Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food

Chapter 1658: Chapter 990: Zhuang Shuyuan Encounters the Avatar for the First Time

Liang Yuan wasn’t interested in Zhang Qiubing’s past.

But maybe because Liang Yuan was also from Dragon Country, Zhang Qiubing had a natural sense of closeness and trust toward Liang Yuan.

It felt like these things were something he could only pour out to Liang Yuan.

In this foreign environment, he had been living cautiously for so long, holding in a bellyful of secrets. Now that he’d found someone from his hometown, of course he couldn’t help but confide.

Of course, the premise was that the current Liang Yuan had shown absolute control.

The reason he was pouring his heart out wasn’t just to vent his inner misery.

There was another reason: through his own experience, he wanted to tell Liang Yuan that he, Zhang Qiubing, was not on the same side as these Japanese.

He, Zhang Qiubing, was someone Liang Yuan could trust.

He believed that as long as Liang Yuan wanted to take over this place, he would definitely put his fellow countryman to good use.

After all, everyone here was Japanese. If he didn’t use him, was he supposed to use those Japanese?

So right now he had to make his stance clear—he had an irreconcilable hatred with these Japanese bastards.

The underlying meaning was that Liang Yuan could trust him without worry.

Liang Yuan naturally understood this intention.

But he didn’t mind. He really was short on manpower right now, and mainly he didn’t speak Japanese, so he did need Zhang Qiubing.

“From now on, you’re with me. You’ll translate for me. Ask them if they’ve seen any other people from Dragon Country landing on this island recently, or whether they’ve noticed anything unusual in these waters.”

When Zhang Qiubing heard that, he was instantly overjoyed inside.

He knew he’d latched onto a big thigh.

He hurriedly said, “Alright, leave this to me, I’ll go talk to them.”

“Mm.”

Liang Yuan nodded, then sent Zhang Qiubing off to ask around.

Zhang Qiubing ran into the crowd and started chattering away in Japanese.

After those Japanese women listened, each one still had fear written all over her face.

Then they all began vying to speak to Zhang Qiubing.

Liang Yuan couldn’t understand, but from their emotions he could feel the terror.

In the crowd, there were quite a few Japanese women with pretty faces and decent figures, all secretly sneaking glances at Liang Yuan, their eyes flickering uncertainly.

As if they were plotting something.

These women were dressed quite well, so they were probably the ones living relatively comfortably in here.

And to live well in a Shelter like this, while looking this beautiful—needless to say, you knew what they were relying on to earn special treatment.

Liang Yuan wasn’t interested in any of that; he just wanted to quickly figure out where Ling Yurong and the others had gone.

Before long, Zhang Qiubing ran back over, a look of delight on his face. He said, “Mr. Liang, there’s news. Among this group of Japanese, someone saw a fleet, but it was very far away. They didn’t stop, just went straight east.”

Liang Yuan immediately asked, “What kind of fleet?”

Yangshan’s fleet had distinctive markings. If they really had seen it, they would definitely be able to describe what it looked like.

Zhang Qiubing quickly beckoned to a woman in the crowd, then rattled off a string of Japanese.

The woman’s expression changed slightly, and she lowered her head, stammering.

A moment later, Zhang Qiubing’s face turned dark.

He turned to look at Liang Yuan and said, “She says she didn’t really get a clear look at what the fleet looked like.”

Liang Yuan frowned. “What about the general color?”

The woman hesitated for a moment, then said a Japanese word meaning “blue.”

After Zhang Qiubing translated, Liang Yuan instantly understood—this woman was almost certainly talking nonsense.

He’d seen this kind of thing plenty of times; people in the Shelter, for the sake of survival, or to fish for a bit of benefit, would come forward to spill some fake intel.

Liang Yuan was speechless. “Forget it. My ship will stay here for a while. Zhang Qiubing, from now on this place is under your control. Keep an eye on all of them.”

“Yes, Mr. Liang.”

Zhang Qiubing was instantly overjoyed and nodded quickly.

Liang Yuan turned and walked back into the cabin. Zhuang Shuyuan had also recovered. She got dressed and asked, “What’s going on?”

“A bunch of survivors from Japan.”

Liang Yuan pointed outside and roughly explained the situation.
