Doomsday: Humanity shrinks 100 times

Chapter 104 Spider Nest Exploration
This battle was fought without losing a single soldier, and it was the first time that they defeated an unpredictable and powerful enemy through technological means.

Of course, you still need to rely on superpowers in the end, but superpowers will also be the same basic conditions as wisdom, and they can only be infinitely magnified if used well.

The final formal elimination of the entire operation was actually the simplest. Except for Zhang Xinyue, no one else even felt anything before it was over.

The real difficulty lies in the construction work itself. It can be said that the entire construction and testing process is the sniper plan itself.

The victory of this operation is also inspiring, and the facilities built will serve as protection for future shelters.

At least the construction of this tower and amplifier is very useful to everyone.

Although Zhang Xinyue cannot cover a very wide range in range exploration, she can completely explore and map the surrounding terrain and plants bit by bit through point and line exploration.

Based on this, the amplifier can even be expanded in the future to cover the forest area or even further.

As for the sniper platform, although it is not very flexible now, with the most basic manufacturing experience, it can be improved in the future.

The production process also gave everyone a lot of hints, including how to use Zou Yunxin's special abilities, and Lu Yuning was already considering making a portable crossbow.

In short, this enemy-clearing operation has yielded great results in manufacturing development.

In addition, there are also material gains.

"Everyone, the elimination was successful." Lu Yuning came to the shelter and said to everyone.

Everyone applauded in celebration.

"What's next?"

"Why don't you go in and take a look?"

"It's still dangerous, right?"

"Now that the mutants are dead, those ordinary spiders shouldn't attack us anymore."

"Not necessarily. Our size puts us within their hunting range."

"."

Everyone started discussing the next course of action.

Lu Yuning listened to everyone's discussion and became thoughtful.

"I think we still have to go in." Lu Yuning saw that everyone had almost finished their discussion and then spoke out his thoughts.

"But there are still many ordinary spiders that have not been eliminated," Zhang Xinyue was a little worried.

Lu Yuning nodded: "Yes, so we must take precautions, but we still have to go in."

"Want to collect spider silk?"

"That's right. This is a rare material. If we collect some, we might be able to use it to make towels or something like that. Moreover, the aluminum products consumed by the bombs also need to be recycled. This material is also vital to us." Lu Yuning said.

"But."

"The ability to explore bushes is something we must have in the future. Besides, our current capabilities are no longer comparable to what they were before, so of course we still need to be fully prepared," Lu Yuning continued.

As time goes by, plants will gradually occupy the living area, and it will be almost inevitable to move among plants.

Moreover, without human intervention, insects will reproduce faster and the insect population in plants will become increasingly dense.

In comparison, the small patch of grass in front of me is not worth mentioning.

These were what Lu Yuning was thinking, and he briefly explained them to everyone.

Lu Yuning had already said this, and although some people were still worried, no one raised any objections.

But in fact, Lu Yuning himself was also a little scared. If it was any other creature, it would be fine, but the main reason was that spiders were always a psychological barrier to him.

Since you have decided to go in and explore, you must prepare the necessary protection.

First, we need to confirm the personnel involved in the operation.

"No, I want to participate. This is what I'm capable of." "But..."

"Didn't you say that this is something we'll have to face sooner or later?"

Lu Yuning scratched his head and couldn't deny that this was indeed what he had just said.

The discussion on personnel naturally involves Zhang Xinyue's participation, mainly because her special abilities are highly suitable for investigation and exploration scenarios.

Although Lu Yuning and Zou Yunxin were opposed to it, she still insisted on participating.

Although Zhang Xinyue looks weak, she is actually quite opinionated and sometimes surprisingly stubborn.

However, her ability is indeed important to the exploration mission. In the end, Lu Yuning and Zou Yunxin could not persuade her and had to let her participate.

In this way, the operative personnel are easily identified, and it is still the same four-person team as before.

As for the exploration method, it is to make a pipeline and pass through it directly.

Then there is the issue of protection.

Given the spider's abilities, personal armor wouldn't actually be of much use, so Lu Yuning planned to create a large shield to directly lock all four of them inside.

By relying on the weight of four people and the weight of the shield, if we are really attacked, we don't have to worry about being abducted by the spider alone.

After going inside and confirming the situation, if necessary, you can make a temporary personal armor.

Weapons should also be prepared.

Because of the small pieces of aluminum slag, the problem of low power of long-range weapons was solved.

So Lu Yuning decided to make a portable crossbow, of course, this thing can only be used by Zou Yunxin himself.

Zou Yunxin was naturally very happy. He had been thinking about this thing for a long time. Finally, after listening to Lu Yuning's explanation of the power issue, he had to give up.

The design of the small crossbow is basically a smaller version of the ejection mechanism on the sniper platform, and all the structures are the same.

The only difference is the ammunition, which has been replaced by crossbows with arrows instead of bombs.

The main considerations are stability and recycling rate.

Although he really wanted to make some arrows with explosive effects, Lu Yuning finally gave up for the sake of his own safety.

This small crossbow has a limited shooting range, and if it explodes accidentally, the aluminum slag splashed out may harm innocent people.

The heated aluminum arrows were powerful enough.

However, you still need to prepare a few bombs. If absolutely necessary, this is the last life-saving weapon.

Some preparations need to be made before throwing, and the user is Wu Xiao.

When you really want to throw it, you can open the wooden shield first, and then use Wu Xiao's ability to throw the bomb out of the shield.

No matter how strong the wind and rain are outside, I will remain unmoved.

In addition to these two items, Lu Yuning also prepared some materials and threw them into Wu Xiao's space, which could be used to make shields or other facilities.

After everything was ready, the four of them walked to the front of the bushes with alert expressions.

Zhang Xinyue used her ability and nodded to the few people after a while.

Lu Yuning then approached the grass area and began to build a tubular passage.

The reason for not walking over is mainly because the ground in the grass area is very rugged. Unlike the familiar concrete road, it is almost impossible for the shrunken humans to move on the ground.

The four people had clear division of labor. Lu Yuning was responsible for making pipes, Zhang Xinyue was responsible for detecting surrounding creatures, and Zou Yunxin picked up a crossbow, ready to fight back at any time.

Of course, you should still avoid insects that can be avoided to avoid unnecessary consumption.

At the shelter, Zhang Qian brought Xu Lele and watched the four people gradually disappear in the grass area with worried looks on their faces.
