Doomsday: Humanity shrinks 100 times

Chapter 26 The Fifth Member

Everyone in the shelter was shocked beyond words by Wu Xiao's mysterious trick.

After a while the crowd began to stir.

“They have water!”

"Where did he get this water? Could it be that his ability can create water?"

"Hurry up and ask him to get some for us. We won't be able to use this water for a few days."

"I'm suddenly very thirsty."

……

The crowd said anything.

Looking at the people with glowing eyes, Wu Xiao quickly collected the water again, and the container in his hand disappeared out of thin air, shocking everyone.

"What do you think? What else is there to say? Apologize to me!" Zou Yunxin shouted proudly to everyone.

Ma Zhiqiang's face was full of uncertainty at this time. He didn't expect that those people could really make water. He originally thought that he had caught them, but he didn't expect that it would be difficult to resolve the situation now.

"Who told you not to tell us? Don't blame us. Besides, you drank secretly by yourselves. Is that okay?"

"Why don't you share the water you have? We all share the water."

"That's right, why are you so selfish? Can't you think more about the future of mankind?"

Lu Yuning was speechless. He finally saw what it meant to be unreasonable. In his mind, he had completely blocked these people.

"I'm so sorry, everyone. The amount of water I can produce each day is limited, barely enough for us to drink. Please find a way on your own."

"Oh, by the way, Sister Zhang Qian, you have nowhere to go now, so why not join us? We don't have anything else here, but we have enough drinking water." Wu Xiao said in a mean way.

Lu Yuning felt a little amused. This guy really knew how to speak in any way that would make people angry.

First he said there was not enough water, and then he told Zhang Qian that the water was too much to drink. This was inconsistent and anyone could hear the problem. It was clearly saying that he had water but he would not give it to us.

The people on the opposite side finally came to their senses and stared at him blankly for a while.

Their eyes gradually changed from dull to fiery, and the crowd gradually became agitated. If Wu Xiao had not stored the water into the space, these people would have rushed up to grab it.

"Little brother, we are all in the same shelter now. We should unite to increase our chances of survival."

"Just kidding, big brother, we should not hold the shelter back. It was you who just said we were a burden, and what about this auntie and this handsome guy?" Wu Xiao said, then stretched out his hand and pointed at a few people in the crowd who had cursed the most fiercely.

Suddenly, they became the target of public criticism. Everyone looked at them with unfriendly expressions, and they were too ashamed to speak.

Zhang Qian has been pulled over by Zhang Xinyue. The girl looks a little shy.

Everyone looked at her with some envy, and regretted not standing up and speaking up just now. After all, everyone wanted to meet a person with superpowers who could generate drinking water in the doomsday.

Having said that, no one dared to say anything anymore. After all, they still had some strength left and were not at the end of their rope, otherwise Lu Yuning would not have let Wu Xiao do this.

It was now completely dark, and the crowd dispersed and went back to their homes. The farce was finally over.

Ma Zhiqiang looked gloomy and stared at everyone for a while, not knowing what he was thinking. Then he left silently, always keeping a distance from Lu Yuning.

"I'm sorry everyone, I really didn't expect it to be like this." Xu Qi said with his head down apologetically.

"Qiqi, there's no need to apologize. This has nothing to do with you." Zhang Xinyue pulled her hand.

"Sister Xu Qi, it seems that there are no good people in your shelter. I don't understand why you still want to serve them?" Wu Xiao asked.

Xu Qi shook his head and said, "I know there are a few people who are quite violent, but most of the people in the shelter are kind. It's just that they just want to survive and don't want to offend others, so they don't dare to stand out."

She paused and continued, "The last time we encountered mutants, someone sacrificed themselves to protect Lele, so no matter what, I still want to take care of the people here to the best of my ability."

Lu Yuning sighed without saying anything, and finally understood a little.

"I won't bother you today. Oh, by the way, Xiao Jin has already helped to process the walnuts. I'll give you some." Xu Qi pointed to a pile of processed walnut pieces on the side.

"There are walnuts to eat!" Zou Yunxin said happily.

The four of them were extremely happy. They had been eating grapes for five days since the end of the world, which was really disgusting. It was a rare opportunity to change the taste.

Zhang Qian also joined the team at the enthusiastic invitation of several people. The one who was most happy about the new member was Zhang Xinyue. The two of them were like little sisters who hadn't seen each other for a long time. They quickly started chatting and chatting, pointing and commenting to Lu Yuning and the other two from time to time.

It seemed that she was a little bored of dealing with a few men all day long. She was naturally very happy that a female member had finally joined the team, and the gender ratio of the team became much more balanced.

Looking at the harmonious scene before her, Xu Qi seemed a little embarrassed and said, "Tomorrow."

Lu Yuning knew what she wanted to say, the matter of the rat's nest was not yet settled.

However, after today's conflict, Lu Yuning was a little hesitant. He originally wanted to leave tomorrow, but looking at Xu Qi, he felt a little reluctant.

"Brother Chen, if you can help take care of our people, I can consider it." Lu Yuning finally did not refuse.

"Okay, then I'll go discuss it with Brother Chen."

The next morning, Xu Qi and Chen Hong appeared at the door of their shelter on time.

Chen Hong nodded towards Lu Yuning: "Don't worry, with me here, even Ma Zhiqiang wouldn't dare to come over."

"Thank you, Brother Chen." Lu Yuning nodded.

With Chen Hong around, Lu Yuning finally felt relieved. He knew how capable Chen Hong was.

Lu Yuning gave some instructions before leaving with Xu Qi.

With the experience from last time, Lu Yuning quickly finished the storage room today, and the overall expansion was basically completed.

All that's left is to use the dug-out sawdust as material to fill the hole. This will make it look more hidden and warmer.

The chipmunk family was very satisfied, and their relationship with Lu Yuning was getting better and better.

This rat's nest gave Lu Yuning a clue: maybe he could build a home in a tree? The more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

I can't wait to go back and discuss it with a few people, but there is a problem. There are no such sturdy trees near the original riverbank shelter, so it is difficult to build.

Maybe you can consider moving to this area. The river runs from north to south and also flows through here, but there is no road leading down to the river here, and there are more plants.

The construction of the rat's nest has been completed. Lu Yuning touched the two baby squirrels as a farewell.

I don’t know if they will still remember me after this, but if I can move here, I can be their neighbors.

Overall, this trip was worthwhile. First, I established a good relationship with the chipmunks, and second, I found a candidate site for the new shelter.

"Xiao Jin should be able to go farther now." Xu Qi touched the chipmunk's head and said to Lu Yuning.

"why?"

"My abilities are based on the trust of intelligent creatures. The more they trust me, the more they will help us, like leaving their nests and taking me to explore further afield."

"What was the range of your exploration before?"

"The area around the rat's nest has a radius of about 200 meters."

"Huh? Does that mean you haven't been to the grapevine before?"

"Grapes? There are grapes around here?!" Xu Qi's eyes lit up.

Lu Yuning fell into deep thought. He had actually forgotten about this matter. At first he thought that the grapes were picked by Xu Qi, but now it seems that was not the case.

That means that in addition to him and Xu Qi's group, there are other people, or other forces.

But this is not surprising. The park has a large area and a nice environment. Many people like to camp and run here. Plus, it was the weekend, so there should be quite a few people.

Coming back to his senses, he looked at Xu Qi's shining eyes and smiled, saying to her, "It's still early, why don't you go pick some today?"

"Okay, okay." Xu Qi nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

With the chipmunk around, a distance of two or three hundred meters would not even take 10 minutes. Lu Yuning recalled that it took the four of them almost three hours to get here, and tears streamed down her face.

With Xu Qi, it is so convenient to move around, and there is no need to worry about being attacked by insects.

Soon the two of them came under the grape tree.

Lu Yuning confirmed his thoughts again. There were other people nearby, because more than half of the bunch of grapes hanging in the air were gone!
