Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food Chapter 1140 - 483: Battle Deployment

Amid the gathering, Han Xiangman shook her head and declared in a grave tone, "I’m afraid we can’t hold it; the opposite side has too many Genetic Species experts."

She possesses inside information on the Three Great Sects and recognizes their abundance of Genetic Species experts.

The group voiced their urgent thoughts one by one, causing Zhao Kai a pounding headache.

He pondered briefly; Yangshan held vital importance, encompassing the complex and all key facilities in Sunshine District that demanded safeguarding.

Yet Meishan carried equal weight, housing not just the Yunquan Temple outpost but also Jieshi Academy.

Crucially, Meishan concealed the prime Superpower Stone mine reserves.

Lingyun Slope, being sheer and sparsely inhabited, offered only Qinghua Paper Mill and Mulberry Forest assets, making its temporary loss bearable.

Zhao Kai couldn’t resist glancing toward Yang Mei and Song Wen.

These two ladies belonged to Liang Yuan, so he sought their views.

Song Wen, unaccustomed to such intensity, stood stunned for a moment.

Yang Mei remained firm, telling Zhao Kai, "Zhao Kai, since Brother Liang has entrusted Yangshan to you, you should make the decision, we all listen to you."

Her words instantly silenced the murmurs around them.

As Liang Yuan’s primary partner, Yang Mei commanded exceptional respect among Yangshan’s people.

Witnessing her backing Zhao Kai’s authority, all eyes shifted to him.

A massive burden of duty and strain suddenly weighed on Zhao Kai.

Right then, he grasped the relentless pressure Brother Liang endured daily as their guide.

Zhao Kai drew in a steadying breath, his gaze piercing, and announced, "Resources can be recovered when lost."

"Brother Liang said that talent is the most important."

"Let everyone immediately return to Yangshan; we must first ensure Yangshan is secure!"

His command prompted nods from the assembly.

They sprang into swift organization.

Yangshan blared its warning sirens without delay.

All hands rushed back to Yangshan positions.

Civilians sought shelter deep within the mountain woods.

Superpower Users took up vigilant posts at Yangshan’s critical paths and spots.

With preparations complete, Zhao Kai summoned Han Xiangman, Wang Xiaoya, Li Xiaojun, Zhang Peng, Kong Sheng, and fellow Water Attribute Superpower Users for counsel.

"Everyone, mere defense won’t suffice; we need to strike back and prove we’re no pushovers," Zhao Kai stated firmly.

Han Xiangman inquired, "Do you have any ideas?"

"I want you to assemble squads and strike their warships from beneath the waves," Zhao Kai pronounced seriously.

"Attack the warships?"

"How to attack?"

"Their warships seem to have rune arrays for defense."

"I think it’s feasible. We can use Sealing Talisman Stones to shatter their defensive arrays and cripple their warships so that they can’t return!"

"That’s a good plan; we must show them that we’re not sitting ducks."

"Indeed, while their Genetic Species experts are formidable, we should avoid them and target their ships!"

Following heated exchanges, excitement lit up their faces.

All endorsed the strategy as workable.

Han Xiangman eyed Zhao Kai with newfound admiration, acknowledging his tactical prowess in battle.

She declared promptly, "Alright, I’ll take people over right away."

Zhao Kai cautioned, "Remember to go to the research department to get Water-Repelling Talisman Stones from Teacher Li."

Water-Repelling Talisman Stones proved essential for submerged fights.

Naturally, Han Xiangman and her team, being Water Attribute Superpower Users, faced no water-handling issues.

However, their accompanying forces might lack Water Attribute powers.

Zhao Kai turned to Old Ma next, questioning somberly, "Old Ma, have all the personnel from the Construction Engineering Department returned?"

Ma Guocai affirmed, "They’ve all returned."

"Good, your Earth Attribute Ability personnel need to be ready to provide support within Yangshan; I also need Speed Ability Users to come over."

"Speed Ability Users? For what?" Old Ma queried, puzzled.

Zhao Kai explained gravely, "The research department has developed some firearm superpower weapons; Speed Ability Users possess high-speed movement capabilities, allowing them to carry these weapons for effective long-range attacks."

"Then Strength-type Superpower Users should go to collect Crossbow Arrow equipment and remember to wear armor."

"Firearm superpower weapons? Have they been developed?" Old Ma exclaimed eagerly.

Zhao Kai glanced at Li Hanzhong nearby.

Li Hanzhong confirmed with a nod, "A month ago, Mr. Liang already instructed us to start researching firearm superpower weapons."

"Knowing that the superpower technology in Guangfu is far more advanced than ours, we started researching non-stop."

"Fortunately, the principle of making firearms isn’t difficult; the challenge was integrating them with superpowers, but we overcame the technical issues half a month ago and began production."

"But time is limited; we’ve only produced thirty-four guns so far."

Zhao Kai asserted resolutely, "It’s better to have them than not. Distribute them to trusted brothers."

"We must show the people from the Three Great Sects that Yangshan is not a soft target they can easily manipulate!"

The group nodded fiercely, their expressions hardening with lethal resolve.

——

Over the endless floodwaters, scores of warships advanced in a tangled array, spearheaded by flagship vessels at the lead.

Aboard the Water God Sect’s lead ship, a maskless middle-aged figure in a profound azure robe gripped a mold-encrusted wooden staff.

Greenish mold clung thickly to the staff.

Mold specks dotted his own form as well.

Water God Sect followers surrounding him eyed him with veiled dread.

This was Han Tai, the Plague Priest, one of the four elite priests from the Water God Sect’s Water Purification Priesthood!

Though past fifty, Han Tai’s Superpower User awakening had restored his vigor to a man in his prime forties, with his features appearing far more youthful.

Pre-flood, he served as chief physician at Guangfu District People’s Hospital, enjoying solid earnings from his elite post.

With under-the-table gains, his lifestyle had been quite lavish.

Post-flood, however, his villa sank among the earliest casualties.

Luckily, Guangfu’s elevation allowed a hasty relocation, moving his family to a towering apartment.

Yet the deluge persisted and worsened, turning his new refuge into a magnet for desperate raiders.

Tragedy struck—his spouse fell to brutal blows, and his daughter, shattered by shame, leaped to her end.

In panic, he cowered in a mold-ridden hallway, nearly succumbing to infection, until his superpower surged forth unexpectedly.

His power tied to mold enabled spore dispersal, swiftly sickening nearby foes, with proximity amplifying the outbreak’s fury.

Leveraging this, he lurked within the structure, dooming his tormentors to agony and extracting vengeance for his lost family.

Through these trials, he mastered survival in the ruined era.

A healer by trade, he knew humanity’s greed and folly intimately, grasping how the afflicted lash out blindly.

Exploiting such flaws, he molded his image into that of a godly emissary.

As he spread his spore plagues, he drew in devotees, subjecting them to relentless indoctrination.

His mold plagues could lie dormant in hosts, erupting on his whim.

This power amassed a fervent horde, swelling his sway.

Mystery cloaked him deeper, ensnaring more minds.

Eventually, reuniting with past allies, they forged the mighty Water God Sect!

Truly, the Plague Priest stood among its originators.

"Yangshan... Haha, such a prime spot, seized by mere idiots."

Han Tai sneered, reminiscing a pre-flood outing where his daughter coaxed him and his wife up Yangshan’s trails.

This treasure shouldn’t fall to lowly insects.

"Priest Han, the Thunder Cannon is ready."

A Water God Sect herald neared, halting prudently two meters away to deliver the update.

Han Tai inclined his head faintly: "Have we entered firing range?"

"One more kilometer to go."

"Proceed at full speed, and fire as soon as we enter range."

"Yes, sir."

"What’s the situation with the Earth Mother Sect and the Spiritual Ability Sect?"

"The Earth Mother Sect has attacked Meishan. According to the Spiritual Ability Detection Compass, the spiritual pressure at Meishan is denser, implying a substantial number of Superpower Stone Mines there."

"The spiritual pressure at Lingyun Slope is not as strong as at Yangshan, so the Spiritual Ability Sect sent fewer people there."

Han Tai curled his lip in disdain: "Those burrow-dwelling vermin of the Earth Mother Sect, content with no more than the Yellow Earth Divine Origin; now they scramble for Superpower Stone hauls. Looks like they suffered heavy tolls in the last clash at Yellow Earth Divine Origin and Mist City."

"Priest Han, I’m afraid Yangshan is the tough nut to crack. The lookout reported that everyone at Yangshan has gathered on a mountain."

"It seems they’re determined to defend Yangshan."

Han Tai scoffed mockingly: "A bunch of fools, abandoning Lingyun Slope and Meishan, doesn’t that mean they’re giving us a foothold?"

"It seems they’re just a group of inexperienced refugees."

The crew erupted in mocking guffaws.

The vessel’s horn blared as the fleet surged onward relentlessly.

At the same time in Yangshan, Han Xiangman guided her Superpower User squad, plunging sharply from the submerged dock.

As the armada neared within hundreds of meters of Yangshan.

The Water God Sect fleet abruptly halted.

From Yangshan, observers stared in bewilderment at the sight.

Instantly, a deafening thunderclap shattered the air.

"Boom!"

Explosions followed in rapid succession!

Boom boom boom...

From the Water God Sect vessels, endless violet Thunderbolt energy projectiles hurled out!

Lightning ripped through the waters in a flash, unleashing horrifying electric surges.

Coastal trees detonated, while devastating blasts ravaged the surroundings.

Fires ignited from strikes, timber splintered apart!

Thus, the fierce clash erupted in full fury!
