Chapter 314: Chapter 154 Dong Yan’s Admiration_3
"After that, I never saw my mom again."
Liang Yuan couldn’t help but fall silent. He didn’t have to think much to know what Dong Yan’s parents had gone through.
Even when the great flood had just started, it wasn’t extremely fierce, but it certainly posed some danger.
Deep pits on the road, undercurrents stirred up by garages.
All could potentially sweep away pedestrians.
And as the chaos began, anyone with a large bag of food would become a target for others.
Liang Yuan sighed and said, "You’ve done really well. At least you’ve taken great care of Dong Jie, haven’t you?"
Dong Yan rubbed her eyes and said, "My dad was usually very busy. My mom was a full-time housewife, responsible for taking care of us siblings."
"Xiaojie used to be very naughty and would argue with me about everything. I remember during breakfast, he didn’t like eating eggs, but because my mom would always boil an egg for me every day, he felt mom was biased, so he would force himself to eat one too."
Liang Yuan was surprised and said, "Is that so? But I see that Xiaojie is very close to you now."
Dong Yan showed a gentle smile, one that was unusual for someone her age. "Yes, after our parents had their accident, he seemed to grow up all of a sudden. Now he knows to let me have the first bite."
"Last time when Brother Liang you sent us food with the drone, even though he was starving, he still held back his hunger and let me eat first." noveldrama
As she talked about it, Dong Yan felt both joy and heartache.
Liang Yuan saw in her the tenderness and maternal shine of a woman.
She was clearly still just an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl.
Ah, suffering really accelerates growth, making these girls, who were supposed to enjoy their youthful years, mature too early. NovelFire
Liang Yuan said, "After all, you two share the same blood. He must also know that you’re his only family in this world now."
Dong Yan nodded, "Yes, and he’s also my only family in this world." NovelFire
Speaking of family, Liang Yuan sighed inwardly.
He once thought that his ex-girlfriend would become his only family in this world.
Unfortunately, the large dowry demanded by her family crushed him, despite him depleting half his savings for a down payment.
That was when he realized, to him, his girlfriend might have been his only future family.
But to his girlfriend, she had many families. He wasn’t her only one.
Liang Yuan’s parents passed away early. He had been working and earning money since he was young and deeply cherished family relationships.
Unfortunately, until the apocalypse arrived, he never had the chance to have a family of his own.
Instead, after the apocalypse, the young woman next door, Yang Mei, gave him a warm feeling of home.
Both of them were immersed in their memories, not speaking, silently walking upstairs.
When they reached the rooftop, it was already completely dark.
The heavy rain was still pouring down. Dong Yan came back to her senses and quickly said, "Hey, Brother Liang, wait for me. I’ll get you a raincoat."
Liang Yuan smiled at her words and said, "No need to trouble yourself."
He extended his Spiritual Power, enveloping himself, as if covered by an invisible barrier.
The raindrops struck his telekinetic shield and were all blocked away.
Such a miraculous scene made Dong Yan’s eyes widen. "Brother Liang, is this... your ability?"
Liang Yuan smiled and said, "It’s just one application of my ability. Speaking of this, you are also an awakened spiritual user. Although your direction is Spiritual Link and Spiritual Communication, I think you can also try the Telekinesis path."
Dong Yan was surprised, "This... Can I really do it too?"
"With more practice, maybe you can. Or you can use your Spiritual Link to try directly controlling the thoughts of living creatures. I think that’s also a deep way to explore your abilities."
Liang Yuan smiled, thinking about that girl named Wang Ling’Er in Building 88.
How that girl managed to control mutant creatures, the principle behind it was unknown.
"Alright, it’s late. You should go back. I’m heading to Building 76 now."
Dong Yan pressed her lips together and said, "I’ll watch you leave."
Liang Yuan couldn’t help but look at Dong Yan, seeing her beautiful eyes staring intently at him.
His heart felt a touch of warmth. He smiled and said, "Just stay here, don’t step into the rain. If you catch a cold now, there’s no way to treat it."
Dong Yan responded with an ’um’, still reluctantly looking at him.
Liang Yuan made his way to the cableway, which had changed over time.
Initially, it was just one rope, but now Old Ma and Cai Zhi had turned it into three.
As long as one held the ropes on either side and stepped on the one beneath, even an ordinary person could cross the distance between two buildings.
Liang Yuan stood on the ropes, testing their strength, feeling quite satisfied.
He turned back and waved at Dong Yan.
She hurriedly jumped and waved goodbye.
Seeing her youthful vigor, Liang Yuan couldn’t help but smile. He quickly scaled the ropes towards Building 76.
Halfway across the cableway, he suddenly sensed something, turning his head to look towards Building 87 in the distance.
Building 87 was pitch black, but Liang Yuan seemed to feel someone watching him.
"Is it Leng Yuehua? Or that ’Sister Ya’?"
Liang Yuan wondered inwardly, then shook his head. He would leave tomorrow, and those people would no longer matter to him.
He quickly returned to Building 76.
The rooftop was deserted except for the guards keeping watch at each unit’s entrance to the rooftop.
Liang Yuan came to Unit 1, greeted the guard, then returned to 3201.
He found 3201 quiet, with a lot of fish piled up inside the room.
"Bro, you’re back! Look at these fish we caught. After you left this afternoon, we caught over three hundred, and over a hundred were sent by Daoist Lin’s group from across the building."
Yang Mei, busy in the kitchen, rushed to greet him as she heard the noise.
Liang Yuan took a look, seeing the fish he had gutted at noon were already cleaned up.
He smiled and said, "Thank you, Sister Mei."
Over three hundred fish would bring in at least 2500 Points.
"I’ll start cleaning the fish."
Liang Yuan kissed Sister Mei on her cheek, then quickly began handling the fish.
These mutant fish were resilient, not easily dying.
But they couldn’t be left overnight, or their Life Force, no matter how strong, wouldn’t last.
He unleashed several Spirit Shock skills, killing all the mutant fish at once.
They earned 2834 Points.
Yang Mei walked over and said, "I’ll take care of these fish."
Liang Yuan pulled her over and said, "No need. We’re leaving tomorrow. I’ll just store them in a Space. You should rest."
At his words, Yang Mei thought for a moment and said, "Alright. Anyway, we’ve dried a lot of fish recently, so we don’t need these. We can process them when we get to a safe place."
"By the way, I saved some food for you. Let me heat it up."
Liang Yuan pulled her into an embrace and said, "I want to eat you first."
"Ah——"
Yang Mei gasped as he carried her into the bathroom.
Their figures could be seen, indistinct on the blurred glass.
