Chapter 252: Someone from the company?

“Planting medicinal herbs?”

Su Lan listened to Liang Yu’s idea, thought about it carefully, and gave him four words.

“Ripening potion?”

“If that’s the kind of potion you want, I can make it for you.”

Liang Yu waved his hand directly, rejecting Su Lan’s offer to make him a ripening potion; he had plenty of those in his backpack.

Since he couldn’t get the potion for planting medicinal herbs, he would find time to figure out how to get it later.

As for that box of [Extreme - M61] potions, he directly put them away, as Liang Yu was afraid that if they stayed with Su Lan, she might do something reckless.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something he hadn’t had time to ask earlier.

He turned his head again to look at Su Lan.

“Oh, by the way, I’m very curious how you got your medicinal herbs.”

“I don’t remember putting any medicinal herbs in your lab warehouse.”

Su Lan answered this question without any hesitation.

“Indeed, there weren’t any!”

“But you left Yi Yi with me, and I need medicinal herbs, yet I can’t leave the third floor.”

“So, the only way I could think of was to have Yi Yi ask Mario to give him the list of needed medicinal herbs.”

“Mario would deliver them to the third floor.”

“I followed your rules, so don’t even think about causing trouble for me.”

Liang Yu wasn’t trying to cause trouble; he was just curious and asked casually.

However, since she explained, he was too lazy to bother, especially since he still had a lot of things to finish.

Bidding farewell to Su Lan, Liang Yu walked out of the laboratory. When he arrived on the first floor, he faintly heard a certain sound again.

For some reason, hearing this sound gave him a vague feeling that he was being cuckolded.

So Liang Yu followed the sound and arrived at Mu Yunxi’s door. A very familiar voice came from inside.

That’s right, it was Lan Ling’s, and Lan Ling was calling his name at that moment.

Liang Yu, feeling a bit restless listening at the door, quietly tried to open Mu Yunxi’s door to see what was going on inside.

As soon as he touched the door, he realized it was only ajar and not actually closed.

Liang Yu gave a wry smile; this was probably a door left open for him by Lan Ling, or even intentionally made him hear.

He slowly pushed the door open and looked into the room.

The beautiful scene made his blood begin to surge. Liang Yu felt relieved when he saw that he had not been cuckolded.

After watching for a while at the doorway, he quietly closed the door again.

This time, between being a beast and being worse than a beast, he once again chose the latter.

He also really wanted to bury himself in the land of pleasure, comfortably enjoy every day, and live a life of debauchery and indulgence.

It was just that Liang Yu still had things unfinished, so the land of pleasure could only be enjoyed with Lan Ling at night.

With thoughts of the land of pleasure, Liang Yu returned to the cockpit. The first thing he did upon arriving in the cockpit was to display the surveillance feeds from the breeding farm, the passage, and the river entrance on the front screen.

Afterward, Liang Yu dispatched several drones to investigate the abandoned village he had encountered before.

Since there was an underground cavern there, there might be something else.

Especially the black figure he saw before, Liang Yu now felt that the other party was a potential threat.

Even monsters and monster eggs existed in the cavern, so that black figure was probably similar.

It might even be a product of the company’s laboratory that had escaped.

If it really was related to the company, then things would get interesting.

Liang Yu was still thinking that if he encountered people from the company, he would capture them and severely exploit them.

After causing so much trouble, it would be truly unfair to himself not to make them work 007.

While Liang Yu was thinking about how to exploit the company’s employees, the drones he had dispatched had already arrived over the village.

The drones hovered in the air, emitting a buzzing sound.

Under the operation of the program, its camera began continuously scanning every corner of the village, searching for the black figure it had seen before.

The drone continued to fly, and its camera captured some strange footage.

Approximately two kilometers directly opposite the location where the cavern was discovered, behind an abandoned house, a black figure seemed to flash by.

With this discovery, several drones quickly adjusted their direction and flew towards that area.

When they flew behind that house, the black figure had already disappeared from the screen.

Liang Yu截取 the footage of the black figure and sent it to the system for analysis. According to the system’s analysis, the figure’s body shape and movements indicated that it was undoubtedly human.

As for why it was black, based on the system’s judgment, the outer layer of the figure’s body should be made of special thermal insulation material, just like a protective suit, completely enveloping him.

At this point, Liang Yu finally understood why the person could move around in such hot weather. However, the person’s figure appeared relatively bulky, suggesting there might be some equipment inside.

The most crucial point was the person’s extreme speed; over a distance of just two or three hundred meters, the drones flew past, yet they couldn’t find any trace of the person.

In Liang Yu’s mind, he had already labeled this person as a company employee.

Besides the company, he really couldn’t think of anyone else who could possess such capabilities.

At the same time, he was considering another matter: he had many protective suits in his backpack.

He was considering whether to modify one himself so he could go out during the day.

However, this idea was quickly rejected. What was rejected was not modifying the protective suit, but going out. He wasn’t sick, so he would naturally avoid going out if possible.

As for the protective suits, he always adhered to one principle.

I might not need the item, but I cannot be without it, nor can I fail to prepare it.

Thus, modifying the protective suit was incorporated into his work for this period.

Just then, a drone’s live feed suddenly went black. According to the last captured footage,

this drone was shot down by the other party, falling from the sky and breaking upon impact.

Liang Yu felt a sudden surge of anger when he saw this, but the reason for his anger was not the drone’s damage.

Even if this one drone was destroyed, or even if all these drones were gone, he wouldn’t feel distressed.

Liang Yu was angry because the other party attacked him, and his few drones on site failed to capture how the attack happened.

They couldn’t even spot the other party’s shadow.

Soon, the drones hovering in the sky were shot down one by one by the other party.

At this point, all the footage provided by the drones in front of Liang Yu went black, except for the two surveillance feeds from the cave entrance.

However, it was because of this incident that Liang Yu confirmed the other party’s location.

If there were no surprises, it would be the area where the drones were destroyed.
