"Our team can rebuild quickly in a different location."
"My thought is to cultivate newcomers as soon as possible, gradually transitioning Yangshan to them."
"Then our veteran team will go to Meishan to establish a new shelter."
"As you mentioned, the resources over there are abundant, and the terraced fields are cultivated, making it more suitable as a logistics base for development."
"I believe that place might be a key development area for us in the future."
Liang Yuan slightly nodded, agreeing with this idea.
Compared to Yangshan, Meishan is actually more suitable for agricultural development.
"But I’m worried that the newcomers haven’t stabilized yet. We can’t just abandon Yangshan." Ding Yan sighed.
Liang Yuan also sighed, "Still, we’re short on manpower."
Ding Yan agreed somewhat, suddenly she asked, "I heard from you before that you sent Tu Long out to rescue people trapped in the flood. Haven’t seen Tu Long these days, has he reported back yet?"
Liang Yuan thought for a moment and said, "It’s been seven or eight days since Tu Long left, it’s indeed a bit strange that he hasn’t returned."
"Don’t worry, his Tattoo Spirit Superpower is unique, there shouldn’t be any major issues. Let’s wait a couple more days, if we still don’t hear from him, I’ll take Li Yuejin out to search."
Li Yuejin had left a Spiritual Brand on Tu Long early on, allowing him to sense Tu Long’s presence clearly within a certain range.
To search for Tu Long, it’s definite that Li Yuejin would be taken along.
Ding Yan nodded, and the two talked in detail about the floating bridge construction.
Seeing that Liang Yuan indeed had a plan all along, Ding Yan finally relaxed and fell asleep in his arms, exhausted.

Swash~ swash~
Amidst the waves, Tu Long lay on a broken wooden plank, his face pale, with large areas of bruises and burns on his body.
The most shocking injury was a through wound on his chest, still continuously bleeding.
Even with his constitution, he couldn’t hold out any longer.
Beside him was a girl in her twenties, frantically trying to wipe away the blood from his wounds, but it wouldn’t stop.
Tears streamed down her face as she cried, "Tu Long brother, don’t die, please, don’t die, woo... If you die, what will happen to me? Don’t leave me alone, woo..."
Lying on the wooden plank, upon hearing her crying, Tu Long managed to open his eyes with difficulty.
His vision blurred, he opened his mouth, and immediately coughed up a large amount of fresh blood.
The severe coughing tore his wound further, causing more blood to seep out.
The blood flowed quickly, soaking into the wooden plank and dripping into the floodwater.
Tu Long spoke with difficulty, "Girl... don’t, don’t cry, quickly... quickly go, don’t let the blood, don’t let the blood seep into the floodwater, it’ll attract mutated creatures."
Wang Xiaoya, hearing this, quickly placed her hands in the water, causing large splashes to surge.
The water swiftly propelled the wooden plank beneath them, shooting them swiftly away.
She turned out to be a Water Attribute Superpower User!
After the plank traveled a considerable distance, Tu Long managed to stop his wound, though blood still trickled.
With gritted teeth, he searched through his belongings and finally found a small bottle of clear water.
He asked with difficulty, "Girl, help me open it."
Wang Xiaoya quickly ceased controlling the water flow, hurriedly twisted the cap off, and brought the bottle to Tu Long’s lips.
Tu Long gulped down several large mouthfuls.
His complexion visibly became rosier as he drank the water.
His chest wound began to gradually coagulate, and the blood slowly stopped flowing.
After a short rest, Tu Long drank two more mouthfuls before carefully capping the bottle and placed it inside his garment.
Seeing this, Wang Xiaoya’s eyes were red but her face showed a hint of joy.
"Tu Long brother, are you alright now?"
Tu Long exhaled and said, "This time the injuries are pretty severe, it’s not easy to recover on my own. Luckily, I brought a bottle of Nutrition Express with me."
Wang Xiaoya was puzzled, "Nutrition Express? Are you talking about that bottle of water?"
Tu Long slightly nodded, "Yes, created by our shelter’s healer, it’s similar to the food I used to take for healing injuries."
Wang Xiaoya’s face lit up with joy, "If you drink it all, can you recover completely?"
Tu Long shook his head slightly, "It’s not that simple. These injuries are severe, I’ve exhausted my food supplies, and the Nutrition Express is almost gone too. We’re still not at Yangshan, I can’t drink it all now, I need to save some just in case."
He looked at his injuries, the worst being the through wound on his chest.
Then there were extensive burn injuries.
Seeing these wounds, his mind flashed back to the brutes on that ship.
Especially the man engulfed in flames, able to transform into a Fire Phoenix.
He instinctively thought of the former leader of the mining area, Tian Wei.
Back then, Tian Wei was terrifyingly powerful with flames, nearly invincible, dominating the mining area. Neither he, Li Yuefeng, nor Wu Meng could handle him.
"Tu Long brother, will we be safe at Yangshan? Will the people from Firebird pursue us to Yangshan?" Wang Xiaoya showed a fearful look, trembling at the mention of Firebird.
Tu Long sneered, "If they dare chase us to Yangshan, that would be the best."
