Chapter 196 - 196 196 Problems First Update

196: Chapter 196: Problems (First Update) 196: Chapter 196: Problems (First Update) “Stop causing trouble for me.”

Su Mo chided irritably; he was already feeling uneasy, and these two idiots were still messing around.

“Okay, okay.”

Sun Duoxiang and Ma Ke hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Lan Xi felt a bit guilty seeing Sun Duoxiang and Ma Ke being scolded; she realized her reaction had been a bit excessive.

So she spoke up to redirect the attention, saying to Su Mo, “Most of the important potions have been sorted and packed into the backpacks; we’ll be done soon.”

“Mm, good job.

How did the rest of you fare with your search?”

Su Mo looked towards Zhang Hao and the others.

“Not great, a lot of things have been destroyed.

We’ve only found some low-value odds and ends.”

Zhang Hao shook his head, somewhat disappointed; he had thought they might find another potion storage.

“Uh, my findings weren’t great either, but I did find something good.”

Sun Duoxiang pulled out a potion bottle.

“What’s this?

Let me see.”

Lan Xi reached out curiously.

“Here.”

Sun Duoxiang handed her the potion bottle.

After carefully examining it for a while, Lan Xi said with slight surprise, “This is a TEC-03 adrenal frenzy pill, used to stimulate potential and sustain high-intensity combat for a short time.

However, the side effects are quite clear; after use, one may experience nausea, vomiting, and weakness among other symptoms.”

“I pulled it out of a corpse.

You have no idea how fierce that person was, literally grappling with zombies barehanded.

This potion’s effect is absolutely top-notch; I think it’s perfect for the boss.”

Sun Duoxiang recommended it to Su Mo as if looking for praise.

“It is indeed not bad for emergencies.”

Lan Xi then passed the potion bottle to Su Mo.

Su Mo accepted it without hesitation; though the potion had side effects, one never knew when it might come in handy.

“Mm, Ma Ke, did you find anything?”

Su Mo turned his head to look at Ma Ke.

“I found some potion vials and some surgical tools as well.”

Ma Ke also took out a bunch of stuff.

Lan Xi crouched down to carefully check the items and shook her head with a bit of regret, “They’re not of high value, just some common potions, probably only suitable for personal use.”

“Alright, continue searching everyone, and make it quick.

We’ll leave shortly.”

Su Mo instructed Sun Duoxiang and the others.

“Don’t worry, big brother!”

Sun Duoxiang slapped his chest, assuring him.

So Su Mo and Lan Xi headed towards the medicine storage room.

Only Sun Duoxiang and the other two remained, with Sun Duoxiang heaving a sigh of resignation, “When you’re down on your luck, even a sip of cold water gets stuck between your teeth.”

“Cough, cough, Brother Sun, you really are tough.”

Ma Ke and Zhang Hao could hardly hold back their laughter.

“Get lost, start searching, and don’t freak out, or you’ll drag me down with you.”

Sun Duoxiang retorted irritably.

“Okay!”

Ma Ke responded with a sheepish smile.

So Sun Duoxiang and Zhang Hao headed towards other rooms while Ma Ke continued to search the bodies on the ground.

As Ma Ke was searching the corpse on the ground, the sinister Resentment Snake’s rib-crossed chest suddenly lit up with a Heart of Radiant.

Meanwhile, in the base’s underground equipment storeroom, the giant refrigeration unit stopped operating the moment the base’s sealing doors opened, and it was rapidly purging the cold air.

Ma Ke felt as he touched the body, always sensing as if someone was watching him, so he looked up at the Resentment Snake again.

Aside from its unsettling eyes staring at him, everything else seemed normal, the once illuminated Heart of Radiant had faded again.

Ma Ke’s heart clenched suddenly, retreating instinctively in fear; something didn’t feel right about those eyes—they had definitely moved.

So, Ma Ke quickly walked towards Su Mo’s room, occasionally glancing back at the Resentment Snake.

Although the snake remained still, he felt increasingly panicked.

In the storage room, Su Mo and Lan Xi were doing a final check to see if there was anything important within the discarded potions.

“Brother Su Mo.”

At that moment, Ma Ke entered with an unnatural expression.

Turning to Ma Ke, Su Mo also noticed his troubled look, “What’s wrong?”

“I feel there’s something off about that snake.”

Ma Ke hesitated but still decided to tell Su Mo.

When Su Mo heard Ma Ke’s words, his gaze shifted slightly.

Keeping his composure, he said to Ma Ke, “Take it slow and tell me.”

“Well, I was examining the bodies in the laboratory hall earlier, and I felt like something was staring at me.

Then I looked up at the snake.

That’s when I felt its eyes move, and it really startled me.

Later, Sun Duoxiang saw me, and he laughed at me.

Then we had the argument you saw.

But just now, as I continued searching, I still felt something was off—I think the snake’s eyes moved.”

Ma Ke, not caring about losing face, gave Su Mo the full picture.

Su Mo turned to Lan Xi and said, “Lan Xi, pack up the things.

I’m going to check it out.

If something is not right, we retreat!”

“Okay.”

Lan Xi nodded in response.

Thus, Su Mo and Ma Ke went out to approach the Resentment Snake.

At this time, Sun Duoxiang also heard the commotion and ran over to join in the excitement.

“Boss, what are you guys up to?”

Su Mo didn’t respond to Sun Duoxiang but walked up to the Resentment Snake, carefully observing the monster.

He used the Black Steel Second Generation Mecha’s scanning device once again to scan the creature.

A prompt popped up.

“No life characteristics detected.”

“Oh, boss, did you listen to Ma Ke’s babbling?

This kid must be scared out of his wits.

This snake has long been dead.

Don’t believe me?

I’ll demonstrate it for you.”

Sun Duoxiang kicked the Resentment Snake twice, and the creature still didn’t react at all.

Su Mo’s brows furrowed slightly.

His mind was racing; he felt there was something amiss.

But in that moment, he couldn’t put his finger on what exactly was wrong.

Just then, Su Mo suddenly noticed that the frost on the body of the Resentment Snake seemed to have melted slightly.

Su Mo’s nerves tensed sharply.

He knew what was amiss—the temperature.

The temperature had risen!

It wasn’t as cold as before anymore!

No wonder Sun Duoxiang’s peeing didn’t freeze his private parts.

Normally, at minus one hundred degrees, exposing himself would have been suicidal, yet he was unharmed.

Furthermore, because the combat suit automatically adjusts the temperature, that’s why he hadn’t realized it right away.

“Zhang Hao, Lan Xi, retreat!”

Su Mo reached out to pull Ma Ke and Sun Duoxiang back while shouting!

“No, no, it’s not….”

Sun Duoxiang still wanted to say something.

In an instant, the Heart of Radiant in the chest of the formidable Resentment Snake lit up again, and it abruptly came to life, its numerous black eyes suddenly opening wide.

“Damn it!

Mommy!”

Sun Duoxiang’s face turned pale with fear.

At that moment, Zhang Hao and Lan Xi also ran out, and Lan Xi was even holding three full backpacks.

The Resentment Snake let out a thunderous roar and opened its maw wide, biting towards the trio of Su Mo.

“Dodge!”
