Doomsday: Humanity shrinks 100 times

Chapter 27 Moving
Lu Yuning looked around cautiously. He always felt that there were eyes staring at him nearby.

He had to be cautious, especially after seeing the people in the pavilion shelter. He felt more and more that in the doomsday, human beings would become more and more desperate in order to survive.

Of course, there are people like Xu Qi and Zhang Qian, but no matter what, we still have to be careful.

Lu Yuning came back to his senses and looked at the grapes in front of him.

The pipe channel he had built before was no longer usable, but with the chipmunk around, it wouldn't be such a hassle.

The two decided to go in together. The fruit was hanging in the air, and it would be difficult for the chipmunk to pick it whole, so Lu Yuning's help was still needed.

Lu Yuning looked at the dense grass and was still a little afraid, but he was overthinking it.

The chipmunk carried the two people and climbed up the tree from the roadside in almost a breath.

Ever since starting working with Xu Qi, Lu Yuning almost forgot the feeling of being unable to move forward.

Two huge grapes fell on the grass pile under the tree thanks to Lu Yuning's special ability.

"How do I get it back?" Xu Qi asked.

Lu Yuning was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Then how do you usually get things?"

"For things like walnuts, I can just put them directly into Xiaojin's mouth. But for berries and the like, I have to find a way myself, like finding a piece of grass leaf to tie them up and then putting them into its mouth." Xu Qi patted the chipmunk and replied.

".Put it in your mouth." Lu Yuning was embarrassed.

But it is understandable. After all, there is no one in the shelter with special abilities like Lu Yuning, so many things have to be compromised. After all, it is the end of the world, so it is good enough to be alive.

No one cares about hygiene anymore. As long as they don't get sick, it's fine. There aren't even any toilets in the shelters. They just find somewhere a little further away to relieve themselves. As a result, the living areas are poorly ventilated, and I guess the smell isn't very pleasant either...

"Let me make something to hold it together..." Lu Yuning felt a little sympathetic towards Xu Qi.

Then he quickly made a small basket out of grass leaves, which he knew how to do. There was a rope extending from the top that could be hung around the squirrel's neck.

Under Xu Qi's command, the chipmunk threw all the grapes into the box and then hung it around its neck, looking like a big bell.

"Your special ability is really useful." Xu Qi praised.

"I'll make a set of equipment for it when I have time, so that you can ride it more conveniently and also carry some things in it." Lu Yuning thought about it.

"Really? Thank you then. That's quite thoughtful!" Xu Qi was a little happy and did not forget to tease him.

Lu Yuning scratched his head, not knowing what to say.

The chirping of insects nearby was getting closer, so the two of them didn't dare to continue chatting and directed the chipmunk to run back to the road.

"Can we go a little further over there, about 50 meters?" Lu Yuning pointed in the direction of the previous riverside camp and said.

"What's over there?"

"Our previous camp."

"Oh, that should be fine. Let's go." Xu Qi touched the chipmunk's head, as if to comfort it.

One minute later.

Lu Yuning looked at the messy shelter in front of him and fell into deep thought.

The can that was previously used as a residence is gone!
The entire camp was dismantled, and some of the utensils, furniture and drying racks that had been set up were either taken away or destroyed.

There are definitely people nearby, and there should be quite a few of them. The can is quite heavy and it would take at least two or three people to push it.

These people came with bad intentions, otherwise there would be no need to mess up the camp like this, it's like a bandit invasion.

Lu Yuning's gaze shifted, then suddenly fixed on the spot where the drying rack had once been, lying the corpses of several large black ants. Their heads had been smashed in, suggesting this group of ants possessed considerable fighting prowess. Lu Yuning felt a chill in his heart.

It seems that I can't stay here anymore, I have to move.

He glanced around the camp again, and suddenly his face lit up with joy.

He quickly jumped off his mount, walked to the center of the camp, and picked up a shiny piece of something. It was the aluminum sheet that he had used to boil water.

Apart from the can building, the most valuable thing in the entire camp is this small piece of aluminum. He is not able to process metal materials yet, so it is difficult to make one of the same size.

He picked up the aluminum sheet, and then the two of them quickly left.

……

"These people seem to have bad intentions." Xu Qi pondered.

"Well, it's not very safe here on the river bank." Lu Yuning nodded.

"Looks like I need to make some preparations for the shelter as well. But I still want to ask, do you want to join? I think the shelter will be greatly improved with you here."

Lu Yuning shook her head: "The shelter is not suitable for us. Besides, with the situation like this, it's basically impossible for us to live together."

"Hey, even if you don't tell me, I know that you can't stay here on the riverbank any longer. What are your plans for the next step?"

"I do have an idea, but I still need to discuss it with them. I want to go to the square."

"Square? You mean Xiao Jin's place? But there shouldn't be many insects over there?" Xu Qi was a little surprised.

"That's what I thought at first, but insects are something humans will have to deal with sooner or later. Larger mammals and birds, like rats, are more difficult to deal with, and..."

Lu Yuning thought for a moment and continued, "When I was helping the chipmunks build their nests, I thought of a problem: the weather."

"weather?"

"Well, it's only the beginning of September. Although the rainy season has passed, it still rains occasionally. Open-air shelters are difficult to withstand. It hasn't rained in the past few days. I can only say that I'm lucky."

"Well, fortunately we don't have this problem there, but I haven't thought about it before. It's a headache just running around for food every day." Xu Qi said a little frustrated.

"Actually, there's no need to be so tired. I actually want you to join us." Lu Yuning said seriously.

Xu Qi paused, looked at him, then shook her head and said, "I can't just abandon them."

Lu Yuning actually already knew the answer in her heart, but she still couldn't help but ask.

Xu Qi's ability is crucial to them. With a creature of the chipmunk's size around, many things become much easier.

"So we have to say goodbye tomorrow?" Xu Qi said a little depressed.

Lu Yuning didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "That's too much, it's only about 200 meters away from you. It won't take long to walk there, not to mention Xiao Jin is here with you."

"We'll be collaborating frequently in the future, and building our new home will likely require your help. In exchange, we can help you solve your water problem."

Lu Yuning thought for a long time and finally gave his own opinion.

Although he really didn't want to take care of the shelter, he couldn't let Xu Qi help so much for nothing.

Moreover, Zou Yunxin's life was saved from the brink of death by her sisters, so it was only right and proper for them to help her.

"Really?!" Xu Qi's eyes were full of surprise. After all, the water problem was something they had to face.

Lu Yuning nodded and said nothing more.
