Chapter 15: Abnormal Creatures in the Community (3)

Her father was eating and watching a short video, and Ye Nai was listening to a cheesy skit. After a while, she heard him exclaim and dropped the chopsticks in his hand.

"What? Are the noodles poisonous?"

"Hurry up and check your phone. Check your phone. I found the same dirt ridges as yesterday in the community!"

"what……?"

Ye Na didn't even have time to put down the bowl, and hurriedly went to her suitcase to get her cell phone which was charging.

The building group she joined was already frantically refreshing messages.

Just like yesterday, there are pictures and the truth, but what is different from yesterday is that the panic among the neighbors is worse than yesterday. Many people are saying that they have called the police many times, but now the calls cannot be got through.

Yesterday everyone was just watching the fun, but today everyone is worried about whether the building they live in is in danger.

Because the photo shows that today's earth ridge is between buildings 12 and 13.

There are 20 buildings in the community, and Ye Nai lives in Building 16, which is quite far away from Buildings 12 and 13 where the accident occurred, and not safe enough to make people feel at ease. In addition, all the residents in the community are now wondering if there are more abnormal creatures running around underground. Wouldn't this cause panic?

"This is terrible. The people in those two buildings must move out temporarily. They can't come back until the problem is completely resolved. I don't know if we in Building 16 should move."

"We won't move, we absolutely won't move. Where can we go for our family of six? Should we live in resettlement housing? This temporary transitional facility doesn't have a separate toilet. It only has public faucets and public toilets. How can I go to the toilet like this?" Her father slammed the table in anger.

"What if it's confirmed that there's a monster under our building? We have to move. We can choose to either stay with relatives or stay in a hotel if we have money. If we don't have anything, we can live in resettlement housing. Anyway, summer is still relatively easy now. We can overcome any difficulties. Winter is the worst."

"Stay in a hotel. If you have to move, then stay in a hotel."

"How much does a hotel for six people cost? Can a standard room accommodate six people? And we don't know how many days we will stay."

Her father calmed down and kept silent.

Once something like this happens and you are forced to stay in a hotel, you really can't tell how many days you will stay there, and there is no limit to how much money you can spend.

The resettlement housing was free, but the conditions were poor, and none of their relatives had enough spare rooms to accommodate them.

The only solution is to stay at home and don't move.

Ye Nai put down her phone and urged her father to go back to his room after dinner to worry about his brain. She collected the dishes for two people and checked the situation in the space while washing the dishes.

In the time it takes to eat a bowl of noodles, the "fluff balls" that fell in filled up the gaps in the space, and new ones continued to come in, forming a large pile.

Mycelium, is this the natal room where monsters lay their eggs?
Ye Nai was not panicking. Based on the amount of energy fed back by the mycelium, she could analyze that the area under her building was currently safe and there was nothing unusual.

Because the foundation at the bottom of the building was very deep, the spores could not go down, so a safety line was built around the entire building. What was fed back was the energy of ordinary organic matter, fallen leaves, passing insects and so on. The energy of abnormal creatures was so great that she could not miss it.

If it really hits your door, it's a takeaway that's been delivered to your door. It doesn't matter if there's no space to fit it. Just kill it and throw it on the ground for professionals to pick it up. This will also reassure the neighbors around you.

After cleaning up the kitchen and the dining table, I looked at my phone again. The latest news was that the army had arrived, with lots of high-definition photos. The entire neighborhood was blocked off, and a drone with a loud speaker flew high up. The loudspeaker repeated over and over again that the community was about to be cleared of abnormal creatures, and asked residents to stay home and not go out to avoid accidental injuries.

When Ye Na saw the photo of the military vehicle entering the community, he immediately recovered the mycelium spores and only kept those under his own building, and would not withdraw this safety line until the last moment.

Recycling spores is just a way of thinking that less trouble is worse than more trouble. Spores are so tiny that they are invisible to the naked eye, but the mycelium that grows from them is visible to the naked eye, just like the white hair on tofu, green hair on cakes, and black spots on the wall in our daily lives. These are the mycelium of different fungi. Now that so many people have come, there is no need to let them see a large amount of mycelium and trigger wild associations.

Since she was determined not to have awakened during the collective awakening, she would not take the opportunity to confess now. It's exciting to think about it.

Ye Nai sent a message to her mother, telling her the latest news in the community. Her mother quickly took a leave, rushed to the school, picked up the three children and took them to work, and returned home after the ban in the community was lifted.

Leaders and colleagues expressed their understanding of the situation. The world is not peaceful now, and abnormal creatures enter cities from time to time. Anyone may encounter such unfortunate things. If units have the conditions to do more, it will also help their social reputation.

The neighborhood was becoming more and more lively at this time.

Some awakened people took action and built a defense line between the buildings in the community, trying to force the abnormal creatures running around underground to open areas and then drive them out.

Yenna was lying on the balcony watching the action downstairs. The colorful offensive abilities were playing out in a lively manner, but the effect didn't seem to be that good.

The ground around buildings 15 and 17 next door showed signs of bulging, but building 16 was fine. Ye Na's safety line played a big role. Any abnormal creatures that approached were attacked by mycelium and their skin and flesh were decomposed.

Abnormal creatures are also living creatures. When they are attacked but cannot find the murderer, they will instinctively flee and dare not approach.

Seeing that the awakened ones were having a hard time fighting and were unable to drive the abnormal creatures underground to the surface, Ye Nai decided to help them. Otherwise, after a long time, someone might discover the abnormality of Building 16.

She stretched out her hand and released a large number of mutant spores, directing them to follow the underground energy, chasing after the abnormal creatures and gnawing at them, driving them out, but not exposing the mycelium.

Her spores moved as easily as her arms, sliding into the ground along the messy cracks in the ground. In less than three minutes, two thick, scaleless, long things broke through the surface and poked out. Before they could crawl out completely, the soldiers who were on high alert around them immediately shot and killed them.

Ye Na took the opportunity to retrieve the spores from underground.

The neighbors on the left and right and upstairs and downstairs who were also lying on the balcony watching let out waves of exclamations.

"Oh my God, what is that?!"

"A giant earthworm that has mutated locally?"

"Hey, are earthworms so disgusting when they are enlarged?"

"Anyway, we finally got them out, and our building won't collapse."

"Are you sure these are the only two underground?"

"These should be the two in our area. It looks like the ground is quiet."

"really."

"Yes, yes, it should be safe."

"Our building is fine. They were fighting fiercely, but they were always quite far away from our building. The buildings in front should be the safest now."

"Haha, yes, we are quite lucky."
