"Don't mess things up for me again."

Su Mo reprimanded them, annoyed. He was already feeling uneasy, and these two idiots were making a mess of things.

"Okay, okay."

Sun Duoxiang and Mark nodded quickly in response.

Lan Xi felt a little guilty seeing Sun Duoxiang and Mark being scolded, as her reaction had indeed been a bit excessive. So she changed the subject, saying to Su Mo, "Most of the important potions here have been sorted and packed into the backpacks. It'll be done in a little while."

"Good job. How's your search going?"

Su Mo looked at Zhang Hao and the others.

"Not ideal. A lot of stuff was destroyed. We only found some odds and ends that aren't worth much."

Zhang Hao shook his head with some disappointment. He had originally thought he could find another potion stockpile.

"Uh, mine isn't very ideal either, but I did find something good."

Sun Duoxiang took out a vial.

"What's this? Let me see."

Lan Xi reached out curiously.

"Here."

Sun Duoxiang handed the vial to Lan Xi.

Lan Xi examined it carefully and said with slight surprise, "This is a teC-03 type Adrenaline Frenzy pill. It's used to stimulate potential and maintain high-intensity combat for a short period. But the side effects are also obvious. People who use it will experience nausea, vomiting, weakness, and the like."

"I pulled it out of a corpse. You have no idea how ferocious that person was. They were actually fighting zombies hand-to-hand. This stuff is definitely the real deal. I think it would be perfect for Boss."

Sun Duoxiang recommended it to Su Mo as if he was trying to curry favor.

"It's pretty good for emergencies."

Lan Xi handed the vial to Su Mo.

Su Mo took it without hesitation. Although the medicine had side effects, it was hard to say when it might be needed.

"Well, Mark, what did you find?"

Su Mo turned to look at Mark.

"I also found some vials and some surgical tools."

Mark also took out a pile of things.

Lan Xi squatted down to examine them carefully, then shook her head with a bit of regret, saying, "Not worth much. Just some ordinary potions. Probably only suitable for personal use."

"Alright, everyone keep searching. Move faster. We're leaving in a bit."

Su Mo instructed Sun Duoxiang and the others.

"Don't worry, Big Brother!"

Sun Duoxiang patted his chest to assure him.

Then Su Mo and Lan Xi walked towards the medicine storage room.

Leaving Sun Duoxiang and the other two standing where they were, Sun Duoxiang sighed helplessly and said, "When you're down on your luck, even drinking cold water gets stuck between your teeth."

"Ahem, Brother Sun, you're quite the brave one."

Mark and Zhang Hao almost burst out laughing.

"Screw off, hurry up and search. Don't be so jumpy, you'll screw me over too."

Sun Duoxiang complained irritably.

"Okay!"

Mark responded with a smile.

Then Sun Duoxiang and Zhang Hao walked towards other rooms, while Mark continued to search the dead bodies on the ground.

Just as Mark was groping the corpse on the ground, inside the ribcage of the hideous Grudge-Sin Serpent, the Heat-Radiation Heart suddenly lit up.

Meanwhile, inside the base's underground equipment depot, the giant freezer stopped running as soon as the base's sealed door opened, and was rapidly venting cold air.

As Mark groped the corpse, he felt like someone was staring at him, so he raised his head again to look at the Grudge-Sin Serpent.

Apart from its eerie eyeballs staring at him, everything else seemed normal. The Heat-Radiation Heart that had lit up dimmed again.

Mark's heart clenched, and he instinctively took a step back in fear. He felt that something was wrong. Those eyeballs definitely moved.

So Mark strode towards Su Mo's room. He kept looking back at the Grudge-Sin Serpent. Although the snake still didn't move, he felt increasingly panicked.

Inside the storage room, Su Mo and Lan Xi were doing a final check to see if there were any important potions among those they were discarding.

"Brother Su Mo."

At this moment, Mark walked in with an unnatural expression.

Su Mo turned to look at Mark and noticed his strange expression. "What's wrong?"

"I feel like that snake is acting weird."

Mark hesitated for a moment, then told Su Mo.

Su Mo's eyes flickered when he heard Mark's words. He calmed himself and said to Mark, "Tell me slowly."

"Wasn't I just checking those corpses in the lab hall? I felt like something was staring at me, so I raised my head and looked at that snake. I felt like its eyes moved, and it gave me a big scare. Later, Sun Duoxiang saw it, and he laughed at me, and then the two of us started arguing, which is what you saw. But just now when I was continuing to search, I still felt like something was wrong, like the snake's eyes moved."

Mark didn't care about embarrassing himself and explained the situation directly to Su Mo.

Su Mo turned to Lan Xi and said, "Lan Xi, pack up the stuff. I'll go take a look. If something's wrong, we'll retreat!"

"Okay."

Lan Xi nodded in response.

Then Su Mo and Mark walked out and approached the Grudge-Sin Serpent.

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

"Boss, what are you guys doing?"

Su Mo didn't answer Sun Duoxiang, but walked to the front of the Grudge-Sin Serpent and carefully observed the monster. He used the Black Steel II armor's scanning device again to scan the monster.

A prompt popped up.

"No signs of life detected."

"Hey, Boss, did you listen to Mark? This kid is definitely scared out of his wits. This snake monster has been dead for a long time. I'll show you."

Sun Duoxiang went up and kicked the Grudge-Sin Serpent twice, but the monster didn't react at all.

Su Mo frowned slightly. His mind was racing. He felt like something was wrong.

But he couldn't put his finger on what it was.

Just then, Su Mo suddenly noticed that the frost on the Grudge-Sin Serpent seemed to be melting slightly.

Su Mo's nerves tightened. He knew what was wrong: the temperature.

The temperature was rising! It wasn't as cold as before!

No wonder Sun Duoxiang was able to relieve himself without freezing his little brother. Under normal circumstances, at minus 100 degrees Celsius, Sun Duoxiang exposing his little brother would be an act of suicide. But nothing happened to him.

Also, because the combat suit automatically regulated the temperature, he didn't notice it right away.

"Zhang Hao, Lan Xi, retreat!"

Su Mo reached out and grabbed Sun Duoxiang and Mark's arms, pulling them back, while shouting!

"No, it's not..."

Sun Duoxiang wanted to say something.

In an instant, the Heat-Radiation Heart in the chest of the terrifying Grudge-Sin Serpent lit up again, and it instantly came alive. The black eyeballs all over its body suddenly opened.

"Holy crap! Mom!"

Sun Duoxiang was so scared that his face turned green.

At this time, Zhang Hao and Lan Xi also ran out, and Lan Xi was dragging three full backpacks. The Grudge-Sin Serpent let out a deafening roar, then opened its bloody mouth and bit at Su Mo and the others.

"Dodge!"
