The Serpent People didn't do anything; they just came for a loop, hovered quietly above Malakal for about two minutes, and then disappeared again at a speed unbelievable to humans.
Gao Yang, after all, failed to see the Serpent People's spaceship with his own eyes, even though he knew it was right over his head, he still couldn't see anything.
"The Serpent People have left."
Xinghe said, then she looked puzzled, "Just like that, they left?"
"Uh, otherwise? Should they have done something?"
Gao Yang wasn't one to nitpick, but he genuinely didn't understand what Xinghe meant. Of course, he didn't know what the Serpent People would do when they came. In his view, it was perfectly normal for the Serpent People to come, see that everything was alright, and then leave.
