Chapter 56 Bai Qi
Mo Fei walked more than two hundred meters and saw a burst of fire after turning a corner.
Several shelves not far away were on fire, illuminating the surrounding area.
Next to these shelves, three zombies with evolved super powers are fighting.
This was the first time that Mo Fei saw a fight between zombies.
Wind, fire, thunder and lightning are all common types of supernatural elements.
The area was filled with wind blades, fireballs, and lightning, and Mo Fei had the illusion that he had strayed into some magical world.
She sensed that the three zombies in front of her had similar levels of abilities, and they were all level four zombies that could produce level A ability crystal cores.
From this perspective, Bai City’s central urban area really lives up to its reputation.
Mo Fei had never seen a single level 4 zombie outside, but three of them suddenly appeared here.
Level 4 zombies can produce A-level crystal cores, and one A-level crystal core can increase the space upgrade progress by 10%.
Who can resist this temptation? !
Mo Fei originally thought that zombies would only attack humans and mutated plants and animals, but he didn't expect that they would kill each other after evolving to a certain level.
Neither of them was willing to give in to the other and they started fighting and biting each other.
They were so inseparable from each other.
Zombies all feed on flesh and blood, so why do they attack each other?
Could it be for the supernatural crystal cores in each other's bodies?
Isn't it just the psychics who are trying to upgrade, the zombies are too?
If zombies can hunt each other's superpower crystal cores, then is it the same for superpowers? Mo Fei was scared to death by this idea.
Mo Fei touched his neck. The attack range of his supernatural powers of wind, fire, thunder and lightning was very large. As long as these zombies had their hands free, they could definitely kill him outside the 20-square-meter range.
She suppressed her curiosity and tiptoed in another direction.
Mo Fei planned to wait until the three zombies were all defeated, and then find an opportunity to come and reap the benefits. When she estimated that she was out of the visual and auditory range of the three zombies, she had already arrived at the electrical appliance area.
Air conditioners, fans, air coolers, humidifiers, and other electrical appliances that can cool or blow out cool air were snapped up at the beginning of the disaster. However, washing machines, dryers, irons, vacuum cleaners, sweeping robots, and the like can still be found in large quantities, but they are all covered with a thick layer of dust.
Mo Fei turned the light on the lamp cap to the minimum, so low that he could just vaguely see a little light.
She quickly put some electrical appliances in packaging boxes into the space.
Anyway, she has a generator. When she really runs out of diesel, she can use food to exchange electricity with Lin Jiyuan. Thinking of this, Lin Jiyuan's ability is really economical and practical. Mo Fei gave Lin Jiyuan a thumbs up in his heart.
Turning around a row of shelves, Mofei has harvested air fryers, microwave ovens, pressure cookers, electric ovens, rice cookers, dishwashers, electric water heaters...
What surprised her even more was that no one had touched the electric blankets, electric quilts, water-heated blankets, electric heating clothes, space heaters, hair dryers, razors, and oversized electric massage chairs.
Mo Fei also did not miss out on entertainment facilities such as projectors, televisions, radios, and stereos.
These are non-essential survival supplies.
It was like chicken ribs to others, but Mo Fei had the space and could get electricity, so it would be a shame if she didn't take it away.
Mo Fei originally wanted to find out where the supermarket's warehouse was, but the supermarket was too large.
She wandered around inside and almost got lost.
Everything I touched that I thought was useful was moved into the space. Even the wooden shelves were not spared. Now that the weather is so cold, the wooden shelves can be chopped into wood and used as firewood.
To be on the safe side, Mo Fei did not go any further.
She decided to go back to the supermarket entrance and wait for Lin Jiyuan and the others to come.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to find her when they entered the supermarket, and instead would be discovered by the three zombies, which would be bad.
Mo Fei walked back carefully, not daring to make any noise.
Unexpectedly, a fireball the size of a basketball came out from somewhere and shot straight towards Mo Fei's face.
Mo Fei broke out in a cold sweat. Her body reacted faster than her brain, and she almost brushed the edge of the fireball before rolling to the side.
The temperature of the fireball was at least a thousand degrees, and it melted directly into the wall behind Mo Fei, producing a cloud of burnt smoke.
The fireball was too hot, and even if it only touched him a little, Mo Fei's down jacket would quickly catch fire. Mo Fei had only experienced such a high temperature before when he was transformed from a fire bear by Mo Jiayue Beast.
Mo Fei quickly threw off the burning down jacket. Her shoulders were burned by the fire and it hurt a lot, but she didn't have time to care. She just ran out, wanting to leave this place as soon as possible.
A figure suddenly appeared not far behind Mo Fei.
It was one of the three zombies.
Mo Fei didn't expect that the three zombies would be determined the winner so quickly, and the winning one even detected her scent.
When the zombie saw that his attack missed, he was stunned for a moment like an ordinary person.
In the light of the fire, its pale and ferocious face twitched, its sharp teeth turned outward, it opened its mouth wide, let out a long howl, and then rushed into the attack range of Mo Fei's space law.
The laws of space took effect immediately and the zombies were flung away.
Before Mo Fei could be happy, fireballs were fired one after another from where the zombie flew out. This zombie was very smart. After being attacked by the inexplicable strange force, it never approached Mo Fei again. Instead, it started to attack from a distance.
It directly transformed into a whole row of fire walls and attacked Mo Fei.
"Damn! You have 72 transformations! Why don't you transform into a flaming mountain?"
Mo Fei cursed loudly. She still had room to dodge the fireball to the left or right, but the wall of fire coming towards her would immediately burn her to charcoal if she ran a step slower.
It would be a unique idea for this zombie to open a funeral home and take on cremation business.
At the critical moment of life and death, Mo Fei couldn't help but think.
Seeing that there was no way to trick the zombie into the 20-square-meter space law range, Mo Fei spotted a corner and slipped directly into the space while escaping.
In the supermarket, this level 4 zombie suddenly lost its hunting target, and confusion flashed in its eyes.
It began to search the place where Murphy disappeared.
In a corner that no one noticed, there was a person hiding in the darkness, seeing everything. He pulled the corner of his mouth and revealed a faint smile. Unexpectedly, she survived.
The scene in Mo Fei's space was completely different from that in the supermarket.
There is never a dark night here, never extreme heat or cold, and it is as quiet as a paradise.
If Mo Fei was not the only one who could come in, Mo Fei might have lived in this space for a long time with his family.
But being alone is too lonely. Humans are social animals after all.
How lonely it would be if I were the only one alive in the world.
Mo Fei fell to the ground in the space, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.
After lying there for about 2 minutes, she took off all her outer clothes and pants, leaving only a suspender and shorts.
Mo Fei's shoulders and back were burned by the fireballs, and now blisters of various sizes have appeared on his body, which is very painful.
She gritted her teeth and used a pair of sterilized scissors to cut open a blister on her body to let the pus inside out, but she did not cut off the skin of the blister.
These blister skins can protect the wound surface and prevent infection and inflammation.
After draining the pus, Mo Fei applied the burn ointment with great effort.
The time in the space flows twice as slow as the time outside, which means that 10 minutes in the space is equivalent to about 5 minutes outside.
I think the zombie would look for her at the original place for a while before looking for another place after seeing her suddenly disappear. Mo Fei decided to stay in the space for 20 minutes. After about 10 minutes in the outside world, the zombie would wander to another place if it couldn't find her for such a long time.
Mo Fei lay in the space for a while, the burns on his body still hurt slightly.
She stood up and looked at the huge space of 200,000 cubic meters in front of her.
The mountains in the distance were so far away from her that they almost formed a straight line.
This space is good, but it is too quiet. The space is completely separated from the outside world, and the intercom cannot be used here. Mo Fei can't contact anyone.
The only noise in the space was from the fish that Mo Fei kept in the river. They would occasionally flutter out of the water and make noises. These fish were ordinary fish at first, but after growing and multiplying in the river, they gradually formed a large school of fish.
The golden line barbels that were previously discovered at the bottom of the ancient well now number hundreds, swimming leisurely in the river.
"It takes a thousand days to raise fish, but only a moment to use them. I'm free anyway, so I might as well cook. I'll make a fish feast for everyone." Mo Fei touched his chin and began to think about the menu.
There was a complete set of kitchen utensils in the space, all neatly arranged by Mo Fei. She would cook the dishes that took a lot of time in the town in the space. Over time, the things in the space became more complete than those in the town kitchen.
"Fish head in white soup, fish head with chopped pepper, fish with sharp pepper, fish in sour tomato soup, boiled fish fillet, pickled fish, sweet and sour fish, fish in golden soup with lemon, spicy braised fish, steamed fish, black fish with scallion oil, hand-made fish balls, sashimi, fried fish fillet..."
Mo Fei was writing the menu on his iPad and felt like he almost didn't recognize the word "fish".
After writing the menu, Mo Fei picked up the bucket and net bag and stood by the river: "Who will take the initiative today?" The only response she got was the splash of water from the fish.
The magical iron pot in the space started working again, boiling the fish soup vigorously.
While waiting for Tang, Mo Fei was not idle either. He walked back and forth on the black soil, watering the plants and touching every stretched leaf.
After the last space upgrade, the area of black soil in the space has expanded more than ten times.
So the crops planted on Mo Fei's small farm increased.
These crops are not picky about sunlight, temperature or humidity. They take root in the black soil and grow slowly. Even without watering with space river water, they grow well. However, those watered with space river water grow faster and produce larger fruits than those not watered.
Mo Fei looked at the eggplants thicker than his thighs, the long beans that were long enough to be used for skipping ropes, the potatoes as big as a washbasin, and the black grapes as big as fists, like a happy farmer. If Grandpa Yuan were still alive, how happy he would be to see these fruits and vegetables. Mo Fei couldn't help thinking.
At the same time, Mo Fei had a new idea.
She looked at the endless black soil under her feet. If this black soil was transported to the outside world and watered with a little space river water or ancient well water every day, could these crops survive in the outside environment?
If possible, everyone in the town could grow their own.
No need to worry about running out of food one day.
It doesn’t matter even if the black soil in the space is emptied by myself.
Anyway, the space can be upgraded using crystal cores.
Mo Fei had no ability to protect himself before, and only thought about how to protect the space. He also didn't trust anyone other than his family, so he never thought about this. After all, a person's power is limited.
But now, she thinks the idea is feasible.
Mo Fei felt that he had found a path to sustainable development, but he was not in town and could not experiment.
The fish soup was still bubbling, but Mo Fei ignored it. The big iron pot would automatically stop heating when the soup was cooked to perfection.
She changed her clothes and put on an apricot sweater, camel-colored wide-leg pants, and an apricot long down coat. She put on a plaid scarf, wool socks and sneakers, almost wrapping herself up like a ball. Of course, most importantly, she did not forget the gas mask and protective clothing, and did not forget to spray half a bottle of Liushen floral water on herself.
According to the rules learned in the past few months, low-level zombies usually lock onto their targets by hearing and seeing, while high-level zombies lock onto their targets by smelling.
Mo Fei smelled his arm through the gas mask and was almost suffocated by the smell of toilet water.
It's done. I wonder if any zombie can still smell me.
Mo Fei clapped his hands and reappeared at the place where she had disappeared before.
Ten minutes had passed in the real world, and the zombie was no longer there. Mo Fei breathed a sigh of relief and immediately ran outside according to the location in his memory.
Seeing the exit right in front of him, Mo Fei slowly stopped.
The blood in her body almost froze.
Who would have thought that the level 4 zombie would directly block the entrance of the supermarket.
In order to avoid being discovered by Murphy, it hid in a dark corner near the door.
If Mo Fei didn't have the ability to concentrate on listening to sounds, he might not have discovered it at all.
At that time, Mo Fei would rush to the exit on her own, and the zombies would be able to kill her directly with the fire wall before the space law took effect.
The fourth-level zombies are surprisingly so smart.
The level 4 zombie may have realized that it had been discovered by Mo Fei, so it stopped pretending and walked out of the shadows. It stood at the entrance of the supermarket with its back to the light, and two balls of flame had appeared in its hands.
Mo Fei calmed down and threw out a lot of frozen meat from the space.
Chicken, beef, pork, lamb, and even live fish...
The level 4 zombie didn't even look at the frozen meat, but bit the live fish, tore it in half and chewed it. The eating action took only a second, and its two blood-red eyes were fierce, watching Mo Fei's every move.
It could see that Mo Fei's power was very strange and he was not an easy prey.
But the huge energy hidden in Mo Fei was nowhere to be found in front of the Level 4 zombies. The few live fish made him even more eager, and he tried his best to get more.
Mo Fei put one hand behind her back and pressed the intercom again.
Three knocks.
Calculating the time, it had been at least twenty minutes since she last pressed the intercom.
Why haven't Lin Jiyuan and the others come yet...
Did they also encounter level 4 zombies?
Fortunately, this time, after 2 seconds, a voice came from the other end of the walkie-talkie.
It was Lin Jiyuan's cough.
Three knocks mean you've met someone and it's inconvenient to talk, and a cough means they're on their way.
In the men's clothing store on the 4th floor, Lin Jiyuan stood up, panting.
Blood was flowing down from the top of his head, almost covering his face.
He raised his sleeve to wipe it. At his feet, a level 4 zombie was deader than dead.
This is a speed-type zombie, and Lin Jiyuan was almost bitten by it several times.
He almost exhausted most of his supernatural powers before he was able to defeat him.
Lin Jiyuan took out the supernatural crystal core that Mo Fei had given him before from his backpack and began to absorb it rapidly. After he recovered a little, he raised his knife and found an A-grade crystal core in the zombie's head.
But he didn't absorb it immediately. He wiped it and put it in his bag.
Also placed in the backpack were several vacuum-compressed, thickened, warm down jackets.
Carrying all these things on Lin Jiyuan's back looked a bit funny.
Lin Jiyuan stood up, picked up the intercom and tuned to the combustible ice channel:
"How are you guys doing? Something's going on over there with Mo Fei. I'll go to the first floor first."
From the combustible ice side came Shen Mianmian's anxious voice:
"He...he's gone."
"What do you mean by missing?"
Lin Jiyuan was stunned.
Just as Shen Mianmian didn't know how to answer, she heard the voice of combustible ice coming from a distance: "Don't spread rumors, who is missing? Am I missing? Am I not here?"
Judging from the sound, he was obviously injured as well.
Although he still made crackling sounds as before, the sound was obviously much weaker than before.
Shen Mianmian immediately said into the intercom, “He shows up again, so we’ll go there right away.”
After she finished speaking, she stood up immediately, her original worry turned into anger:
"That's right! It's so dark here, and you disappeared without saying a word! The intercom was on you, and I felt around on the ground for a long time before I found it. I was afraid I might have touched a zombie."
"Alright, alright. Want some ham? I'll give you a piece."
Methane hydrate slowly approached, and the lamp on his head flickered.
As he spoke, he put a whole ham on the ground.
"I don't eat it." Shen Mianmian said unhappily, who eats raw ham!
It was dark and quiet here just now, but Ran Bing was nowhere to be found. She was so scared that her heart almost stopped and she was ready to use her healing power at any time.
"You really don't know what's good. No wonder you're so skinny." Ke Ran Bing rolled his eyes. "I fought those four zombies for three hundred rounds before I saved this piece of ham. I'll ask my eldest brother to cook it for me later."
"Who is your eldest brother?" Shen Mianmian asked as she raised her hand and pressed the place where the combustible ice was bleeding.
"Mo Fei. You still call her Sister Mo. What era's name is that? I really can't stand it. I advise you to call her brother like me in the future. Brother, welcome, welcome to my place. Call Mo Fei brother, and she will cook for you. You're right if you listen to me. I won't tell anyone else."
The wound of the methane hydrate was healing visibly, and his ability to explode was the same as before.
Shen Mianmian rolled her eyes, her forehead covered with sweat from overusing her supernatural powers.
She carefully picked up a precious energy crystal core, quickly absorbed it, and immediately grabbed the combustible ice: "Hurry up, Sister Mo is in danger!"
"Don't pull me! I haven't got the ham yet!" Ran Bing glared but never forgot his original intention.
At this moment, at the entrance of the supermarket, Mo Fei had been cornered by this level 4 zombie.
Perhaps it saw Mo Fei's ability, so it directly created four walls of fire to surround Mo Fei.
When Mo Fei was about to repeat the same trick to enter the space again, he heard a low and gentle voice.
"Don't be afraid."
A tall man appeared behind the level 4 zombie.
Mo Fei didn't even see how the man moved, and the terrifying level 4 zombie slowly fell to the ground. As the zombie fell to the ground and died, the four walls of fire that trapped her also disappeared.
"Are you okay?"
The man turned on a strong flashlight and shone it on the ceiling, illuminating the surrounding area and revealing his face. He walked to Mo Fei and looked at her with his head slightly lowered.
Is this a human or a ghost? This was the first thought that flashed through Mo Fei's mind when he saw him.
The man stood beside Mo Fei gently and politely, his fine hair half covering his eyebrows, his brows and eyes were as deep as stars, his black coat was slightly open, revealing the snow-white cashmere sweater underneath, exuding a warm breath everywhere.
The only thing that contradicts his temperament is the black halberd in his hand.
In this day and age, Mo Fei had only seen halberds used as weapons on TV dramas.
"I'm fine. Thank you."
Mo Fei felt that she was looking at the man for too long and was very rude, so she immediately bowed her head and thanked him.
"My name is Bai Qi. It's not safe here. I don't know why you are here alone, but you should leave quickly before it gets dark. I can take you outside." The man introduced himself and spoke patiently.
"Bai Qi?" Mo Fei was stunned. "It's a very special name."
"What's so special about him? Bai Qi, the commander of the Qin army, is the god of war who won a surprise victory and shocked the six kingdoms?"
Bai Qi curled his lips and even his eyes curved.
"Yes. He is a very famous general. Most people can't suppress this name."
Mo Fei was relieved to see that the danger was over. No matter if the person in front of him was a human or a ghost, good or bad, at least for now, this person had no ill will towards him. Moreover, Mo Fei knew that Lin Jiyuan and the others were on their way, so he patiently chatted with this person.
"The elders in my family are fond of the history of the Warring States Period, so they gave me this name. I just hope I don't bring disgrace upon myself." Bai Qi's tone was a little depressed when he talked about his elders.
"How can it be an insult? Look, you killed such a powerful zombie just now. I have to thank you for saving me. My name is Mo Fei. Mo means inexplicable, and Fei means literary talent. Of course, I don’t have much literary talent, but I am a good cook." Mo Fei also said a few words casually.
While the two were talking, Bai Qi had already taken out a dagger, and he skillfully dug out the crystal core of the fourth-level zombie.
"Here you go."
Bai Qi immediately handed the A-grade crystal core to Mo Fei.
Mo Fei looked at Bai Qi with a shocked expression, then lowered her head in embarrassment after realizing something was wrong. She really wanted this A-level crystal core, but she didn't kill the zombie. The most important thing was that she was not familiar with Bai Qi.
I was saved by someone, but I still want to take their things. It is not easy to repay a debt of favor.
"Take it. I'm lucky. I just picked up two pieces over there."
Bai Qi took out two more glowing crystal cores from his pocket.
Mo Fei knew without guessing that these must be the other two level four zombies.
But she didn't expect that after defeating them, the fire-type zombie was not in a hurry to seize their crystal cores, but was so anxious to hunt her down?
Isn't she more attractive than the A-grade crystal core?
This allowed Bai Qi, who appeared out of nowhere, to take advantage of the opportunity.
A person's luck is really unpredictable.
Bai Qi saw Mo Fei in a daze and said:
"You can take it. A fortune teller once said that my name is too strong, and if I get any good things, I will not be able to hold them. I have to share them with others to turn misfortune into fortune. I saved your life, so you should consider it as doing me a favor."
Mo Fei thought that there was indeed such a fortune-telling saying in the past, and after hesitating for a while, he finally accepted it. In his heart, he had a better impression of Bai Qi.
As the two walked out, they ran into Lin Jiyuan and others who had rushed over.
"So you have friends here? I wasted my time."
Bai Qi looked normal and nodded to several people with a smile on his face.
"Who is this?"
While talking, Lin Jiyuan stood next to Mo Fei and pulled her behind him.
"Bai Qi. Hello." Bai Qi extended his hand politely.
"Lin Jiyuan." Lin Jiyuan looked the stranger up and down. He could not sense the level of the man's ability. Someone who could appear in the center of this zombie circle could not be without ability. It could only be that his ability level was higher than his.
Mo Fei silently watched the two of them holding hands and exerting force on each other. Wow, they were actually comparing their hand strength.
Shen Mianmian beside him pinched a handful of combustible ice and whispered:
"Do you feel that they are on the verge of a fight?"
"What's braised bean curd sheets?" Methane hydrate was licking the ham, and his tongue tasted salty.
"Get lost..." Shen Mianmian was furious. She wanted to grab the ham and smash it on the combustible ice's head, twice! No, at least three times.
