuan and Ni Qi quickly followed.

Ni Qi held the Water-Repelling Rune, moving underwater at normal speed, but he had his ways to cope.

As they watched, his body activated its superpower, feet expanding and each kick generated a powerful water current, propelling him forward, barely keeping up.

As for Liang Yuan, it was even more effortless.

Without any swimming posture, just standing in the water, the water flow behind him, pushed by telekinesis, feverishly propelled him forward.

He easily kept pace alongside Spirit.

Spirit initially felt dissatisfied, having been easily captured by Liang Yuan before, it was somewhat humiliating.

Now, underwater, she considered it her domain, hoping to regain her pride.

She thus began with a sprint, speeding up, attempting to outrun Liang Yuan and the others.

Waiting until they asked her to slow down, she would then calmly turn back.

But unexpectedly, both of them showcased their divine powers and easily caught up.

As she bit her lip with sharp teeth, feeling dissatisfied, she wished to speed up further.

Just then, Liang Yuan suddenly spoke, ”Miss Spirit, besides Ding Yan, have you seen other companions around her?”

Spirit was shocked, turned her head to look at the figure enveloped in the water ball beside her and couldn’t help but ask, ”How can you talk?”

The underwater environment, she was fast already, giving it her all.

In such circumstances, speaking would surely cause air loss, drastically reducing speed.

Yet Liang Yuan could still chat with her!

Just after speaking, she felt her internal breath leak by half and her speed immediately reduced.

She couldn’t help but say, ”I didn’t see anyone else, stop talking, it’s dangerous underwater, focus.”

She hummed and buried her head, continuing to hurry.

Liang Yuan pondered, Ding Yan appearing in this Eden place, but Li Qinghua and others not appearing.

Could it be that something happened, forcing them to split?

Thoughts flashed by, and five kilometers passed in an instant.

Soon, Liang Yuan saw a submerged highway winding around a mountain below the water.

The road signs on both sides were corroded and rust-stained.

In the parking lot alongside, many cars submerged in water were wrapped in large amounts of green algae.

Mutant fish roamed inside the cars.

Seeing Liang Yuan and the others, they immediately swam over menacingly.

At this moment, Spirit turned her head and glared fiercely at the group of mutant fish, a pressure emanated from her.

Suddenly, these mutant fish twisted their tails and fled in panic.

Witnessing this scene, Liang Yuan was amazed.

This Merfolk superpower actually carried the ability to intimidate mutant fish groups?

”We’re here—glug glug.”

Spirit spat out a few bubbles from her mouth and pointed to the mountain ahead.

At this moment, the mountain was submerged by the flood by over ten meters.

Due to the wild nature of the place, there was no ticket office, and no artificially constructed pathways.

Liang Yuan asked, ”Is this Little Straw Mountain?”

”Yes, I know a secret passage, follow me.”

Ji Xiaoyu spoke again.

At that moment, she twisted her waist and swam agilely towards Little Straw Mountain.

Liang Yuan and Ni Qi immediately followed.

Passing through the submerged trees below, Liang Yuan noticed that these trees drowned by the flood were not completely dead.

On the contrary, they had developed into underwater plants, with leaves that became wide, surfaces that secreted a lot of sticky fluid, and trunks that became soft.

He casually broke off a branch and found that these branches were soft, like tough leather strips.

Though soft, they were hard in texture and extremely pliable.

As the undercurrents surged below the water, they would roll with the waves, gently drifting like seaweed.

While humans were adapting to this mutated world, these plants were also rapidly adjusting to this harsh apocalypse.

In this evolution, all creatures were searching for a direction of evolution suitable for themselves.

”Come over.”

Ji Xiaoyu beckoned Liang Yuan and Ni Qi.

There, in the forest ahead, was a pitch-black cave.

The cave was submerged by the flood, with a large number of blue-glowing crystal stones inside.

Ni Qi glanced and was immediately amazed: ”Water Attribute Superpower Stones!”

Liang Yuan was also a bit surprised and immediately took out his Spiritual Ability Glasses to check, discovering that the Spiritual Power Strength of Little Straw Mountain was extremely high, no less than Yangshan!

”There’s a Superpower Ore Vein here too!”

Liang Yuan immediately guessed the reason.

The two followed Ji Xiaoyu into the cave, which, under the blue glow, was not dark but filled with a magical light.

Occasionally, small Mutant Fish hurriedly scurried past them, and in the rock crevices, some hermit crabs or Mutated Shells hid.

Some unknown seaweed sprouted from the gaps between the rocks, striving to grow.

Swimming upwards along the cave, after about a dozen meters, a pond appeared above.

The three of them emerged from the pond, with darkness all around and a large space above their heads.

Ji Xiaoyu said: ”This cave is known only to locals. I discovered it when I used to come with my grandmother to pick locust tree flowers, not many people know of it.”

”We can climb up from here to reach the mountain.”

As she spoke, she emerged from the water, swiftly climbing the nearby mountain wall.

Liang Yuan said: ”I’ll take you up.”

His Spiritual Power extended outward, immediately enveloping Ji Xiaoyu and Ni Qi, and he rose into the air, quickly reaching a cave entrance.

Ji Xiaoyu crawled out of the entrance, unable to help but marvel, ”You Spirit Ability Users are really lucky; this ability is so useful.”

Ni Qi couldn’t help but laugh, ”Your ability is not bad either. You can breathe freely underwater without worrying about the massive floods submerging the land.”

Hearing this, Ji Xiaoyu smiled and said, ”I wouldn’t want the land to be submerged; there’s nothing tasty underwater.”

Liang Yuan walked out of the cave, looking outside.

They were now halfway up the mountain, and below seemed to be large terraces.

In the distant darkness, there were low houses hidden in the woods.

The terraces had luminous plants, forming a dim path.

This was clearly an intervention by humans.

In the distant dense forest, those low buildings also had similar plants growing, faintly illuminating the nearby structures.

Liang Yuan asked, ”Are these plants used for lighting?”

”Yes, night-glow mushrooms and some luminous ferns. Here, too bright light cannot be used, or it would attract Mutant Beasts.”

”If it’s just ordinary Mutant Beasts, it’s fine. But if it attracts those powerful ones, it would be disastrous.”

Ji Xiaoyu’s words left Ni Qi amazed and he asked, ”Do the Mutant Beasts here get attracted by light sources?”

”Yes, ever since this place was isolated from the outside world, it’s been in darkness.”

The evolved mutant creatures have adapted to the state of darkness and hate intense light.

Liang Yuan didn’t dwell much on this unique situation, only asking, ”Where is Ding Yan?”

”I don’t know either, I’ve only seen her in Eden, haven’t spoken to her.”

”Where did you see her?”

”The chapel.”

”Take me there.”

”Follow me.”

With a question-and-answer back and forth, Ji Xiaoyu led Liang Yuan and the others swiftly running along the terraced fields.

Liang Yuan and the others followed closely, quickly crossing the terraces, reaching the front of the building complex.

Most of the buildings in this complex were wooden, with only the interior ones made of stone bricks.

At the center, there was indeed a large wooden chapel structure.

However, the three of them did not recklessly enter this Eden, as there were patrol guards checking the perimeter outside the complex.

Ji Xiaoyu said: ”I can only bring you this far.”

Liang Yuan smiled, ”That’s enough.”

He turned to Ni Qi and said, ”Let’s go, let’s explore and see what’s strange about this Eden.”

”Wait, how are you going in?” Ji Xiaoyu couldn’t help asking.

Ni Qi laughed, ”Watch this.”

He extended his hand, touching Liang Yuan and Ji Xiaoyu, and under the use of his superpower, their forms began to shrink, in the blink of an eye, becoming the size of regular cats.

Ji Xiaoyu was amazed, whispering, ”What a magical ability, you can shrink people?”

Ni Qi chuckled, not revealing more details about his abilities.

Liang Yuan urged, ”Let’s go, dodge the guards, and let’s see inside.”

With that, the three of them flickered and leaped onto the beams.

Under the cover of night, they swiftly entered the refuge known as Eden.
