Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food Chapter 1100 - 446: Shocking News Throughout Yangshan
Previously on Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food...
While the outbreak of the massive flood remained something people could somewhat comprehend.
The rise of superpowers is steadily reshaping individuals' views of this world.
Yet, the report about the Floating Island Giant Corpse utterly demolishes all prior notions of reality.
Evolution's trajectory grows ever more outlandish and surreal.
Liang Yuan gazed at the stunned assembly and declared gravely, "Folks, this world has transformed far beyond the familiar one we once inhabited."
"The abrupt onset of the great flood alongside the advent of superpowers all point to alterations in this realm that surpass our wildest thoughts."
"That entity known as the Mist City Floating Giant Island surely doesn't belong on our Earth."
"Its origins remain a mystery to all, including myself."
"Nevertheless, one fact stands clear no matter its source."
"In some corner of the cosmos, colossal beasts like this thrive."
"Should we face such a live behemoth with our present power, what chance do we have of repelling it?"
Liang Yuan's statement promptly hushed the entire group into silence.
A behemoth spanning eighty square kilometers would leave them unable to fight back or flee, for starters.
Remember, the combined expanse of Yangshan, Meishan, and Lingyun Slope barely reaches eighty square kilometers.
"How is this possible?"
"Curse it, are the heavens determined to wipe out humanity?"
"Eighty square kilometers... We wouldn't even register as insects before such a monster."
"Fight back? How? Even in pre-apocalypse times with full human society intact, only nukes might scratch a being like that."
Suddenly, despair flickered across every face in the room.
Liang Yuan scanned the surroundings and abruptly announced, "However, during this expedition, I've uncovered something far more crucial!"
"I've found the key to our upcoming evolution, one that will boost our strength further and propel continued growth!"
At once, heads lifted toward Liang Yuan, eyes lighting up with shock and hope.
"Mr. Liang, what kind of secret?"
"Mr. Liang, what exactly did you find?"
Numerous voices clamored with urgent questions.
Liang Yuan responded, "Lately, quite a few of you must have noticed your superpower potency advancing at a snail's pace, or perhaps stalling completely for ages?"
His remark drew instant nods from many.
Tu Long yelled first, "Absolutely, that's me. I train the Yangshan Gene Activation Technique daily, yet despite drawing in heaven and earth's energy, my overall superpower level refuses to budge."
"A while back, it inched forward slightly, but these days, it's totally stuck."
Zhao Kai agreed with a nod, "Same here; feels like I've slammed into a wall."
Li Qinghua blurted out, "Mr. Liang, have you figured something out?"
His words drew all eyes back to Liang Yuan.
Liang Yuan gave a faint nod and stated seriously, "Yes, based on the intel from Mist City, what you're experiencing stems from hitting a bottleneck phase."
"Those folks term it a Genetic Lock!"
"Breaking through the Genetic Lock demands forming a Genetic Species. Only then do you earn the right to advance higher!"
"A Genetic Species?"
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Mr. Liang, please elaborate?"
The group fired off questions eagerly.
Liang Yuan dove straight in, revealing all the genetic species details he'd acquired to the assembly.
As Liang Yuan described the four primary superpower attributes and how each person possesses a dominant one, realization dawned on everyone's features.
"Does that mean my dominant trait is Power?"
"Being an Elemental Superpower User, is Spirit my main one?"
"My transformation falls under Physical Class superpowers, so Constitution must be my core attribute?"
...
Folks swiftly grasped their own conditions, growing convinced of the precision in Liang Yuan's attribute breakdown.
Right then, Wu Ying from the midst of the crowd pressed forward first, "Mr. Liang, how do we go about forming a Genetic Species?"
Her query struck at everyone's core concern, silencing the chatter as gazes fixed on Liang Yuan.
Liang Yuan grinned and freely outlined the process for creating a Genetic Species.
"Forming a Genetic Species involves drawing in sufficient dominant attribute genes from external sources to bolster and amplify your internal main attribute genes."
"Once sufficiently powered, a Genetic Species can take shape."
"That said, in your current state, relying on regular Mutant Beast Meat won't yield much headway. You'll have to target essence from Genetic Species-level Mutant Beasts and process it."
"I'm still working out the refinement technique for Genetic Species."
"Naturally, should your main attribute hit 50 Points, the condensation method will awaken automatically."
"It's an innate genetic legacy inside you, graspable through personal insight."
"Furthermore, rushing to form a Genetic Species before 50 Points in your main attribute invites interference from stray genes!"
"Mr. Liang, what exactly are stray genes?"
"Stray genes refer to genetic elements that don't align with your inner superpower type."
Liang Yuan patiently addressed every inquiry about Genetic Species and stray genes.
He shared freely, knowing that strengthening the whole group would better secure Yangshan.
Naturally, the main point was his own Genetic Species formation, with attributes well past 50 Points, leaving him unthreatened by this bunch.
Additionally, few here likely hit 50 Points yet, so they required further tempering.
Even with knowledge of Genetic Species, condensing one still calls for vast quantities of Genetic Species Level Mutant Beast blood essence as the base material.
Yangshan currently falls short on such Genetic Species Level Mutant Beasts.
They'd need to venture out hunting or plunge into the depths to search.
The submerged realms stretch endlessly, harboring plenty of Genetic Species Level Mutant Beasts without question.
The gathering with Liang Yuan and others stretched on till almost ten at night before wrapping up.
The sheer volume of revelations promised sleepless nights for all attendees.
Floating Island, Genetic Species, Main Attribute...
Such ideas were mostly alien to them.
Beyond that, Liang Yuan had revealed the true state of affairs in Guangfu.
There, a military base thrives, joined by civilian powers under the Three Great Sects' sway.
These groups have stretched even to outlying spots like Linjiang University.
Surely they'd spot a clear landmark like Yangshan?
Instantly, caution gripped everyone, blending thrill over a promising path ahead with anxiety over the Guangfu sects' reach.
As the session concluded, the participants departed the Leader’s Mansion bearing somber looks.
Liang Yuan exited the Sunshine District alongside Yang Mei, Ding Yan, Song Wen, and Dong Yan.
Inside the Sunshine District, radiant light bathed everything, cozy and inviting.
Beyond its bounds, shadows dominated, storms brewing fiercely.
Here and there, lights glowed faintly in scattered dwellings, though most shelter inhabitants had retired.
Far off, sentries stood vigilant on their rounds.
Liang Yuan extended his Spiritual Power, shielding a wide zone nearby and keeping the downpour at bay.
He led the four women homeward along the cliff edge.
Yang Mei picked up on his burdened mood, clasped his strong hand, and murmured gently, "Yangshan holds so many lives, little brother; you shouldn't shoulder it alone. We're right beside you."
Her words brought a smile to Liang Yuan, who replied, "It's exactly because Yangshan teems with people that I must ensure their protection."
"We're the ones holding you back; with your might, you could thrive effortlessly anywhere, floodwaters be damned," Ding Yan lamented.
She fully recognized that Liang Yuan's prowess would let him flourish in any setting.
Yet Yangshan's presence bound him to the front lines, guarding all from the tempests.
Song Wen sensed his strain too; she nibbled her lip and asked, "Brother Liang, is fifty points truly required to form a Genetic Species?"
Though she offered no direct solace, she aimed to ease his load by pushing herself.
She yearned to forge a Genetic Species without delay.
Liang Yuan's face shifted subtly; he turned to her swiftly and cautioned, "No rushing. Hitting fifty points for Genetic Species is crucial; it determines if you gain Genetic Heritage later on."
"Rest easy, I'll manage. Even if the Three Great Sects eye Yangshan for conquest, we won't stand passive."
"Plus, Genetic Species masters aren't invincible by any means."
"What approach?" Ding Yan pressed immediately.
Liang Yuan grinned and revealed, "From this venture, I also retrieved heaps of Rune Technology, like the Rune Array Technique."
"That hasn't been broadcast yet; I'll pass it to the research institute soon, then to Zhao Kai for spreading multi-person battle arrays across the military."
The scene of Earth Mother Sect specialists uniting in an array to overpower Ji Liang crossed Liang Yuan's thoughts.
Personal might might falter, but array formations could harness Yangshan's manpower edge.
Ding Yan felt a twinge of letdown hearing about Rune Arrays; she'd craved ways for swift personal stat boosts.
"Never mind that; let's discuss something fun. From Mist City, I hauled back tons of vessels, including a cruise ship none of you have explored?"
"Come on; tonight, I'll whisk you to the cruise ship's presidential suite."
Dong Yan and Song Wen whooped with joy, while Yang Mei and Ding Yan beamed with smiles.
The party bantered merrily en route to the harbor.
From within the Sunshine District, Han Xiangman observed quietly, a strange bitterness twisting in her chest.
"Captain Han, what has you staring so fixedly?"
A teasing, alluring voice rang out unexpectedly.
Han Xiangman's pulse quickened; she stole a quick peek over her shoulder.
There approached a curvaceous, refined woman exuding maturity and elegance in her cheongsam.
"Minister Zhuang!"
Spotting the arrival, Han Xiangman recoiled; it was Zhuang Shuyuan, the potent Inspection Department Minister!
Defying the fearsome tales, Zhuang Shuyuan beamed warmly. From humble Gao Bai Zhuang proprietor to Yangshan's Inspection overseer, she recaptured her former Martial King Pavilion hostess poise.
Authority molds one's bearing; such grace demands elevated rank to flourish.
She glided to the Sunshine District gateway, peering out.
Catching sight of Liang Yuan and the women's retreating forms, a brief shadow clouded her gaze before vanishing; then she smiled and queried, "Is Miss Han eyeing Mr. Liang?"
Han Xiangman scowled and retorted, "Minister Zhuang, watch your tone. I have duties to attend; goodbye."
She spun away, avoiding further exchange with the woman.
Zhuang Shuyuan eyed Han Xiangman's exit with a sly grin, chuckling softly.
"Hmph, acting coy. As if I can't see through it."
With that, she pivoted back toward Liang Yuan's direction and instinctively moistened her crimson lips.
"Heh, looks like you've got plenty of fans."
Her gaze drifted as she pondered pretexts for drawing near Liang Yuan in the near future.
Unlike Miss Han, Zhuang Shuyuan shunned no battle for her wants.
She grasped perfectly that every prize demanded her bold pursuit!
