Chapter 53 Entering the City
Mo Fei sat in the passenger seat and selected a song on the center console:
“Why is your playlist all in English?”
“?” Lin Jiyuan glanced at the playlist and replied, “I forgot. I downloaded it randomly. You can change it yourself.”
"Then put mine in." Mo Fei inserted a USB drive.
Her playlist is full of classic old songs, such as "Love Like Tide", "Partiality", "Funeral of Roses", "Nocturne", and even "The First Snow of 2022". It's full of nostalgia.
Mo Fei listened to the familiar playlist and looked at the snow scene outside the window, feeling happy.
Lin Jiyuan seemed to have never heard of these songs and just drove without looking around.
"Where are we going? Traveling? That's great, I've never traveled before. You guys are really nice people. What is that you're eating? Let me have some too."
The joyful voice of Methane hydrate sounded in the car.
Mo Fei was in a good mood, so she simply stuffed the whole bag of Cha Cha melon seeds into Ke Bing's pocket. She clapped her hands and took out a bag of pickled pepper chicken feet from the space. Although she could cook, she also loved these small snacks that were considered "junk food".
"I want this too!" Methane hydrate was obviously more interested in meat.
Mo Fei was not stingy either. In addition to the chicken feet for foot soaking, he also gave him a few packets of shredded squid and dried fish.
Combustible Ice rubbed his eyes: "How did you make it?" He pulled Mo Fei's arm and looked around.
Mo Fei imitated the gestures of the heroine in the fairy tale drama: "Just cast the spell like this, and then silently recite what you want to conjure up, don't you know how to do it?"
Methane hydrate also imitated Mo Fei's gestures and performed the same action in a very precise manner. Of course, no miracle happened.
He was depressed.
Mo Fei comforted him: "It's okay. This kind of magic is passed down to girls, not boys. It's normal that you can't learn it. Lin Jiyuan doesn't know it either."
When no one noticed, the corners of Lin Jiyuan's lips moved slightly, as if he was smiling gently.
"Do you want to eat?" Mo Fei casually asked the hardworking driver.
Lin Jiyuan shook his head as she thought, and just concentrated on driving, stepping on the accelerator to the bottom.
The road from Hexi Town to Baishi had collapsed during the previous high temperature disaster, so few people passed through it. After the blizzard, the ice and snow here accumulated very thickly. The road became more and more difficult to drive on, and the wheels were sinking deeper and deeper.
He Bing, who was eating sunflower seeds in the back seat, had his face covered with the sunflower seed shells. He angrily slammed the chair and said, "How did you drive?! I've fined you."
"?" Lin Jiyuan's gaze passed through the rearview mirror.
Combustible Ice silently opened the car window: "It must be a problem with the ice surface. This ice is too much. I don't want to cure it."
No one knew how the combustible ice did it, he just waved his hand, and the ice and snow on the road in front of them instantly separated to both sides. Even the thickest ice layer sank and floated in front of the combustible ice.
From then on, the journey was smooth.
Lin Jiyuan and Mo Fei could not hide the surprise in their eyes.
They brought the combustible ice with them just to see how powerful he was. Unexpectedly, he did not hide anything and fully demonstrated his usefulness.
But Ran Bing saw the two of them looking at him, and he opened his mouth and shouted, "I'm done eating, do you have anything else to eat?"
Mo Fei became even more generous and took out a few bags of cucumber-flavored potato chips, some boiled eggs and chocolate dream dragon rolls for him.
It only took Lin Jiyuan one hour to drive from Hexi Town to the urban area of Bai City because of the help of methane hydrate.
On the way, we passed a deserted gas station and a row of wooden houses that were crushed by the heavy snow. Then we slowly saw the iconic facades and buildings of the city. The streets were empty, with nothing but snow. There was no one in sight. Fortunately, there were many buildings on the street, otherwise it would be easy to get snow blindness if you looked at them for too long.
Mo Fei drank the instant coffee in the thermos and asked, "Where should we go first? The mall?"
"My home."
"You have a home here? Where is it?"
Mo Fei asked casually. She thought Lin Jiyuan's home was the villa in the suburbs, but she didn't expect that Lin Jiyuan had settled in the city before.
"Central International." Lin Jiyuan replied.
Mo Fei understood: "So you are a rich second generation?"
What is Central International? Before the natural disaster, it was the most expensive riverside luxury residential area in Baishi. When the housing prices had not fallen, the cheapest property there was 250,000 yuan per square meter. It was even more exaggerated than the high price of land. There is a very lively post on the Internet, which is dedicated to digging out who the owners of this community are.
If Mo Fei's house was Central International at that time, she would have hundreds of millions of dollars to store supplies after selling it. With hundreds of millions of supplies, she could have built a basement that never sees the sun and lived in it with her family for a hundred years. There would be no need to move because of the wildfire, and there would not be so many things that happened later.
"Why didn't I know you before the disaster?" Mo Fei sighed.
Lin Jiyuan thought she was a little strange: "What's the difference?"
"Then I can borrow money from you." Mo Fei is now familiar with Lin Jiyuan and speaks more casually.
The two were neighbors in the villa area, and Lin Jiyuan obviously didn't expect Mo Fei to worry about money.
He was stunned for a moment and said, "Are you short of money?"
"Why don't you eat meat?" Mo Fei said.
The Central International Community was located near the city center, and as they drove there, they would have to cross several main roads in the city.
As the car moved forward, zombies gradually began to appear.
At first, there were only three or five zombies, or even a dozen, and Lin Jiyuan could get rid of them by just speeding up. But as he went deeper into the city, the zombies he encountered began to count in groups.
Lin Jiyuan rolled down the car window, and the wind blew into the car.
The combustible ice hummed and began to display its abilities.
The snow and wind all around him and the snow on the ground almost became his weapons.
He easily used countless snowballs and ice spikes, turning them into offensive attacks directly towards the vital points of those zombies. Freezing magic! Headshot!
Mo Fei watched this supernatural performance, first controlling the group and then attacking the group, it was exciting.
Wherever the black RV passed, corpses fell one after another.
Killing zombies is as easy as crushing ants. The scene is quite spectacular.
Combustible Ice muttered: "Why are there so many? I'm hungry."
"I'm not hungry. I'll use my magic to make you something to eat."
Mo Fei quickly handed over a steaming roasted chicken leg.
Methane hydrate's eyes suddenly lit up: "You are so kind. I have strength again!"
He held a chicken drumstick in his right hand and waved his left hand out of the car window.
When the ice blade cut open a zombie's head, a shiny object fell out. Under the control of combustible ice, a supernatural crystal core was swept into his hand by the wind and snow.
"Do you want this thing?"
He spread out his palm and passed the combustible ice between Mo Fei and Lin Jiyuan.
Mo Fei took a breath and looked at the combustible ice as if it were a cash cow.
She took out a garbage bag and shook it open: "Yes, take as many as you can."
Are you kidding? This is a supernatural crystal core. It is the energy source that can upgrade her space again. Of course, she will accept anyone who comes.
Mo Fei whispered to Lin Jiyuan, "Don't worry, we will divide the spoils when we return to town as we agreed before we came here."
Lin Jiyuan really laughed this time, and inexplicably felt that Mo Fei was a little cute. He clearly wanted these supernatural crystal cores very badly, but he still remembered to share the spoils with him.
But soon, the speed at which combustible ice killed zombies slowed down.
Zombies, like human mutants, also have an evolutionary mechanism.
Their evolution depends on unlimited food intake.
Eat ordinary people, eat people with special powers, eat mutated animals.
The most common zombies, namely the level one zombies, are many times stronger than ordinary people.
They are not afraid of high temperatures or severe cold, and can run fast on the ground wearing the thinnest clothes. They can lock onto their targets from a distance. Even if their limbs are broken and their internal organs are crushed, as long as the nerves in their brains are still there, they will not stop.
Once evolved, its attack power will only become stronger, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a "perpetual motion machine."
The city’s central urban area is the hardest hit area by the zombie outbreak.
It is also the place where zombies evolve the fastest.
Soon, Mo Fei and his friends encountered level two and level three zombies.
The characteristics of these two levels of zombies are very obvious, and they have also evolved special powers as zombies.
They also use elements like wind, fire, thunder and lightning.
There are even many special powers.
Naturally, their zombie bodies were also strengthened.
Mo Fei looked at the sky and felt that God was very fair.
Allow all creatures to evolve equally, even zombies are no exception.
Previously, combustible ice could strangle 10 zombies in one minute. After reaching level 2 or 3, the killing rate dropped to 5 zombies per minute.
Fortunately, Lin Jiyuan was able to find the energy to take action while driving.
With the double stranglehold of ice and electric powers, they quickly crossed the street.
Unexpectedly, more zombies jumped out at the next intersection.
These zombies blocked the road ahead, forming a dead corner together with the scrapped cars on the roadside.
Lin Jiyuan reversed the car urgently and turned into another street. Mo Fei was terrified watching him all the way.
She wanted to help and didn't bother to test the strength of combustible ice, so she directly activated the law of space.
With the blessing of the law of space, all zombies within a 20-square-meter range close to the car are regarded as invading targets by the law of space.
Then the zombies swarmed up and were bounced away. The zombies continued to swarm up, and countless red dots locked onto them. Ten seconds later, the zombies turned into a bloody mist.
I was stunned by the combustible ice.
He thought it was Lin Jiyuan who did it, and patted the back of the driver's seat in fear:
“You’re so awesome?”
He suddenly remembered that he had threatened Lin Jiyuan to eat him in the cave.
If Lin Jiyuan holds a grudge, he will be in trouble along with these zombies.
In the terrified eyes of Combustible Ice, Lin Jiyuan pointed at Mo Fei.
"Oh my God, my dear sister, you are such a powerful person?! I sincerely apologize for the offense I caused you before, but you can't bear a grudge." Ran Bing praised Mo Fei with the most flattering words.
Mo Fei did nothing but rely on the space to kill randomly:
"Who are you calling sister?"
"I was wrong. You are my dear elder brother. They all call you Sister Mo, so from now on I will call you Brother Fei. What do you think?"
Methane hydrate is a flexible person, whoever is stronger is right.
"Okay." Mo Fei nodded.
With Mo Fei's laws of space, they can now move forward smoothly.
No matter whether it is a level one, two, three or four zombie, they will all turn into blood mist in front of Mo Fei.
When they were about five or six kilometers away from the Central International Community, the three of them suddenly discovered that not far ahead there was a large group of zombies chasing a group of people.
The slowest runner was wearing a pair of rain boots, a sheepskin hat with two ears on his head, and a white fleece coat. He was running with all his might.
The people in front of her ran desperately, splitting off into several paths, seemingly not caring about the life or death of the last person, who was about to be caught up by the zombies behind him.
Shen Mianmian never thought that she would be betrayed by her teammates.
She is a healing psychic, and just like every game needs a nurse, she plays a supporting role in the team.
With her, she can treat anyone in the team as long as they are not scratched by zombies, and there is no need to find additional medical supplies.
Unexpectedly, when we were out looking for supplies today and were about to pack up, one of our teammates got impatient and used a move on the zombie group, causing them to be discovered by the zombie army.
At times like this, of course everyone runs away when disaster strikes.
Shen Mianmian, who had no offensive power, was originally running in the middle, but was pulled by her teammates and fell, thus falling to the last place.
When Chen Mianmian was in school, she never passed the physical education exam.
Even though her physical fitness had been enhanced after awakening her special powers, she could not outrun those equally upgraded and tireless zombies.
But even though she knew she would die here sooner or later, Chen Mianmian still ran madly, shouting as she ran, "What the hell, I won't let you go even if I become a ghost!"
Unexpectedly, he ran in front of a black RV and was about to hit this huge vehicle.
Methane hydrate watched with great interest from the car: "Why is there still fraud?"
Fortunately, Lin Jiyuan had first-rate driving skills and he braked suddenly to stop the car just in front of Shen Mianmian, only knocking her down instead of sending her flying.
"I didn't expect that I would be hit by a car before being bitten to death by zombies! I'm dead!"
A wailing sound was heard in front of the car.
Shen Mianmian covered her face with her hat, listened to the crazy footsteps and roars of the zombies, and closed her eyes resignedly.
After waiting for more than ten seconds, Shen Mianmian found that she was not dead yet.
Instead, I heard the sound of a car door opening and the slow and firm sound of human footsteps on the snow.
She pulled back her hat and looked up.
A woman wearing a white turtleneck sweater inside, a haze blue scarf, and a black down jacket outside appeared in front of Shen Mianmian.
Mo Fei tucked her hair that was blown by the wind. Behind her was a sky full of blood mist and sunlight as fine as gold. She exhaled a breath of hot air and stretched out a clean white hand towards Chen Mianmian who was lying in the snow.
Is she here to save me?
After the trance, Shen Mianmian put his hand on it firmly.
