Chapter 1501: Chapter 1501 - 834: Letting Go
Liang Yuan, after listening to what Liu Qinghong said, couldn’t help but nod slightly, quite in agreement.
"Indeed, Wu Yaobang, relying solely on the Cloning Ability, certainly has a natural advantage."
"Even if he uses a tactic of overwhelming numbers, he can still win with many against few."
"Did Jin Shirong replicate his Superpower?"
Liang Yuan suddenly thought of this point and quickly asked.
With Wu Yaobang already so difficult to kill, if Jin Shirong had also replicated this Superpower, it would be quite terrifying.
Upon hearing this, Liu Qinghong replied, "I don’t know, but we suspect Jin Shirong definitely replicated the Superpowers of all of us."
"After all, our Superpowers are not weak, and with his ability to replicate others’ Superpowers, how could he miss this opportunity?"
"If it were me, I certainly wouldn’t miss such an opportunity either."
Liang Yuan also couldn’t help but nod upon hearing this.
Indeed, if one had the Replication Superpower, one would certainly try to gather these special Superpowers as much as possible.
"If we infer like this, the terror level of Jin Shirong is beyond my imagination."
He silently thought to himself, feeling somewhat touched.
"Later, organize and provide a distribution and personnel intelligence report on Jiang An City’s Mengya forces for me. I will deploy someone else to infiltrate Ji’an City to explore intelligence."
"Yes, Master."
"Alright, go prepare."
Liu Qinghong quickly took leave and flew into the sky, preparing to select personnel.
Under the pitch-black floodwaters, Witch Molly suddenly opened her eyes.
She sensed that a terrifying mutant creature nearby was licking her wounds.
Blood gushing from her chest spread in the water, everywhere.
This blood attracted many Mutant Fish.
Fortunately, this was a battlefield where there were many wounded and dead, so her minor wounds did not attract particularly fierce Mutant Beasts.
"Wu Yaobang—!"
Witch Molly spat out this name from between her teeth, with hatred flashing in her mind.
The Liang surname may be hateful, but being betrayed and sold out by former allies made her feel utterly despairing.
Her body quickly entered shadow state, causing the bleeding wounds to disappear immediately, while the surrounding Mutant Fish lost their target, thrashing about aimlessly nearby.
And she took the opportunity to swiftly escape the area.
Not daring to rob a ship or submarine, she relied on her Superpower to flee at high speed.
She fled for dozens of kilometers from Yangshan Shelter before reaching the Furong Valley area of Ji’an City.
However, Furong Valley was also almost entirely submerged by now.
There were only some simple structures above, with some passing refugees docking their ships here to rest or trade goods.
Furong Valley had evidently become a temporary camp for wanderers.
Molly dragged her exhausted body up to Furong Valley.
She looked back at the vast expanse of the sea and breathed a small sigh of relief.
"I should be completely safe here."
She climbed up Furong Valley, glancing around.
Furong Valley originally had a sunken valley bottom.
But after the ice melted, Furong Valley was completely submerged.
Only the massive ridges on both sides protruded from the water.
There were some stone houses on the ridges, as well as many trees.
Some ships were docked nearby, as the original valley bottom formed an internal harbor with many fishing boats anchored within.
Molly emerged from the water, recovering from her shadow state, but when she looked at her wound, she frowned again.
"Wu Yaobang, what a deep stab!"
She took a deep breath, feeling the stabbing pain within her chest, and her wound itched.
She dared not hesitate, clutching her chest wound, quickly heading towards this temporary market.
She swiftly entered the market; even though much of it was submerged, surprisingly there were quite a few people setting up stalls here.
Seeing Molly’s attractive figure, many men immediately looked over.
"Yo, where did this beauty come from?"
Among the crowd, three or five robust Superpower Users walked over, the leading man smiling cheekily as he blocked Molly’s path.
Molly gave this man a cold look.
Evidently, this man took her as an ordinary female Superpower User.
"Are you the leader here?" She asked coldly.
"Beauty, this is Brother Qiang from Furong Valley; now this black market belongs to him. What do you want? As long as you stick with Brother Qiang, anything is possible."
As he said this, the others around him burst into laughter.
Some of them leered at Molly’s figure with ill intentions.
Witch Molly was not to be trifled with.
After suffering great losses at Yangshan, was she to be bullied here too?
She didn’t waste any words and acted without delay!
Buzz!
Powerful dark attribute energy swept madly in all directions.
In a mere instant, the people before her were enveloped in darkness.
Screams and sounds of terror continued to emanate.
Molly ignored these people and went directly to the stall to select some potions that could promote wound recovery, and then took them immediately.
Soon the wound healed, while she also collected many Superpower Stones, absorbing them casually to quickly replenish her consumed Superpowers.
Having done all this, she then scanned the port, found a well-functioning speedboat, installed a Superpower Stone, and immediately activated it to swiftly depart.
The speedboat instantly turned into a black dot, completely disappearing over the horizon.
At this moment, a figure emerged from the darkness.
Wu Ying looked at the disappearing speedboat and couldn’t help but smile.
"The injuries have recovered, and a means of transportation has been found. If you still can’t return to Kerry Technology Company, then you’d be letting down Mr. Liang."
He chuckled lightly, then turned to look at the Valley of Hibiscus, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
With a wave of his hand, the dark attribute energy left by the witch was absorbed back by him.
The Valley of Hibiscus returned to normal, except for the dozens of corpses lying on the ground.
Dozens more were on the ground wailing, with injuries of varying degrees.
Obviously, they had been hurt by the attack unleashed by the witch earlier.
Wu Ying quickly stepped forward and grabbed the man known as Brother Qiang.
Just touching the man’s neck, he couldn’t help but shake his head.
"Dead."
As expected, the man who had offended the witch Molly was the first to be killed by her.
Wu Ying then looked at the man with a broken arm nearby and asked, "This Valley of Hibiscus, I remember the Valley Master is Ma Gaoxuan, right? Who are you people?"
The man with the broken arm wailed, "Save me, save me..."
Wu Ying remained unmoved and said, "Tell me, and I can save you."
The man panted heavily, clutching his broken arm, and said quickly, "We, we are residents of the Valley of Hibiscus. The Valley Master has relocated, and this is now unclaimed territory."
"Relocated? Why?"
"Because the weather is getting hotter, after the ice and snow melted, the water level rose, and the Valley of Hibiscus was flooded. The Valley Master foresaw it and relocated in advance."
Wu Ying nodded slightly. This explanation corresponded closely to his speculation. He asked again, "Where did they move to?"
"Meteor Island!" the man with the broken arm wailed.
Wu Ying immediately frowned: "Meteor Island? Where is that?"
The man with the broken arm said quickly, "Meteor Island is one of the monitored three Great Floating Islands, located in the northwest of Ji’an City, near Yu Province."
"Boss, I told you everything, please save me, save me."
Wu Ying glanced at his broken arm, stood up, and asked, "Are all the people here yours?"
"Brother Qiang is dead, now I call the shots."
"How many of you are there in total?"
"More than thirty."
"What’s going on with these passing ships?"
"They come to temporarily rest and trade supplies with us."
"Although the Valley of Hibiscus was flooded, some parts are still above water. We’ve set up a black market trade here. Passing ships can rest, transition, and exchange supplies with us."
Wu Ying understood and said, "How much do you know about Meteor Island?"
"I, I don’t know much, just that the current Island Lord of Meteor Island is a man named Wu Meng. There are many experts on the island; even our Valley Master Ma can only rank fifth."
Wu Ying was astonished: "Fifth rank?"
"Uh, which means the fifth core figure."
Wu Ying then realized and cursed: "Do you think you’re the heroes of Mount Liang?"
He then asked, "Besides Wu Meng, who else is there?"
"I don’t know exactly who, but they’re all masters. Our boss can only rank fifth over there."
Wu Ying’s heart moved: "Wu Meng... could it be that guy?"
He remembered Wu Meng. The last time they met, it was a long time ago, and the other had joined the Three Great Sects.
Then for some reason, he completely vanished without a trace.
Unexpectedly hearing news about this person again, it was under such circumstances.
"I have to quickly inform Mr. Liang of this news."
"Mr. Liang wants to deal with the Mengya Company, and Ji’an City is a battleground that cannot be ignored."
"The local forces in Ji’an City must be brought under our control."
"Wu Meng..."
A glimmer of light flashed across his gaze.
This man is considered an old acquaintance of theirs. If this Wu Meng is indeed the Wu Meng from before.
That would be really interesting.
He wondered how far the other had progressed in cultivation, likely already into gene recombination, though the progress was unknown.
Wu Ying stated in a deep voice: "Gather your men, and follow me!"
As he spoke, he took out a vial of healing potion and directly injected it into the man’s body.
To the naked eye, his broken arm started to regrow rapidly!
This was the latest research result of the Yangshan medical department, a growth potion that not only heals wounds quickly but can also regenerate severed limbs.
In Yangshan, the battle has completely ended. Yangshan not only captured numerous spacecraft, submarines, aircraft carriers, and other weapons, but also took many prisoners.
These prisoners were all superpower users, many of whom also possessed special skills.
Currently, the Yangshan Shelter is in dire need of these people. Liang Yuan handed all these spoils over to Ding Yan and Zhao Kai for processing.
The handling plan was as usual: disrupt the ranks of the prisoners and assign them to Floating Island labor for a month.
Then send them to different places to slowly integrate them into the Yangshan Shelter.
With this combination of moves, they could stabilize these people.
In the apocalypse, many refugees were already very satisfied just to have something to eat; who dared to ask for more?
Having barely survived the disaster, they naturally valued their lives.
Besides, the resources at the Yangshan Shelter were undoubtedly at a T0 level among all shelters.
While other shelters were still eating mutant fish, Yangshan not only had its own cultivated fruits and vegetables, but also Mutated Fruits, and even industrialized products from before the apocalypse.
Anyone who could stay almost never thought of escaping.
