Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food Chapter 1183 - 524: Li Qinghua’s Transformation

Three days afterward, at Little Straw Mountain.

"Mr. Liang, we've combed through nearly every possible spot. Yet, Old Ge remains nowhere to be found." Zhou Qingming let out a helpless sigh.

Standing by Liang Yuan's side, Han Xiangman couldn't restrain herself and questioned, "How is it we haven't located him? Old Ge holds the power of a Flame Superpower User; even I might struggle to overpower him with ease."

Meng Youyou, from nearby, drew the restless Han Xiangman away, murmuring a few phrases while quietly employing Spiritual Power to calm her feelings.

Two days prior, Li Xiangyang and Ding Yan had returned to Yangshan primarily to confirm their safety and also to shift some personnel from Yangshan into this Mirage Snake Space.

Old Ma took charge of Yangshan's rebuilding efforts after the disaster and thus couldn't join them here.

In his place, he dispatched his reliable subordinates, Xue Guohua and Zhai Guofeng, to hurry over.

Furthermore, Han Xiangman, Meng Youyou, and the rest were escorted here, as Xia Ming and Old Ge had originally trailed Han Xiangman to Yangshan.

Besides this group, Tang Dechang arrived with experts in farming and a dedicated team to aid Li Qinghua in advancing agriculture here.

Since this realm functions as a Floating Island variety, Li Qinghua, its master, wields total authority over it.

Therefore, defense requires only a handful of people; most fighters stay stationed at Yangshan.

After discussions between Li Qinghua and Liang Yuan, they concurred that this location could act as Yangshan's strategic reserve.

They planned to relocate Yangshan's farming, livestock, weaponry, and healthcare initiatives into the Mirage Snake Space.

Going forward, Yangshan would prioritize building fighting forces and trade hubs.

After all, exposed in plain view, Yangshan draws too much attention, lacking the concealment of the Mirage Snake Space.

Should the floods keep surging and submerge Yangshan along with other peaks, the Mirage Snake Space would stand as Yangshan's ultimate sanctuary.

Naturally, what lies ahead remains uncertain.

In Liang Yuan's strategy, he aims to claim an unoccupied Floating Island someday to establish as the central stronghold.

Any sharp-eyed person realizes that with floods escalating this way.

Possessing a Floating Island ensures survival until the end amid this massive deluge.

Yet Liang Yuan hadn't anticipated that prior to securing another Floating Island, Li Qinghua had already seized one.

What's more, it's a Spatial Floating Island tied to her own abilities.

In truth, this Spatial Floating Island surpasses ordinary Floating Islands in potency.

It avoids problems like relentless rains and inundations, plus it boasts excellent stealth features.

This stems from a folded space being invisible to the unaided eye.

The sole drawback could be the absence of sunlight in this Mirage Snake Space.

Fortunately, that's no major hurdle, as Mutated Sunflowers can fully transform the space's ecosystem.

Liang Yuan gazed at the worried Han Xiangman and remarked, "Xiangman, the situation may not be as dire as you fear; Old Ge might have stumbled upon an exit from this space unintentionally."

"Rest assured, should he linger within this space, we'll surely track him down at Little Straw Mountain eventually."

With tears welling in her eyes, Han Xiangman replied, "Apologies, I let my emotions get the better of me. It's because they followed me to Yangshan, and with Xia Ming already lost, I... I truly can't bear losing Old Ge too..."

Her voice broke as she uttered those words.

Liang Yuan sighed softly and offered her some comforting remarks.

Meng Youyou and the others gently reassured her as well.

Shortly after, Li Qinghua walked up accompanied by a woman in her thirties.

This was Lin Wan, the first among the devoted followers.

The expert in Transformation abilities.

Both Zhou Qingming and Li Qinghua called her 'Sister Wan'.

On this occasion, she entered the Mirage Snake Space alongside the group immediately.

And had remained close to Li Qinghua during these recent days.

"Mr. Liang, we've thoroughly scanned the Mirage Snake Space; eleven Genetic Mutation Beasts in total have been detected."

"Nine lurked beneath the water; just two roamed the land."

"One occupies Yuyang Peak, the other in Hongjin Bay District."

In the last couple of days, Liang Yuan had subdued four or five Genetic Species Level Mutation Beasts.

Including the Mutated Giant Crocodile and Mutated Jellyfish.

All Genetic Mutation Beasts now carry implanted Parasite Species, letting him pinpoint their locations precisely.

Through his fierce 'lessons', these Genetic Mutation Beasts had submitted obediently.

Liang Yuan inquired, "What kinds of Mutation Beasts are left?"

Li Qinghua answered swiftly, "Predominantly Water Attribute Mutation Beasts; the mutant dog at Hongjin Bay is a Gold Attribute Mutation Beast."

"The Mutated Bamboo Vine atop Yuyang Peak belongs to the Wood Attribute Mutation Beasts."

"Beneath the waves, two exceptional ones exist: a Mutated Electric Eel, scarce Thunder Attribute Mutation Beast."

"The other is Barracuda, a speed-focused Agility-type Mutation Beast!"

"The others are all Water Attribute Mutation Beasts."

Joy filled Liang Yuan as he exclaimed, "Excellent, such a diverse array of Mutation Beasts—looks like Yangshan’s Superpower Users are in luck."

He inquired further, "Just how powerful are these Mutation Beasts?"

Li Qinghua gave a wry smile at the question, "Way stronger than I am. Using the Spiritual Ability Glasses, I scanned them—the weakest one’s the Mutated Crocodile, and everything else tops 70 points."

Liang Yuan chuckled, "No surprise there; those leftover Genetic Species Mutation Beasts must all surpass 70 points in strength."

"Really? What makes you so sure?" Li Qinghua asked with curiosity.

"Had their power been under 70 points, Wu Yaobang would’ve long devised plans to take them down."

"No one knows where his main body hides, but any Genetic Species Mutation Beast slain gets shipped off secretly to empower his entity."

"Got it," Li Qinghua understood, though frustration crept in, "With all that rich Spiritual Energy in the Mirage Snake Space, plenty of Genetic Species Level Mutation Beasts must’ve emerged earlier—and Wu Yaobang probably hunted most of them."

"We arrived way too late!"

Li Qinghua pondered those Mutant Beasts that rightfully should’ve been his, reduced now to just eleven.

A sharp pang hit his heart right away.

Liang Yuan grinned, "Come on, you’ve already scored a massive deal. Wu Yaobang lingered here three months and never spotted it as a Floating Island."

"If he had, he’d have thrown every clone into the fray just to snag that Sword-Tail Sea Snake and extract its inner Heart Core."

Hearing this, Li Qinghua couldn’t suppress a laugh.

Things had truly turned out perfectly in his favor.

Regular folks simply couldn’t detect the Space Heart Core nestled within the Sword-Tail Sea Snake.

Just a Spatial Superpower User like him possessed that sharp intuition.

Liang Yuan had to give him credit for it.

Even he himself, facing the Sword-Tail Sea Snake, might’ve slain it without noticing the refined Heart Core.

Truth be told, Liang Yuan never would’ve guessed a concealed space like that could be a Floating Island!

Most people figured all Floating Islands resembled Mist City—solid landmasses adrift on the waves.

Actually, every discovered Floating Island so far fits that mold.

Be it those found by the Three Great Sects or Mist City itself, they’re all real islands bobbing on water.

That’s precisely why they earn the name ’Floating Islands.’

"Point out the locations of the remaining Mutant Beasts, and I’ll take them down one after another."

Liang Yuan suggested, since right now, only he could overpower these Genetic Mutation Beasts.

Soon after, Little Straw Mountain kicked off a massive building spree.

Yangshan’s newcomers made the work routine and efficient.

Though not as vast as Yangshan or Meishan, Little Straw Mountain offered plenty of buildable land thanks to the Mirage Snake Space’s shallow waters.

Everything followed Yangshan’s blueprint anyway, keeping it straightforward.

Liang Yuan hustled through, capturing every last Genetic Mutation Beast in merely three days.

Along the way, he drew out portions of their essence blood too.

As a result, the Mutant Beasts grew feeble and fully submissive.

With everything settled, Liang Yuan paused and headed back to Little Straw Mountain.

"All the Genetic Mutation Beasts here are handled now. Let them roam their usual spots,"

"Whenever essence blood’s required, harvest it then."

"Just don’t overdo the frequency."

He cautioned Li Qinghua.

Li Qinghua gave a helpless grin, "Only you can pull off essence blood extraction. I won’t risk it till my primary attribute hits 70 points."

Liang Yuan burst into laughter, replying, "Now that you control the Mirage Snake Heart Chamber, packed with Space Blood Crystals for refining, 70 points won’t take long."

Li Qinghua beamed, "I won’t depend solely on Blood Crystals. I plan to train harder myself—over-relying on boosts might weaken my Superpower mastery."

Liang Yuan clapped his shoulder, "Smart thinking. Your potential runs deep."

Li Qinghua let out a sigh, gazing at the bustling workers down the slope.

"Mr. Liang, honestly speaking, I’m just a simple soul. I’ve never aimed for grand accomplishments."

"Initially, survival was my only goal."

"Afterward, I only hoped for enough food."

"But meeting you and joining Yangshan showed me I could achieve greater things."

"I yearn for a secure haven amid this raging flood of wrath and chaos."

"Plus, I wish to safeguard my companions properly."

Hearing these words, Liang Yuan chuckled and replied, "Nobody enters the world destined for epic tasks."

"Human ambitions shift all the time."

"Your power expands, and so do your cravings."

"The goals you chase naturally multiply as well."

"Pursue them boldly—in this Flood World, everything’s possible nowadays."

Li Qinghua pivoted toward Liang Yuan with a sincere gaze, declaring, "Whatever happens, I must thank you, Mr. Liang."

"Without your kindness back then, I’d surely be dead."

Smiling, Liang Yuan dismissed it with a wave, "We simply bonded after our clash; we’re all just striving to thrive."

Li Qinghua grinned too, exclaiming, "Right, to thrive splendidly!"

They exchanged smiles, sharing the camaraderie of true kindred spirits.

Li Qinghua’s outlook had utterly transformed.

From his days as a captive, he rose to join Yangshan and the guard squad.

Later, he stepped away from the guards to launch the Qinghua Paper Mill, progressing steadily.

Astonishingly, he now commanded a Floating Island ahead of Liang Yuan himself.

His future feats promise to shine brilliantly.

Deep down, he knows it all traces back to Mr. Liang’s compassion from those early days.

Following Mr. Liang into Yangshan molded his strategy for conquering the Flood World over time.

Without that, he might have ended up like countless survivors—ruthless and self-serving in their quests.

Both Mr. Liang and Yangshan’s vibe instilled in him a duty called ’protection.’

It showed him that amid doomsday, warmth persists, letting him unite with fellow warriors to endure, clash, and triumph!
