Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food-Chapter 125 - 91 The Daoist Priest on the Rooftop of Building 75_3
Chapter 125: Chapter 91 The Daoist Priest on the Rooftop of Building 75_3
Yang Shenmin, in order to survive in this chaotic world, had no choice but to follow Elder Lin in their schemes and deceptions.
Elder Lin used his medical skills to save people, pretending to the outside world to be a highly skilled Daoist, using Daoist techniques to help the injured.
When they got benefits, Elder Lin would share some with Yang Shenmin, so the two had a cooperative relationship.
Therefore, Yang Shenmin knew Elder Lin’s background very well.
"Hello? Can you hear me?"
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the bucket.
Everyone was overjoyed, and Yang Shenmin quickly responded, "I hear you, can you hear us?"
"Yes, I can hear you. Let me introduce myself, I’m Liang Yuan, the owner of unit 76. What was that burst of golden light just now?"
Liang Yuan got straight to the point and asked directly.
Yang Shenmin glanced at Elder Lin, who smiled and said, "I’ll explain."
"My esteemed donor, I’m Lin Songyang, the owner of unit 75. You can call me Daoist Lin. The golden light earlier was from the Golden Light Technique of my school. I’m sorry for disturbing everyone."
He spoke as if it was no big deal, yet with full grandeur.
Anyone who heard it would feel some awe.
In these times, it was indeed surprising to encounter someone accomplished in the Daoist arts.
Liang Yuan and the others fell silent.
Elder Lin was quite pleased with this effect, smiling slightly.
But then, a puzzled voice came from the bucket.
"Wasn’t that golden light the effect of a mutant ability?"
Elder Lin’s expression changed instantly, thinking to himself that he was in trouble.
The person on the other side obviously knew about mutant abilities. How could he have forgotten that aspect?
He quickly regained his composure and said, "Donor Liang, with the great catastrophe, spiritual energy has revived, and mutant abilities have emerged. Our Daoist school’s techniques have also transformed from health preservation to Immortal Techniques."
His words were indeed misleading.
Liang Yuan on the other side couldn’t help but feel a bit apprehensive. Spiritual energy revival?
He had read novels about spiritual energy revival and had heard about it.
But he had never thought deeply about it.
Now, these words from the old man gave him a fright.
Could it really be the spiritual energy revival?
Could the global mutation awakenings be just a natural change accompanying the spiritual energy revival?
In just a moment, he dismissed this notion.
Because his system had indicated: mutated creatures!
These four words explained everything.
He immediately understood that the person on the other side was most likely an old fraud.
He directly asked, "Who among you is the manager?"
Everyone looked at Elder Lin.
Elder Lin’s eyes flickered, and he said, "I was recommended by everyone to temporarily take charge of everyone’s safety..."
"The heavy rain continues, and the floodwaters are still rising. How much food do you have left? Is it enough?" Liang Yuan interrupted directly and asked.
Elder Lin was stunned and immediately said, "We don’t have much food left."
Joking aside, of course, they would claim to be poor now.
And indeed, they were genuinely poor.
Liang Yuan continued, "We still have plenty of food here. We can offer supplies in exchange, but I only accept live shells, sea shells, crabs, lobsters, and other shellfish."
"We can offer you rice, flour, or seasonings like salt and sugar in return. If you need anything, contact me anytime, and I’ll send someone here regularly to communicate."
His words left Elder Lin and the others wide-eyed.
"What? You still have surplus food?"
"Wait, how do we trade? I have sea shells that I just collected yesterday."
"I also have shells, and we have crabs at home. They’re all alive, but I didn’t dare to eat them."
"Brother, do you have any medicine? Fever reducers? My child has a high fever that won’t go down..."
Surrounding Elder Lin, people began speaking excitedly all at once.
Food was practically hard currency.
Eating fish every day was driving them crazy.
If they could eat grains and carbohydrates, it would bring immense happiness.
Yang Shenmin asked the important question, "How do we trade? There’s a massive flood separating us, making it impossible to trade."
Liang Yuan replied directly, "I’ll find a way to set up two more ropes. Then we can slide from the 32nd floor to one of your lower floors."
"Likewise, you can package your sea shells and slide them over from the 32nd floor to us."
"Alright, when is the trade?" Yang Shenmin asked quickly.
"Tell me what you need, and I’ll give you a quote and corresponding supplies." Liang Yuan said.
Yang Shenmin quickly said, "Alright, we’ll discuss it now."
"Good, secure the ropes, and I’ll prepare the other two ropes for trade."
Liang Yuan wasted no time, pulling the rope straight to the tent where Zhou Jiaqiang previously lived.
Then he instructed Ma Guocai, "Old Ma, keep an eye on the ropes, communicate with the other side, and list their needs. I’ll prepare the other trading ropes."
"Alright." Old Ma nodded immediately.
Liang Yuan quickly went downstairs to prepare the ropes.
Setting up the ropes was simple. Tying a dumbbell plate, he threw it forcefully, and it could hit the opposite building a hundred meters away.
As long as there was a height difference, transporting supplies wouldn’t be difficult.
Of course, if possible, setting up a pulley would make the process smoother, preventing jams.
Though professional pulleys were not common, Liang Yuan found some balance cars. After removing the batteries, the wheels were perfect for making pulleys.
He quickly crafted the pulley system, including a manual retrieval mechanism, completing the setup.
At this point, the materials from the other side were listed.
Liang Yuan didn’t look at their needs first. He checked their sea products inventory instead.
"67 sea shells, 12 crabs, 4 lobsters, 2 sea turtles..."
Seeing the list, Liang Yuan’s eyes brightened.
sea shells alone!
Each sea shell could be worth about 30 points.
Such a number could give him nearly 2,000 points?
As for crabs, each worth around 30 points, 12 could be about 360 points?
And the sea turtles and lobsters, though he hadn’t calculated before, were surely valuable.
Filled with joy, Liang Yuan estimated conservatively that this trade could bring him three to four thousand points!
