These buildings were all established at the foot of Yangshan, now completely submerged by the floodwaters.
Liang Yuan took a walk around the nearby buildings and quickly found places like the tourist center, tea shop, and snack shop at the foot of Yangshan.
Seeing these once extremely familiar buildings, Liang Yuan felt a tingling in his heart and immediately swam over.
The first place he reached was a tea shop.
The tea shop underwater, the store sign was one of the more famous ones before the great flood, now only the words "Ice City" were still hanging, the rest had all fallen off.
Liang Yuan saw that the glass door had been shattered into fragments by the immense water pressure.
A thick layer of silt covered the ground, making the originally clean and shiny floor tiles invisible.
Liang Yuan continued to swim into the tea shop.
Inside, it was pitch black, with only rows of scattered tea-making tools and machines.
He reached out and wiped over these tools, putting them all into his inventory.
There seemed to be no tea shops in the Yangshan Shopping Center up to now.
He decided to take these tools back and see if anyone wanted to buy them to open a tea shop.
He remembered that there was a little girl at the Martial King Pavilion named Bai Zhirui, nicknamed "Nai Bai," who was good at making healing potions called "Nutrition Express."
It seemed she was planning to open a shop with Zhuang Shuyuan and Gao Jie, and he had seen their application materials on Yang Mei’s desk.
These people would probably be interested in these pieces of equipment.
With this thought flashing through his mind, Liang Yuan continued to explore this tea shop.
Some plastic cups and plates were floating on the ceiling due to buoyancy.
Some were also stuck in the corners of the ceiling.
A good number of them had likely been swept outside by the currents.
Earlier, when he dived down, Liang Yuan saw some plates and tea cups caught on tree branches.
He casually collected some plastic cups and plates, then opened some cabinets and found a lot of tea-making ingredients.
These included tea leaves, pearls, and taro balls.
However, some of the opened ones had long been rotten and spoiled.
Suddenly, Liang Yuan noticed that some opened tea ingredients had clearly been gnawed on by something.
Liang Yuan raised an eyebrow, "It seems some mutant creatures like fish and shrimp also hide here."
He quickly released his spiritual power to cover the small tea shop.
Sure enough, in one of the rooms, he saw a massive mutant crab.
This mutant crab resembled a typical mitten crab, with two thick pincers covered in thick hair.
At this moment, it was motionless in the room.
If it weren’t for his spiritual power sensing that it still had a breath, Liang Yuan would have thought the mutant crab was already dead.
He swam over quickly, and the mutant crab sensed his approach.
The massive mutant crab suddenly moved its pincers and swiftly clamped towards Liang Yuan outside the door!
Liang Yuan’s body flickered, quickly dodging the pincers in the water.
The mutant crab immediately crawled forward two steps and bumped against the doorframe with a loud thud.
It struggled angrily and got stuck in the doorframe.
Liang Yuan was slightly stunned, then he realized why this mutant crab was trapped in the room, barely alive.
It turned out that this creature had stayed in this place, eating and drinking for too long, and hadn’t gotten out for a long time. Its body grew too big and it couldn’t get out anymore.
Seeing this scene, he couldn’t help but laugh and cry, and with a single spirit shock, he shattered the brain of the mutant crab.
The mutant crab twitched a little, then fell to the ground motionless.
Liang Yuan heard the system prompt and took a step forward, collecting the corpse of the mutant crab into his inventory.
Then he entered the kitchen to take a look.
Unfortunately, all the visible food had been eaten by the mutant crab.
However, some well-packaged ingredients, such as saccharin, were all vacuum-sealed and intact.
Liang Yuan unceremoniously collected them all into his inventory.
After another thorough search, he found some work uniforms and stuffed them into the inventory as well.
From plates to light bulbs and wires, everything in the shop was swept clean by him.
After finishing everything, he swam outside. Next door was a noodle shop, and across the street was a supermarket and a tourist center and so on.
As a scenic spot, other things might not be there, but various snack shops and supermarkets were definitely arranged.
Liang Yuan even noticed a small pharmacy nearby.
"There’s even a pharmacy, let’s take a look."
Liang Yuan immediately swam over. Medicines were the most needed things at the moment.
Now that the great flood had submerged everything, medicines were extremely important.
As the weather turned colder and the cold wave was about to arrive, during this season change, humans were most prone to getting sick and catching colds.
Although eating a large amount of mutant creatures’ flesh had improved many people’s physical fitness.
But the viruses in nature might also be evolving, and these things are relative.
Once sick, at this stage, besides toughing it out, people could only rely on the healing superpower of superpower users to save their lives.
But healing superpowers were not omnipotent, most external injuries were easy to heal, but headaches, fevers, and viral colds couldn’t be cured.
So medicines were still very precious.
Western medicine is definitely completely useless at present, and traditional Chinese medicine is also not easy to practice.
Mainly because plants have mutated, Yang Shenmin was spending days doing experiments with Tang Ying, with much of their time wasted on identifying the efficacy of plants.
Otherwise, with Yang Shenmin’s knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine, preparing some cold medicines and antipyretic and detoxifying potions would have been very simple.
