Chapter 4 The World of Mold 2
Chapter Four: Superpowers
She checked the time; it was 12:30 PM. She was hungry, and between ordering food and cooking, she chose to cook. Who knows what disaster might strike? What if it's a virus or something? Sealed food is always safer.
I took out my portable gas stove, cooked a pot of instant noodles, added an egg, ham, and vegetables. After eating, I thought about it for a moment, took out my phone, and ordered takeout from the supermarket.
I bought a case of water, several boxes of instant noodles, dry noodles, and vermicelli, five apples, five bananas, five pears, and five oranges—fruits that keep well—as well as a little of other fruits, some snacks, and a few bottles of drinks. The supermarket is located in the resort, and the delivery was very fast.
By putting these things out in the open, I can avoid others thinking I'm weird.
Unfortunately, the space isn't static, so it can't preserve food. If it could, I could cook and store meals inside, saving me the trouble of cooking when I'm trying to escape.
I'm afraid I'll only be able to eat compressed biscuits later, which would be a waste of all the food I've stored up. I wonder if I can bring it back to reality.
With money in hand, she bought more food; otherwise, she felt unsafe in this unfamiliar world, a world on the verge of disaster.
Looking at the rain outside, Lin Xia felt a little anxious, but after checking the ground for a while and finding no water accumulation, she felt much more at ease.
After eating and drinking her fill, Lin Xia slumped into the sofa by the window and slowly exhaled. The rain outside was neither too heavy nor too light, and there were even fewer pedestrians than usual.
Lin Xia drew the curtains shut, summoned the game panel, and looked at what it said:
[Real Name: Lin Xia (Not Available)]
Name: Sanqi
[Spirit: 9]
[Constitution: 6]
[Strength: 3]
[Speed: 5]
[Possesses talent: SSS-level [What you see is what you get]]
Survival Points: 194
Experience points: 50%
Only three hours had passed. Lin Xia looked at his survival points and knew he could exchange them for two attribute cards in a few more minutes.
Looking at her own attributes, Lin Xia pondered for a while and then exchanged for a Spirit attribute card.
She's a bit of a perfectionist; when she sees a 9, she wants to change it to a 10, and she has time to try and fail.
use!
She felt a cool sensation in her mind, and her fatigue vanished instantly. She felt full of energy, and with just a little thought, forgotten memories could be vividly recalled.
She could even recall her memories of being born, everything she had experienced, in detail, whenever she wanted. But as she thought too much, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her head.
Lin Xia hugged her head and curled up, large beads of sweat dripping down her face. Remembering the countless novels she had read, she immediately exchanged for another constitution attribute card and used it.
His physical condition improved from 6 to 7, and the excruciating pain in his head gradually subsided.
Lying on the sofa for a while, Lin Xia concluded that mental strength indeed depends on the body. If one's physical constitution is too low and one's mental strength is too high, the body simply cannot bear it.
Her gaze shifted to speed and strength, which seemed likely to be based on physical constitution as well.
If the speed is too fast and the body cannot keep up, it will definitely cause damage to the body.
Those with insufficient physical constitution cannot exert great strength.
Lin Xia took out the [Mental Ability Awakening Card], hesitated for a while, and decided to wait and increase her physique to 10 before using it.
Having a higher physical constitution in the apocalypse is definitely not a bad thing!
Lin Xia pulled back the curtains a little and looked outside. Her brows furrowed. She decided to look for information online instead.
Lin Xia opened Weibo and found a hashtag #SurvivalGames#. She clicked on it and saw that it was indeed set up by players.
"Scan the QR code to join the WeChat group, where we can help each other."
Lin Xia immediately scanned and added it.
[Looking back, it all seems like a dream: Does anyone know what kind of apocalypse this is? Has anyone gathered any useful information?]
[Rain passing through the west window: Temperature is normal, neither too high nor too low.]
[Naive to the ways of the world: Yes, there haven't been any reports of a virus.]
[Hard work paves the way for the future: 2000 yuan is simply not enough, where are you all living?]
[Unnecessary sentimentality: I've moved to a resort.]
[Dream Sea: Holy crap, it's super expensive there, where did you get the money?]
[Excessive Warmth: They just robbed it and ran. It's almost the end of the world anyway.]
[I'm a Little Red Flower: I heard there was a meteor shower in H City recently, could there be something wrong with that?]
......
Seeing that there was no useful information, Lin Xia became a little irritated. She turned on the TV to watch the news, but feeling sticky all over, she turned up the volume and decided to take a shower first.
As she passed the dining table, she paused, turned around abruptly, and rummaged through her shopping bag. She had just checked the fruit; it was all very fresh, but now the blueberries were covered in white fuzz.
Looking at the other fruits, they also had some spots. Lin Xia recalled the conversation with the sales assistant in the supermarket and felt a chill. If the food was rotting faster, then food would soon be scarce.
No, it's not just about scarcity; everything will spoil very quickly. Perhaps only vacuum-packed items can be stored. Once they spoil, bacteria and mold will multiply rapidly, causing significant harm to the human body.
Lin Xia disregarded everything else, quickly slung her backpack over her shoulder, put on a mask, and ran out. By this time, many people had also noticed the problem, especially in the supermarket, where fresh ingredients were rotting. The easygoing people just found it strange, while the more perceptive ones quickly stockpiled food.
The food in Lin Xia's space wouldn't rot. She grabbed a shared bicycle on the way, quickly ran into a pharmacy, and went to two hotels before she managed to gather twenty sets of protective suits and gas masks.
I bought a big bag of masks, three large bags of gloves, ten large barrels each of alcohol and disinfectant, a bottle of each type of vitamin, and a bottle of multivitamins.
The thought of the air being filled with mold made Lin Xia feel suffocated, so she bought 20 10-liter oxygen cylinders and 10 portable oxygen canisters that could last for 6 hours.
She had it delivered directly to her hotel room, then ran into the supermarket, pushed a cart, and bought a large amount of vacuum-packed ham, braised eggs, roast chicken, braised food, beef, dried fruit, dried mushrooms, and two bags of vacuum-packed rice, which she then had delivered to the hotel.
Once inside the mall, I bought ten sets of clothes, ten pairs of socks, and ten pairs of shoes, and had them delivered.
Having learned what the disaster was and having stockpiled supplies, Lin Xia was no longer in such a hurry. She took out her phone and sent a message in the group chat.
[Sanqi: This disaster is very likely related to mold!]
[Excessive Warmth: Oh my god, it's true! The fruit I just bought at the supermarket all has spots on it. It was absolutely fresh when I bought it. Anyway, I'm going to stock up now.]
[West Window Through the Rain: Post a photo.]
Lin Xia posted photos of fruit.
[Naive to the ways of the world: What should I stock up on...?]
Soon, the group chat quieted down; everyone was probably busy buying things.
I checked Weibo and Xiaohongshu, and many people there have noticed this problem. Some even have vacuum sealers at home and have vacuum-sealed their food.
Someone posted a video of mold, which caused a stir online, with many people even suspecting that the video was sped up.
When Lin Xia saw that this situation only occurred in H City, her heart sank. She immediately opened the ticketing app and found that all trains, planes, and buses to and from H City were suspended.
Online reports have confirmed that all highways in H City have been closed.
People who make videos for entertainment online are also panicking. Supermarkets, pharmacies, and grocery stores are packed with people. According to online news, vacuum sealers are sold out. People who can't buy vacuum food are buying them to vacuum seal themselves.
The sirens of ambulances blared intermittently, as people's wounds had become festering and were difficult to heal.
