Chapter 39 Five Poisons
But Mo Fei and the others seemed determined to leave, and no matter how anxious Lai Zi was, he couldn't change their minds.
Mo Fei and his group drove behind Ding Hao's car and headed towards the original Hexi Town Government.
On the way, Mo Fei had been observing the situation in the town.
A town of 2,000 people is now as dilapidated as a closed mountain village.
The houses around were lifeless and emitting heat. The ground was littered with garbage and dried excrement, as well as plastic benches that had been dried into a pool of liquid.
Apart from them, there was no living person to be seen, only a few zombies occasionally emerged from the residential buildings.
Ding Hao didn't need to do anything to kill the zombies; the eight people following the RV rushed over.
The eight people are veterans in clearing out zombies. They form a team of two and work together.
One person put a rope around the zombie's neck and strangled it, while the other person immediately took out an awl from his waist and nailed it directly into the zombie's temple.
As the cone penetrated deeper and deeper, and after a stir, a zombie fell down.
Lin Jiyuan glanced at these people and said, "Look carefully."
It is always necessary to learn from each other's strengths and make up for one's weaknesses.
He doesn't have to learn, but his brother and his friends do.
"Okay, brother." Peng Yuan and Lan Chengyin responded.
They were watching very seriously. Previously in the car hall, they followed Lin Jiyuan to kill zombies, but they were always timid and were not as clean and efficient as the group of thirty-something people in front of them.
This is what it means to be well-trained and to act cleanly and efficiently.
"I wanted to take notes in a notebook. Look at their professional skills and tacit cooperation. Killing zombies is like playing."
Lin Jiye leaned on the passenger seat window and commented exaggeratedly.
"But since they are so good at killing zombies, why don't they also take care of the ones at the bus station?"
Peng Yuan was confused.
Lin Jiyuan thought for a few seconds: "The bus station is at the entrance of the town. There are zombies there, and people passing by are unlikely to choose to stay there. You didn't notice that the town government was written in red paint on the outer wall of the bus station, and there was an arrow. This may be their way of leading passers-by directly to their place."
However, Ding Hao and his companions certainly did not expect that Lin Jiyuan and his group were so tough that they strangled all the ones he had left.
The people in the car were talking, and the talkative Lin Jiye was the most excited. But as he was talking, a person who was fine suddenly leaned heavily on the back of the chair: "Brother, I feel a little dizzy."
Lin Jiyuan put one hand on the steering wheel, tilted his head to look at his brother, and said with almost certainty: "You have a fever."
Peng and Lan, who were sitting in the back seat, quickly reached out to touch Lin Jiye's forehead.
The temperature is as hot as a stove.
They looked at each other.
Could it be that Lin Jiye was injured while fighting zombies before and was infected by them?
They had no experience of awakening superpowers. They only knew that some of their classmates had been scratched by zombies at school. After surviving by chance, they said they had a fever and pain here and there, and after a short while they turned into zombies.
"Don't worry. He's not injured. He's about to awaken."
Lin Jiyuan slammed on the brakes and said lightly.
arrive.
The whole town is not very big, and the bus station is only a 15-minute drive from the town government.
A red and white building stood right in front of them, with only a few blurry words on the sign still visible.
——Hexi Town Government.
The gate has been removed, leaving only the original large iron gate.
There were two people standing guard next to the big iron gate.
When they saw Ding Hao's car coming, they immediately opened the door and bowed 90 degrees respectfully.
"Bureaucracy. Typical bureaucracy."
Mo Zhicheng scoffed at this.
"Grandpa, what is bureaucracy?"
Mo Jiayue had never heard of this term. Who is the official, who is the official, and what is the doctrine?
"I told you to read more books, but you didn't. Now you don't know."
Mo Jianian mocked his sister mercilessly.
"Anyway, they say he's very bad." Song Yi touched her granddaughter's head.
Mo Zhicheng nodded: “Your grandma is right.”
"Dad, let's get off the car. I don't think that's what he's doing is bureaucratic. It's more like feudalism. I guess he wants to be a local tyrant here."
Mo Fei parked the car in the underground garage and continued what his family was saying.
As soon as she got off the car, she saw Lin Jiyuan looking at her.
Mo Fei followed Lin Jiyuan's gaze and saw Lin Jiye behind him.
Lin Jiye was sandwiched between Lan Chengyin and Peng Yuan.
He lowered his head slightly, his face and ears were red.
He just tried his best to pretend to be sober on the surface.
Having experienced a family-wide fever, Mo Fei was very familiar with this situation.
It looked like Lin Jiye had a fever. And seeing that Lin Jiyuan didn't look worried at all, it was probably not because of the zombies that he had a fever, but because he was about to awaken his superpowers.
This would have been a good thing, but Mo Fei knew very well that no one knew how long Lin Jiye would have a fever.
Mo Jianian had a fever for a day and awakened a strange tentacle with a skill CD.
Mo Jiayue had a fever for five days and awakened a beast-like fire bear that could not be controlled by his mind.
Mo Fei's parents recovered with space water after having a fever for more than ten minutes, and they did not awaken any special powers in the end.
This means that the duration of the fever may determine whether or not there is a superpower, or the strength of the superpower. The duration of the fever becomes unknown.
Why did he have a fever at this time? They were now in Ding Hao's lair, and the danger was unknown.
There is a new person with a fever in the team, and we don’t know when he will recover from the fever, which is a bit tricky.
Lin Jiyuan walked towards Mo Fei: "Let's go."
A sentence interrupted Mo Fei's thoughts.
Mo Fei grabbed Lin Jiyuan: "Your brother..."
Lin Jiyuan looked down at Mo Fei and said, "I am sure. I will not risk my brother's life with you."
When he was in the hall, he noticed that Mo Fei cared a lot about the bottle of water. That was why Mo Fei agreed to Ding Hao's invitation and came here so readily.
There must be a reason why he had to come.
Since Lin Jiyuan said so, Mo Fei also breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't know where Lin Jiyuan got such great confidence from, it also gave Mo Fei confidence and courage.
As long as she can find where Ding Hao's light blue water comes from, maybe she can bring the river in her space back to life.
This way she won't have to worry about the water source drying up before the space is upgraded.
"Miss Mo, please come this way." The person in charge of reception said with a smile.
Mo Fei and the others said they didn't need to eat, they just wanted to drink water.
Ding Hao didn't arrange any more food.
Because Mo Fei and his team also required them to live together, Ding Hao sent them to the building to the right of the town government's main building. Mo Fei and his team also parked their cars downstairs of this building.
This used to be an activity center and library.
The ping-pong table, go, chess and other messy things in the activity center have all been thrown away, and now there are only a few beds and tables.
It looks empty, but it is big enough for Mo Fei and his group to live in.
It is much better than having to sleep on a blanket in the car lobby or in the car.
"Excuse me, this is the water that our mayor asked me to deliver."
Someone knocked on the wooden door of the activity center.
The door that Mo Fei opened blocked the man's view, preventing him from seeing anything that was going on inside.
Then several stainless steel washbasins, towels, enamel cups and two iron buckets full of water were placed outside the door.
Ding Hao actually kept his promise and met Mo Fei's requests to wash his face and drink enough water.
After Mo Fei nodded, the two people who delivered the things immediately left the floor.
After confirming that they had left, Mo Fei called Lan Chengyin and the others to come and move the things in.
Lin Jiye was lying on the bed against the wall. He could no longer hold on and fell into a coma.
Mo Jianian and Mo Jiayue were standing by the bed, fanning Lin Jiye with a palm-leaf fan, hoping that this lively brother would feel better and get better soon.
"You're asking them for so much water, aren't you afraid that they will poison you?" Lin Jiyuan asked Mo Fei.
"Of course I'm scared. I'm not here to drink, I'm just observing." Mo Fei said, "You should go see your brother first. We have to find a way to cool him down, otherwise his brain will be burned out before his superpowers awaken."
"I gave him medicine." Lin Jiyuan glanced at his brother. "I made the medicine myself and gave him an injection. It worked."
Mo Fei looked at Lin Jiyuan in surprise.
She always thought this was a very magical person.
He always seems to be calm and composed, even in the face of such dangerous situations. He never uses words full of uncertainty such as "maybe", "seem", "perhaps", etc. His world is absolute. If it is, it is, and if it is not, it is not.
He now says that the medicine he prescribed is effective, so it is effective.
"Have you had a fever before?" Mo Fei suddenly became curious.
Before the natural disaster, Mo Fei took her family to live in seclusion, so she didn't know many people with supernatural powers. Not counting herself, the two children plus Lin Jiyuan in front of her made a total of three.
She wanted to hear some thoughts.
Lin Jiyuan knew that Mo Fei was curious about the process of his awakening his supernatural powers.
"It's been a long time." Lin Jiyuan said and walked away, leaving only his back to Mo Fei.
A long time? A month? Two months? Or half a year. Mo Fei thought. But then he saw Lin Jiyuan slip a dagger from his sleeve and stab it accurately into a bug in the corner.
"Ah——" Everyone who was still awake, except Mo Fei and Mo Jianian, screamed.
It was a huge centipede as long as a human arm.
It should be the best one among the centipede group that has acquired the ability to evolve and survive.
Before it could even launch an attack, the extremely vigilant Lin Jiyuan killed it with a single blow.
"Damn!" Someone in the main building of the town government in the distance spat out blood.
The man with glasses wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said angrily: "Brother, he killed one of my Five Poisons. I will kill him now."
"Then go ahead." Ding Hao sat on the sofa with a glass of iced beer in his hand.
"I'm joking, big brother." The man with glasses sat down opposite Ding Hao.
He knew that Ding Hao had a plan, but he was just talking about it.
"Second brother, you are good at everything except keeping your cool. I told you not to do anything, but you insisted on letting the centipede go."
Ding Hao shook his head.
"I can't help it. They actually dared to make you wait at the door for more than ten minutes. How could I let you endure this?"
The man with glasses is called Wei Shao, and he is the second of the four supernatural beings in Hexi Town. His supernatural power is to summon five poisonous creatures: centipedes, venomous snakes, scorpions, geckos, and toads to fight for him. Now the centipede he raised has died, and only four of the five poisonous creatures are left.
"Don't worry, let the brothers get ready. When they fall asleep in the second half of the night, it's time for us to take action. I promise to let you avenge the centipede. Your sister-in-law coughed again today, and I have to go see her." Ding Hao stood up and walked out after giving instructions.
In a bedroom with warm light on, Tang Jing, looking pale, was looking at a cookbook under the dim light.
When she heard the sound of someone pushing the door open, Tang Jing hurriedly got up, closed the cookbook and put it in the drawer.
"What are you looking at?" Ding Hao opened the drawer curiously and found that Tang Jing was reading a cookbook.
"You are not in good health, why are you looking at this? You can't get the vegetables you used to have now." Ding Hao pushed the recipe back into the drawer.
Tang Jing held Ding Hao's hand and smiled sweetly: "Brother Hao, you said before that you would throw up if you ate fast food. But I can't cook, I want to learn and cook for you. Besides, when you deal with Mo Fei, won't we have plenty of meat and vegetables? You can cook whatever you want then."
"You are so thoughtful." Ding Hao touched Tang Jing's little face and gave her a kiss. "You drank the water from the ancient well before, and I saw that your body was almost recovered. Why do you feel uncomfortable again these days? I will ask someone to fetch some water from the ancient well tomorrow."
The only place in the town that still has water is the ancient well.
The only people in the town who are qualified to use this ancient well are the four great people with special powers headed by Ding Hao. Now with Ding Hao's permission, Tang Jing has been added.
Thinking of the light blue water, Tang Jing covered her chest and couldn't help coughing a few times, and agreed softly: "Okay."
Of course, she would not tell Ding Hao that she did not drink a single sip of the light blue water, but stored it in her space.
The magical thing is that after the water entered her space, a small puddle suddenly appeared in the space, turning the light blue water into living water.
And her spatial ability shows signs of being upgraded.
I don’t know if it’s because they have known each other for too short a time, but every time she mentioned wanting to go to the ancient well, Ding Hao would avoid the question and just perfunctorily answer the question.
If you can’t go, then you can’t go. I’ll find a way later.
She also had to coax Ding Hao to provide her with a steady supply of water.
Once her space is upgraded, all her things will be hers after Mo Fei dies.
It's late at night.
Tang Jing's smile became even sweeter. She put her arms around Ding Hao's neck and they walked towards the big bed.
In the activity center, cracks finally appeared on Lin Jiyuan's originally calm expression.
After Lin Jiye developed a fever, Peng Yuan and Lan Chengyin also suddenly started to have fever.
The two fell on the same bed one after the other.
Mo Fei was simply stunned. She looked at Lin Jiyuan and said, "Captain of the bodyguards, how come you are the only one left in your team?"
“…”
Mo Fei was just joking, but after her parents took the children to bed, she still helped take care of the three patients.
In the empty activity center, Mo Fei used her space water to soak a towel and apply it to this person, and fanned that person from time to time, busy as hell. She had put all the space water in mineral water bottles in advance. As for the water sent by Ding Hao, she just compared it with her own water and didn't touch it at all.
By the second half of the night, a rustling sound became particularly obvious in the quiet night.
Song Yi and Mo Zhicheng were tired after a whole day and slept soundly, but Mo Jianian and Mo Jiayue woke up all of a sudden.
"You take care of them here. I'm going to go out for a while." After Lin Jiyuan finished speaking, he stuffed a G.Lock into Mo Fei's hand and said, "I taught you how to drive before."
After he said that, he glanced in Lin Jiye's direction again.
"I'll go in here." Mo Fei said.
Lin Jiyuan nodded, then opened the door and went to the corridor outside the activity center.
There was no lamp or light in the corridor, it was pitch black.
As Lin Jiyuan flipped his palm, a fist-sized electric ball flew out, illuminating a corner of the darkness.
"..." Mo Fei looked at the gun in his hand and threw it into the space without thinking.
It will be convenient if Lin Jiyuan goes out.
Now she can take out the ice cubes in the space to cool down Lin Jiye and the others, and sprinkle insect repellent powder in the corners on all sides to prevent those big centipedes from running out again.
She would not rely entirely on Lin Jiyuan.
It is foolish to entrust the lives of your entire family to just one person.
Murphy placed dozens of drugged animal traps around the beds and put brass knuckles on his hands.
She sat on the bed in the middle with her two children, and her eyes fell on the stuffed bear in Mo Jiayue's arms.
