Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food Chapter 1573 - 906: The Prosperity of Yangshan
Previously on Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food...
This is a typical ocean cargo ship.
However, perhaps due to the long passage of time and heavy moisture, it is covered with rust and much of the paint has peeled off.
After the apocalypse, there were no more anti-rust paint coatings, so these ships couldn’t be maintained anymore.
Seeing this ship, Li Qinghua and Tu Long once again felt a sense of wistfulness.
Such ships had been phased out and unused by them a year ago.
Even the luxurious President No. 7 was dismantled and smelted to produce the Yangshan aircraft carrier.
This illustrates that this group of superpower users from the south indeed has not yet developed advanced rune technology.
No wonder they suffered great losses at the hands of the Japanese, retreating all the way to here.
"I just don’t know how these Japanese managed to develop so quickly; logically, they should have been submerged by the floods even faster."
Li Qinghua harbored such doubts in his heart. Perhaps this malicious intent or mystery needs to be untangled once they come into contact with those Japanese.
Soon the ship arrived at the Yangshan Island.
Qu Jin, Meng Hu, Guo Rui, and others looked into the distance at Yangshan Island, seeing the massive islands forming a circle.
These islands were not just simple green islands; some were icy plains, some were blue water shields, and others were vast dark islands, resembling the abyss.
There were also islands like vast yellow lands, and others shrouded in mist, looking like celestial realms.
Surrounded together, these islands were all different, magnificent, and truly awe-inspiring.
Li Qinghua smiled and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is our Yangshan Island. Here we have a total of six floating islands, considered among the earliest floating islands of Yangshan."
"Additionally, above the clouds, we have five floating islands guarding these floating islands."
"Now without land on sea and air, we have enough capability to repel any enemy, so everyone can rest assured."
Qu Jin looked around, a puzzled expression on his face, and couldn’t help asking, "Brother Li, didn’t you say there were six floating islands? Why are there only five different islands?"
Upon hearing this, Li Qinghua smiled and said, "Everyone, follow me, and you will soon see."
In their confusion, everyone followed Li Qinghua through the river channels between the islands, moving into the temporary docking area within the islands.
This was clearly a large port, with many ships parked and a great number of vessels coming and going through the shipping lanes.
"Huh? Where have those ships gone?"
Guo Rui suddenly noticed that in the shipping lane ahead, a large number of vessels entered a blank sea area and suddenly disappeared.
This made him feel extremely surprised!
As soon as these words were spoken, the others immediately noticed this as well.
Everyone couldn’t help but look at Li Qinghua with a questioning look.
Li Qinghua smiled and said, "You will find out soon."
As the cargo ship continued forward, following other vessels into the shipping lane.
Upon entering the blank sea area ahead, the space in front suddenly distorted slightly, and everyone felt the scenery before them change, as if they had been transported from one place to another directly.
The once empty ocean suddenly revealed a vast area of high-rise buildings and a huge port with many ships.
"Is this ... an alternate space?" Qu Jin exclaimed immediately.
Obviously, he knew what this place was.
Others like Meng Hu quickly realized as well.
"Is this really an alternate space?"
"My goodness, an alternate space?"
"So this sixth floating island is actually a spatial floating island?"
"Heavens, if we had such a floating island, wouldn’t we be safe from radiation bombs if we encounter Japanese adversaries?"
"This is a great place!"
As everyone discussed, they finally realized that Yangshan was really different from them.
Yangshan was clearly far more advanced than their ragtag group.
Even more formidable than some so-called major powers they had encountered in Min Province and Guangdong Province.
Li Qinghua smiled and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is our sixth floating island, as you see, this is the spatial floating island, where the space itself forms its own territory."
"Because of the unique nature of this spatial floating island, the flood levels here haven’t risen too high. The high-rise buildings you see now were from before the apocalypse."
"Because the water level isn’t high, they have remained above water all this time, and people can still live here now."
"This port is called Yangshan Port. Do you see that mountain in front? It is now our headquarters."
Everyone disembarked and looked towards the mountain in the direction Li Qinghua pointed.
They saw that on the mountain, high-rise buildings were arranged in neat rows, with a style quite different from pre-apocalyptic construction styles.
It was obvious that these buildings were built with superpower abilities, constructed with large blocks of stone, simple yet possessing a certain aesthetic and technological feel.
Not only were there decorative vines, but also a large number of runes hidden within.
With just one look, everyone could tell that these runes were likely superpower-related runes, not just random graffiti.
Besides these structures, the basic infrastructure on the island was very well developed, with not only cement roads but also various vehicles coming and going, various mini mutant beasts used as vehicles, being led along the road by people.
There were merchants, shops, and even milk tea shops and bars as leisure and entertainment venues.
The bustling scene before their eyes made them doubt whether they had arrived at some sort of resort from before the apocalypse.
Here, there wasn’t a trace of post-apocalyptic desolation and despair; it seemed like everyone wore smiles and happiness on their faces.
This is what truly shocks everyone.
"This, this place... how could it be like this?" Guo Rui murmured in a daze.
Even Meng Hu’s breath was rapid, murmuring, "Is this really the world after the apocalypse? It’s surprising, surprising that it could develop like this?"
"Is this still a shelter? Isn’t this heaven?"
"Look quickly, you all look, there’s actually a large complex supermarket over there!"
Suddenly, someone exclaimed excitedly.
Everyone hurriedly looked, and indeed saw in the distance, there was a large complex supermarket seven or eight stories high!
At the entrance of this supermarket, people were coming and going, bustling and lively.
Qu Jin quickly asked, "Li brother, is this really a complex supermarket? What’s sold inside?"
Li Qinghua smiled and said, "They sell pretty much everything. If you’re interested, you can go in and take a look."
Qu Jin and the others quickly nodded, eager to head towards the supermarket.
Their footsteps unconsciously sped up, quickly reaching the entrance of the supermarket.
At the entrance of the supermarket, several children were snatching something, a familiar aroma continuously invaded everyone’s nostrils, stimulating their taste buds.
Meng Hu’s nostrils moved slightly, and he immediately exclaimed, "The smell of spicy strips?"
Guo Rui and the others immediately looked, and sure enough, what those children were snatching, wasn’t it spicy strips?
And looking at the packaging, it’s actually the ’Wei Long’ series from before the apocalypse!
"You guys actually still have spicy strips?"
"Still ’Wei Long’ spicy strips?"
Meng Hu was greatly surprised. It’s been more than two years since the apocalypse, how are there still pre-apocalyptic supplies now?
Even if these spicy strips were produced before the apocalypse, shouldn’t they be expired by now?
Li Qinghua smiled and said, "They’re just some little gadgets, some are things we produce ourselves, some are pre-apocalyptic stock."
"Our Yangshan now has long achieved self-sufficiency in material life needs. We have plenty of tofu products like spicy strips here, and they’re inexpensive."
"If you all are interested, when you leave, we can give you some."
Qu Jin heard this and quickly laughed, "No need, no need, we’ll just purchase them normally."
Guo Rui heard this and quickly asked, "By the way, what does Yangshan use for trading materials? Gold? Or Superpower Stones?"
In these times, what’s still preserving value is only gold and Superpower Stones.
Gold can weaken Spiritual Power, precisely because of this, it is now the hard currency circulating in the market.
As for Superpower Stones, it’s needless to say, they are the main raw material for Talisman Stones, even the cornerstone for various Rune Arrays, and the energy source for various energy devices.
You could say the role of Superpower Stones is more convenient for circulation than gold because of their higher versatility.
So Guo Rui instinctively thought Yangshan traded materials with these two items.
However, Li Qinghua smiled and said, "Neither, our Yangshan has its own currency system."
"In Yangshan, everything can be calculated with Points."
"From this pack of spicy strips, to a spaceship, everything can be bought with Points."
Guo Rui and the others were astonished, somewhat bewildered.
"Points?"
"What Points?"
"Li brother, can you give us an introduction? We’re listening a bit confused."
Li Qinghua smiled and said, "This points system was created by our leader; it was born about half a year after the apocalypse began."
"Nowadays, with the development of technology in our Yangshan Shelter, the points system has long been implemented into every detail of life."
"How did these points originate? Where are they recorded?" Qu Jin couldn’t help but ask.
Li Qinghua casually took out an Identity Card, smiling, "All residents of our Yangshan Shelter will get one of these Identity Cards processed at our human resources department."
"Each Identity Card is unique, and with this card, you can enter and exit any place within Yangshan’s sphere of influence and enjoy the rights of a Yangshan Shelter resident."
"And within this Identity Card is an embedded chip that contains a set of points record. Every time you make a transaction, it will be recorded on it, and you can check it anytime on the machines in the lobby of any Yangshan complex."
"As for how you earn points, there are many ways."
"Whether it’s by hunting and selling prey to the Yangshan Complex, or the Breeding Department, or the Slaughterhouse, you can earn points."
"And mining, farming, selling produce, doing business, etc., can all earn points."
"Once you get familiar with our Yangshan Shelter, you’ll naturally understand."
"I’ll first take you inside the mall to have a look."
Li Qinghua introduced with a smile, unconcerned about the stunned expression of the crowd, leading them into the complex supermarket of Yangshan Shelter.
For Li Qinghua, these people’s reactions were entirely within his expectations.
Because they weren’t the first group to be shocked by the prosperity displayed by the Yangshan Shelter.
Every time people from outside came to Yangshan, and entered Mirage Snake Space, they would be amazed by the environment before them.
Yangshan is changing rapidly with each passing day.
This transformation isn’t just in the strength of Superpower Users or the development of Rune Technology, it’s directly reflected in people’s living standards.
