Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food-Chapter 29: Increase in Constitution
Chapter 29: Chapter 29: Increase in Constitution
In a split second, Liang Yuan had made up his mind.
Rescue!
These people, though elderly and lacking combat power, are enemies of my enemies, which makes them friends.
Liu Erlong’s people have been tormenting these folks relentlessly.
If we save them, they will surely find ways to oppose Liu Erlong.
I don’t need their gratitude; as long as it brings trouble to Liu Erlong, it is enough.
He immediately knocked on the door and shouted, "Is anyone out there?"
When he spoke, the people outside were so scared that they didn’t dare to respond.
Liang Yuan shouted again, "Is anyone there?"
"If no one is here, I’ll leave."
A voice suddenly broke the silence, excitedly saying, "Yes, yes, we’re here! Help us, please, save us!"
Someone asked, "Young man, where is Zhou Jiaqiang?"
"Young man, please, open the door for us, the rain is too heavy, and we can’t stay dry under the eaves."
"Young man, we’ve already filled the buckets. Can you talk to Xiaozhou and let us in to shelter from the rain?"
Liang Yuan interrupted them, speaking through the door, "Zhou Jiaqiang is dead. He locked this door with a chain. Does anyone know where the key is?"
That statement made everyone outside fall silent again.
Immediately, someone exclaimed with joy, "That beast is dead?"
"Good riddance! Good riddance! Young man, is Liu Erlong dead too?"
"Young man, the key is on Zhou Jiaqiang. I saw him wearing it around his neck even while sleeping."
Liang Yuan said in a deep voice, "His body was thrown downstairs, and the key is probably gone too. Wait for me, I’ll go find some pliers."
"Thank you, thank you so much, young man! I’ll get down on my knees for you, sob..."
An excited old man outside was already kneeling and crying.
Liang Yuan turned and walked away, not heading home but searching Zhou Jiaqiang’s tent instead, where he found a steel rod.
With it, he easily broke the chain.
With a loud bang, the chain snapped and the iron door opened.
He quickly stepped back to keep a distance from the people outside.
Four or five elderly men squeezed in, their bodies drenched from the rain.
As they entered the hallway, rainwater blown by the howling wind swept inside.
Fortunately, it was summer, and the high temperature made the wind and rain hitting their bodies feel less cold.
Liang Yuan glanced at the elderly men, most of them over sixty, with one apparently in his seventies.
Each had grey hair, sparse hair, and varying degrees of baldness.
Liang Yuan sized them up, and they similarly sized him up.
Seeing him fully armed, wearing an electric bike helmet and holding a rod, they couldn’t help but show fear.
A relatively healthy-looking old man spoke, "Young man, what exactly happened?"
Liang Yuan looked at him and asked, "What’s your name?"
"Ah, my surname is Zheng, Zheng Guoqiang. Everyone calls me Old Zheng."
Liang Yuan nodded, "Old Zheng, Liu Erlong’s men have started sweeping the buildings floor by floor, forcibly taking people’s food and occupying homes, making many people angry."
"Today they provoked me in front of my house, and I killed a few of them. Be careful."
A few short sentences made the elderly men tremble with fear.
Zheng Guoqiang couldn’t help but say, "You... you killed someone?"
Liang Yuan said nothing, only stating, "You should quickly find a place to hide, don’t get caught by Liu Erlong again. I think he’ll come back. You can hide in another unit."
Saying this, he stopped paying attention to them and slowly retreated downstairs, always facing them.
The elderly men anxiously discussed among themselves, no one caring about Liang Yuan.
Liang Yuan went downstairs, picked up a box, took out a key, and opened his front door.
As soon as he entered, he heard an astonished voice from the kitchen, "Who is it?"
He saw the beautiful woman Yang Mei, terrified, holding a kitchen knife and standing at the kitchen door.
Liang Yuan closed the door behind him and said, "It’s me."
"Little brother!"
Yang Mei instantly felt both surprised and delighted, quickly coming forward.
Seeing Liang Yuan carrying a box, she hurried to help.
Liang Yuan said, "Everything’s settled over there. I brought back your clothes and frequently used cosmetics."
Yang Mei glanced at the storage box, full of clothes.
"Little brother still thinks of my clothes, which means I’m in his heart."
Yang Mei felt secretly happy and smiled, "Thank you, little brother. I was worried about having only one set of clothes in this heat, they’re starting to smell."
Liang Yuan raised an eyebrow, "What smell? Let me smell."
He stepped forward and hugged the beautiful woman tightly.
"Uh~"
Yang Mei was startled, instinctively writhing her waist and pressing her hands against his strong chest muscles.
Her whole body trembled, feeling a surge of intense sensation that made her tingle.
Liang Yuan lowered his head and kissed her red lips hard...
Moments later, Yang Mei struggled to breathe, almost collapsing in his arms.
"Little... little brother, not... don’t do this here, the stove is still on."
Yang Mei begged, her face flushed.
Liang Yuan let her go, smiled, and whispered in her ear, "Tonight."
Yang Mei’s face turned deep red, quickly getting up and saying in a fluster, "I’ll make the food first."
Watching her slim waist and curvy hips, Liang Yuan smiled expectantly.
In the living room, he began his daily training.
After completing five hundred push-ups, a system alert sounded suddenly.
"Ding, through prolonged physical training, your constitution has increased by 0.1."
Liang Yuan was slightly stunned and quickly checked the attribute panel.
Host: Liang Yuan
Constitution: 0.9
Power: 0.9
Agility: 0.8
Spirit: 0.7
Mutation Progress: 0%
Points: 5 points
Inventory: Lao Gan Ma, toilet paper, ten fillet steaks, thirteen instant noodles, 20 kg of rice...
The attribute panel showed a change in his constitution.
Originally at 0.8, now it had increased to 0.9!
Though happy, he felt somewhat excited.
"I can improve my constitution through self-training."
"But no matter how many push-ups I do, it seems I can’t increase my power. I need to do weighted training."
He glanced at the other data, noting no changes.
However, his points had reached 5, and his inventory was packed with items.
Besides the lottery items, there were many things he had stored from the real world.
Liang Yuan started practicing pull-ups next.
In the past, he could only do fifty before reaching his limit, but today, with his constitution improved by 0.1, his endurance seemed to have increased.
He managed sixty pull-ups in one go but still held on.
He kept going until around seventy, when his arm muscles, especially the forearms, reached exhaustion.
Unwillingly, he let go and jumped down, shaking his arms while muttering, "I must include weighted training."
"Little brother, the food is ready."
Yang Mei called out to Liang Yuan, inviting him to eat.
At the dining table, two bowls of fragrant rice were already served.
The dishes were abundant today: one meat and one vegetable.
The meat was braised chicken drumsticks, and the vegetable was scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
These simple dishes would have been ordinary before the great flood.
In fact, no one would buy those chicken drumsticks, as they were considered zombie meat.
People who cared about food quality wouldn’t touch them.
Scrambled eggs with tomatoes were a common, cheap dish in cafeterias.
However, these dishes were now luxuries that even the rich couldn’t obtain.
People outside struggled to get even chicken eggs, and hadn’t eaten tomatoes for nearly six months.
Liang Yuan reflected while eating, "Sister Mei, your cooking skills are impressive."
He picked a piece of chicken drumstick and gave it to Yang Mei.
Yang Mei, overwhelmed, said quickly, "I don’t eat meat, little brother. You exercise daily, so you consume more, you should eat it."
She hurriedly put the chicken drumstick back on Liang Yuan’s plate.
Liang Yuan chuckled and returned the drumstick to her, teasing, "You need energy for tonight’s work, you can’t manage without some meat." freewebnσvel.cѳm
"Ah?"
Yang Mei paused, then blushed deeply, bowing her head to eat quickly.
Her legs, clad in torn stockings under the table, pressed together unconsciously.
Liang Yuan laughed heartily, enjoying both the food and teasing the shy beauty—a truly delightful experience.
