Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food Chapter 1070 - 425: Qiu Kongyu’s Dimensional Bag

Previously on Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food...
Liang Yuan, disguised as a shackled laborer mining Blood Ice in the underground lair of the Master of Fog City, suspects a fog-shrouded figure is Chang Yuntao observing the chaos above. Joining a group of prisoners in an ice cave amid shouts of escape during a fierce battle between Ice Armor Warriors and Earth Mother Sect intruders, he faces suspicion from their leader, Boss Qiu. To prove his allegiance, Liang Yuan kills a fallen, dying Ice Armor Warrior, earning tentative trust as Boss Qiu rallies the men to flee through the tunnels, aiming to refine stolen Blood Ice into genetic species and head toward safer lands like Yangshan.

Silently trailing the group, Liang Yuan navigated the winding paths deep inside the ice cavern.

The thunderous blasts echoing from outside weren't receding; on the contrary, they grew nearer with every step!

Liang Yuan's face shifted subtly as he glanced toward the leading Boss Qiu.

Boss Qiu appeared to catch Liang Yuan's stare and turned his head around.

Their gazes locked, and Boss Qiu abruptly chuckled, "Kid, you're clearly no Ice Armor Warrior, and you don't strike me as part of the Earth Mother Sect crowd. Are you fresh from the outside world?"

Liang Yuan: "I got pulled in during the most recent group."

Boss Qiu burst into laughter right away, "Haha, kid, what's the point in concealing it? That latest group arrived a full week back. If you'd stuck around that long, I'd surely remember your face."

Liang Yuan's brow furrowed at once, and he inquired, "Boss Qiu, with all the pressing duties weighing on you, it's understandable if you can't recall everyone."

"Haha, important? Not me. In this spot, I'm merely slaving away as an ice miner."

"The Ice Armor Warriors treat us worse than dirt. Bro, give it to me straight—has the City of Ice Mist descended into total mayhem? What else would drive you to flee into this place?"

Boss Qiu's mind worked sharply, and Liang Yuan's unexpected entry let him swiftly infer that turmoil had struck the City of Ice Mist.

Liang Yuan picked up on Boss Qiu's intent to pry details about external events from him.

After a brief reflection, he flashed a grin and posed, "Boss Qiu, if I spill the beans, what's my reward?"

Boss Qiu chuckled promptly, "I enjoy dealing with clever folks. You catch on fast."

"You've caught those noises from beyond, haven't you?"

"Far from pulling away from the clash between Ice Armor Warriors and Earth Mother Sect forces, we're actually closing in via these subterranean tunnels right now."

"Any idea behind this move?"

Liang Yuan gave a faint shake of his head, "Just lay it out for me, Boss Qiu."

Boss Qiu, along with a few of his nearby companions, broke into laughter.

A rugged, dark-complexioned fellow then spoke up, "Obviously, the riskiest spots turn out to be the securest. Folks are bolting for the way out, where Ice Armor Warriors spot and pursue them without fail."

"Yet here in the heart of the turmoil, true safety awaits."

Enlightenment dawned on Liang Yuan, though he soon eyed Boss Qiu and questioned, "Is that all to it? Given your expertise and abilities, Boss Qiu, you wouldn't fear getting nabbed by the Ice Armor Warriors, would you?"

Boss Qiu's grin faltered for an instant as he eyed Liang Yuan, before he resumed chuckling, "You're sharper than I'd guessed."

"Ever wonder why we're trapped here, endlessly hacking at ice chunks?"

Liang Yuan played dumb and queried, "Why's that?"

Boss Qiu fixed his intense gaze on Liang Yuan and intoned gravely, "Beneath all this ice hides a vast reserve of Blood Ice!"

"Heard of Blood Ice before?"

Liang Yuan kept shaking his head, "What's Blood Ice?"

"Haha, Blood Ice lives up to its name—it's frozen masses born from solidified blood."

Boss Qiu offered a knowing smirk, then pressed on, "What's your progress in the Four Major Attributes?"

Liang Yuan remained silent.

Boss Qiu figured he was just being wary and stated plainly, "Relax, I'm not checking your power level; this is only to verify if you're fit for our operation."

"In those Four Major Attributes, once one hits over forty-five points, absorbing Superpower Energy starts feeling tougher, doesn't it?"

"Yeah, that's exactly how it feels." Liang Yuan paused just a beat before acting startled.

Boss Qiu laughed without delay, "Looks like you truly make the cut for our group."

"Pushing any Four Major Attribute past 45 points hits you with the Genetic Lock's boundary."

"You can't breach that 50-point threshold without shattering the Genetic Lock."

"The sole method to break the Genetic Lock involves forming a Genetic Species and a Genetic Map."

"Got any clue what a Genetic Species entails?"

Liang Yuan shook his head, "What's a Genetic Species?"

Boss Qiu chuckled once more, detecting Liang Yuan's possible inexperience, which eased his suspicions notably.

He declared with gravity, "A Genetic Species basically represents the solidified gene pieces from a specific evolution route."

"Once our Superpowers ignite, we're already embarked on an unending Evolution journey."

"The instant Superpowers emerge, our core evolution path is locked in."

"By delving deeper into Superpower potentials, we're basically excavating the gene segments aligned with that path."

"Truth is, genes within us rival the stars in count, yet merely a fraction ever gets activated."

"Extracting that fraction to fuel Superpowers, and as Superpower Energy keeps flowing in, the Superpower strengthens while genes keep unfolding."

"However, human genes have limits. Hitting near the 50-point barrier drains our genetic reserves dry."

"That's when we hunt for outside genes matching our Superpowers, process and integrate them, forging superior Genetic Species."

"With Genetic Species serving as cores and Superpower Energy as fuel, nurture and grow them, press forward in evolution, and in the end, craft our Genetic Map to ascend into mightier lifeforms!"

Listening to this, Liang Yuan inwardly approved. Boss Qiu's breakdown closely mirrored the intel he'd gleaned from interrogating the Ice Armor Warriors.

The core of a Genetic Species lies in the condensed gene shards from advanced lifeforms.

Superpower Users integrate the Genetic Species to mend their genetic wholeness, then begin forging personal Genetic Maps.
