Chapter 246: No more lack of food

The bead in the upper right middle of Second Unit reacted again after he finished speaking.

The bead suddenly lit up, its color constantly switching between red and green.

Zhou Lihua had been staring at the lie-detecting bead in Second Unit’s hand after shouting the name.

However, the lie-detecting bead didn’t make her wait long; it quickly stopped switching between red and green.

Then, a bead emitting a green light appeared before Zhou Lihua’s eyes.

She was a bit confused at this moment; did this mean she hadn’t lied?

After the confusion came panic. She was certain she didn’t know this person, and she had been wearing a protective suit the entire way here.

It was impossible for the other party to see her face.

As for the other party having collected her information?

This thought merely flashed by; she found it ridiculous.

If it were in the past, she certainly wouldn’t be surprised. After all, with big data, let alone her name, the other party might even know which foot she used to step into her room yesterday.

But now it was different; forget big data, that stuff was just a pile of scrap metal, and there wasn’t even electricity now.

This also confirmed the authenticity of the lie-detecting bead before her, but just one time wasn’t enough to dispel her suspicions.

After all, once might be a coincidence, twice an accident, but a third time definitely indicates a problem.

So Zhou Lihua prepared for a second test, but would Liang Yu let her proceed so smoothly?

Just as she was preparing for the second test, excruciating pain shot through her leg again.

The pain made her entire body convulse, and she involuntarily curled up.

At this moment, Liang Yu had Second Unit take action.

One could only say the other party was too naive. What did she think this place was?

Was the lie-detecting bead Liang Yu took out a toy for her?

Could she play with it however she wanted? That was impossible, and Liang Yu would not indulge such actions from the other party.

So he had Second Unit directly stomp and crush the bone of her left big toe, which led to the scene just now.

All ten fingers are connected to the heart, and although it wasn’t a finger, a toe should count too, right?

Liang Yu was pondering this question, waiting for the other party to recover and continue answering.

Although he said he would wait, he couldn’t just keep waiting indefinitely.

Liang Yu glanced at the time and said,

“You have three minutes. In three minutes, I want to hear the answer.”

“And also, stop with all this nonsense, or next time it won’t be a toe.”

Zhou Lihua, in agony, heard Liang Yu’s words, forcibly endured the pain, and supported herself with her hands on the ground to lift her body, looking at Second Unit before her.

However, her eyes were already filled with fear and reverence.

Only after catching her breath did she explain her purpose to Second Unit.

“You must have already seen that large wild boar.”

At this moment, Liang Yu resisted the urge to beat her. One of the people he hated most in his life was this kind of person.

Those who speak halfway, waiting for you to ask or prompt them before they continue.

As long as you don’t speak, the other party acts like a mute, looking at you, their eyes saying, ‘Ask me! Hurry up and ask me!’

It made Liang Yu wonder if he was really too easy to talk to, making the other party a bit arrogant.

Had she forgotten her own status?

So, the very kind Liang Yu felt it was good to help this person who had lost her self-awareness to recall what her status truly was.

However, what Liang Yu completely didn’t expect was how quickly the other party became submissive.

Liang Yu could swear he hadn’t done anything yet; he had only placed the gun barrel in front of her.

He hadn’t even tried to shove the gun barrel into the other party’s mouth to let her taste gunpowder.

Yet, she surrendered at light speed, which made it difficult for Liang Yu to act for a moment.

With a firearm pointed at her, any thought of making someone prompt her was fake.

“We have a potion that can make animals grow larger.”

“That wild boar weighing several hundred catties, after long-term consumption of this, you’ve seen it; its weight is probably close to a ton.”

“At a time like this, cultivating such animals means there’s no shortage of food!!!”

Zhou Lihua was already excited as she spoke, and in her excitement, she accidentally pulled at her wound.

Liang Yu listened to the other party’s words and nodded in agreement.

If this potion could really make those things gigantic, just a wild boar that big would be enough to eat for a long time.

Randomly, he thought of some questions and asked casually,

“So, does drinking this potion make them instantly bigger?”

However, Liang Yu’s question was met with Zhou Lihua’s mockery.

“Are you stupid?”

“Or have you watched too much anime?”

“A potion that makes you instantly bigger? Don’t joke.”

“This potion only has a stimulating effect; with long-term consumption, the animal’s bones will gradually enlarge, and it will also drive the growth and strengthening of the flesh.”

Zhou Lihua explained for a while, and Liang Yu understood. This also made him increasingly feel that the Titan Boa Young Snake he encountered earlier was created this way.

However, Liang Yu felt that this potion was very dangerous. Just like animals, long-term consumption would stimulate them to achieve larger body sizes.

So what if humans consumed these animals for a long time?

Would they also turn into giants? After all, humans are also animals; they just learned to make fire, and create and use tools compared to other animals.

If the meat of these animals truly became the daily food source in the future, Liang Yu felt there was a high probability that ordinary giants as large as those in Japan’s anime would appear.

But these were all matters for the future; he wouldn’t be using it anyway. Snake-people had already appeared, so what if there was one more giant?

Recalling his thoughts, Zhou Lihua was still passionately describing the greatness of this achievement.

Liang Yu felt nothing about it. Instead, he asked an irrelevant question, hoping the other party could tell him the answer.

“Stop first.”

“You’ve said so much, but why would taking a potion require blowing up the Chemical Factory, and flattening the surrounding area as well?”

Here, Liang Yu set a trap for the other party. He didn’t directly ask if she blew up the Chemical Factory.

Instead, whether Zhou Lihua did it or not, he directly pinned the blame on her first.

Liang Yu wanted to know if the other party would take the blame, or if the person who blew up the Chemical Factory was truly Zhou Lihua.

Facing Liang Yu’s sudden question, Zhou Lihua was a bit caught off guard, especially that one sentence, which directly identified her as the true culprit of the Chemical Factory explosion.

For some reason, Zhou Lihua felt a bit wronged, and this grievance had nowhere to be vented, so she could only swallow it.

Liang Yu also saw that the other party suddenly fell silent, and immediately knew there was a problem here.

So, while waiting for Zhou Lihua’s reply, he also pondered what kind of situation would force someone to blow up a Chemical Factory.
