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

Chapter 1367 - 700: Test Flight Mission

"Mr. Liang, the spaceship doesn’t have a name yet. Why don’t you give it one?" Old Li chuckled.

Liang Yuan looked at the spaceship before him, thought for a moment, and said, "Let’s call it Yangshan No. 1."

"If this test succeeds, we’ll surely design larger and safer ships in the future."

"The Yangshan series can continue."

Li Hanzhong nodded and smiled, "Straightforward and clear, that’s a great name."

Fu Qibo, Ren Jie, and others clapped in agreement.

The next morning, there was an eye-catching task listed on the first row of the mission bulletin board in the cafeteria on the first floor of the complex.

Task Name: Spaceship Test Pilot

Task Requirements: Must be over eighteen years old with a high school diploma or above...

Task Description: Assist the R&D department in test flying the ’Yangshan No. 1’ spaceship and explore the thundercloud.

Task Difficulty: ☆☆☆☆☆

Task Rewards: Three permanent residence permits for the Mirage Snake Space, three custom genetic species, thirty thousand Points...

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, Old Li! Come quick and check out today’s mission bulletin, there’s a big task!"

"What task? You’re this excited?"

"It’s issued by the R&D department. The task rewards include a permanent residence permit for the Mirage Snake Space, custom genetic species, thirty thousand Points, all kinds of supplies. Damn, if you complete this task, you can basically live comfortably for life!"

"Let me see, let me see. Whoa, I can’t believe it!"

"A spaceship? We have a spaceship at Yangshan now?"

"A residence permit for the Mirage Snake Space? What’s the use of that? My family already lives there."

"Are you dumb or just lucky? You were the earliest batch to join Yangshan, which let your family enter the Mirage Snake Space. Look at the ice field outside, so many later arrivals don’t even have a place in Yangshan."

"So is this task not only for us but also providing an opportunity for those outside?"

"Definitely! I bet the promotion team is already out there spreading the word."

"Don’t just look at the residence permits, take a look at the rewards behind it, three custom genetic species!"

"Whoa, custom genetic species! What does that mean?"

"It means custom species specifically tailored to your attributes."

"Wow, a single genetic species costs thirty thousand Points, right? That’s the price over at the R&D department."

"The key is customization! Do you understand the value? The R&D department only sells Spirit Attribute, Water Attribute, and Earth Attribute genetic species. Dark Attribute and Spatial Attribute species are basically not for sale."

"I’m a Fire Attribute Superpower User, and I’ve been unable to find a genetic species that matches my needs. If I take this task, I’ll get a Fire Attribute species tailored just for me."

"And it’s three of them, not just one! In Points, that’s ninety thousand Points!"

"Look at the reward again, there’s thirty thousand Points as compensation!"

"Wow, the R&D department is serious this time!"

"But with such generous task rewards, completing the task must be anything but simple."

"Where’s the spaceship supposed to fly, anyway?"

"If it crashes, do we not survive?"

"Not sure, the task description isn’t clear on that."

"Why don’t we head to the R&D department to find out more?"

All of a sudden, the area in front of the bulletin board was bustling, with many people quickly heading to the R&D department to get more information.

Meanwhile, news about this promotional mission was spreading to areas outside Yangshan.

Many refugees who traveled from afar, seeking shelter at Yangshan, became excited upon hearing this news.

Compared to other rewards, the lure of the residence permit was the greatest for them!

They’d heard of the Mirage Snake Space, a separate Spatial Floating Island.

Not only was it free from floods and blizzards, but the powerful Mutant Beasts there had long been controlled.

The entire Mirage Snake Space had become Yangshan’s backyard.

Everyone knew it was now a sanctuary in this Flood World, where they could escape their current dire straits.

Increasing numbers of people started flocking to Yangshan, eager to apply as test pilots.

About a kilometer away from Yangshan, hundreds of tents stood on the icy surface.

Xu Huang dragged his disproportionate body back from outside.

But before entering his tent, he saw some raggedly dressed old men surrounding his family’s tent.

Inside, his sister’s screams could be heard.

"Go away, get away!"

"That’s our fish! My brother caught it after much effort, go away, please!"

Xu Huang’s eyes reddened instantly. His hand clenched the Bone Saber tightly, and he roared, "Get away from me!"

Whoosh!

He swiftly dashed behind one of the old men and swung his Bone Saber hard down.

The old man’s neck split open, and he let out a miserable scream.

The other old men jumped in fright and hurriedly scattered.

Someone screamed in terror, "Murder! There’s been a murder!"

"Xu Huang, you’re done for! You’re done! Yangshan Patrol Team had said that while we can gather here, anyone who dares commit murder and disrupt Yangshan’s order will be expelled!"

"Help! Murdered!"

The old men shouted, but Xu Huang couldn’t care less. His eyes red with rage, he furiously chased after them with his Bone Saber.

The old men ran away in fear.

Xu Huang chased them for several dozen meters, eventually stopping under the cries of his sister from the tent.

"Brother! Brother! Come back! You need to come back! Mom’s calling you back!"

Xu Huang tightly clenched the Bone Saber in his hand and furiously yelled at the fleeing figures.

Then he turned to look toward the tent.

He saw his sister standing charmingly at the tent’s entrance, surrounded by curious onlookers, yet no one stepped forward to help.

And even more infuriatingly, some people were trying to snatch the Mutant Fish that had fallen to the ground.

Enraged, he rushed forward, lifting his saber high and shouting, "Put it down now!"

A brilliant red flame suddenly ignited on his Bone Saber!

Whoosh!

As he swung his saber down, the flames surged forth violently, carving out a massive flaming blade nearly three meters long!

Such a formidable flaming saber technique immediately frightened those people, forcing them to quickly retreat, stumbling as they dodged.

Xu Huang, panting, rushed forward and reclaimed his Mutant Fish.

He glared angrily, eyes wide, fixedly staring at these people.

Upon witnessing this, they all stepped back a few paces.

"Haha, a Fire Attribute Superpower User without a Genetic Species will never break through in this lifetime."

"Look at this kid’s eyes; he probably wants to eat us."

"What’s so domineering about being a Fire Attribute Superpower User?"

As a wave of cold laughter and ridicule echoed around, Xu Huang’s eyes were filled with rage.

He is a Fire Attribute Superpower User, but without a Genetic Species, he has been stuck at 50 Points, unable to advance to the Genetic Species level.

In the past, having a Main Attribute of 50 Points was not considered weak.

Yet it’s been nearly two years since the Flood World began, and there are many like him with a Main Attribute of 50 Points.

The truly weak have all perished.

Ordinary people have become rare, scarcely seen anymore.

Xu Huang came from the south, originally setting out with his parents and younger sister, searching for food and a Shelter.

During this period, they encountered numerous crises.

His father was gravely injured by a Mutant Beast attack not long ago and eventually fell by the roadside.

His mother also suffered from mental trauma, spending more time unconscious than awake each day.

Although his sister is a Healing Superpower User, she can only barely stabilize their mother’s condition.

He inquired along the way and learned that there is a large Shelter at Yangshan, so he came specifically looking for a way to save his mother.

Unexpectedly, there were so many people at Yangshan, and to seek help there, he needed sufficient Points.

So their family settled near Yangshan, and he accumulated Points by fishing at the fishery.

However, despite the Yangshan Patrol Team maintaining order nearby, incidents of strong-arm tactics still occur.

As long as there is no loss of life, the Yangshan Patrol Team does not intervene in the refugees’ lives on the outer ice.

Therefore, refugees stationed on the ice outside Yangshan do not have it easy.

They are not truly part of the Yangshan Shelter, so they aren’t protected by it.

If they want to join Yangshan and become part of the shelter, they need to make significant contributions.

This is one of Yangshan’s policies.

Otherwise, it would be unfair to those who joined Yangshan earlier if all could join easily.

To join Yangshan, they must earn enough Points, and only with sufficient Points can they purchase property at Yangshan and be eligible to become residents.

Xu Huang gripped the saber handle tightly, feeling a surge of helplessness.

The fish he caught each day were only enough to exchange for a little food at Yangshan, barely accumulating any Points.

Purchasing property at Yangshan for his sister and mother to live there seemed an unattainable dream.

Today’s situation was not the first time.

This time he returned earlier, or who knows what might have happened at home.

"Brother! Brother! Come back quickly!"

Xu Huang heard his sister’s call, took a deep breath to suppress his anger, picked up the fish he caught from the ground, and turned back to the tent.

Inside the tent was a sturdy little bed with a middle-aged woman lying on it.

The woman looked exhausted and listless, glancing at Xu Huang and Xu Lei, she murmured, "Children, I’m useless, dragging you down."

Xu Huang immediately shook his head, eyes slightly red, and said, "Mom, don’t say that. There’s a way. I’ve heard that there’s Spirit Recovery Potion at Yangshan. If you can just take this potion, you’ll definitely recover."

The woman shook her head slightly: "It’s too expensive, children, the Points you’ve saved must be used to get into the Shelter, so you and your sister can survive better."

"Your sister is a Healing Superpower User; only in a stable and orderly force can she fully utilize her abilities."

"Your superpower lacks a Genetic Species, making further advancement difficult. Don’t waste more Points on me."

Xu Huang shook his head, while Xu Lei cried and said, "Mom, that won’t happen. We can earn Points now. I can earn Points by healing those superpower users."

"Mom, don’t worry, I’m here for everything," Xu Huang also said.

The woman opened her mouth to speak, but a wave of fatigue suddenly hit, and with dwindling Spiritual Power, she couldn’t stop herself from closing her eyes, falling asleep.

Xu Huang called out several times, finally sighing.

He took a deep breath and said, "Sis, I’m going to sell these fish and leave one for us to cook and eat."

Xu Lei answered tearfully.

Only then did Xu Huang carry a basket filled with Mutant Fish and head toward Yangshan.

He hadn’t walked for long when he overheard someone discussing the research department’s task.

At first, he didn’t pay much attention, but then he heard someone mention that the task’s reward included a residence permit!

He suddenly stopped, quickly looking toward the group.

"What did you say? What task, with a residence permit as the reward?"

He hurried over to inquire about the situation.

The people chatting didn’t turn him away.

Someone excitedly replied, "Young man, don’t you know? Early this morning, news came from Yangshan that the research department there has issued a task, looking for test pilots, and the reward is tremendous."

"Not only do they offer a residence permit but also custom Genetic Species, 30,000 Points, and various supplies."

"Now many people have gone crazy, rushing to the Yangshan research department for interviews."

Upon hearing this, Xu Huang’s eyes widened with joy.

A residence permit, custom Genetic Species, these things, every one of them is desperately what he needs!

He eagerly asked, "Where is the task? Where did you see it? Is the news accurate?"

"Oh, it’s posted over there at Floating Bridge Port. Every fishery has the announcement; you’ll see once you get there..."

Without another word, Xu Huang sprinted toward the fishery.
