Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food Chapter 1453 - 786: Both Real and Illusory

"Is Granny Li doing well? Did you guys manage to find insulin later?"

Liang Minru asked Old Ma with concern.

She still remembered the hardships Old Ma and Granny Li endured while searching for insulin.

Old Ma laughed heartily and said, "Your Granny doesn’t need insulin anymore. She’s awakened her superpower, her back isn’t hurting anymore, her legs aren’t aching, and her long-standing rheumatoid arthritis is completely cured."

"Now she’s responsible for teaching the young ones farming at the Agriculture Department every day."

Both Liang Minru and Lu Dayou were astonished.

"What? Granny Li also awakened her superpower?"

Liang Minru asked with excitement.

Lu Dayou was even happier and said, "That’s wonderful."

Old Ma laughed heartily and said, "It’s all thanks to Mr. Liang. If it weren’t for his help, my wife might not have survived the awakening."

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Granny Li is strong-willed. She would have made it through without my help."

Old Ma shook his head with emotion, "I haven’t experienced a natural awakening, but I know it’s not an easy process."

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Alright, alright, let’s not talk about these things. Brother Lu, I have something I want to ask you."

"Go ahead," Lu Dayou quickly asked.

"Where did Wen Lili go?"

Liang Yuan inquired.

Since he knew Wen Lili was still alive, Liang Yuan naturally wanted to find out her whereabouts.

She and Zhang Peng were the earliest members to join his team and were once squad leaders in his team. Finding her would also be an explanation for Zhang Peng.

Upon hearing this, Lu Dayou sighed and said, "Xiao Wen awakened the wind attribute superpower. She was the first among us who could fly."

"Not long after arriving at Divine Tree Island, she wanted to go out and search for you guys."

"Actually, she used to frequently go out looking for you when we were down below."

"But it was probably because she couldn’t find the direction, she almost always returned without success, and sometimes almost got lost herself."

"After arriving at Divine Tree Island, she suddenly thought that since we managed to appear here, perhaps you guys could appear here too."

"So she flew out to look for you. It’s been more than a month, and she hasn’t sent back any news. We wanted to search for her, but Carey Technology Company’s people are searching everywhere outside, so we had to leave it like this."

Liang Yuan nodded slightly, "She should still be on the nearby floating islands. She certainly can’t pass through the thundercloud by herself."

"Later, I’ll have someone print her photo and distribute it to our people, so they keep an eye out."

Lu Dayou nodded, "That would be great. To be honest, I’m a little guilty about not persuading her to stay. I hope she doesn’t encounter any problems."

Liang Yuan patted his shoulder and said, "She’s not a child anymore. She has to be responsible for her own actions, so you don’t need to feel guilty."

"Sigh..." Lu Dayou sighed.

Liang Yuan stood up and said, "If you want to return to Yangshan, just take the nearest spaceship back, although Yu Yan should have moved to Mirage Snake Space now, and isn’t in Yangshan."

"Once you get to Yangshan, take a speedboat to reach Mirage Snake Space, and you’ll find her."

Lu Dayou quickly said, "Can you arrange the fastest flight for me?"

Old Ma stood up and said, "I’ll make arrangements. Mr. Liang, leave this to me."

Liang Yuan nodded, "Alright, Old Ma, I’ll leave it to you."

"No worries."

After that, Liang Yuan left here and headed to the airport, where he saw Du Zhijie directing people to arrange a defense talisman array.

Liang Yuan walked over and asked, "Dr. Du, have you seen Tu Long and the others?"

Du Zhijie quickly replied, "Mr. Liang, they’ve all gone to Hell Island."

"All of them?" Liang Yuan asked in surprise.

"Yes, I heard that the Dark Administrator has already escaped to Hell Island and has organized resistance there."

"Wang Tian’an hasn’t been able to capture it for quite some time, so Tu Long, Shi Haizhu, and Cheng Zhanpeng went to help."

Liang Yuan frowned slightly, "The Dark Administrator has already escaped to Hell Island? How did he get there?"

"The man is also a Genetic Reorganization Level expert, capable of flying."

"Moreover, he possesses a special ability — creating mirror images that are almost identical to the original body, except they aren’t tangible."

"Utilizing this ability, he created mirror images to distract our people, then escaped Divine Tree Island and returned to Hell Island."

Liang Yuan understood and exclaimed, "So that’s how it is."

He thought for a moment and asked, "How long have they been gone?"

"A while, it’s been over an hour."

"Over an hour?"

Liang Yuan frowned, considering that it’s taken so long to capture Hell Island, indicating they must be encountering trouble.

It’s known that Wang Tian’an was once Hell Island’s administrator, and his identity should still hold high esteem there, along with knowledge of many weaknesses in Hell Island’s bases.

Yet after so long with no progress, a problem must have arisen.

Thinking of this, Liang Yuan stood up immediately and said, "I’ll go and take a look."

"I’ll arrange a spaceship for you."

Liang Yuan shook his head and said, "No need, I can fly over myself."

Having said that, his figure suddenly vanished from the original spot.

With his current strength, few mutant beasts of Genetic Reorganization Level flying in the sky could pose a threat to him.

Whoosh!

His body shot through the air continuously, generating the roar of a Qi Burst and streams of white airwaves.

Before long, Liang Yuan appeared above a massive, pitch-black island.

This island was entirely black as ink, with thick smoke rising everywhere on the island.

As Liang Yuan cast his gaze, he saw huge cracks scattered across the island, and in the gaps of these cracks, lava seemed to be flowing, bright red and hot.

Thick smoke erupted from a vast mouth of a mountain in the distance, which appeared to be an active volcano.

There were quite a few flying ships belonging to Yangshan hovering in the air.

In the distance, a large number of flying mutant beasts were also roosting.

Liang Yuan sped forward, scanning the scene, and saw in the distance a flat piece of land with a base standing on black stone-like ground.

A huge defense barrier enveloped the base; at the moment, the defense barrier was tightly sealed, and many flying ships were circling ominously in the sky above.

Tu Long, Shi Haizhu, Wang Tian’an, and others were all in the air.

"Bastard, Zheng Yuan, you’re courting death!"

Wang Tian’an roared in anger.

Inside the defense barrier, Zheng Yuan’s voice rang out.

"Hehehe, Wang Tian’an, no need for me to explain the fate of betraying the company, you already know it, right?"

"However arrogant you are now, you’ll be equally miserable later."

"I just need to hold this defense barrier until Manager Zhou delivers the message back, and the company’s large forces will come."

"By then, Wang Tian’an, you will certainly die!"

"And you fools from Yangshan, for daring to challenge the company’s authority, just wait for death!"

Zheng Yuan laughed heartily, dismissing the Yangshan team outside his barrier.

He had now completely seized control of the Hell Island base through the Dark Administrator’s authorization.

Now, inside the base, no one but him could operate the defense barrier system.

With the defense barrier, constructed with Stabilizing Runes, Yangshan’s flying ships’ artillery couldn’t possibly break through.

Wang Tian’an sneered coldly, "Do you really think I have no way to deal with you? Have you forgotten who the true master of this Floating Island is?"

"Don’t forget, the Brain Core of Hell Island is in my hands!"

Zheng Yuan immediately burst into laughter, "So what? It’s only the Brain Core, not the Heart Core."

"The company has long been aware that those of you on the outside might rebel, so they retrieve the Heart Core of every Floating Island as soon as possible, leaving only the Brain Core to you."

"That’s to prevent traitors like you from appearing."

"Hey, even with the Brain Core, you can only sense the life forms on the island; you can’t change the island’s terrain, let alone destroy the base’s Array."

Wang Tian’an’s face turned grim. Zheng Yuan was right; the Brain Core alone couldn’t breach the base’s defense barriers.

If he had the Heart Core, he could directly alter the terrain and completely wreck the base’s array structure.

Just as Wang Tian’an’s expression turned dark as water, Tu Long beside him spoke up with a cold sneer, "Do you really think the Stabilizing Rune array is invincible?"

Shi Haizhu also sneered and said, "Prepare the Sealing Energy Cannon!"

He issued a command, and immediately one of the flying ships roared out from among the others.

It stopped in mid-air over the base, and its hatch opened, releasing a black shell, which whistled towards the defense barrier.

BOOM!

A not-too-violent rumble sounded, and the next moment, at the explosion site, a red light appeared. In an instant, the defense barrier rapidly deteriorated, melting away as if dissolving.

The defense barrier constructed from the Stabilizing Rune array was unexpectedly breached at this moment!

Shi Haizhu laughed heartily and waved his hand, shouting, "Charge!"

Wang Tian’an also couldn’t believe what he was seeing, exclaiming in shock, "What kind of projectile is this that it could actually break the Stabilizing Rune array’s barrier?"

Then he didn’t think further and hurried to follow the others in rushing into the base.

Witnessing this, Liang Yuan slightly furrowed his brow.

He sensed something was off.

BOOM BOOM BOOM...

Sure enough, as the flying ships quickly rushed toward the base, a series of violent explosions erupted continuously.

To everyone’s surprise, terrifying explosions emanated from within the base.

The entire base twisted and distorted, and all the structures and buildings vanished like a mirage.

A huge volcanic crater appeared inside, and all the flying ships that went in collided with this crater, causing the explosions heard earlier.

This shocking scene left Shi Haizhu, Tu Long, and Wang Tian’an—who had just rushed in—utterly stunned.

The three of them hurriedly stopped and turned to retreat.

However, at that moment, the volcano erupted, spewing molten rock!

Massive lava surged into the sky, manifesting a terrifying magma dragon, and charged at the trio.

Startled, the three of them quickly activated their superpowers to defend themselves.

Shi Haizhu transformed into a Stone Man to withstand the lava.

Tu Long turned into a giant eagle, swiftly taking flight to dodge.

Only Wang Tian’an, his face changed drastically, exploded into a swarm of insects, rapidly scattering to dodge.

The sound of Zheng Yuan’s laughter resounded from within the magma, "Hahaha, you fools, came in here and still want to run?"

This so-called base was actually fake!

All of it was a mirage conjured by Zheng Yuan!

The people from Yangshan hadn’t seen through the illusion, falling right into the trap.

Liang Yuan watched the spectacle, clicking his tongue in astonishment.

Swoosh!

His figure flickered and he instantly appeared before the now-reformed defense barrier in front of the volcanic crater.

With a wave of his hand, several Sealing Rune bombs descended.

BOOM BOOM BOOM!

Immediately, several large holes blasted open the defense barrier once more, and Wang Tian’an, Tu Long, and Shi Haizhu urgently dashed out.

The surging magma continuously spilled out, filling the entire Stabilizing Rune defense barrier!

Liang Yuan remarked in amazement, "There’s truth in falsehood, and falsehood in truth, very impressive."
