Doomsday: Humanity shrinks 100 times

Chapter 105 Danger
With Zhang Xinyue's special ability, Lu Yuning no longer has to worry about hidden insects in a small area, and the pipeline laying work becomes much easier.

Previously, someone was needed to constantly transport materials to the grape vines, mainly because of concerns that there might be hidden creatures outside the pipeline.

Now you can collect materials while laying the foundation.

Therefore, the travel speed has increased a lot. In addition, Lu Yuning's ability has become much stronger now, so he no longer needs to overdraw his supernatural powers multiple times to lay a distance of 5 meters.

Zou Yunxin continued to aim and test-shoot the crossbow on the way.

Although he ranked last among the others in terms of knowledge, he was far ahead of them in terms of behaviors related to physical talent.

So it didn't take long before he gradually found the key points of shooting, and finally, within the range of sight, he could hit the target almost every time, if not 100% of the time.

The few shots that went off target were actually more due to the stability of the arrow.

Lu Yuning also discovered this problem and made some modifications to the arrow, adding feathers to the tail end.

Sure enough, the final effect was better than expected.

"Brother Zou is awesome!"

After several test shots were accurate, Wu Xiao expressed his admiration.

Zou Yunxin puffed out his chest with some pride: "Well, it's just okay. I used to be in the shooting team. When it comes to sports, I know a little bit about everything."

"Can I try it?" Wu Xiao looked expectant.

"You? You can't use this weapon."

"You help me recharge, I will play and learn."

Zou Yunxin nodded: "Okay"

The two of them started studying shooting techniques on their own.

But in the end Wu Xiao had to admit that Zou Yunxin's talent in shooting was almost terrifying.

This crossbow arrow really became like a toy in Wu Xiao's hands, and it couldn't hit anything it pointed at.

An hour later, everyone finally arrived at the spider's nest area.

The area around here is centered on the Spider's Nest, and the weeds are sparse, making it look a bit empty, as if there were some buildings there before that were later removed.

Perhaps it is for this reason that it has become a settlement for spiders.

When Lu Yuning looked up, he could see the dense spider webs above his head. On the open ground, there was a pile of curled-up spider corpses. It was a bit scary to look at. At least Lu Yuning shuddered for no reason.

At this point, Zhang Xinyue also issued the first crisis warning.

"Be careful, there is a spider in front of you on the right, about one meter away." Zhang Xinyue reminded softly.

Then she pointed.

"How to do?"

Everyone looked at Lu Yuning.

He looked in the direction of Zhang Xinyue's finger.

You can clearly see a huge stone, like a small hill.

I guess the spider is hiding behind the rock.

"Have you explored this area?"

"Well, the ones in front are probably all dead. There are no other living spiders within at least two meters."

"Can you tell whether it's alive or not?" Lu Yuning was a little surprised.

"There's no difference in appearance, but you can still tell them apart by looking at their morphology. Dead spiders are generally curled up, while living spiders have their limbs slightly spread out."

Lu Yuning nodded, feeling relieved. Then, as if she had made up her mind, she said, "Let's get rid of this one and see how it reacts. That way, we'll have a plan for other situations."

The three of them paused, then nodded nervously.

Zhang Xinyue explored for a while and finally confirmed that the surviving spider was behind the huge rock.

Lu Yuning thought about it and decided to take a road and go around from the side for safety reasons.

Then see if you can observe it in the field of vision, and then try to let Zou Yunxin snipe it from a distance, so that you can also test the power of the weapon.

The four of them were cautious and slowly moved around to the right side of the stone.

A few minutes later.

Lu Yuning's pupils shrank as she spotted the black spider lying on the bottom of the stone from a distance. The spider lay quietly on the ground without moving, probably because it didn't notice the people.

Spiders have a relatively short visual range. Although there are some differences among different species, it generally does not exceed 1 meter.

At this time, the distance between everyone and it was obviously more than 1 meter.

Lu Yuning was a little nervous, but then he put up the shield and felt a lot more at ease.

"Old Zou, I leave it to you."

Lu Yuning pointed in the direction of the spider, and then made a shooting hole in the shield.

Zou Yunxin understood, walked forward, pulled out an arrow with an aluminum arrowhead from the quiver behind him, and nervously installed it into the shooting slot of the crossbow.

He first charged the crossbow, aimed at the spider through the shooting hole of the shield for a while, and then concentrated and held his breath.

The aluminum arrowhead instantly became hot, and the plastic shield around it even looked slightly burnt.

Just as Lu Yuning was about to remind him, Zou Yunxin pressed the brake device directly, and the crossbow flew out with a hot arrow.

Before anyone could react, the arrow accurately hit the spider lying on the ground, seemingly melting its skin and piercing into its body.

Then it was seen thrashing around on the ground like crazy for a while, and then its body curled up and lay motionless on the ground.

The three of them were a little stunned.

First, I didn’t expect Zou Yunxin’s shooting accuracy to be so high. Second, the power of this crossbow arrow was better than expected. It could actually pierce directly into the spider’s body.

You should know that the kinetic energy generated by the crossbow arrow itself is not large, and the damage caused by shooting at a living creature is almost negligible.

The arrow was able to penetrate the spider's body directly, which was obviously due to the aluminum arrowhead.

"Awesome"

Wu Xiao didn't know how to describe his feelings at the moment, and finally could only give his own evaluation in a simple and rough way.

Lu Yuning looked at Zou Yunxin with a burning gaze. This weapon was simply tailor-made for Zou Yunxin.

With this weapon and Zou Yun's new shooting ability, their combat capability increased several times.

It seems that I need to modify this portable crossbow after I go back, Lu Yuning thought to himself.

"Hehe" Looking at everyone's surprised eyes, Zou Yunxin felt really proud.

The first spider they encountered was easily dealt with, and the morale of the four was high.

However, Lu Yuning's original intention was to see how the spider would react when it was awakened, whether it would still be full of attacking desire or run away in fear.

This helps them with their next steps.

However, it is a good thing that Zou Yunxin was able to come in and solve it directly. At worst, he can just deal with the spiders he encounters in the future in the same way.

As long as there are no mutants, it will be difficult for these spiders to hurt Lu Yuning and the others who can open the shield.

The four of them composed themselves and prepared to continue their action.

After hesitating for a while, Lu Yuning decided to walk over to the spider and retrieve the arrow he had shot.

Just as he was about to turn around and put away his shield to return to the pipe, he found that Zhang Xinyue suddenly looked terrified.

"Danger"

Zhang Xinyue only had time to give a reminder.

Lu Yuning reacted when he saw her face change drastically.

After hearing her reminder, without thinking, another layer of protective shield was put on the few people.

Then a horrifying scene appeared in front of them. A giant spider with a legspan of at least 5 centimeters slammed heavily on the outer shield from top to bottom.

The four of them had their hair standing on end, their hands and feet were cold, and their bodies were shaking unconsciously.

The huge spider in front of me, with a slightly reddish body, is obviously a mutant.

"How could this be?" Zhang Xinyue's face turned pale.

She had clearly detected that the mutant that was blown into two pieces by the bomb was still lying near the cave, but another one appeared in front of her, and it looked even bigger than the previous one.

"The second one." Lu Yuning took a deep breath and slowly stated the only possibility.

The situation took a turn for the worse and the four were in danger.
