Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food

Chapter 1247 - 581: I Don’t See Your Sincerity

As Liang Yuan started speaking, the aura around him grew stronger and stronger.

Feeling the terrifying pressure from the other side’s aura, the cold sweat on Yu Bo’s forehead poured down.

His eyes were full of shock, staring at Liang Yuan in disbelief.

In his ears was Liang Yuan’s question.

What did the people behind him want?

Yu Bo knew very well in his heart that what Brigadier Feng and Commander Zhang wanted was to take in Yangshan, then unify the chaotic situation in Linjiang, restore the army’s strength, and establish a new peaceful order.

Liang Yuan’s gaze seemed as if it could see straight through to his soul.

As if he knew exactly what he was thinking.

He took another step forward, and the momentum on his body suddenly surged several times over!

In an instant, terrifying pressure swept over. Yu Bo’s expression changed drastically in fright; he could no longer hold out and was forced to retreat several steps.

His heart pounded wildly as he said in disbelief, "This kind of pressure! You—how is this possible!"

He couldn’t accept it, because his own Main Attribute had likewise reached 100 points!

Yes, he was also a top Superpower User whose Main Attribute had reached 100 points.

Yet in front of Liang Yuan, he almost felt like he wasn’t even on the same level as the other party.

The aura pressure the other party casually released actually made it hard for him to bear.

If they really fought, what would the result be?

He didn’t dare imagine it, but then he suddenly came to his senses.

"Could this be his Superpower? Spirit suppression? Or some kind of aura pressure?"

"Otherwise there’s no reason. Everyone’s at 100 points—why is the gap so huge?"

One had to know, even Brigadier Feng Jiangong, who was hailed as the number one expert in the military, couldn’t possibly give him this much pressure!

So he had reason to suspect this was the other side’s Superpower!

This was a kind of psychological warfare!

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath, and his emotions calmed a lot.

"Mr. Liang, it seems your misunderstanding of us runs very deep."

"I’ll say it again: we are not the same as the Hawk Faction led by Yuan Shijie. We have never forgotten who we are—we are soldiers."

"Our unit is the people’s army."

"You should have seen that back at the very beginning of the Great Flood, we had already started actively taking in refugees, and using radio and other means to spread the Superpower knowledge we’d obtained."

"I saw your Yangshan people using Bursting Runes. This kind of Rune was, in the earliest days, provided by our military."

"When we did these things back then, what ulterior motive did we have?"

"We only wanted those ordinary people trapped in their homes to also grasp information about this wave of mutation and Evolution, so they could adapt to this flood apocalypse sooner."

"I know that some people in the Hawk Faction, and some of their actions, have seriously affected everyone’s view of the military."

"But I can swear to you: we are absolutely not the same as them."

Liang Yuan gave him a glance. Indeed, back when he had first arrived at Yangshan, the people of Yangshan had obtained quite a lot of useful information from the military’s radio.

Previously Liang Yuan had thought it was the Hawk Faction deliberately releasing this information to lure Superpower Users to defect to them.

Turns out it wasn’t the Hawk Faction at all, but the Dove Faction.

If it was really as Yu Bo said—that they shared Superpower knowledge and Talisman Stone manufacturing methods in order to protect the civilians trapped in the high-rises...

Then the Dove Faction’s way of doing things was truly the polar opposite of the Hawk Faction.

Liang Yuan thought for a moment, then said, "Judging from your Main Attribute, it seems you’ve also reached 100 points? And you’re still not the highest leader of the Dove Faction. Logically speaking, the people above you have probably already hit 100 points for their Main Attribute as well."

"Your Dove Faction isn’t weak, so why have you been unable to subdue the Hawk Faction all this time?"

"You’re just letting them split things apart?"

Hearing this, Yu Bo hesitated a little, but after thinking it over, finally said, "I need approval from above before I can disclose this matter. In short, for certain reasons, we can’t commit all our forces to deal with Yuan Shijie and the Three Great Sects."

"Otherwise, with our Brigadier’s strength plus our weapons and equipment, wiping out the Three Great Sects wouldn’t actually be that difficult for us."

"Also, human Evolution is not easy. Our Commander has always wanted to try to bring this group over to our side. Whether it’s Yuan Shijie or the Three Great Sects, it’s undeniable that some of them are very strong—rare talents."

Liang Yuan furrowed his brows slightly, deeply curious in his heart. What kind of reason could make the Dove Faction Military willingly ignore a threat sleeping right beside their bed, and instead try to win these people over?

After thinking it over, Liang Yuan simply asked, "You really want to form an alliance with me?"

"Of course. I truly came with sincerity," Yu Bo answered firmly.

Liang Yuan said, "In that case, I’ll be blunt. If you ally with me, what’s in it for me?"

"What’s in it for you? By allying with us, you can bolster Yangshan’s influence. Right now, with the Three Great Sects and Yuan Shijie joining forces, Yangshan was originally in a certain-death situation."

"But once Yangshan and we join hands, if they want to make a move again, they’ll have to think twice."

Hearing this, Liang Yuan neither agreed nor disagreed, and continued to listen.

However, Yu Bo had nothing further to add.

Liang Yuan asked in puzzlement, "That’s it?"

"Hm? That’s not enough?" Yu Bo was stunned.

Liang Yuan let out a short, incredulous laugh. "So in other words, by allying with us, all you’re giving us is the right to borrow your name?"

Yu Bo said, "Oh, of course not. When the time comes we can dispatch some experts over to help you defend Yangshan."

Liang Yuan shook his head outright. "What’s the point? You should know that these are not the old days. In the apocalypse, group battles are no longer the decisive factor."

"Top-tier experts are the only element that decides the outcome of this war."

"If you’re going to send people, only those whose Main Attribute has reached 100 points are of any use."

Yu Bo frowned. "People with a Main Attribute of 100 points are extremely rare. Even on our side, there are nowhere near as many as you think."

"And our people have important tasks to carry out; they simply don’t have the time to intervene."

Liang Yuan said directly, "Then bring your technology and equipment over to support us."

"Otherwise, stop talking about an alliance."

"I need to go back and request instructions from my superiors."

Liang Yuan waved his hand and said, "Hurry up, I don’t have that much Time to wait for you."

"Mr. Liang, before I leave, I have a request," Aftershock suddenly said.

Liang Yuan glanced at him. "What is it?"

"These Mutated Sunflowers you have here, I haven’t seen them anywhere else. I want to buy some seeds and take them back to plant."

Liang Yuan gave him another look and said, "These Mutated Sunflowers can basically be considered strategic resources."

"The very first-generation seeds are under strict control on our side. It’s basically impossible for them to leak out."

"As for those Mutated Sunflowers planted from the second- and third-generation seeds outside, if you want them, you can buy two heads and take them with you."

Liang Yuan was very clear that Mutated Sunflowers leaking out was only a matter of Time.

Because now Mutated Sunflowers were already planted all over the mountains.

As long as any Superpower User with a bit of intent put in a little effort, they could steal one or two plants.

But Yangshan had long anticipated this situation.

The truly strong in Life Force, high-Quality first-generation seeds were only managed by the Ministry of Agriculture. Any Mutated Sunflower grown from a first-generation seed would have dedicated personnel guarding it.

As for the other second- and third-generation seeds, they were not nearly as important.

Whether in terms of sunlight intensity released, Life Force activity, Spiritual Energy fluctuations, or oil yield of the seeds, the second- and third-generation seeds were far inferior to the first generation.

Even if this type of seed spread out, the loss would not be too great.

Hearing this, Aftershock hurriedly said, "I want to purchase first-generation seeds. I don’t know if it’s possible..."

"No!"

Liang Yuan rejected him bluntly and said, "First-generation seeds are strategic resources belonging to our Yangshan. They absolutely will not be sold to outsiders."

Aftershock was a bit unwilling and said, "Mr. Liang, no matter what, I came here with sincerity and goodwill. I hope you can..."

Liang Yuan shook his head. "I’m sick of hearing that line. There’s a little sincerity, but definitely not much."

"At least I don’t see any sincerity from you. If you really want an alliance, can your military’s Superpower Technology R&D results be opened up to us?"

"We Yangshan can pay in Superpower Stones and buy them from you."

"You can’t even make a decision on this condition right now and still have to go back and ask your superiors, so what sincerity are you talking about?"

"Go back. Send someone who can actually make decisions to talk."

Liang Yuan didn’t want to waste more words on him.

Aftershock’s brows knitted tightly. He had thought that with his strength of 100 points in Main Attribute, personally coming here to negotiate an alliance with Yangshan was giving them plenty of face.

But clearly the other side didn’t think so.

This made him somewhat angry.

His gaze sank slightly as he said, "Mr. Liang, if you take our alliance so lightly, when the Three Great Sects and the Hawk Faction arrive, I’m afraid you’ll regret it too late."

Liang Yuan ignored him and directly said to Monsoon, "See the guest out."

Monsoon looked at Aftershock with a half-smile. "This way, Mr. Yu."

Aftershock took a deep breath, snorted, and turned to leave.

He had never suffered such a snub before.

Once Aftershock left, Ding Yan, Zhao Kai, Li Qinghua and the others all walked out from inside the Leader’s Mansion.

So they had been here all along.

Zhao Kai couldn’t help saying, "Brother Liang, what exactly does this Dove Faction Military mean?"

Li Qinghua said thoughtfully, "It feels like they do have some sincerity, but fundamentally they still don’t take our Yangshan seriously."

Ding Yan snorted. "That aloof attitude, like they’ve already got us in their pocket, as if the moment we hear ’alliance’ we’ll be overjoyed and agree on the spot."

Liang Yuan looked over at Zhuang Shuyuan to the side and asked, "Did you sense anything?"

Zhuang Shuyuan nodded, a smile appearing on her face. "I can sense that everything he said came from the heart. The Dove Faction really does plan to cooperate with us."

"And he really shouldn’t have the authority to decide. He probably didn’t expect your stance to be this tough."

Liang Yuan gave a cold laugh. "Then we don’t need to bother with it. I’m going to Cangqiong Mountain once. When I get back, everything will be settled."

"By then, those people from the Dove Faction Military will naturally reevaluate Yangshan’s existence!"

"What!"

"Brother Liang, you’re going to Cangqiong Mountain?"

"When?"

Everyone was instantly shocked and started asking in succession.

Liang Yuan looked at the goose-feather snow in the sky and said in a deep voice, "Now!"

"You all hold Yangshan. I’ll be back soon!"

"Liang Yuan, I’ll go with you!" Ding Yan shouted quickly.

Liang Yuan shook his head. "I’ll go alone; it’s easier to move."

"Mr. Liang, you’re going to Cangqiong Mountain to sabotage the alliance of the Three Great Sects?"

"Heh, aren’t they forming an alliance to deal with me? I’ll pay them a visit myself and see exactly what they’re relying on."

"Won’t that be too dangerous?" Li Qinghua couldn’t help saying.

Liang Yuan laughed loudly, turned his head to look at Li Qinghua, and said, "Hurry up and break through 100 points. The Middle Tier of the Genetic Map will be stronger than you can imagine."

With that, his figure flickered, and he had already vanished from where he stood.
