Chapter 6 The World of Mold 4
Lin Xia peered at the screen for a while, feeling a little panicked. She felt unsafe staying here and wondered if she should run away. She took out a bottle of water, gulped it down, and quickly put it back in her spatial storage.
They took out the disinfectant and started spraying it again, spraying the entire living room before they were done.
I checked my survival points; I have 432 now. Considering I might need to run around on foot in the apocalypse, I swapped one speed card and three constitution cards. I used them immediately, increasing my constitution to 13 and my speed to 6.
Clenching my fist, I thought, as long as I avoid the collapsing buildings, and as long as I'm physically strong and healthy enough, I can survive for ten days and go back!
Lin Xia quickly cooked instant noodles, then put everything into her spatial storage, taking two blankets from the top cabinet and stuffing them into her space.
I looked at the map, checked the directions, took out my backpack, put in a bottle of water, a pack of instant noodles, two bags of snacks, put on an N95 mask and gloves, and went out.
She needs to go to a spacious, sparsely populated place; she absolutely cannot stay inside buildings, and it would be even better if she could leave H City altogether.
Stepping outside, it was dark and a bit chilly. She quickly left the resort, and as she came out, she saw a man also coming out; he must be the one who drew the attribute card.
Without saying much, she went outside, grabbed a shared bicycle, and rushed out in the right direction.
Once outside, I discovered that there were a lot of people outside, most of whom were driving out of the city and were stuck in traffic. There were also many cars on the overpass.
Lin Xia felt a pang of heartache watching this. After thinking for a moment, she stopped by the roadside, took out her phone, and posted a message on Weibo.
Sanqi: "Mold can corrode buildings, so everyone should try to avoid staying indoors and on overpasses, and move to open spaces as much as possible!"
She even bought a push notification so that people wouldn't see it.
The people below replied very quickly.
"There will always be people like you who spread alarmist rumors!"
Why do you say that? What's your basis for saying it?
"You want us to go out and steal our food, don't you? You bastard, I've seen plenty of people like you!"
"Don't listen to this person, she's definitely a walking 500,000."
"What good does it do you to spread such alarmist rumors? You're such a bad person!"
......
After glancing at the few comments that appeared in an instant, Lin Xia remained calm, put her phone away, and continued on her way.
We'll save as many as we can; there's nothing we can do about those who don't believe.
Lin Xia saw that there were other young people like her, carrying backpacks and riding bicycles or electric bikes, and some families were even driving tricycles.
Passing by several 4S stores, Lin Xia even went over to scan them once. She also happened to see a motorhome exhibition with all kinds of motorhomes. Lin Xia quickly rode her bike around.
Once outside the city, the roads narrowed, and there were even more cars stuck in traffic. It seemed everyone was thinking of taking the back roads out of the city, but unfortunately, too many people had the same idea, and the cars were barely moving.
"You guys move! My child's wound has become infected with sepsis, we need treatment!!" A hysterical female voice came from the open window of a car, along with a foul stench.
"We want to move too! Look how many cars are in front of us!" The passersby were also getting impatient.
Two hours have passed and we still haven't finished walking this road. Everyone is getting impatient and could explode at the slightest provocation.
......
Suddenly, a commotion broke out ahead. A scream rang out, followed by a chorus of screams and cries, the sounds growing louder as they approached. People looked at each other, unsure how to react.
"Let me on the bus, let me on the bus! Ah—"
"Monster, monster!!!"
"They eat people!! Let me into the car!" The sound of banging on the car was accompanied by the sound of cars crashing.
People became frightened, many started backing away, and some even started pulling on the car doors next to them.
The woman quickly closed the car window the moment she heard the sound.
Seeing the chaos around her, Lin Xia's heart skipped a beat. What kind of monster was that? Her senses were sending her a dangerous signal.
From afar, she saw two moldy monsters rampaging through the convoy, biting anyone they saw. They looked like dogs, but their bodies were covered in long fur, making it difficult to see clearly. With each movement, mold continued to fall, swirling everywhere.
When the mold touches a person, it seems to come alive and wrap around them, causing the wound to quickly turn black and ooze pus.
Lin Xia snapped out of her shock and, without further hesitation, abandoned the car and ran wildly towards the village by the roadside.
The road was packed with cars. It was only a two-lane road, but now it was in complete chaos. Pedestrians were either screaming and running for their lives or lying on the ground crying and trembling. Her ears were filled with screams, cries for help, and curses, but not a single car opened its door.
As the lights in the village gradually came on, no one dared to open their doors, and many people climbed over the walls to look out.
Lin Xia suppressed her fear and ran wildly through the village, but as screams echoed through the village, one of those moldy monsters appeared in front of her.
Fortunately, the village had a network of roads, so she quickly changed direction and continued running. This kind of thing really shouldn't be touched; if she got injured, there would be no hope.
She was panting heavily, and the mask she was wearing made it even harder to breathe, but she didn't dare take it off, because the air was filled with mold from that mold monster.
While running, Lin Xia quickly exchanged for an acceleration attribute card and used it, increasing her speed from 6 to 7. She became faster again and overtook the people in front of her.
She dared not look any longer, and dared not wipe away her tears. How could a person outrun a dog? Screams came from behind her from time to time. Although she didn't want to admit it, at this moment, only the fastest runners had a chance to escape.
They finally broke out of the village, thankfully... thankfully there were only two.
Ahead lay flat fields, but the road was even more difficult to travel on, and the people in the cars on the side of the road looked out in fear.
They dared not come out, and had nowhere to go, so they could only stay where they were. Some of the bolder ones had already gotten off the bus and run ahead.
Lin Xia didn't dare to look back and quickly continued running. The screams were left behind. She didn't dare to stop and kept running forward. There weren't many people behind her. Everyone was gritting their teeth and persevering. No one in front dared to fall behind.
Lin Xia slowed her pace only when the floating mold in the air disappeared and there was no sign of the monster in the empty space behind her.
She threw away her gloves, put on a new pair, and quickly changed her mask before she felt much better.
The people behind her were speaking incoherently, but they seemed to want her mask and gloves. Lin Xia looked behind her and saw more than a dozen people. Not daring to show off her wealth, she pretended not to understand and quickly turned around and ran away.
Looking at the offline map, I realized that the border of H City was not far ahead.
Lin Xia continued forward, and after walking for about an hour, she finally saw the iron wall and fence in front of her, with rows of armed soldiers in protective suits behind them.
The wire mesh was extremely high, and disinfectant was being sprayed continuously at the very top.
Lin Xia walked a little closer and saw that in addition to guns, they also had flamethrowers hanging from their hands.

......
Lin Xia was surprised by the sheer number of things. There were even backups of things she hadn't seen before. She then realized that mental power had another advantage: what mental power could perceive was also what it could see!
