Chapter 181 The Mutated Snake Girl
The woman quickly closed her eyes and covered her face with her hands in fear.
However, the back of the hand and arm that were suddenly exposed were faintly flashing with green scales. The green light hidden under the skin was beautiful and weird.
"Don't look at me! I-I'm not a monster!"
Lu Yanran suddenly shrank into a corner in fear, stretched her hands out from the fabric, hugged her knees and trembled.
She instinctively felt a comfortable energy from Hua Yang, but was afraid to get too close to this strange woman.
The deep blue water energy emanating from Hua Yang's body is like a soothing potion. When you get close to her, she will feel relaxed.
Hua Yang raised her hand and slowly reached towards her, finally touching the top of her head.
The deep blue energy rippled, and when it touched Lu Yanran, it actually wrapped her up.
Lu Yanran, who was nervous just now, relaxed a little after being wrapped in the deep blue energy.
She raised her head and slowly looked at Hua Yang, then lifted the cloth covering her face, revealing an ordinary-looking face. However, the cheeks, chin, and brow bones of this face were covered with blue scales that were originally human skin.
"What are you doing?"
Lu Yanran was a little surprised by Hua Yang's lack of surprise. She really liked Hua Yang's energy, which made her relax and reduce the pain caused by the changes in her body.
"I, I am a human." Lu Yanran still said tremblingly, but everything that happened after the end of the world really made her doubt whether she was still a human being.
The sound of footsteps came from upstairs.
Li Xiaoyu brought Xiao Ming and Yaya down from upstairs. When they saw Hua Yang and the strange woman with snake scales on her face, they were all shocked and stood there in a daze.
When Lu Yanran saw the three people coming over, she suddenly hid behind Hua Yang in fear.
Hua Yang turned around and patted her shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you."
Lu Yanran's eyes suddenly narrowed into a line. After opening her mouth, her tongue curled into a circle, and the sound she made when she breathed was similar to the "hissing" sound of a snake.
"This is my mother and brother, this is Yaya, don't be afraid."
At this moment, Hua Yang suddenly felt that Xiao Ming once again emitted that black spiritual energy magnetic field. The energy swept through the air and touched the snake girl in front of her little by little.
Strangely enough, after the snake girl came into contact with Xiao Ming's magnetic field, she seemed to completely relax. Her glasses slowly returned to normal human eyes, and even the scales on her skin gradually dimmed and disappeared.
Hua Yang comforted the strange woman in front of her, and then said to Li Xiaoyu: "Mom, don't worry about me, take Yaya out to play first. Xiao Ming, you stay."
Xiao Ming nodded, walked quietly towards Hua Yang, squatted beside the snake girl, and looked at her curiously. The snake girl also seemed not so afraid of Xiao Ming, and looked at Xiao Ming with a pair of clear eyes.
"This is my brother Xiao Ming. What's your name? Can I ask what happened to you? Why do I feel like there's something wrong with your animal ability?"
Hua Yang handed some mineral water to the snake girl in front of her. Seeing that she drank the water in one gulp and still wanted more, Hua Yang poured her another glass.
Although the people in her family most often drank the spiritual water from her space, she still took out a bucket of bottled water that she had moved into the space from the supermarket and placed it in the kitchen. On the one hand, it was for her family's daily drinking, and on the other hand, it could be used as a cover for the spiritual water given to her.
"My name is Yan Lu Yanran. I don't know what happened to me. I suddenly became like this after the end of the world. At first I just felt pain in my body, and later snake scales started to appear on my body." Lu Yanran said as she took a few gulps of water. Every time she swallowed, green snake scales were faintly visible on her neck.
Hua Yang asked curiously, "Did anything strange happen to you before the end of the world? For example, were you bitten by a snake? Or did you ever keep snakes at home?"
Lu Yanran's eyes suddenly flickered, she hesitated for a long time, then looked up to meet Hua Yang's eyes.
"My brother and I are snake keepers in the conservation area of Haicheng Zoo."
"You mean, your brother is the same as you?"
Lu Yanran nodded, tears suddenly flashed in her eyes, "My brother suffers every day because of me. I don't know why, since he became like this, every time new scales grow, it's very painful! And we have to ingest new snake venom to relieve the pain in our bodies."
Hua Yang finally understood, "So your mission target is live venomous snakes? But why sea snakes?"
"Because, because land snakes have no effect on me. So, I want to try to see if sea snakes can be useful."
Xiao Ming's body suddenly flashed with black magnetic fields. He looked at Lu Yanran and said, "Sister Hua Yang, she's lying!"
Xiao Ming's words shocked Lu Yanran, and she looked at him in disbelief, "I, I didn't."
Since Xiao Ming was able to sense Lin Shuyuan's cry for help when he was in Tianlan City, and Xiao Ming is a psychic type of mutant, although his ability is currently only to control living things, it seems that Xiao Ming's ability is more than that.
Hua Yang looked at Xiao Ming and asked, "Xiao Ming, tell me, how did my sister lie?"
"She said she wanted a poisonous sea snake, not one for herself!"
Xiao Ming's words surprised Lu Yanran. How did this kid know that? Did he also know about his brother's affairs?
"Sister Hua Yang, she..."
Hua Yang saw the change in Lu Yanran's expression and knew that what Xiao Ming said was correct. So she interrupted Xiao Ming and said, "Xiao Ming, I have something else to do right now. Go check if Da Bai is awake. We will think of a way to wake Da Bai up soon."
Xiao Ming nodded obediently and went to his bedroom on the second floor.
Dabai has been sleeping for two days and still hasn't woken up, just like Xiaobai in the Flower Space. However, Dabai has been experiencing some energy fluctuations all over his body since this morning, and Xiaoming, who has a spiritual connection with him, can feel it.
But the little white tiger in the Huayang Space didn't move at all.
After watching Xiao Ming leave, Lu Yanran suddenly pursed her lips, looked at Hua Yang and said, "Miss Hua, is it important that I didn't lie? What's important is that I need a living venomous sea snake. You want my reward, don't you!"
Although Lu Yanran tried to look at Hua Yang calmly and negotiate terms with her, the uncertainty in her heart still made her retreat a little.
Hua Yang smiled and said, "I am very interested in your reward. However, if your mission target is really that easy to obtain, I don't think you would risk disguising yourself to post the mission, right?"
Hua Yang stared at the cloth wrapped around Lu Yanran. Her calm and indifferent look made Lu Yanran's heart sink.
She didn't know why she felt so close to the energy emanating from Hua Yang. She felt very comfortable as long as she was close to her. The pain on her skin was no longer so severe.
"Don't tell me you don't know what's happening in the ocean right now. If someone with ulterior motives discovers your appearance, at best you'll be chased away as a monster, but at worst you'll be captured and killed as a mutant. You'd risk your life to go to the mission hall like this, so you must be desperate, right? If the things in the ocean were so good, you wouldn't have posted any missions."
Lu Yanran bit her lip and looked at Hua Yang, then suddenly sat down on the ground dejectedly.
“I, I!”
"And I assure you, in the entire Haicheng base, no one except me, Hua Yang, can help you get the poisonous sea snake."
As Lu Yanran listened to Hua Yang's words, something in her eyes wavered.
"So, for a mission with such a high risk factor, I should investigate the background of the person who issued the mission and whether the reward is true. Is that not too much?"
