"If Tian Wei fights against Liang Yuan, I wonder how the people from Martial King Pavilion will choose sides."
"Heh, itâll be interesting then."
...
Hong Fu listened to everyoneâs discussions, his lips curling slightly, a face full of smugness.
Liang Yuanâs group canât be allowed to stay, especially not near Phoenix Temple.
Otherwise, with these hundred plus people developing, Phoenix Temple will be in danger.
Monsoon, along with Wang Xiao and Han Ben, took Hong Fuâs handwritten letter and quickly left Phoenix Temple, heading toward the mining area.
...
"The wind strives like pulling mountains, the rain pours like breaking rivers. The leaking roof cannot hold, the windows all creak. The ravens fall dead to the ground, chickens and dogs are silent. The old and sick have no place to hide, rising and sitting only sighing in shock."
Meihai Garden, Xiangming Tea House.
Li Yuefeng looked at the raging storm outside, couldnât help but recite a long poem, feeling wistful.
Not far away, under the eaves, old and young children sat on the ground, watching the storm with gloomy faces.
In the courtyard, under the bare plum trees, many fenced shelter areas were set up.
Inside, many wild pigs with plum blossom spots on their bodies rolled in the water searching for food.
In the northern part of the courtyard, there were many stone caves dug into the mountain cliff, with people living inside.
Some red rabbits ran back and forth in underground caves, looking from afar like a cloud of fire.
"Brother Feng, writing poems again?"
Outside the Elegant Residence, a young woman walked over with a smile and greeted.
Li Yuefeng saw her and nodded with a smile, "Mrs. Hanghang, where are you heading so late?"
The young woman smiled shyly, "The child is playing at Sister Liuâs place, Iâm going to pick him up."
Li Yuefeng nodded and smiled, "Itâs getting dark soon, better to return early."
The young woman nodded with a smile, "Alright, Brother Feng, you busy yourself."
Li Yuefeng watched her leave, and then a hot body clung to his back.
"Hmph, do you like these married women?"
Li Yuefeng didnât turn around, smiling as he said, "Put on some clothes, itâs still not dark yet."
Qin Xiaoyan snorted, put on her clothes, and walked out.
She looked under thirty but had the charm of a mature woman, her figure was curvaceous.
She leaned against the window and asked, "What is our Brother Feng brooding over again?"
Li Yuefeng smiled, "What else could it be, this rain has been falling for a whole six months, still no sign of stopping."
"If this keeps up, Iâm worried Yangshan might get flooded."
With these words, Qin Xiaoyanâs face changed slightly, she couldnât help but say, "No way, if Yangshan gets flooded, can the people at the bottom of the mountain still survive?"
Li Yuefeng shook his head, "Human survival abilities are stronger than you think."
"However, this is just my worry, no one knows what will happen in the future."
"Letâs not talk about this, how is the mutant rice research going?"
Qin Xiaoyan sighed, "No progress at all, all the seeds we have are the original ordinary rice seeds, completely unadaptable to the current environment."
"The rice weâve planted canât sprout without sunlight, most of them get soaked and rot."
Li Yuefeng frowned, "This canât go on, we donât have much food left, if we donât get enough carbohydrates, just eating meat wonât solve the problem."
"Looks like weâll have to go into the woods to find mutant rice plants."
Qin Xiaoyan sighed, "There canât be mutant rice on this mountain, maybe mutant plums."
"If there arenât mutant rice, perhaps there are other mutant plants, any carbohydrate-producing plant is worth cultivating."
"Currently, our breeding of Fire Cloud Rabbit and Plum Blossom Pig have good meat yield, every transaction at Gouwu Pavilion brings us full profits."
"It shows that weâre on the right path, in this apocalypse the most important thing isnât improving superpowers, nor finding military bases, itâs solving survival problems."
Qin Xiaoyan said, "I understand, but weâre slow at developing with just our two hundred people."
Li Yuefeng sighed, "True, human resources are the most crucial. But Yangshan is only this big, it canât hold too many people."
He wanted to expand his influence and increase population.
But Yangshan is not big enough, if the population grows too large, it will severely affect the distribution of Yangshanâs resources.
This is why heâs never opposed Phoenix Temple, Mining Area driving away those seeking refuge on the island.
Itâs not that he doesnât want to take them in, itâs just that Yangshan currently canât support more people.
Knock knock knock...
At this moment, hurried footsteps suddenly came from the corridor.
Li Yuefeng and Qin Xiaoyan immediately looked towards the corridor outside.
They saw a thin woman with a stern face, running quickly with a bit of anxiety on her face.
Qin Xiaoyan saw her and immediately sneered, "Qu Mengju, why are you in such a hurry? Afraid Iâll eat Brother Feng?"
Qu Mengju ignored her, ran straight to Li Yuefeng, urgently said, "Brother Feng, I just got news, a group of people are coming up the mountain, hundreds of them."
Li Yuefengâs eyebrows raised, "Oh? How did they come up the mountain? From where?"
"From the north."
"Phoenix Temple?"
"Yes."
Li Yuefeng showed interest, "Tu Long will let them up the mountain?"
"Thereâs a strong person among them, he fought his way up. I gathered information, that person fought Tu Long head-on, and didnât fall behind!" Qu Mengju quickly said.
Li Yuefengâs composed expression disappeared, surprise showed on his face.
"Tu Longâs Tattoo Spirit Superpower, even I donât dare say Iâd definitely win against him, whatâs that personâs superpower?"
"Alright, come in, change your clothes, and tell me everything from the beginning to the end."
He brought Qu Mengju into the room, but she snorted, unwilling to enter, pointing at Qin Xiaoyan, she said, "You want me to share a room with her?"
Li Yuefeng was helpless, looking at Qin Xiaoyan, said, "Xiaoyan, go to the next room first."
Qin Xiaoyan glared angrily at Qu Mengju but still obediently turned and left in a huff.
Qu Mengju immediately showed a smug smile, then went into the room and began talking to Li Yuefeng about the new group.
"This group came from the water, not sure exactly where they came from. The leader is called Liang Yuan, the group numbers around a hundred, his followers include many superpower users."
"Our people saw that this Liang Yuanâs superpower is very formidable, not only having immense strength and extremely fast speed, but seemingly also possessing some spiritual attack ability."
Qu Mengju quickly relayed all the information she had gotten.
