Chapter 15 The World of Mold 13
Chapter Fifteen
On the seventh day, she added 5 points to her mental strength and eliminated many mutated fungal monsters that night. She felt that this place was relatively safe and wanted to survive the last few days here.
This is still a safe zone, which buys some time for the researchers inside.
On the morning of the eighth day, she was awakened by cries. She thought it was a mold monster, but when she ran over, she found that it was a robbery. People's food and water had long been exhausted. The safe zone would occasionally come out to distribute some food and water, but the amount was not enough for one person.
Because of the safety zone, people were relatively restrained, but the scarcity of water was intolerable.
Lin Xia didn't move. The safe zone didn't have time to deal with these disputes. She would only throw a stone as a warning if she saw someone bullying a girl.
Her mental strength has greatly increased, and she can throw things with perfect accuracy. She has decided that if she could get a set of darts, her combat power would definitely increase significantly.
But the whole night was filled with chaos; people were fighting over food and water, and the cries and screams kept Lin Xia awake.
Seeing people with guns emerge from the safe zone, she rubbed her forehead and decided to retreat further away.
It was pitch black, and even Lin Xia needed to be very careful. Although her strength had greatly increased, she had no night vision. Suddenly, she sniffed, and a bloody smell wafted over, making her wrinkle her brow uncomfortably. It was fresh blood, along with a pungent, rancid smell of roasted meat...
Her heart skipped a beat. After thinking for a moment, she followed the smell. She hadn't gone far when she saw a patch of fire. Two men were gathered around a person hanging from a tree, gulping down something, a thick red liquid dripping from their lips and onto their clothes...
A man held a stick in his hand, on which a piece of meat was roasting over a fire, sizzling and dripping oil... The man's eyes were greedy, and his mouth and body were covered in blood. In the firelight, his face was ferocious.
Lin Xia couldn't help but gag. The three men looked over, their eyes lighting up as they scanned her with lustful, greedy eyes. She felt uncomfortable all over, a sticky feeling clinging to her body, making her nauseous.
It's only been eight days, but the evil in human nature never disappoints. Lin Xia took out her Swiss Army knife and swiftly sliced it across the necks of the three people. She lowered the people from the tree, removed the dirty rags from their mouths, and found them dead.
The three men lay on the ground, making hoarse sounds, and glared at Lin Xia with resentment.
Lin Xia took out a tissue and wiped the knife clean. Looking at their eyes, she noticed that their gazes were much better than before and no longer made her feel disgusted.
After walking a little further, Lin Xia sat on the man-made stone steps, silently looking down the mountain. A voice came from afar and grew closer. She frowned. What was going on tonight?
"Big brother, we're out of food now, should we ask her to lead us into the safe zone?"
"But without her, we won't have any water to drink."
"There must be everything in the safe zone. If there's only water but no food, we'll starve to death sooner or later."
"But what if she disagrees, or what if she goes there and says she won't take us in...?"
"So, let's beg her. She's so soft-hearted, let's kneel down and beg her."
"Wouldn't that be a bad idea..."
"We're all starving, big brother. Xiao Juan is so hungry she keeps sucking her fingers."
......
Ability users? Lin Xia was intrigued, but why was it water-based again? After the two finished talking, she heard the sound of water dripping again and saw them walking back. She bypassed the place where they had been and followed them.
The firelight soon appeared before them, and seven or eight people were gathered around the fire. Lin Xia approached and swept them over with his spiritual power.
[Backup successful: Backup is me, a lucky star *1, requires 100 survival points]
[I am a lucky star: having me means having luck. Time: 10 minutes.]
Backup successful: Backup: Basic Protection Shield *1, Survival Points required: 10000
[Primary Protective Shield: 15m*15m all-around protection for your building (not portable, cannot be moved after installation, adaptable to building shape)]
Lin Xia's eyes lit up. These were all good things! She immediately looked at her talent experience [Experience Value: 43%].
She then looked at the girl, who was leaning against a tree. She looked thin and small, and her face was turned to her side. Her face was dirty, but she could still tell that she was very cute.
Lin Xia climbed up a tree not far away and backed up such a good item. She would keep an eye on it so that the lucky player wouldn't die.
On the ninth day, Lin Xia was awakened by the sound of an explosion. Looking at the mushroom cloud in the sky, she sighed. The bombing without any warning—how many people must have died?
In the past few days, apart from exchanging for masks, she has stopped exchanging for attribute cards. This amount of spiritual energy is enough for her to use; any more, and she fears she won't be able to control it.
The group of people not far away had also gotten up, and just as they had said, they were crying and begging the girl. The girl was very pure and lovely, and looked to be in her early twenties.
At this moment, her eyes were filled with shock and anger, but her face showed a look of helplessness.
"But I'm afraid of being dissected in the lab..."
"Definitely not. Water resources are so precious these days, how could they bear to waste them?"
"Yes, they all said they would definitely treat people with superpowers well. Sister, please, look at Juanzi, she's only 6 years old."
"Sister Ji, I'm hungry..."
The girl looked at the people kneeling on the ground, her eyes calm but her face showing great struggle: "Everyone is starving... Fine, then I'll risk it and try. I can't let everyone starve to death."
Lin Xia glanced at her a couple more times, but didn't pay her any attention. There were only two days left. Even if she went in, it wouldn't be enough to kill her in just two days.
On the morning of the tenth day, Lin Xia watched as more and more people gathered. Instead of making a backup, she retreated further away. It was the last day, and she just hoped to get through it safely.
She noticed that many others, like her, had retreated to a distance, and they all looked at each other without saying a word.
Lin Xia smiled. The people arrived just like that. She first stepped back a little, and then quickly passed by them.
Backup successful: Backup of Disguise Card *1, requires 100 Survival Points
[Disguise Card: Changes appearance for 3 hours, 3 uses remaining]
Backup successful: Backup space ring *1 (1 cubic meter), survival points required: 100
[Spatial Ring: Can store items, excluding living beings, one cubic meter in size.]
[Backup successful: 1 Wood-type Awakening Card backed up, requires 1000 Survival Points]
The final Wood-type Awakening Card surprised and enlightened Lin Xia. She seemed to have guessed correctly: each Awakening Card had conditions for awakening, and not everyone could awaken it. She just didn't know what those conditions were.
Hearing the booming explosions, even if the disaster was over, this land would be riddled with holes. Lin Xia sighed, thinking of the ocean in her world where she could survive. She wondered if the land in her world had been submerged.
She looked at the things in her space, wondering if she could take them back. She didn't have much food, and thinking about going back, Lin Xia looked at her clothes. She wouldn't feel at ease if she went back.
Leave here quickly, run to a flat area some distance away, and park a motorhome.
She went upstairs and took a good shower, put on two sets of underwear, changed into a clean set of thermal underwear, put on two sets of windbreakers, new socks, new shoes, put on a protective suit, and ate her fill.
