<h4>Chapter 161: Chapter 103: Strange Bird, Negotiation_3</h4>


    "Look at those mutated creatures outside, and you should understand that the world is no longer the same."


    "This is a new round of natural selection. The dominant position on the may no longer belong to humans."


    Her words made everyone present even more solemn.


    Cai Zhi couldn’t help but say, "Are humans to be extinct?"


    Ding Yan said, "We cannot rule out this possibility unless humans evolve gills like fish and can live underwater."


    "Otherwise, given the current situation, with the flood covering thend, the survival of terrestrial creatures will be increasingly difficult."


    Old Ma couldn’t help but say, "That’s impossible. Although the water level has risen a lot here, Linjiang City is in an area of average altitude."


    "Yunchuan, the Tibetan Region, and the Western Border are all hignds. They couldn’t possibly be submerged, right?"


    "If even those ces are submerged, how much water would that take? Does our have that much water?"


    Old Ma was also a knowledgeable person, and what he said made sense.


    It’s no wonder he was skeptical. Even Cai Zhi and Zhao Kai found it hard to believe.


    Ding Yan nced at Old Ma and asked, "With the emergence of major evolution in creatures, what is impossible?"


    "Furthermore, how do you know how much water is on this? What makes you think that all this water is from this?"


    "Couldn’t it be from outer space? Couldn’t it havee up from the Earth’s core?"


    "How much do we really know about this?"


    "It has already undergone changes that are beyond ourprehension. We should not judge it by previous knowledge and experience, or we will surely suffer."


    Ding Yan was indeed a teacher from Linjiang University, and her insights were exceptional and logical.


    However, for someone like Old Ma, who had seen a lot in his life, it was difficult to ept such drastic changes.


    Liang Yuan, on the other hand, seemed to agree with Ding Yan.


    The world had undergone a massive transformation, and past experiences could no longer serve as standards or references for judgment.


    In Linjiang City, the seawater was flooding in, the water level was rising, and the flood was raging.


    Were there no other disasters in higher altitude areas?


    Wouldn’t the snow on Tianshan Mountain melt?


    Could there be tectonic movements?


    Could high-altitude areas not be lower?


    History books have also mentioned that marine fossils were found in ancient hignds.


    This indicated that millions of years ago, those areas might have been seas.


    Change over time is inevitable. Everything can transform.


    Perhaps this was elerating its changes now; who knows?


    Liang Yuan didn’t want to be bogged down by these thoughts; he had more urgent matters to attend to.


    "These are not issues we can concern ourselves with. Everyone, we now have more pressing matters."


    Everyone’s eyes turned to Liang Yuan.


    Liang Yuan said solemnly, "Survival!"


    "You’ve seen that airne. Hoping for rescue from outside is slim."


    "But staying in this building indefinitely will eventually force us out due to resource shortages or some other reasons."


    "At that point, we won’t have a choice."


    "Right now, the seawater has only reached the 12th floor. We still have time to prepare and options to choose from."


    "I n to build a raft. Now I ask you, if the raft is sessful, will you leave with me?"


    His eyes were burning as he looked at everyone.


    The group immediately fell into deep thought.


    Ding Yan was the first to speak, "I will go with you!"


    Before anyone else could say a word, she continued, "This building will eventually copse after prolonged soaking in seawater."


    "Even if it doesn’t copse due to soaking, the numerous mutated creatures in the flood outside will sooner orter destroy these buildings."


    "And this heavy rain shows no signs of stopping. No one knows how long it will continue. As the flood continues to rage and the water level keeps rising, the ces we can stand on will be less and less."


    "At that time, the survival space for those staying here will be increasingly limited, leading to more intense conflicts."


    "Staying here is like boiling a frog in lukewarm water. Sooner orter, we will die. It’s better to leave now while the mutated creatures aren’t so terrifying."


    As soon as she finished, Zhao Kai also spoke, "Brother Liang, I will go with you too."


    "There is nothing worth staying here for anymore."


    This one reason alone was enough.


    Cai Zhi and Old Ma also looked at Liang Yuan.


    Cai Zhi sighed, "Liang Yuan, I will go with you too."


    Old Ma said, "I will join as well. This ce... is no longer livable."


    Liang Yuan smiled, "Do you want to reconsider?"


    "Ding Yan and Zhao Kai are lone wolves and can leave everything behind to follow me, but you both have families."


    "What’s there to think about? Just now on the rooftop, I saw the faces of those people."


    Cai Zhi forced a smile, "Without you here, they would turn this ce upside down."


    Old Ma also sighed, "Human nature is the hardest to predict. Our team is still better. Staying with them here will probably get us killed before the floodwaters reach us."


    Clearly, they were all smart people. The behavior of Liu Changfa upstairs was not just his alone.


    Many other residents had simr thoughts.


    After all, most of the food supplies were in Liang Yuan’s hands.


    It would be surprising if those people weren’t jealous.


    Liang Yuanughed, "Your words make me happy. We’ve been together from the start, and I am of course d to leave together."


    "With all of you, I am more confident about leaving here."


    Old Ma then asked, "Liang Yuan, where do you n to go? Yangshan or Meishan?"


    Cai Zhi also said, "With the flood outside and no GPS, finding a way will be difficult."


    Again, everyone looked at Liang Yuan. These were the most pressing issues.
