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

Chapter 1708: Chapter 1040: Yangshan Conference Reconvened

The three of them met, and of course they couldn’t help getting a bit emotional.

Zhang Yujiang sighed and said, “How long has it even been, and to think the next time we’d meet, it’d be under circumstances like this.”

Pei Yuanhu laughed. “It’s all thanks to Mr. Liang, really.”

“If it weren’t for Mr. Liang, I’m afraid the whole area from Jingzhou to Jiangnan Province would still be in chaos right now, and nobody knows how many people would have to die before things settled down.”

Thinking back to when the Three Great Sects stirred up trouble in Linjiang City, Zhang Yujiang couldn’t help remembering how much evil they’d actually done.

He sighed. “Heroes rise in troubled times—used to think that was just a line from storybooks. Now that we bring it up again, I finally get that it was the sigh of people in ancient times.”

Feng Jiangong also couldn’t help thinking of how Liang Yuan had clawed his way up from a total nobody, and now had grown into a colossal existence that everyone had to look up to.

For a moment, even his mind wavered slightly.

While these three were lamenting the changes in Yangshan and in their own fortunes, off in the distance plenty of others were also marveling at Yangshan’s environment.

“Who would’ve thought Yangshan Island under Mr. Liang’s side would’ve developed to this scale.”

“When I just came in, seeing the airships flying in the sky, the underwater cities in the sea, and the speedboat buses on the surface… seriously, I felt like I’d walked into some cyberpunk future world.”

“Yeah, it really feels like Yangshan and our side are from completely different eras. Not only is the tech over here insanely advanced, the material life is rich too.”

“I don’t know if you noticed, but on Yangshan Island there’s not only a CBD commercial center, they even have all kinds of pre-apocalypse food, snacks, junk food, you name it.”

“Logically speaking, after the apocalypse, industry has already collapsed and everyone’s gone back to slash-and-burn farming.”

“In tons of places people still can’t get enough to eat and have to rely on Mutant Fish just to fill their stomachs, but over on Mr. Liang’s side, they’ve basically already achieved food Freedom and can even process it into all kinds of products.”

“Honestly, whether it’s the Jingzhou Military or the Divine Country, judging by the happiness index of ordinary people’s lives, both are far worse than Yangshan Island.”

“I was wondering why so many merchants on my side were doing everything they could to move over to Yangshan Island recently.”

“At first I thought it was because this is Mr. Liang’s political center, and everyone wants to get a little closer.”

“But now it looks like that’s not the only reason. The living environment here is way better than ours too.”

“Looks like when we go back, we need to consider moving our Floating Island closer to Yangshan Island.”

Everyone nodded in agreement, feeling that made sense.

As they were all chatting away in high spirits, someone suddenly shouted loudly.

“Mr. Liang is here!”

In an instant, everyone turned their heads toward the entrance.

A whole bunch of people who’d been branded with the Soul Imprisonment Rune by Liang Yuan and recognized him as their master hurriedly stood up to show respect.

Many of those people were top bosses of various factions. Once they stood, how would their subordinates dare remain seated?

So everyone stood up one after another.

And as more and more people rose, the rest naturally felt it’d be inappropriate to stay seated and got up as well.

So you saw the entire hall, everyone standing, all looking toward the main doors.

At the entrance, Liang Yuan strode into the hall with Song Wen, Lin Ya, Yang Mei and the others in tow.

Everyone’s gaze focused on him, but he didn’t show the slightest tension, his expression still calm.

His aura alone was enough to crush the entire venue.

Liang Yuan swept his gaze over everyone. He was a Star God Level Superpower User now, his level of life already fundamentally different from the rest.

So facing Liang Yuan’s gaze, these people all felt a kind of instinctive fear.

For most of them, their impression of Liang Yuan still stayed at when he was only at the gene recombination stage.

Now, seeing him again and feeling the pressure and momentum on him, their hearts naturally trembled, shocked and unsettled.

“Master… why does it feel like he’s gotten even stronger again?”

“It’s not just a feeling. He has gotten stronger!”

“Damn, it’s only been this long?” Hong Tianyi couldn’t help exclaiming in shock.

Shang Di gave a bitter smile, shaking his head. “I don’t get it. Master and us are simply not on the same level anymore.”

At this moment, Liang Yuan walked toward the high platform at the front of the conference hall.

Wherever he passed, everyone hurriedly stepped aside and opened up a path.

Liang Yuan walked along, smiling and nodding lightly as he went.

The crowd also hurriedly smiled in response.

Very soon Liang Yuan reached the stage. Looking down from on high at the crowd, he smiled and said, “Everyone, I’m sorry for calling you all in such a rush for this meeting.”

Down below, everyone quickly shook their heads.

Someone shouted, “Mr. Liang, we’ve been wanting to come see Yangshan for a long time.”

“Haha, Mr. Liang, even if you hadn’t called us here, we’d still find a chance to come to Yangshan to broaden our horizons.”

“Mr. Liang, what’s the matter that’s so urgent?”

“Is there some enemy? Just say the word, and we’ll all gladly shed blood and lay down our lives.”

People below chimed in one after another, all beginning to declare their loyalty.

Liang Yuan smiled and raised his hand, pressing down gently toward them.

Everyone immediately went quiet, listening to him speak.

“There isn’t really any enemy. It’s just that recently, Yangshan received news that the little devils from Japan have actually invaded our former Jiangnan Province, Guangdong Province, and other regions.”

The moment he said this, the crowd below exploded.

Especially those who’d been soldiers, the military bunch—instantly they blew up.

“What? The little devils?”

“Mr. Liang, why didn’t you tell us earlier!”

“Fuck, the little devils still dare invade us? Before the apocalypse our country held back, and now the world’s ended, and we’re still supposed to tolerate them?”

“Mr. Liang, just say the word. I’ll go back right now, gather people, and fight all the way to the little devils’ nest.”

“Master, where are these little devils now? We’ll go slaughter them right away!”

…

People shouted over each other, all with fury written on their faces.

Liang Yuan smiled and shook his head. “Last month Yangshan already sent people over to kill those bastards.”

“We pushed all the way to their base at Mount Fuji.”

Hearing that, the crowd got excited all over again.

“You already hit their base?”

“Mr. Liang, did you wipe out all those little devils?”

“Best would be to blow up Mount Fuji—fuck it, sink their whole island. Not a single one of those little devils is worth a damn.”

Some hotheads started cursing outright.

Everyone’s righteous rage made Liang Yuan both amused and exasperated.

He said, “Relax. The terrain of Japan has long since been flooded.”

“There are just some higher elevations still sticking out of the water. There probably aren’t many people left alive in all of Japan.”

“They didn’t have many Floating Islands to begin with.”

“Last time Yangshan deployed the Southern Expedition Army and wiped out most of the Japanese devils.”

“But that isn’t the main point. The main point is that on this southern campaign, we discovered a myth-level Mutant Beast—the Eight-headed Great Serpent!”

The moment he said this, everyone’s heads snapped up in shock, staring at Liang Yuan in disbelief.
