Zhang Rongrong was stunned: "Aren’t we digging anymore?"
Li Xiangyang shook his head: "The others will continue digging, you guys take some samples and go ahead. Since Mr. Liang is here, the floating bridge must be open."
"If we delay any longer, I’m afraid the people from Yangshan will beat us to it."
"I’ve learned from the plantation and the farm that the new varieties of mutant vegetables and mutant beasts are only rewarded the first time they are contributed. The more we delay, the less the points will be worth."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Rongrong quickly said, "Okay, I’ll hurry over with Yang Wei."
Li Xiangyang suddenly thought of something and instructed, "Also, find a few Speed Ability Users, make sure it’s quick!"
"Got it, I know."
After arranging this, Li Xiangyang walked over to the young man sent by Gao Changlin.
He opened his mouth and asked directly, "Yang Yuan, is Mr. Liang at Yunquan Temple?"
The young man named Yang Yuan was considered Gao Changlin’s nephew.
Gao Changlin was a son-in-law who took his wife’s surname, so his son carried the surname Yang. Hence, his wife’s nephew was also his nephew.
Yang Yuan, a bit excited, whispered, "Yes, Brother Xiangyang, you have no idea, Mr. Liang brought a group of people over, all of them are Superpower Users, and they look very strong."
"They look ten times stronger than Li Kuirong’s group back then!"
Li Xiangyang’s mouth twitched slightly. How could he not know?
He had just returned from Yangshan and had seen things even more shocking than what Yang Yuan described.
Li Xiangyang asked, "Did Mr. Liang say anything?"
Yang Yuan replied, "Mr. Liang said he was taking over Yunquan Temple. Those willing to stay had to accept his leadership. Those unwilling could leave at any time."
"Uncle Changlin stayed with us, but many people, afraid of Mr. Liang and his group, packed up and followed Yang Jie and Yang Hai to your Jieshi Academy."
Li Xiangyang sighed inwardly, mourning for those who left.
Simultaneously, he admired Gao Changlin’s cunning; staying was undoubtedly the wisest choice.
Mr. Liang occupying Yunquan Temple needed manpower badly. Joining Mr. Liang at this time was akin to being an original resident of Yangshan Shelter.
But it didn’t matter. Mr. Liang looking for him probably meant he needed to make a choice.
With these thoughts, he and Yang Yuan soon arrived at Yunquan Temple.
Upon arriving, Li Xiangyang saw Zhao Kai with the patrol team, instructing Meishan Village residents to dismantle the shelters on the square.
Some people were beginning to set up frames, seemingly to construct a large canopy covering the entire square.
Others were already building bamboo houses outside Yunquan Temple’s walls.
Inside Yunquan Temple, new arrangements appeared to be underway.
For a moment, the entire Yunquan Temple was bustling with activity.
Following Yang Yuan, Li Xiangyang entered the temple and quickly saw Liang Yuan, Zhao Kai, and Ding Yan drawing something at a table in the main hall.
There were many papers on the table, seemingly planning the Meishan area.
Li Xiangyang greeted proactively as he entered, "Hello, Mr. Liang."
Liang Yuan looked up and saw Li Xiangyang. "You’re here? Come over. You arrived just in time. We were discussing how Jieshi Academy is an excellent location for a new stronghold."
Li Xiangyang’s heart skipped a beat. He maintained a calm demeanor and walked over.
He glanced at the sketches on the table; they seemed to be rough drafts.
He didn’t quite understand but smiled, "Mr. Liang, just say the word. We will vacate Jieshi Academy immediately."
Liang Yuan looked at him and asked, "Vacate? I thought you would say you’d establish a stronghold for me."
Li Xiangyang inwardly cursed himself for being stupid and quickly corrected, "Mr. Liang, just let us know what you need. We will do our utmost."
Liang Yuan nodded slightly, pleased with his attitude. Pointing at the sketches, he said, "Jieshi Academy is in a relatively open area behind here. I need to build a livestock farm there."
"Jieshi Academy needs expansion and a patrol base to be established there."
Li Xiangyang quickly responded, "Mr. Liang, we can handle that."
Liang Yuan glanced at him, "Who do you mean by ’we’?"
"Um, the people currently living in Jieshi Academy from Meishan Village."
Liang Yuan nodded, "No need for you to do it. The people from Yangshan are more familiar with such work. I need experienced hands. In a few days, I’ll have people from Yangshan come over for the construction."
Li Xiangyang felt a bit anxious, quickly asking, "Mr. Liang, then what will we do?"
Liang Yuan looked at him, "You? You want to know what you can do for Yangshan Shelter?"
Li Xiangyang was stunned but nodded quickly, "Yes, what can we do for Yangshan Shelter?"
Liang Yuan smiled, "So, you want to lead them in joining Yangshan?"
Li Xiangyang promptly said, "Yes, Mr. Liang, we want to join Yangshan. Please give us this opportunity."
Liang Yuan smiled wider, nodding slightly, "It’s good that you have this intention. After all, you are from Meishan Village, Yang Mei’s maternal family. Naturally, I should look after you."
"But joining Yangshan Shelter is not just talk. I need you to accomplish some tasks."
Li Xiangyang quickly said, "Just tell us. We will do our utmost as long as we can."
"Good, your determination is excellent. The task isn’t difficult. As far as I know, there are still some scattered small shelters on Meishan. I need you to take them all down."
