ah!

A terrified scream pierced the night sky.

In the flood, a group of enormous water snakes were flicking their tongues, attacking the people sitting in the speedboats.

The people in the assault boat were terrified by the water snake.

They drew their knives to defend themselves, but the water snake was enormous. Instead of killing it, it enraged them and opened its blood-red maw.

A living person was swallowed up like that!

The smell of blood attracted even more water snakes.

The people in that assault boat were quickly surrounded by a swarm of snakes.

Through night vision goggles, Qin Su saw that Gu Mobai was also among them.

Watching him cry for help in terror amidst the swarm of snakes, she felt no emotion whatsoever.

Bang!

An explosion rang out, and the sky outside was set ablaze with flames.

As the explosion occurred, sulfur powder fell through the air.

The snakes smelled the sulfur and scattered!

The city returned to calm, but that night, no one dared to sleep, fearing that the swarm of water snakes would attack again.

In the middle of the night, Dr. Li rushed over again to ask Qin Su about the snakes.

"Dr. Li, many creatures outside are starting to mutate. We need to be prepared."

Qin Su did not hide anything and told Dr. Li about her discovery.

"Heavens, is this a death sentence for humanity?"

Dr. Li was shocked. The floods were spreading, land was shrinking, and agriculture was limited; survival was already difficult enough. Now, animals were the first to mutate and attack humans, making human survival even less likely.

"Dr. Li, have you caught the water snake?"

The mutations in these water snakes are clearly more advanced than those in mice.

Species do mutate, but how could they mutate so quickly? Qin Su couldn't help but wonder if these mutations were also caused by human error.

"have!"

Without hesitation, Dr. Li took Qin Su to the laboratory.

In the laboratory, the captured water snake was tens of meters long, with a wide head, a blood-red tongue, and eyes as big as copper bells.

"Miss, danger!"

Huo Sijin stood in front of Qin Su, watching the water snake warily.

This enormous thing looked at Qin Su as if she were a plate of delicious food.

A stench emanated from it, making the entire laboratory feel like it was filled with fermenting rotten eggs; you could smell it even through a mask.

“Dr. Li, this snake should be resistant to drugs. We used a liter of anesthetic and it didn’t work.”

The researcher was covered in sweat, and his eyes were filled with horror.

The snake kept hitting the cage, and I had a feeling it was going to break open.

Clang!

Just then, one of the steel bars in the cage was snapped by the water snake's tail.

The water snake continued its attack, and the cage quickly became deformed.

"Run! Run!"

The researchers scattered in fright, and Dr. Li, pale-faced, looked at Qin Su for help.

"Miss Qin, do you have any way to control it?"

Huo Sijin looked at them coldly. How could they have the nerve to hand over such a big problem to a weak woman?

Dr. Li shuddered, unsure whether he was startled by the water snake or by Huo Sijin.

"Master, could you aim for his head?"

Qin Su took out a special anesthetic, which she had made while researching mice. Now, to deal with this giant water snake, she used fifty times the dosage!

"Can!"

Huo Sijin took the tranquilizer gun, squinted slightly, aimed at the huge tongue, and pulled the trigger.

Bang!

Target hit!

The water snake, under attack, became increasingly ferocious, and the cage was completely deformed by its massive body.

Boom!

The cage shattered with a crack, and the water snake opened its mouth wide, lunging at the three of them.

Dr. Li was so frightened that he lost his voice and quickly stepped in front of Qin Su.

Huo Sijin leaped forward, facing the huge snake's mouth, and jumped onto its head, plunging the knife in his hand deep into the snake's head.

Roar roar roar...

The water snake, in pain, thrashed about, trying to shake off Huo Sijin on its head.

Huo Sijin steadied herself and launched another attack on the snake's head.

After a fierce struggle, the water snake went completely limp.

thump!

Dr. Li was so frightened that he knelt on the ground.

"Miss, are you alright?"

Huo Sijin jumped off the snake's head and stopped three meters away from Qin Su.

He was covered in the stench of water snakes and didn't want to offend her.

"I'm fine, how are you?"

Qin Su was more worried about Huo Sijin. That water snake could swallow a person whole. Where did he get the courage to charge at the snake's head?

Her body was still trembling, but she rushed to him anxiously to see if he was hurt.

"Miss, I'm fine."

Huo Sijin took a step back.

"Miss, I smell bad, please stay away from me."

Qin Su's eyes reddened. At a time like this, why bother talking about whether it smells bad or not?

"I don't mind, come here."

She wasn't at ease until she was certain he was alright.

Huo Sijin then went over and let her examine her body.

Apart from a few scratches, he was actually fine.

Qin Su finally felt relieved after the inspection was completed.

"Miss Qin, what should we do with this water snake?"

After recovering, Dr. Li was troubled by the dead water snake.

The water snake itself was smelly, but after it died, the stench seemed to get even worse.

"Let's dissect it and take a look."

Species mutations always leave traces. Since we've encountered a mutated water snake, we must investigate it thoroughly.

Dr. Li was surprised by her composure; he was almost eaten by a snake, and he still feels a bit weak.

However, as a researcher, he quickly calmed down and called in other researchers.

"It smells so bad, and it's so big, how can we dissect it?"

As soon as everyone entered, they were so overwhelmed by the stench that they dared not approach.

"Put on your gas masks. This water snake mutation is serious; we must find the cause as soon as possible."

Dr. Li led the way to the water snake, and then everyone else followed.

During the dissection, no one wanted to get close, let alone cut open the snake's belly with a knife.

Dr. Li sighed and personally took the knife and went over.

But he was just a frail researcher; he had the courage, but not the strength, to dissect such a large water snake.

Qin Su went to help, but was stopped by Huo Sijin.

"You're not strong enough to cut it open."

"You tell me, I'll do it."

Qin Su didn't hold back either; she knew that her weak body was powerless against the water snake.

“Start cutting along the belly, three inches from the snake’s head, all the way to the tail…”

The knife in Huo Sijin's hand seemed to be embedded in Qin Su's heart; every cut left a mark exactly as Qin Su had described.

The water snake's belly was cut open, exposing its internal organs and enormous intestines.

ah!

"It...it has someone inside it!"

A human figure struggled inside the water snake's intestines. Huo Sijin stepped forward again, cut open the intestines, and the person inside rolled out.

Now free, the man greedily inhaled the air, his gaze fixed intently on Qin Su.

"Susu, save me..."

It was Gu Mobai!

Qin Su looked away and focused her gaze on the water snake.

Her task today is dissection and research; as for the irrelevant people, why should she care?
