Gu Shangse pointed at the water surface where the large snake was hiding, "It's lurking there, ready to ambush us."
Su Ling had nothing to say about Gu Shangse's ability.
Turning her head, Su Ling followed Gu Shangse's instructions, focusing her attention on the water surface and concentrating.
Her mental powers could control zombies, so she wanted to try if it worked on animals too.
Su Ling felt that she was exerting force, but she wasn't sure if it had any effect.
This was her first time awakening this ability, so she was still in the learning phase.
Time ticked by, and the large snake lurking beneath the water didn't attack. Su Ling and Gu Shangse waited in vain.
Seeing that her mental powers seemed useless, Su Ling simply gave up.
As soon as she gave up, she saw bubbles rising to the surface and something slowly surfacing from the bottom.
By the time the object emerged, Su Ling and Gu Shangse clearly saw what it was – the large snake.
It seemed to have had a rough time in the water, surfacing and foaming at the mouth with its eyes rolling.
Su Ling thought that her mental powers had probably taken effect.
Looking at the comatose snake floating on the water, Su Ling threw a fireball onto its head.
The fireball, guided by Su Ling's will, engulfed the snake's head, quickly burning it to ashes, leaving only the body below.
Su Ling extended her Tang dao, hooked the snake, and with a strong pull, a large and long python appeared in the lifeboat.
Even Gu Shangse, seeing the python coiled up, large enough to rival an adult, felt a lingering fear.
This thing had been right behind him. If he had swum even a little slower, or if Su Ling hadn't intervened, he would have been in trouble. Read.
Su Ling placed the snake's neck outside the lifeboat, letting its blood drain out.
Gu Shangse had recovered and was rowing the lifeboat towards the department store.
Li Yunlong and Xu Lin on the rooftop, seeing that the two were unharmed and returning with a bounty, finally relaxed their worried hearts.
Upon reaching their destination, Su Ling and Gu Shangse used ropes to secure the python. On the rooftop, Xu Lin and Li Yunlong began to pull the rope.
Fatty and Skinny stood by, ready to take over when the first two got tired.
Soon, the headless python was pulled up. Gu Shangse and Su Ling then stood the lifeboat upright, secured it, and climbed up using the climbing ropes.
If Jiang Jiang's weather forecast was accurate, the torrential rain would stop tomorrow after lasting today.
Once the rain stopped, the water would recede, the sun would come out, and they would have to leave this place.
For Sister Na, Zhang Miaomiao, and Hanhan, seeing such a large snake up close was quite frightening.
Sister Na and Zhang Miaomiao were women, and this was their first time experiencing the apocalypse, so fear was understandable.
Hanhan was a child, who, despite being adaptable and sensible, was only two years old.
Only Su Ling, having lived two lives and having eaten snake meat before, was not afraid at all.
Su Ling stood aside, watching the four men, Xu Lin and the others, handle the python. Her voice was clear and cool, "Today, we're having a whole snake banquet."
Hearing this, Sister Na and Zhang Miaomiao looked at Su Ling in unison, their eyes filled with unspoken words.
Su Ling sensed their hesitation and turned her head slightly, "Snake meat is very nutritious and good for the body. I highly recommend you try some. It's a profitable investment."
She was uncharacteristically playful, her words bordering on cheeky.
Upon hearing her words, Sister Na and Zhang Miaomiao shook their heads repeatedly, waving their hands, their faces etched with resistance.
Seeing their outward and inward resistance, Su Ling stopped teasing them, "If you don't like it, you don't have to eat it. It doesn't matter."
