Chapter 187:

He made sure the spray hit Su Lan’s face.

This way, it would be inhaled with her breath.

It was just strange that this time Su Lan still hadn’t woken up after two or three minutes.

Liang Yu felt a bit odd; by all accounts, she should have woken up already.

So he took out the spray again and held it down on Su Lan’s face for nearly twenty seconds.

After twenty seconds of spraying, the unconscious Su Lan finally reacted.

Liang Yu watched as Su Lan slowly sat up, shook her head, and then pressed her temples with her hand.

After a moment of recovery, she opened her eyes and looked at Liang Yu.

“You, why are you here?”

“Where is Rosa Lia?”

But Liang Yu always felt something was off.

He did not let down his guard against the Su Lan in front of him.

It was then that he noticed Mario was not in the room.

He reached up to touch the glasses he was wearing, retrieving Mario’s real-time movements, who had originally been on guard here.

Everything had been normal for a while.

Mario was diligently standing guard until the charcoal for the stove ran out.

This made Mario return to the car to carry wood charcoal.

It was during this time that something happened in the insulated room.

When Mario returned, he saw that Rosa Lia had already left and was currently tracking footprints in the snow.

Liang Yu gave Mario an instruction to return, then looked at Su Lan beside him.

The more Liang Yu looked, the more suspicious she seemed.

However, Liang Yu still extended his hand to Su Lan, who was on the ground.

Just like last time, Su Lan also extended her hand, and Liang Yu pulled her up.

Only this time, Liang Yu had other intentions.

After pulling Su Lan up, he reached out and patted her body.

He even specifically patted her buttocks, an action that instantly made Su Lan feel uncomfortable.

Liang Yu then produced a miniature camera in his hand and extended his mischievous hand to measure her chest.

“Hmm, not bad.”

“I just checked you, and there are no major problems with your body.”

At the same time, the miniature camera had already been installed on her clothing.

Su Lan struggled free at this point and retreated a few steps.

She clearly saw Liang Yu as a pervert.

Liang Yu didn’t care at this point; his goal had already been achieved anyway.

He pointed to the box on the floor by the door.

“Alright, since you’re fine, I’ll leave.”

“That roasted chicken was originally for you all, but since Rosa Lia left, it’s yours now.”

After speaking, Liang Yu walked out of the insulated room and met Mario, who had just rushed back.

This time, he gave Mario a strict order.

He must keep a close eye on Su Lan and report any unusual movements to him.

Liang Yu watched Mario enter the insulated room, then he himself got into the RV.

Now he felt that things were a bit strange.

The escaping Rosa Lia and the unconscious Su Lan.

If Su Lan was knocked out by Rosa Lia, then what was the reason?

Preventing Rosa Lia from leaving, that doesn’t make sense either.

After all, the two of them didn’t seem very familiar with each other.

At most, they were just colleagues who knew each other’s names.

There might even be some bad blood between them.

His current idea was to find Rosa Lia.

Because the more he thought about it, the more suspicious he found this Su Lan to be.

He even doubted the method Su Lan told him.

This was also the reason he buried TNT nearby.

With such a large amount of powerful explosives, Liang Yu didn’t believe he couldn’t blow these things to bits.

Liang Yu then opened the map and roughly determined the direction Rosa Lia had left based on Mario’s movement trajectory.

He found the drone control terminal abandoned by Lan Ling in the co-pilot’s seat.

Following Mario’s movement trajectory on the map, he arrived at the final location.

Upon reaching this location, Liang Yu could see through the drone that Rosa Lia’s footprints in the snow had disappeared.

Instead, there were obvious indentations on the snow.

Liang Yu was no stranger to these indentations.

When he encountered the Titan Python before, it left similar indentations beneath its body.

And judging by the size, these were not indentations that an ordinary snake could create.

Liang Yu had a bold guess in his mind.

The creature that made these indentations was the Snake Person he was looking for.

As for why it couldn’t be a smaller Titan Python, it could be judged from the depth of these indentations.

After this analysis, Liang Yu suddenly felt like an experienced hunter.

Although he didn’t know if this analysis was correct, to verify his idea, Liang Yu controlled the drone to follow the indentations.

After following for about three hundred meters, the indentations completely disappeared.

Looking at the indentations that vanished in place, Liang Yu controlled the drone to circle within a few tens of meters around the area.

No animal tracks were found on the snow.

At this point, Liang Yu returned to the spot where the indentations disappeared.

His confusion deepened.

How did the other party disappear?

The Snake Person and Rosa Lia disappeared in place, or perhaps they burrowed into the snow.

Or, to make an even bolder guess, Rosa Lia was also a Snake Person, capable of freely switching forms.

However, this idea was quickly dismissed by Liang Yu.

It might be possible for Rosa Lia to turn into a Snake Person, but transforming into a human was unrealistic.

Suddenly, another idea dawned on Liang Yu.

Both Su Lan and Rosa Lia had been injected with the gene serum their research was about.

It was just that due to individual differences, the time required for transformation varied.

So, it was highly possible that Su Lan was also a potential Snake Person now.

This made sense to Liang Yu.

There might be reproductive isolation between humans and Snake People.

But within the same species, between Snake Person and Snake Person, this reproductive isolation might not exist.

This could explain why Rosa Lia and Su Lan were captured to reproduce with the Snake People.

So, did Rosa Lia leave because she was about to transform into a Snake Person?

There was a large amount of xionghuang powder near the RV, so its irritating smell instinctively made her stay away.

All of this seemed to make sense, but Liang Yu still felt that something was amiss.

After an unsuccessful search, Liang Yu arranged for the drone to return.

He called over Mario, who was guarding Yi Yi.

Liang Yu took out a fast-food meal and a bowl of stewed chicken soup from his backpack.

Liang Yu added some xionghuang powder to the chicken soup.

After mixing the powder, he took out a bottle of white pepper and sprinkled a little to mask the smell.

Then he had Mario deliver these two items to Su Lan.

He himself watched the surveillance from the driver’s seat nearby.

In his mind, things were simple.

If Su Lan was also a Snake Person, she would certainly dislike the chicken soup with xionghuang powder in it.

She might even knock over the bowl of chicken soup.

And that’s the effect Liang Yu wanted.

One must know that food was scarce now.

Moreover, it was stewed chicken soup; although it was just a bowl of chicken soup, it was very difficult for many people to even get a taste of such chicken soup now.
