Chapter 88 - 88

Chapter 88 Killing the Mutant Giant Python 1Lin Xiuxiu boiled a large pot of water in the biggest steamer, and everyone started soaking their feet together, each person sitting in the living room with a foot basin.Soaking her feet in hot water felt very comfortable. Su Xiaoyu looked at her fair little feet, which had turned red from being soaked in hot water."Xiao Yu, your feet are so white and tender!" Liu Hai said."Thank you for the compliment!"Liu Hai sensed something was off about the leader's gaze, so he didn't dare say anything more. He thought to himself that things were indeed different, and that his group of brothers had fallen behind.Su Xiaoyu thought her feet were quite white, and she had just taken them out of the water after soaking them for a while when Gu Lingxiaograbbed them. He dried them with a towel and then put socks on her.Anyone who didn't know better would think I'd done this many times, but actually today was the first time I'd soaked my feet in front of him.Su Xiaoyu felt her ears getting a little hot, so she put her socks back on and sat cross-legged.Gu Lingxiao poured the two people's foot bath water together and then took it to the bathroom to throw it away.Everyone else was used to all of this; the boss doted on Su Xiaoyu in an extraordinary way.Lin Xiuxiu was secretly watching the drama unfold, wondering when this unspoken understanding would finally be revealed.They didn't know that Su Xiaoyu was actually a girl, and they thought their interactions were normal. I really want to know what their expressions will be when they find out.Jin Jun waited for Lin Xiuxiu to finish washing her feet, but everyone else had finished, and her feet were still not out of the basin. There was nothing he could do but take care of it himself, scoop his wife's feet out of the basin, and dry them with a towel.He's just learning and applying what he's learned; look how good he is to Su Xiaoyu.Lin Xiuxiu hadn't expected that this rough-around-the-edges guy could be so meticulous; he actually learned it quite well.Just then.Liu Hai slapped his thigh. "Boss, did you guys encounter some kind of python today? I heard about it from other people when I came back."I meant to ask when I came in, but then I smelled the steamed buns and forgot all about it.Jin Jun glared at him, annoyed that he had talked too much.This was because he didn't want Lin Xiuxiu to know, fearing his wife would have nightmares at night.Lin Xiuxiu's expression changed drastically upon hearing about the giant python."What happened? Why didn't you mention it?"Su Xiaoyu: "Nothing serious happened, no need to talk about it. It's just that a python came out of the coal mine.""If there hadn't been another one, we would have caught that python, and we'd be eating it right now!"Lin Xiuxiu's face turned even paler, and she felt like vomiting. She covered her mouth and ran into the bathroom.Jin Jun was extremely anxious and immediately followed him to the bathroom.When Su Xiaoyu saw Lin Xiuxiu vomit, her first thought was of a scene from a TV drama: if a woman vomits, it's definitely because she's pregnant.But we prepared several boxes of condoms for them, so how did they still get pregnant?However, if she is indeed pregnant, it means that she will have a little baby to play with in a few months.It's quite interesting to think about, so after Lin Xiuxiu came out of the bathroom,"Xiuer, are you pregnant?"Upon hearing the news of her pregnancy, Lin Xiuxiu instinctively touched her stomach. Remembering that her period had only ended two days prior, she realized it was impossible for her to be pregnant. The looks she received from everyone told her that if she didn't explain, the misunderstanding would become much bigger."I'm not pregnant, but the thought of python meat makes me feel nauseous."Su Xiaoyu remembered the large snake they bought last time; Lin Xiuxiu vomited the moment she saw it, and afterwards they had to put it away and no one ate it. Su Xiaoyu poured her a glass of warm water, and saw that her complexion improved considerably after drinking it."It's alright, it's all over now, and we're back safely. On the contrary, the giant python was injured by us, and we don't know if it will survive. In short, we didn't suffer any losses!"Lin Xiuxiu: "That's good. Don't go to such dangerous places again next time."Jin Jun: "It was just a coincidence. I won't let it happen again next time."Lin Xiuxiu felt comforted and her mood wasn't as bad as before.Su Xiaoyu and Gu Lingxiao thought the matter of the giant python was resolved just like that, and didn't think much of it at all.After all, they were so far away, how could the python possibly catch up!The result was the morning of the second day.Someone discovered that the guard at the gate had been dragged away, leaving bloodstains and large drag marks on the ground.Many people know about Gu Lingxiao's encounter with the giant python yesterday while on a mission up the mountain.Li Haitao went to the doorway immediately to check. Based on his years of experience, he felt that the marks were left by a snake.Those two guards are probably in grave danger.He could only lead his men to find Gu Lingxiao. When they entered the house, they saw the whole family eating breakfast and drinking freshly squeezed soy milk, which smelled delicious.Gu Lingxiao, "Would you like some soy milk too?"Li Haitao nodded; he hadn't had soy milk in a long time either.Seeing that there were four people in total, Lin Xiuxiu went to fry four more bowls of soy milk, adding a lot of white sugar to them.There were also freshly baked meat patties on the table. Li Haitao sat down and remarked with a sigh."Your food is really good!"Gu Lingxiao: "It's alright, what are you doing here so early in the morning?"Li Haitao: "I'll tell you after I finish my soy milk, otherwise I won't be in the mood."Gu Lingxiao felt that something must have happened at the base, otherwise Li Haitaowouldn't have brought people over.After drinking soy milk and eating meat patties,Li Haitao felt better and finally spoke to them."When you went to the coal mine yesterday, did you injure a giant python?""That's right," Gu Lingxiao replied.Upon receiving confirmation, Li Haitao'sexpression grew even more anxious."Now the giant python has arrived and dragged away the two people guarding the door. There was a lot of blood on the ground, which stretched for more than 50 meters."After that, the bloodstains stopped, but the drag marks stretched for about three miles before the giant python went into the mountains and disappeared without a trace."You mean the giant python chased after us? How is that possible?" Gu Lingxiao frowned. He thought of another possibility: there might be giant pythons in the surrounding mountains as well."Nothing is impossible. Natural disasters can strike anytime these days, let alone a giant python." Li Haitao thought of the base he had worked so hard to build. "You guys caused this mess, you can't just ignore it!"Gu Lingxiao said, "We definitely need to manage them. For now, you need to restrain everyone and prevent them from going out. Let's observe the surrounding situation first."Li Haitao: "I heard you have guns. Do you have any other weapons?"Gu Lingxiao shook her head. "No, if the base has grenades, they can provide us with some. That would make it easier to kill the giant python."After considering for a moment, Li Haitao said, "I will send you another 20 people to help you kill the giant python."Gu Lingxiao waved her hand, "Not for now, let's see how things go first."The fewer people who know about usingSupernatural Ability, the better. Besides, this is his first time using it, and there are still many unknowns.Li Haitao thought the young man was really brave. After returning, he had 10 hand grenades sent over and sent guards to the base.
