After placing the supplies inside, Wu Qian turned to Liang Yuan, hesitant to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan immediately understood and said, \"Sister Wu, I know what you want to say. How about this: I’ll go to the next unit to look for Brother Cai.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Yan immediately responded, \"I’ll go with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan nodded slightly and then looked to Wu Qian, \"Do you have a photo of Brother Cai? I can ask around on the way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, yes, I’ll get a couple for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Qian hurried back to the master bedroom and soon emerged with two photos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both were solo pictures of Cai Zhi, probably taken during a summer vacation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cai Yao followed her mother out and looked at Liang Yuan, pleading, \"Brother Liang, please, you have to find my dad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan patted her head and smiled, \"Don’t worry, I’ll definitely bring him back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he called to Ding Yan and turned to walk towards the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Mei chased after him, calling out, \"Little bro!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan turned around to see her eyes slightly red. She said, \"You... be careful. I’ll be waiting for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan smiled, \"You stay with everyone in 3202. Wait for me to come back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan left the apartment with Ding Yan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Yan remained silent as she walked beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, she spoke up, \"Do you like Yang Mei a lot?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He checked his watch; it was already past eleven at night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He replied, \"Sister Mei’s got the looks and the figure, which man wouldn’t like her?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know, if it was before the apocalypse, a woman like her would only appear in short videos for me; in real life, she wouldn’t even look at me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But now, things have changed. In this environment, women like her are more vulnerable. Initially, I never thought I’d ever be with a woman like her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But as the disaster worsened, people lost their moral compasses. Sometimes, a loaf of bread or a pack of instant noodles could get you a woman.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister Mei is a smart woman. She knows how to survive in this environment and what kind of person to rely on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Someone like Liu Erlong, with no principles, she wouldn’t choose.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for me, her neighbor with surplus food and a known character, it makes perfect sense that she would turn to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was stuck at home for half a year with no one to talk to, so I needed her too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, in a utilitarian sense, we’re each getting what we need.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Yan listened, a sparkle appearing in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Liang Yuan continued, \"People have emotions. Maybe we started off using each other, but as time went on and we faced challenges together, feelings developed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She’s becoming more dependent on me, trusting me more each day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And my trust in her grows with time too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, do I like her? Of course, I do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Yan looked at him, pursing her lips, and quietly said, \"She’s really lucky.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan raised an eyebrow, \"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Yan shook her head, \"Nothing. I just meant that she really seems wholly devoted to you now. A minute without seeing you makes her anxious and scared.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan smiled, slightly surprised by Yang Mei’s dependence on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps traditional women like Yang Mei devote themselves entirely to a man once they give their bodies to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a woman he would certainly cherish and never betray.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about you? Did you have a boyfriend before the great flood?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan asked casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Yan was momentarily taken aback by the question, her expression changing slightly before she nodded and said, \"I had one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan asked curiously, \"Was he a teacher too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Yan shook her head, \"No, he was a civil servant.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan chuckled, \"A university teacher and a civil servant, that’s quite the perfect match. They say people in the system only look for others in the system, and it’s true.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Yan smiled wryly, \"It was like that at the time. I went on numerous blind dates, mostly with people in the system. Even the small number outside the system often had parents who were part of it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s how society works. Everyone tries to consolidate their strength. You’re not unique in this. If you had married, a few generations later, you might have a family of officials.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan smiled with nostalgia, \"Someone like me, just a worker before the great flood, would likely find a partner similar to a worker, and our children would probably have the same fate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Generation after generation, without special opportunities, would likely be just laborers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, actually, my kids might not even want to get married, and I wouldn’t have grandchildren, haha.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan suddenly laughed, and Ding Yan couldn’t help but smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said abruptly, \"You seem to fit well in this environment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the apocalypse, all orders collapse, and everyone starts on equal footing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Some can stir storms, others become victims.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In peaceful times, someone like you wouldn’t have had a chance, but now you’re thriving.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan smiled, \"Really? But you see, I’ve been fighting too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Yan sighed, \"In peaceful times, fighting would have been futile.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan paused, then nodded, \"You’re right. With that logic, I should be grateful for the great flood?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Yan smiled and shook her head, \"Better to be a peaceful dog than a chaotic human.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan sighed, \"You’re right. If possible, I’d rather be that peaceful dog.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although working hard for a meager salary, carrying a mountain of a mortgage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But at least everyone would still be alive, and life would have beauty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now, everyone has gone mad. People kill for food with no moral boundaries, some even living in utter humiliation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Yan stared at him, her eyes shining with a curious light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a beneficiary of the apocalypse, Liang Yuan now had women he couldn’t touch before the end times within reach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The unresolved mortgages were no longer a concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Yan had thought he would enjoy this new life, but she didn’t expect these words from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her admiration for him increased. She pondered and said, \"I used to scroll through short videos about wars abroad and always saw countless comments wishing for a third world war.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Or hoping we’d immediately go to war with Neon, Taiwan, or the Lighthouse countries, fearing nothing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As if they’d benefit from the chaos.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They don’t realize that in such scenarios, the ones who suffer first are the ordinary people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The truly rich and powerful wouldn’t be affected.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How does that saying go? Rise, the commoners suffer. Fall, the commoners suffer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1217,"2026-05-29T17:51:39.873Z","2026-06-01T04:29:53.098Z",1,"novelbin.me","87b73a10222ead573840ab0c3ac96e07dcaa6f21f58a8357c9158addb4042bb5","apocalyptic-flood-sexy-beauty-neighbor-s-midnigh-chapter-66","apocalyptic-flood-sexy-beauty-neighbor-s-midnigh-chapter-64",1292,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fapocalyptic-flood-sexy-beauty-neighbor-s-midnigh-cover.jpg"]
