Chapter 464: Looking for Jiang Ziyan

The speedboat is extremely fast, many times faster than the Flamingo.

It only took Liang Yuan and others half a day to cross the vast waters and arrive in the urban area.

However, the situation in the urban area was somewhat beyond Liang Yuan’s expectations.

At this moment, the speedboat was parked on the water. The water in front was endless and no buildings could be seen at all.

Tu Long took out the map, compared it repeatedly, and asked in confusion: “Mr. Liang, is this really the city? Why is there nothing here?”

Bai Zhilei also stretched her head to look at the map, but she was a person with poor directions and obviously couldn’t understand it.

Liang Yuan also looked at the map and said in a deep voice: “The building we just passed by had the word Tianhong on it. It should be the Tianhong Shopping Mall in the map.”

“And the hotel we encountered earlier is the Ramada Hotel, which I have stayed at before.”

“Judging from these traces, this place should be near the city.”

“But there is nothing here.” Tu Long couldn’t help but point to the endless water in front of him.

There were a lot of plastics, tables, chairs, benches and other things floating on the water.

But there was not a single building to be seen.

Liang Yuan said in a deep voice: “It’s normal. Linjiang City has always been known as an ancient city. The municipal government planned it early and has always worked hard to maintain the style of the ancient city. The construction of high-rise residential buildings has never been allowed in the city center.”

“This place has probably been submerged by floods.”

“But I still need to go down and confirm. You wait here for me.”

After Liang Yuan finished speaking, he jumped into the water.

Speculations are just speculations, but he still has to go down and take a look in person to confirm whether this is the city center.

As Liang Yuan dived quickly, buildings submerged by floods gradually appeared in front of him deep under the water.

Liang Yuan did not swim directly underwater, but instead went near an overpass.

He glanced at the sign on the overpass and saw words like “West Ring Road” on it.

He immediately realized that he was indeed at the edge of the city center.

The map of Linjiang City is easy to identify. With the city center of Linjiang City as the origin, there are four elevated roads in a criss-cross shape surrounding the ancient city center.

According to direction, these four elevated roads are divided into east, south, west and north loop lines.

Later, as Linjiang City had too large a population, the park was vigorously developed and became the economic center of Linjiang City.

So the city government added a central ring road that runs across the east and west and leads directly to the park.

Today, Liangyuan is located on Xihuan Road, west of the city center.

After recalling the location on the map, Liang Yuan roughly figured out his location.

He glanced around the once bustling main urban area and the West Ring Elevated Road entrance that was always jammed with traffic every time he passed by.

It was quiet and deserted at the moment, but there were still many cars soaked in water on the viaduct.

Some cars were deformed and some were turned on their sides.

There were skeletons on the ground and some clothed skeletons in the car.

One can imagine what kind of tragic car accidents occurred on the elevated road when the flood came.

Liang Yuan glanced at the scenes and frowned slightly.

“Xinghai Garden Villa is an urban villa with only four floors in total. It is estimated that it has been submerged by the flood a long time ago. Where can I find Dr. Jiang Ziyan?”

He wasn’t sure whether the other person was alive or not, so coming out to look for him would be like a blind cat catching a dead mouse.

But now the entire urban area was submerged, and Liang Yuan suddenly felt that the probability of this person being alive was probably slim.

He returned to the speedboat, and Tu Long and Bai Zhilei both looked over.

“How is it, is it downtown?”

Liang Yuan nodded: “Yes, it’s near the Xihuan Road subway station.”

“Oh my god, is that true? Doesn’t that mean the entire city is flooded?” Tu Long couldn’t help but be shocked.

Bai Zhilei couldn’t help but ask: “Then those people in the city aren’t…”

She didn’t say anything else, but it was obvious that she had made a bad guess.

Liang Yuan shook his head and said, “Not necessarily. If they were really going to drown, they wouldn’t have stayed at home. Many of them must have fled outside.”

“Let’s go. Let’s start searching near Xinghai Garden Villa as planned.”

“Focus on searching tall buildings.”

“When you come across a gathering place for survivors, ask directly if there are any people from Xinghai Garden. If not, ask if there are any doctors.”

“it is good!”

The three of them quickly began to search around in the speedboat.

Xinghai Garden has a very good geographical location in the city.

However, the better the location, the higher the environmental requirements.

Xinghai Garden is a villa area with beautiful surroundings and shady trees. It is located in the bustling city center, yet it is quiet and classy.

However, after the great flood, this place was the first to be flooded.

Liang Yuan and his team drove along Xinghai Garden for more than ten kilometers before they discovered scattered buildings.

After entering these buildings, Liang Yuan and his two companions only found some survivors who had gone crazy, and some who had mutated into humanoid monsters.

In both cases, Liang Yuan directly helped them resolve their miserable lives.

Then he simply collected some usable supplies and left quickly to look for the next place.

After searching for two days, Liang Yuan finally got a useful clue in a gathering place of survivors in a high-rise building close to Xinghai Garden, more than ten kilometers away from the park!

Xinhong Yayuan, Building 87, Room 3201.

This is the highest floor of Xinhong Yayuan and was once the king of the building.

At this moment, a group of psychics were kneeling on the ground, trembling.

In front of them were Liang Yuan and his two companions.

Liang Yuan looked at this group of people and said in a deep voice: “Have you really taken in a group of people from Xinghai Garden Villa District?”

“Yes, it’s true. I swear, sir, the little star in my room was originally the owner of Xinhong Garden. She escaped here with the others.”

A middle-aged man on the ground who looked like the leader of the group spoke nervously, fearing that he would anger Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan was anxious to find someone, but he did not keep a low profile like he did when he went to Sunshine New City before.

When looking for people along the way, he would just go to their doors in a swaggering manner, find the boss among these people, and show his terrifying strength.

Generally speaking, after going through this process, the other party will immediately obey as long as they are not stubborn.

Liang Yuan immediately said: “Go and bring the person to me.”

The middle-aged man hurriedly got up and said, “I’ll go right away, right away.”

Liang Yuan glanced at Tu Long.

Tu Long understood immediately and shouted, “I’ll go with you. Damn it, if you dare to play tricks, I’ll crush your head.”

The middle-aged man’s face turned pale and he shook his head repeatedly: “I dare not, I dare not, you come here.” From beginning to end, Liang Yuan didn’t even bother to ask his name.

Soon Tu Long and the middle-aged man came back.

A thin woman also came back with them.

The woman was very beautiful, and fit the type of fair, thin girl that was popular before the Flood.

She has fair skin and beautiful facial features, and even though she’s not wearing any makeup, you can still see her beauty.

At this moment, the woman’s face was pale, her whole body was trembling, and she didn’t dare to raise her head.

“This gentleman, she, she escaped from the Xinghai Garden Villa District.”

“Come over here and meet someone.”

The middle-aged man turned around and scolded the woman.

The woman was so frightened that she immediately fell to her knees and kowtowed, saying, “Hello, sir, hello, madam.”

The middle-aged man looked at Liang Yuan with a shy face and a smile.

Liang Yuan couldn’t help but frown. It was obvious that this woman had been tamed here a long time ago.

When they meet someone and greet them, they actually kneel down.

He said in a deep voice: “Raise your head.”

The woman shuddered with fear, looked up at Liang Yuan, and forced a smile.

But her slightly red eyes revealed her inner fear.

Liang Yuan asked directly: “What’s your name?”

“Zhao Huiyao.” The woman said nervously.

Liang Yuan recalled and there was no such person in his mind. He guessed that he was really a small star and not very famous.

Tu Long at the side was curious: “Isn’t he a celebrity? Why haven’t I heard of him?”

Zhao Huiyao suddenly became embarrassed and said quickly: “Sir, I am just a third-tier celebrity, not very famous.”

Liang Yuan interrupted Tu Long’s questioning and asked, “Do you live in Xinghai Garden?”

“Yes, I lived there before.”

“Do you know Jiang Ziyan?”

Zhao Huiyao was stunned when she heard this, her eyes flickered slightly, and then she suddenly said: “Yes, I know her, Miss Jiang and I have a good relationship.”

When Liang Yuan heard this, he narrowed his eyes and suddenly asked, “Do you really know him?”

“Yes, I really know him.”

“Then describe Jiang Ziyan’s appearance, age, and work.”

“what?”

Zhao Huiyao was stunned for a moment and her face suddenly turned pale.

“Well… well, she was probably around 30… no, maybe in her 20s. I can’t remember clearly.”

“Women usually don’t tell their age. I can’t tell.”

Liang Yuan stared at her calmly, “Continue.”

“She’s very pretty, very good-looking. Um… I’m not sure what her job is. Although we meet often, we’re not close enough to ask about each other’s jobs.”

Zhao Huiyao spoke more and more fluently.

Liang Yuan suddenly interrupted: “Describe her appearance.”

“Ah, this… She is very pretty, with fair skin and beautiful eyes. I don’t know how to describe it, but she is very beautiful anyway.”

She tried hard to act as if she wanted to describe it, and seemed to be troubled by her limited vocabulary.

Liang Yuan sneered: “I asked you to describe it, but you don’t even have a specific description?”

“You lie to me, do you know what will happen?”

Zhao Huiyao’s face changed slightly, and she said in panic: “No, I didn’t lie, I really…”

Liang Yuan suddenly said in a cold voice: “Stupid, don’t you know that there are superpowers in this world now?”

“You said you didn’t lie, but you can hide it from someone who can read minds?”

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhao Huiyao’s face turned pale and her whole body began to tremble.

She suddenly began to kowtow and beg, “Mercy, mercy, sir, I just want to live, I want you to save me, I have no other intentions, I really didn’t mean to lie to you, wuwu…”

Seeing this, the middle-aged man on the side suddenly became furious. He grabbed the woman’s neck and yelled, “Fuck you, bitch, you don’t even know what’s going on. How dare you lie to this gentleman!”

“I’m going to fucking kill you right now!”

As he spoke, he raised his hand, and suddenly a ball of flame appeared in his hand, and he was about to slap Zhao Huiyao.

Zhao Huiyao was so frightened that she screamed immediately, and the psychics who were kneeling below all lowered their heads and dared not to dissuade her.

When Liang Yuan saw this scene, he suddenly waved his hand!

An ice star chain shot out instantly.

With a “whoosh”, the middle-aged man’s head was shot through.

He didn’t even have time to scream before Liang Yuan swung the Ice Star Chain and his body flew backwards.

Liang Yuan sneered: “Nosy!”

Zhao Huiyao fell from the air, her elbow hit the ground and broke her skin.

Liang Yuan ignored him and asked directly: “I’ll ask you one last time, are you from Xinghai Garden Villa District?”

“Yes, I really am. I just don’t know the person you are talking about, but I am really from Xinghai Garden.”

“I made a little money in my early years, and later I hooked up with an investor and borrowed some money to buy a villa there.”

“I really didn’t lie about that.”

Zhao Huiyao hurriedly explained.

Liang Yuan looked at Zhao Huiyao and asked, “Okay, then let me ask you, when the flood came, how many of you escaped, and where did you flee to?”

“Think about it carefully and tell me everything. Don’t miss any details.”

“Don’t talk nonsense or lie. I have my own way of telling whether you are lying or not.”

“If you make up stories, you will end up like that person just now!”

Zhao Huiyao showed fear on her face and said in a trembling voice: “I, I tried my best, but there was a period of time when I was hiding at home and didn’t pay attention to the situation outside…”

“Tell me what you know.”

“Yes……”

Zhao Huiyao swallowed and quickly began to tell what happened after she encountered the flood.

Liang Yuan and others stood aside, listening carefully to her description and asking questions from time to time to verify whether she was lying.
