Chapter 1414 - 1410: Unexpected Research Material

The person lying on the ground occasionally spits out a mouthful of blood, presenting a truly tragic scene.

Yun Ran still has the leisure to speak cynically: "Tsk tsk tsk, look at you all, acting before you even understand the situation. Now who’s at a disadvantage~"

The refugees: ...

Damn it, just bullying them because they’re weaklings, huh!

Previously it was said villains die of talking too much, now they’re saying that they deserve it for not explaining clearly.

Unfortunately, at this moment the refugees only feel pain all over, and when they open their mouths, they spit blood, making them unable to question but only rant in their hearts.

Finally, Yun Ran is willing to move her butt and changes her position to cross her legs.

If only someone could pour her a pot of tea right now, it would be perfect.

"Alright, let’s talk then. Who are you people really? What do you want? Confess for leniency, resist for severity!"

Seemingly feeling her authority isn’t enough, Yun Ran lightly snaps her fingers a few times.

The next second, in the mountain hollow, a rustling sound emerges from who knows where, amplifying with the echo in this environment.

This kind of rustling sound truly makes one’s skin crawl.

Especially given that those refugees are severely injured and unable to flee easily, the sound is as if dancing on their scalps.

When the source of the rustling sound appears, the refugees are beyond mere scalp tingling.

Any exposed skin is visibly covered in goosebumps.

Seven or eight multicolored snakes stare them down from afar, partly raised, creating an immense sense of oppression.

The snakes humanely glance at Yun Ran, then turn to look fiercely at the refugees lying on the ground.

It seems that with just one word from Yun Ran, they would madly rush to bite the refugees’ flesh.

Anyone with even a little common sense knows the more colorful a snake, the deadlier the poison.

The once proud refugees who refused to bow now aren’t spitting blood; they just have terrified expressions.

Their eyes widen significantly, looking as if they’ve nearly forgotten how to breathe.

Just when Yun Ran thinks she doesn’t need to exert much effort to get a confession.

The situation takes a turn that leaves Yun Ran utterly dumbfounded.

The leading refugee, after a moment of terror, reveals eyes full of despair yet fierce determination, evidently unwilling to let Yun Ran succeed.

"Don’t think you can get anything from our mouths!"

No one knows what the lead refugee does, but his body starts rapidly turning from normal human skin color to black, and his eyes begin to gradually take on a dark hue.

A perfectly fine human starts undergoing transformation, and not only that, they happen to be on the mountain hollow’s windward side.

A few seconds later, an indescribably foul smell begins to spread...

Yun Ran: ...

Goodness, she seems to be constantly dealing with these black and stinky things.

Just handled a batch, and here comes another.

She was just preparing to raise her hand to summon lightning when she noticed that those refugees not only aren’t spitting blood anymore, but they can even stand up.

Yun Ran’s hand pauses momentarily, feeling that this scene is eerily familiar.

"This look, let me think..."

Suddenly, Yun Ran’s eyes light up, and she fiercely slaps her thigh.

"Damn, I remember now! Isn’t this just like that Living Dead Puppet I encountered when I first arrived in this world and met Xie Xuzhi for the first time!"

The two are highly similar, if there is any difference, it’s that the Living Dead Puppet looks more advanced.

The blackened entities in front of her appear like the frenzied initial version that has lost its reason!

Back then, Yun Ran had no authority, wasn’t familiar with Xie Xuzhi, so she wasn’t qualified to participate in that case from beginning to end.

Naturally, she doesn’t know the details of that case, the only thing she knows is the Living Dead Puppet itself.

Alas, such a pity.

If she knew the internal details of the case, maybe she could have recognized someone infected like this upon first meeting.

Wasted time for nothing.

But it’s not too late now; Yun Ran is embarrassed to use the Young Prince as research material.

These few people dare to attack her, even able to rapidly switch between human and infected states, making them the best research material.

Hehe, it’s a windfall~

Now Yun Ran doesn’t mind the stench of these people when they rush towards her.

Yun Ran raises her hand, and a thin black rope seems to come alive, binding the refugees tightly.

Having caught this unforeseen research material, Yun Ran doesn’t remain seated.

Another gust of wind blows, making the foul odor even more prominent.

"It’s getting really stinky now, if others saw this, they’d probably think my hobbies are odd!"

To prevent people from thinking her strange, Yun Ran raises her hand and sticks several talismans on these people.

Some to mask the odor, some Ignore Talismans, and a few Isolation Talismans.

This way, she can not only isolate the smell of their aura but also make most people unaware of their existence.

People are tied, now to drag them back.

Several refugees combined weigh hundreds of pounds.

When binding them, Yun Ran didn’t think much, but now trying to move them back, she suddenly halts.

Since refining Little Paperman, Yun Ran has genuinely become the manager who washes her hands off things, doing no manual labor at all.

Now, she’s crafted dozens of Little Papermen, yet not a single one is with her now.

This grunt work must be done by herself.

Yun Ran: ...

Truly, it’s easy to go from frugality to luxury, difficult the other way around.

Yun Ran looks at the people lying on the ground, glances at her fair hands, and deeply sighs.

If she had known, she would have left a Little Paperman by her side to do chores no matter what.

In the end, Yun Ran accepts fate and starts working herself, pulling the rope with one hand, dragging the tightly bound refugees like pigs.

Before leaving, Yun Ran raises her other hand, takes out a bottle of pills from her bag, and pours them all out.

Then, she tosses them accurately in front of the snakes that came out to assist her.

"These pills are your thank-you gift. Lately, the mountains are swarming with people, you should hide and avoid biting anyone, best not to get caught!"

No one knows if these snakes gained some mortal opportunity, they’re on the cusp of unlocking their spiritual wisdom, one mere step away from breaking through.

To meet Yun Ran now is their luck, saving them a lot of detours.
