Chapter 384
“But even if we find it, we’re not going to get there anytime soon. Guangfu is not close to us; it’s across an entire district p>
Ding Yan’s excitement gradually subsided, and she nodded, saying, “You’re right, Guangfu is too far from here p>
“Even with a boat, getting to Guangfu means crossing districts, and there are more and more mutant creatures in the water. It’s really dangerous p>
Liang Yuan nodded, “Let’s gather information first, see if we can contact the outside world, and then make plans. The urgent task now is to go to Yangshan and find a place to settle p>
Ding Yan nodded immediately, “I just told those women to keep this a secret to avoid causing panic p>
Liang Yuan hummed, “You did the right thing, keep this information locked down for now p>
As they were talking, Dong Jie had already turned the dial knob on the radio a few times, but apart from static, there was no useful signal.
“Brother Yuan, I didn’t pick up any signals p>
Liang Yuan frowned, thought for a moment, and said, “It seems like Wang Fang’s Radiation superpower is indeed working. With an ordinary radio, we can’t pick up any so-called military signals here p>
“What should we do then?” Ding Yan couldn’t help but ask.
Liang Yuan shook his head, “There’s nothing we can do for now. I guess it has something to do with the weather. When we get to the mountain, we can try again at the top to see if we can pick up a signal p>
“That’s all we can do p>
Everyone’s anxious and excited mood cooled down, and their emotions stabilized.
Liang Yuan chatted with a few others for a bit, then left the radio with Dong Jie.
He instructed him to keep trying in his free time, hoping for unexpected results.
After finishing their conversation, Liang Yuan got up and left.
“I’ll take a look downstairs while everyone is resting p>
He went all the way down from the 26th floor to the area submerged by the floodwaters.
This was the floor where he and Gu Feng had climbed up from, and now the water level had risen a bit more.
This time, Liang Yuan took the fire stairs, walking straight into the water.
Once he entered the water, he immediately activated his superpower.
Warmth surged from his heart to behind his ears, where gills had evolved for underwater breathing.
After a moment of adjustment, Liang Yuan spread out his spiritual power while his eyes evolved protective membranes.
The deeper he went, the darker it became underwater.
Floating debris drifted in the water everywhere, while denser objects settled on the corridors.
Most items soaked in water were no longer usable.
Only some vacuum-packed or well-sealed items made it into Liang Yuan’s inventory.
The next few floors were mostly regular clothing stores, with quite a lot of shells, crabs, and small mutant fish wandering around.
As for clothing, as long as it hadn’t been soaked for too long, it could still be worn.
These floors had only been submerged in the past few days, so the clothes were still in decent condition.
Liang Yuan put everything into his inventory.
However, the clothes in the lower floors’ stores were already faded, indicating they had been soaked for too long.
These clothes could still be worn but lacked the appeal of new ones.
Liang Yuan still took them all, not being picky.
Until industrial production is restored, materials for clothing will be scarce and could be valuable.
As he went further down, he felt the change in water pressure. Liang Yuan activated his superpower, adjusting the pressure in his internal organs to adapt to underwater survival.
“Huh, this level is the cosmetics department p>
Seeing the abundance of cosmetics around him, Liang Yuan couldn’t help but laugh.
In a survival situation, no one pays attention to these things.
But once basic needs are met, clothes and cosmetics will definitely become valuable.
Especially for women, in a world ruled by superpowers, strength is paramount.
If women don’t awaken superpowers, it’s likely they would be reduced to using their appearance for favor.
Makeup and beautiful clothes would then become highly sought after.
Liang Yuan quickly entered a store called Dior. Honestly, he knew nothing about cosmetic brands.
Many brands were in English, which he couldn’t differentiate.
And as an office worker, his money went to mortgage payments, so he had little familiarity with such things.
Even when his girlfriend asked for cosmetics, he just transferred the money.
So he really didn’t understand cosmetics.
But it didn’t matter, the high-end cosmetics he couldn’t afford before were now at his disposal.
Display counters were filled with various perfumes, lipsticks, and lotions, all casually packed into his inventory.
Besides this store, there were others like Burberry and YSL.
He looted them all, taking every sealed cosmetic product.
Looting this floor took nearly half an hour.
Most of the time was spent packing.
“I used to think shopping was tiring, but it’s still tiring even when it’s free p>
Liang Yuan sighed, composed himself, and continued downstairs.
This floor turned out to be full of jewelry shops!
Brands like Chow Tai Fook and Lao Feng Xiang crowded the floor, with myriad gold ornaments soaking in the water, ignored by all.
Liang Yuan’s exhaustion instantly vanished. This content belongs to.net
Men seemed to have an innate fondness for gold.
He began looting again, filling his inventory with large amounts of gold.
As the saying goes, in chaotic times, gold prevails, and in prosperous times, antiques do.
