Chapter 92 The First Source of the Zombie World on the Second Day
Compared to last time, this time the distance was twice as far, but with plenty of time, Yu Luowei decided to drive half the way and teleport the other half. Although she had traveled back through time, her mental power remained, just invisible. If she used teleportation exclusively, her mental power, which had been reduced to level B, might not be able to withstand it.
Use teleportation when there are no buildings, and drive when entering a city. After casually dispatching who knows how many zombies that hit him, Yu Luowei finally drove the car he had exchanged for earlier into the destination province.
The game system only gave a rough location, so Yu Luowei had to slowly search for it on his own. During the four or five days of traveling, he encountered many zombies on the road, and occasionally encountered a zombie tide.
But there were advantages to being alone: she could use her powers freely, even releasing Ma Tuan. Unlike during missions, where she couldn't use space magic, fire magic, or ice magic, Yu Luowei fired an ice bomb, then a fireball. It felt more like she was playing than killing zombies.
Thinking back to when she was still struggling with her bow and arrow, only able to kill one zombie at a time, Yu Luowei couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion. However, perhaps because these zombies had been completely transformed, fire magic was no longer able to purify them. It seemed that she had to eliminate the source as soon as possible.
Following the map in his mind, Yu Luowei arrived at a small village. It wasn't on the bombing route, so it looked like the source was nearby, and nothing closer. He drove around the village carefully, seeing no humans, only zombies roaming. Yu Luowei parked his car, released Ma Tuan, who didn't want to ride, from his pet space, and entered the village.
Many of the houses in the village had collapsed, revealing their red bricks. Some of the plants in the fields had withered, while others were still thriving. The soil pollution wasn't too serious yet, so Yu Luowei dispatched the zombies with ease. She carefully observed the lush plants, identifying some as wheat and sesame. She collected some and would return to base later, mixing them with the seeds she'd purchased with her points. This would be her harvest.
Even small animals like chickens were not spared. Ma Tuan's coercion was effective here, and he quickly became one with the small animals. Yu Luowei asked Ma Tuan to find other animals, while he chose a relatively intact house and cleaned it up briefly, using it as his base for the next few days.
There were some daily necessities in the house, neatly arranged but covered in dust. The owner, along with the people in this village, had likely met with misfortune when the zombie outbreak first occurred; otherwise, the blankets and other items would have been stolen, and there wouldn't be so many animals and plants left.
Put all the useful items in the house into the space; these daily necessities can be sold to the official supermarket later. Yu Luowei took out his cozy bed, a small generator, and various electrical appliances. The autumn heat was still raging, and the weather was a bit hot and stuffy. Yu Luowei turned on the fan first, which both cooled the temperature and increased ventilation.
Ma Tuan had almost completed the task, so Yu Luowei called it back, looked at the stronghold, and went for a walk around the village.
The environment around this village is very good, with mountains and water, and it is quite a distance away from the town. If it weren't for the probability of a zombie outbreak, it would definitely be a good place to hide from zombies.
After casually burning a few zombies by the river to ashes, Yu Luowei had already circled the area several times, but felt nothing. Could this system be giving wrong information? Yu Luowei returned to the base, full of doubt.
He tried calling the system several times in his mind, but got no response. Only a voice of "no error" sounded in Yu Luowei's ears. Yu Luowei temporarily dispelled his doubts and started to eat dinner.
Today, she had a box lunch made by her mother. Her cooking skills were even better than Yu Luowei's, and she hadn't tasted this flavor in decades, so she thoroughly enjoyed it.
After dinner, Yu Luowei took advantage of the darkness to go out for a walk, but still had no luck. However, a few more zombies appeared out of nowhere, much more ferocious than during the day. Yu Luowei dispatched them and returned to the base to sleep.
Although it was a bit strange, there was a large forest near the village. Yu Luowei just wandered around the edge during the day, so she naturally thought that the zombie ran out from the depths of the forest. Therefore, after returning, she wrapped the stronghold with an ice wall and planned to go around in the forest if there was no sense tomorrow.
The houses in this village were already simple, and after experiencing the ravages of zombies, they were even more dilapidated. Not to mention Yu Luowei's castle in the game, even the dormitory in the base couldn't compare. Lying in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, Yu Luowei decided to speed up and eliminate the source as soon as possible, and spend the rest of the time at the base with her mother.
The next morning, Yu Luowei and Ma Tuan woke up early, having slept restlessly. After another walk around the area, feeling nothing, Yu Luowei decided to follow her plan from yesterday and head deeper into the forest.
This forest looked mysterious and dangerous. Besides zombies, there might even be brown bears. Furthermore, being close to the source, the animals here were likely to transform into zombies sooner than in other places. Yu Luowei took Ma Tuan with him to scare off other wild animals.
This forest was even harder to navigate than the ones in the game, and zombies would occasionally appear. Yu Luowei didn't take it seriously at first, but as the zombies began to appear, she became suspicious. There were no fields in this forest. Even if many people in this village made a living by hunting or picking mushrooms, wouldn't the number of zombies in this forest be too many? Could there be a village inside?
With this thought in mind, Yu Luowei stopped aimlessly walking forward and instead headed in the direction the zombies were coming from. The closer he got, the more zombies there were, from a few to over a dozen. Yu Luowei's magic began to stir. Was he about to see the source? Yu Luowei quickened his pace as he incinerated the zombies that rushed towards him.
After pushing aside a tangled set of branches, Yu Luowei's right hand used fire magic and ice magic to make her feel the dual worlds of ice and fire - she didn't say it was this kind of sensation!
Fortunately, when Yu Luowei approached the source, which was a lake in the mountains, this feeling gradually disappeared, as if it had just appeared to remind her.
The lake water was so clear that you could see the small rocks at the bottom, devoid of any living creatures. Furthermore, despite being surrounded by trees and weeds, the surface of the lake was devoid of any fallen leaves or grass, making it unusually clean.
Yu Luowei walked to the lakeside and could finally see the black mist lingering in the water. However, the concentration was much lower than that of the Black Abyss Entrance Lake, which was why Yu Luowei only discovered it when he got closer.
Just as I was about to take a closer look at the lake water to see how to purify it, suddenly, several whirlpools appeared in the center of the lake, and then several zombie heads slowly rose up, followed by their bodies, legs...
Yu Luowei killed them immediately before the zombies completely emerged. No wonder it took seven years to completely kill the zombies last time. It turned out that zombies would also appear here. I just don't know where these zombies came from.
It now seems that if the source of zombie animals can be solved early, the number of zombie animals and the number of human deaths will be greatly reduced, and the apocalypse here will be over sooner.
Without worrying about the various thoughts in his mind, Yu Luowei placed his hand on the lake, ready to release magic.
Because he had used fire magic to evolve before, Yu Luowei also released fire magic first this time. However, there was no change in the lake water. Thinking of the feeling of ice and fire before coming here, Yu Luowei released both ice and fire magic at the same time.
This time, before Luo Wei increased the power of magic, ice and fire quickly spread, rolled, and merged on the surface of the lake, and the lake water gradually took on a strange beauty.
A voice also appeared in Yu Luowei's mind: It will take seven days to completely absorb the black air.
Considering that the zombie apocalypse sweeping the entire planet could only have four sources, these seven days seemed short. Yu Luowei returned to the village first, planning to check on the purification process every morning, noon, and evening, replenishing his magic until it was completely cleansed.
In the past few days, there have been a few planes flying over the sky from time to time, all heading to bomb areas in the city where there are many zombies. Although the bombing area in the village is relatively far away, Yu Luowei can still hear some noises from time to time.
The bombing lasted for a whole month. She remembered that the bombs were completely useless in the later stages. The zombies' superpowers had evolved to be very powerful. Seeing this situation, in order to avoid greater pollution and protect the remaining supplies, the authorities gave up using more powerful nuclear bombs and shifted their focus to training people with superpowers and how to stimulate the superpowers of more people.
Yu Luowei planned to resolve this source and then go to the city where she remembered the zombies' backlash causing countless casualties, to help the authorities and at least reduce the casualties. Then she would return to base to hand in her mission, spend a few days with her mother, and then search for the next source.
With a well-planned plan, the next few days were spent in the company of Yu Luowei and Ma Tuan. During these seven days, Yu Luowei had to replenish her magic every day. As time went on, the lake's water level dwindled. By the time the purification was complete, the once clear lake had transformed into a vast pit.
This earth pit was out of tune with the lush greenery surrounding it. Before leaving, Yu Luowei placed the ice wall surrounding the temporary base in it, melting it and turning it into a small lake again.
It happened to rain heavily that day, replenishing the lake's water. Yu Luowei wasn't worried that the water her magic melted into would affect the course of history. The system had already told her that ice magic melted into ordinary water. So, as soon as the rain stopped, she drove away from the village.
Following the official map, Yu Luowei found the city where the zombies with the ability to rebound were located. Because she was so fast, the authorities hadn't yet bombed the area, so she simply eliminated all the zombies with high-level abilities. The remaining zombies were ordinary zombies, not a threat to the authorities.
After wandering around for another day and not finding any other potential zombies, Yu Luowei returned to the base before the officials arrived.
