Chapter 22 Superpowers
"Dad! Mom! Come in too." Mo Fei shouted towards the yard.
Song Yi and Mo Zhicheng came in from outside while asking what happened. They were wearing sun protection gear, and after entering the room, they took off their hats and masks and wiped their sweat. Mo Jiayue quickly poured them each a glass of ice water.
"Jianian may have awakened his supernatural powers." Mo Fei said solemnly.
Because she had warned the family and given a simple explanation before, everyone nodded in understanding and gathered around Mo Jianian with serious faces.
"Try to smile." Mo Fei looked solemn.
Last night, after she confirmed that Mo Jianian's fever had subsided, she went back to her room to sleep, completely forgetting that he might awaken his superpowers.
Mo Jianian nodded, and he gave everyone a heads-up: "Then you guys should step back a little, don't be afraid..."
Then Mo Jianian stared at his left hand and slowly smiled.
After just a dozen seconds, a gray-white tentacle covered with black barbs replaced Mo Jianian's left hand.
This tentacle was about half a meter long, thick and solid, waving in the air, looking like a mutant limb of marine creatures such as octopus and squid, flexible and free. Wherever it waved, there was a sound of breaking wind, and it looked like it had a good killing power.
But it was obvious that even if Mo Jianian tried his best to control the trajectory of the tentacle, he still couldn't control it. What was surprising was that this strange tentacle growing on a human seemed to particularly like Mo Fei and kept waving in her direction.
Does this mean that Mo Jianian wants them to move away?
Mo Fei stared at the tentacle carefully and asked, "As long as you smile, will your left hand turn into this tentacle? Can your right hand feel it?"
Mo Jianian shook his head and raised his right hand: "My right hand is fine."
"How long will it last?" Murphy asked.
Mo Jianian obviously timed himself and said accurately: "After I laughed, about 15 seconds later, my left hand became like this. It lasted for 3 minutes."
So is this the supernatural power that my mother talked about? Mo Jianian thought something was wrong with him and was worried all day.
He didn't dare to say it until he saw Mo Fei woke up.
Now Mo Fei is the person he can rely on the most.
"It seems that Mo Jianian's ability is related to his hands." Mo Fei said to the family, "Don't worry. Maybe he has just acquired this ability, and his body and tentacles cannot be well coordinated, so he may break furniture or hurt people because he can't control it. But at least there is a 15-second buffer after laughing, as long as everyone pays attention to this and avoids it in time."
The whole family witnessed Mo Jianian's tentacles.
Mo Jiayue was so scared that her face turned pale and she kept hiding behind Mo Fei. Mo Zhicheng and Song Yi were shocked. Mo Jianian himself was nervous and at a loss.
Only Mo Fei looked calm and natural, telling everyone that this was normal.
Maybe everyone will awaken their own special abilities in the future.
"Mom, I've tested it and found that my tentacle ability has a usage CD. After three minutes, I have to wait another hour before I can use it again." Mo Jianian continued. So after he triggers this ability, he can still laugh happily for at least an hour.
Mo Fei heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. Children love to play and make noises, and if Mo Jianian can't laugh freely because of this, it would be really pitiful.
She thought for a moment and said, "Come with me to the third floor in an hour to test the strength of your tentacles."
There are many barbells, discus and other fitness equipment on the third floor. Mo Jianian can try the strength and speed of the tentacles.
"Brother." Mo Jiayue waited until the three minutes were up and Mo Jianian's hands returned to normal before she dared to step forward.
Mo Zhicheng and the others held Mo Jianian's hand and looked at it again and again, sighing. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have dared to imagine the plot of this kind of TV series. Human hands turning into tentacles? Too outrageous.
Mo Fei went to the kitchen to get some juice.
Soon-Yi came over and said, "You were still sleeping this morning, and we listened to the morning news."
"What?" Mo Fei went downstairs as soon as he woke up without having time to check his phone.
"I heard that there is basically a power outage in the city now, and many people have to hide in their cars to enjoy the air conditioning. People who don't have cars can only stay at home, and many people have died of heat. The most expensive things on the market now are generators and oil." Song Yi said.
Mo Fei picked up his phone and flipped through it: "Yes. I saw it. It was the owner group of the garden when the money was not refunded. The property management got a generator, but they want the owner to pay before they are willing to supply electricity."
Song Yi went on to say, "Don't mention it. In addition to those who died of heat stroke, there were also those who were bitten to death or scratched to death. That's the worst. Take the pet shops for example, the fangs of the dogs and cats directly bit the cages apart, and they ran out and bit people everywhere. And those zombies you mentioned, there is a saying on the Internet that they are cannibals. I heard that they can jump around even if a bullet pierces their heads, and they can get up even if they are run over by a car. I don't know how many people they have bitten to death. Now, if you go to the hospital, you can't get an appointment unless you are missing limbs and are about to die. It's a mess outside."
"Luckily, our family got out." Song Yi said with some relief, "Before, your father and I sent a message in the group chat asking acquaintances to buy more food and daily necessities and not to go out. I wonder if they listened."
"You didn't tell them where we live?" Mo Fei asked worriedly.
"No. Your aunt is in Hong City and your uncle is in Qing City. They don't know we moved. They both sent me messages just now, asking if I was safe. If you have nowhere to go, go find them." Song Yi said as she sent text messages to her elder sister and younger brother, telling them that everything was fine and that they should also be careful.
The three siblings of the Song family had different personalities and ambitions since childhood, and they all settled down in different places when they grew up.
In the past, everyone would get together during the Chinese New Year, but since the two elders of the Song family passed away, the three siblings rarely see each other because of the distance.
But they still keep in touch with each other and show concern for each other.
Because the elder sister and younger brother believed Song Yi, they really did what she said. They stockpiled a lot of food and water, built an insulation layer, bought a generator, and stayed at home.
I didn't expect that I could escape a disaster because of this.
"That's good." Mo Fei breathed a sigh of relief. It would be good to be able to help some people without harming his own family.
"I'll cook dinner tonight. Everyone come and tell us what dishes you want to eat. You can have whatever you want." Mo Fei stood up and stretched.
"Dry-fried vermicelli casserole." Song Yi knew that Mo Jianian loved to eat this.
Mo Zhicheng didn't order any dishes. He always ate whatever was available and was not picky at all.
When Mo Fei first met Mo Zhicheng, Mo Zhicheng looked old and gray-haired. But now, whether it was because of his improved mood or because he often drank space water, Mo Zhicheng's body became lean and thin, and he looked much healthier than his peers.
Mo Jianian ordered cola chicken wings, and Mo Jiayue wanted to eat something sweet, so she wanted Mo Fei to make a double skin milk.
Mo Fei agreed to all of them. In addition to these dishes, she also planned to use the corn grown in the space to make herself a pork ribs and corn soup.
The corn grown from the black soil of space and watered with space water had large, plump and sweet grains, and was not sprayed with pesticides. Mo Fei rarely saw such quality even in the kitchens of five-star hotels.
In order to make it easier to get food from the space, Mo Fei went into the cold storage room, made a feint, and then went into the kitchen carrying a bunch of things.
One of the advantages of this villa is that it has great lighting.
But now the sun was blazing and the temperature was staggering, so this advantage became a disadvantage. Mo Fei frowned and stared at the kitchen window, put down the kitchen knife in his hand, and quickly installed a blackout curtain.
But while installing the blackout curtains, Mo Fei discovered that a lot of things fell from the sky outside the window.
That's a bird.
Birds flying one after another, densely packed.
There is a small park not far from the villa that Mo Fei bought.
The park has not been popular since it was built, and no one takes care of it. These birds usually live in the park's artificial lake.
Mo Fei didn't expect to see such a shocking scene today.
Bird after bird tried to fly high, but their wings were broken and they fell down in the 50-degree heat.
I really don't know what in the sky is attracting them.
But under high temperatures, all living things are equal. The closer you are to the sun, the faster you die.
Mo Fei found that the birds seemed to fall in the same place, and there might be something strange there.
After thinking about this, Mo Fei concentrated on cooking the dish in her hand. No matter what ingredients she had, she would soak them in space water first, as if this could disinfect them. Then, as long as the ingredients were not eaten raw, they would basically be put into the big iron pot to cook.
Since she was at the villa, she told her family directly that this was a new magical big iron pot that she had bought, which could cook without fire. Mo Zhicheng and Song Yi praised it as magical and immediately asked if it cost tens of thousands of yuan per pot.
Before long, the fragrant and greasy dry-fried vermicelli pot, the side-by-side cola chicken wings with sauce, the large, plump and brightly colored pine nut corn, a portion of crispy fried lettuce, and five bowls of double-skin milk with crushed peanuts and raisins were all ready.
Because of the dual blessing of space water and iron pot, the family ate very quickly. They said that Mo Fei's cooking was so delicious that even big restaurants couldn't make it taste this good.
"Mom and Dad, I'm going out for a while." After dinner, Mo Fei shouted while touching his round belly.
It was 7:30 in the evening. The temperature immediately dropped by 15 degrees as soon as the sun set. The temperature of 35 degrees was completely adaptable for the whole family. Especially Mo Jianian, perhaps because of the awakening of his supernatural power, his body recovered very well, not only did he not feel hot, but even felt a little cool.
"We want to go too." The two little guys ran out.
"Where are you going? How long will you be gone? It's so dangerous outside now." Song Yi always treated Mo Fei as a child.
"Take a walk." Murphy replied.
