Chapter 78

Under the dark sky, the light of the community was like a huge lighthouse in a deserted city. The eyes of all the people and zombies in the city were focused on this inconspicuous community before the end of the world.

The lush green neighborhood was filled with the sound of various devices such as elevators being powered on again. The corners of the buildings that had not seen the light for a long time in the apocalypse were illuminated again.

The plants curiously poked their heads out from the corners to check on the changes in the building.

Some glowing chandeliers were curiously flicked by the leaves, and the light and shadow left swaying and playful arcs between the windows.

People looked at the lighted house and were speechless for a long time. After a while, they burst into huge cheers! They succeeded! They really made a power station that can be powered by superpowers! This power station can be driven by wind, fire, lightning, and water superpowers. Different superpowers correspond to different receiving channels.

The water-based ability is also connected to the water storage tank nearby. After the water generates thrust and generates electricity, it can flow into the tank and be used as daily water without being wasted.

At the same time as the small power station on the roof of the sixth floor was built, there were also water tanks on the roof of each building and a rebuilt water supply system.

The water supply system is relatively simple. It is repaired within the original water supply and drainage system and connected to the water storage tank on the roof.

As early as mid-June, the water supply systems of several buildings had been rebuilt.

In terms of drainage, used sewage can be directly used to irrigate the plants in the building, or it can flow out through the drainage pipes and directly into the green belts of the community where the plant roots are densely distributed, so that the plants can absorb and treat it. In this way, the daily water needs of a building are effectively met and treated.

Today, with the power supply, all buildings except Building 7 can be occupied! After the ordinary employees and external personnel of Senyu Community move out, Building 7 can practice walking without restraint, instead of only being able to exercise in the evening when the technical department has finished work and is not asleep, so that now it can only take small steps on the spot.

The hustle and bustle of the community attracted a lot of people. Those with special abilities who were more than ten, twenty, or even thirty kilometers away saw the flashing lights and came to the roof to observe with binoculars.

Seeing this, I felt like there was a villain trying to catch me.

The neighborhood, which seemed as clean and bright as before the end of the world, was really enviable...

Although I know that the Butterfly Garden has no intention of recruiting new members, they are also very strong and do not need outsiders to join. But what if? Even if they cannot join, it is good to let them charge outside! Their radios and walkie-talkies have been idle for a long time without power, and now they don’t know whether they are good or not, and they need to be charged urgently!

I wonder if I can talk to the butterfly garden director and ask him to do something for her and recharge her energy.

Of course, charging is secondary. If we can really meet the director of the butterfly garden, show goodwill, and build relationships, maybe we can find other convenient places in the future? With this in mind, many people came to visit Senyu Community the next day.

In order to show their openness and avoid being in trouble - and more importantly, to avoid being accidentally injured by the dandelions floating everywhere five kilometers away - they spread their hands out towards the surroundings from a distance, indicating that they had no hostility, did not hold any tools, and had no intention of using their supernatural powers. Only after seeing that the dandelions reacted calmly did they continue to move forward.

The dandelions five kilometers away are all wild dandelions, and are not connected to the dandelions in the community. Therefore, it takes a while for the flying catkins to float to Fu Erdie for the information to be transmitted, and then Fu Erdie can point out the pinyin for him to know.

The psychics walked very cautiously and slowly. By the time Dandelion finished reporting the news, they had only walked less than 500 meters.

After Fu Erdie saw the scattered psychics around with a telescope on the rooftop, he took out a loudspeaker and prepared to speak.

Seeing this, my aunt Cao Rui stopped me and said, "You are already a well-known boss in this area, don't do it yourself. I will help you convey your message."

After my aunt learned how to use the telegraph, she has been responsible for receiving and notifying messages. Now communicating with people with special abilities and delivering messages is also part of her job.

Fu Erdie said helplessly: "Then please help tell those superpowers coming over to tell Dandelion what they have to say and I will reply."

The electric loudspeaker in the community is not a loudspeaker that is used to shout, but is modified to be like a rural radio.

My aunt Cao Rui was broadcasting in the message room. The radio could convert and amplify voice signals and transmit them very far. With the hearing ability of a psychic, one could vaguely distinguish the content of the broadcast from five kilometers away.

A minute later, the superpowers who heard the broadcast said: "..."

Looking in the direction of Senyu Community, and then at the dandelions next to them that looked beautiful but could actually burrow into their mouths and noses and make them explode at any time, they squatted down tremblingly and said respectfully: "Hello? We would like to ask the director of the butterfly garden if we can go to the community to charge the batteries. We can help the director do what we can."

As he said this, the psychic opened his backpack and displayed the various devices of all sizes and power banks inside.

"It's not much to just charge these..." The psychic said, "No, it's still a bit much. What can I do for the director in exchange for a chance to charge?"

Fu Erdie was a little surprised.

These people didn't come when Building 7 had electricity before, but now the whole community has electricity. They came. Did they really just want to recharge? Or did they just use this as an excuse to do something else? Most of these psychics are level one, a few are level two, and there are no level three. I don't know if they are deliberately showing weakness to let less powerful people come, or if they really haven't obtained that many crystal cores to upgrade. As for the 10 or 20 people coming from several directions, they are just sheep that have entered the plant community and are at the mercy of others. They pose no threat.

It's OK to let them in. But we have to think about how to deal with them appropriately.

Charging is not a big deal, but she doesn't want anyone to come in and visit her community at will.

You could just use a few power strips and extension cords to extend the plugs and charging piles a few dozen meters away, and let them charge outside the community and leave without entering the community.

As for the trade, she had everything she needed now, so there was no need to haggle with them over the limited supplies outside.

In this way, the psychics got the chance, approached the community cautiously, and charged their batteries on the power strip extending out of the community.

The walls of the community are covered with dense vines, and you can't see what's inside from the outside.

The people with special abilities sat in a row, squatting outside waiting for their devices to be charged one by one, and then stared at the gate of the community and the tall buildings in the community.

Not to mention the butterfly garden director, they didn't even see a single person.

If it weren't for the sounds of people working inside, they would have suspected that this community full of plants was simply occupied by mutated plants.

Yin Xuan came from the university town to recharge.

After the largest team of psychics in the university town was wiped out by the Senyu Community last year, less powerful psychics like her and her teammates emerged and struggled to survive in the university town.

They are the typical group of people who hide in secret places and dare not come out, and then come out at night when the zombies have poor eyesight.

One day, Fu Erdie and Sang Wenhao, who were sweeping the zombies, came to the university town. The psychics who had been hiding were finally able to come out and participate in various activities in the university town.

It’s hard to say what others think, but Yin Xuan is very grateful to Fu Erdie in her heart, because with such a powerful person around, they can live a better life.

She came here to recharge today, and she was thinking it would be great to meet Fu Erdie. She would say thank you in person, but it seems there is no chance.

She was holding a bunch of fully charged equipment, put down her fully charged motorcycle, and planned to go to a more remote place on the way back to look for mutant animals to see if she could provide food for her teammates.

Electric motorcycles are electric vehicles that can be ridden like bicycles. It is more labor-saving to use electricity on some steep slopes.

She has a good sense of direction. As long as the general direction is correct, she can go back to the university town from any place, and then find her base camp when she returns to the university town. Usually, if the team wants to take some untraveled roads, Yin Xuan will be included.

This time, Yin Xuan also felt that it was not a big problem.

As a result, after pedaling for two hours and trapping a mutant chicken to death with the earth-related ability, the electric bike suddenly started smoking.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Yin Xuan frowned. She had originally thought that some circuit component in the motorcycle was broken, which would not affect its use as a bicycle. However, when the motorcycle stopped smoking, she sat on it and pedaled, but she could not pedal anymore.

Yin Xuan didn't know what the problem was, and guessed that it might be that the voltage of the charging pile connected to the community did not match that of the motorcycle, which burned out the motor and chain inside.

But this couldn't be blamed on the Butterfly Garden. She didn't know much and inflated the bike without thinking, which resulted in the bike breaking down. Now she could only walk home.

It’s more than 30 kilometers, and it will take a long time to recover my strength after walking back to the university town.

Yin Xuan was carrying a backpack full of things and a 20-pound mutant chicken, planning to abandon the car and go home.

After walking for a while, we heard the sound of bicycle pedaling on the mountain road about one kilometer away, and there seemed to be footsteps chasing from behind.

She subconsciously climbed up a tree in a few seconds and hid in the dense canopy to observe the source of the sound.

Five minutes later, the two bicycles that made the sound turned a bend in the mountain road and appeared in Yin Xuan's sight.

They were two dusty women, with heavy luggage tied to the back seat of the car.

Of course, this is not the point. The point is that these two people are ordinary people, and Yin Xuan did not feel any supernatural fluctuations from them.

Ordinary people, carrying supplies, laboriously riding on a mountain road? So strange, take another look.

As the two men got closer, the footsteps chasing them from behind also got closer.

There were actually hundreds of zombies densely packed together blocking the mountain road.

The zombies now are no longer the slow and limping zombies they were a year ago. They have their own walking rhythm, which is about the same speed as humans walking fast.

Now on this uphill section, they were even faster than the two women riding bicycles with heavy loads on their backs.

Seeing that we were almost caught up, the bike finally reached the top of the long uphill slope and started to go downhill.

They released the brakes and dived down, speeding up, quickly distanced themselves from the zombies again.

Yin Xuan observed and felt that they were lucky. If they could reach the dandelion area in the butterfly garden before the zombies caught up with them, the zombies behind them could be successfully eliminated and the crisis would be resolved.

As she was thinking this, Yin Xuan saw two women at a fork in the road, in a panic, choosing the opposite direction of the butterfly garden.

Yin Xuan: “…”

After thinking about it, she realized that these two ordinary people had no conflict with her and were not a threat to her. Leading hundreds of zombies to the butterfly garden would only serve as snacks for the plants. Maybe she, as the guide, would be remembered by the butterfly garden director.

After a brief thought, Yin Xuan shouted, "You two, turn around! Come in my direction!"

However, the two bicycles were going downhill very fast, and they were unable to stop even after hearing the sound, so they still rushed down the other direction.

Yin Xuan frowned and shifted her gaze to the group of zombies following behind.

Never mind. Her goal was to lead the zombies to the butterfly garden, not to force the two ordinary people to go there. Now that they were heading in another direction, it didn't matter.

Yin Xuan jumped down from the tree canopy and waved and shouted at the zombie group from afar to attract their attention.

The group of zombies ran towards Yin Xuan in the direction of her voice and soon reached the fork in the road where Yin Xuan was.

"They should be safe for now?" Yin Xuan glanced at the direction where the bicycle disappeared, and ran towards the butterfly garden with the zombies.
