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

Chapter 1277 - 611: Liang Yuan’s Ex-Girlfriend

”Back then, I also saw this news, but I didn’t realize that was actually you, little brother.”

Yang Mei also spoke up, then curiously asked, ”Little brother, is this girl your girlfriend?”

As soon as she said this, both Dong Yan and Song Wen looked over.

Liang Yuan didn’t hide it, smiled, and nodded, ”Yes, her name is Yu Xue.”

Dong Yan couldn’t help but say, ”Brother Liang, you’re so great, how could she break up with you? Is she out of her mind?”

Song Wen also couldn’t help but ask, ”Brother Liang, why did you guys break up?”

Women are naturally curious about a man’s ex.

Liang Yuan had already come to terms with this relationship, and being questioned now, he couldn’t help but feel helpless.

He first asked, ”Why haven’t I seen it in the owner’s group?”

Yang Mei laughed, ”You must have joined the group later. Your house was renovated so late, you definitely weren’t among the first batch to join.”

Liang Yuan suddenly realized, indeed, he bought the house later, so he wasn’t in the initial group.

He smiled and said, ”I didn’t realize there was that photo, Lin Ya, send me a copy later.”

”There’s no internet, how could I send it, Brother Liang, are you still thinking about your ex-girlfriend?” Song Wen couldn’t help but ask.

Liang Yuan smiled and pinched her smooth, fair cheek, ”What are you thinking? I just felt nostalgic, reminding myself not to forget where I came from, that I too was once an ordinary person.”

Once someone gains power, their mentality can unconsciously become inflated.

Liang Yuan also felt this way; compared to the past when he hid in a building, he now felt somewhat inflated.

Back in Meidu Garden, he was cautious and on guard all the time.

All windows and doors were reinforced, and if someone knocked outside, he wouldn’t open the door.

But now, he had ventured to the Dark Abyss Mouth, almost being swallowed by the Shadow World of the Black Dragon.

Later, he returned and single-handedly swept through the Three Great Sects; although he won in the end, he encountered the strange existence of the Tidal Brain and experimented with Dr. An of the military.

Frankly speaking, if it wasn’t for the system enhancing his abilities, he might have failed miserably.

He could have waited, let the people in Yangshan improve their strength, and then proceed steadily, which would have been the most stable approach.

And now, Zhang Yujiang sent a letter, inviting him to check the Celestial Abyss passage.

He seriously considered going, although he wasn’t much stronger than Feng Jiangong, why take the risk?

The root of it all is that after acquiring strength, he felt somewhat inflated.

Seeing that photo, Liang Yuan suddenly woke up.

He was once an ordinary person too, a pitiful creature dulled by society.

Now that he finally had a chance, he must not become arrogant!

This is the significance of keeping that photo.

Hearing Liang Yuan’s words, the girls present were a bit moved.

”Yes, we were all ordinary people once,” Lin Ya sighed.

Yang Mei also spaced out for a moment, then came to her senses and involuntarily held Liang Yuan’s hand, ”I like the life now.”

Liang Yuan met her eyes, and they both smiled.

Lin Ya was a bit envious, ”In an apocalypse, you found someone you truly love, that’s really enviable.”

”Mr. Liang, do you have a computer here? I can transfer it to you later,”

Liang Yuan nodded and said, ”In my room, there is.”

Dong Yan still grasped the core issue and shouted, ”Brother Liang, why did your ex-girlfriend break up with you? How could she bear to?”

Song Wen pulled her, ”Okay, it’s over, there’s no need for so many reasons.”

She wanted to save some face for Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan didn’t mind and smiled, ”It’s all in the past, there’s nothing I can’t talk about.”

He briefly explained the reasons for the breakup.

Yang Mei’s eyes reddened with heartache for Liang Yuan, and she gently held his hand.

Dong Yan was furious, ”What! She just wanted wealth! She doesn’t deserve you, Brother Liang!”

”Besides, what does she have to be proud about? Her legs, her chest, her skin, how do they compare to Sister Wen and Sister Mei?”

”If she knew how amazing you are now, she’d definitely regret it.”

Liang Yuan laughed heartily, pinching her slightly chubby cheek, ”Hahaha, you’re flattering me now, but I do enjoy hearing it.”

Dong Yan giggled, ”I’m telling the truth.”

”Before the apocalypse, Sister Wen was a popular streamer, her figure, her face, even raw photos could easily defeat many internet celebrities.”

Song Wen laughed awkwardly; she indeed had been a beauty streamer then.

With Dong Yan’s interruption, the conversation turned lively again, and they reminisced about their experiences before the great flood.

When it was Lin Ya’s turn, they learned that although she looked like a sophisticated urban lady, her life before the flood wasn’t smooth either.

She was sexy, beautiful, gentle, and intelligent, but lacked authority in the workplace, and was harassed by her superiors several times, forcing her to change jobs multiple times.

It wasn’t until later, when she privately formed a studio with friends, taking on freelance work and building a reputation, that she managed to secure her position and rise above workplace bullying.

In terms of her love life, having seen too much workplace harassment, she preferred partners who were clean and decent.

However, by then she was 27 or 28, and her client base and social circle consisted of older, somewhat greasy bosses or clients.

After all, going around in circles, she ended up remaining single.

Yang Mei couldn’t help but say, ”You’re so beautiful. If you really want to find someone younger, it shouldn’t be too hard.”

Lin Ya blushed slightly and said, ”No, I’m not saying I want someone younger. I mean someone with a youthful spirit, not the greasy type.”

”That’s hard to find. Once you’re in this big melting pot of society, it’s difficult to keep that youthful spirit,” Yang Mei shook her head and sighed.

Lin Ya couldn’t help but think of Shen Yunxi, her good friend who’s a typical example of someone not young, but still innocent and romantic at heart.

Perhaps it’s the school environment that greatly influenced her, after all, it’s an ivory tower with mostly students around.

This is also the main reason why Lin Ya and Shen Yunxi get along so well.

Dong Yan couldn’t help but say, ”What’s so good about those young guys? I just like older men.”

”The uncle type is so much better, they know how to care, and they have strength, unlike my classmates, who are just too immature.”

Song Wen giggled, ”So, Yanyan, are there many people pursuing you at school?”

Dong Yan giggled, ”Yes, every day someone gives me a love letter, but we’re in senior year, the studies are intense, I don’t have time to chat with those guys who like to copy love letters from the internet.”

Saying this, she sneaked a glance at Liang Yuan, seeing him looking at her with a smile and not angry, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Song Wen also talked about why she was single before the great flood.

Her life was much simpler, as she had been live streaming, her social circle was smaller.

Mostly they were online friends, and some big guys on the leaderboard would often give her tips, but she often received obscene messages in private messages.

This gave her a very bad impression of netizens and strengthened her determination not to find someone online.

On the internet, you can see the dark side of people, which made Song Wen feel like everyone online was scum, making her very wary of the opposite sex.

Until after the great flood, the harsh external environment broke her mental defenses, forcing her to the edge, she had to go upstairs and ask Liang Yuan for food.

At the time, she had prepared herself for the sacrifice of her body.

She thought about it, among the few people she could reach then, there weren’t many who could provide food.

Among those people, only Liang Yuan had traded with her, she had a pretty good impression of Liang Yuan.

If she really had to choose someone, she would rather choose Liang Yuan.

But unexpectedly, Liang Yuan didn’t take advantage of her beauty, instead, he helped her face the difficulties, assisting her to adapt to this apocalyptic world.

At that time, she already had a good impression of Liang Yuan.

Later, when they were trapped in the building, facing villains like Liu Erlong and Wang Ze together, they naturally ended up together, it just happened effortlessly.

This conversation lasted more than an hour, but Song Wen and Dong Yan had to deal with their respective department matters, so they reluctantly ended the chat.

Liang Yuan also had things to handle and went to the Leader’s Mansion.

At home, only Yang Mei and Lin Ya were left, and the more they chatted, the more they connected, deepening their friendship.

Liang Yuan was naturally happy to see this.

Because the deeper Lin Ya’s relationship with Yang Mei, the more she would care if Yang Mei encountered a crisis in the future.

In the blink of an eye, another three days passed by.

Liang Yuan had enough points and finally pinpointed and extracted the [Spiritual Energy Vortex Rune].

He spent another day and a half comprehending and copying this rune.

[Spiritual Energy Vortex Rune]: Nature Rune

Rune Quality: Green

Rune Effect: Driven by superpower, it can generate a regional spiritual energy vortex, amplifying the spiritual power strength in that area.

Note: The spiritual power strength within the vortex is directly proportional to the driving energy provided.

Liang Yuan was a bit surprised looking at the rune introduction in front of him.

He quickly looked at the explanation of the ’Nature Rune.’

Nature Rune: A naturally formed rune resulting from a natural phenomenon, different from a Skill Rune, not restricted to a certain attribute.

”Nature Rune...”

Liang Yuan suddenly thought of the ruler he gave Zhao Kai.

At the time, that ruler also contained a special rune array.

That ruler wasn’t made from any mutated beast bone.

According to what Li Xiangyang and the others said, this ruler was a stone carving displayed at Jieshi Academy.

Back then, Liang Yuan couldn’t understand why such an item would form a superpower weapon.

Now seeing the system’s explanation of Nature Runes, he suddenly understood.

”So that ruler is also a Nature Rune, and it even condensed an array.”

”No wonder any kind of attribute power, as long as it’s infused, can form a powerful attribute light blade.”

”It seems like this Nature Rune isn’t limited by attributes.”

Liang Yuan speculated secretly in his heart.

Moreover, unlike Skill Runes, it has no skill requirements.

It seems like anyone can use it.

”I can use this rune to create an area with higher spiritual energy, allowing those in Yangshan urgently needing a breakthrough to spend points on cultivation.”

”Cultivating in the area of the spiritual energy vortex will definitely yield twice the result with half the effort.”

”Although one spiritual energy vortex’s coverage area is limited, I can set up multiple to greatly expand the area range while also enhancing the spiritual power strength of that area.”

Thinking of this, Liang Yuan instantly went to find the people from the construction department to immediately start implementing the plan.
