Chapter 34 Wildfire
The woods with thick smoke in the distance seem to be located within the Yishan Park next to the villa area.
Yishan Park is a paid park built ten years ago. Since its construction, it is far from the city and the admission fee is high, so not many people come here. Later, a vicious murder occurred in the villa area here, and it gradually became deserted.
In the past two years, the trees and weeds in the park have grown wildly, and have grown into a world that covers the sky. After the natural disaster evolution period came, due to the continuous high temperature, a large number of flowers, plants and trees in the park withered and died, and the park was in a state of decay. The only ones that survived were some century-old trees with deep roots and some mutated unknown weeds.
If it was not arson, it was most likely caused by the long-term accumulation of dead branches and leaves, which caused the temperature to be too high and spontaneous combustion.
There are flammable materials everywhere, and once the fire starts, there will be no end to it.
The park is not far from the villa area, and it is only a matter of time before it burns over.
Mo Fei's expression tensed, and the first thing he thought of was whether the basement could withstand the raging flames if the fire really came.
Then I wondered if it was too late to run away now.
With the speed of her seven-wheel drive car, she could drive at full speed of 200 mph without the restriction of traffic lights, and should be able to escape to a safe place.
But how could she be willing to accept this? This was the safe house she had just built...
Even if she had known that a fire would occur here, she would not have cut down all the nearby forests when she first moved in.
Without these trees, temperatures would only rise more dramatically.
"Mom, what should we do?" Mo Jianian had never seen such a scene. In the past, he could call the fire department for such a situation, but now he didn't know what to do.
He had no choice but to ask Mo Fei anxiously.
"Don't panic, go wake up your grandparents first, and I'll go call your sister." Mo Fei instructed his son.
Song Yi and Mo Zhicheng were sleeping in the bedroom with eye masks on, but were woken up by Mo Jianian shaking them a few times.
"Niannian, what happened?" Song Yi took off his blindfold and yawned.
"My mother said there was a forest fire and asked me to wake you up." Mo Jianian said anxiously.
"What?!" Mo Zhicheng immediately got up from the bed, opened the curtains and looked out. From the first floor window, he could see thick smoke rising in the sky.
In the past, when order still existed, Mo Zhicheng had seen a lot of news about wildfires on the Internet. For example, the wildfire in Orange City seven years ago was put out not only with the efforts of the entire city, but also with the support of provinces and cities from all directions, and after several days and nights of all-night fighting.
There is also the wildfire that was called the most crazy wildfire of this century. The burned area reached 47,000 square kilometers.
The fire was fierce and tragic, smoke was rising into the sky, the sky was gray and yellow, more than 20,000 people were displaced, and the losses were countless. It felt like the end of the world.
When Mo Zhicheng watched the news, he only felt horrified, but didn’t feel anything more. He never expected that a wildfire would happen next to him one day, and he and his family were caught in it.
After the whole family arrived, Mo Fei quickly stated his proposal.
"Let's move!" Mo Fei said in a deep voice.
Compared to the lives of a family, this villa safe house is too insignificant. Among the family, only Mo Jiayue Beast can withstand such a big fire after transforming into a fire bear. Mo Fei is not so arrogant as to think that he can put out the wildfire by himself. In the past, when watching the news, even with so many powerful equipment, countless firefighters still sacrificed their lives for this. She didn't dare to gamble at all.
The safest way is to drive away from here, the farther the better. As for where to drive to, Mo Fei has not decided yet.
But she wants to find a bodyguard for the whole family.
They have been away from the group for too long and have no idea what the situation is outside. The CD of Mo Jianian's supernatural power is too long, Mo Jiayue's supernatural power is not well controlled, and she cannot bring her family into her own space.
In the eyes of others, they look like a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people who are weak and can be bullied.
"You guys pack your things first. I have to go out for a while. When I come back, I will put your packed things in my space and take them away." Mo Fei instructed.
After saying that, Mo Fei immediately put on his sun protection clothes and went out to drive.
The place she was going was Lin Jiyuan's place.
Lin Jiyuan had a gun, and now there were a few young and strong guys around him. With guns and people, they were really good candidates to be bodyguards.
The most important thing is that during the time they were neighbors, Lin Jiyuan had seen her killing people, and she had also seen Lin Jiyuan's gun.
In addition, she had sent them food and drinks several times before, and she never saw Lin Jiyuan coveting things in her house. Instead, she found that they were not short of food. They just ate instant noodles, canned food, self-heating rice and the like. They just lacked delicious hot meals.
In this way, they got to know each other more or less and established some basic trust.
What's more, Mo Fei believed that if she decided to leave without hesitation, someone like Lin Jiyuan would definitely not stay here and wait for death.
Since we are all going to run away, why not form a companion and travel together.
Lin Jiyuan and his men provided protection for Mo Fei, and Mo Fei provided them with food. This was an exchange of interests that neither side lost out on. Even if the two sides found that they had different ideas and did not want to work together after they set out on the road, it would not be too late for them to go their separate ways after they found a place to stay.
Mo Fei stepped on the accelerator and drove to the door of Lin Jiyuan's villa, but found that Lin Jiyuan was faster than her.
They were moving boxes of things onto a tall RV, and they did not stop what they were doing when they saw Mo Fei coming.
It seems that he discovered the wildfire earlier than Mo Fei, and prepared to evacuate at the first moment.
"Brother, Sister Mo is here to see you again." Lin Jiye shouted to Lin Jiyuan.
Lin Jiye still had a good impression of Mo Fei. After all, he could only follow his brother to eat a few bites of fast food and the jerky of mutant animals.
In comparison, the food and drinks sent by Mo Fei were simply delicacies.
And he always felt that maybe Mo Fei and his brother could be a couple. Anyway, his brother had never been in a relationship and liked children. He didn't have to give birth to his own children, but he could have two children for free, and he could become a little uncle! Lin Jiye's imagination ran wild.
"What is Xiaoye laughing at?" Lan Chengyin panted tiredly while moving things.
Peng Yuan wiped his sweat and said, "You know he has a first-rate imagination. He might be trying to find a match for his brother." It must be said that he was right.
Lin Jiyuan turned from the fuel tank and looked at Mo Fei. In fact, he had already guessed Mo Fei's intention without Mo Fei saying anything.
"Together?" Lin Jiyuan said.
"!" Mo Fei looked at Lin Jiyuan in shock. She felt that this man was quite sensible, just like the worm in her stomach.
She ran over in a hurry, and before she could say a word, Lin Jiyuan asked what she wanted to say.
"Okay." Mo Fei cut to the chase and asked directly, "When are you leaving?"
"It was supposed to be right away. I can still give you 20 minutes." Lin Jiyuan's gaze fell back onto the car body.
He had just checked the car inside and out and found basically no problems.
But he has a lot of stuff, and even if he drives the RV out of the garage, there are still some things he can't take with him, so he has to streamline it further.
"No problem." Mo Fei hurriedly got into the car and drove back home.
There was chaos at home and the shouting of family members could be heard everywhere.
"This belt?"
"Bring it! Be sure to bring this with you."
“Can I take my vegetable patch with me?”
"Do you want these pots of cactus?"
Mo Fei was speechless. She had no choice but to help the two children put their clothes, books, toys, etc. into the space. Then she went to the kitchen to put away the electrical appliances and some surplus food. She also took away all the movable furniture, even the beds in the room. In short, Mo Fei took everything in the villa that was not welded.
Song Yi and Mo Zhicheng had much less stuff. They only had some clothes and medicines commonly taken by the elderly.
What they were most concerned about were the onion and pepper seedlings that had finally sprouted outside the house.
Mo Fei obviously did not disappoint them. He shoveled them all out and threw them into the space with a wave of his hand.
"Beep——" Someone honked the horn outside the house.
Then Lin Jiye shouted: "Sister Mo! Do you want us to help?"
"No need, we'll be ready soon." Mo Fei also shouted outside the house.
She urged her family to get in the car quickly, and put two barrels of water, two bottles of mineral water, a few bags of rice, a few bundles of noodles, some dried vegetables and bacon in the trunk.
These things were used by her to confuse people, and they were only enough for a few days' food and drink.
Although they were about to set off together, she didn't want to reveal her space to outsiders until she was sure that Lin Jiyuan and the others were completely trustworthy.
Maybe they don't covet her supplies now, but knowing that she has supplies is one thing, and knowing that she has a space for supplies is another.
"Put these bags of rice in your car. We can't fit them all in our car." Mo Fei opened the big iron gate of the villa. At her feet were several 50kg bags of Wuchang rice.
"Go down and move it." Lin Jiyuan said to the others in the car.
His eyes looked towards the other side of the mountain.
In just a moment, the fire had spread.
The sky in the center of the fire was already filled with smoke.
The young men quickly moved the rice to the back seat.
They had escaped from the city, so they didn't have much stuff. The trunk was filled with Lin Jiyuan's stuff, including food, daily necessities, and self-defense equipment, which was comparable to some field vehicles.
Lin Jiyuan's black RV was in front, and Mo Fei's white SUV was behind. The two cars drove all the way down from the villa area, heading towards a place far away from the mountains and forests.
No one knew where they were going.
Mo Jiayue was lying on the back seat holding her stuffed bear and looking back, she saw the raging flames devouring everything. The flames reflected in her pupils, which were as clear as glass balls. She touched the bear's head anxiously, saying unconsciously, "It's okay, it's okay."
Song Yi noticed that her granddaughter was acting strange, and hugged Jiayue in her arms: "Have a good sleep. When you wake up, we will be at our new home."
Mo Fei held the steering wheel intently and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom to barely keep up with the speed of Lin Jiyuan's RV.
But whenever she really couldn't keep up, Lin Jiyuan would slow down a little, as if he was waiting for her.
That RV must have been modified, Mo Fei thought.
Occasionally she looked out the window.
After staying in the villa for so long, this was the first time she saw the outside world.
There were landslides, road collapses, fallen electric poles, cracked ground, and many dead animals lying on the road.
After the car drove 50 kilometers, Mo Fei clenched his fists.
A few hundred meters ahead, there was a little girl walking on the road.
She was wearing a blood-stained skirt, half of one arm was missing, and her head was hanging crookedly on her neck.
She walked forward unconsciously, her nose twitching and her mouth twisted to the limit of the human body's ability to open.
She is already a zombie.
Lin Jiyuan did not slow down the car. He just ran over the zombie little girl's body.
Mo Fei shouted, "Close your eyes," and then drove over.
Mo Fei didn't turn around or look in the rearview mirror.
She felt her palms sweating and her heartbeat quickening. It took her a while to recover.
This was the world outside, and she forced herself to get used to it.
