Chapter 296: Su Lan’s sky collapsed

“Don’t joke around. Is increasing one’s lifespan that easy to achieve?”

“The immortality those people pursue, in my opinion, is nothing but a joke.”

“From beginning to end, I never believed immortality could be achieved. All of it is just their wishful thinking.”

At this point, Su Lan’s attitude suddenly changed.

“But this indeed gave me strength.”

“Allowing me to protect myself.”

As she spoke, she extended her snake-transformed arm, displaying it before Liang Yu.

Liang Yu looked at Su Lan, who could now control parts of her body to turn into a snake, and curiously glanced at it a few more times.

Su Lan also noticed Liang Yu’s gaze.

Everything was within her expectations, so she tentatively asked,

“Do you need me to make another evolution potion? If Yi Yi drinks it, she can become a formidable fighting force under you in the future.”

Only now was Su Lan’s true objective revealed.

Was Su Lan planning to restart human evolution experiments by herself?

Liang Yu felt that things were not that simple. Perhaps Su Lan had a bigger scheme, but he couldn’t guess what it was.

He didn’t care what Su Lan’s intentions were, and flatly refused, directly shattering Su Lan’s idea.

“I’m sorry, you’ve miscalculated.”

“I don’t need this kind of fighting force.”

Speaking of which, Liang Yu remembered something that might change Su Lan’s mind once she saw it.

So he projected the video of the Humanoid Bug for Su Lan to watch.

“Take a look, this is what I encountered.”

“Do you think it has anything to do with the company?”

After Su Lan finished watching the video, her brows furrowed, and Liang Yu thoughtfully set the video to loop.

After watching the video several times, Su Lan looked at Liang Yu, seemingly wanting to confirm something.

“Was that Humanoid Bug a human before it went in?”

After asking, she waited for an answer from Liang Yu.

She hadn’t even considered that Liang Yu might not know the answer. The question she asked was also what Liang Yu wanted to know, which was why he showed the video to Su Lan, hoping to get an answer from her.

But Su Lan preempted him and asked first, and the only answer she got from Liang Yu was three words: “I don’t know.”

Not getting an answer from Liang Yu, Su Lan wasn’t surprised, as most of the time she was the one providing answers to Liang Yu, so she could only begin her own analysis.

However, the video didn’t provide comprehensive information, and Su Lan could only determine that the other party had obtained a new body and was still in the adaptation phase after emerging.

But based on her experience from so many experiments, the other party was most likely a human before, and their actions of confirming their body after emerging from the giant cocoon were very similar to those who underwent their Snake-Human experiments.

Liang Yu was not very surprised by the answer Su Lan gave. He even felt it should be this way.

However, what Su Lan didn’t understand was when the company had fallen so low that it was experimenting in such an environment.

According to Su Lan’s understanding of the company, although the matter seemed somewhat like the company’s doing, it clearly wasn’t.

Liang Yu felt a bit exasperated upon hearing Su Lan’s deduction. This was a huge accusation; the company almost got blamed again.

However, at this point, Liang Yu told Su Lan the truth.

But before speaking, Liang Yu added a perplexing sentence.

“First, let me warn you, you can’t make a move, or I’ll throw the spirit ball directly.”

“This Humanoid Bug has nothing to do with the company at all.”

“I found it when I was searching for the mother bug.”

“My deduction is that these were all created by the Zerg themselves. Not long ago, when I first encountered them, I thought they were just a Zerg.”

“As I delved deeper, I realized they already possessed their own intelligence; calling them Zerg is not an exaggeration at all.”

Su Lan continuously processed the information Liang Yu provided, and quickly found and grasped the key points.

“You mean, these bugs just survived like this in the outside world, and then began to evolve, even developing intelligence?”

“They even evolved into humanoid forms?”

Afterward, Su Lan began to lose her composure.

“Impossible!”

“This is absolutely impossible!”

“Why can they evolve to such a degree in such a short time?”

“What was the point of us working day and night, staying up late doing experiments?”

“Are we just big fools?!!!”

“Years of effort are actually no match for two or three months of evolution. How ridiculous.”

Liang Yu noticed that Su Lan’s state was very off, even somewhat manic.

At this moment, Liang Yu felt a little guilty for some reason. He reached out and rubbed his nose, at a loss as to how to comfort Su Lan.

Perhaps to him, this matter was just as it was, and he felt nothing.

But for Su Lan, it was equivalent to directly negating all her previous long-term efforts.

Watching Su Lan vent, Liang Yu glanced at the spirit ball in his hand, wondering whether he should confine Su Lan for a while to prevent her from continuing to go crazy.

However, even if Su Lan were confined, she would still be like this after being released. It was better to watch her himself and talk to her once she calmed down.

Thus, Liang Yu watched from the side for half an hour, and Su Lan finally stopped.

After venting, Su Lan, now calm, first poured herself a glass of water, and only after drinking it did she look at the culprit, Liang Yu.

“I’m sorry, I lost my composure just now.”

“I hope I can go out as an investigator.”

“You can rest assured, I won’t run away. I’m not an idiot; I also have some understanding of the situation outside.”

“Working for you here, my living conditions are guaranteed. Only an idiot would leave.”

What Su Lan wanted to do was written all over her face; she was practically screaming, “I want to kill them!”

As for Su Lan seizing the opportunity to run away, that was completely impossible, as she herself had stated it, so there was no need to worry too much about that.

One of the main reasons Liang Yu didn’t want her to go out was that if she left, Yi Yi would have no one to look after her, and he planned to check on the small detached house later.

If it met his conditions, he would replicate it and bring the machinery back. The rest would either be given to Mario or handled by Su Lan.

So, what he was considering now was how to trick Su Lan into staying on the third floor to help look after Yi Yi.

Soon, Liang Yu thought of a way to trick Su Lan, and then put on an act of doing it for her own good.

“Su Lan, I truly understand your thoughts.”

“And I know the determination you have now.”

“However, think about it yourself, even if I let you go out, how many Zerg could you kill?”

“Even if you could kill thousands, what good would it do?”

“You probably can’t kill them as fast as they reproduce.”

…

Under Liang Yu’s barrage of words, Su Lan had already begun to waver. She, too, knew what Liang Yu was saying.
