Chapter 16: Abnormal Creatures in the Community (4)

After listening to the discussions of the neighbors, Ye Nai felt relieved as no one noticed anything unusual in the building. She didn't care whether the investigators would have any questions afterwards.

How powerful did the investigators have to be to suspect her, an 18-year-old who was determined not to have awakened during the collective awakening?

After the two abnormal creatures were killed, half of their bodies were hanging on the ground. Then the soldiers escorted a team of people wearing protective clothing and carrying detection equipment to check the situation underground. Then they began to assemble an extra-large mobile tent to tightly cover the area where the battle had just taken place.

Seeing this, the surrounding neighbors felt more relieved and started to do research. This area should be fine, but the fight is still going on in other places.

Ye Nai only joined the group of this building, but many people joined multiple groups. Now it has become a message transfer station, constantly forwarding the latest photos from other groups.

[Wow, fighting is still going on in various places in the community. ]

【We will end the battle the fastest here. 】

[I don't know how long this thing is. Once the tent is erected, I can't see anything.]

[What's so good about this disgusting thing? It would be better to kill it. ]

[That is, dead abnormal creatures are good creatures. ]

[Hey, hey, hey, does anyone know when the ban in our community will be lifted? It’s almost time to get off work and school. ]

[Yes, my family will be back soon, and I don’t know when the ban will be lifted. ]

[I don't know, there is no news. I guess I have to wait until the game is over before the ban can be lifted.]

[It must be finished. ]

[It’s over. My children don’t have cell phones. They got out of school early and I don’t know where they are now.]

[It’s the same in my family. ]

[How silly! You only think of your child now? Wasn't there an adult at work who could pick up the child in time?]

【If adults ask for leave, their wages will be deducted. 】

[What kind of unscrupulous boss is this? Does this kind of boss think that he will never encounter such bad luck in his life? ]

[Hey, hey, hey, don't be too nervous. There must be police waiting at the gate. Any adults or children coming back will be stopped. It won't be that bad. Unless one of your children is too naughty and doesn't go home after school and goes somewhere else to play, then you can't blame anyone.]

The group was quiet for a while, and most of the people were contacting their families.

Ye Nai released the spores she had just recovered, scattering them all over the community, chasing after the abnormal creatures causing trouble underground and chewing them, driving them out from underground one by one, two, three, and four.

She also took the opportunity to replenish her mycelium space and collected a strand of uniform thickness. The two strands she had collected previously had been decomposed by more than half, leaving no bones, and the eggs had been completely decomposed. After collecting the third strand, only a few empty spaces were left in the space.

The photos updated at any time in the building group confirmed that Ye Nai's efforts were not in vain. One after another, large tents were erected. In some photos, researchers could be seen carrying out basins of things covered with cloth, but the outline of the cloth still allowed Ye Nai to recognize at a glance that the basins contained those eggs. Seeing the danger go away, the atmosphere in the group became relaxed again, and they just waited for the ban to be lifted.

By almost six o'clock, large lighting fixtures were erected in the community, and drones with loudspeakers took off again, announcing the lifting of the ban on each building.

Following the horn were primary and secondary school students who were stopped at the door. Their parents had no one to pick them up in advance, and they came home early after school but could not get into their homes. Fortunately, the local police station was prepared and set up a civil affairs tent on the street to temporarily accommodate them, preventing these children from wandering around the streets.

Ye Nai quickly called her mother, and her mother decided to go home for dinner. She asked her eldest daughter to cook some rice noodles, and she would bring back a bag of steamed buns.

The thrilling day has finally come to an end. Whether there are still abnormal creatures under the community requires further inspection. At the same time, there is the latest news in the group. Residents whose houses have been arched up by ridges should pay attention. They may have to temporarily move to resettlement housing and wait for the safety inspection of the house.

As the news came out, all groups in the community were in chaos again. Only three or five buildings remained out of the incident, including Building 16.

Ye Na felt more relieved. It turned out that Building 16 was not the only safe zone, so it would attract less attention.

After the afternoon battle, she also confirmed one thing. The supernatural spores grew and multiplied underground into a large number of mycelium to assist in the battle. Before the battle, more than one person passed by Building 16, but no one noticed any abnormal supernatural fluctuations. Either their minds were not on this, or her spores and fungi were really undetectable and unmeasured, and her mycelium...

Ye Na suddenly realized that her belief that mycelium could be seen by the naked eye was based on common sense.

In fact, she has never actually conducted an experiment to see whether the mycelium grown from her supernatural spores can really be seen by the naked eye.

If her spores, fungi, and mycelium were truly undetectable, unmeasurable, and even unseen, then what a terrifying weapon her powers would be?

Thinking that such a wonderful thing had happened to her, Ye Naile, who was washing vegetables and cooking rice noodles in the kitchen, smiled happily.

Half an hour later, her mother returned home with her siblings. While eating, the family discussed the emergence of so many abnormal creatures like mutated giant earthworms in the community. Even the youngest sister wondered whether so many big insects had made nests underground in the community.

Ye Na also found it strange. How could it be the egg-laying season on such a hot day? But the large number of eggs collected in the space were not fake. The substances that could be decomposed, transformed and absorbed by the mycelium must be organic matter.

However, she did not dwell on this question for too long. They were all abnormal creatures and could not be viewed with the common sense of ordinary creatures. She only had a high school education and did not have the brains to analyze the reasons behind them.

After dinner, the family was in chaos as usual. Her younger siblings were too excited about today's events to concentrate on their homework. Her mother had to take care of her husband, and Ye Na had to do the housework, and she still found time to yell at her younger siblings to do their homework. She was so busy that she was overwhelmed.

But taking this opportunity, Ye Nai threw two spores into the old yellow leaves that she peeled off when washing vegetables, and then placed them on the kitchen counter, pretending to throw them into the fermentation barrel after she was done.

In her sight, the two spores quickly grew and multiplied into a large patch, completely covering the leaves.

The brothers and sisters who couldn't calm down would run to the kitchen to get some water. The three of them wasted half an hour just taking turns to get water. The vegetable leaves covered with mycelium were not far from them, but no one even looked at them.

Yenna didn't know whether they really couldn't see it or they really didn't notice it.

The experiment failed, so Ye Na collected the spores and threw the remaining leaves into the fermentation barrel, and decided to try it in a crowded place next time.
