Chapter 5 The World of Mold 3
Many people appeared on the streets, spraying disinfectant everywhere. At the same time, Lin Xia and others' phones vibrated. She opened the messages; they were from the H Municipal Government:
Fellow citizens, an unknown mold has swept through the entire city of H, causing our food to spoil faster and our wounds to heal more slowly. Please do not run around or fight for supplies, as this could lead to injury.
We will allocate resources reasonably to ensure that every household has enough supplies!
Please rest assured, we have already started spraying disinfectant, and experts from various regions are working diligently to develop disinfectants to inhibit this mold. Let us unite as one, overcome this difficult time, and get through this crisis together!
Please believe that we will surely overcome this disaster!
Official statements have been made through various channels, and the public has mostly calmed down, but they are still buying supplies, especially those with vacuum compressors. Many people are also rushing to buy freezers to store supplies.
Cities outside of H City are also working hard, and donated supplies from various places are on their way. The online atmosphere is generally positive.
Lin Xia breathed a sigh of relief. There was a lot of good news. The first game shouldn't be too difficult, right?
There were many people in the WeChat group. Some were showing off the supplies they had looted, some were panicking and afraid of getting hurt, and some were calling on players to unite and get through this apocalyptic game together.
Lin Xia thought about it and didn't reply to the message. For her, it was safer to be alone. After all, she had her own space and was afraid of being targeted and taken advantage of.
Wearing gloves and three masks, Lin Xia sealed all the moldy items in the living room with plastic bags and threw them into a trash can further away.
Then I threw away the gloves and the outer mask, went back indoors and started disinfecting, spraying disinfectant everywhere. Although the smell was a bit pungent, it was safe.
I disinfected, washed my hands, changed my clothes, looked at information online, and also fully charged all three power banks.
Thinking about how much she disliked herself and even the air at the very beginning, Lin Xia frowned deeply, extremely distressed. How was she going to eat and drink anything later?
When she had accumulated 300 survival points, she checked her attributes:
[Real Name: Lin Xia (Not Available)]
Name: Sanqi
[Spirit: 10]
[Constitution: 7]
[Strength: 3]
[Speed: 5]
[Possesses talent: SSS-level [What you see is what you get]]
Survival Points: 301
Experience points: 53%
Without hesitation, he exchanged for 3 Constitution attribute cards, and after using them all, his Constitution became 10.
Lin Xia clenched her fist, feeling that her resistance to mold had increased!
Taking out the psychic ability awakening card, Lin Xia took a deep breath and chose to use it. In her expectant gaze, the card transformed into a stream of light and entered her body.
Lin Xia couldn't quite describe the feeling, but she felt a sense of complete understanding of herself, not only herself but also the people around her.
I can perceive even the slightest changes within a 2-meter radius around me. It's a very strange feeling; I can sense things without actually seeing them.
There are other changes, which she cannot accurately discern at the moment; she can only wait and gradually discover those abilities in the future.
After adapting to the changes in herself for a while, Lin Xia couldn't help but feel happy. However, when she saw her surroundings, her joy subsided slightly, but the fact that her abilities had improved was always a good thing.
It was already dark when Lin Xia took out a bowl of noodles, quickly prepared them, and added two braised eggs and a sausage. Her appetite had increased, but luckily she had stocked up on enough food.
Outside, people were still disinfecting while wearing masks, which reassured her somewhat. She saw messages in the group asking for help to form teams or for food. She glanced at them, put her phone away, charged it, and took a hot shower before the disaster became too severe. She went to sleep, still wearing a mask even while sleeping.
The first day went relatively smoothly.
......
"Is it snowing?" Lin Xia looked at the sky in confusion. When she saw that what was falling were clusters of mold, she was shocked.
She hurriedly looked into the distance, where the entire land was a gray-black color, without a trace of light. The soil was covered with mold, and most of the plants had withered.
Suddenly, the steel pillars under the overpass in the distance crumbled like tofu, and the cars on them fell off, with cries and pleas for help filling the air.
High-rise buildings also collapsed, burying countless people underneath, and people nearby fled in panic.
A wave of immense panic and despair washed over Lin Xia, engulfing her completely...
......
In the darkness, Lin Xia suddenly opened her eyes, sat up, and gasped for breath. She tried to comfort herself that it was just a dream, but the dream she had last time made her afraid to take it lightly.
If this mold is truly so powerful that it can corrode steel, then food and other infrastructure would be even less of a threat. Food, water, electricity, fiber optic cables, and power cables would likely also be subject to corrosion.
They would then be cut off from food, water, electricity, and internet. And if things really did develop as in the dream, it would be because no one had ever developed a drug to suppress this mold. Lin Xia strongly suspected that the world would be doomed.
Shaking her head, Lin Xia realized she was overthinking things. The most important thing now was how people outside would treat H City if they discovered that they couldn't eliminate the mold.
Thinking about this, she couldn't sleep. She checked her phone; it was a little past 4 a.m. She had gone to bed around 9 p.m. last night, which was about enough time.
Turning on the light startled Lin Xia again; the whole room had a hazy, gray feel to it. Although no mold had grown, she still felt very uneasy.
First, check the situation online on your phone.
"Look, this mold is afraid of fire; burning it will kill it!"
"It won't work at all. I burned these before going to bed last night. Look, they've grown back. They didn't die at all!"
"What about flooding?"
"I won't drown, but the water is too muddy to drink!"
"Won't alcohol or disinfectant work?"
"The effect is not very good. Although it can get rid of the hairy areas, it grows back in a short time."
"Oh my god, that's terrible! Is your food okay?"
"Except for the packaged food, all the food in my house has grown mold and is inedible."
"Won't this spread to our city? No way!!!"
......
Lin Xia felt a chill run down her spine and opened the WeChat group again.
[Typical goofball: Guys, look what I see!]
A short video was sent out. Lin Xia clicked on it and saw that many people in protective suits were carrying many dead bodies into the funeral home. Although the video was short, it was clear that there were many dead people.
[Unnecessary Emotion: What's going on? Why are there so many dead people?]
[Typical idiot: I was afraid of the dangers in the city, so I moved to this village. This photo was taken by someone from the village. I heard that the ambulance belonged to the city hospital, and they handled the situation quietly late at night.]
[A cool, aloof aura is shining through: Is this mold particularly harmful to humans? Oh my god, have you guys managed to buy gas masks and protective suits? Could you spare a few sets for me? I couldn't get any!!]
[Excessive Warmth: What are you thinking? Everyone needs these things. I only bought five sets in total, and that's not even enough for myself.]
[Chatty: @TypicalSillyBrother, how's the situation where you are? Is it better than in the city?]
[Typical idiot: It's alright to stay here, at least there aren't many people.]
