I haven’t seen any Merfolk Superpower User with this skill.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Superpower Users of the Merfolk type, their evolutionary direction is somewhat similar to Strength-type Superpower Users; their physical constitution is very strong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We Merfolk Superpower Users lean a bit towards Spirit Ability Users. In the later stages, the application of superpower energy becomes more complex and varied.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In general, the evolution direction of Merfolk is a bit wild and rough, making them seem clumsy, haha.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Xiaoyu laughed out loud herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan was also infected by her cute laughter and laughed, \"Do you also have an internal disdain hierarchy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh, no, I’m just joking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You haven’t said what your situation is yet. Are you considered a Merfolk Superpower User or a Merfolk type?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan smiled and said, \"That’s a secret, I can’t tell.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tch, who cares.\" Ji Xiaoyu made a scoffing sound, then sped up to swim ahead, trying to shake off Liang Yuan and wear him out, giving him a little show of strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, no matter how she sped up, Liang Yuan could easily keep up with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After swimming some distance, Ji Xiaoyu herself was exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her main attribute was only in the low thirties after all, which was nothing compared to Liang Yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her speed start to drop, Ji Xiaoyu suddenly saw an underwater building ahead, and her eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’re here, we can stop now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She quickly stopped and shouted to Liang Yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she tried to keep a calm demeanor, the intense exercise made her heart pound wildly, causing her to produce noticeably more bubbles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan didn’t expose her, just smiled and looked at the building ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before them lay a massive shopping mall submerged underwater; the road had long been covered in silt, and the streetlights were rusted through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The underwater building was gloomy, with broken windows resembling snarling mouths, sharp glass shards lingering on the sills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long corridors stretched out like deep-set eyes staring at you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The underwater environment felt dark and eerie, always giving off a sense of creepiness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, that large shopping mall ahead looked distinctly different from the buildings in other places.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A vast mass of dense seaweed surrounded the mall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seaweed didn’t seem wild, appearing to have been deliberately planted extensively by someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seaweed’s height was towering, reaching seven or eight stories tall, covering most of the massive mall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The density of the seaweed was impressive, from a distance it looked like rolling waves of wheat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, the mall’s rooftop was covered by a high layer of coral.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At a casual glance, you wouldn’t even notice it was a huge shopping mall below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan asked, \"Were these seaweeds planted by you guys?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Xiaoyu nodded, \"Yeah, there’s a lot of mutant creatures underwater, including quite a few Genetic Species level mutation beasts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These seaweeds not only serve as a barrier to block larger Genetic Species mutants, but also provide cover.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How do they serve as a barrier?\" Liang Yuan curiously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Xiaoyu said, \"The seaweeds are extremely dense and incredibly resilient; if you swim into them, you can easily get entangled.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once you’re ensnared by these seaweeds, the more you struggle, the deeper you get wrapped in, eventually being completely trapped inside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, this is aimed at the larger mutant creatures. If smaller ones enter, it’s like humans entering a forest; come on, let me take you in to experience it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Ji Xiaoyu swam towards the seaweed forest, with Liang Yuan closely following, swiftly diving into the seaweed forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, it truly felt like diving into a dense enormous forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everywhere you looked was filled with giant seaweeds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seaweeds were dark green, sticky on the surface, swaying gently with the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan gently pushed aside a seaweed, feeling its slippery texture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pinched it hard, and indeed, as Ji Xiaoyu said, it was incredibly tough; he exerted a lot of force to finally break it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These seaweeds are edible; we plant them as food,\" Ji Xiaoyu said, picking a tender leaf from a slightly shorter seaweed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you want to eat it, make sure to choose these tender tips, have a taste,\" she said, handing a tender seaweed sprout to Liang Yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan took it and put it in his mouth, his teeth gently breaking the seaweed sprout, instantly bringing a texture reminiscent of kelp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chewing the seaweed felt like gnawing on leather, with no extra flavor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan frowned, \"Is this what you eat?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Xiaoyu giggled cheerfully, \"How does it taste?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not much flavor,\" Liang Yuan replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Xiaoyu laughed, \"Now you know why I still want to live on land, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe, our generation is still accustomed to land vegetables. Even though we’ve awakened superpowers and adapted to underwater living, our eating habits haven’t changed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eating raw mutant fish and these algae plants is something we do only when there’s no other choice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If we could have fried chicken, roast duck, and fragrant hotpot, who would want to eat this stuff?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of which, Ji Xiaoyu felt a bit dispirited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t even mention fried chicken or roast duck; even on land, those aren’t possible anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After the great flood, our material living conditions as humans have really plummeted.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan also sighed, indeed, after the apocalyptic flood, humans struggle even to survive, so as long as the material conditions allow them to be well-fed, what more can one ask for?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two talked as they swam forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, in the seaweed forest, a face emerged from behind a broad seaweed leaf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiao Yu?! Why... why have you brought outsiders in here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This face belonged to a woman in her thirties, with blue scales adorning her forehead and arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her legs similarly had fish tails covered with superpower energy membranes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was a Merfolk-type Superpower User.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Xiaoyu saw her and immediately smiled, saying, \"Sister Yue! It’s you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then pulled Liang Yuan over and said, \"Sister Yue, he’s also a Merfolk-type Superpower User, and he’s really powerful. He wiped out Wu Yaobang’s Eden, and now Little Straw Mountain is his.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guan Yue was shocked, looking Liang Yuan up and down, seeing the Merfolk-type Superpower User traits on him, she couldn’t help but feel more amicable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet she was still in disbelief: \"Really? The Angel Corps of Eden isn’t easy to deal with—they have quite a few Genetic Species-level experts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not waiting for Liang Yuan to explain, Ji Xiaoyu excitedly said, \"Of course it’s true, you haven’t seen Mr. Liang’s prowess.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you know why that Wu Yaobang had so many Genetic Species underlings?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, you’d never guess—even if you tried—his superpower wasn’t immortality, but duplication!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We were all deceived before; he used his superpower to impersonate an immortal being and tricked us all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Those silly people on shore believed his lies and joined his Eden, and now they’re all dumbfounded.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Xiaoyu revealed a series of shocking information that left Guan Yue stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mind couldn’t process it for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? Wu Yaobang is dead? That’s... impossible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"His ability wasn’t immortality? It was duplication?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s going on, what exactly happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guan Yue quickly inquired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Xiaoyu briefly narrated the events that occurred at Little Straw Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guan Yue, after hearing this, still found it unbelievable and turned her head to look at Liang Yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was hard to imagine that such powerful Merfolk-type Superpower Users existed among them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan did not speak throughout, only nodding and smiling along with Ji Xiaoyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having reached his level of strength, he naturally had Xiao Yu helping to defend him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan smiled and said, \"Sister Yue, right? Can I visit your shelter?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiao Yu made a deal with me, don’t worry, I won’t disrupt your lives.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What deal?\" Guan Yue immediately became alert and quickly looked at Ji Xiaoyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Xiaoyu whispered a few words in her ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guan Yue’s expression relaxed a bit, she hesitated, and said, \"Xiao Yu is not sensible, Mr. Liang, I better tell you first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Genetic Mutation Beast she mentioned is extraordinary, very powerful; even our Genetic Species expert alliance couldn’t kill it in the past.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister Yue! I’m not lying, he only asked for the whereabouts of a Physical Class Genetic Mutation Beast, didn’t specify its strength.\" Ji Xiaoyu quickly shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, she turned to Liang Yuan and asked, \"Mr. Liang, you’re so powerful; you won’t go back on your word, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed, the Sword-tailed Sea Snake is a Physical Mutation Beast; I’m not lying.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But it’s too formidable; if you can’t kill it, you can’t blame me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan, upon hearing this, curiously asked, \"Sword-tailed Sea Snake? Can you tell me details about this Mutant Beast?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Xiaoyu excitedly asked, \"Does our deal still count?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan smiled: \"Regarding the deal, first let me visit your shelter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Honestly, if your numbers aren’t large, giving half of Little Straw Mountain’s territory to you—isn’t that too much?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little Straw Mountain is not high or large overall; I still need to arrange personnel to station here and build a shelter later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dividing half for you isn’t quite realistic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Xiaoyu immediately asked: \"Then how much area can you allocate for us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan smiled and said, \"First tell me how many people you have?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Xiaoyu reluctantly had to look at Guan Yue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guan Yue said: \"Mr. Liang is a guest, let’s first have him come to our place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, she took the initiative to lead the way, inviting Liang Yuan to follow her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan nodded with a smile, following her deeper into the seaweed forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the road, Liang Yuan asked: \"What was Sister Yue doing in the seaweed forest just now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just call me Guan Yue, Mr. Liang; Sister Yue is what Xiao Yu, the kids, call me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The only food we have is the fish, shrimp, and these seaweeds; things on shore were previously under Wu Yaobang’s watch, we didn’t dare go onshore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan, upon hearing this, immediately understood that their food supplies must be tight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the last seaweed was brushed aside, what appeared in front became clear—revealing a large shopping mall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A network of ropes surrounded the mall, secured around the building to prevent Mutant Fish from breaching the seaweed forest and infiltrating the mall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And inside the mall, it wasn’t dark, with many green and yellow lights shining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many Merfolk-type Superpower Users and Merfolk Ability Users could be seen swimming within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seen from afar, it looked just like a mall operating underwater.\u003C\u002Fp>",1773,"2026-05-29T17:52:09.927Z","2026-06-01T04:29:53.098Z",1,"novelbin.me","8c75d4fb175b59095ac71ac7e966397b6872bd38e6979e895bd17b9a98169514","apocalyptic-flood-sexy-beauty-neighbor-s-midnigh-chapter-1174","apocalyptic-flood-sexy-beauty-neighbor-s-midnigh-chapter-1172",1292,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fapocalyptic-flood-sexy-beauty-neighbor-s-midnigh-cover.jpg"]
