Chapter 31 Disaster
"We have to save some electricity. Turning on the lights on every floor is too extravagant!"
Lin Jiye jumped around in his brother's villa, turning off various switches in the villa.
After a month of busy and difficult life at school, Lin Jiye, who used to spend money lavishly, now pays great attention to energy conservation and emission reduction!
As the first and second floors became dark, Lin Jiye jumped all the way up. When he reached the third floor, he was finally stopped by Lin Jiyuan.
Lin Jiyuan was leaning against the door. He must have just taken a shower and changed into a new black short-sleeved shirt. The bloody smell on his body had faded to the point where it was almost undetectable. He said, "Tell your friend that you can stay in any room on the first or second floor, and you can eat the food in the basement. You can't go up to the third floor for now."
"They don't want to come up. Seeing you is more terrifying than seeing our mentor." Lin Jiye said casually.
"..." Lin Jiyuan was silent for a few seconds, and when he saw him about to turn off the lights in the corridor on the third floor, he stopped him, "No need to turn them off. We won't be short of electricity."
"Why? The whole city is out of power now. Even if we have a generator, we have to use it sparingly..."
Lin Jiye didn't finish his words.
When Lin Jiyuan turned his palm over, a lightning ball as big as a ping-pong ball appeared in his hand.
There was a crackling sound of electric sparks, which made people feel cold.
If this electric ball were to hit a person, it would probably kill him in a split second.
"Oh my god!" Lin Jiye was stunned and subconsciously took a step back.
He knew that his brother had awakened superpowers, but on the way back from the city with the three of them, Lin Jiyuan used knives and guns regardless of encountering zombies or mutated plants and animals.
Only occasionally when a zombie approached, Lin Jiye discovered that once the zombie touched his brother's body, it would stop for a short time.
Lin Jiye didn’t understand at the time, but now it seems that the zombies were numbed by his brother’s electric ball.
If he had known his brother was so helpful, he would have saved electricity and turned the air conditioner to the lowest setting.
Lin Jiye was humming a song happily and preparing to go downstairs, but was stopped by Lin Jiyuan.
"Starting at 5 am tomorrow, the three of you will wait for me on the first floor and I will lead you in training." Lin Jiyuan said concisely.
"Okay!" Lin Jiye agreed readily.
In the lobby downstairs, Lin Jiye’s two classmates, Lan Chengyin and Peng Yuan, were making instant noodles.
When they saw Lin Jiye coming down, they stood up together and said, "I made you a bucket of spicy soup, does your brother want some?"
"My brother doesn't want to eat." Lin Jiye found two sausages and threw them to them, then squeezed in between them.
Lin Jiyuan was not there, and the three of them squeezed on the sofa with their eyes closed, enjoying this rare moment of peace and quiet. There was a central air conditioner blowing cold air above their heads, and steaming instant noodles on the table. It was quiet all around, and no zombies' roars or people's screams could be heard.
At this time, it seemed as if we had returned to the days before the natural disaster.
They have been classmates and roommates since college, and after graduation, they were admitted to Baiyun University as graduate students. This year is the first year of graduate school. Although the three of them are in different majors and have different supervisors, they have a good relationship. After some adjustments, they still live in the same dormitory and usually play the mobile game Glory of the Dead together.
Before the natural disaster came, Lin Jiye received a warning from his brother about the natural disaster. From childhood to adulthood, the person Lin Jiye trusted the most was his brother. After receiving the news, he did not keep it to himself. While taking action himself, he also posted it to the class group, school group, and campus forum.
But at that time, nothing unusual had happened, and most of the comments about the apocalypse were just jokes. No one was as sure as Lin Jiye. As a result, he was called in by the instructor and scolded, and he almost got punished. The matter was left unresolved.
Fortunately, both Peng Yuan and Lan Chengyin trust Lin Jiye very much.
They told their families immediately and followed Lin Jiye to prepare at school.
This preparation took more than two months.
They almost thought that Lin Jiye lied about the military intelligence. Until that night when they came back from dinner, they saw a man throwing another man down beside a huge crack in the ground...
Because Lin Jiyuan had other things to do, he didn't come to them right away. The three of them relied on their previous preparations and managed to save most of the people in the graduate dormitory. During this period, several students had fevers, some died of fever, and those who survived even awakened their special powers.
When the military sent a group of people to the school, most people chose to follow the military to the underground air-raid shelter.
Only Peng Yuan and Lan Chengyin chose to follow Lin Jiyuan. They were not from Baishi, and their families were far away. Instead of following the military, they would rather stay with the brothers they knew well.
They don’t know whether their choice is right, but they make the decision subconsciously.
Sometimes people just have to trust their instincts.
"If you don't eat it now, you'll get soaked." Lin Jiye was the first to open his eyes.
Each of the three of them held a bucket of instant noodles and ate voraciously.
While eating noodles, Lin Jiye told them about his brother's plan to take them for training.
The two of them had no objection and even felt flattered. After all, they saw clearly when they came that Lin Jiyuan had guns, and more than one. So would they also have the opportunity to learn shooting from Lin Jiyuan?
"We have to get up at 5 o'clock, so go to bed quickly. Each of you has a room. Come on, come on." Lin Jiye called his brothers to separate the rooms.
Upstairs, Lin Jiyuan, with the door closed, was not asleep.
Lin Jiyuan's sleep time is very short every day, and the time he can concentrate on sleeping is usually two to three hours. Most of the time, he sleeps for a while at ordinary times. When he is alone, he either reads a book or falls into a certain mood. It is the same tonight.
He sat alone at his desk, with a desk lamp emitting warm orange light on, and the book in his hand was A Global History.
I sat like this until daybreak.
It was still early and it was not yet the training time he and his brother had agreed on.
Lin Jiyuan was standing on the balcony and noticed that car lights were on not far away, and then the car drove in one direction.
He put on a sun hat and went out in the mist.
When Lin Jiyuan drove there, Mo Fei had already gotten out of the car and was standing among several corpses.
Mo Fei looked up at Lin Jiyuan, his brows twitched, and he was very surprised that he would come here.
This is where Mo Fei asked Lin Jiyuan to help dispose of the bodies yesterday. It is remote and far from people. There is not much vegetation. After a few days of high temperature and exposure, these bodies will quickly rot and their original appearance cannot be seen.
"You followed me?" Mo Fei said coldly.
Lin Jiyuan also responded coldly: "Find out what your neighbors are doing. What are you doing here?"
Mo Fei accepted his explanation. After all, if she found her neighbor sneaking out of the house early in the morning, she would also be curious and explore. At least she would make sure that the other party would not pose a danger to her.
After hesitating for a moment, Mo Fei said, "I thought about it all night yesterday, and I suspect that Tang Jing is a person with spatial abilities."
If a space user with super powers dies, the things in her space will definitely explode, just like the equipment dropped when a boss in an online game dies.
Judging from Tang Jing's position among these people, the things she carried with her would be less, not more.
Maybe there are some things that Mo Fei didn't consider carefully before and didn't stock up.
But in the situation yesterday, Mo Fei didn't have time to think about it, she just wanted to deal with the body quickly. After calming down last night, she suddenly thought that Tang Jing didn't reveal any supplies at that time. Was it because she didn't die at all... or it took time to reveal the supplies, and the supplies were probably at the place where the body was dumped.
But no. Mo Fei looked at what was in front of him.
Not to mention any supplies, even Tang Jing’s body was not found.
"One ran away." Mo Fei pointed to the ground.
Lin Jiyuan listened to her words in context and understood what Mo Fei meant.
"Search separately," he said.
The direction the two came from can be ruled out, and they will search separately in the other directions.
Even if Tang Jing didn't die, she must have been seriously injured, and she would definitely leave traces if she escaped.
Finally, Mo Fei followed the blood trail and found that the final track disappeared beside a river.
It is not ruled out that she was dragged away and eaten by some creature in the river. It is also not ruled out that she is not dead yet.
Mo Fei returned to the spot, looking gloomy. It was very likely that Tang Jing was still alive. If there was a chance to make such a deadly feud, a person like Tang Jing who was two-faced would never give up. I was afraid that there would be trouble in the future.
She guzzled a bottle of space water, and her irritable mood finally improved.
"Strengthen vigilance." Lin Jiyuan said only these four words and returned to the car.
Mo Fei glanced at him and said, "I know."
She drove home before her family woke up, put on an apron, and started making breakfast for the day.
Mo Fei is making Cantonese-style morning tea today.
For today's main course, she prepared dry fried rice noodles, egg rice rolls, and preserved egg and lean meat porridge. For dessert, she prepared egg tarts and ginger milk.
Originally, she would have finished her work after doing these, but she remembered that Mo Jiayue liked to eat shrimp, so she made a few more baskets of crystal shrimp dumplings. Maybe Mo Jiayue would wake up earlier when she smelled the fragrance of the shrimp dumplings.
The glutinous crystal skin is filled with two large, chewy and tender shrimps. It is full of soup and tastes extremely delicious.
As the saying goes, dim sum cannot be without crystal shrimp dumplings, just like the West cannot be without Jerusalem.
"Let's have Cantonese dim sum for breakfast today, and then for lunch, I'll make crispy roast goose, steamed sea bass, sweet and sour pork with pineapple, and clay pot rice with preserved meat. Let's have a special Cantonese cuisine." Mo Fei thought.
After Mo Fei put the dishes on the table, she made a dish of roast duck. This was the reward she promised to Lin Jiyuan for helping to dispose of the body yesterday. If she paid him back early, she wouldn't owe him a favor. In addition to the roast duck, she also packed some other food and took them to the car.
This was Mo Fei's first time going to Lin Jiyuan's villa.
All the weeds on the way from her home to Lin Jiyuan's home were cleared by Lin Jiyuan.
Pesticides were sprayed in places where weeds had previously grown, eradicating the weeds completely, leaving not even a trace of their roots.
500 meters is the straight-line distance, and actually you have to go around a bend to drive. After Mo Fei stepped on the accelerator and was about to knock on the door, he found that the door of the villa was open.
Lin Jiyuan was wearing a black vest and practicing boxing with three other people in the yard.
He was fine, but the other three were sweating profusely, and they could barely open their eyes. Lin Jiyuan didn't ask them to stop, so they didn't dare to stop.
"What do you want to talk to me about?" Lin Jiyuan stopped and looked at Mo Fei at the door. Lin Jiye and the other three also took the opportunity to stop and waved to Mo Fei from behind. The three of them were exhausted, but their waving movements were in unison, which was quite funny.
"remuneration."
Mo Fei didn't enter the house, but put a pile of lunch boxes at the gate of the villa. Before Lin Jiyuan could say anything, she drove away again.
Lin Jiye and the others looked at each other and happily took the lunch boxes in: "Brother, let's eat first!"
After returning home, Mo Fei returned to her room and walked into the bathroom carrying a plate of crystal shrimp dumplings.
In addition to the space water, the bathtub was also filled with ice cubes, almost covering Mo Jiayue except for her head.
"Jiayue..." Mo Fei squatted in front of the bathtub and touched her head. Crystal shrimp dumplings were placed aside. Mo Fei took out a bottle of glucose from the space and opened Mo Jiayue's mouth to feed it. During the days when Mo Jiayue was unconscious, she relied on ice cubes and space water to slightly cool down, and relied on glucose to replenish her physical strength.
After feeding glucose, Mo Fei touched Mo Jiayue's forehead with the back of his hand.
It still felt terribly hot to the touch, and the temperature did not drop much because of the ice.
Instead, the ice cubes melted into water after a while, and you have to keep adding water in.
"How do I wake you up?" Mo Fei lowered his head.
In the past few days, she has gone through all the medical information she copied from the hard drive. She has tried all the methods to reduce fever. She has also been constantly taking out river water from the space.
Mo Fei's heart ached as he looked at Mo Jiayue's frowning brows in pain due to the high fever and ice water.
Although this child actually has nothing to do with her, after spending these days together, Mo Fei has already regarded her as a very important person to him.
"Wake up now."
Mo Fei murmured.
