Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food Chapter 1269 - 603: Fanshan Island Occupied

As time flowed onward, the subsequent week saw Liang Yuan quite active.

Numerous matters required his decisive judgment.

Crucial personnel assignments, particularly those bound for locations like the Miyuan Rainforest and Yellow Earth Divine Origin, were among the decisions he needed to finalize.

The research department, under the direct leadership of Professor Li Hanzhong, had already ventured to Cangqiong Mountain to engage with the Dove Faction Military, seeking to acquire advanced superpower technologies.

Concurrently, Old Ma, Xue Guohua, and Zhai Guofeng each commanded three construction teams, embarking on essential infrastructure work at the Miyuan Rainforest, Yellow Earth Divine Origin, and the Dark Abyss Mouth.

Over at the Ministry of Agriculture, Song Wen and Granny Li also deployed their teams to follow the construction crews. Their mission involved not only gathering mutant species but also evaluating island environments to ascertain which flora would be most viable for cultivation.

Within the Leader’s Mansion, Liang Yuan was engrossed in a report. Standing in the dimly lit shadows beside him was Wu Ying, the current overseer of the Dark Abyss Mouth.

The document Liang Yuan held detailed intelligence gathered during Wu Ying’s tenure at the Dark Abyss Mouth.

"So, you're saying that after the residents of Fanshan Island relocated to Dark Abyss Mouth, their original island, Fanshan Island, was subsequently occupied by another faction originating from Baoshan City?"

Having finished the report, Liang Yuan arched an eyebrow slightly.

Fanshan Island was a modest islet he had discovered on his return journey to Yangshan, after leaving the Dark Abyss Mouth.

The island, barely a hundred meters in height, had a temporary shelter established by a police officer named Li Hao.

When Liang Yuan initially landed on Fanshan Island, seeking information about its geography, he encountered Nie Xin, a young girl engaged in hunting.

Nie Xin had explained that the inhabitants of Fanshan Island had initially looked to Li Hao for leadership primarily because he was a police officer and possessed a firearm, which naturally positioned him as their authority figure.

However, as time wore on, many individuals awakened superpowers, rendering firearms less effective and diminishing the significance of Li Hao's former profession.

This situation was exacerbated when Li Hao himself awakened a strength-based superpower.

It is commonly understood that pure strength and agility superpowers are at a disadvantage compared to others.

Especially when confronting users of elemental abilities, those with strength and agility powers often find it difficult to inflict harm on opponents who have elementalized their bodies.

Only with specialized superpower weaponry could agility and strength-based abilities manifest truly formidable combat prowess.

Considering the developmental stage of Fanshan Island, it was highly improbable they possessed any advanced superpower weaponry.

Consequently, Li Hao's leadership became profoundly precarious.

Though he was a fundamentally good man, embodying the compassion and duty ingrained from his police background,

his subordinates grew increasingly disinclined to heed his directives.

Under such circumstances, the natural progression would likely have led to Li Hao's leadership being usurped, possibly plunging him into a life-threatening predicament.

After all, the world was never short of ambitious individuals, and the advent of superpowers often emboldened those with overwhelming personal strength to abandon their dormancy.

Fanshan Island, and Li Hao himself, were fortunate.

Before any internal strife on Fanshan Island could escalate into a full-blown crisis, Liang Yuan appeared.

Li Hao acted with swift resolve; upon learning that Liang Yuan commanded a Floating Island and, furthermore, that Liang Yuan was a Spiritual Power User capable of flight,

he unhesitatingly relinquished his leadership. Decisively, he guided the survivors of Fanshan Island to seek sanctuary under Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan accepted them, orchestrating their immediate relocation to the Floating Island within the Dark Abyss Mouth, thereby granting them a means of survival.

Wu Ying confirmed in a somber tone, "Indeed, Mr. Liang. Fanshan Island has presently been taken over by a faction from Baoshan City."

"This group likely hails from Yang Baoshan. Intelligence gathered by the shadow troops suggests they endured a coup in Yang Baoshan, which they failed, leading to their expulsion and eventual arrival at Fanshan Island."

Liang Yuan inquired, "Have you engaged them?"

It was important to remember that despite its small size, Fanshan Island had been the territory of Li Hao and his people.

Now that Li Hao and his group had pledged their allegiance to Liang Yuan and become part of the Dark Abyss Mouth, Fanshan Island rightfully belonged to Liang Yuan.

Given that this new group had seized Fanshan Island, Wu Ying could hardly stand idly by.

Wu Ying conveyed a sense of frustration, stating, "We did engage them, but the opposing side boasts individuals whose primary attributes surpass 90 points."

Wu Ying had managed to condense his genetic species relatively late. Only after Liang Yuan's return and his gifting of a Dark Attribute Blood Crystal was Wu Ying able to successfully condense a Dark Attribute Genetic Species.

Liang Yuan regarded him and asked, "And what is your primary attribute at this moment?"

"57 points."

Wu Ying felt a pang of shame; his breakthrough to 50 main attributes had been delayed, and overseeing the Floating Island at Dark Abyss Mouth meant his superpower progress was somewhat sluggish.

However, he had been genuinely putting in the effort.

One had to consider that Liang Yuan had only returned a few days prior, and Wu Ying hadn't possessed the genetic species for an extended period.

Yet, he had managed to cultivate to 57 points so rapidly, a testament to his considerable exertion.

Certainly, such strength might not be entirely sufficient for overseeing a Floating Island.

Within any of the mid-tier institutions of the Three Great Sects, their leaders possessed far greater power than Wu Ying.

Nevertheless, the circumstances of the Floating Island at Dark Abyss Mouth were uniquely different.

It was important to recognize that Dark Abyss Mouth was a Floating Island of the Dark Attribute.

When superpower users of other attributes ventured onto this island, their combat capabilities were significantly diminished.

Conversely, Dark Attribute Superpower Users could flourish on this island, potentially doubling their combat effectiveness.

Furthermore, the island was home to a Shadow Dragon, boasting a main attribute of up to one hundred points; in terms of security, it was actually more formidable than Miyuan Rainforest and Yellow Earth Divine Origin.

Even the Mirage Snake Space, where Li Qinghua resided, couldn't entirely match the might of the Floating Island at Dark Abyss Mouth in specific aspects.

Consequently, Liang Yuan felt a considerable sense of ease entrusting this island to Wu Ying's care.

"Not bad, such significant improvement in such a short span. It appears the environment at the Dark Abyss Mouth is indeed quite conducive to your cultivation."

A flicker of emotion crossed Wu Ying's face as he responded, "Indeed, the Floating Island at Dark Abyss Mouth is saturated with dark energy. My cultivation using the Yangshan Gene Activation Technique on this island is advancing at an astonishing pace."

"Moreover, my combat power there is practically at its zenith. Even the inhabitants of Fanshan Island pose virtually no threat to me."

"However, should I relocate to Fanshan Island, the loss of the locational advantage would prove problematic."

This very issue was the reason Wu Ying sought an audience with Liang Yuan.

Fanshan Island had been claimed by those who had fled from Yang Baoshan.

Among these refugees were formidable individuals whose main attributes surpassed 90 points.

Facing such experts, he felt entirely incapable of dealing with them effectively.

Liang Yuan, fully comprehending his predicament, contemplated the situation before stating, "Very well, allow me to dispatch Zhang Peng and a few others to that location."

Although Zhang Peng had returned to Yang Mountain somewhat late, his strength was considerable.

His Merfolk transformation ability endowed him with exceptional underwater combat prowess, particularly excelling in close-quarters engagements.

Furthermore, as a Physique Ability User, this category of genetic species was actually relatively accessible.

After obtaining the Mirage Snake Space, Zhang Peng was among the earliest to acquire the blood of the mutated genetic beast.

His main attribute now exceeded 70 points, placing him among the elite ranks in Yang Mountain.

Not only that, but his initial team members, Gao Yucheng, Wen Xiao, and the siblings Wen Fang, had also demonstrated outstanding performance.

They had not only successfully condensed their genetic species but Wen Xiao's telekinesis had also surpassed the 70-point mark.

While Yang Mountain might not boast a large number of peak experts, its mid-tier experts were relatively potent.

Dispatching Zhang Peng and the others on this occasion also served as an opportunity to hone their capabilities.

Additionally, Liang Yuan had recently conversed with Zhang Peng, who remained deeply concerned about his girlfriend, Wen Lili, who vanished when Turtle Island was submerged.

Recounting the events of that day, Zhang Peng mentioned being ensnared by seaweed, preventing his immediate escape from Turtle Island.

Wen Lili, however, had managed to escape earlier, and he harbored a strong suspicion that she was still alive.

During the period when Spirit Jade Island was docked at Yangshan Floating Bridge Port, Zhang Peng had diligently scoured Spirit Jade Island for her almost daily.

Until he personally witnessed the remains of Lili, he adamantly refused to accept her demise.

Sending Zhang Peng to Fanshan Island this time might also provide him with a much-needed respite and perhaps an opportunity to continue his search for his former beloved.

Wu Ying voiced his concerns hesitantly, "Although Zhang Peng and his companions are quite formidable, the contingent on Fanshan Island includes masters whose main attributes exceed 90 points."

"Mr. Liang, I fear..."

He trailed off, clearly apprehensive that Zhang Peng and the others might not be able to surmount the challenge.

Liang Yuan let out a sigh, "Yang Mountain indeed possesses too few top-tier experts. Apart from myself, Li Qinghua's close combat cultivation progresses the fastest, yet he has only reached 86 points at present."

"Currently, Zhao Kai has led a contingent to Miyuan Rainforest, and Qinghua has taken his people to Yellow Earth Divine Origin."

"At this moment, Yang Mountain, Meishan, Jueyun Slope, and Mirage Snake Space are all consolidated under my direct command."

"Therefore, I find it exceedingly difficult to allocate more high-level experts to your aid."

"So, after you return, do not be in a hurry to take back Fanshan Island."

"First, you must investigate the situation in Baoshan City and discern the reasons why these individuals fled from Yang Baoshan."

"Utilize this period to diligently cultivate and enhance your cultivation level."

"Moreover, focus on gathering refugees, as the population will become the most significant resource in the days to come."

Wu Ying nodded, internalizing Liang Yuan’s directives.

It was true that Yang Mountain currently lacked sufficient foundation and a considerable number of experts.

"Understood, Mr. Liang, I shall then go and seek out Zhang Peng for a discussion."

Liang Yuan gave a slight nod, "Proceed."

As Wu Ying disappeared into the shadows, a contemplative expression flickered across Liang Yuan’s face.

"It appears the opportune moment has arrived to converse with those ensnared within the Shadow World."

During his counter-offensive against the Three Great Sects, he had managed to capture numerous masters from their ranks.

Among them were Deng Ze, the Priest of Heavy Water from the Water God Sect; Fang Hao, the Desert Watcher from the Earth Mother Sect; and Qi Hongwen, the President of the Evangelical Mission.

Their individual power was considerable, yet in Liang Yuan's presence, they had appeared quite feeble.

Nevertheless, when considered independently, each of them was indeed a capable individual.

Calculating the passage of time, with the exception of Deng Ze, the others had been confined within the Shadow World, a creation of the Dark Abyss Mouth, for almost a full week.

The rank-and-file followers apprehended from the Three Great Sects had already been dispatched to serve on the Floating Island of the Dark Abyss Mouth.

Now, only a select few experts remained.

Liang Yuan's mind stirred, and the shadow behind him writhed, causing the Dark Abyss Mouth to materialize.

Liang Yuan stepped through the opening, perceiving the dimension of the Shadow World within.

Not far ahead, a cluster of shadowy figures lay huddled together on the ground, their spirits low, their faint murmurs reaching his ears.
