Chapter 10 The World of Mold 8
She quickly glanced at her survival points: [Survival Points: 2418]. Her throat felt a little itchy. She had already exchanged 5 points of physique during the day, and now she quickly exchanged 5 [Physique +1] cards and 8 [Speed +1] cards.
The player team ran towards the railing, but Lin Xia didn't have time to pay attention to them anymore. If she didn't run, she would be crushed by the crowd onto the high-voltage grid.
She took out the [Basic Protective Shield Card] and the [Fire Element Card]. She couldn't run any further, and there was no time to think. She activated the shield, hoping it would protect her.
The moment her hand touched the card, she felt a surge of energy, as if she could control it with her mental power.
The situation was urgent. A burst of mental energy swept through, blasting a large hole in the protective netting.
Lin Xia dashed out at incredible speed. Bullets flew towards her, but she dodged them. People nearby were overjoyed and rushed out after her.
She didn't see that after Brother Li used the card, he was completely stunned and couldn't even blow up the protective net.
Upon hearing a loud bang, they saw a large hole appear not far away. Without thinking, the group squeezed towards it.
Sure enough, bullets were fired at them, but they were all blocked by the protective shield. However, screams kept coming from behind her. She dared not turn around or linger. The shield only lasted for 5 minutes, and she needed to get out of there quickly.
Bullets rained down on the protective shield. She glanced at the time; it was 4:02. This place was bound to be the most heavily guarded. She didn't want to be surrounded if she went out, so she quickly changed direction and ran into the grove.
Suddenly, the firepower seemed to shift. Lin Xia glanced back and saw that the mold monster had simply stuck to the protective netting, and the netting was already hissing and oozing black liquid. Clearly, it was only a matter of time before it was corroded.
In front of it, flames continuously extinguished the mold on its body, but it seemed insufficient. Although its size was shrinking, the power of the mold did not diminish. She only needed to glance at it to know that the protective net would be destroyed before it was killed, but it was only a matter of time before it was killed.
Not daring to look any longer, Lin Xia ran into the woods. Fortunately, there was moonlight. Although it was foggy, she ran for a long time, stumbling along until there was no more strange noise. She then stopped, checked the time, and found that more than an hour had passed.
She felt lost, unsure of where she could go. Although H City seemed dangerous, the outside world was clearly not yet in chaos. She was terrified that she would be arrested and forced onto an experimental table as soon as she went out.
At first, I thought the first game wouldn't be too difficult, but I was proven wrong. This mold was clearly an alien species. Although the proportion of humans and animals mutated was very small, its power was enormous.
It's so deadly that there's no way to get close. Who would dare to go up and fight it? They might not even get close before the moldy monster's surrounding mold corrodes their lungs completely.
It's only been four days since the anomaly occurred, and the development has been so rapid. We can only hope that the people of this world can find corrosion-resistant materials; otherwise, all buildings will be a source of danger.
Without thinking further, Lin Xia dared not turn on the light. By the moonlight, she changed all the things she could wear, sprayed disinfectant all over herself, and disinfected her hands again and again.
She then took out water and food from her spatial storage and quickly began to eat and drink. The food was also vacuum-packed and cooked, and she was afraid that if she ate too slowly, she would swallow too much mold.
After finishing my meal, I disinfected myself again and put on a protective suit. There was no one around, so I wasn't worried about being targeted.
She looked at her screen, which currently displayed:
[Real Name: Lin Xia (Not Available)]
Name: Sanqi
[Spirit: 10]
[Constitution: 26]
[Strength: 3]
Speed: 17
Gunshots and shouts came intermittently. Lin Xia was a little puzzled. The newly formed mold monster should not have been able to last so long under the suppression of force, especially flamethrowers.
But she didn't want to investigate further. She exchanged her card for an electric scooter and continued on her way. Wouldn't that help her escape? She was still selfish, she thought as she ran.
No matter what, she has to go back alive, and she has to find her parents.
After riding for about half an hour, a wall of iron appeared ahead. Lin Xia quickly hid behind a tree and observed, but there was no movement at all, just complete silence...
Waiting like this wasn't going to work, so Lin Xia exchanged for a [Basic Protection Shield Card], chose to use it, abandoned the electric scooter, and quickly ran towards the iron wall. Surprisingly, she approached it smoothly without being shot.
Puzzled, she ran a long distance along the iron wall, but her mental perception revealed no one on the other side. After thinking for a moment, she returned to the road, intending to break down a door to get out.
Take out the [Fire Element Ability Card], 30 points of its energy have been used.
As they walked further away, a huge fireball slammed into the iron wall, creating a large hole in it with a deafening roar.
Having gained experience the first time, Lin Xia clearly felt this time that 30 units of energy was the maximum value that her current mental strength could utilize.
This time, when she used her mental power, she felt a little dizzy and nauseous, and immediately exchanged for two [Attribute Cards: Mental Power +1].
With her mental strength increased to 12, the symptoms instantly subsided. Sensing someone approaching from behind, Lin Xia hurriedly picked up her electric scooter and left.
She rushed a long way, but there wasn't a soul in sight. This made her regretful about the shield she had used—100 survival points!
Thinking of the mold monster that kills instantly upon contact, she felt that everything was necessary. She just wanted to get as far away from H City as possible, and while things were still peaceful outside, she wanted to go as far as she could.
With a sudden stop, Lin Xia looked in shock at the giant in Y City in the distance. It was so big that it could be seen from this distance, but looking at it from this distance was like looking at a silent image, which was terrifying.
No wonder Y City is more terrifying than H City! If she fixes the hole now, is it too late to return to H City...?
She took out her phone, checked it, and still had no signal. Suddenly, she remembered that she had a radio in her online space, so she quickly took it out, fiddled with it for a while, and finally heard the message.
"Residents of H City, Y City, S City, L City, and K City, please note: We will be dropping thermobaric bombs on the above cities at 5:00 AM on April 20th. Two bombs will be dropped on H City. Please stay at least two kilometers away from the mold monster to ensure your personal safety. The above content will be played on a loop."
"Residents of H City, Y City, S City, L City, and K City, please note: We will be dropping thermobaric bombs on the above cities at 5:00 AM on April 20th. Two bombs will be dropped on H City. Please stay at least five kilometers away from the mold monster to ensure your personal safety. The above information will be played on a loop."
......
April 20th? Lin Xia realized, isn't that today?! She abruptly raised her hand to look at her watch, 5:00, and only had time to collapse to the ground.
"boom--"
A huge explosion rang out, and a massive mushroom cloud rose in the distance. A tremendous tremor shook the area behind him, and a wave of heat surged from behind. Fortunately, he was far away, or he would have been vaporized... Lin Xia's heart pounded as he watched the shield's timer display, which showed only 30 seconds remaining.
I thought about it again, and realized that these 100 survival points are at least somewhat useful...
