Chapter 1297 - 631: Asking for Someone
Zhang Wenjing was furious; that Liang had too much nerve!
She truly wished she could immediately teach that Liang a harsh lesson!
However, she quickly calmed down.
"It seems Mr. Liang’s strength has greatly improved."
Liang Yuan said blandly, "Miss Zhang, you’re quite talkative, I’ve been waiting here for you for quite a while. Can you hurry up and take me to see Commander Zhang? I have a lot of things to handle."
Zhang Wenjing nearly lost her composure again. An’an clenched her fists angrily, taking a deep breath to suppress her fury.
"Follow me!"
She said that coldly, and then her figure flashed as she led the way ahead.
Liang Yuan and Zhao Kai began observing this Cloud Mist Island.
The entire Cloud Mist Island somewhat resembled the Miyuan Rainforest, both enveloped in a mist barrier.
This mist barrier also had a spiritual barrier, which could obstruct spiritual detection.
It could also prevent outside snow from falling.
Because of this, the interior of Cloud Mist Island wasn’t covered in snow; instead, it was filled with lush greenery.
A large number of evergreen trees grew here.
In the valley in the distance, a river meandered through, seeming to flow down from the peaks with a waterfall roaring far off.
"The water flow here isn’t frozen, indicating that the temperature here is quite a bit higher than outside."
Zhao Kai said in a low voice.
Liang Yuan nodded slightly, saying, "This Floating Island also has a barrier protecting it. Maintaining a constant temperature isn’t surprising."
"What a big base!"
Suddenly, Zhao Kai’s eyes brightened when he saw a huge base come into view in the valley, near the river.
The entire base had been paved with concrete roads, lined with tall buildings; the most important one was over ten stories high, with a Huaxia Yellow Dragon flag planted at its center.
At first glance, it truly felt to Liang Yuan as if he’d returned to a pre-apocalyptic official military base.
A lot of equipment, such as tanks, helicopters, and fighter jets, was parked in the wild.
A large number of soldiers dressed in camouflage uniforms were rehearsing drills and training in marksmanship.
Liang Yuan roughly glanced over, feeling that while the number of soldiers wasn’t large, they were undoubtedly the best of the best.
Not only were they agile, but they were also highly organized with excellent combat skills.
Moreover, their proficiency with firearms far exceeded that of Yangshan’s forces.
This wasn’t surprising, as these people were originally from a military background and naturally more familiar with firearms than ordinary people.
Zhang Wenjing led the way in front, although she didn’t speak, she continuously observed Liang Yuan and Zhao Kai’s expressions secretly.
At this moment, she inwardly sneered: "The soldiers we train in the military could hardly be compared to your kind!"
"I don’t believe in intimidating you!"
She always believed that Liang Yuan was just a lucky ordinary individual.
He awakened a powerful superpower, luckily seized Yangshan, and opportunely plundered Floating Island resources.
Yet such ordinary people shouldn’t possess so many resources.
These people should listen to the military’s unified command instead.
Thinking of this, she said calmly, "Mr. Liang, what do you think of our military base?"
Liang Yuan glanced at her, "Not bad."
"Ha, how does it compare to Yangshan?"
"Well-equipped, high combat skills, Yangshan can’t compare." Liang Yuan answered factually.
Beside him, Zhao Kai also looked serious, knowing well the gap between his people and the regular army.
Hearing this, Zhang Wenjing appeared rather pleased, saying, "Ha, I thought Mr. Liang would say it’s not as good as Yangshan."
Liang Yuan replied blandly, "Only by being honest can we see the differences."
"However, times have changed. The military’s forces were trained to be elite tirelessly even before the floods."
"Nonetheless, our Yangshan people also awakened as superpower users in countless battles against mutant beasts."
"Although they might not be as coordinated in group operations as the military, I believe that given time, they too can become elite among elite."
Training soldiers is a process without shortcuts, only through repeated tempering and fighting, accumulating experience, can a strong force be created.
Zhang Wenjing didn’t respond, evidently struck by Liang Yuan’s words.
She was also aware that these soldiers in the military base were indeed very skilled.
It was truly as Liang Yuan said; they were trained even before the floods, but this training can be caught up with in the future.
Especially in the flood world full of mutant beasts, what isn’t lacking is such life-or-death competition.
Thus, this military advantage will soon be balanced.
However, Zhang Wenjing then lightly chuckled, saying, "Our military keeps leading not only because of these veterans."
"We possess advanced superpower technology and a complete ordnance production line."
"Combining various rune technologies with modern weapons is our greatest advantage."
"Mr. Liang, do you believe that with full-armament, one of our squads could match ten of yours from Yangshan!"
Upon hearing this, Liang Yuan chuckled, "Oh? You’re that great. I suppose the Hawk Faction’s military isn’t weak either?"
Zhang Wenjing was taken aback.
Liang Yuan continued, "Then why has the Hawk Faction’s military fallen?"
Zhang Wenjing immediately couldn’t help but say, "That was because of you."
Liang Yuan nodded, saying, "Yes, because of me."
"In this era of superpower awakening, the individual’s great power has reached an unprecedented pinnacle."
"Life forms after gene recombination are not afraid of the threat of guns and cannons at all."
"Unless you can control nuclear bombs, the one who truly determines the direction of a battle is always the one leading the charge."
"Yangshan’s technological level may not yet match the military bases, but as long as I’m strong enough, that’s enough!"
With these words, the sense of arrogance emanating from Liang Yuan was almost overwhelming!
Zhang Wenjing even found her breath catching, feeling the formidable domineering presence of the person in front of her!
Liang Yuan stared at Zhang Wenjing: "True strength comes from within oneself!"
"When you leave this base, Miss Zhang, are you still the high-ranking officer Zhang Wenjing?"
"If a person’s status and authority are granted by a power, you better have the real skills to wield that authority and maintain the glory it brings."
"Otherwise—haha, being in a high position always brings various dangers."
"Don’t the remnants of the Earth Mother Sect, Water God Sect, and Spiritual Ability Sect want to kill me?"
"They simply don’t dare to."
"Miss Zhang, this is an era where power belongs to oneself; it’s long past the era where one could rule with just authority."
"Hahaha, well said, Mr. Liang’s words are truly insightful."
At this moment, a figure appeared in the nearby mist.
As the person walked out of the mist, dressed in military uniform with an imposing presence, it was none other than the Dove Faction leader, Zhang Yujiang!
Zhang Yujiang looked keenly at Liang Yuan and smiled: "Mr. Liang, you really have so much going on; my invitation was sent out nearly two or three months ago, and only now do you have time to visit me here."
Liang Yuan said indifferently: "Commander Zhang is joking; Liang Yuan is timid and cautious, my strength hasn’t reached the level where I can easily enter and leave Cloud Mist Island, so I didn’t dare to come at will."
Zhang Yujiang was momentarily stunned, then burst out laughing: "Mr. Liang, you really speak your mind; I just love dealing with people like you."
"Commander, why are you here?" Zhang Wenjing walked up to Zhang Yujiang and asked.
"Comrade Zhang, I asked you to invite Mr. Liang, but it’s taken so long that I had to come and see for myself," Zhang Yujiang said with a smile.
Zhang Wenjing opened her mouth, wanting to say something but restrained by the presence of Liang Yuan. So she said: "I hit it off with Mr. Liang, and we chatted a bit along the way."
"Hehe, what can’t be discussed down there? It has to be in the air?"
Zhang Yujiang looked at Liang Yuan and Zhao Kai, smiling, "Mr. Liang, come with me. We still have some cloud tea on Cloud Mist Mountain; let me treat you to some tea."
Liang Yuan smiled without refusing.
They all flew towards the mist-filled mountain peaks.
After a short while, villas appeared before their eyes on the mountain peaks.
Zhang Yujiang and Zhang Wenjing went straight into one of the villas.
This villa was decorated in a simple and classic style with Chinese garden characteristics.
The courtyard had winding corridors, fake mountains and ponds, with fish swimming around, offering a serene elegance.
Liang Yuan glanced at the father and daughter Zhang Yujiang and Zhang Wenjing.
Zhao Kai couldn’t help but smack his lips, thinking that the place these people lived in was so luxurious, even more so than Brother Liang’s place.
Upon entering the villa, there was even a maid specifically serving tea and water.
Liang Yuan felt his fondness for Zhang Yujiang and others decrease a bit more.
In fact, as a leader with significant status and authority, enjoying certain privileges is not a big deal at all.
Liang Yuan held an esteemed position in Yangshan and similarly enjoyed many special treatments.
This is human nature.
However, what Liang Yuan despised was the Dove Faction, who, despite championing salvation and equality for all, had their upper echelons living with such privileges.
This was what rendered him speechless.
Isn’t this behavior akin to wanting to be the whore while also trying to set up a monument of chastity?
"Mr. Liang, please have some tea," Zhang Yujiang said with a smile.
Liang Yuan took a sip without actually swallowing.
As the tea touched his lips, he used his Space Superpower to relocate it elsewhere.
"Doesn’t this tea have a more fragrant taste compared to pre-Flood World tea?" Zhang Yujiang smiled.
Liang Yuan said plainly: "I don’t understand tea; I’m afraid I’ll disappoint Commander Zhang."
Zhang Yujiang raised an eyebrow, detecting the coldness in Liang Yuan’s distant tone.
He couldn’t help but ask: "Is Mr. Liang planning to visit the Celestial Abyss tunnel this time?"
Liang Yuan nodded slightly, saying: "I do want to observe this so-called Celestial Abyss tunnel, but before that, there’s something I need to trouble Commander Zhang with."
Zhang Yujiang looked deeply at Liang Yuan: "Oh? What is it?"
"I want Pei Yuanhu!"
"Hmm?"
Zhang Yujiang’s eyes instantly narrowed.
He stared at Liang Yuan, confirming that Liang Yuan was not joking.
Zhang Yujiang’s expression gradually darkened and he said: "Mr. Liang, what do you mean by this?"
"Pei Yuanhu is an important figure in our military, under our protection."
Liang Yuan stared at him: "Pei Yuanhu is also the mastermind behind the cult of the Water God Sect, and the Heart Core and Brain Core of the Miyuan Rainforest are still in his possession!"
"Is the military so protective of this cult leader because they want to protect him, or are they interested in the Heart Core and Brain Core he holds?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhang Yujiang’s face immediately darkened, and the atmosphere in the living room of the villa became tense.
There seemed to be an invisible clash of auras between the two.
Zhao Kai and Zhang Wenjing also instantly looked at the two and unconsciously clenched their fists.
As if, in the next moment, they were ready to act!
For a moment, the atmosphere at the scene became charged with gunpowder!
