Chapter 1389 - 722: Guan Xiaodie
Chapter 1389: Chapter 722: Guan Xiaodie
Liang Yuan laughed and felt very close upon seeing Ji Xiaoyu again.
Ji Xiaoyu quickly swam up to Liang Yuan. In her mermaid form, a shining scale on her forehead made her lovely face glow brightly.
Her skin was fair, and she was a natural beauty.
A red fish tail, full of youthful vitality.
Her long black hair floated in the water, smooth like silk.
Excitedly, she swam around Liang Yuan, shouting, "Mr. Liang, did you come to see me?"
Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Yes, I haven’t seen you all in a long time, so I came by. I heard you’re doing well here, with many more merfolk and merfolk superpower users."
Ji Xiaoyu exclaimed, "Yes, we didn’t expect so many people to awaken the merfolk and merperson transformation superpowers."
"Sister Yue said that if our numbers keep increasing, we might even establish an underground city."
Liang Yuan smiled and said, "That’s great! The Yangshan Water Division is always looking to expand, and they’re rapidly producing submersibles. You all can be very useful then."
Ji Xiaoyu quickly said, "Can I join the water division fleet? I want to pilot a Yangshan submersible and explore the underwater world!"
"I always wanted to be a diver."
Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Of course you can, as long as you can pass the water division fleet’s assessment, you can join anytime."
"But if you want to be a free adventurer, it’s better to save up and buy a submersible from the factory."
"Huh? Can submersibles be privately purchased? I heard before that our submersibles couldn’t be sold privately," Ji Xiaoyu asked in surprise.
This submersible technology involves many of Yangshan’s core development department’s technologies.
Previously, Yangshan indeed had such rules, prohibiting the sale of these technologies to private individuals.
However, as Yangshan’s technology continues to update and iterate, the new versions of submersibles are far more advanced than the old versions.
Now, even selling the old version submersibles would not cause leaks of Yangshan’s high-tech.
After all, if we want rapid development of the whole power, we can’t shut the doors and work alone; civilian technology is also worth cultivating.
Who knows if some genius might be hidden among the public, and with the old version submersibles or other rune technology items sold by Yangshan, create something surprising.
Liang Yuan firmly believes this.
Before the apocalypse on Blue Star, many civilian technologies rapidly developed and surpassed military technology in some whimsical ideas, eventually taken over by the military.
Yangshan should not limit the residents’ creativity. As long as the core technology isn’t leaked, releasing ordinary technology can reduce the inventory problem of old machines and stimulate the invention and creativity of shelter residents.
When people finally produce remarkable inventions and creations, Yangshan can purchase them at a high price.
This is a win-win.
"Others can’t, but you certainly can, Xiaoyu."
Liang Yuan playfully touched her hair and teased her.
Indeed, Ji Xiaoyu was thoroughly cheered up and laughed heartily.
While they were talking, three people hurriedly ran out of the property building.
"Mr. Liang, why are you here?" Guan Yue exclaimed in surprise.
Liang Yuan laughed and said, "Why? Can’t I come?"
Guan Yue waved her hand quickly: "No, no, of course you can. I was just surprised, considering how busy you are, that you found time to come here."
Liang Yuan laughed heartily and said, "I heard things are going well here, so I came to check it out."
Saying that, Liang Yuan looked to both sides at Ke Guinong and Zhou Guixiang, smiling, "Long time no see, you two."
Ke Guinong quickly smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Liang."
Zhou Guixiang also quickly said, "Mr. Liang, stop standing at the door, please come in."
Liang Yuan smiled slightly, discreetly glancing at Ling Yurong and Di Quanke.
Both shook their heads slightly at him, indicating that neither of their spiritual split thoughts were present here.
Only then did Liang Yuan feel relieved and exchanged pleasantries with the three people.
A moment later, Liang Yuan finally spoke about the purpose of his visit.
He looked at Guan Yue and said, "Miss Guan Yue, I came here to scout for several superpower users adept at underwater survival. I’m planning to form a special team."
"When it comes to superpower users skilled in underwater survival, I can’t think of anyone more suitable than merfolk or merfolk transformation superpower users."
"I wonder if people here would be willing to join this selection."
Upon hearing this, Guan Yue quickly said, "Of course we’re willing."
To be honest, such small matters really don’t require Liang Yuan to personally come.
With a word from him, someone would naturally come to handle it.
Besides, there’s no telling how many people want to find a way to get close to Liang Yuan.
So Guan Yue immediately agreed.
Liang Yuan smiled and said, "In that case, gather those who have awakened their superpowers, and let me take a look."
Liang Yuan revealed his final goal.
Forming a special team was just a side task; the main purpose of this visit was still to investigate the possibility of Ling Yurong and Di Quanke’s spiritual split thoughts being present.
Guan Yue was a person full of action, and without another word, she immediately sent Zhou Guixiang and Ke Guinong to gather the people.
Soon, the two of them brought over a hundred people, all neatly standing in the underwater plaza, waiting for Liang Yuan and the others to come over.
As Guan Yue led Liang Yuan and a few others over, these people started murmuring, wondering what kind of person this Mr. Liang was.
"Hush, he’s here!"
"Stop talking, Sister Guan Yue is here."
"The person next to Sister Guan Yue, is that Mr. Liang? So young, he doesn’t even look like he’s thirty."
"Probably not, I heard Mr. Liang is very young, but I didn’t expect him to be this young."
In the crowd, a female merfolk superpower user with twin ponytails, pretty appearance, and a youthful look, seemingly just a teenager, whispered to her friend, "Mr. Liang is so handsome."
Her friend, also a teenage merfolk superpower user, was exceptionally beautiful. Not only was her hair blue, but even her features and figure were quite mature.
Although just in her teens, she had a figure akin to an abundant mature woman.
An arrogant figure, along with exquisite features, made her stand out among the superpower users.
She glanced at Liang Yuan and said, "Is she Liang Yuan?"
The girl with twin ponytails beside her said, "Xiao Die, we’re local superpower users. Everyone says that many survivors here were saved by Mr. Liang."
"Mr. Liang is not only handsome but also very compassionate, truly impressive."
Xiao Die remained silent, a trace of inexplicable emotion flickering in her eyes.
The crowd was chattering away, and although some spoke quietly, all present were superpower users, able to catch the faintest sounds.
Ke Guinong and Zhou Guixiang, who were at the front, couldn’t help but frown, turning to scold, "Everyone, quiet down!"
The crowd immediately quieted down a bit.
At this moment, Guan Yue asked Ke Guinong, "Uncle Guinong, is everyone here?"
Ke Guinong nodded slightly, "Except for those not at home, everyone in the community is here."
Guan Yue smiled at Liang Yuan and said, "Mr. Liang, take a look?"
Liang Yuan nodded slightly and smiled, "Ling Yurong, Di Quanke, you two go and take a look around."
The two agreed and quickly made a circuit around the crowd.
Ling Yurong suddenly narrowed her eyes when she came face-to-face with the girl named Xiao Die.
Xiao Die also looked up at Ling Yurong, her pupils slightly contracting!
The next moment, Ling Yurong suddenly struck.
A cold palm force instantly enveloped the girl!
"Xiao Die!"
"What are you doing!"
"Stop!"
The nearby merfolk and superpower users immediately shouted, angrily trying to stop Ling Yurong.
Ling Yurong frowned, said nothing, and suddenly exerted her superpower.
In an instant, her body enlarged rapidly, surpassing everyone in the blink of an eye.
She thrust down with her palm, and in an instant, the surrounding water froze, immobilizing everyone, trapping them directly inside chunks of ice.
There was only one person who had escaped the range of Ling Yurong’s cold aura!
Xiao Die!
At this moment, Xiao Die’s face was full of anger and surprise, her movements were like lightning.
With each flick of her tail, she could shoot out a hundred meters!
At this moment, her mind was full of confusion: "My spiritual body! How can it be here? How can it listen to that guy Liang Yuan’s orders?"
Bam!
Before she could respond, a sudden invisible water barrier appeared in the water ahead, and she slammed into it unexpectedly.
Immediately, her forehead was broken, and blood flowed profusely.
Her blue hair was stained red.
Suddenly, the surrounding currents reversed themselves, wrapping her, frantically dragging her back.
From a hundred meters away, Di Quanke extended his hand, easily manipulating the surrounding water.
He turned out to be a Water Attribute Superpower User.
The young girl named Xiao Die couldn’t break free from the surrounding water flow, watching helplessly as she was dragged back.
Only then did Guan Yue react, his face changed tremendously, hurriedly looking at Liang Yuan.
"Mr. Liang, this, this, what’s going on here?"
Liang Yuan had already stood up, not looking at her but instead at the girl controlled by Di Quanke, and asked, "Who is she?"
Guan Yue was stunned and said, "She is Guan Xiao Die, a merfolk superpower user we encountered among the survivors about a month ago."
"According to her, she only awakened a little more than a month ago."
Liang Yuan asked, "During the previous administrative department’s population survey, was she reported?"
"Um, yes, but the information she reported was that she’s a local of our area, living in the previous Xiu’an Garden."
"Has this been verified?" Liang Yuan asked.
Guan Yue realized that Guan Xiao Die’s identity might have issues; otherwise Liang Yuan wouldn’t be questioning so persistently.
She hurriedly said, "We verified it, she’s indeed a resident of that area. We even visited her former home and saw many childhood photos and family portraits."
"What about her parents?"
"She said they passed away during the flood outbreak. We didn’t delve into it due to privacy concerns."
Liang Yuan nodded slightly and said, "Has she shown any unusual behavior since joining you?"
"This... I don’t know."
Guan Yue is a manager, unable to be intimately aware of every newcomer or constantly observe their daily behavior.
Liang Yuan didn’t ask further, only beckoning to Di Quanke and Ling Yurong to bring the girl over.
Soon, the two brought the girl named Guan Xiao Die over.
The girl shouted excitedly, "Let go of me, let go of me."
She looked up at Liang Yuan, angrily saying, "Are you Mr. Liang? Everyone says you’re a good person, is this how a good person behaves?"
Guan Yue’s expression immediately changed, quickly scolding, "Xiao Die, don’t speak nonsense, Mr. Liang wouldn’t wrong someone without cause, there might be some misunderstanding here."
Saying this, she looked at Liang Yuan, "Mr. Liang, what’s going on here?"
Liang Yuan smiled lightly, simply asking Di Quanke and Ling Yurong, "Whose Spiritual Split Thought is this?"
Ling Yurong said, "Mine."
Saying this, she turned to Guan Xiao Die and chuckled, "Stop pretending. What’s the point of releasing her main body consciousness now?"
Upon hearing this, Guan Xiao Die’s face immediately turned ugly.
