Chapter 142: Laying a trap

That night, over twenty people were wiped out at the village entrance.

After killing the remaining seven, Mario slowly walked over to their bodies.

He dragged them by one leg each, throwing them back into the sea of fire.

After several back-and-forths, he finally dealt with their remains.

Mario then returned to the vehicle and entered his own cabin.

The fire burned like that all night.

The next day, when Liang Yu woke up, the flames had still not extinguished.

This made Liang Yu wonder, “Are these people really that resistant to burning?”

In his memory, during peacetime, crematories burned bodies very quickly.

Pushing a body in and pressing a button, a person would be reduced to ashes in less than ten minutes.

However, Liang Yu overlooked one thing.

That was the temperature of the flames.

Others’ incinerators operated at high temperatures between 900 and 1000 degrees Celsius.

His flames, at most, reached about three hundred degrees.

The difference was not insignificant.

Naturally, the speed of burning was incomparable.

Currently, there were still very conspicuous intact bodies in the flames.

The black smoke produced by the burning continuously rose into the sky.

It sent a signal to the surrounding villages.

Liang Yu believed that many people had already seen it.

He felt that it wouldn’t be long before a new group of people arrived here.

However, he no longer had any bait to attract prey.

So it was time to set off again and continue the journey.

He walked to Mario’s cabin and woke him up.

The heavy responsibility of clearing the road could only be entrusted to him.

Liang Yu himself had some things to do.

Since he was leaving, he naturally needed to leave some gifts for them.

After all, everyone here would be curious and want to investigate.

And what he wanted to leave was a gift for these explorers.

Mario followed Liang Yu out of the RV.

But as soon as he stepped out of the RV, the terrible smell in the air almost suffocated him.

His body’s instinctive reaction was to hold his breath, refusing to inhale the exhaust fumes.

Then he quickly returned to the RV.

After waiting for more than ten seconds, he began to gasp for air.

The smell was truly unbearable.

He quickly rummaged through his backpack and, after a while, found the mask he had used before.

The next moment, the mask appeared in his hand.

Liang Yu skillfully put on the mask.

Then he pushed open the car door again and walked out.

This time, with the protection of the mask, he was no longer bothered by those disgusting smells.

He slowly walked over to the pile of black charcoal.

Looking at the charred bodies, Liang Yu didn’t feel much.

He rummaged through his backpack and found a blank sign.

Then he took out spray paint and wrote a warning on it.

“There are many traps around the bodies, please do not approach.”

He then put it into his backpack and duplicated many copies.

Next, he moved clockwise, continuously burying the traps from his backpack in the snow.

He would bury two or three and then erect a sign, sometimes burying one and erecting a sign.

Or sometimes several in a row without a sign, and sometimes three or four empty signs before one trap.

In any case, there was no pattern, and after circling once, he himself didn’t know where the traps were.

However, simply setting traps around was not enough for him.

He set traps in circles, one after another.

Finally, with the pile of charred bodies as the center, a radius of ten meters was completely covered with his traps.

Seeing the ground full of signs, he was very satisfied with his work.

By the time he returned to the RV, it was already past ten o’clock.

Mario was still clearing the road.

Liang Yu put away the mask he was wearing and then walked to the bathroom.

He took a shower and changed his clothes.

The suffocating smell on him was finally gone.

He had just walked out of the bathroom, wiping his wet hair with a towel.

As he passed the kitchen, an indescribable smell wafted over.

But the smell quickly dissipated.

He suddenly realized something very subtle.

Very carefully, he peeked his head into the kitchen.

His worries had come true.

Lan Ling now had a tablet propped up in front of her, playing cooking tutorials intermittently.

And on every surface in the kitchen where things could be placed, there were plates of charred black charcoal?

At least, in Liang Yu’s eyes, what he saw definitely looked like charcoal.

Liang Yu wanted to sneak away at this moment.

But it was too late!!!

He had already been discovered by Lan Ling.

“Come, come, try the dish I just learned to make and give me some suggestions.”

Saying that, she brought out a plate of sweet and sour pork ribs with a normal color.

Perhaps she liked this dish, so it was the first one she learned to make.

Liang Yu walked over and sniffed it.

Immediately, a sour smell rushed straight to his head.

It made his whole body shiver.

Looking at her expectant face, he steeled himself, reached out, picked up a piece of rib, and put it into his mouth.

The taste upon first entering his mouth was still relatively normal.

Then, after taking a bite, the sweetness of the meat was released.

Following the release of sweetness was that extreme sourness.

He immediately put on a pained expression.

But he kept trying to control his facial expression.

Then he spat out the bone.

“It’s pretty good, the sweet and sour taste is very distinct, and there’s still room for improvement.”

Lan Ling’s eyes lit up when she heard that, and she reached out, grabbed a piece, and put it into her mouth.

Liang Yu didn’t even have time to stop her.

After putting a piece of rib into her mouth, her expression instantly changed.

In less than a second, she opened her mouth and spat it out.

She ran to the sink and continuously rinsed her mouth with water.

She looked at Liang Yu with a strange expression.

After thinking for a while, she asked.

“You haven’t lost your sense of taste, have you?”

Liang Yu’s fist landed on her little head.

“Then what do you want me to say? It’s your first time cooking, am I supposed to say this isn’t fit for human consumption?”

“How much sugar and vinegar did you add, anyway?”

Lan Ling pointed to the brightly lit screen on the tablet.

Two very conspicuous large characters in the tutorial.

“Appropriate amount!!!”

“You see for yourself, he said ‘appropriate amount,’ so I just added it by eye.”

Liang Yu was at a loss for words for a moment.

“Appropriate amount” truly didn’t have an accurate measurement.

“How about I find some time to teach you simple vegetarian dishes first?”

Unexpectedly, he was rejected by Lan Ling.

“I don’t want that!”

“I only want to cook meat dishes!!”

For her willfulness, Liang Yu could only choose to indulge her.

Just as he was about to teach Lan Ling to make sweet and sour pork ribs again, his wristband, which had been quiet for a long time, rang.

Liang Yu immediately shared the screen to his glasses.

He saw a string of unfamiliar numbers.

After a moment of hesitation, he still answered the call.

At that moment, a familiar voice came from the phone.

“Hello? Hello?”

“Liang Yu, can you hear me? It’s Huang Qiushi.”

“Something bad has happened. Now there are two groups of people in the community, both looking for you. Be careful.”

After speaking, the call was hung up before Liang Yu could even reply.

Lan Ling, who was beside him, also heard it.

“Oh.”

“Why did Qiushi hang up? I still wanted to talk to her.”
