Global Freeze Get a Modifier at the Beginning

Chapter 230:

After driving for a while on the water, Liang Yu didn’t find anything unusual, so he turned on the autopilot.

On both sides of the river, Survivors could occasionally be seen coming to fetch water.

Liang Yu felt that a large number of people had survived.

However, Liang Yu quickly noticed something was wrong; as the RV advanced, the water level of the river channel became lower and lower.

This made Liang Yu feel a bit strange, but even if the river dried up, it wouldn’t stop the RV’s progress.

So Liang Yu simply switched to flight mode, flying low over the river surface, making it look as if he was driving on the water to others.

After flying for about half an hour, the RV reached the end of the river channel.

After glancing at the map and seeing a village nearby on the left, Liang Yu decisively made the RV fly to the right.

According to the map, after crossing a mountain from the right side, there was an open area.

From there, after reaching the city and then following the river all the way down, he could see the sea, but the journey might be a bit far.

After planning the route, Liang Yu intended to continue forward.

However, shortly after the RV started flying, he discovered a pit leading underground in that open area.

This immediately caught Liang Yu’s attention; after some thought, he found Mario and had him take the projector to the third floor to find Su Lan.

When Mario met Su Lan, Liang Yu projected the live scene for Su Lan to see and casually asked a question.

“Su Lan, do you think this pit in the ground might be related to your company?”

Liang Yu’s question made Su Lan silent; it was indeed hard to say, as their company had various research projects in different regions.

Therefore, Su Lan couldn’t immediately conclude whether the matter was related to the company.

In response, Su Lan submitted an application to Liang Yu to go out; her reason was simple: she wanted to go near that pit to confirm some things.

Because Liang Yu was also quite interested, he agreed to Su Lan’s request.

However, at this point, Su Lan made another request: she hoped Mario could accompany her to protect her.

But Liang Yu knew perfectly well that Su Lan was just telling him, in essence, “I won’t make any small moves, you can rest assured, I can even actively ask you to send someone to watch me.”

Liang Yu had no reason to refuse this small request; after preparing protective suits and other equipment for her, he had Mario take Su Lan closer to the pit.

After they left, Liang Yu found a mountain nearby and used an optical prism tower to blast open a Mountain Cave to hide from the high-temperature sunlight during the day.

After dealing with the Mountain Cave, Liang Yu controlled a Sixteen Type and came beside Su Lan.

At this moment, Su Lan was collecting soil from the edge of the pit, which made Liang Yu somewhat curious.

It’s just dirt, is it really necessary?

However, Liang Yu didn’t understand these things; although he didn’t grasp Su Lan’s intention, he didn’t stop her, as Su Lan had her own ideas.

Seeing that she was almost done, Liang Yu asked curiously.

“Did you find anything?”

Su Lan nodded but didn’t tell Liang Yu directly; instead, she pointed to the footprints on the ground nearby.

“Look at this footprint; it feels a size larger than a normal person’s.”

“I have some guesses, but they haven’t been confirmed yet; I’ll need to review some data when I get back to be sure.”

At this moment, Liang Yu, having nothing to do, prepared to send the Sixteen Type into the pit to check the situation, but he was stopped by Su Lan.

“Don’t go down yet; I estimate the owners of these footprints should be returning.”

“Let’s stop here for today.”

Then she said to Mario: “Brother, I’ll trouble you with the rest; please take care of the scent and traces we left behind.”

After Su Lan finished speaking, she quickly ran towards where the RV was located.

Liang Yu could tell she was a bit anxious, as if she had discovered something significant.

She wanted to quickly return to the RV to consult books and confirm her hypothesis.

Seeing Su Lan leave, Liang Yu, having nothing else to do, raised the Sixteen Type’s altitude and hovered above the pit.

Not long after, Su Lan returned to the RV; she rushed directly to the library on the third floor in a hurry.

She completely ignored Liang Yu, who was waiting nearby.

Soon after, Mario also returned from the pit; as Mario stepped into the vehicle, the Sixteen Type Liang Yu had placed above the pit was attacked.

Now the Sixteen Type had gone out of Liang Yu’s control and disappeared from the list.

In such a situation, it was 100% certain that the Sixteen Type had been destroyed by the opponent.

Although he wanted to shower the pit with some rockets as a reciprocal gesture, his rationality told him it would be soon enough to launch rockets after getting Su Lan’s results.

After waiting for Su Lan for over an hour without any news from her, Liang Yu started to feel a bit sleepy.

After arranging for Mario to stand guard outside for the night, Liang Yu returned to his room to rest.

Before sleeping, he specifically set an alarm for eight in the morning; he was still very concerned about the pit.

The next day, Liang Yu woke up early; he had set his alarm for eight, but he naturally woke up around seven fifty-five.

After washing up, Liang Yu placed the breakfast he had prepared for the Lan Ling sisters on the dining table, and he himself took some steamed buns and went to the third floor.

He knocked on Su Lan’s bedroom door, waited a moment, and saw a groggy Yi Yi, but as soon as she smelled the aroma of the steamed buns, she instantly ‘booted up’.

Liang Yu gave Yi Yi a few steamed buns to send her off and then turned to the library.

Seeing Su Lan in the library, Liang Yu knew she had stayed up all night there, and he immediately placed breakfast in front of Su Lan.

When Su Lan saw Liang Yu, although she was somewhat surprised, what she showed more was excitement.

Before Su Lan could speak, Liang Yu took a steamed bun and put it in her mouth, then picked up a steamed bun himself and started eating.

“Eat breakfast first; we’ll talk after you finish.”

Su Lan was also hungry by then, so she continuously took steamed buns and put them into her mouth with both hands; soon, the two of them finished a large bag of steamed buns, though most of them went into Su Lan’s mouth.

After eating his fill, Su Lan finally told Liang Yu about her discovery.

“You’re probably going to be disappointed this time; this pit really has nothing to do with the company’s research.”

“However, I searched for information all night, and after organizing it, I came to a conclusion.”

“We seem to have encountered the legendary Underground People; that pit was made by the Underground People from below.”

Hearing Su Lan talk about the Underground People, Liang Yu was a bit confused.

Because it was the first time he had heard of this race, his expression of complete ignorance at that moment betrayed him.

Just as he was about to ask Su Lan for detailed information about the Underground People, Su Lan spoke first.

“Don’t ask me; I don’t know either.”

“I only vaguely heard a colleague mention it before, which is why I spent all night flipping through books.”
