Chapter 93 The Second Source of the Zombie World on the 3rd and 4th Days
After returning to the base, Yu Luowei first mixed the supplies he found with those in the space and handed them over to the authorities in exchange for a lot of contribution points.
Because she had already handed in quite a bit this time, Yu Luowei didn't participate in any more missions, spending a warm half-month with her mother. However, her mother wasn't one to sit idle. Although her efforts had accumulated a large number of contribution points in her base account, enough to last her ten years, she still actively participated in the small commissions the base offered to those with special abilities who weren't part of the patrol.
Yu Luowei went with her a few times at first, and didn't find any unsafe places, so she went with her too.
Three months into her time in the zombie world, she decided to set out in search of a second source. According to Yu Luowei's previous memories, officials had already begun the site selection and cleanup work for the new base, which lasted about a month. So, before setting off, Yu Luowei made inquiries and found the progress consistent with her previous memories, so she left with peace of mind.
Before leaving, the young lady at that level also subtly reminded her that she could come back early, as she might need to be assigned housing later. After thanking her, Yu Luowei drove away from the base in her own car.
This second source was located in Country A. She wasn't entirely clear on the current situation in Country A, having only a map from before the zombie outbreak. She could only take things one step at a time. Driving and teleporting to an uninhabited beach, Yu Luowei pulled out a plane from her spaceship and switched to a plane for travel.
Because he was unfamiliar with the route, there was no way to rest unless he gave up the plane halfway. Yu Luowei stayed at the beach for one night to adjust his physical strength before setting off again.
Fortunately, the black gas did not affect the climate, and she did not encounter any emergencies during the flight. She landed safely on the ground in Country A.
As for how she was sure it was from Country A, perhaps the system had a change of heart and, knowing she wasn't very familiar with the area, gave her a more detailed dynamic map. Using this, Yu Luowei found the approximate area where the source was.
Country A has always been a vast and sparsely populated country. The road was mostly rural, with few houses to be seen, and even fewer zombies. Yu Luowei rested in a few houses along the way, and these houses were indeed not much different from the ones she had seen in the drama, satisfying her curiosity.
This route was determined when she first arrived. She deliberately avoided the city because too many people would cause trouble. In addition, guns were not banned here, and she was carrying glutinous rice balls, so it was easy for accidents or even conflicts to occur.
When they arrived at the place, according to her remaining geographical knowledge, this should not be some famous scenic spot or place in Country A, but just next to a very ordinary farm. There was only one house owned by the farmer within a few miles. The unusual thing was that there was a small river next to it.
Based on her last experience, she now strongly suspected that this stream was the source. However, the inconvenient thing was that there were still a few survivors on the farm here.
The zombie outbreak happened during harvest time, so this family probably hired quite a few workers. While Yu Luowei was staying at another farm far away, he saw over a dozen different unfamiliar faces through his telescope. He didn't know how they managed to avoid the one-third chance of being killed, or was it because they had guns and killed the zombies in time?
But the environment here is so excellent. It happens to be a farm, it was harvest season, there is a river next to it, and the population is very sparse, which means there are few zombies. No matter what the reason is that they survived in the early days of the zombie world, it would be very easy for them to continue to survive here.
Yu Luowei wasn't sure what measures Country A's officials had in place, but it was clear that the group before her intended to stay. Was she going to just kill all of them? Yu Luowei wasn't a good person, but she wasn't a murderer either. These people had no grudges against her, and she still felt bad about killing them all.
Just as he was about to mentally control them to leave the area, he heard movement not far away: dozens of zombies crawled out of the creek. The survivors here were obviously used to the zombies appearing from time to time. They pulled out their guns and rushed forward to fight the zombies.
Even from a long distance, Yu Luowei could see the lightning and fire emanating from the zombie through the telescope. He knew at a glance that it was not an ordinary zombie. There should be people with special abilities among the survivors, but they were obviously not as powerful as these zombies and soon fell into a disadvantage.
Yu Luowei didn't need to take action, as the number of survivors dropped by half. The remaining people saw that they could no longer stay here, so they immediately got in the car and left, and also led the zombies away.
Yu Luowei waited for a while, but the group of people did not come back. It seemed that they had already thought of escaping. After dealing with the zombies that did not follow them, they came to the river.
The river looked quite long. After walking along it for a while, Yu Luowei didn't see the source, so he released ice and fire magic directly on the river surface at the beginning, starting the purification. However, this time it would take ten days to complete. Yu Luowei temporarily stayed in the original house.
That day, Yu Luowei went to check the purification as usual, but heard a sound from afar. He took out a telescope and saw that it was the car coming back that day.
Could it be that they left in such a hurry last time that they didn't have time to take the supplies with them, and came back to get them this time? If that was the case, she could have directly controlled their departure, but if they didn't get the supplies, these people would definitely come back later, so it would be better to get rid of them once and for all.
Alas, there is a road to heaven but you don't take it, and there is no door to hell but you insist on breaking in. Yu Luowei put down the telescope and decided to wait until they are closer and then control them to crash directly into the house.
The reality was exactly as she had planned. The huge commotion once again attracted zombies from a distance, and as Yu Luowei went to the scene to clean up the zombies, she also made a new discovery:
After the first purification of the source, Yu Luowei's magic power became stronger. According to the standards of the zombie world, it evolved from Class B to Class A.
This time, when Yu Luowei used fire magic to kill the zombies, she also had a strange feeling. She seemed to be able to control the black energy on the zombies.
While she couldn't completely remove the zombies, she could still weaken their powers. After all, whether they were zombies or psychics, their powers came from the black energy. Furthermore, she could manipulate the black energy to infect ordinary people, turning them into zombies. Destruction was always easier than salvation.
Although this function is a bit useless, it is still very useful in special circumstances. For example, now, Yu Luowei turned the bodies of several people in the car into zombies, creating the illusion that the accident was caused by one person being infected but not discovered in time, and then the disease broke out in the car and infected others, eliminating all his worries.
Furthermore, she used her black energy to attract a large number of zombies to gather around her. There was no other way. This place was vast and sparsely populated, with few zombies and relatively abundant supplies. Many more people would surely arrive later, and the zombies would form a natural defensive wall. Once she left, the group of zombies naturally dispersed.
By the time this second source was completely purified, the zombies had completely ignored Yu Luowei, likely viewing her as one of their own kind due to the black energy emanating from her. Yu Luowei suspected that her ultimate escape from this world might be due to the fact that the purification wasn't truly a cleansing, but rather that she served as a conduit or temporary container for the black energy. If she hadn't left, she would have become the next source of contamination.
But no matter what, the system also said that there is a ten-month period, which means that she is still safe from this world during these ten months. Now the second source has disappeared, and it has only been less than four months, so the speed is still very fast.
The surrounding situation was roughly restored, but there was no way to deal with the river water. It hadn't rained in the past few days, and the river was not as low in water as the previous lake. The amount of ice she stored was not much, so she could only deal with it hastily and leave.
This time when she went back, she brought some special products from the farm here. However, the agricultural products on both sides were definitely quite different. The young lady in charge couldn't tell the difference, but the people above might not. Yu Luowei put these things in the space, and what she handed in was exchanged for supplies in the space.
We also looted some supplies along the way, but during this period, the big cities were almost all bombed, and the supermarkets and factories that still had large amounts of supplies stored were also almost destroyed, so the amount looted was much less than before.
After returning to the base, the construction of the new base next door had already begun. After Yu Luowei exchanged the supplies for points, he asked around with his teammates and learned that the patrol team's psychics could now choose their rooms, but a lot of contribution points were required.
Yu Luowei contacted the person in charge to find out. She still needed the contribution points she'd accumulated to get a double room in a decent location. So, after discussing it with her mother, she took on a few more missions to eliminate high-level zombies, donating the supplies she had in the space as if they were found outside. She collected enough contribution points and received the "property certificate" for the new base three days after returning.
In fact, her mother had never quite understood why Yu Luowei was so anxious, and Yu Luowei couldn't explain it, so she could only act cute and coquettish to get by. However, because the high-level zombies on the mission were said to be very dangerous by other psychics, her mother would not let Yu Luowei continue to take missions, insisting that she rest well at the base, and Yu Luowei had no choice but to agree.
However, she was not idle in the base, because the ability she reported included the ability of clairvoyance, and the officials pulled her in to assist in the construction of new bases and other tasks within the base, replenishing her points that were cleared due to buying a house, and she also showed up there.
This time, I stayed in the base until the beginning of the fifth month. Thanks to the hard work of the new construction team, half of whom are people with special abilities, several buildings have been built in the new base. Those who have already bought houses can start moving in, and others can officially exchange for housing in the new base.
This time the room is much better than the previous one. It is a 40-square-meter two-bedroom, one-living room apartment with no public area. It also has a kitchen, so I can cook at home properly in the future.
Mom was also pleased with the house, but after moving, she sat on the edge of the bed, staring blankly at the sunset. Yu Luowei knew she was missing Dad, so she sat beside her. Excuses were just excuses. They all knew that Dad had likely met with misfortune when the zombie outbreak first broke out. The dead are dead, but the living must continue to live. Mom understood this principle, quickly wiped away her tears, and continued mopping the floor.
After staying in the new home for another three days, the neighbors arrived one after another. On the morning of the fourth day, Yu Luowei told himself: I can't indulge in this kind of warmth anymore, it's time to do some real work.
