Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food-Chapter 40: Drone Reconnaissance

"Xiaosong, is that you?" Granny Li hurriedly called out, afraid that others would intercept.

Song Wen’s voice came from downstairs, "It’s me, Granny Li, wait for me a moment."

She untied the rope outside the window and checked the food.

All still within the expiration date, ten pieces of bread and a packet of instant noodles.

This made her swallow her saliva; she had been surviving on snacks these past days.

She couldn’t remember how long it had been since she ate carbs.

People who don’t eat carbs long-term will become unusually irritable and will experience hair loss and other issues.

She couldn’t wait to tear open a bag of bread and immediately started gobbling it down.

At this moment, the once famous streamer with millions of followers was eating voraciously without any image.

She almost choked on a piece of bread, hurriedly drinking a cup of rainwater.

This finally made her feel better.

"Xiaosong? Xiaosong?"

Granny Li’s voice sounded anxiously.

Song Wen quickly replied, "I’m here, Granny Li, wait for me a moment, I’ll put the drone in the bag."

She promptly responded. At this moment, she truly trusted Granny Li and the others.

After all, they not only traded food with her but even gave food first, showing great sincerity.

In such dire times, it’s extremely rare for someone to exchange with goodwill.

She wanted to cherish this opportunity and didn’t want to break the deal.

Trust is built up bit by bit.

In a post-apocalyptic world, going solo definitely won’t work; only by sticking together can there be a slim chance to survive.

She understood this more clearly than anyone else.

So she didn’t hesitate, immediately packing the drone and the remote control device into the bag.

Worried that the bag might tear, she also wrapped it with a bedsheet, tied it tightly, and secured it to the rope, shouting, "Granny Li, the drone is tied up, be careful when you pull it up; don’t let it get damaged."

Granny Li heard this and immediately laughed, "Hey, hey, good child, thank you."

She and Old Ma quickly pulled the drone up.

Liang Yuan and Yang Mei also came over. Old Ma opened the bag and said, "Xiaoliang, check it out, see if it can be used."

Liang Yuan nodded, immediately beginning to check the drone.

After turning it on, it still had eighty percent battery left.

It seemed that the other party hadn’t used it much.

Liang Yuan immediately connected the remote control device and started operating it.

The drone propeller buzzed and immediately flew outside.

The device showed a clear image captured by the drone.

Watching the drone, Liang Yuan saw it fly lower and toward the tenth floor, observing the flooding below.

In the dim light, the water surface was extremely murky, with all sorts of garbage floating.

Wooden boards, branches, foam, paper boxes, plastic bottles, and so on.

The city garbage was abundant, anything that could float was all drifting with the current.

Near the building, quite a bit of ’garbage’ was blocked around it.

Faintly visible on improvised floating objects near the building were people salvaging items.

Liang Yuan’s drone didn’t get too close, worried that the others might notice.

He continued to operate the drone, hovering above the water.

Suddenly, from the murky underwater, a silver-white fish abruptly leaped out.

The fish shot out like an arrow, cutting through the waves toward the drone.

Liang Yuan was startled and quickly maneuvered the drone to dodge.

In an instant, the drone pulled away, and the fish plunged back into the water with a splash.

"Ah!"

Yang Mei and the others crowded around Liang Yuan, they too saw the scene.

Yang Mei couldn’t help but exclaim softly.

Granny Li couldn’t help but ask, "What kind of fish is that? How can it jump so high?"

"Its mouth looks like a gun barrel, so long?"

Old Ma, knowledgeable as he was, immediately said, "A marlin, perhaps?"

Ding Yan, who was nearby, nodded, "Yes, it looks like a marlin, but the size seems off, a normal marlin can be two meters to five meters, this fish looks only half a meter."

Liang Yuan was moved, "Has it mutated?"

"Could mutant fish not only grow bigger but also evolve smaller?"

The group discussed briefly before Liang Yuan continued to operate the drone, flying it above the water to look for rescue boats.

A short while later, however, the outside was dim, visibility low, making it hard to see far.

With thunder and lightning and heavy rain, it was quite dangerous.

Old Ma said, "Xiaoliang, forget it, let’s first confirm Liu Erlong and his group’s location."

Liang Yuan nodded, immediately pulling back the drone.

As the drone ascended, the view became increasingly broad.

Suddenly, a huge black shadow swam through the murky water.

In an instant, waves surged as if a giant creature were moving!

Watching the drone, everyone gasped.

"What was that!"

Liang Yuan quickly focused on the drone’s footage.

But the murky water surface, the massive shadow’s brief appearance before it sank back down, made it impossible to observe.

Liang Yuan took a deep breath.

"There is a big creature under this water!"

"How big is that thing?" Old Ma couldn’t help but ask.

Liang Yuan’s face was heavy, "The drone is now twenty stories high, from this angle, you can still tell how huge that thing is, it must be at least seven or eight meters."

"We can check the playback later, compare it with the building," Ding Yan suggested.

"Hmm."

Liang Yuan nodded, the group feeling weighed down.

Why are there so many marine creatures under the water, what has happened to this world.

Liang Yuan controlled the drone, monitoring each window.

On the twentieth floor, a woman was tied up with ropes to a bed, while several naked men laughed without restraint.

Liang Yuan’s face darkened, while Ding Yan showed rage, Granny Li cursed, Sister Mei covered her mouth with reddened eyes.

"Are they Liu Erlong’s men?"

Liang Yuan asked.

Ma Guocai looked at those men and slightly shook his head, "Doesn’t seem like it, I haven’t seen these men before."

Liang Yuan spoke gravely, "Seems there are quite a few scum like Liu Erlong in the building; maybe they formed a small group avoiding Liu Erlong, since they are too weak to fight him."

"Those bastards!" Old Ma cursed, "They deserve to die."

Liang Yuan sighed, raised the drone, and continued to monitor other floors.

Focused on the floors Ding Yan mentioned, the eleventh, fourteenth, twenty-first, twenty-eighth.

These rooms were all occupied by Liu Erlong.

Clever like a fox, Liu Erlong acted wickedly, bullying many, afraid of revenge, so his residence varied.

Liang Yuan checked each room one by one, finally finding Liu Erlong on the fourteenth floor.

On the fourteenth floor, Liu Erlong, Mao Xiaoqiang, Chen Hu, Zhang Li, and Wu Hua had gathered.

Liu Erlong seemed furious, his subordinates all had their heads down, not daring to speak.

Through the window, the drone could only capture images but not sound.

After a while, his subordinates dispersed.

Only Liu Erlong remained in the room.

He walked to the bedroom, from which he dragged out two women.

Granny Li saw the two women and immediately gasped.
