Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food Chapter 1158 - 499: Folded Space

Without a second thought, Liang Yuan quickly told Ni Qi to lead him straight to Ding Yan and the group.

Ding Yan, Li Qinghua, and their companions had no experience with a genuine Genetic Species Level mutant beast, assuming that a larger group would simply overpower and slay it.

They had no clue that a real Genetic Species Level mutant beast differed vastly from typical mutant beasts.

Upon surpassing 50 Points in the primary attribute, regular attributes evolve into Genetic Attributes, where each point delivers almost ten times the enhancement of standard ones!

Should Ding Yan and his team truly face off against a Genetic Species Level mutant beast, the risks would far eclipse any potential gains!

"Ling’er, I’ll need you to stick around Yangshan a bit longer and help keep watch over everything."

Liang Yuan gazed at Wang Ling’er, his face full of earnestness.

Wang Ling’er smiled upon hearing this, "Brother Liang, head out without worry; nothing will go wrong with us guarding the place."

"Good, I’m counting on you."

Liang Yuan skipped the formalities and gave Yang Shenmin a quick briefing.

Zhao Kai lay badly wounded, focused on recovery.

Old Ma escaped injury, yet Yangshan relied heavily on him as Construction Department head, leaving no spare moments.

Thus, Yang Shenmin, leader of the Medical Department, stepped up to the task.

As Medical Department head, Yang Shenmin excelled in traditional Chinese medicine and mastered weapon enchantment.

He commanded significant respect among Yangshan’s residents.

Furthermore, Yang Shenmin’s prudent and cautious nature ensured steady, calm management.

Having him in charge of Yangshan put Liang Yuan’s mind at ease.

Once Yangshan affairs were settled, Liang Yuan grabbed a speedboat and departed alongside Ni Qi.

En route, Liang Yuan questioned, "What’s the deal with Li Qinghua and the crew? Where exactly did they spot the Genetic Species mutant beast?"

Ni Qi shook his head, "I’m in the dark on the specifics; Brother Qinghua just mentioned this outing could bring rewards and put me in charge of his paper factory."

Liang Yuan furrowed his brow, realizing Ni Qi lacked detailed knowledge.

He pressed on, "Where’s the location?"

Ni Qi answered, "I checked with Brother Qinghua; this wrinkle space lies in the High-tech City region, around the junction of Technology City and Eco City."

Liang Yuan pictured the High-tech Zone map. The zone sprawled widely, split into numerous districts.

Technology City and Eco City sat on the outskirts, with Eco City hugging Linjiang’s border.

Typically, strong ecological spots signal untouched lands.

Such areas remained mostly countryside.

Yet Linjiang City, a solid second- or third-tier hub, boasted high-rises even in Eco City near Technology City.

Post-flood, survivors likely lingered in those structures.

Still, Liang Yuan hadn’t anticipated a wrinkle space there too.

He pondered its size and stability.

A sufficiently vast space might serve as another survivor stronghold.

This notion briefly crossed Liang Yuan’s thoughts.

Priority one: locate that wrinkle area.

With that in mind, Liang Yuan gunned the speedboat, speeding toward Technology City’s fringe.

In merely half a day, the boat sliced through most of the High-tech Zone, arriving at Technology City’s border.

A boundless watery vista stretched everywhere.

They neared Eco City now, where few tall buildings persisted.

Scattered structures barely poked above the waves.

Ni Qi scanned the surroundings, stating, "I know it’s around here, but the precise spot escapes me."

Liang Yuan paused briefly, then declared, "We’ll query some locals."

A wrinkle space surely bore unique traits, noticeable to nearby dwellers.

The pair rowed their boat toward a half-submerged neighborhood.

This modest community featured just dozens of buildings, probably a compact residential project.

They neared one structure.

A sudden whoosh pierced the air from overhead!

"Woo——!"

Liang Yuan glanced skyward, spotting an arrow hurtling from the roof toward them.

His eyes sharpened as Ni Qi blurted, "Ambush!"

Before Liang Yuan could act, Ni Qi flung a coin-like metal disc.

A brilliant glow erupted from his palm, expanding the metal swiftly into a shield over two meters tall, shielding them both.

Clang!

The arrow slammed into the shield with a sharp ring.

Ni Qi glared upward from the rooftop as the shield contracted rapidly and returned to his hand.

"Woo——"

Right after, shrill alarms blared from the facing rooftop.

Piercing and frantic, akin to a traffic officer’s whistle.

Crossbow-wielding figures emerged on the roof.

Liang Yuan clapped Ni Qi’s shoulder, "Stay calm; let’s observe first."

With rising waters, this building’s original thirty-plus floors now showed only seven or eight above the surface.

Near Linjiang, floods surged higher.

Those few floors? Liang Yuan’s power let him bound up effortlessly.

Soon, a voice yelled from the rooftop.

"Where’d you come from?"

Liang Yuan eyed the raincoat-clad figure, face hidden.

He replied gravely, "Just passing through, looking to ask locals a few questions."

After brief murmurs above, the raincoat boss called, "What info do you seek?"

Liang Yuan cut to the chase, "I heard of strange happenings nearby, maybe space-related; anyone know details?"

The raincoat leader countered, "What’s our cut for spilling?"

Liang Yuan pulled a ramen pack from his inventory, "One ramen for the intel."

His offer ignited buzz among the rooftop crowd.

"That dude’s got ramen!"

"Whoa, ramen after all this time since the flood?"

"Man, I’ve nearly forgotten instant noodles’ flavor."

The raincoat leader silenced them with a raised hand.

He bellowed, "One pack won’t cut it!"

Liang Yuan scowled, "Just info—ain’t one pack sufficient?"

"Nope, ten packs, then I’ll talk!"

Liang Yuan sneered, "Refuse, and others will chat. We’re out."

He spun the boat, aiming for another building’s residents.

As Liang Yuan prepared to depart, the raincoat leader panicked, "Kid, you think you can just leave whenever?"

With that, he seized a steel bar, wrenched it with a grind until it snapped.

Then he hurled the bar at Liang Yuan with mighty force!

Woo——!

The air whistled sharply.

Liang Yuan’s stare iced over.

This guy packed decent strength, around 40 points at least!

An average superhuman might fail to block it!

He’d only stopped to inquire, yet they turned hostile—clearly no good eggs.

Thus, spiritual power shifted to telekinesis; with a hum, the flying steel bar froze midair.

Instantly, Liang Yuan’s telekinesis whipped it back, whistling fiercer!

Puchi!

The raincoat man failed to evade; the bar speared his skull.

It kept going, twisting amid screams, puches echoing with rooftop wails.

To Ni Qi, Liang Yuan ordered, "Hang tight here!"

He vaulted skyward, soaring to the roof.

Ni Qi observed, envy flickering.

"Someday, I wanna be that powerful."

Yet he wryly shook his head—his [Enlarge and Shrink] power wouldn’t mimic Mr. Liang’s flight over floods.

Under two minutes later, Liang Yuan descended, dragging a gaunt man from the roof.

The captive’s arms dangled broken, face ashen from brutal interrogation.

Liang Yuan demanded, "Which way?"

"Westward, that way."

The broken-armed man trembled, chin-pointing in terror.

Ni Qi fired up the speedboat, bolting west, inquiring, "Mr. Liang, get the scoop?"

Liang Yuan dipped his head, "Locals mentioned a bustling cultural and sports center west near Eco City."

"Post-flood, every building there vanished."

"Scavengers headed for supplies never came back—all gone."

Ni Qi lit up, "Sounds like prime wrinkle space territory."

Liang Yuan agreed faintly, "We’ll see upon arrival."

Guided by the broken-armed captive, they reached the former cultural and sports center.

Liang Yuan surveyed the desolate waterscape—empty, void of features save endless flood.

Yet instinct screamed anomaly.

No floating wreckage dotted this water!

Highly irregular.

Liang Yuan scanned the zone, extending spiritual power outward.

It probed steadily until hundreds of meters, then stalled against an unseen barrier.

Shocked, Liang Yuan’s eyes gleamed; he cocked a fist and punched empty air.

Boom!

Immense force erupted, birthing a roaring fire dragon that charged ahead.

At a hundred meters, it detonated against nothingness.

Then the dragon’s left flank got swallowed by void, vanishing utterly.

Liang Yuan laughed triumphantly, "Got it!"

Ni Qi perked up, "Mr. Liang, dive in now?"

"Affirmative."

"And him?" Ni Qi nodded at the captive.

Liang Yuan scoffed, "Toss him on the boat to survive solo."

Up in that building, mostly burly men prowled, women locked away stripped and abused.

The crimes spoke for themselves.

Hence Liang Yuan’s ruthless purge.

No pity for such scum.

"No, please! You promised to free me!"

The captive pleaded desperately.

Liang Yuan replied coolly, "Didn’t I release you?"

He hoisted and flung the man into the waters.

Armless in that expanse, drowning seemed inevitable.

Retrieving the speedboat, Liang Yuan and Ni Qi plunged toward the flame-devouring void.

They smashed through a sheer film, a brief choke gripping them.

Ni Qi barely registered before vision blurred—Liang Yuan yanked him across into utter darkness!

The realm mimicked midnight.

Waves lapped with churning echoes.

Ahead loomed land and building silhouettes.

No sun shone; only glowing underwater flora and fauna lit faintly.

All this left Ni Qi reeling.

Like trading day’s blaze for night’s embrace.

"Is this the wrinkled space?"
