Chapter 261: Greed is the original sin

With matters here concluded, Liang Yu saw no need to linger.

He quickly returned to the RV’s door, and the construction progress he witnessed genuinely surprised him.

The outer protective perimeter was largely complete, and two Marios were now adding anti-intrusion measures to the wall.

Meanwhile, the drones were incredibly efficient; the general outline was already taking shape.

The waterslide, wave pool, and water fortress were already visible in their rudimentary forms, and it wouldn’t be long before they were finished.

As for the water source and facilities, Liang Yu didn’t think it would be a problem at all.

By carefully exploring his backpack, he could always find strange and wonderful things, and pool equipment would be no exception.

So, he first returned to the equipment room, changed out of his Mechanical Armor and back into his casual clothes, and then headed to the cockpit.

Liang Yu took out the spirit ball containing the Titan Python and began to toy with it in his hand; although he had now subdued it.

No matter what, he was still worried, worried that this Titan Python might be feigning surrender.

If he released it carelessly, and it caused trouble while he was exercising at night, it would be problematic.

Now that its size had grown considerably, swallowing an RV whole should not be much of an issue.

He was quite conflicted now; on one hand, he worried about it causing trouble, but on the other, he wanted to release the Titan Python to handle problems for him.

More importantly, the Titan Python’s size was simply too immense, and the items he had to control it were practically unusable.

At this point, Liang Yu could only resort to the most primitive method.

When he thought of this method, his gaze naturally fell upon the Marios diligently working outside.

What he could use now was the most primitive form of man-to-man marking, except the one being marked would be slightly different, becoming a Titan Python.

Thus, the third Mario was taken out of Liang Yu’s backpack; his mission was simply to keep an eye on the Titan Python.

This Mario was also the most relaxed of the three Marios; only he could do nothing at all. He wondered if the other two Marios would feel unbalanced, but even if they did, they couldn’t express it.

Strictly speaking, the third Mario was also the most unfortunate; he was performing the task assigned by Liang Yu twenty-four hours a day, it was just that this task was somewhat special.

After finalizing the plan, Liang Yu put Mario Number Three back into his backpack and, with a flash, arrived at the top of the iceberg.

He first released Mario, then took out the spirit ball containing the Titan Python, clicked the center of the sphere, but did not throw the spirit ball out. Instead, the spirit ball in his hand opened, and a stream of light reappeared, releasing the Titan Python.

The newly released Titan Python’s mind was a bit muddled at the moment; it was clearly not processing things well.

In its mind, there were only three questions: Who am I? Where am I? How did I get here?

At this moment, Liang Yu pointed directly at the Mario beside him.

“Python, this person next to me is your partner now.”

“From now on, you two must get along well. You don’t need to worry about food; Mario will provide it for you every day.”

“But you need to understand, I don’t have anyone here who eats for free, so you need to exchange your labor for food, understand?”

The Titan Python’s mind was still in a state of shutdown at this moment; it took a while for it to process all the information, and then it looked at Liang Yu and nodded sincerely.

It even let out a hiss, as if saying.

“A snake will never be a slave, unless it’s all-you-can-eat! All-you-can-eat! All-you-can-eat!”

Liang Yu seemed to understand the Titan Python’s words, and then he stated its job.

“Excellent!”

“I will now tell you the specific work.”

He then pointed to the RV below the iceberg and that area, saying.

“Do you see it? That area fenced off, it’s all ours.”

“Your task is to protect our base from external intrusions.”

“Of course, everyone currently within this range is one of us. If you dare to cause trouble, don’t blame me.”

As Liang Yu spoke, he deliberately fiddled with the spirit ball in his hand. The Titan Python’s pupils visibly contracted when it saw the spirit ball in Liang Yu’s hand, and it then nodded very readily.

Seeing how sensible it was, Liang Yu felt a bit relieved.

“Also, those who trespass without permission are intruders. If they don’t listen to your partner Mario’s persuasion, then they are your extra meal.”

“Remember, you cannot eat anyone I haven’t told you to eat.”

However, Liang Yu now looked at this foolish snake that only knew how to nod, and he seriously doubted whether he had damaged its brain earlier.

Especially when Liang Yu finished talking about the extra meal, he actually saw a fawning expression on the Titan Python’s face.

An illusion, it must be an illusion. Liang Yu couldn’t believe such a thing could happen.

After explaining everything here, Liang Yu took out a pair of overalls filled with beef and handed them to Mario Number Three.

At this point, the Titan Python was settled. He would first observe its performance over the next few days.

At that time, he would let Lan Ling see this Titan Python, though he wondered if Lan Ling would be pleasantly surprised or frightened.

As night fell, the sky had already darkened. Apart from the drone’s lights, no other light could be seen in the sky.

The water park had been completed over an hour ago. Liang Yu checked the paint coating; due to the influence of the iceberg, the surrounding temperature was not high.

These coatings hadn’t dried yet, so it seemed that filling the water could only wait until tomorrow.

Liang Yu then had the drones return, while he himself went back to the RV to enjoy the dinner prepared by his wife.

As for the other two Marios, Liang Yu assigned them the task of patrolling around the RV.

On the other side, the Survivors in the vicinity had already begun to stir. With the cover of night and the lowered temperature from the iceberg, these people were likely among the most comfortable ones.

This group of Survivors was now heading towards Liang Yu’s water park.

Did so many Survivors not know that this iceberg appeared very abruptly?

Did no one among them find anything strange?

Did no one among them know how dangerous it would be to do this?

They surely knew. Since they knew, why would they do this?

Of course, it was so they could live better. In this environment, no one knew when they would die. Perhaps they would die unexpectedly tomorrow and become someone else’s meal.

In such a situation, they naturally wanted to live more freely. In the words of these people, it was to seize the day.

This group of Survivors, using the moonlight, advanced in the dark, unaware that one person and one snake on top of the iceberg had already set their sights on them.
