Chapter 14: Water Gathering Spell
Although food is rarely found in newly reclaimed lands, it is not completely impossible to find.
Although five years have passed since the end of the world, the survivors have entered the wasteland world.
But before the end of the world, people lived in a world with abundant resources and highly advanced technology.
There are always some foods that are well packaged and preserved to this day.
The survivors who went to the newly reclaimed land could more or less find some food.
Only the three sick and disabled people from the Shi family brought back a lot of junk.
It would be unjust if these three people didn't starve to death.
Everyone in the team was preparing, waiting for Shi Ersao to come to their tent and ask them for food.
It's so easy to control a helpless woman in the wasteland.
But after the three women of the Shi family returned to the tarpaulin, they showed no intention of going out to beg for food.
Shi Ersao fumbled and took out the bottles and jars they had picked up from a dirty big plastic bag.
Shi Yuebai touched Shi Yaoyao's head.
"Take out and count all the pebbles you have found."
Shi Yaoyao immediately took out some small stones of similar size from her pocket.
"One, two, three, four, five..."
What comes after five? Shi Yaoyao can’t change it.
Shi Yuebai patiently taught her, "Six."
Shi Yaoyao studied very seriously, nodded her big head, and said loudly in a long voice,
"six."
"Very good, Yaoyao, you are really amazing. Even if I asked Auntie to look for them, I might not be able to find so many small stones of the same size."
When Shi Yaoyao was praised, her eyes sparkled, as if there were two little moons in them.
Shi Yuebai pointed out several directions to Shi Yaoyao and asked Shi Yaoyao to insert the pile of small stones he had picked up into those directions.
The range of the stun array was slowly expanding. Shi Yuebai pressed his hand on the ground with a talisman under his palm.
She converted her fat energy into spiritual energy through this spell and poured it into the dizziness array.
This is similar to charging. Every once in a while, Shi Yuebai would inject some spiritual energy into the stun array.
The more spiritual energy you inject, the longer the stun array will last.
It’s just that Shi Yuebai’s current ability is insufficient, and her obese body’s meridians are blocked everywhere.
It is totally impossible to convert more than ten or twenty kilograms of fat energy at one time.
Just these few ounces of fat energy, flowing slowly through the blocked meridians, would cause Shi Yuebai severe pain.
Not to mention that Shi Yuebai went out to bask in the wasteland sun for a whole day without eating or drinking.
She gained another two kilograms.
Shi Yuebai was in tears, and now she weighed 740 pounds.
Other people gain weight by drinking water, but she exaggerated a little and said she also gained weight by basking in the sun.
If it were the original owner, he would have definitely collapsed.
But Yuebai's character is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Even though the fat energy washed through her body's meridians, it was like tiny steel wires moving around in her meridians.
Shi Yuebai still insisted on infusing a few ounces of spiritual energy into the stun array.
He grabbed Shi Yaoyao again, put one hand on the top of Shi Yaoyao's head, and injected a pound of energy into Shi Yaoyao.
Shi Yaoyao didn't feel hungry at all, and she didn't understand what her aunt was doing.
But seeing that her aunt's forehead was covered with sweat, Shi Yaoyao reached out and wiped the sweat off her aunt's head.
"Aunt, are you tired? So tired..."
The little girl, with the IQ of a two-year-old, couldn't even utter a complete sentence.
Shi Yuebai touched Shi Yaoyao's head and smiled, with the fat on his face piled high like Maitreya Buddha.
"Auntie is not tired. Yaoyao, go find some more small stones. Auntie will be busy for a while."
Seeing this, Yaoyao crawled away obediently.
Shi Yuebai set his eyes on the large basin of water he had just picked up.
She used her short, fat fingers to make a fingerprint with great difficulty, concentrating her mind and calming her breath.
She was using a water gathering spell.
Energy continued to flow through her body, and every bit of converted energy made Shi Yuebai grimace in pain.
But Shi Yuebai held on firmly until tiny bits of mist condensed in the air.
The water mist followed the direction of Shi Yuebai's fingers and gathered towards the basin.
Until my second sister-in-law had put away all the bottles and jars.
She turned around, groping in the air with her hands.
"Yuebai, what are we looking for with all these bottles?"
"If any men break into our tarpaulin, we can hit them on the head with these bottles."
Shi Yuebai was concentrating and calming down, answering casually.
It's full of perfunctory attitude.
But Shi Ersao thought about it and felt that what Shi Yuebai said made sense.
It was already late, and Shi Ersao brought Shi Yaoyao back, and the two of them curled up beside Shi Yuebai.
"It's getting late. Let's go to bed early and go to town to sell potatoes tomorrow morning."
The next morning, Shi Ersao was awakened by the sound of water.
She suddenly got up from the ground, groping in the air with her hands.
"Water? Where does the water come from?"
There is also water in the wasteland.
But those water sources are all polluted, and anyone who drinks them will die immediately.
No living things can grow in this smelly, black water.
The management had no other choice. In order to keep the survivors alive as long as possible, they racked their brains to filter out 100% of the radioactively contaminated water.
This 100% radioactively contaminated water is drinkable. Although it is not good for the body, at least the survivors will not die immediately after drinking it.
So each team of survivors would go to the big city to buy water every once in a while.
Ordinary people don’t have water.
Water resources are controlled by management.
Moreover, water cannot be purchased privately, and only the survivor team will be sold to them.
Therefore, there is no one fighting alone in the wasteland. Everyone will work together to form a team of survivors.
Just to be able to buy water to drink.
Due to the lack of resources, water prices are inevitably becoming more and more expensive.
In the past few years, when people in the team went to the big city to buy water, they had to take away half of the team’s food.
In the past two years, half of the food has not been enough to buy enough water.
Most of the food the survivors found was used to buy water.
So don't blame Shi Ersao for being surprised today.
"Yuebai, is the team getting water?"
Shi Yuebai was very calm. He took the bottles and jars that Shi Ersao had sorted out yesterday and washed three of them in the basin.
"No, I left the basin next to the bridge pier yesterday. I don't know how it got filled with water overnight."
As he spoke, Shi Yuebai gritted his teeth.
She worked all night long, but ended up only gathering half a basin of water.
This morning, Shi Yuebai wanted to find three clean bottles and fill them with some water.
On the way into the city, I put it in Shi Yaoyao's backpack so she could drink it when she was thirsty.
As a result, the pile of bottles and jars they found yesterday were all dirty.
Shi Yuebai could only use one-third of the water to clean three glass bottles.
The bottle is not big, it is the kind used to store orange slices before the end of the world.
What made Shi Yuebai even angrier was that even though she tortured herself like this.
I only lost two pounds of fat in one night.
While Shi Yuebai was consuming the energy from her body's fat, her body was also expanding.
Moreover, the speed of expansion tends to accelerate.
Go, go, go, go
