Chapter 14 The World of Mold 12
Chapter Fourteen
With this special mask, Lin Xia wasn't worried about her health for the time being. She looked at her attribute points:
[Spirit: 16]
[Physical Fitness: 40]
[Strength: 3]
Speed: 20
Survival Point: 1244
My physical strength and speed are currently sufficient, but my mental power is what I will rely on for future missions, so I must master and improve it as soon as possible.
She exchanged for 4 [Attribute Cards: Mental Strength +1], adding 3 points to her mental strength. She would first train her mental strength. She didn't know what other uses mental strength had, but once she trained it to the point where she could control it like an extension of her own arm, she would definitely be able to quickly master its use after discovering new applications in the future.
Her current perception range is 5 meters, which greatly increases her sense of security.
She stopped when she started to get a headache, used the last attribute card, and then went to sleep.
Awakened by the sound of a helicopter, Lin Xia looked at the helicopter in the sky with some surprise. The helicopter was spraying medicine in the air, waking everyone up. Watching the helicopter spraying medicine back and forth, people were very excited.
Backup successful: Backup of modified helicopter *1, requires 1 survival point.
On the sixth day, there were still five days left. Lin Xia felt a little dazed. Only five days had passed, but it truly felt like an eternity. She just hoped that nothing fatal would happen next.
A group of people reached the outer perimeter. Lin Xia carried her backpack in front of her and moved within 5 meters of the crowd. Unfortunately, she didn't have any backup props this time.
As soon as Lin Xia reached the outer perimeter, she heard another burst of screams. Before she could react, she heard exclamations, and the crowd quieted down.
She ran closer and saw that everyone was looking at the man in the middle, next to him was a pool of black ash.
Suddenly, the crowd erupted in chaos.
"That was superpower! My God, that really was superpower!"
"How do you have superpowers?"
"That fire is a superpower?"
......
Lin Xia saw it clearly: the man was initially confused, then his face lit up with ecstasy.
Soon, people from the safe zone arrived and offered to take him inside. He happily led his family inside.
As she passed Lin Xia, she scanned him with her eyes. He had no backups, and he had family. This person was likely an NPC. Judging from the unsurprised expressions of the people in the safe zone, it seemed they already knew.
Once again, she began to doubt the reality of this world.
"System, is this a real world?"
"Please explore on your own."
At the entrance to the safe zone, many people looked on curiously and asked about the superpowers. As the commotion grew, someone from inside came out to explain the situation.
It turns out that some soldiers had developed superpowers as early as the day of the mutation, but the proportion was extremely small. So far, only nine people have developed superpowers, three of whom have fire-type superpowers.
Fire-based abilities can kill mold, but their current level is too low, so they are powerless to deal with large mold monsters if they appear.
Therefore, they are recruiting people with superpowers, especially those with fire, water, and wood-based abilities, hoping that everyone can overcome the difficulties together. They promise to treat people with superpowers and their families well.
After hearing their announcement, Lin Xia, who was already on the edge, prepared to leave. Suddenly, someone behind her stood up and faced her. Seeing the moldy hair about to pounce on her, she threw a fireball at it.
This was just the beginning. Terrified screams echoed from the crowd. Suddenly, many mold monsters stood up from the crowd. Because there were so many people, they could bite anyone they wanted, and their bodies swelled up rapidly.
The crowd surged toward the safe zone, and many people hid behind Lin Xia. She looked at the flow of people, her expression changed, and she quickly ran toward the safe zone. Because she was fast, those people didn't have time to react before she ran in.
Upon reaching the city wall at the entrance, Lin Xia looked at the dozen or so mold monsters and suddenly realized that the presence of superhumans here indicated that mold could corrode the human body. Where there are superhumans, there must also be losers—the mold monsters.
Without hesitation, she unleashed a surge of spiritual power, sending flames flying to annihilate the nearby mold monsters. Once the survivors had fled, the mold monsters pounced towards the safe zone.
Mold started raining down from the sky again, falling in a steady stream. Now that she had a mask, she wasn't afraid of the mold corroding her respiratory tract, so she was a little bolder.
Three people in protective suits ran out from the safe zone behind her. They were all astonished when they saw Lin Xia's flames, and then quickly launched their own fireballs.
The helicopter flew up directly and began dropping inhibitors.
Lin Xia didn't want to show off too much, but unfortunately the three people's fireballs were really too small. They were fine for dealing with newly formed mold monsters, but they were not very effective against these larger mold monsters.
Because of the [Fire Element Card], she could control the amount of fire-type abilities she possessed. A fire dragon flew out and destroyed the last and largest mold monster.
Before the people behind her could get close, she jumped off the city wall and quickly left the safe zone. Thanks to her improved physical condition, she was not injured.
She was afraid of being used as a guinea pig in the safe zone. Although she sympathized with them, studying her would be useless. She didn't have fire-based abilities, and her abilities weren't from the mold. If they asked her how to upgrade, they would be clueless.
She has limited personal abilities; even if she enters the safe zone, she might not be able to get out. To be on the safe side, it's best to avoid contact.
Lin Xia didn't stop until she reached a deserted place.
She changed her clothes and backpack, and put on a protective suit. Fortunately, the mask was a common style, worn under her hat, which covered her face.
Then he reappeared in front of everyone, and upon closer inspection, everyone except his companions was far apart, and even his companions were no longer close together.
Hearing the safe zone playing messages about searching for her on a loop, Lin Xia remained unmoved and rested against a low hillside far from the crowd.
This world already has superhumans and thermobaric weapons, so it can be said that we have seen the dawn of victory over the mold; it's just a matter of who can defeat it faster.
I will eventually leave, and there's really nothing I can teach them. I don't even know how to train my own mental strength.
Lin Xia exchanged for five [Attribute Cards: Mental Strength +1]. She used four of them first, then practiced her mental strength. Finally, when she had a splitting headache, she used the last one.
It's dark now, and today has passed relatively peacefully.
Lin Xia looked at her survival points: [Survival Points: 3644]. She didn't plan to use up all of her mental energy. She wanted to save some to trade for items she hadn't backed up. It was much better than running around aimlessly like this.
I exchanged for a new mask and put it on.
[Spirit: 25]
[Physical Fitness: 40]
[Strength: 3]
Speed: 20
I won't practice mental power tonight. I practiced for too long during the day and need to rest now.
The lights patrolled the area all night. Lin Xia had used up all her [Fire Element Cards] for the day, but she exchanged for two more. One card used 40 energy points, and the other was at full capacity.
