Chapter 416 - 189: Arrival and Hindrance

Upon hearing the words of the Chen Brothers, everyone immediately became excited.

"Have we already reached the Yangshan area?"

"Yangshan District, I know that place, the old demolition district, it’s right at the foot of Yangshan."

"Haha, we finally made it, finally made it."

"Once we get up the mountain, I’m definitely going to build a big wooden house at the highest point for you, dear. We won’t have to worry about floods anymore."

"Boohoo, if only you were still alive, honey."

...

On the three rafts, many people showed signs of excitement.

The discussions were incessant. Some had just lost loved ones, and seeing the hope of survival, they felt even more sorrow for those who had passed.

Maybe if they hadn’t gone to Turtle Island, although they wouldn’t have obtained Mutated Fruit, at least they would still be alive.

Old Ma, Cai Zhi, and others also recovered from their gloomy and depressed moods.

Seeing Yangshan so close, they couldn’t help but feel invigorated.

It’s good to be alive.

As for awakening superpowers, there’s a lot of vegetation on the mountain, maybe there’s Mutated Fruit growing too?

At the very least, they are still alive, right?

"You two, could you lead the way? We’re really unfamiliar with this area." Liang Yuan asked.

Chen Jun nodded and said with a smile, "We were actually planning to check out Yangshan. Since everyone is heading there, why don’t we go together? Follow us."

Liang Yuan nodded and immediately had each team maneuver their rafts to follow the fishing boat.

The fishing boat moved on the water, originally supposed to be powered by a motor. Nowadays, without petrol to start the motor, it naturally couldn’t sail fast.

Throughout the journey, the Chen Brothers paddled with oars, which naturally made the speed a bit slow.

Watching this scene, Liang Yuan slightly frowned.

Zhao Kai couldn’t help but say, "Brother Liang, how about we send a few people over to help?"

Liang Yuan thought for a moment and said, "You go ask them if they need help."

Zhao Kai nodded and immediately shouted, "You two, we have quite a few people and oars over here. Do you need help?"

Chen Jun and Chen Cai exchanged a glance, then Chen Jun immediately smiled, "It’s indeed a bit tiring. If you can help, that would be great."

Chen Cai also said, "This boat is our family’s livelihood. Now with floods everywhere, we rely on it to travel."

Liang Yuan didn’t speak, he just took a deep look at the brothers.

These two travel by boat, how could they possibly survive without superpowers?

But with superpowers, they were unwilling to use them to assist paddling, clearly worried about exposing their abilities.

Obviously, they were hiding their power.

Of course, this isn’t unreasonable. When encountering strangers, no one would wholeheartedly trust the other. Hiding strength is normal.

At the moment, Liang Yuan didn’t see any malice in the two.

Zhao Kai led a group of people onto the brothers’ boat, then helped with the paddling.

The Chen Brothers directed the direction at the bow, while chatting with Zhao Kai.

"Brother Kai, are you all from the same district?"

"Yes, we’re all from the same building."

"Wow, that means you guys have a good relationship, managing to come out together." Chen Cai said in surprise.

Zhao Kai felt a bit moved inside; it seemed this guy also knew about the conflicts and intrigue in high-rise buildings, otherwise, he wouldn’t say such things.

He smiled and said, "As long as there’s a strong leader, everyone actually gets along pretty well."

"Oh? Is that strong leader Mr. Liang over there?" Chen Jun probed.

Zhao Kai nodded, "Of course."

"I wouldn’t have guessed. Mr. Liang looks young and handsome, but doesn’t seem particularly strong. At least not as strong as that big guy over there. How can he make everyone listen to him?"

Chen Jun pointed to the tall and sturdy Shi Haizhu not far away, smiling.

Zhao Kai glanced at him, significantly said, "The great flood arrived, mutated monsters are everywhere, it’s not just about who’s stronger physically."

"You two traveling in such a small fishing boat, daring to brave the flood waves, you really think it’s just relying on physical strength?"

Upon hearing this, the Chen Brothers’ expressions slightly changed.

The two exchanged glances, immediately understanding that amongst this group, there must be superpower users.

The leader named Liang was most likely a superpower user.

But it’s uncertain what his ability might be.

Chen Jun calculated in his mind, his face still full of smiles, "Brother Kai is right. Times have changed, it’s not about who’s tall and strong to have power."

"I wonder what ability Mr. Liang has to be recognized by everyone?"

Zhao Kai smiled, "Everyone acknowledges Brother Liang not because of his powers, but because he genuinely helps everyone."

"However, you two, lone warriors venturing into the flood waters, what’s your reliance?"

Chen Jun laughed heartily, "Us? What can we rely on, just this small boat and our lifelong familiarity with water."

The three’s brief conversation didn’t reveal anyone’s depth.

Zhao Kai had no further intention of small talks; they were simply borrowing their directions, with no other plans. If the brothers wanted to hide their strength, let them be.

Of course, if they harbored malice, on those three rafts, Brother Liang didn’t even need to make a move. With so many superpower users, one spit from each could drown these two.

The Chen Brothers were both surprised and delighted.

Seeing Zhao Kai and the group’s fearless attitude, not worried about their presence, they estimated that there were surely superpower users in this group.

The key point is they have a strong crowd, the folks on Yangshan might not be able to suppress this group.
