73 -71: I Have a Fish Pond
“Okay,” Li Qian rolled down the car window, and the pungent wind poured in.
She sat on the roof, her feet planted on top of the front passenger seat to secure her position.
The car was moving fast, and the hot wind scraped Su Mo’s face painfully, but she endured and raised her gun.
The intense sense of danger in her heart made each shot she fired hit a zombie’s head with precision.
As Lu Chen drove, zombies approaching their car were always taken down by Su Mo in one shot.
There were so many that when he couldn’t dodge in time, he had no choice but to drive over the bodies lying in the middle of the road.
The police car that Jianxiong was handling was not having an easy time either.
Su Mo noticed the situation behind them and turned around to help clear the zombies that kept jumping out from the roadside.
Zhao Changsheng’s Thunder kept firing, blasting out sparks of electricity.
“We’re close, just the last wave ahead,” Li Qian kept firing his gun in his seat, growling as his head throbbed with pain.
“I’m out of bullets!” Su Mo shouted, climbing down from the sunroof, her expression anxious.
Li Qian was also out of bullets.
His vision began to darken, and dense black spots swirled before his eyes, as if he would faint at any moment.
Jianxiong’s car had fallen some distance behind them, and things were not looking good.
Lu Chen threw another magazine to her, and Su Mo quickly grabbed it and climbed back up.
Several zombies had latched onto the front of the other car, and Jianxiong could barely see the road in front of him.
With bated breath and concentration, Su Mo shot off the zombies clinging to their window, while Zhao Changsheng leaned out from the front passenger side to pull the zombies off their window.
Only then did Jianxiong manage to pick up speed again.
The two cars, one after the other, charged out of the commercial street and back onto the main road.
The number of zombies on the road ahead began to drastically decrease, but there was a long chain following behind the car.
They drove out of Pingshui County, and Li Qian couldn’t hold on any longer and collapsed unconscious onto the back seat.
When Su Mo climbed down from the roof, her face was red from the hot wind, and her skin had started to peel.
She sat in the front passenger seat, took Lu Chen’s backpack, found the bottle with tea, and gulped down some Healing Tea, instantly feeling a cooling sensation on her face.
She turned to glance at the unconscious Li Qian, thought for a moment, then crawled to the back seat.
She pried open his mouth and poured in some Jasmine Tea.
Unconsciously swallowing, the dry energy in his belly began to stir slightly, and his pale complexion quickly improved.
Only then did Su Mo feel reassured as she put away the tea and resettled herself in the front passenger seat.
Sticking her head out, she glanced at Jianxiong’s car behind them.
Jianxiong stretched out his muscular arm and gave her a thumbs up; Su Mo smiled slightly and retracted back into the car.
With the danger gone, she only now felt the stabbing pain in her back.
She sat upright, not daring to lean on the chair, sipping Biluochun Tea from time to time to ease the pain.
“Does it hurt a lot?” Lu Chen turned to look at her, a hint of sympathy in his eyes.
“I can bear it,” Su Mo gave him a smiling face, turned away from him, and curled up sideways in her seat, calling up the panel.
The progress bar at the bottom was full, and a little treasure chest was bouncing at the end.
Su Mo immediately felt that her back wasn’t hurting anymore, and her hands were no longer sore; she tapped on the chest right away.
[This upgrade unlocks 5 spaces in both the backpack and the seasoning rack, activates the fish pond feature, and a God Chef Upgrade Gift Package*2 is placed in the backpack.]
This time she did not rush to open the gift package, but was deeply attracted by the word “fish pond.”
A mini pond icon appeared at the bottom of the small mall, and curious, she clicked on it.
The panel before her eyes immediately blurred into a virtual pond, reminiscent of when she played QQ Farm as a child.
She looked at the small pond from a god’s perspective, noticing a title next to it for exchanging fish fry.
She clicked on it to find a variety of saltwater and freshwater products, each listed with an exchange price and product description.
The cheapest grass carp and river shrimp only required a single zombie to exchange, while emperor crab and lobsters just made her swallow her saliva and look away.
She had just started a new progress bar, and needed ten thousand points to level up again.
After her last upgrade, she had five points left, so she tried buying five grass carps.
[Would you like to put in the fish fry?
Initial input limit: 100]
Su Mo clicked yes, and instantly five juvenile fish appeared in the pond, each with a harvest countdown above its head.
They would mature in 24 hours.
From a god’s perspective, Su Mo watched the little fish swim happily in the pond, almost drooling.
After exiting the pond, she calmed down for a bit before clicking on the two gift packages.
A burst of firecrackers erupted, and Su Mo received a new prompt.
[Congratulations on receiving a set of God Chef kitchen utensils]
It was a very ordinary set of household kitchen utensils, with the knives, spatulas, cutting board, and three pairs of bowls and chopsticks that Su Mo was in need of.
[Congratulations on receiving the God Chef version of an “Effortless” multifunctional rice cooker]
“Huh?” Su Mo sat upright from her seat.
“Lu…
Lu Chen!” She stared at the small white multifunctional rice cooker that popped out of the gift package, flabbergasted.
“Hmm?” The man driving turned his head for a glance.
Seeing Li Qian still dizzy in the back, Su Mo winked at him:
“I’ll tell you when we get back.”
“Hmm.”
By the time they had descended the winding mountain road and arrived at the prison, it was already evening.
The two muscular guards at the gate were the same as before, but this time they didn’t even bother to ask questions and immediately opened the iron gate to let the cars in as they spotted them.
Mo Yan, who had regained consciousness early in the morning, had already sent people to wait here.
Hearing of their return, he, despite the injuries on his back, was helped to the gate by Chu Mengyao.
Li Qian had come to his senses before arriving at the prison, the stabbing pain in his head gone and the energy in his belly circulating even more than before, leaving him puzzled yet unsure of the reason.
Su Mo got out of the car, opened the trunk, and signaled to the waiting strong men to carry the stuff to the granary.
Just as Mo Yan was about to come over and speak to her, Lu Chen quickly took the car keys, locked the car, and carried her away.
Zhao Changsheng held two boxes of liquor in her arms and left straight away; she had no intention of sharing.
Jianxiong quietly followed her, eyeing the liquor in her hands.

Li Qian patted Mo Yan on the shoulder and said gently, “Let’s talk tomorrow about anything, we’re tired today too.”
His fiery eyes dimmed as he nodded, and Chu Mengyao stepped forward, embracing him weakly: “Let’s go, Mo Yan.”
“Hmm,” Mo Yan replied, his voice carrying a touch of detachment as he withdrew his arm from her grasp.
He was already well-informed about her deeds through the mouths of many, and he was a bit annoyed and helpless at the same time.
In his eyes, Chu Mengyao was no longer the perfect and intelligent woman he thought she was.
Su Mo was carried back to the dormitory by Lu Chen.
When they reached the ground floor, she discovered Hao Hu, who had been tied to a tree, was missing.
She caught one of the patrolling strong men and asked, only to learn that in the afternoon, Hao Hu had strangled himself to death with the chain that tethered him.
