Chapter 130 Building Defense

For some reason, Mu Qingyu felt very comfortable in the pool and didn't want to get out.

Mu Qingyu only reluctantly climbed ashore after Mu Qingrong knocked on her door to call her for lunch.

While changing clothes, I noticed from afar that a lot of small green trees seemed to have appeared in one corner of the space, which I hadn't seen before because they were partially obscured by supplies.

Mu Qingyu wasn't in a hurry and thought she would come back later.

When I went downstairs, I saw Mo Huaiyu walking with his hand on the wall, his forehead covered in sweat, but his face was full of smiles.

"Xiao Mo has made great progress!" Mu Qingyu praised him.

"Dr. Jing said that after seven or eight more treatments, I'll be able to walk normally. Now I'll practice more," Mo Huaiyu said with a smile.

Mu Qingyu nodded: "Eat first, and remember to balance work and rest."

Once the food was served, there were four people and three dishes and a soup. The soup was tomato and egg soup, and the dishes included braised crucian carp, stir-fried cured pork, and stir-fried greens.

Yesterday, Mu Qingyu harvested all the vegetables she grew at home. Some are in her spatial storage, and some are in the refrigerator. It looks like they'll be eating vegetables for a while.

However, in the apocalypse, vegetables are a rare commodity, not a cheap one.

While Mu Qingyu's family of young people were happily eating behind closed doors, the lives of other outsiders were probably not so pleasant.

There were more than a dozen people who came with Qin Zhaoxian, and later they took in Mu Xiangbei's group, making a total of about twenty people.

In the first few days after they arrived, they found some water that had been stored up before the apocalypse in the village's water tanks. They also carried some supplies with them.

Most importantly, these past few days they've been going to Aunt Mei's place frequently to beg for food and water, and they've actually managed to get quite a bit of food and water.

Meryl Streep's patronage fostered their laziness.

But for some reason, starting today, no matter who knocks on the door, Aunt Mei refuses to open it. Qin Zhaoxian also hides inside without saying a word, letting the people outside knock and shout.

However, the person knocking didn't dare to go too far, didn't dare to bang on the door, and kept a low voice. It wasn't that they were afraid of Qin Zhaoxian, but rather afraid of Mu Qingyu.

Fearing that banging on the door would trigger unpleasant memories for Mu Qingyu, he shot the person dead with an arrow without saying a word. Fearing that the shouting would be too loud and disturb Mu Qingyu next door, Mu Qingyu flicked her fingers, and someone else's head was about to smoke.

So they tried to be very discreet, but people kept coming to visit, making a ruckus all morning for the neighbors.

Today there was a sudden heatwave, and the temperature is now close to 46 degrees Celsius. It must be even hotter in places where the sun is shining directly. The biggest problem right now is not food, but water.

The village has water, wells, and groundwater.

However, the water remained murky after the torrential rain, and no one dared to drink it. Zombies roamed freely, and no one knew what was in the polluted water.

They might be able to withstand the high temperatures on the first day, but what about the second and third days?

"Those people have been making noise all morning, and the neighbors haven't paid any attention to them. If this continues, I don't know how things will get." At the dinner table, Mu Qingrong talked about the people outside.

Since returning home yesterday, Mu Qingrong has never mentioned Mu Xiangbei again, as if she had never met him yesterday.

“Even without the high temperatures, drinking water will still be a problem for everyone.” Mo Huaiyu looked at the drinking water filter outside the first-floor bathroom. “Either we have this, or we go out and find supplies.”

"Either—" Mo Huaiyu paused, "or: rob!"

Mu Qingrong was startled: "You mean, if they run out of water, they'll come and steal our things?"

Mo Huaiyu gently shook his head, correcting him: "It belongs to everyone!"

"They might not abandon this village. There are very few zombies here, making it suitable for human habitation. There is also a water source, though the water is undrinkable. But what if they had a filtration system?"

"Because of Sister Xiaoyu, they might not dare to offend us for the time being. But what about in the long run? With them in the village, we need to be more careful."

“It’s not just us, but also Dr. Jing and the others, especially Ji Qingqing!” Mo Huaiyu said.

Ji Qingqing and her family, with two women and three children in that room, were the perfect targets.

Upon hearing this, Mu Qingrong paused in her eating.

"Xiao Rong, you can tinker with things at home later. Go to Ji Qingqing's place this afternoon and install the iron fence for them. Ask Han Yu to do some hard labor. If Lao Jiang and Jing Chen are willing to help, ask them to come over and get some potatoes from me later." Mu Qingyu ate her meal calmly, but she still gave Mu Qingrong these instructions.

Since the last time she experimented with planting things in space, Mu Qingyu has obtained the most potatoes and sweet potatoes. These two things are indeed highly productive; a small plot of land yields about 300 catties.

Unlike tomatoes and corn, which yield only a few dozen kilograms from the same planting area.

"Okay, I'll go right away after I finish eating!" Mu Qingrong's expression was serious and earnest.

After dinner, Mu Qingyu tossed three boxes of steel bars out of her spatial storage, and Mu Qingrong went to call Han Yu over.

Old Jiang brought his son, Jing Chen brought Zhang Hao, and Lü Peng brought his two friends to help.

They carried the steel bars to Building No. 5.

Mu Qingyu didn't go with them. With so many people following them, nothing too serious would happen, and she couldn't keep an eye on her younger brother all the time.

Mo Huaiyu didn't go either. He borrowed a room from Mu Qingrong, hid in Mu Qingrong's room, and closed the door.

Mu Qingyu knew exactly what Mo Huaiyu was up to.

After everyone had left and the door was locked, Mu Qingyu, worried that Xiao Ai might be bored, said to her, "You can make whatever you want with the ingredients at home. For example, sweet potatoes can be made into dried sweet potatoes, and vegetables, pork, and flour can be made into dumplings. Do whatever you want with them. If you feel tired, you can go and rest, or you can play some games."

As Mu Qingyu spoke, he handed Mu Qingrong's tablet to Xiao Ai. Now, his tablet is almost being used by the three little ones in turns.

Xiao Ai quickly waved her hand to refuse, saying that she didn't want to play on the tablet anymore and that making something to eat would be more fun.

She has indeed found her value and enjoyment in this area.

Mu Qingyu let her have her way.

Mu Qingyu returned to her room and immediately checked her supernatural ability space—it had indeed been upgraded!

The ability space she acquired was indeed based on the Blood Jade Space! She didn't even need to put in the effort to train and upgrade it; as long as the Blood Jade Space upgraded, her own ability space would also upgrade!

This is absolutely incredible!

In addition, based solely on her senses, Mu Qingyu might also have upgraded her physical abilities, which she could try in the Blood Jade Space.

As for that strange fire and electricity ability, Mu Qingyu plans to go outside the village at night to test it on zombies.
