Chapter 312 The Cat Who is Afraid of Heights
Many people who couldn't squeeze into the crowded night market stalls set up stalls outside.
Guo Xinling was amazed. There were no protective measures here, and it seemed that there were no rules of order, but everyone tacitly agreed not to cause trouble, and the overall atmosphere was peaceful.
Shen Junxie was selling watermelons at a stall not far away. He was wearing a straw hat and many little girls gathered in front of his stall.
He frowned. Luo Yunjin had returned, but there was no news from Lan Xinya. Even the entire garrison team at the Beiming base had disappeared, but their tents and supplies were still there.
"Selling watermelons, selling watermelons! Buy a watermelon and get a little fool like me for free." Li Wu was very enthusiastic in soliciting customers. He held a big loudspeaker in his hand and kept playing the advertisement repeatedly.
These watermelons are all grown on their own hills. Although they are all sandy and seeded, they are precious fruits after all, so people will buy them even if they are sold at a low price.
Tian Xiaomi looked at the dazzling array of snacks and felt that this place was simply paradise. Moreover, since most of the survivors were high-level psychics, they had rich experience and enjoyed life even more.
"I want to settle down here. There are many high-level psychics, a market, and it's close to the mountains and the sea." Guo Xinling's eyes sparkled with stars.
Zhang Yue felt that the environment here was worth learning from by the Xisui Base.
It took me three hours to walk through the entire night market. It was really overwhelming.
"We have arranged accommodation for you on the mountain. Why don't you rest today?" Luo Yunjin had already informed Xiao Choujue and the others in advance and asked them to clear out two tree houses halfway up the mountain.
A mountain road has been built on the stone mountain, and vehicles can drive up it.
Because there are more than 900 people with special abilities on the mountain now, you can see vague houses almost every 100 meters. There are movie theaters, employee cafeterias, conference halls and the like halfway up the mountain, as well as a snack street, which is where the people with special abilities on the mountain usually like to gather.
Zhang Yue followed them up the mountain, his mood becoming more and more complicated. He had to say that the environment here was truly unique, with numerous plants, the air was very fresh, and all kinds of wild flowers could be seen everywhere.
There are many entertainment facilities on the mountain, and there is no need to waste resources to build entertainment facilities at the Xisui base.
They were all accommodated in tree houses, which were double rooms with complete furniture. When they entered the house, they saw that the air conditioner was turned on and the house was very cool. There were also fruit platters and snacks on the wooden table.
The bathrooms provide hot and cold water, and there are even vending machines under the trees.
It's ridiculously exquisite.
Tian Xiaomi discovered that even the quilt on the bed was a carefully embroidered handicraft, and it was sprayed with the lemon-scented perfume on the list, which was very fresh and pleasant.
"Oh my god, is the TV here connected?" The girl who lived in the same room with Hotan Xiaomi said in surprise. She turned on the TV and found that there were two channels that could be searched. They were the homemade TV channels on Stone Mountain. One of them was playing movies, and the other was real-time monitoring of various places in Stone Mountain.
"How did you do that?" Tian Xiaomi threw herself heavily onto the bed, staring at the TV, as if she had returned to the days before the end of the world, where life was extremely comfortable, with TV to watch and snacks to eat.
Awesome!
People living in other tree houses were also shocked. They didn't expect Stone Mountain to be so prosperous and luxurious that they had the energy to build a TV tower on the mountain.
The more Guo Xinling looked, the more frightened she became, and the more curious she became about the Stone Mountain.
"It seems that the rumors are true. There are indeed 24 star-level psychics here, and they are extraordinary. Miss Luo is a third-level star. I suspect there are some with even higher levels of psychic abilities among them." Guo Xinling said hazily while lying on the bed.
"So forming an alliance with them is an extremely correct decision." Zhang Yue was watching the TV with bright eyes. He felt that this technology must also be introduced to the Xisui base to enrich everyone's spiritual sentiments.
Under the cover of night, the nightlife on the hillside of Stone Mountain also began.
All bars and KTVs have started to open at night. Because there are more and more people on the mountain now, many creative people with special abilities have built entertainment venues and facilities on the mountain, trying to make Stone Mountain develop comprehensively.
In the watchtower on the top of the mountain, Luo Yunjin was trying out the remote sensing map newly developed by Qi Chi.
It is equipped with real-time monitoring and field of view magnification function modes, which can directly focus the field of view on the destination through manual control, which is very convenient.
The view from the 1,200-meter-high stone mountain is very broad, and you can almost see the entire Haicheng.
Now, in Haicheng, the streets were clean, devoid of zombies, as the psychics on Stone Mountain were often away on missions. The original parasites seemed to have been killed by the sun, leaving no trace of them.
"Your work is great, how about the speeder?"
"We don't have enough equipment now. We lack a suitable engine. I have assigned a task to a team of psychics to go out and find suitable materials. But I made a few hot air balloons." Qi Chi said.
"Stone Mountain is high enough for us to launch hot air balloons up to a thousand meters high. It can become a great recreational facility."
Luo Yunjin looked at him strangely, "Why are you suddenly paying attention to these things?"
"I think this place is suitable for becoming a scenic check-in spot." Qi Chi said seriously, "Actually, the main reason is to relax through flying. Now that we have the conditions, we should try it more often."
Luo Yunjin had no objection. Everyone had their own hobbies, but she was slightly afraid of heights.
It would be fine if she didn't look down while sitting in the flying car, but there were no protective measures around the hot air balloon, so there was a chance of encountering danger. At such a high distance, even a person with superpowers would have a hard time surviving if they fell. She didn't dare to do this kind of extreme sport before the apocalypse, let alone after the apocalypse.
"Actually, it's because the roads are severely damaged. I believe you saw it when you went out this time. I'm worried that other bases or safe zones will attack us, so I resorted to airdrops." Mo Lian explained.
"It just so happens that we need a group of people with special abilities to contact for skydiving."
Luo Yunjin suddenly felt that they were overthinking it. "I can also use vines to lift people up to a thousand meters."
"This is different. In fact, more than a hundred people with special abilities have signed up, and I am one of them." Xuan Hongyan said seriously.
Luo Yunjin didn't understand their behavior at all. She grabbed Lin Xi's sleeve and said, "How about you try to persuade us? I don't think we need to fight so hard. Wouldn't it be better to just lie down and do nothing?"
"It doesn't matter if they die, we'll continue to recruit people." Lin Xi rubbed her fingers, "Don't worry too much, they are all grown-up children and will be responsible for their own actions."
Qi·Big Child·Chi and Mo·Big Child·Lian fell silent.
Xuan·Big Child·Hongyan shook her head and said with some pride, "I'm fine. Even if I fail to fly, I can still create an ice bridge. The difficult ones should be your mental abilities and artifact transformation abilities."
Luo Yunjin nodded and decided to take back the title of big kid awarded to Xuan Hongyan.
In the early morning of the next day, while the temperature was still low and it was still light, Qi Chi dragged Pei Chuan onto the hot air balloon with him.
A hot air balloon can carry six people. In addition to the two of them, Mo Lian and Xuan Hongyan also went up with parachute backpacks to experiment enthusiastically.
The hot air balloon slowly rose into the sky. Many people with special abilities came over to watch. They thought it was very cool and talked about how they would show off their abilities later.
A strong wind blew, and the hot air balloon did not maintain a height of one thousand meters steadily as Qi Chi had expected, but continued to rise into the air.
The sun gradually rose, the temperature gradually increased, and the heat waves steaming in the hot air balloon became even more fiery. Qi Chi, as the first explorer, jumped out of the hot air balloon. When he landed at an altitude of about 500 meters, he opened his parachute and landed steadily at the foot of the stone mountain.
As a flying idiot with no experience at all, Mo Lian tried to challenge himself.
Although he was extremely brave in jumping from a high altitude, he didn't know how to control the angle and direction. After opening the parachute, he fell straight into a forest on a rocky mountain and got stuck on a tall tree, almost hurting his happiness.
Xuan Hongyan witnessed the two people falling. After saying goodbye to Pei Chuan, she jumped off the hot air balloon and performed a free fall in the air handsomely. Her limbs trembled in various ways, but she landed safely without any danger.
Pei Chuan carefully looked outwards from the hot air balloon. Although he looked very calm at the moment, he was actually very panicked inside.
There was a surveillance camera installed on the hot air balloon, and Luo Yunjin could see that something was not right with Pei Chuan's condition on the balloon.
Generally, when a cat is extremely frightened, it will show this kind of pale face, wide-open eyes, and slightly stiff mouth corners. Its hair is also blown a little messy by the strong wind, making it look like it is frizzy.
"He's not afraid of heights, right?" Luo Yunjin said with some concern.
Qi Chi walked up the mountain and saw Pei Chuanmao, who was in a daze on the surveillance camera.
"That little idiot, he must have forgotten to breathe." Qi Chi quickly dialed the intercom, "Hey, you can jump now, there's no need to retract the hot air balloon."
This time, Qi Chi also wanted to do an experiment to see what would happen to the zombies in the sky city when the hot air balloon soared to an altitude of 10,000 meters, so he specially installed several panoramic high-definition cameras on the hot air balloon.
Pei Chuan Maomao held the walkie-talkie unmoved.
"He can't do this. Let's go and bring the cat back." Luo Yunjin urged Lin Xi to drive the car.
The hot air balloon had risen to four thousand meters at this time and could no longer be seen from the land.
A flying car whizzed into the sky and soon found the hot air balloon and Pei Chuan Maomao standing on it with trembling lips.
Lin Xi opened the car window and said, "Turn into a cat and jump over here."
Pei Chuan Maomao was in a trance: Who am I, where am I, what am I doing...
But he subconsciously turned into a black cat, huddled in the basket and shivering.
Luo Yunjin got angry and directly released a vine to roll the cat from the hot air balloon into the car.
The black cat held its tail between its legs. Although it was not trembling, its pupils were shaking and the fur on its body was falling limply, looking pitiful.
When Lin Xi saw the girl holding the cat in her arms, he dodged and held the cat himself.
Luo Yunjin: ???
"Let him feel the breath of a man, so that he won't be afraid of heights in the future." Lin Xi shrugged.
Pei Chuan's pupils moved: Mao~ (What nonsense are you talking about!)
The car slowly landed and Lin Xi got out holding the black cat.
Qi Chi walked forward worriedly and rubbed the cat's flat head. "I forgot you were afraid of heights. I thought you would get better after so long, but you're still the same as before."
Seeing the cat tuck its tail between its legs in fear, Qi Chi had rarely seen Pei Chuan look so scared.
As if coming back to his senses, Pei Chuan Maomao noticed that he was still being held by Lin Xi, and the other party was even rubbing his fur!
The cat screamed, jumped down, and ran into the grass.
"He might be shy." Luo Yunjin thought Pei Chuan the cat was cute when he was scared and shy. The key was that he didn't shed much hair, unlike the little kitten who was currently shedding.
Lin Xi took out a pack of wet wipes from his pocket and delicately wiped his hands three times after rubbing the cat. Then he took off his coat that was stained with the scent of the black cat and threw it to Qi Chi.
"Let's go have breakfast. We still have guests to entertain, so we're very busy today." Lin Xi took Luo Yunjin's hand very naturally.
At this time in the staff cafeteria, Guo Xinling was once again shocked by the wide variety of food in the cafeteria.
"Is breakfast always so luxurious?" Tian Xiaomi asked the young man standing in line in front.
Ji Yuejiang nodded.
"Wow, there are crayfish too. Crayfish porridge looks delicious." Tian Xiaomi said in shock, her eyes wide open.
Ji Yuejiang continued to nod politely.
As a reserved handsome man, he talks less, listens more, and does more.
"The staple foods here are pasta and rice, so you raise a lot of wheat?" Guo Xinling also looked at Ji Yuejiang. She felt that the young man was very polite and seemed honest and reliable.
Ji Yuejiang pursed her lips and nodded, playing the role of the mute handsome guy very well.
Zhang Yue ordered eight baskets of soup dumplings, eight bowls of cabbage porridge, two plates of pickles, and eight glasses of iced apple juice.
They were arranged to have staff meals in the cafeteria when they went up the mountain last night, and they can have three meals a day for free.
Such meals can be served as lunch or dinner at the Xisui base, but here it is just breakfast, and all the psychics on the Stone Mountain can get it.
Only high-level psychics in Xisui Base have the time to prepare such exquisite food.
In the morning, everyone would eat some roasted sweet potatoes or corn grits porridge at most, and that was considered one of the better meals among all the bases.
There is no harm without comparison. After eating a basket of crab roe soup dumplings, they felt that what they had eaten in the morning was pig food.
In the staff cafeteria, a video of a hot air balloon taking off was being played. Seeing someone parachuting, Tian Xiaomi opened her mouth slightly and said, "They're all so amazing."
"Yeah, this hot air balloon won't be recovered?" Guo Xinling had just finished speaking when she saw the lonely hot air balloon flying up on the screen suddenly being hit by a red light, and then it spontaneously combusted and fell from a high altitude.
By the time it fell to the ground, it had turned into a pool of ashes.
"What was that red light just now?" Zhang Yue frowned. Because the video on the screen was playing in slow motion, he could clearly see that it was a sharp red light ray, like some kind of weapon that could shoot accurately.
The last image sent back by the hot air balloon was aimed at the source of the red rays. A man with black wings was holding a long wooden gun and shooting at the hot air balloon in the air.
"Is that person also the psychic on your Stone Mountain?" Zhang Yue felt a little weird.
"No, it's a zombie." Luo Yunjin and Lin Xi walked into the cafeteria, and she sat at the table opposite the eight people.
"You should have heard about the spaceship that appeared in the sky a few days ago and then descended at a very high speed, right?"
