Chapter 296 Indoor Swimming Pool
Lin Zhongquan soaked all the crystal cores in clean water and put them into a glass jar.
"These crystal cores are extracted from people with special abilities. You can imagine how much pain they are in. Most of them will not die after their crystal cores are taken out, and they truly experience the feeling of having their special abilities taken away." Lin Zhongquan sighed.
For moral reasons, these crystal cores cannot be used by others. It is best to find the owner and return them.
Mu Lian's attention was all on the child, and she was entertaining the baby the whole time.
"Lin Xi and the others haven't come back yet. I hope nothing happened to them?" Luo Yunjin couldn't help but ask. It had been almost six months and there was no news.
"No." Mu Lian took off the necklace hanging around her neck, opened the gold-decorated olive fruit, and ran her fingers across the small mirror. "My divination shows that he and Lin Cang are doing well, and it seems that they will be back soon."
She looked at Luo Yunjin apologetically and said, "I'm sure I've wronged you during this period. Don't worry, if Xiao Xi doesn't obey and bullies you in the future, tell me and I'll beat the shit out of him."
Luo Yunjin frowned. A lot of things had happened recently, making her inexplicably nervous.
Many plots were glossed over in the original comics.
Things like these high-level psychic crystal cores were only circulated in a small range in the comics and did not expand to the entire Blue Star level.
It was the heroine Yao Mier who uncovered the dirty deeds done by those people and established the Association for the Protection of People with Superpowers. As a result, she gained the support of many people with superpowers and was called the savior goddess.
But now, Yao Mier has turned into a zombie and her whereabouts are unknown. The male protagonist Li Heng is on the stone mountain, but he doesn't look very smart.
Sometimes, she really wondered if she had put on the wrong book.
Many things happened that were inconsistent with her impression of the plot.
Moreover, there seems to be no character named Lin Xi in the original text, and there is very little introduction to hidden families such as the Lin family and the Mu family.
Lin Xi had told her before that he was reborn and that he still had someone to avenge.
enm
So there is still no clue as to who the bad villain is.
Maybe it was because she and the Rose Team were so strong that they successfully overcame many difficulties and obstacles along the way. They were lucky and had overcome the difficulties without realizing it.
However, it is indeed very inconvenient on the Stone Mountain without Lin Xi and Qi Chi.
Because there are no other thunder-type and equipment-modification-type psychics on the mountain.
As the temperature gets higher and higher, the Stone Mountain is already very high, and it is particularly obvious on the top of the mountain that the Tree of Life is a little wilted.
Before, there were a lot of floods when it rained, but now it is dry and the ground is cracking.
The small shops at the foot of the mountain are almost unable to operate.
Moreover, Qi Chi was not here, so the machine stored on the mountain that could use crystal cores to drive energy could not be repaired if it broke down.
In the past few days, the air conditioners in several households have broken down.
Ice-type and water-type psychics have become popular.
Many swimming pools have been dug in the mountains and forests, and people soak in the water when they have nothing to do.
Before going home, I went to buy some ice cubes from the ice-type mutant.
In the building on the top of the mountain, all the furniture and appliances were made by Qi Chi himself and are of very good quality.
However, due to the long-term energy supply, the central air conditioning in the tree house and the courtyard broke down.
In order to cool down, Xuan Hongya would go to all the houses on the top of the mountain and put some ice cubes every once in a while.
Duan Ya and others specially dug a cellar twenty meters deep to store ice.
"It's not a good idea for us to go on like this. It's too hot. There are no ice-type mutants on our mountain. The water of water-type mutants is mainly used for life and production and cannot be wasted at will." Niu Bi on the next mountain looked sad.
Zhong Yang was only wearing a pair of shorts. His body was tanned by the sun and he looked like dried meat. No more sweat could be produced.
Yuan Huan was very worried. They definitely couldn't go out to look for supplies during the day. In order to save fuel, they would not turn on the air conditioner in the car.
Although the deep caves on the mountain are cooler than outside, it is not a good idea for everyone to hide inside all the time.
In the same situation as them was Shen Junxie’s earth hill.
He also took in quite a few people with special abilities. Of course, most of them were low-level people with special abilities who had no chance to enter the Stone Mountain. Fortunately, there were two people with ice special abilities among them, so their life on the mountain was a little better than that on Yuan Huan's mountain.
"It's not a solution for us to continue like this. It's not only hot now, but also there is a water shortage. We have to share some of the water to grow vegetables. If we continue like this, the loss will be too great." Li Wu was extremely worried and his face looked like a bitter melon.
"The supplies in Haicheng have either been completely looted or washed away by the previous seawater. Now we can't find any other replacement supplies. We can only buy them in the small shops at the foot of the mountain, and they are very expensive." Zhang Liu took out the few crystal cores he had left, feeling very desperate.
Shen Junxie sighed, "I'll go ask them for help. At least you can take refuge on the Stone Mountain."
"Captain! What about you? We have followed you for so long and have experienced so many hardships together. We are not afraid of difficulties. We will live together and die together. We will not leave!" Li Wu and Zhang Liu expressed their loyalty.
Shen Junxie glanced at the two of them deeply, then looked at the silent survivors leaning against the wall, and sighed deeply, "I'll go and beg them."
When Shen Junxie arrived at the foot of Stone Mountain, Yuan Huan was still hesitating in front of him.
"Are you here for help too?" Yuan Huan's eyes lit up when he saw Shen Junxie.
The environment is too harsh now. Except for the high-level psychics on the Stone Mountain who can still maintain the trees and water resources on the mountain, almost all other hills have suffered.
It was bearable at first, but as the days grew longer and the daylight hours increased, they all realized something was wrong.
I'm afraid this kind of scorching sun will last as long as the rain.
The two decided to visit Luo Yunjin together.
After Luo Jinbei knew their purpose, he directly refused to take them to the top of the mountain.
"It's not just you. Many electrical appliances on our mountain have malfunctioned and cannot be repaired. Now many survivors are relying on water and ice to survive the heat. We have nearly two hundred people with special abilities to feed on our Stone Mountain, as well as a mountain of plants and mutant animals. We really can't help you." Luo Jinbei was telling the truth.
Although the stone mountain is a bit cramped, it is still much better than the other earth and metal mountains outside.
At least there is no shortage of supplies here, and all the high-level psychics nearby are gathered here. For them, life is just not as convenient as before.
But for Shen Junxie and Yuan Huan, they have reached a moment of life and death.
"We are not here to be accepted by you, but to find some work to do here. It is difficult to plant trees in the current weather. Our daily water consumption is already high, so we thought that if we could work here in exchange for supplies, at least we can save manpower." Yuan Huan said.
Luo Jinbei thought for a moment, "As you know, many spies with ulterior motives have set foot here several times. Even the newly recruited psychics have to be on trial for a month at the foot of the mountain."
"However, we do plan to build an indoor swimming pool and pond every 100 meters on the mountain. It doesn't require many people, though. If you're willing to do the hard labor, I can guarantee to provide three meals a day, but nothing else."
This is the best solution Luo Jinbei can think of.
Moreover, a 1,200-meter-high stone mountain only requires 9 indoor swimming pools and ponds. According to the speed and ability of these star-level psychics, a swimming pool and a pond can be completed in just one day.
But it's too hot now and no one wants to work during the day, so this matter has been postponed again and again.
Now that someone has offered it to him, he must make some plans, which will be good for both parties.
Chen Yueliang is the designer of this construction project. The indoor swimming pool was designed by her. With her current supernatural powers, she can release ten tons of pure water in an instant.
She can use all the water in a swimming pool by herself in one day.
When she learned that Shen Junxie and Yuan Huan were going to send people to work in the mountains, she immediately became excited.
She originally planned to design a more ordinary one that would be sufficient.
Now that she has more manpower, she plans to design a beautiful and practical swimming pool to save the supernatural people in the mountains from having to buy ice to take home every time to cool down.
On the first day of building the swimming pool, everyone was busy laying the base and digging the water hole.
The rocky mountain is covered with tall trees, which block the sunlight and make the temperature five to six degrees lower than outside.
Chen Yueliang has very strict requirements, and every process must be reviewed by her personally.
So everyone worked very hard.
Every once in a while, Chen Yueliang would condense a few large water balls, allowing thirsty people to scoop up the water and drink it themselves.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner are packed and delivered by a special chef, and one or two fruits are given as a gift.
This has brought comfort to many people, as the fruit can be canned and stored for a long time when taken home.
You can also pack up any unfinished meals and take them home with your family.
Because the benefits are good, most people work very hard.
Niu Bi sighed as he dug the soil, "I never thought that in just a few months, this mountain would grow to its current size. It is said that there are 23 star-level superpowers on the mountain, which is enough to make them walk across the Blue Planet."
"That's right, and the food here is really good. I haven't eaten rice in a long time. Every day is like opening a blind box, and it seems that the food is different." Zhong Yang has now become a foodie. He thinks about what to eat today every day, and his appetite is amazing.
Yuan Huan was also laying cement not far away. He wiped the sweat from his forehead with the towel draped over his shoulder, a smile on his lips.
I feel like life is full of hope~
The overall shape of the indoor swimming pool is a rectangular block, 30 meters high, with only one floor, and the pool inside is large enough to accommodate 100 people.
The reason why it is so large is to disperse the personnel. Not everyone likes swimming, and in the end there may be only a few people coming to one of the swimming pools every day.
The venue is large and it is convenient for everyone to rest.
And opposite the swimming pool is a lake with clear water.
The surrounding doors and windows are all made of glass, and you can see the scenery outside through the windows.
There is even a separate exit connected to the lake, so you can bring a swimming ring or a small raft and play in the lake.
The tall trees stand tall and straight, and a little sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves onto the lake. The shimmering water is reflected on the glass of the swimming pool, sparkling.
The scenery is beautiful.
Shen Junxie, Yuan Huan and others saw with their own eyes dozens of people with water-based abilities pouring water into the dug pits. The scene was very spectacular.
Especially the water-type star-level mutant, clean water swept down from the sky in an arc-shaped circle.
Cui Hun also came to help. He was an eighth-level mutated water-type ability user, and his control over water was even stronger than that of ordinary water-type ability users.
It only takes three hours to fill an entire lake with water.
Many mutant animals came to settle near the lake. Occasionally, you can see a few little yellow ducks floating on the water and quacking. Behind them, a group of corgi dogs with kind smiles on their faces also imitated their posture and were able to float on the water.
Once you get used to this kind of work, you will find it very easy. Everyone works together, there are no zombies and no utilitarian things here, so everyone is in a relatively happy mood during this period.
But the good times didn't last long.
Just when they were building a swimming pool 600 meters high, Yuan Huan dug out a ball of soft bacterial substance from the ground.
It seems to be the legendary Ganoderma lucidum.
But Luo Jinbei said righteously that it was impossible, "Our Stone Mountain was only born more than half a year ago, there is no way this thing can grow on it, so let's just throw it away."
Yuan Huan threw it away obediently.
It was then picked up by Shen Junxie. After he washed the bacteria with water, the whole thing turned into a transparent colloidal substance.
Thinking it was non-toxic, he secretly took it back to nourish his team members.
But you don’t know until you make up for it, and you’ll be shocked when you do.
That night, all those who had eaten the abnormal bacteria vomited uncontrollably. Several weak people burped on the spot, and several roundworm-like creatures crawled out of their mouths.
It's a parasite!
Shen Junxie was horrified, but even he had eaten it. At this time, strip-shaped creatures were surging on the skin of his right arm.
In order to save his life, he ran to Stone Mountain for help at night.
"You just stay at the foot of the mountain. I'm going to find someone with healing abilities." Luo Jinbei forbade them to go up the mountain.
"Bullshit! We can't wait any longer. If this goes on, we will all die!" Li Wu's body had swollen to twice its size.
In order to prevent them from bringing the parasites on their bodies up the mountain, Luo Jinbei asked all the psychics present to keep an eye on them, and then went to notify Xiao Choujue and Yuan Xiaoni to go down the mountain to treat them.
"No, these parasites are smarter than anything we've seen before. As long as we use our healing abilities, they'll burrow elsewhere." Xiao Choujue said with a sullen face, "They can only be removed surgically."
Everyone's expression changed slightly. You know, the current sanitary conditions are not good and there is no suitable operating environment.
"Doesn't Luo Yunjin know how to grow magical fruits? She can definitely save us!" Shen Junxie thought of the magical abilities the girl revealed to him when they first met, and his eyes lit up.
Upon hearing this, the others also looked over hopefully.
"There are so many of you, and some of you have been infected by parasites before, but the rejuvenation fruit has no effect. If you want to treat it, you may need to use the resurrection fruit." Xiao Choujue learned about the crops planted by Luo Yunjin and knew the effects of each crop.
"But even Xiao Jin can only plant one Resurrection Fruit at a time, with an interval of seven days between each planting. That is to say, only one of you can eat the fruit." Xiao Choujue said as he secretly paid attention to the expressions of these people.
"But there is another way. If the infestation is not serious, you can cut off the place where the parasite is parasitic. Maybe you can save a life."
