Chapter 53: Day 2 of the Wormwood Season (1) Temporarily recovering superpowers and Sen...
This is when the disadvantages of a big house come into play. Yu Luowei walked around the living room with a flame mosquito swatter for nearly an hour, and finally found a small mosquito that had stopped to rest under the table.
After all, Yu Luowei was ranked first in the combat power rankings, and his speed attribute was extremely high. He slapped the mosquito to death without waiting for it to fly up. However, Yu Luowei was not in the mood to continue massaging. He first checked whether the screen window on the first floor was damaged, and then ran to the basement to check the food storage.
The food was all good, the presentation, appearance, and taste were all normal. The ice cubes around were also emitting a chilling steam.
After checking the group chat, mosquitoes also appeared in the shelter of the people who kept their food in the refrigerator. Yu Luowei finally felt relieved: they must have been mosquitoes that flew in when they opened the window when they went out this morning before the screen was installed.
The massage chair timer can be paused. It was getting late, and Yu Luowei was not in the mood for another massage, so she went upstairs to sleep. Ma Tuan had already fallen asleep in her nest when Yu Luowei was about to start the massage.
Yu Luowei didn't sleep well that night. She kept dreaming about a giant mosquito monster that sucked all the air out of her base. She woke up in shock, only to realize it was just a dream. There wasn't even a mosquito hair in reality.
I get up, wash up, and have breakfast. Yu Luowei's bathroom is much more upscale now. Not only is the wet and dry area separated, but it also has an oversized bathtub, eliminating the plastic tub. It also has a washbasin, a mirror, and everything else, greatly increasing the comfort of living.
Now Yu Luowei's mental power limit has reached 1000, and mental defense is also easy to do. The adventurous factor in Yu Luowei's heart is stirring again.
Looking at the time, 7:50, not far from 8 o'clock, Yu Luowei decided to go out early and try out what the survival game was like at night near the fence.
For safety reasons, Yu Luowei asked Ma Tuan to stay at the gate of the base. If she was injured or fainted, Ma Tuan could take her back to the base.
Before setting off, Yu Luowei ate a special version of cumin lamb, which now had a buff: mental energy consumption was halved for ten minutes. It felt full, but eating such an oily meal so early in the morning was a bit greasy. He also donned the Wind suit with the highest stats, and a vitality potion in his bracelet. With everything ready, Yu Luowei stepped into the darkness.
When he first entered, Yu Luowei felt a sharp pain in his brain, as if being pricked by a needle, and he could even feel his mental strength slowly decreasing. However, there was no major problem for the time being, so Yu Luowei endured the pain and insisted on exploring forward.
The forest was now completely dark, and the visibility was even smaller than it had been during the fog. Yu Luowei could only grope around cautiously.
This exploration revealed something wrong. The map of the surroundings, showing which plants were in which places, unfolded clearly in Yu Luowei's mind like a scroll. Even if he couldn't see anything clearly, Yu Luowei could easily avoid obstacles.
This familiar yet strange feeling made Yu Luowei extremely surprised - this was his own psychic ability!
He didn't have this feeling when he was fighting monsters in the base a few nights ago. He had also come home late a few times before, and each time he was almost there. He ran into the shelter just before dark, but Yu Luowei had an intuition that even if he was still outside at night, he would not regain his supernatural powers.
After trying a few times, he was able to use any supernatural power attack, and he could freely take and store things in the space, which was more convenient than in the puzzle trial world. Yu Luowei was excited and couldn't help but start thinking: What is the reason that allows me to use my supernatural power again now?
Unsure whether it was because his mental power limit had reached 1,000 or because he had become the Lord of the Black Abyss, Yu Luowei took this opportunity to enter the two skills of Mind Control and Space Tearing on a blank skill card - both were successful.
Just as Yu Luowei was having fun entering her skills, danger came quietly - two huge moth-like monsters were slowly heading towards her.
Although the monster's movements were subtle, they were as obvious to Yu Luowei, who possessed SSS-level psychic abilities, as if he were being illuminated by a 24K light bulb. Pretending not to notice, Yu Luowei waited until the monsters approached, then cast a Mind Control and Mind Disruption attack on them.
For some reason, neither of these two attacks succeeded. Yu Luowei was shocked for a moment, then used Space Tear on them again, this time successfully tearing the monster into several halves, and the pieces of flesh fell from the sky to the ground.
Yu Luowei's spatial ability and mental ability are at the same level. In fact, because the main function of the spatial ability is to store items, spatial tearing is just an additional function, and its offensive power is not as strong as the mental ability. If spatial tearing can take effect but the mental ability does not, there is only one possibility - these monsters have no brains.
Even zombies can be controlled by psychic powers, but night monsters can't. So how do they move? Could it be that they rely on black energy?
There was no time to think too long. It was already 7:59. Yu Luowei hurriedly recorded two more skills, transferred some things to the bracelet, and then welcomed the sunrise outside the base.
With the arrival of the sun in the game, Yu Luowei was no longer able to use his supernatural powers. Sighing in frustration, Yu Luowei returned to the shelter to check his mental strength.
Unexpectedly, he discovered that his mental power was still full. However, Yu Luowei was able to confirm that he had lost mental power at the beginning, which meant that using mental powers later would not only not consume it, but also restore it.
After putting some snacks and spiritual comfort (novels collected during the zombie apocalypse and electronic products from Blue Star) brought from the space back into the shelter, and leaving the hot weapons in the bracelet, Yu Luowei took Ma Tuan and teleported to the entrance of the Black Abyss again.
Ma Tuan was sent out to lure out an ordinary level three hyena. Yu Luowei tested the effect of thermal weapons here. Well, it can't be said to be very effective. It can only be said that it is worse than having nothing. Not only did it not hurt the monster, it also angered it.
While dodging, Yu Luowei enchanted the bullet with fire magic, and then launched another attack. This time it was much better and he killed the enemy with one blow.
Although this small firearm lacked magic and had no offensive power, it was more convenient than a bow and arrow and could also serve as a means of unexpected attack. Yu Luowei placed it back on the bracelet with satisfaction—when facing monsters, it was usually more convenient to use magic directly.
Ever since learning that this season's disaster was an insect plague, Yu Luowei had become more attentive to the insects in his surroundings. He walked in the opposite direction of yesterday, observing his surroundings.
When he looked around, he saw a lot of insects, such as crickets, cockroaches, centipedes, spiders, and various caterpillars that he couldn't name, which made Yu Luowei feel a little nauseous.
But there were more than just insects; there were other animals too. Yu Luowei also caught a few colorful chickens. There was even an unknown bird that swooped down from the sky and picked up an earthworm right in front of Yu Luowei.
After burning a bunch of tangled centipede balls with fire, Yu Luowei harvested the first blue supply treasure chest of the day.
After burning it to disinfect it and storing it in the bracelet, Yu Luowei continued on his way. A small lake slowly appeared in front of him.
Calling it a lake isn't quite right; it's more like a pond—only about the size of four floor tiles. The water is fairly clear, and there don't seem to be any animals. There's only some moss at the bottom, which suggests it's probably more than two meters deep.
There is plenty of water, but Yu Luowei still scooped up some water and looked at the warning: heavily polluted, unable to be purified.
It looked clean, but unexpectedly it was heavily polluted, and there was no way to purify it. Yu Luowei quickly poured the water back and put the plastic box containing the water in a separate compartment, ready to be thrown into the trash can when she got home.
The sudden appearance of the heavily polluted pond, coupled with the warning of an insect plague, made Yu Luowei have some bad associations - this pond might become a mosquito base.
For a moment, Yu Luowei even had the idea of filling the pond with soil.
But this project is too big and it will definitely not be completed today. After thinking about it, Yu Luowei put on gloves, crushed a few poisonous fruits and threw them in - since the potion made from poisonous fruits can affect other monsters, then killing a few mosquito larvae should be no problem, right?
After walking around again, he discovered several new ponds of various sizes, all heavily polluted. Yu Luowei simply wouldn't believe that there was nothing fishy going on.
Following the same method, he threw different numbers of poisonous fruits into the pond according to its size. Since he didn't see any other animals and the poisonous fruits were useless against plants, Yu Luowei left the area with peace of mind.
Walking further, Yu Luowei received a system prompt after a long absence:
[There is a powerful level 6 monster stationed ahead, so proceed with caution until you have sufficient strength.]
The system was quite humane, and would give advance warnings when encountering powerful monsters. Of course, even without the warning, Ma Tuan was desperately trying to stop himself from moving forward. Yu Luowei also set up a conveyor belt here and took Ma Tuan back.
The disaster was gradually getting worse. On the way back, Yu Luowei encountered a large group of moth monsters. They were the same size as ordinary moths, but their scales were poisonous. While Yu Luowei was dodging, the corner of his gear accidentally touched the scales, causing a crack.
Fortunately, apart from this group of moths, the other insects did not show any aggressiveness for the time being. Yu Luowei directly used fire magic to ignite the moth group.
After being burned, the moths not only did not disperse, but instead gathered closer together, forming a large fireball. The flames grew more intense until the entire moth group and the surrounding scales were completely burned.
After extinguishing the fire that had accidentally started around him and stuffing the fallen treasure chest into the bracelet, Yu Luowei used the teleportation card to teleport to the wheat field, but felt something was wrong.
After harvesting the wheat for a while, Yu Luowei realized what was wrong: it was the movements of the moths! Normally, the connections between moths were weak, and they didn't have such strong group collaboration abilities. Moths are phototactic, so normally, they would be flying towards the flame.
The phenomenon of forming a ball just now reminded Yu Luowei of another common insect - the ant.
Because ants are so small, Yu Luowei usually just glanced at them in the grass, never crouching down to examine the ground carefully, and therefore overlooked this insect. Such unusual sights often have a meaning, and she now strongly suspected that the wingless insect pictured on the sign was an ant.
