A Snake Transmigrated as a Scum A (GL) - Chapter 27
That venomous snake ultimately faced the “exclusion” of fate, being forced to leave the cave and depart from Fu Man.
At night, before going to bed, Fu Man recalled the scene of the snake leaving, and she could feel the snake leaving with a sense of resentment.
Fu Man turned her head to look at Li Yingxue beside her, thinking about her own identity, thinking about her beautiful silver snake tail…
Her gaze flickered, and Fu Man turned over, facing away from the past.
After a moment, Li Yingxue, who had been lying on her back, slowly opened her eyes upon sensing her movement, turned her head to look at the woman who had been sleeping either on her back or facing her every night for the past few days, and suddenly flipped over.
“……”
Li Yingxue stared with a complex expression for a few seconds, then coldly withdrew her gaze and continued to sleep.
The next day, a few people went out to assess the situation and look for food, while the venomous snake dutifully returned to the cave to keep watch.
When the four of them passed by the stream, they found the several Alphas and the remaining Omegas and Betas gathered and camped on a clearing by the river.
From the bruised faces of those Alphas, it’s not hard to tell that this group has probably gone through another internal conflict, and Li Shengkai has turned into a quail, standing on the edge, looking crazy and foolish.
As Fu Man and the others passed by, the people on the opposite side looked over with complex expressions—hostile, hopeful, fearful of being plundered… It wasn’t until Fu Man and the others entered the forest that they reluctantly withdrew their gazes, each with their own thoughts.
Arriving at the seaside, the group found the boat they had come in. Although it was already broken and unable to sail, they still hoped to find something useful.
A few people stepped onto the deck, following Li Yingxue into the cabin.
The cabin is in a very dilapidated state, probably because seawater has flooded in, causing some equipment to corrode severely.
Di You saw the inside was messy and dirty, squatted down to flip over a cover that had fallen from who knows where, and said disappointedly, “It’s probably been completely looted by those people, there’s nothing left.”
Li Yingxue then went to the cockpit to see if she could start it.
Tang Youyi was also looking around.
Only Fu Man, with her arms crossed, strolled leisurely, looking east and west, sniffing a bit, and furrowing her brows.
“Did you guys smell anything?”
“What kind of smell?”
Di You looked up, sniffed the air, and said, “Nope, does the smell of seawater count?”
Tang Youyi shook her head.
Fu Man looked at Li Yingxue, who had just come out of the driver’s seat. Li Yingxue coldly replied with two words, “No.”
Fu Man sniffed again, and that scent had actually disappeared.
Di You noticed her skepticism and asked, “Sister Fu Man, do you smell something?”
“It’s just… the scent of the mandrake flower, have you all smelled it?”
Di You and Tang Youyi shook their heads in unison: “No.”
Fu Man pressed her lips tightly together and said nothing.
Li Yingxue spoke up at this moment: “Let’s go, we need to solve the food problem first. There’s nothing useful here.”
With Fu Man as the backbone and Li y as the think tank, Di You and Tang Youyi had no objections to her orders.
“Okay.”
The jungle is never short of animals; what it lacks is the skill to hunt them.
Fortunately, Fu Man and Li Yingxue both have exceptional hunting skills.
Di You and Tang Youyi watched as the two expertly coordinated to complete a rabbit hunt, secretly clicking their tongues in admiration.
As an Alpha, Fu Man’s strong abilities weren’t particularly surprising, but Li Yingxue was an Omega. Not only was she agile, but her sharpness was on par with an Alpha. After learning that Li Yingxue was an Omega, Di You and Tang Youyi’s opinions of her went from doubt to shock, and finally to acceptance, all in less than an hour.
When the team was on their way back, Di You couldn’t help but ask, “Captain, are you really an Omega?”
Li Yingxue glanced at her, gave a nonchalant “hm,” and said nothing more.
Di You didn’t know what to think, first glancing at Tang Youyi’s figure, then looking at Li Yingxue: “So why weren’t you affected by those Alpha pheromones yesterday?”
Li Yingxue paused for a moment and ignored her.
Di You was about to continue asking when Fu Man interrupted her, saying, “Why ask so many questions? She’s your captain.”
Di You, realizing belatedly that this question might be offensive, sulkily kept quiet: “Oh…”
Li Yingxue, who was walking ahead, heard the conversation behind her, slightly lowered her eyes, and pressed her thin lips together.
Just like that, three peaceful days passed. Those Alphas didn’t come over to seize resources; if they accidentally encountered them while hunting, they would take a detour.
Perhaps these days everyone has seen the contributions of the Viper, which has a deterrent effect on those Alphas. Di You and Tang Youyi have gradually accepted this member’s presence.
Of course, except for Li Yingxue.
That morning, Di You felt a bit unwell and developed a low-grade fever.
“I want to go back…” Perhaps the discomfort in her body made Di You’s heart even more fragile. After all, she was still a student. The upheavals of these days had forced her to suppress her taut nerves, but they eventually snapped, and she cried out loud.
“I want to go back to M City, boo hoo, I miss my parents so much. I haven’t been back for so long, they must think something happened to me.”
“Why did I agree to this variety show, sob sob sob, I just wanted to make some money, sob sob sob…”
“I want to go back—”
Right now, there’s no money, and I can’t go back.
The entire cave echoed with Di You’s cries.
Tang Youyi hugged her and comforted her, saying, “Don’t cry, we’ll go back. Don’t cry, Di You. Let’s conserve our energy, and when the rescuers arrive, we can go back.”
Di You’s eyes were red from crying: “I don’t believe it. No one is coming. Sooner or later, we will die here.”
Fu Man and Li Yingxue stood outside the tent, exchanged a glance, and felt heavy-hearted.
Not long after, perhaps tired from crying, Di You fell asleep.
Di You couldn’t go out hunting with the team. Although the venomous snake was coiling outside the tent, keeping watch, Tang Youyi still couldn’t feel at ease about her.
“Captain, Fu Man, you go ahead. I’ll take care of her here.”
So, the only ones going out to hunt were Fu Man and Li Yingxue.
The two of them descended the mountain, one after the other.
“Li Yingxue… don’t you also want to go back?” Fu Man asked her.
Li Yingxue’s tone remained cold: “I don’t think it will work.”
No one came to rescue her; she thought it was just a fantasy.
Fu Man: “So, would you be scared?”
Li Yingxue: “What should I be afraid of?”
Fu Man: “No one will ever come, just living on this island for a lifetime… with me.”
Hearing the first half of the sentence, Li Yingxue originally wanted to respond, but upon hearing the last two words, she shot a glare and ignored her completely.
“……”
Fu Man’s lips curled up as she followed behind her: “Don’t worry, we won’t get lost.”
Even if she used spiritual power for transportation, she could still carry Li Yingxue across the ocean back to M City.
It’s just that this way, it will inevitably let Li Yingxue know that she is a snake.
Suddenly, Li Yingxue stopped. Fu Man thought she had been moved by her words and was about to speak, but Li Yingxue became alert: “There’s someone in the bushes ahead.”
Fu Man finally focused her attention on the bushes ahead, glanced at Li Yingxue, and said, “Let’s go.”
The two of them stepped forward quietly, and Li Yingxue tightened her grip on the spear in her hand.
However, when they saw what was in the bushes, their nerves relaxed.
“Director?” Li Yingxue called out, looking at the man hiding in the bushes.
The director in the bushes was indeed the one from the production team. He had become somewhat disheveled. Upon hearing someone call him, he looked flustered and started to run. After taking a couple of steps and realizing it was Fu Man and Li Yingxue, he stopped and cautiously approached the two.
“Fu Man? Li Yingxue?” The director’s eyes were completely bloodshot, looking like he hadn’t slept in days.
After all, the director is an Alpha. Although he looks down and out and weak now, Fu Man still instinctively stood in front of Li Yingxue, raised an eyebrow, and scrutinized him.
“Why isn’t the director with those people?”
The director saw her being wary of him and gave a bitter smile, saying, “I have never colluded with them. That day, Li Shengkai, Chu Xingchun, and a few others beat me down on the beach, and I just hid by myself.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Fu Man recalled the group of people who had stormed into the cave that day, and it seemed they indeed hadn’t seen the director.
The director, not knowing what he has been through these past few days, is desperately pulling at his hair, recounting what he has seen during this time.
He said that those Alphas had gone through several lord changes, and each time it was because of food issues that they fought fiercely. Many people are still starving, and some weak Omegas and Betas are even gnawing on tree bark.
Some Omegas are even willing to become objects of venting just for a meal.
These are all things he saw with his own eyes.
Fu Man frowned, completely blocking Li Yingxue, and said harshly, “Get to the point.”
The director was still immersed in his world, eager to tell them everything, waving his arms: “Crazy, they’re all crazy! They even forced Xiao Ye to go out and fish, even though he was still injured. If the sharks smell bl00d, they’ll tear him apart… They’re really pushing people to the brink!”
Fu Man: “Who is Xiao Ye?”
Director: “It’s the crew member who can dive.”
Fu Man has a bit of an impression.
Li Yingxue raised her eyes to look at the tall figure of the woman in front of her. Not knowing whether it was intentional or unintentional, she slightly furrowed her brows, moved slightly to the side, stood next to Fu Man, and said to the director:
“Why are you telling us this? Back then, when the equipment malfunctioned, you hid it for your own selfish reasons, missing the chance to call for help. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be in this situation today.”
The director looked very remorseful: “It’s all my fault, I regret it deeply. I made you all like this. If it weren’t for me, this wouldn’t have happened at all.”
Seeing those people turn into this over the past few days has deeply pained him. Yet, he worries and fears every day, thinking that if he gets caught by them, he will probably end up like Xiao Ye, becoming a laborer.
Fu Man wasn’t in the mood to listen to his confession. “Director, take care of yourself. We’ll leave first.”
Perhaps feeling cornered, the director hurriedly stepped in front of them:
“Wait a minute, don’t you find it strange? It’s been three or four days since we wrapped up, and a lot of work at the company has to go through me. They should have noticed something was wrong with us by now since they haven’t been able to find me for so long. Plus, so many people on the live broadcast variety show know we’re on this island. Why hasn’t anyone come to rescue us yet?”
Li Yingxue: “This question, even if the director asks us, it’s useless.”
The director wanted to catch up, but Fu Man shot him a cold glance, and the director stopped in his tracks, disgruntled.
The two walked to the edge of the forest.
Fu Man noticed that Li Yingxue’s expression was somewhat serious and couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong?”
Li Yingxue looked up at her: “What the director just said, can we trust it?”
Fu Man didn’t know which sentence she was referring to, thought for a moment, and said, “He has no reason to lie.”
Seeing that Li Yingxue’s expression showed no sign of easing, Fu Man thought she was worried that those acts of plundering, fighting, and even turning against each other would happen within their four-member team, and she carefully considered her words.
“You don’t need to worry, we won’t become like that.”
Li Yingxue looked at her for a while: “Is there any credibility to what Alpha said?”
Those Alphas frequently replacing the lords, isn’t that the best proof?
In just a few days, they have almost abandoned the civilization of society, reverting to the most primitive humans, where the weak are preyed upon by the strong.
Fu Man fell silent, quietly watching her, actually understanding that Li Yingxue harbored a grudge against the vast disparity between Alphas and Omegas. That day, when she attempted to self-destruct her glands in the pool, it was precisely because she didn’t want to succumb to the control of those pheromones.
Miss Li is somewhat strong-willed.
So she can’t be open and honest with an Alpha who can control her at any moment.
But… she, Fu Man, is not a pure Alpha, nor is she an Alpha who would be affected by the rutting heat period. She is a snake Alpha who has basic self-control even without inhibitors.
“I don’t know about the other Alphas, but you can trust my word.”
