Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food Chapter 1294 - 628: Granny Li Has Rendered Great Service

Upon hearing Liang Yuan's words, a flicker of surprise crossed Liang Yuan's face as he inquired, "Weren't the inhabitants here originally members of the Earth Mother Sect?"

Li Qinghua responded by shaking her head, explaining, "No, we were concerned that keeping the original Earth Mother Sect members might lead to complications. Therefore, Zhao Kai and I decided to arrange a hostage exchange."

"The majority of the people under my care are from the Water God Sect, while Zhao Kai's faction has secured the members of the Earth Mother Sect."

"This arrangement ensures that even if any Earth Mother Sect remnants are active outside, they cannot incite the Water God Sect captives currently with me."

"The same principle applies to Zhao Kai's side as well."

A chuckle escaped Liang Yuan upon understanding the strategy.

He gave a resounding thumbs-up, remarking with a grin, "A brilliant tactic! You two have managed this exceptionally well."

Li Qinghua offered a wry smile, admitting, "This strategy was inspired by your own methods when you handled the Meishan situation previously."

Liang Yuan let out a hearty laugh at her comment.

He recalled how, after he assumed control of Meishan, the populace hailed from the same village. Fearing that their continued presence might impede his future plans for Meishan's development and potentially stir up trouble, he devised a plan.

Under the guise of providing an opportunity for service, he orchestrated the relocation of these villagers to Yangshan for development.

Concurrently, the original inhabitants of Yangshan were moved to Meishan.

This strategic maneuver significantly diminished the risk of internal strife and firmly cemented his authority.

It was rather impressive, he mused, how effectively Zhao Kai and Li Qinghua had adapted and implemented this strategy.

"What is the current situation with the Subdistrict Office?" Liang Yuan inquired, his curiosity piqued.

Li Qinghua smiled and replied, "The concept of the Subdistrict Office was an idea proposed by Granny Li. She established it with the aim of fostering a stronger sense of identity among these individuals, engaging them in daily ideological guidance."

"I've observed that this approach is remarkably effective; persistent effort in this direction will undoubtedly lead to a genuine shift in their perspectives, garnering their support."

"Initially, these individuals were swayed by the Water God Sect's indoctrination and joined their ranks, yet their lives remained far from satisfactory."

"Now, having integrated with us, we have effectively liberated their minds, allowing them to embrace our leadership with true sincerity."

"Furthermore, considering the abundant resources we provide, what logical reason would they have to reject our offer?"

Liang Yuan's laughter echoed once more upon hearing her explanation.

"Granny Li, with her extensive experience as a party member, truly possesses remarkable foresight. Her contributions have been invaluable."

A wave of laughter ensued from Li Qinghua and the group of old Yangshan followers accompanying her.

Everyone was familiar with Granny Li's signature phrase: 'We are party members.'

However, this was not uttered lightly or humorously; it conveyed genuine respect and conviction.

The party members of Granny Li's generation embodied a spirit of true service to the people and unwavering selflessness.

"Mr. Liang, this setting is not ideal for our conversation. Allow me to escort you to the office for a more comfortable discussion," Li Qinghua offered politely.

Liang Yuan declined with a shake of his head, stating, "There's no need. My primary purpose for visiting was to assess the situation here. Additionally, I have a few crucial points I need to convey to you."

Li Qinghua's expression immediately turned serious upon hearing his words, "Has something significant occurred?"

Liang Yuan gave a slight nod, confirming, "A contingent of individuals from Yu Province, identifying themselves as part of a force called Mengya Company, is currently en route to Yangshan."

"They have already reached Furong Valley. According to intelligence gathered from that area, these individuals are traveling with an armored convoy and possess advanced superpower technology, suggesting they are a formidable group."

"Their intentions upon arriving in Yangshan remain unclear; whether they are friend or foe is yet to be determined."

"I came specifically to caution you and urge vigilance in the coming days."

"Furthermore, I intend to pay a visit to the Dove Faction Military Base!"

Li Qinghua's eyes widened in astonishment, "Visiting the Dove Faction Military Base? Mr. Liang, is that not exceedingly dangerous?"

"Did you not previously state the principle, 'A gentleman does not stand beneath a dangerous wall'? After all, that location is the stronghold of the Dove Faction."

Liang Yuan responded with a confident smile, "While it may have once posed a significant threat to me, that is no longer the case."

"You've achieved another breakthrough?" Li Qinghua reacted swiftly, her voice laced with surprise.

Liang Yuan smiled, explaining, "My progress in gene recombination has seen some improvement. Both you and Zhao Kai have now reached the benchmark of 100 points in your primary attributes. It is indeed time to seriously consider undertaking gene recombination."

"However, gene recombination inherently carries certain risks. Do not approach it with haste; extreme caution is paramount."

Li Qinghua let out a wry chuckle, confessing, "I had no inkling of the profound difficulty involved in gene recombination until reaching this stage."

"The human genome comprises countless genes. The endeavor to pinpoint specific genes on the genetic map for splicing and integration is akin to searching for a single needle within a colossal haystack. I truly marvel at your cultivation methods."

It was only upon confronting the intricate process of gene recombination that Li Qinghua truly grasped its immense challenge.

Liang Yuan sighed, remarking, "Although the sheer number of genes is vast, a significant portion of them are, in fact, redundant or repetitive."

"This procedure necessitates meticulous discernment to distinguish between essential and extraneous genes, thereby preventing erroneous recombinations."

"Don’t worry, I’m researching solutions to help everyone accelerate the identification of miscellaneous genes."

Li Qinghua’s heart swelled with joy, "Is there truly such a method?"

Liang Yuan offered a smile, "Naturally. Before the great flood, didn’t we possess technologies like genetic screening, correct?"

"There’s no fundamental reason why we cannot revive existing technologies, is there?"

"Wonderful, that’s truly excellent!"

Li Qinghua exclaimed, slapping his thigh in applause. He had been wrestling with this specific hurdle for an extended period, teetering on the edge of despair.

Space-type superpowers possess a nature distinct from ordinary superpowers; apparently, the genetic map for this specific classification proves more challenging to recombine.

The primary reason is that space genes constitute a remarkably small proportion within the body.

And the lesser the proportion of any gene, the more arduous its awakening becomes, consequently leading to a scarcity of superpower users of this particular type.

This very reason explains why, up to this moment, the sole space superpower user Liang Yuan had encountered was Li Qinghua.

Furthermore, a gene’s diminished proportion not only complicates the awakening of its associated ability but also renders the subsequent gene recombination process exceedingly difficult.

This factor is precisely what accounts for Li Qinghua’s prolonged delay in gene recombination.

"Mr. Liang, your visit to the Dove Faction Base is for the purpose of investigating the Celestial Abyss passage, isn't that right?" Li Qinghua steered the conversation back to its initial trajectory, inquiring about Liang Yuan’s objective for being there.

Liang Yuan replied with a deep tone, "My purpose extends beyond merely inspecting the so-called Celestial Abyss passage; I also intend for Zhang Yujiang to relinquish someone to me."

Li Qinghua paused, a flicker of realization crossing his features, before quickly deducing Liang Yuan’s desired individual.

"You wish for them to hand over Pei Yuanhu?"

Liang Yuan gave a slight nod. "Although we have successfully secured the Miyuan Rainforest, the Heart Core and Brain Core of the Miyuan Rainforest remain in Pei Yuanhu’s possession; in the strictest sense, the Miyuan Rainforest is not yet entirely under our dominion."

"Therefore, during this impending visit, it is imperative that he fully surrenders the heart core and brain core of the Miyuan Rainforest!"

Li Qinghua could not refrain from remarking, "I fear this may prove rather challenging. That is a floating island, after all. Will Pei Yuanhu willingly comply?"

"Willing or not, he shall comply!"

Liang Yuan’s gaze turned sharp, a cold sneer playing on his lips.

"Mr. Liang, with your current formidable strength, apprehending Pei Yuanhu should not pose a significant obstacle. However, I harbor concerns that the military might intervene to shield him."

"Be aware that Zhang Yujiang and Feng Jiangong are both adept at the genetic recombination level; they are not individuals to be underestimated."

Li Qinghua hesitated for a brief moment before resolving to issue this cautionary advice.

Liang Yuan’s eyes flashed with a subtle intensity as he declared, "We shall soon ascertain whether they can indeed protect him!"

Upon hearing this declaration, Li Qinghua felt a jolt of surprise, instinctively sensing that the extent of Liang Yuan’s recent power increase was likely quite substantial.

Otherwise, such unshakeable confidence would be inexplicable.

After a brief sojourn in Yellow Earth Divine Origin, Liang Yuan departed from that location and promptly journeyed towards the vicinity of Denggong Mountain, arriving directly above the Miyuan Rainforest.

Due to the presence of a protective barrier surrounding Miyuan Rainforest, ordinary individuals are barred from entering unnoticed.

However, this time, Liang Yuan had no intention of engaging in clandestine reconnaissance; he proceeded to approach Miyuan Rainforest openly.

Instantly, an individual emerged from within the confines of the base.

"Mr. Liang!"

The individual who emerged recognized Liang Yuan immediately, an expression of astonishment blooming on their face.

Witnessing this, Liang Yuan also broke into a smile. It was none other than Chang Yan, formerly of the Youth Superpower Team from Sunshine New City!

Liang Yuan chuckled and inquired, "So, it is you? Are you also stationed within Miyuan Rainforest?"

Chang Yan beamed with delight, responding, "Indeed. I served as the patrol squad leader at Meishan previously. Later, Captain Zhao expressed his intention to relocate here, so we accompanied him."

"Mr. Liang, why did you not inform us of your arrival in advance? We were wholly unprepared."

Liang Yuan laughed heartily, replying, "My intention was precisely that – to observe your preparedness and assess how you have managed this domain."

Hearing this, Chang Yan appeared somewhat abashed, asking, "Should I notify Captain Zhao Kai?"

Liang Yuan smiled and responded, "There is no need for haste. Escort me inside first."

"Certainly."

Chang Yan, upon receiving this instruction, promptly nodded, turned, and proceeded to deactivate the water flow barrier.

Observing this sequence of events, Liang Yuan subtly shook his head.

Chang Yan, it seemed, still lacked sufficient experience, not even bothering to verify his identity.

From this perspective, the security protocols at Miyuan Rainforest clearly did not possess the same level of stringency as those at Yellow Earth Divine Origin.

Upon entering the protected area, members of the surrounding patrol squads began to converge, extending their greetings to Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan surveyed the individuals present, recognizing many familiar faces, and responded with a smiling nod.

"Everyone, please resume your duties without distraction."

Ultimately, Chang Yan addressed the gathered personnel, directing them to return to their respective posts.

She then took to the air, accompanying Liang Yuan and providing him with details regarding the recent transformations within Miyuan Rainforest.

Liang Yuan’s gaze passively swept across the landscape, noting the proliferation of newly constructed houses within Miyuan Rainforest.

Furthermore, vast expanses were cleared within the rainforest and abundant crops were sown.

A barrier effectively prevented the frigid external air from penetrating.

While snow could not descend into this area, it would periodically melt and fall as rainwater within the rainforest.

This climate truly created a natural haven for plant cultivation, living up to its name as a rainforest.

"Mr. Liang, specialists from the agricultural department conducted a survey here and declared it a natural granary."

"Their recommendation was to cultivate crops, transforming this locale into the primary food source for the entirety of Yangshan’s controlled territories."

Liang Yuan offered a slight nod, completely agreeing with Chang Yan’s assessment.

"This place is indeed a treasure. Yet, the people of the Water God Sect do not focus on advancing their cultivation. Instead of utilizing such a prime location for agriculture, they spread their cult."

He voiced his thoughts while glancing below at the numerous individuals engaged in farming.

Among them were many individuals possessing Earth Attribute Superpowers, their abilities employed to effortlessly turn over large chunks of soil.

Wood Attribute Superpower Users were also present, accelerating the growth of seedlings and ensuring their successful establishment.

Contentment was evident on their faces, each one appearing quite pleased.

"Are these members of the Earth Mother Sect?" Liang Yuan inquired.

Chang Yan affirmed with a nod, stating, "The majority are, and many are Earth Attribute Superpower Users."

"However, we conduct regular ideological sessions daily, liberating them from the Earth Mother Sect’s brainwashing. Now, a significant number fully embrace Yangshan’s principles."

Liang Yuan chuckled lightly, posing the question, "Did Granny Li impart that strategy to you?"

"Huh, you’re aware of that?" Chang Yan expressed his surprise.

Liang Yuan erupted in hearty laughter, explaining that Granny Li’s Yangshan ideology had permeated numerous regions within Yangshan.

Its influence extended beyond Yangshan and Meishan, reaching Mirage Snake Space, and now encompassing Yellow Earth Divine Origin and Miyuan Rainforest as well.

Following his tour, Liang Yuan observed that the development here was substantial, not trailing behind Yellow Earth Divine Origin in any significant way.

The two locations pursued distinct developmental paths; Miyuan Rainforest prioritized ecological advancement and widespread cultivation across the island.

Conversely, Yellow Earth Divine Origin adopted a more militaristic approach, emphasizing defense and rigorous training, serving as a hub for cultivating combat prowess.

Liang Yuan departed with a sense of profound satisfaction after this inspection.

Shortly thereafter, Zhao Kai, having received the summons, hurried to the location.

"Brother Liang, what brings you here?"

Liang Yuan turned to Zhao Kai, a smile gracing his lips, "I have a matter to discuss with you. Please accompany me to the Dove Faction Military Base."

"Traveling to the Dove Faction Military Base?" Zhao Kai appeared taken aback, questioning with evident doubt, "For what purpose?"

Liang Yuan responded with a smile, "Naturally, to finalize the ownership of Miyuan Rainforest!"
