Yang Mei was about to enter the house when Liang Yuan suddenly held her in his arms.
Yang Mei was momentarily stunned, then her eyes met Liang Yuan’s fiery gaze. Her face instantly turned red as she whispered, "Didn’t we just do it in the warehouse?"
Liang Yuan whispered in her ear, "I want more."
Yang Mei’s face turned red with embarrassment and she quickly said, "Then I’ll go wash up."
However, the next second, she was swept up in Liang Yuan’s arms, who laughed and said, "Let’s wash together."
The sound of running water echoed from the bathroom.
Accompanied by suppressed whimpering sounds.
——
Night cloaked the land, and heavy rain poured down loud and unrelenting.
At Kangjia Garden, Tu Long and Wang Xiaoya were hiding in a building close to the water.
They didn’t even know which floor they were on.
The massive flood had not receded. It kept coming, drowning one floor after another.
They had just found a random apartment building and quickly took refuge in it.
The hallways were filled with blood, flesh, and some cleanly picked bones.
Tu Long didn’t bother to check if there were any survivors upstairs; he just took Xiaoya and hid in a room, watching the water level outside.
He could see a corner of a freighter anchored outside the apartment building.
This indicated that the people of the Firebird hadn’t left yet; they had probably sent people down to search for them.
Tu Long couldn’t hold back his cursing, "Damn it, why can’t these bastards leave me alone?"
Wang Xiaoya weakly said, "Brother Tu Long, you killed so many of them."
Tu Long rolled his eyes, "They attacked first. If I hadn’t killed them, should I let them kill me?"
Wang Xiaoya quickly said, "I didn’t mean that, what I’m saying is, they’re definitely seeking revenge, so they’re chasing us relentlessly."
Tu Long sighed, "Damn it, if I wasn’t injured, could their broken ship catch me?"
"If I get to Yangshan, could those idiots be a match for that guy?"
Wang Xiaoya couldn’t help but ask, "Brother Tu Long, is Yangshan really as good as you say? Is there someone even stronger than you?"
Tu Long sighed, sat back on the bed, and said, "Though I hate to admit it, that guy on Yangshan really has some skills. If these fools went to Yangshan, they’d probably already be dead."
Thinking about Liang Yuan, he recalled the image of Liang Yuan sitting on the shoulder of the Black Gold Giant Ape, and secretly sighed.
They’re all Superpower Users, but he didn’t know how Liang Yuan cultivated. Even eating Mutated Fruit all day doesn’t lead to such extreme results.
"Brother Tu Long, what should we do now?" Wang Xiaoya asked with a sigh.
Tu Long looked outside and said, "I need to heal first. Once I’m better, I can use my Tattoo Spirit to fly us out of here."
"The only problem now is to avoid being found by the Firebird people."
Wang Xiaoya quickly nodded and then looked around, "Then I’ll go catch some fish. We haven’t eaten all day."
Tu Long nodded, "Okay, be careful, don’t go outside, just fish from the balcony."
"Okay, I know, I’ll find the tools first."
Wang Xiaoya got up and looked around the room, it had clearly been searched before, and there was nothing left.
Finally, she pulled down a water pipe from the kitchen ceiling.
Using the pipe as a fishing rod, she then tore off a fabric strip from some moldy clothing to use as a fishing line.
But without any bait, she was troubled.
She thought for a moment, then boldly went outside to grab some unknown meat scraps and quickly tied them on the fabric strips before returning.
Wang Xiaoya was familiar with fishing; during the six-month flooding, many people had become veteran anglers.
Moreover, she was a Water Ability User, able to control water currents.
Her fishing method was simpler.
She only had to attract mutant fish, and didn’t even need them to bite the meat on the fabric strip. With a light touch, she could simply use water currents to sweep the fish up instantly.
Using this method, within ten minutes she had caught three or four unrecognizable mutant fish.
As the flood spread, various fish had mutated, and many fish no longer looked like their original forms.
Some fish had even evolved so drastically they no longer resembled fish.
Wang Xiaoya had seen fish in the water that looked like the merfolk in mythology, with limbs.
With three large fish, she excitedly returned to the bathroom to clean and prepare them.
Soon, the three fish were cleaned, but when she started to light a fire, she hesitated.
"It’s not going to work. If I make a fire, the Firebird people might find us."
She grabbed the fish and quickly ran to the bedroom, where Tu Long was already asleep.
Seeing this, Wang Xiaoya bit her lip and quietly slipped out.
Thinking for a moment, she ran to the bathroom and started blocking the small window with cabinet doors and boards to prevent the firelight from leaking out.
Then she faced another problem: there was nothing in the room to help ignite the fire.
The boards were flammable but couldn’t be directly ignited.
Even the moldy cloth strips were all damp.
Out of options, she started searching for anything that could help her light a fire.
Finally, she managed to pull out some sponge from another bedroom’s mattress, which was soaked with water.
She had no choice but to pry open the bed frame and start scraping for wood shavings with a small knife.
She finally lit a fire and began to roast the fish.
Not daring to roast for too long, she put out the flames as soon as the fish was slightly cooked and ran back to the bedroom to wake up Tu Long.
Tu Long woke up quickly and sat up, saying, "How long did I sleep?"
