Liang Minru and Lu Dayou are shocked to learn that Yangshan now controls Linjiang City and is at war with Carey Technology and Mengya Company. Liang Yuan explains that the distance is no longer an issue thanks to advanced technology, though navigation remains a problem due to planetary magnetic field changes. He reveals that the entities known as Floating Islands are Star Sky Giant Beasts with their own gravitational fields. Facing the threat of Carey Technology's retaliation, Lu Dayou and Liang Minru decide to pledge allegiance to Yangshan, entrusting their floating island to Liang Yuan's management.

Home...

Liang Minru and Lu Dayou felt a bit bewildered at the moment.

The word home, they hadn’t heard it in a long time.

The flood apocalypse had long since destroyed their respective homes.

Liang Minru was once also a wife, once had her own family.

However, all of this was already gone.

And for Lu Dayou, wherever his daughter was, that was where his home was.

Liang Yuan looked at the two of them and smiled, saying, "Yangshan, that’s the home for all of us."

"Back then, I led everyone away from Meidu Garden; everyone followed me out of trust."

"And I did not let everyone down. We’ve reached Yangshan and established our new home."

"Now that you both are willing to trust me and rejoin Yangshan, the Yangshan Shelter will be your home in the future."

Lu Dayou’s lips trembled slightly, and a warm stream of emotion echoed in his heart.

Who wouldn’t want to live well with a stable living environment?

Here, though he was the leader of these dozens of people, there was no food, no clothing, living like a savage – what’s good about that?

Liang Minru also sighed, thinking about life underground for over a month; she was truly fed up.

No matter what, Mr. Liang hadn’t taken back her brain core, so even if she returned to Yangshan, she shouldn’t be at the bottom anymore, right?

Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but feel a little relaxed.

"Thank you, Mr. Liang. Following you out back then was the best decision of my life," Liang Minru said.

Lu Dayou nodded too, "Yes, if I had stayed in the building at that time, who knows what things would be like now."

The two expressed their feelings for a few more phrases before going out together to announce joining Yangshan.

"Everyone, I officially announce that from today, we are joining Yangshan and becoming members of the Yangshan Shelter."

"Let me introduce you all, this is the leader of the Yangshan Shelter, Liang Yuan, Mr. Liang."

Lu Dayou introduced Liang Yuan to everyone, then continued, "Mr. Liang and I were once neighbors in the same building. We fled the building together and survived step by step to get to this day."

"As for the situation outside, Chu Liang and Zhang Yang should have introduced it to you, right?"

"Although Kerry Technology Company has been defeated, their retaliation actions will likely come sooner or later."

"At present, only Yangshan has the strength to confront Kerry Technology Company. If anyone has doubts about Yangshan, feel free to ask Mr. Liang while he’s here."

Lu Dayou looked at Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan smiled and nodded, looking at everyone, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, Yangshan Shelter is now the only shelter in Linjiang City. We should all be people of Linjiang City, right?"

"Whether you’re local or foreign, since you live in Linjiang City, you’re a person of Linjiang City."

"Linjiang City must have its own shelter and not be dominated by outside forces."

"Now is the apocalypse era; if shelters from other places invade, we people of Linjiang City will most likely become second-class citizens."

"Rather than that, we should unite and do well with our own shelter."

"So Yangshan welcomes everyone to join. We will quickly build a branch base here in the upcoming time to guard Divine Tree Island and deal with the imminent retaliation from Kerry Technology Company."

"If anyone has doubts about Yangshan or thoughts about the future, feel free to talk to me."

Just as Liang Yuan finished speaking, Li Jiguang couldn’t help but raise his hand.

"Mr. Liang, I have something to say."

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Please go ahead."

"Mr. Liang, may I ask, what is the scale of the Yangshan Shelter? How many people does it have? On what do you rely for survival? With floods everywhere, how do you solve the food problem?"

He raised the questions that everyone present was most concerned about.

For these people, everything else was illusionary; only filling their stomachs was real.

If Yangshan couldn’t support them, then there’s no talk of protection.

Liang Yuan smiled, "Good question. I believe others have similar doubts."

"Let me tell everyone about the situation in Yangshan, so everyone has an understanding of Yangshan."

"Our Yangshan Shelter headquarters was originally located in the Yangshan National Forest. Everyone here is from Linjiang City, so you should all know where Yangshan is, right?"

Seeing everyone nod, Liang Yuan continued, "Yangshan is near other mountain peaks like Meishan and Lingyun Slope. These are within our Yangshan influence."

"Now our Yangshan Shelter has incorporated all the highlands of Linjiang City into our sphere of influence, including Cangqiong Mountain, Mide Mountain, and other peaks in the west."

"The northern Fan Mountain, and even nearby Yang Baoshan in Baoshan City and Beichen Mountain are under our control."

Everyone present couldn’t help but show expressions of surprise.

Evidently, they hadn’t expected the Yangshan Shelter’s influence to be so extensive, covering the entire Linjiang City and even incorporating peaks from Baoshan City.

Previously, they had no concept when Liang Yuan spoke of unifying Linjiang City, thinking Linjiang City was already flooded; what was the meaning of unification?

Now, they realized that all land resources of Linjiang City were now in the hands of the Yangshan Shelter.

This was truly controlling Linjiang City.

However, a wise person showed a hint of concern, and Li Jiguang was among them.

He couldn’t help but say, "Mr. Liang, although these mountains are quite high, if the flood continues to rise, I’m afraid these peaks won’t hold for much longer."

With these words, suddenly many people also showed worry and looked towards Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Of course, these are fixed mountains. Once the flood rises, it’s likely these peaks will continue to be submerged."

"But our Yangshan Shelter has more than just this territory. We now control five Floating Islands, with a total area several times larger than these peaks."

"Of these, four islands are suitable for living."

"Does everyone understand what Floating Islands are?"

Seeing the confused expressions on everyone’s faces, Liang Yuan explained, "Floating Islands are similar to Floating Islands in the sky."

"Floating Islands float in the air, while Floating Islands float on the sea surface."

"These Floating Islands, like wood, rise with the water level, so there’s no need to worry about being submerged by the flood."

"So, regarding living arrangements, everyone can rest assured."

"As for how the people of Yangshan Shelter survive, which you asked about."

"Haha, our Yangshan Shelter has its own places to grow food."

"The Miyuan Rainforest Floating Island can be considered our granary, where the temperature is constant, the climate is pleasant, the atmosphere is humid, and the conditions are perfect. It has an independent ecosystem."

"Currently, our agriculture department has planted tens of thousands of acres of grains, fruits, and vegetables there."

"Not only that, but on some other livable Floating Islands, we also have planting bases. You don’t have to worry about these."

"As for the population, there’s nothing we can do. The flood has caused too many deaths, and few have survived."

"Currently, the total population in Yangshan is only about thirty to forty thousand."

Liang Yuan sighed inwardly. Their land wasn’t small, yet the population hadn’t increased.

Thirty to forty thousand was an overestimation. In fact, he had successively subdued groups like Yang Baoshan, Beichen Island, and Mist City, as well as the military’s Cloud Mist Island, but the population continually suffered losses in battles.

Initially, Linjiang City had definitely had thirty to forty thousand survivors, but it’s fortunate if there are even thirty thousand now.

So when Wang Tian’an threatened Liang Yuan, claiming Kerry Technology Company had a hundred thousand people, Liang Yuan was quite shocked.

With such a large population, Kerry Technology Company was indeed considered a top-tier force.

After hearing Liang Yuan’s words, Li Jiguang and the others were collectively shaken and astonished.

Even Liang Minru and Lu Dayou couldn’t help but show surprise.

It was only now that they understood what a colossal entity Yangshan Shelter was.

A Shelter with thirty thousand people — that’s definitely a super shelter.

The largest number of people they had here never exceeded three hundred.

For a moment, everyone was excited, with no more qualms about joining Yangshan.

On the contrary, they felt extraordinarily lucky that their leader had connections with such important figures, and that they could join such a powerful force. It was fantastic.

Further explanations followed, and these people completely understood the magnitude of Yangshan.

Now, they felt only reverence for Liang Yuan, with no hint of caution.

So, under the leadership of Liang Minru, these individuals packed their things and began to follow Lu Dayou out from underground.

Upon returning to the surface, they felt as if they’d come back to life.

They had been underground for too long.

At this moment, in the sky above, Yangshan’s ships crisscrossed, roaring incessantly.

A large number of Mutant Beasts under Liang Yuan’s control flew in the sky, serving the role of defending the airspace.

Indeed, the battle wasn’t over yet.

The base of Kerry Technology Company on Divine Tree Island had been destroyed, but nearby there was still a Hell Island.

That was where the opponent’s main base was located.

However, due to Divine Tree Island’s more habitable environment, Wang Tian’an had chosen to reside there.

Now, Wang Tian’an had taken his people to rush toward Hell Island.

Liang Yuan had long instructed him to prepare for the transition over there.

I wonder how things are going now.

Returning to the base, Liang Yuan called Old Ma over.

When Ma Guocai saw Lu Dayou, his face was full of joy, and he eagerly engaged them in conversation, asking how they had managed during these times.

Lu Dayou and Liang Minru were also delighted to see Old Ma again.

After all, Old Ma had once been a community officer, and many people in the neighborhood were familiar with him.

Households like Lu Dayou’s, which faced difficulties, had been key support cases for Old Ma and his street office colleagues, and they had been in frequent contact before the apocalypse.

They could be considered old friends.

Seeing an old friend, Lu Dayou felt was thrilled and asked a few questions about his daughter’s situation.

He was even happier when he confirmed his daughter was doing well.

Liang Minru felt complicated. In this apocalyptic world, being able to see acquaintances again felt naturally intimate.

But she couldn’t help but think of her tragic past, feeling somewhat awkward.

However, she thought too much. How many people who survived hadn’t experienced some tragic events?

Old Ma didn’t treat her any differently, and warmly called her ’Xiaoliang’.

This warmed Liang Minru’s heart.
