Doomsday: Humanity shrinks 100 times

Chapter 20 Precious Water Resources (Please Read)

Lu Yuning sighed. He really didn't expect it to develop to this point.

He put Zou Yunxin down and walked out quickly. "Thank you, Brother Hong, but don't bother us. We don't plan to join the shelter. We just want to stay here for two days. We will take care of food and water ourselves and won't waste your resources."

Lu Yuning had thought about going out to find a place farther away from this group of people, but Zou Yunxin was unable to move now and she was not familiar with the terrain nearby, so it was better to be cautious.

The crowd was obviously stunned after hearing Lu Yuning's words. They thought that after seeing Xu Qi's ability, they would join in without hesitation, but they didn't expect that he had no such idea at all.

"Haha, you said it yourself. As long as you don't take the supplies from the shelter, I have no objection. Of course, I won't be responsible for your safety." Ma Zhiqiang said.

"Yu Ning, don't worry about them. With Brother Chen and I here, no one dares to do anything." Xu Qi thought Lu Yuning was just talking in anger and hurriedly tried to persuade her.

"Are you sure, little brother? It's at least safer in this shelter. If it's just because of this guy named Ma, you don't have to worry." Chen Hong said in a deep voice.

Lu Yuning shook his head and said, "I appreciate your kindness, but it's not just a rant. We still have some means of survival. Just lend us some materials."

Xu Qi's eyes moved slightly. She knew that Lu Yuning and the other three all had special abilities, so she also realized that Lu Yuning was not acting on impulse.

She sighed and looked at the crowd in the shelter with a slightly angry look.

These people regarded those resources as treasures, not realizing that they were short-sighted. If they knew that these four people all had special abilities, I wonder if they would regret it.

But Xu Qi didn't tell anyone about this.

Lu Yuning was unwilling to say it herself, naturally because she didn't want others to know. She still understood the ways of the world, and people probably didn't like this shelter.

"Okay, then you can watch it for yourselves. If you have anything to say, you can tell me and Brother Chen." Xu Qi sighed, feeling inexplicably bored.

Seeing Xu Qi's behavior, Chen Hong looked thoughtful. He looked at Lu Yuning deeply for a few times and said nothing more.

"Well, thank you Xu Qi, but I do have something to trouble you with." Lu Yuning said bluntly.

Ma Zhiqiang obviously heard what he said and said with a look of disdain: "Haha~ You're still stubborn."

Lu Yuning felt inexplicably annoyed and glanced at him.

This guy really has a weird personality. It seems that just because Xu Qi is a little close to him, he always speaks in a targeted manner.

Anger flashed across his face, but when he thought of Zou Yunxin who was still recovering from a serious injury, he suppressed his anger.

Moreover, the other party obviously has superpowers. It doesn’t matter to me, but I have to consider the safety of my teammates.

"Thank you for your concern. It's just a small matter. I won't bother Xu Qi all the time." Lu Yuning calmed down and said in a cold tone.

"Haha, that's better." Ma Zhiqiang said and walked away.

When the people in the shelter heard that their resources would not be taken up, they felt relieved and dispersed, no longer paying any attention to them.

"Huh~ I almost couldn't help but beat him up just now." Wu Xiao let out a long breath and said angrily.

"Fortunately, you didn't. That guy named Ma is quite powerful. Don't look at him like that. He is actually the main attacking force of our shelter." Chen Hong patted Wu Xiao's shoulder and said.

Wu Xiao was stunned for a moment, then said indignantly, "God is really blind."

Chen Hong laughed, then said, "Let's do this for now. I still have some things to do. You can always come to me if you need help."

"Okay, thank you Brother Chen." Lu Yuning nodded in gratitude.

Chen Hong waved his hand and turned to walk into the shelter.

"I'm so sorry, it was so unpleasant," Xu Qi said apologetically. "Well, you saved Old Zou's life, and we can't thank you enough. Besides, in this apocalypse, everyone is out for themselves, so we can understand that."

"Well, the main reason is that water resources are so scarce right now, so they are so hostile."

"Are you talking about these?" Lu Yuning pointed to the unfinished bottle of water in the middle of the shelter.

"Well, some of our people drank water from the river before, and they got sick and died the next day. The bacteria in the water pose a greater threat to humans than we thought."

Lu Yuning and the other three looked at each other, and then felt relieved. It turned out that drinking water directly from the river was not an option. Lu Yuning had originally had this idea before.

Led by Xu Qi, the four of them quickly entered the shelter.

Lu Yuning rejected Xu Qi's arrangement and did not move into the residential area.

Instead, he found a place away from the crowd and settled down temporarily.

"Oh, by the way, you said before that you wanted to ask me for help. Just tell me if you have any questions." Xu Qi suddenly thought of the previous conversation.

"I mainly want you to take me to the trash can. I still want to get some materials and see if I can find some food. We don't have much food stored."

"Oh, no problem, but don't worry about the food, I will collect it for you." Xu Qi agreed.

Lu Yuning looked at Xu Qi seriously and felt a little grateful. This girl had been helping them from the beginning, and even had some unpleasantness with the people in the shelter because of them.

And it seems that she is helping to take care of the people in the shelter.

In a situation where everyone is in danger, she can spare no effort to help others. She is truly kind-hearted. Lu Yuning knows that she cannot do that.

Xu Qi saw Lu Yuning staring at her intently, and was a little confused. She stretched out her hand and waved it in front of his eyes: "What's wrong? Do you suddenly realize that I'm a beauty?"

"Sister is a beauty and many people are chasing after her." Xu Lele stuck his little head out from behind her and looked at Lu Yuning seriously.

"She is indeed a beauty, and most importantly, she has a kind heart." Lu Yuning squatted down and touched Xu Lele's head.

Xu Qi smiled, then thought of something and said to him, "Who said I'm kind-hearted? Don't forget that you promised me to help you with something."

"Oh, alright."

"Aren't you curious about what it is? Aren't you afraid that I'll trick you?"

"What on earth is that?"

"I won't tell you yet."

"."

Xu Qi settled everyone down, made an appointment with Lu Yuning for the departure time tomorrow, and left first.

Lu Yuning actually had two main purposes for living in this shelter.

First, the safety factor is slightly higher. There are not many plants nearby and the environment is also good.

The other one actually went for the pile of debris in the shelter.
There were several kinds of materials in the junk, such as toilet paper and some plastic products, which he certainly couldn't miss.

Although I said I wouldn’t take up their resources, it wouldn’t matter if I used a little bit of garbage, Lu Yuning thought silently.
