Chapter 1158: Chapter 499: Folded Space
Liang Yuan did not hesitate at all and immediately asked Ni Qi to take him to find Ding Yan and the others.
Ding Yan and Li Qinghua and the others had never seen a true Genetic Species Level mutant beast, thinking only that having more people meant they could hunt it down.
Little did they know, a true Genetic Species Level mutant beast is completely different from an ordinary mutant beast.
Once the main attribute breaks through 50 Points, ordinary attributes will become Genetic Attributes, each point of Genetic Attribute is nearly ten times the boost of ordinary attributes!
If Ding Yan and the others really encounter a Genetic Species Level mutant beast, I’m afraid the danger would outweigh the opportunity!
"Ling’Er, I’ll have to trouble you to stay at Yangshan for a couple more days and help look after things."
Liang Yuan looked at Wang Ling’Er with a sincere expression.
Wang Ling’Er heard this and smiled, "Brother Liang, go ahead, with us here, nothing will happen."
"Alright, I’ll leave it to you then."
Liang Yuan didn’t stand on ceremony and immediately urged Yang Shenmin with a few words.
Zhao Kai was seriously injured and now recuperating.
Old Ma was not injured, but now Yangshan needed him, the head of the Construction Department, too much to have any time.
So now Yang Shenmin, the head of the Medical Department, had to step in.
Yang Shenmin, as the head of the Medical Department, not only has excellent knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine but is also a master of weapon enchantment.
Among the people of Yangshan, he is considered quite respected.
Moreover, Yang Shenmin’s character is prudent and careful, handling things with composure.
With him responsible for overseeing Yangshan, Liang Yuan is also more at ease.
After arranging matters related to Yangshan, Liang Yuan quickly found a speedboat and set off with Ni Qi.
On the way, Liang Yuan inquired, "What exactly is going on with Li Qinghua and the others? Where did they discover the Genetic Species mutant beast?"
Ni Qi shook his head, "I don’t know the details either, just that Brother Qinghua told me this trip might yield something, and asked me to look after his paper factory."
Liang Yuan frowned, knowing that Ni Qi wasn’t aware of much information.
He then asked, "Where is that place?"
Ni Qi replied, "I asked Brother Qinghua, this wrinkle space is in the area of the High-tech City and roughly located at the intersection of the Technology City and the Eco City."
Liang Yuan recalled the map of the High-tech Zone. The High-tech Zone is large and divided into many sub-regions.
Among them, the Technology City and the Eco City are quite peripheral areas, especially the Eco City, which borders Linjiang.
Generally speaking, a place with good ecology often represents undeveloped areas.
Most of these places are still rural.
However, Linjiang City can be regarded as a second or third-tier city. Even in the Eco City, on the side close to the Technology City, there are many high-rise buildings.
So even after the great flood, some survivors should be there.
But Liang Yuan didn’t expect there to be a wrinkle space as well.
He just wondered how large this wrinkle space was and whether it was stable.
If the space is large enough, perhaps it could be transformed into a second survivor base.
This idea flashed through Liang Yuan’s mind.
But the immediate task is to first find this wrinkle area.
Thinking of this, Liang Yuan immediately maneuvered the speedboat, accelerating towards the edge of the Technology City.
In just half a day, the speedboat had already crossed most of the High-tech Zone and reached the edge of the Technology City.
Everywhere he looked, it was a vast expanse of water.
This was already close to the Eco City, and there weren’t many high-rise buildings left.
Looking out, only a few structures were still above the water’s surface.
Ni Qi also gazed around and said, "I only know it’s in this area, but I’m not sure of the exact position."
Liang Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Let’s go and ask some locals."
A wrinkle space must have something special, and people nearby should feel something different.
The two of them, in a boat, soon came near a community emerging from the water.
This community wasn’t large, seeming to have only a few dozen buildings, likely a small housing development.
The two were about to approach one of the buildings.
Suddenly a sharp sound of something slicing through the air came from above!
"Woo——!"
Liang Yuan looked up and saw an arrow swiftly shooting toward them from the rooftop.
His eyes narrowed, and Ni Qi immediately said, "Someone’s ambushing us!"
Speaking of which, without waiting for Liang Yuan to make a move, he took the initiative, suddenly throwing a coin-sized piece of metal.
As a bright light surged from his hand, the metal rapidly expanded, and in an instant, it formed a more than two-meter-high shield, blocking both Liang Yuan and himself.
Clang!
The arrow immediately struck the shield, producing a crisp sound.
Ni Qi looked up, glaring at the rooftop, while the shield swiftly shrank back to size and was retrieved.
"Woo——"
Immediately following, continuous alarm sounds came from the rooftop opposite.
Sharp and urgent, like a traffic cop’s whistle.
Then figures holding crossbows appeared on the rooftop.
Liang Yuan patted Ni Qi, saying, "Don’t be tense, let’s see what’s going on first."
Currently, with the water levels rising, this building originally ought to have over thirty floors, but now only seven or eight floors were above water.
Over here near Linjiang, the water had risen more fiercely.
Seven or eight floors, to be honest, Liang Yuan’s current strength could have him leap up there in a single bound.
Then on the rooftop of the building, someone soon started to shout.
"Where are you from?"
Liang Yuan looked at that person, who was wearing a raincoat, obscuring their face.
He said solemnly, "Just passing by, wanted to ask some locals a few things."
The people above discussed for a moment, then the raincoat leader spoke, "What do you want to know?"
Liang Yuan got straight to the point, asking directly, "I heard there’s an area nearby with anomalies, possibly related to space, does anyone here have any information about it?"
The raincoat leader asked, "What’s in it for us to tell you?"
Liang Yuan didn’t waste words, directly taking out a pack of instant ramen from his inventory and said, "One pack of ramen for this information."
These words immediately sparked discussions from many on top of the building.
"This guy has ramen!"
"Whoa, after such a long time since the great flood, there’s still ramen?"
"Damn it, I’ve almost forgotten the taste of instant noodles."
The leader in the raincoat raised his hand, and suddenly the chatter quieted down.
He shouted, "One pack is not enough!"
Liang Yuan frowned immediately, "It’s just a piece of information, isn’t one pack of noodles enough?"
"Not enough, ten packs, and I’ll tell you!"
Liang Yuan laughed coldly, "If you don’t tell me, won’t others talk? We’re leaving."
Without another word, Liang Yuan turned the boat around, intending to ask for information from other buildings.
Seeing that Liang Yuan was about to leave, the leader in the raincoat got anxious, "Kid, do you think you can come and go as you please?"
As he said this, he grabbed a steel bar and twisted it fiercely with a screech, breaking the bar.
He then aimed at Liang Yuan and threw the steel bar with force!
Woo——!
A sharp sound tore through the air instantly.
Liang Yuan’s gaze turned cold immediately.
This man’s power wasn’t weak, at least around 40 points!
If it were an ordinary superpower user, they might not be able to stop it!
He was just passing by to ask a question, and these people wanted to get violent, clearly indicating they weren’t good people.
With this thought, his spiritual power transformed into telekinesis, and with a buzzing sound, the swiftly approaching steel bar halted in mid-air.
The next moment, under the manipulation of Liang Yuan’s telekinesis, the steel bar reversed its trajectory and shot back with an even more terrifying whistling sound!
Puchi!
The man in the raincoat couldn’t dodge in time, and his head was instantly pierced by the steel bar.
The steel bar didn’t stop, twisting and whistling, with the puchi sound continuing, accompanied by screams of agony on the rooftop.
Liang Yuan said to Ni Qi, "Wait here for me!"
He leaped into the air and flew towards the rooftop.
Ni Qi watched this scene with a hint of envy.
"I wish I could be that strong someday."
However, he soon shook his head with a wry smile, as his superpower was [Enlarge and Shrink].
Trying to traverse the floodwaters by flying like Mr. Liang was not going to be easy.
In less than two minutes, Liang Yuan returned, carrying a skinny man from the rooftop.
The man’s hands were broken, his face pale, clearly heavily tortured.
Liang Yuan asked, "Which direction?"
"Over there, to the west."
The man with broken hands fearfully raised his head, pointing with his chin.
Ni Qi quickly started the speedboat, racing westward, asking, "Mr. Liang, did you find out anything?"
Liang Yuan nodded slightly, "People here say that near the west, close to the ecological city, there used to be a lively cultural and sports center."
"But after the great flood, it was discovered that all the buildings over there disappeared."
"People tried to go there to get supplies, but none of them ever returned, all vanished."
Ni Qi, hearing this, immediately became excited, "It seems that place is most likely the location of the wrinkled space."
Liang Yuan nodded slightly, "We’ll find out when we get there."
Under the guidance of the man with broken hands, the two soon arrived at what was once the cultural and sports center.
Liang Yuan looked out at the endless water surface, empty and barren, with nothing but the vast floodwater.
But he also keenly sensed something was wrong.
For some reason, there wasn’t any floating debris on the water surface in this area!
That was abnormal.
Liang Yuan looked at this area, immediately spreading his spiritual power to explore further.
As the spiritual power reached out, slowing down slightly after a few hundred meters, it felt like an invisible wall was blocking the exploration.
Liang Yuan was surprised, his eyes flickered, and he raised a fist, striking at the void.
Boom!
Massive fist force surged, a fire dragon roaring and rushing out, crashing into the empty space ahead.
However, after flying a hundred meters, the fire dragon exploded with a bang, as if it hit something.
Immediately afterward, the fire on the left part of the dragon was suddenly devoured by something, disappearing completely.
Liang Yuan burst into laughter, "Found it!"
Ni Qi also became spirited and asked, "Mr. Liang, should we go in now?"
"Yes."
"What about him?" Ni Qi pointed at the man with broken hands.
Liang Yuan sneered, "Leave him on the boat, let him fend for himself."
He had just gone through the building, most of them were strong young men, with a few women imprisoned in rooms, naked and degraded.
There was no need to say what happened.
That was why Liang Yuan dealt with them harshly.
He had no sympathy for these beasts.
"No, don’t, you said you would let me go, you promised."
The man with broken hands begged instantly.
Liang Yuan said indifferently, "Haven’t I let you go?"
He lifted the man and threw him directly into the floodwaters.
In this vast water, with his arms broken, the man couldn’t swim and was almost certainly doomed.
Taking back the speedboat, Liang Yuan, with Ni Qi, charged toward the space where the flames were devoured.
The two felt like they had crashed into a transparent membrane, experiencing a slight suffocating sensation.
Before Ni Qi could react, with a blur before his eyes, Liang Yuan pulled him through the membrane, entering a pitch-black space!
The space before them was like night.
The water waves shimmered, with the sound of water rolling in their ears.
In the distance ahead, land emerged, along with the shadows of buildings.
There was no sun here, only some luminescent plants and animals beneath the water.
All of this made Ni Qi somewhat disoriented.
It felt like stepping from the daylight outside into the night.
"Is this the wrinkled space?"
