Natural Disasters Strikes: I stockpiled like crazy! novel Chapter 38

Nanzhi cut open the snake bodies and squeezed the pulp of the fruit inside letting the juice soaked its skin.

A magical scene happened. The juice was absorbed in its flesh. Nanzhi grinned before cutting the snake to pieces.

[Tier 1 Mutated Salacca- Emits a strong delicious fragrance that will lure Tier 1 abd below creature and if ingested will induced targets to sleep]

Right, the mutated salacca is already ripe and it bore three fruits. Nanzhi was quite satisfied at its benefits. The only problem was that it only produced few fruits.

When she was done, Nanzhi told the uncle to row ahead.

The walls of the private kitchen facing the walkway were all transparent glasses and the teachers could see from inside the creatures loitering in the walkway.

The hairs on the back of their backs stood and coldness creeps from their spine as they saw the snakes trying to find a way to enter the private kitchen.

The snakes they used to see in the laboratory were smaller compared to the ones outside, which seemed to be more than 10-feet long and big as a human thigh.

"Where did these snakes come from?"

Professor Zhang Heng leaned closer and inspected the snakes within his sight and his brows knitted.

"If I’m not wrong the ones outside is pit Viper, black-striped snake, white flower snake, rattle snake, sea krait, and rat snake, these snakes are often used for wind damp herbs but the species of the snakes outside is from a foreign country and they shouldn’t appear here."

"What does professor means by wind damp herbs?"

"Wind damp herbs are used for dealing with Bi syndrome and painful arthritic conditions but because some of the snakes used for creating the ’herb’ are highly poisonous. The government had banned them long ago which mean they were probably smuggled."

The teachers didn’t need further words to make them understand the grave situation they were in. If they were to get bitten, there was no medicine. They could only wait to die.

With the water level continuing to rise up, the building will sooner or later be flooded, water will swarmed in along with those snakes. They can either chose to die in drowning or toxin.

Beforehand, they were told to evacuate but they didn’t follow because they knew the conditions in evacuation were far worse than here.

Now that they recall it, their stomach churned in regret.

Professor Zhang Heng remembered the opened metal boxes he saw mixed with the debris and confirmed this conjecture.

His intuition was right from the start. The reason why he remained here was because of the research material the East Pearl University had recently obtained was very valuable and he came to get it.

The principal had offered him to conduct a seminar in exchanged for it.

He didn’t expect the flood to be this severe as the worst flood to ever recorded in history of Pearl City only reached the first floor.

Professor Zhang Heng could only lament his decision now.

Suddenly, one of the teachers wearing brown-rimmed glasses and black knitted turtleneck walked back and sat on a chair and tried to call the emergency rescue hotline. "We can’t stay here. We better call someone."

Drip—

A drop of water fell out of the grills of vent above the stove followed by another and it pooled onto a small puddle.

The hood on the roof is curved and therefore it wasn’t supposed to catch rain and so why was there water flowing in—
