Chapter 1375 - 708: Carey Company, Yang Mei Gives Birth
The Inspection Department acted quickly, and the results of the interrogation were out by the afternoon.
With a mind reading expert like Zhuang Shuyuan, no one can hide secrets in front of her.
At the Leader’s Mansion, Zhuang Shuyuan donned a luxurious cheongsam, her skin as fair as snow, with her hair styled into a bun and a gold hairpin inserted at an angle.
A golden headpiece hung from her forehead, making her appear in a more ancient style.
The headpiece isn’t merely decorative; it’s inscribed with spiritual runes to defend against external spiritual attacks.
Of course, more importantly, this headpiece was given to her by Liang Yuan, so she cherished it and frequently wore it.
At the moment, displaying various charms, she handed over a stack of documents, saying, "It’s all been interrogated out."
"These people are from a force called Carey Technology Company, which before the apocalypse was a multinational technology enterprise mainly engaged in artificial intelligence, biomedicine, photovoltaics and optoelectronics, internet and other fields."
"It’s said they also dealt in arms-related business overseas. Their operations are extensive, but due to our national circumstances, their arms business likely hasn’t expanded here, although they undoubtedly have the technology."
Liang Yuan read the documents while listening to Zhuang Shuyuan’s introduction.
"Where is this company located?"
"In Yu Province, Mount Jiuhua, the terrain there is high, and before the great flood arrived, they had ample preparations, including dedicated laboratories and factories."
"Currently, the company has fully transitioned to military management. According to those people, most of the senior personnel are foreigners."
Liang Yuan raised an eyebrow: "A multinational foreign enterprise?"
"Yes."
Liang Yuan asked, "Who is their leader?"
"A Caucasian named James."
"A Caucasian? Does he have any superpowers?" Liang Yuan inquired.
"These individuals are unclear, only knowing that this Caucasian is strong, but where his strength lies, no one knows."
Liang Yuan nodded slightly; this was not surprising.
Just like the people of Yangshan, they know their leader is formidable, but very few know exactly what methods he possesses.
The lower a person is on the social ladder, the less they know.
"Did they build this spacecraft themselves?"
"Indeed, but I read an interesting piece of intelligence from their minds: this spaceship is not entirely original, but rather it has a prototype."
"A prototype?"
Liang Yuan was stunned, not understanding for a moment the meaning.
Zhuang Shuyuan said, "Based on what I extracted from their minds, this flying saucer-type vehicle was first discovered as wreckage inside a Floating Island, then excavated and developed into a new generation of flying saucers."
"The superpower runes on it have a distinct form, different from modern superpower runes, precisely because of this reason."
Upon hearing this, Liang Yuan raised an eyebrow, revealing a momentary realization.
"No wonder I sensed something strange; those wedge-shaped runes are unlike any superpower runes we’ve discovered — they’re not even from the same era."
Suddenly, Liang Yuan’s mind raced. If modern people struggle to grasp the meaning of these runes, might Jinpeng, as a Superpower User from the Ancient Era, perhaps know something?
With this thought, Liang Yuan immediately said, "Later, have the Research Department stamp all the wedge-shaped runes, study them one by one, and provide me a copy."
"Alright."
"By the way, what is the relationship between the Carey Technology Company and Mengya Company?"
Zhuang Shuyuan said, "I was about to report. Mengya Company and this Carey Company are both forces within the shelter range in Yu Province, having had intense conflicts and clashes."
"But it seems neither side could deal with the other effectively; later on, the leaders of the respective companies negotiated and decided to cease hostilities, maintaining a non-interference stance."
"However, with the emergence of the Celestial Abyss Passage and Abyss Island, both needed to face the threat of Celestial Abyss creatures, which prompted them to ally once again."
"Although they are formally allied, they’ve been secretly competing with each other."
"It was not until they found ways to reach above the Thundercloud that, faced with the horrific mutant beast groups from the Celestial Abyss, they decided to truly seek cooperation for development, striving to establish their footing in the sky and build cities."
After listening, Liang Yuan nodded slightly. This development was unexpected, yet also rational.
Only with the emergence of a stronger threat would these originally opposing forces sit down in peace talks for cooperation.
It appears the situation above the Celestial Abyss is indeed grim.
Even though these two have more advanced rune technology than Yangshan and Guangfu Military, they can only barely stand firm by banding together for warmth.
It shows how dominant the mutant beasts in the sky are.
"Are there many forces breaking through the Thundercloud to enter the sky?" Liang Yuan asked.
Zhuang Shuyuan said, "In Yu Province, there seem to be only these two, but recently, as Carey Company’s saucer ventured into the clouds and traveled to other Floating Islands, they gradually discovered some floating islands with cities built by humans."
"As they head further northwest, the mutant beasts seem to become scarce; they suspect that northwestward lies a human-established base that repelled these mutant beasts."
"These mutant beasts are now being forced to move towards our low-altitude regions."
Upon hearing this, Liang Yuan’s expression grew more somber.
"This conjecture isn’t impossible."
Zhuang Shuyuan nodded in agreement, "I think so too. If there are more survivor forces in high-altitude regions, given our country’s heritage, these major forces in those regions will rapidly adapt and transform, fitting in with the Flood World."
"Of course, whether they’re the same group of former rulers is uncertain."
"They might not have time to care about the fate of those in lower-altitude regions, but using this time to develop superpower technology and establish a domain locally, I think it’s still possible."
Zhuang Shuyuan analyzed, "Especially don’t forget, northwest still has Huaxia’s Northern and Western Theater Commands among its five major military districts."
"If they go all out, they should quickly adapt to the Flood World."
Liang Yuan nodded slightly. Huaxia’s foundation is deep; even in a flood apocalypse, as long as it isn’t instant death, they’ll react accordingly.
Unfortunately, the eastern and southern regions likely lacked sufficient reaction time.
Probably, they have already been abandoned.
With the intelligence revealed by Zhuang Shuyuan, Liang Yuan gradually had an overview of the national situation in his mind.
The high-altitude areas in the northwest have not been inundated by floods yet, they have sufficient reaction time and have begun to develop rune technology, collect superpower materials, and quickly enhance combat power.
These places have even started exploring the truth of the flood world.
They broke through the clouds and even established cities on the floating islands above the clouds, expelling the powerful mutant beasts in the sky.
These mutant beasts have nowhere to go and will fly towards the low-altitude southeast regions.
So this would cause the southeast area to become increasingly dangerous!
"By the way, can the floating islands move?"
Liang Yuan suddenly asked.
Zhuang Shuyuan was taken aback, then shook her head slightly, "It’s difficult to move unless there is strong propulsion."
"Otherwise, the position of the average floating island should be relatively fixed, even if it moves, it would be extremely slight and slow."
"If they could move quickly, Mengya Company and Carey Company would have moved long ago to the northwest."
Liang Yuan said, "The floating islands cannot move, then after occupying them, without sufficient strength to guard, they can only become living targets, subject to the attacks of mutant beasts."
He shook his head slightly, "Since floating islands can float, there must be a way to move, it’s merely a problem of the propulsion system."
He thought of the movie "The Wandering Earth" before the apocalypse.
If Earth can move, why can’t a mere floating island?"
"Were the spaceship’s codes and operational issues interrogated yet?"
"Uh, this hasn’t been done yet." Zhuang Shuyuan shook her head.
Liang Yuan said, "Interrogate them quickly, and provide the relevant information to the research department, let the personnel in the research department deconstruct the UFO."
"By the way, inquire whether this UFO has a positioning device as well."
Zhuang Shuyuan’s beautiful eyes flickered, then she suddenly chuckled, "Do you have any reward for me?"
Liang Yuan looked up and glanced at her, seeing her apricot eyes and beautiful eyes filled with affection, he immediately understood, she wanted an injection.
"Humph, not treating you for a few days, and you want to be unruly."
He reached out and patted Zhuang Shuyuan on her plump buttocks.
Immediately, Zhuang Shuyuan exclaimed and her hips waved, her body shivered, her face reddening.
In the next moment, she was directly taken into the Sumeru space by Liang Yuan.
Following this, time reverted to the previous pace.
Liang Yuan stayed with Yang Mei, using the spiritual power gene warning device to rapidly advance the gene recombination progress.
Meanwhile, the research department was the busiest.
The current research department had too many projects, not only the spaceship project, but also the research of wedge runes, the purification of metal attribute blood crystals, and the training of a large number of pilots.
In the future, these pilots would need to conduct high-altitude combat in preparation for entering the Celestial Abyss World.
Liang Yuan also received the first batch of genetic species purified from metal attribute blood crystals.
Without saying a word, he started to condense his own metal attribute genetic species.
Once this genetic species is condensed, he would have gathered four-fifths of the five-element attribute genetic species, only short of the wood attribute genetic species.
Of course, he had already begun gathering the wood attribute genetic species.
Currently, he was extracting the essence blood of wood attribute mutant beasts every day, estimating that it wouldn’t take long to collect all the five-element attribute genetic species.
At that time, his strength would certainly increase significantly.
As time flew by, in the blink of an eye, a month passed.
On this day, Liang Yuan just emerged from the Spirit Gathering Tower, with the gene recombination progress finally breaking through to 30% under his continuous effort!
And he successfully condensed the metal attribute genetic species.
Just when he was about to examine the capabilities and talents brought by the genetic species.
Lin Ya sent someone to notify him that Yang Mei was going to give birth!
Liang Yuan immediately, without a word, rushed home quickly.
At this moment at home, not only Liang Yuan, Tang Ying, Yang Shenmin, Jiang Ziyin, and other medical experts were present.
Dong Yan, Ding Yan, Song Wen, Granny Li, they all arrived at the first moment too.
From the room came Yang Mei’s screams, and Tang Ying, who graduated in nursing, encouraging her.
Liang Yuan’s heart pounded, it had been a long time since he felt this kind of tension.
He walked to the door, ignoring greetings from others, and asked Yang Shenmin, "How is the situation?"
Yang Shenmin comforted, "There should be no issue, the baby is fine, spiritual power B ultrasound has been conducted, everything is safe."
"Almost half an hour has passed, probably won’t take long for the baby to come out."
On the side, Jiang Ziyin also opened her mouth to reassure, "The constitution of the superpower user is much stronger than that of ordinary people, Mr. Liang, you don’t need to worry too much, Miss Yang Mei is going to be fine."
Wang Ling’Er and others also spoke to comfort him.
Song Wen actively walked to his side, holding his hand, tenderly reassuring him.
Ding Yan sat on the sofa, appearing calm, but couldn’t help looking towards the bedroom every few seconds, showing her inner tension and concern.
Approximately less than ten minutes later, Tang Ying’s voice suddenly came from inside.
"Here it comes, here it comes!"
"Wah, wah——"
With the loud cry of a baby ringing out, everyone instantly showed joy!
