Chapter 74 Planning and Speculation on Variation (Two-in-One 4k)

Liang Yuan did not answer, but instead asked, "What do you all think?"

Cai Zhi sighed, "Originally, Old Ma and I thought that if we could defeat Liu Erlong, everyone would be free, and we could focus on finding food and supporting our families."

"But the reaction of those residents yesterday gave us a harsh wake-up call."

"It made me realize the reality."

"Now it’s the end-of-the-world disaster. These people can’t be relied on. I’m afraid our small group is one of the more stable ones in the building."

"Now I don’t want to care about others. I just want us to get through this disaster safely."

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "I’m happy to hear you think that way."

"However, saying we’ll get through the disaster is too idealistic. We don’t even know when this flood will stop."

He looked out the window at the balcony, where heavy rain was still pouring and thunder was roaring.

"Liang Yuan, do you have any plans?" Ding Yan couldn’t help but ask.

Liang Yuan nodded and said, "I do have a plan that I want to discuss with you all."

Cai Zhi quickly said, "Go ahead."

Ding Yan said, "I’ll go get Zhao Kai to listen in."

Granny Li said, "I’ll go call Old Ma."

Liang Yuan said, "Old Ma has trouble moving around, so let’s all go to him and talk."

With that, Ding Yan called Zhao Kai, and everyone went to Old Ma’s room.

Only then did Liang Yuan start speaking, "We still have food on hand, but this food might not last long."

"Actually, we can still catch those mutant fish, but what happened yesterday made me realize something."

"Since fish can mutate, cats can mutate, what about other creatures?"

"I think, to create a safe living environment for us, the most urgent thing is to clear out the mutant creatures in the building."

"Otherwise, while we’re fishing, a highly mutated monster might silently appear in this building, and by then, none of us might survive."

Zhao Kai couldn’t help but ask, "Brother Liang, are there other mutant creatures in the building?"

Liang Yuan nodded, "There definitely are, but we don’t know. Those who have pets at home might experience mutations."

"The flood has only been here for six months, many mutant creatures aren’t very strong yet. It’s not too late for us to act now."

"But if we leave them alone, the mutation progress of those mutant beasts might rapidly increase. They’ll become stronger, and our chances of survival will get smaller and smaller."

Ding Yan couldn’t help but ask, "Should we gather the other residents to join this effort?"

Liang Yuan shook his head, "No, those people are unreliable. Bringing them along rashly could backfire."

Ding Yan and Cai Zhi couldn’t help but think of the troublemaking middle-aged man from yesterday. They felt Liang Yuan had a valid point.

Liang Yuan said, "We have drones. We can inspect each household one by one to see if they have pets."

"Or we can knock on their doors directly and ask."

"If they do, we must eliminate these pets in advance."

"Another issue is Wang Yanmei on the fourteenth floor. She’s always been a threat, and we need to find a way to deal with her."

When Liang Yuan suddenly mentioned Wang Yanmei, everyone fell silent.

The terror of Wang Yanmei had left a deep impression on everyone.

Granny Li couldn’t help but say, "Yanmei didn’t used to be like this, how come..."

Old Ma interrupted her, "Old Li, she’s no longer the Wang Yanmei we used to know."

Granny Li sighed and said no more.

Liang Yuan said, "Wang Yanmei has already undergone mutation and evolution, she has awakened a mutated ability, but this mutation evolution seems to have also affected her mental state, making her extremely aggressive."

"It seems like if we don’t provoke her, nothing will happen."

"But in reality, as long as she wants to stay alive, she needs resources, she needs food, and she will likely come into conflict with us."

"My suggestion is to eliminate her!"

Liang Yuan’s expression was calm. He was not a bloodthirsty person.

But when it came to potential threats to his own life, he had to find a solution.

This is Liang Yuan’s principle, and it’s the way he’s always conducted himself.

Whether dealing with Liu Erlong or Li Zhiqiang, he always faced issues proactively, never hiding in a corner waiting for luck or relying on others.

"Liang Yuan, can just a few of us handle this?"

Cai Zhi couldn’t help but ask.

It wasn’t that he was scared. He genuinely had no confidence.

Yesterday, dozens of residents were chased by Wang Yanmei like she was slaughtering chickens and dogs, and none could withstand her for a moment.

Almost all of them were killed in a single encounter.

Those hands of hers could no longer be called hands.

They were claws!

Claws embedded with ten daggers!

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "It might have been dangerous before, but things are different now."

Everyone was stunned, not understanding.

Liang Yuan looked at Ding Yan, "Ding Yan, show everyone."

Everyone looked at Ding Yan with curiosity.

Ding Yan smiled, stepped forward, and said, "I’ve also awakened a mutated ability."

As she spoke, she extended her fist, and instantly, a faint layer of light appeared on her fist.

She swung her fist at the floor!

Bang!

The floor trembled violently, and the one-inch-thick wooden floor shattered instantly!

Several nearby wooden planks also instantly lifted and flew into the air.

Everyone was shocked.

"This... this..."

"Sister Ding, how did you do that?" Zhao Kai couldn’t help but exclaim.
