Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food Chapter 1454 - 787: Catching Zheng Yuan

This guy named Zheng Yuan used his abilities to transform a live volcano into a base.

For a realistic effect, he even set up a legitimate defensive shield outside this fake base using a Stabilizing Rune Array.

No wonder Wang Tian’an and Tu Long were deceived.

After all, the array outside truly existed.

Who could have imagined that the volcano inside was fake!

Liang Yuan’s gaze flickered slightly, ignoring the false base.

Since this is fake, then where is the real base?

Liang Yuan’s gaze swept the area and immediately understood.

"It’s just nearby. Otherwise, if the surrounding environment were too different, Wang Tian’an wouldn’t have missed it."

Thinking of this, Liang Yuan directly extended his palm, pressing it onto the ground.

Crack, crack, crack...

A large amount of frost rapidly spread in all directions, and in an instant, the ground ahead was covered in a layer of frost.

Then, an obviously frost-covered dome-like structure appeared on the seemingly empty ground ahead.

Liang Yuan immediately revealed a cold smile and said, "Found it."

Tu Long also flew over, gritting his teeth as he said, "Indeed deceitful, Mr. Liang, I will personally blow open this defensive shield."

Shi Haizhu also flew over, angrily saying, "I’ll go too!"

It wasn’t that the two had never lost a battle, but that this low-level trick almost led them to their graves at the mouth of a volcano, which is what made them angry.

Wang Tian’an was equally infuriated, having just pledged allegiance to Liang Yuan and become his servant.

Not only had he failed to contribute to retrieving the Divine Tree Island base, but now he had to rely on his master Liang Yuan to rescue him, which was an utter humiliation.

So he was truly furious and rushed forward without waiting for Liang Yuan’s command.

"Zheng Yuan, you shameless scoundrel, come out and face me!"

In mid-air, he transformed directly into a starry mantis form.

Two large blade arms whistled as they slashed towards the hidden base’s defensive shield.

Bang!

A Phase Splitting Blade stroke cut out, shattering the ice blades and causing the whole dome to explode with a deafening boom.

All images shattered, revealing a gigantic base!

The people within the base looked up at the sky in panic, with the outside covered by the Rune Array’s defensive shield.

Wang Tian’an’s attack, though powerful, still didn’t break through the Stabilizing Rune Array.

However, Tu Long and Shi Haizhu had already charged over, each holding a Sealing Rune Bomb, with menacing expressions on their faces.

"Damn it, daring to trick me, break for me!"

Tu Long roared in anger, fiercely hurling the Sealing Rune Bomb in his hand.

Bang!

A loud explosion resounded, and the rock-solid Stabilizing Rune Array immediately shattered, with the defensive shield collapsing all around.

Tu Long and the others laughed heartily, rushing downward.

Shortly after, continuous roaring explosions came from below, and the battle began in an instant!

Liang Yuan stood in mid-air, not partaking in the fight.

Now that Yangshan’s powers were growing, there was no need for him to act personally.

He spread out his Spiritual Power, opening the Dark Abyss Mouth, with terrifying dark attribute energy spreading all around.

Darkness enveloped the surroundings of the Carey Technology base, and anyone trying to escape from it would be directly drawn into the Shadow World.

"A Superpower User skilled in concealment, in this situation, would likely try to escape ahead of time."

"I’d love to see where you think you can flee to."

Liang Yuan stood in mid-air, sensing as people continued to flee from the base into the Shadow World through the Dark Abyss Mouth.

These people, like headless flies, rushed in, screaming in terror and fleeing aimlessly in all directions, failing to realize they were just shadows.

About ten minutes later, everything settled.

Yangshan’s team had completely taken over the entire base.

Liang Yuan flew into the base, still not retracting the Dark Abyss Mouth outside.

"Mr. Liang."

Wang Tian’an ran over, greeting respectfully.

Liang Yuan nodded slightly and asked, "Did you find this Zheng Yuan?"

Wang Tian’an seemed resigned, saying, "No, this guy ran too fast, and with his mastery in various mirage illusions, it’s unknown where he might be hiding now."

Liang Yuan nodded slightly and said, "Don’t worry, he can’t escape."

Then, Liang Yuan directly expanded the Dark Abyss Mouth’s range, completely covering the entire base.

In doing so, all life forms within the base would be sucked into the Shadow World by the Dark Abyss Mouth.

Liang Yuan herded all these people onto the square and then released them from the Dark Abyss Mouth.

"Check if Zheng Yuan is among them."

Wang Tian’an quickly scanned the crowd, checking them one by one.

Still, he found no trace of him.

This person seemed to have completely vanished, leaving no trace.

"He’s not here; how could he not be here?"

Wang Tian’an furrowed his brows, then asked the people in the base, "Has anyone seen Zheng Yuan?"

Everyone shook their heads, looking at Wang Tian’an with apprehension.

Wang Tian’an cursed irritably, then walked over to Liang Yuan, saying, "Mr. Liang, we won’t let that kid escape, right? The Heart Core of Hell Island is still in his hands."

Liang Yuan shook his head slightly, "No, he’s still among these people."

"What? He’s among these people?" Wang Tian’an was shocked, "I just looked at everyone one by one and didn’t see him."

Liang Yuan glanced over the crowd, saying, "Don’t forget, he’s good at mirror illusions. What you see may not be real."

Tu Long immediately understood and said, "Mr. Liang, are you saying he’s using illusion technique to hide among this group?"

"Then what should we do now? If only Minister Zhuang were here," Shi Haizhu couldn’t help but say.

Zhuang Shuyuan’s superpower can read people’s hearts, rendering any illusion technique futile, no matter how well-hidden.

Liang Yuan looked at the people from Carey Technology Company. Besides the combat personnel, many were research and logistics personnel.

These people had no anger, only fear.

Liang Yuan thought for a moment, then said, "It’s just a mouse hiding underground, no need to be overly nervous."

"Let’s capture all of them and temporarily detain them on the island."

"Our people will temporarily take over here, and quickly build the base."

"Also, send someone to Yangshan to bring Minister Zhuang over."

"Understood, sir."

With Liang Yuan’s arrangements, everything proceeded smoothly.

Soon, the team from Yangshan arrived, with the research department beginning to alter the defense array and the construction department starting to enhance and modify some of the base facilities.

Wang Tian’an, using his administrator privileges, handed over all the facilities, equipment, and data within the base without reservation to the people from Yangshan.

Thus, Liang Yuan completely took over Hell Island.

Among the five floating islands above Linjiang, he already controlled three.

Now only Snake Shell Island and Ten Thousand Beasts Island were left.

These two islands were unsuitable for living, as there were too many mutant beasts on them.

Also, the Heart Core and Brain Core of these two floating islands had been refined by the mutant beasts, so neither Carey Technology nor Mengya Company had ventured into these two islands.

Liang Yuan, too, had no immediate plans for them. There was no rush to develop these islands as Yangshan already had too much territory and too few people.

As long as these two islands did not fall into enemy hands, that was enough.

"Mr. Liang, everything here is more or less settled," Tu Long came over to report progress.

Liang Yuan nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "Don’t let down your guard. Mengya Company and Carey Technology won’t let this go. I estimate it won’t be long before some experts arrive."

"After completing the defense measures, try to bring the three islands closer together to support each other."

"Understood."

"Going forward, I will station at Flying Manta Island."

"What about over in Yangshan?"

"Continue the relocation. Once the ice melts, the floods will return, so move everyone to the floating islands."

"Understood, I will head to Yangshan now."

"Also, have the research department find a way to establish a super channel. Ideally, find a way to establish contact between the floating islands and the floating islands," Liang Yuan added.

Due to the interference of thunderclouds, it’s challenging to transmit signals, and even radio signals struggle to break through the electromagnetic field interference.

It’s not easy to establish a stable communication channel.

But such a channel cannot be left unestablished, or the sky and ground would be effectively isolated, and information couldn’t be relayed promptly, which would be critical in a fluid battlefield.

So the transmission of information is extremely important; setting up an information channel is urgent.

In the afternoon, Zhuang Shuyuan arrived on the floating island with a spaceship.

With Zhuang Shuyuan’s help, the interrogation of the captured from Hell Island began swiftly.

Zheng Yuan was indeed hiding among the people. Zhuang Shuyuan merely glanced around and then quietly exited the prison cell.

Before long, Shi Haizhu and Wang Tian’an entered the cell and directly apprehended a young man wearing glasses.

The young man was clearly surprised, showing a look of shock on his face, yelling, "What are you doing? Let me go, let me go."

Wang Tian’an sneered, "Go on, keep pretending, Zheng Yuan. Did you really think you could hide perfectly?"

"In this world, there’s no perfect superpower; you’ve already been exposed."

Upon hearing this, the young man immediately stopped struggling, a hint of confusion on his face, "How did you discover me?"

Wang Tian’an sneered, refusing to waste words with him.

Shi Haizhu said, "Save your breath. Mr. Liang wants to see you."

Zheng Yuan frowned, caught in Wang Tian’an’s grip, unable to escape.

He originally thought that as long as he concealed his identity well and waited for headquarters to rescue him, he would gain merit.

It now seemed he couldn’t wait for headquarters to rescue him.

Immediately, he wore a cold face, silently following the two to the outside of the dungeon.

Liang Yuan was sitting on a rock nearby, seemingly watching the volcano crater.

Shi Haizhu said, "Mr. Liang, we’ve brought him."

Liang Yuan didn’t turn around, only saying, "Hand over the Heart Core of Hell Island, and you can suffer less."

Zheng Yuan laughed coldly, "Heh, wishful thinking! You won’t have a good end. Headquarters’ people will arrive any time, and you don’t know Kerry Technology’s true strength!"

"Wang Tian’an, is this the master you pledge allegiance to? Heh, you really have no ambition left. Do you truly believe that this person can directly contend with the company?"

Wang Tian’an sneered, "It’s none of your damn business."

Liang Yuan turned back, looking at Zheng Yuan, "You’re quite confident in Carey Technology Company? Care to tell me what makes Carey Technology so formidable that gives you such confidence?"

Zheng Yuan sneered, "You dared to oppose our company without even knowing our company’s background? It’s absolutely laughable. Not to mention anything else, all our company’s board members have their gene recombination progress above 60%. What do you have to compare?"
