Abby was stunned, Jessica, wearing the facial mask, came over. She leaned in and stretched her neck to ask, “Can we eat
them?”
Cynthia sneered. “These aren’t ordinary snake eggs. They are king cobra eggs.”
In the live stream, the viewers were shocked to see the king cobin eggs.
Jessie is such a foodie. She only cares if they’re edible.]
[The king cobra is a horrible viper. If it bites you, you’ll be dead right away.]
[This type of snake is very protective of its babies and can follow the scent for up to 19 miles. Abby is doomed.)
Alex was curious. “What’s the king cobra?” Cynthia sighed. “It’s a type of viper.”
Abby was freaked out to hear that. Her hands shook in fright, and the snake eggs on the leaf all fell to the ground, smashing onto her shoes. Terrified, she stomped her feet and crushed the eggs into a messy pulp.
Cynthia frowned. “Abby, what are you doing?” Abby had already taken several steps back. She hugged her arms with a look of disgust on her face.
Cynthia said, “You need to put these snake eggs back, otherwise the mother snake will track them by scent. Now that you’ve crushed them, do you want a snake to watch you when you sleep tonight?”
Abby’s face turned pale. She shouted in reflex, “Cynthia, why didn’t you tell me earlier? Are you trying to get me killed?” Cynthia was speechless to hear that.
[Is Abby crazy? Clearly, Cynthia was trying to help, but she accused Cynthia of wanting to harm her.]
[Abby is just panicking. Besides, if the snake is so dangerous and the eggs can’t be destroyed, Cynthia should have taken them away sooner. Abby’s reaction is completely normal.]
[It’s not that serious. I’ve seen these eggs many times before. I used to cook and eat them until someone informed me they’re dangerous and advised me to hide out in a remote place for safety. It’s funny. How can I be scared of that?]
[The king cobra is extremely venomous, and its bite is almost always fatal. Luckily, I’ve inherited the family secret of herbal remedies and have treated over a dozen people bitten by those makes. So far, no complaints because none has survived.]
[Oh no, Abby is in danger. How about she quit the show now!]
On the other side, Abby was scared to death. She suddenly realized the serious consequence. “Cynthia, what should we do now? You must have a plan, right?”
Cynthia remained calm and said casually, “First, find a place far away and bury those eggs. Then, go to the beach and clean. yourself up thoroughly. You need to throw your clothes and shoes all away after changing them out.”
Abby protested, “You want me to handle these eggs? Won’t I smell even worse?” She pouted at Cynthia. “Cynthia, you seem so professional. Can you help me? I’m so scared.”
Cynthia stepped back. “Don’t come over. I’m scared too.”
Because of Cynthia’s move, everyone else also stepped back. Abby felt furious as she saw everyone looking at her like she
was a virus.
Alex spoke up, “Abby, clean up your own mess. Don’t drag us down with
you

Chapter 149
Abby was fuming, but she had no choice. Her hands trembled as she started cleaning up the smashed eggs on the ground
While burying the eggs, she found an undamaged snake egg. An idea suddenly occurred to her, and she carefully wrapped the egg in a leaf and took it back.
She thought, “Cynthia, don’t blame me. I don’t want to die. If a snake does come looking, it can go find you instead,”
Since most of the food they found was inedible, everyone was starving, Jessie looked frustrated. “What should we do now? I’m starving, I want to eat sea urchin sashimi, king crab, bluefin tina, foie gras, and truffles…
As soon as Jessie said that, almost everyone’s stomachs started growling. “Cynthia, what should we do now?” Jessie looked at Cynthia
Cynthia originally didn’t want to take charge. She had only stepped forward because the situation was becoming life- threatening. But now everyone was looking at her expectantly.
Alex also spoke up. “Cynthia, you know so much. You must have a plan, right?”
Preston looked at her eagerly. “Cynthia, I’m so hungry.”
Nina pursed her lips as she looked at Cynthia. Meanwhile, Jonathan and Ethan stood among the crowd and kept silent.
Everyone’s gaze focused on Cynthia. Cynthia just wanted to be a bystander, but with a group of lazy people, it wasn’t a good option for her to do nothing unless she wanted to starve.
So she spoke up. “Some of the mushrooms that Ethan picked earlier are edible. Ethan, could you guide us back to gather more? And right now, the most important task isn’t just finding food but also fresh water.”
She continued, “I suggest Ethan and I go mushroom picking. If anyone has energy left, please look for fresh water nearby. Let’s split up.
Just then, Abby returned after handling the snake eggs. Hearing Cynthia’s plan, she mumbled, “Cynthia, I bet you just want some alone time with Ethan.
Cynthia responded immediately, “Do you want to go with Ethan instead?”
Abby went silent. She just couldn’t stand Cynthia’s attitude that it seemed nobody could survive without her, but there was nothing she could do about it right now.
Preston wasn’t satisfied with the arrangement. “Cynthia, I want to go with you.”
