Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food Chapter 1099 - 445: Agricultural Department’s Achievements

The Construction Engineering Department led by Ma Guocai has delivered substantial progress, yielding outstanding accomplishments in just a brief time.

Once Old Ma's presentation wrapped up, Liang Yuan started the clapping first.

"Old Ma, your Construction Engineering Department has put in tremendous effort. I've noticed the transformations in Yangshan right upon my arrival back. Truly outstanding."

"Moving forward, Yangshan will advance at an even quicker pace, with the population probably expanding. Land supplies will surely grow more limited."

"Replacing short structures with tall ones, broadening residential areas, and conserving ground expenses are essential steps. You've handled it superbly."

Old Ma grinned and remarked, "Truth be told, if we possessed the skills to construct tall skyscrapers, I would have aimed for those over thirty floors high."

"At present, managing to raise structures beyond ten stories is no small feat. The bases of these shorter buildings require stone reinforcements to support the load from above."

"Thank goodness we possess diverse rune methods, and the mountain timber's mutation has boosted its durability immensely. The introduction of the Silence Rune prevents all sorts of disturbances, eliminating concerns over sounds from neighboring levels."

"Moreover, with mutated sunflowers emerging now, illumination issues in constructions are resolved. Tight gaps between structures pose no challenge."

Discussing building matters, Old Ma expressed himself fluently, his expression beaming with delight.

Ever since Liang Yuan assisted him in unlocking his Earth Attribute Superpower, he not only felt renewed vigor, appearing a decade younger,

but he also labors with greater zeal than the youth.

Liang Yuan, observing his vibrant Essence, Qi, and Spirit, smiled involuntarily and advised, "Excellent work, Old Ma; your productivity is impressive, yet don't forget to relax and look after your well-being, alright?"

Ma Guocai let out a booming laugh, declaring, "We've brought on board numerous superpower holders in our Construction Department, all robust young men with power-based abilities; they're bursting with vitality and keen to labor for points."

"I figure every unmarried member from our Construction Department will show up at this pairing gathering."

At these words, Liang Yuan chuckled heartily, and the entire assembly burst into mirth.

Among the array of superpower users, those with strength enhancements are viewed as somewhat less advantageous.

They shine in hand-to-hand fights, yet facing swift-type users who avoid direct clashes leaves them largely helpless.

Apart from adopting protective measures, like encasing themselves in a steel-like shell to deny foes attack points, options remain scarce.

And such a strategy works solely against swift-type superpower holders.

Should they face elemental or mental-type counterparts, their position weakens further.

Thus, within the spectrum of superpower users, strength variants rank as the most undervalued.

Nevertheless, for the refuge, strength-type individuals serve as vital workforce.

It's thanks to the abundance of strength-type superpower users that the absence of contemporary machinery gets overcome, enabling swift growth and building in Yangshan Shelter.

Naturally, as Liang Yuan introduces assorted superpower devices and rune innovations progress, strength-type users will no longer face disdain from fellow superpower holders.

As the proverb states, no superpower is inherently weak—only the user might be. The key lies in leveraging superpower users effectively.

With Old Ma's overview concluded, Granny Li and Song Wen, overseeing the Agriculture Department, stepped up to deliver their update.

The Agriculture Department's expansion has surged ahead swiftly, producing notable successes.

Song Wen announced, "In recent days, we've uncovered eleven fresh kinds of consumable mutated greens, bringing the total to seventy-one varieties of edible mutated vegetables identified thus far."

"Prime candidates for widespread cultivation include foxnut, Xiangyun bean, green bean, golden wheat, and more..."

"Notably, Xiangyun bean was spotted by Meishan Village local Li Xiangyun amid the crops. Named after her, this is a soybean mutation. Experiments reveal it matures incredibly rapidly."

"Under mutated sunflower exposure, it ripens in roughly two months, boasting high productivity. Every pod yields a minimum of eight to ten beans, with around 600 pounds harvested per acre."

"Its oil content stands at about 30%. While below mutated sunflower seeds, it surpasses pre-flood soybean extraction rates by far."

"Crucially, soybeans lend themselves to diverse culinary uses. The Agriculture Department now runs a soybean facility, churning out items like soybean oil, tofu, soy sauce, tofu skin, dried tofu, yuba, and soy sauce, to name a few."

"Families growing soybeans at home can sprout beans or craft simple soy goods."

"Currently, Xiangyun bean ranks as a primary planting priority in the Agriculture Department. Nearly half of Meishan’s farmlands are dedicated to it."

...

Once Song Wen concluded, Granny Li added further details.

In summary, Yangshan's agriculture sector holds vast potential. Beyond key staples like Xiangyun bean and red-skin tubers, they've established a mutated fruit medicinal garden in mineral-abundant zones.

This medicinal garden idea came from Yang Shenmin, Tang Ying, and a group of traditional Chinese medicine experts, focused on growing vital mutated fruits for drug studies and manufacturing.

Liang Yuan, hearing this, felt stirred once more.

Yangshan's foundations are solid now. My absence wouldn't halt the brisk advancement.

Constant supervision isn't required anymore; Yangshan operates in a thriving growth phase.

"Such promising progress will surely draw outsiders' gaze."

"Yangshan harbors rich superpower stone deposits, and its spiritual energy concentration is undoubtedly substantial."

"If the Spiritual Ability Sect locates the Floating Island via their scouting tools, the other three major sects have every reason to discover Yangshan too."

"We need to boost Yangshan's collective fighting strength swiftly to ensure defensive prowess."

He pondered silently, recognizing this as the top priority.

Besides, the downpour persists relentlessly, and though temperatures drop, winter's full onset remains uncertain.

Flood levels rise steadily, shrinking Yangshan's terrain bit by bit.

The quest for a floating island demands acceleration, with no room for delay.

A flurry of ideas raced through Liang Yuan’s thoughts.

Subsequent updates came from the Inspection Department, Breeding Department, and Slaughterhouse, each launching into their accounts.

The Superpower Research Institute and Yangshan Medical Center alone skipped reporting.

Outputs from these units are highly sensitive, unfit for public disclosure.

Hence, Liang Yuan directed Li Hanzhong and Yang Shenmin to bypass the presentations.

Nonetheless, the session stretched into the night as all departments, large or small, shared in turn.

Thankfully, mutated sunflowers in the Sunshine District supplied constant light, mimicking daylight, so fatigue didn't set in.

Instead, absorbing each department's progress ignited enthusiasm and elation among all.

As Yangshan affiliates, learning of the refuge's strengthening naturally swelled their pride.

When all had spoken, Liang Yuan addressed them: "Well done; I never anticipated that during my absence, your labors would achieve such stellar results."

"On behalf of Yangshan Shelter's inhabitants, I extend gratitude for your dedication and input."

Granny Li spoke first, beaming: "Xiaoliang, what nonsense is that? You led us to build a haven on this peak, providing a secure base."

"This place is our shared home too; contributing to it is simply our responsibility."

Old Ma quickly added: "Absolutely, Xiaoliang; we're all striving for Yangshan—you shouldn't shoulder it all alone."

Others voiced agreement.

"Mr. Liang, no need for such formality; this is our shared obligation."

"Right, Mr. Liang, and it's not unpaid labor; you've compensated us with wages, haven't you?"

"Precisely, Mr. Liang; Yangshan is our home."

...

Hearing their sentiments, Liang Yuan offered a genuine smile.

This sense of camaraderie proves invaluable, particularly cherished amid the apocalypse.

Beyond these walls, betrayal runs rampant, with families traded for sustenance and kin clashing fiercely.

Yet in Yangshan, humanity's finer qualities shine through once again.

Touched deeply, he continued: "Folks, Yangshan is my home as well; I'll skip further words, but allow me to share the fruits of my journey."

Liang Yuan shifted to key topics, his demeanor turning grave.

Noting his serious expression, the group realized his forthcoming words carried weight.

Thus, they settled in, adopting attentive looks.

Liang Yuan commenced in a grave tone: "During this excursion, I visited a location known as Mist City."

"This landmass is a waterborne floating island; regardless of rising floods, it ascends and stays above the waves, free from submersion fears!"

Liang Yuan's revelation stunned the entire gathering.

"What?"

"A floating island on water? That's inconceivable!"

"How could such an island exist?"

Struggling to grasp it, the audience stared in shock.

Abruptly, an elder from Meidu Garden, who had accompanied Liang Yuan, remembered and cried out: "Is it akin to Turtle Island?"

The Turtle Island episode is common knowledge here.

From the moment Liang Yuan assumed control of Yangshan as its unchallenged head, his history gets retold often by seniors.

The Turtle Island affair marked a major stir prior to his Yangshan arrival.

Back then, several in his traveling group suffered misfortunes.

Since claiming the mantle of Yang Mountain's leader, that event surfaces in conversations repeatedly.

Consequently, nearly everyone there knew of Turtle Island.

Liang Yuan shook his head faintly and intoned deeply: "Mist City is vast, matching the expanse of Linjiang City's central district, spanning no less than eighty square kilometers."

"It's exponentially bigger than Turtle Island—thousands of times over."

The listeners appeared terrified and skeptical.

Eighty square kilometers, rivaling downtown Linjiang City?

Unbelievable!

"How could a floating island reach such immense size?"

"Mr. Liang, what's found on that island?"

"Is it genuinely an island?"

"Xiaoliang, an island that massive—if it tied to Linjiang City, we'd have known of it pre-flood."

Liang Yuan replied gravely: "After probing, it turns out it's not a true island but a colossal biological remains!"

"What!"

"No way!"

"An eighty-square-kilometer mega-corpse island? Is this some myth?"

"Mr. Liang, is this for real?"

...

Below, fervent debates erupted, every visage etched with incredulity.

This revelation packs a thunderous punch!
