Chapter 328
Although the road was submerged, the water level was high enough to cover all low-rise buildings.
As a result, the water surface appeared smooth and open, with only buildings over fifteen floors emerging above the water.
Typical buildings ranged from eighteen floors to thirty-two floors.
In new constructions, eighteen floors were considered high-rise.
Any higher, and fire ladders would struggle to reach, so regulations suggested not exceeding that height.
However, there was no such restriction in the past, and developers built as high as possible to maximize profits.
Without technical or policy limitations, thirty-two floors was not even the limit.
Three rafts cut through the waves, forging ahead.
Vast waters, torrential rain, fierce wind, misty vapor, no green in sight.
Only towering buildings standing above the water.
Liang Yuan took out his phone, checking surrounding buildings against the map to determine their direction.
Soon he felt helpless, losing the ground reference and without GPS positioning, he couldn’t tell where they were.
And the sky was shrouded with dense clouds, no sun, making it hard to discern direction.
Fortunately, by the buildings, he could roughly tell the balconies faced south, aiding their navigation towards Yangshan.
He put away the phone and advised, “Old Ma, keep an eye on the direction. If anything is uncertain, we’ll discuss it together p>
Ma Guocai nodded quickly, “Alright, this direction should be fine p>
Liang Yuan nodded, agreeing with Old Ma’s direction.
The raft continued forward, and in less than ten minutes, a shout came from the lower raft.
Liang Yuan looked down immediately, asking, “What’s going on p>
“Mr. Liang, someone has fainted p>
Liang Yuan frowned, asking, “Is it seasickness? Or some other reason p>
“Uh, not sure, he was fine just now, no signs of seasickness p>
Liang Yuan was about to go down to check but heard Tang Ying shout from the crowd, “Let me take a look, I studied medicine p>
Everyone quickly made way, allowing Tang Ying to come over.
Tang Ying reached out to check the fainted person’s heartbeat and looked at their pupil response.
After a moment, she said, “It’s normal fainting p>
Before she could finish speaking, suddenly another person nearby collapsed with a thud.
This immediately frightened everyone, their faces changing.
“Oh no, another person fainted p>
“Doctor, please come quickly p>
“What’s going on here p>
Everyone started exclaiming. Original content can be found at.net
Just then, not far away, another person fainted.
The cries grew louder.
Liang Yuan saw this and immediately sensed something was wrong.
Even if it was seasickness or physical discomfort, it shouldn’t cause multiple people to faint simultaneously.
He quickly looked up, scanned the second and third rafts, and swiftly asked Dong Yan, “Check if the other rafts have any incidents p>
Dong Yan quickly communicated with Ding Yan and Elder Lin.
After a moment, her expression changed slightly, saying hurriedly, “There are also people fainting on the second and third rafts p>
Liang Yuan’s face darkened, realizing there was definitely an issue.
He urgently scanned the water surface but saw no abnormalities underwater.
No signs of mutated creatures.
“Could they be too small? Not visible to the naked eye p>
Liang Yuan’s thoughts stirred, he immediately used his Spirit to sense the surroundings.
With this sensing, he immediately discovered abnormalities!
On the water surface were many small Spirit Force Fields.
He quickly followed the sensing direction and looked over.
There he saw insects resembling spiders sprawled on the water surface.
These insects, perched on the water, did not sink.
Not only that, they could swiftly move across the water.
Liang Yuan looked closely; these insects were silver-white, and if not looked at closely, it was hard to see them on the water.
Their claws were long, exceeding their body size by three to four times.
Liang Yuan’s Spirit swept through, his expression darkening.
In this region, there were quite a few silver-white spiders.
Because their color matched the water surface, they were hard to detect with the naked eye.
“Old Ma, change direction, let’s leave this area p>
He decisively ordered.
Old Ma quickly shouted to Cai Zhi.
Cai Zhi immediately began to change direction, urgently leaving this water area.
At the same time, Liang Yuan shouted, “Everyone, avoid touching the water. When retrieving debris, use plastic pipes or wood, don’t reach into the water, there are mutated spiders in there p>
Immediately, the patrol members became cautious, and attentive girls like Wen Lili and Huang Han quickly put on gloves before handling anything.
Liang Yuan monitored the water, sensing the spiders’ distribution, guiding the raft.
Gradually moving out of the spiders’ area, he breathed a sigh of relief.
“What’s the condition of the fainted people now?” Liang Yuan asked Tang Ying below.
Tang Ying quickly replied, “It’s hypoxic fainting; those spiders seemed to absorb oxygen from the human body p>
“Their breathing is stable now, they should wake up soon p>
Liang Yuan was surprised; the spiders’ attack method was to absorb human oxygen?
Not injecting toxins?
Liang Yuan found it strange; the world had evolved so much he barely recognized it.
Previous biological knowledge seemed inapplicable to these creatures now.
“Take care of those few people; fortunately, we discovered early p>
Tang Ying nodded, about to leave when Song Wen suddenly said, “Let me go down and check p>
Liang Yuan looked at her, “You p>
She held two pots of sunflowers, saying, “I can control plants, let them conduct photosynthesis quickly to produce enough oxygen, it might help p>
