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

Chapter 1406: Chapter 739: Stabilizing Spirit Rune, Breaking Through the Clouds

Tu Long still remembers the scene when he and Liang Yuan first explored the sky above the Thundercloud.

At that time, Liang Yuan had not even broken through the Genetic Species level, and everyone was still worried about the monthly Sea Tides at Yangshan.

Tu Long transformed into a giant eagle and flew with Liang Yuan all the way to the sky.

They were almost struck by lightning.

Since then, the sky Thundercloud became forbidden territory in Tu Long’s heart.

He often transformed into a giant eagle to carry out tasks but never dared to fly high.

Afraid of touching the Thundercloud and attracting a lightning strike.

Unexpectedly, as time passed, now more than a year later, he would finally follow Liang Yuan to explore that endless Thundercloud again.

And Old Ma was also somewhat excited on his side.

Heavy rain fell from the sky, floods rampaged, and doomsday arrived.

Everyone wanted to understand where this flood came from and why this heavy rain had been pouring down for so long without stopping—where exactly it originated.

How could there be so much rainwater in the sky?

Old Ma wanted to know what was causing this heavy rain.

Liang Yuan looked at the two of them and smiled, saying, “Passing through the Thundercloud requires everyone’s joint effort to find a Floating Island, establish a base in the sky, and bring us closer to uncovering the truth behind the flood apocalypse.”

Everyone nodded, showing a hint of excitement and thrill.

Next was simple, Huang Fa’s spaceship searched for a Floating Island in the air.

At Yangshan, preparations for the second and third spaceship launches were made swiftly.

Liang Yuan opened the Sumeru Space, allowing all personnel to prepare supplies and enter the Sumeru Space.

He then personally boarded a spaceship from the Yangshan No. 2 series.

“Lift off.”

Liang Yuan ordered.

Over at the research and development department, Li Hanzhong gave the command, and ten ships from the Yangshan base surged into the sky together.

The great noise of breaking through the sky made countless people at Yangshan look up, gazing at the sky.

When everyone saw Yangshan’s spaceship enter the endless clouds, they exclaimed.

Since the great flood, it had been unknown how long since they’d seen aircraft.

Everyone watched these ships with anticipation as they disappeared into the Thundercloud.

In the Thundercloud, Liang Yuan stared into the surrounding dark clouds.

Thunder rumbled and exploded, lightning strikes continuously hitting the craft.

“Mr. Liang, we’re about to pass through the Thunderstorm Zone.”

All around the craft, the Energy Shield operated stably, runes flowed, continuously absorbing the high-voltage lightning around and converting it into stored electrical energy.

Watching this scene, Liang Yuan’s heart suddenly moved, and he asked, “What runes are on these defense shields?”

Leading the research team this time was Du Zhijie, a Ph.D. in electrical engineering, who reportedly taught at a 985 university in the capital before the great flood.

Because he was originally from Linjiang City, during the great flood, he happened to be home for summer vacation. Due to rain delaying flights, unexpectedly, the rain continued till now.

At the great flood’s onset, as a Ph.D. in electrical engineering, he had self-made some weapons and barely survived the initial crisis, enduring until he awakened his Superpower.

As the great flood continued rising, out of necessity, he left his original building, drifted across multiple shelters, and eventually arrived at Yangshan.

Here, seeing Yangshan’s focus on high-tech talent, he perceived its leadership as visionary and thus presented some of his invented weapons, volunteering for the research and development department.

Professor Li Hanzhong personally interviewed him, confirmed Du Zhijie’s academic level, and strongly recommended Liang Yuan to retain this person for significant use.

Liang Yuan naturally trusted Li Hanzhong’s judgment, and after a conversation with Zhuang Shuyuan confirmed his background was clean, he allowed his inclusion in the research and development department.

This time, he led the research and development team to follow Liang Yuan into the Floating Island, responsible for future deployment of the Floating Island base’s defensive shields.

Upon hearing Liang Yuan’s inquiry, Du Zhijie swiftly replied, “Mr. Liang, this is a rune we dismantled from Kerry Technology Company’s flying saucers, which we call the Stable-Spirit Rune.”

“This rune can convert agitated Superpower Energy into a peaceful energy form.”

“And through our experiments, it’s found to be unaffected by rune attributes, meaning any attribute of Superpower Energy can be transformed by this rune.”

“For example, flames emitted by certain Fire Attribute Superpower Users, possessing very frenzied Power, once absorbed and converted by the Stable-Spirit Rune, transform into a temperature-controlled Fire Attribute Energy form.”

“This rune can be stacked, the more stacked, the better the stability effect, the more peaceful the converted Superpower Energy.”

“The one who thought of using this rune in a defense array is simply a genius.”

“Using this rune in an array, any frenzied attack energy can be effectively converted into a peaceful form, unable to damage the entire Energy Shield.”

“Of course, unless the instantaneous destructive power far exceeds this rune’s endurance.”

Keris Technology’s flying saucer exterior, by stacking this rune, absorbed the external thunderstorm Power, underwent multiple transformations, formed relatively peaceful electrical energy, and then connected to the energy storage rune for effective energy storage.”

“Our spacecraft have absorbed this technology, so they can withstand the external thunderstorm Power.”

Liang Yuan’s heart moved slightly, he said, “So if a Superpower User mastered this rune, could they then condense a similar Energy Shield and also withstand such thunderstorms?”

Upon hearing this, Du Zhijie replied, “In theory, it’s possible, but it’s virtually impossible to really achieve.”

“Why?”

“Because an individual’s Superpower Energy is limited, as is the number of Stable-Spirit Runes they can condense.”

“Stable-Spirit Runes must be sufficiently stacked, continuously constructing a graded array, stabilizing energy multiple times to ultimately achieve a stable energy effect.”

Du Zhijie’s words made Liang Yuan frown slightly.

He still couldn’t quite understand.

Du Zhijie thought for a moment and offered an explanation: “You can think of the stabilizing talisman as akin to a transformer, capable of converting larger voltages and continuously stabilizing them within a controllable range through a regulator.”

“The more stabilizing talismans you have, the stronger the control.”

“However, according to our experiments, to achieve such stabilizing effects, you need at least an array structure composed of 30 or more stabilizing talismans to realize the initial stabilizing effect.”

“Normally, for a superpower user of genetic species level, even if the Spirit Attribute is the main attribute, the maximum is only about 100 points, so how many runes can they control at the same time?”

“I’m not a top-level superpower user of genetic species, so I’m not clear about this data, but I think it wouldn’t exceed 100 talismans, right?”

“Not exceeding a hundred talismans, you can at most construct a level-three basic stabilizing talisman array, which at most can attenuate the thunderstorm threefold.”

“But look at the intensity of the thunderstorm outside, even if it’s attenuated threefold, it’s still not something a carbon-based life form can withstand.”

Du Zhijie adjusted his glasses and offered an explanation to Liang Yuan.

Upon hearing this, Liang Yuan calculated his current spiritual power gene points.

In human form, it’s not worth mentioning, but if gene recombination occurs, transforming into the Spirit Turtle Illusion Snake genetic map form.

His Spirit Attribute could break through to around 300 points!

In this situation, how many stabilizing talismans could he condense?

Liang Yuan hadn’t tried it, but it’s a direction worth exploring.

“As the progress of gene recombination continues to increase, my Spirit Attribute is sure to constantly improve.”

“In time, the number of runes I can condense will only keep increasing, and this set of stabilizing talisman array will definitely become very useful.”

Liang Yuan suddenly thought of a solution and asked: “Since an individual cannot condense many stabilizing talismans, can’t they be designed into weapons such as armor or shields?”

“This way, wouldn’t it be possible to have a set of similar protective gear?”

Du Zhijie smiled wryly and said, “That involves the problem of energy supply. The number of superpower stones that can be embedded in a set of armor or shield is limited, and the more runes there are, the more energy is consumed.”

“Stabilizing talismans need a large base to form a strong array, which requires a significant amount of superpower stone energy supply.”

“The volume of ordinary armor or shields is too small, making it very difficult to set up a stabilizing talisman array.”

“Unless you can find an energy device that stores more energy but is smaller in size.”

Liang Yuan understood; it’s just like electric cars before the apocalypse.

Before the invention of electric cars, the biggest problem was lithium batteries.

The battery volume was too small, functionality insufficient, the car simply couldn’t go far.

However, to ensure sufficient power, the battery’s volume would become very large.

In summary, it’s an energy technology problem.

When a high-energy source is discovered to replace the current superpower stone, that’s when the stabilizing talisman array will truly shine.

Liang Yuan thought for a moment and still said, “Give me a set of the stabilizing talisman runes. I’ll research them when I have time.”

Du Zhijie nodded and replied, “I have ready blueprints here, please wait a moment.”

He quickly retrieved the information from his computer and copied a set for Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan planned to find some time to study whether he could set up a stabilizing talisman array after transforming into the Spirit Turtle Illusion Snake.

“We’re out!”

“Mr. Liang, we’ve come out of the cloud layer!”

“Mr. Liang, look, we’re out!”

Suddenly, cheers erupted among the crowd.

Liang Yuan looked up and saw sunlight falling from outside, splashing across the cloud layer, resembling a piece of black ink adorned with gold edges.

In the sky, massive floating islands hovered.

Numerous mutant beasts flew back and forth across these islands.

Some traveled in groups, others darkened the sky, and some moved like lightning.

Although Liang Yuan had seen this scene in videos before, witnessing it firsthand was still quite shocking.

The floating islands in the sky retained faint traces of their original forms.

Indeed, they resembled various gigantic mutant beast shapes.

But those floating islands close by, their area so vast, making it impossible to discern what creatures they were.

It felt like the sense of being amidst a mountain without knowing its form.

Liang Yuan scanned the floating islands, and eventually lifted his gaze towards the boundless sky.

Above the distant firmament of this planet, a massive cosmic river stretched across the sky, resembling a rainbow spanning the void.

Terrifying waves surged down from it, with a portion falling onto the planet, forming torrential rain that poured into the cloud layer.

The clouds grew thicker because of this immense flood that traversed the infinite universe!

Liang Yuan’s eyes revealed a touch of awe and shock.

What on earth is this boundless cosmic river?

Where does it originate, and where does it lead?

Liang Yuan felt a strong intuition that as long as he discovers the source of this cosmic river, the mystery of the flood would be immediately solved.
