Doomsday: Humanity shrinks 100 times

Chapter 32 Spider Silk
After a fierce battle, Lu Yuning felt a little exhausted.

It’s not that I’m tired, it’s just that I’ve been in a state of mental tension, coupled with my fear of spiders.

The creature that Lu Yuning fears most is spiders.

Before he shrank, he was extremely afraid of this terrifying-looking insect.

Now I have the honor to see it from this perspective, which is really unforgettable.
It was just that at the critical moment just now, reason finally prevailed, giving him a chance to escape death.

He looked at the umbrella-shaped shield in his hand, thoughtfully.

In that moment of life and death just now, his mind was unprecedentedly focused, and his control over his supernatural powers seemed to have reached an unprecedented level.

The small shield in his hand instantly shattered and reorganized into the shape of an umbrella, which protected his entire body.

This opened up Lu Yuning's mind. It seemed that he should study the application of supernatural powers more when he had time.

Moreover, the control of superpowers seems to be related to mental attributes. At that moment just now, I obviously felt that my reaction was much faster, which seems to be a positive effect brought about by the improvement of superpowers!
Lu Yuning was just thinking about what had just happened when everyone gathered around him.

"It's okay, Yuning." Zou Yunxin sat over and patted Lu Yuning who was lying on the ground.

"It's okay, luckily you came in time." Lu Yuning said.

He sat up and felt nauseous again when he saw the spider in front of him that was almost as tall as him.

At this time, everyone felt relieved when they saw Lu Yuning was not injured, but they were still frightened.

"Logically speaking, spiders shouldn't be so aggressive, right? It actually chased me out..." Lu Yuning came to his senses and asked with some confusion.

"You mean it's a little abnormal?" Zhang Xinyue immediately understood what he meant.

"Well, this kind of spider is quite common. According to their habits, they seldom take the initiative to attack. Usually they weave webs and wait for prey. And if they are frightened, they will run away first. But this one obviously has a much stronger desire to attack." Lu Yuning recalled the experience just now.

"Could it be a mutant too?" There was some fear in Wu Xiao's eyes. It was obvious that the previous mutated mosquito had left a deep impression on him.

"Well... although this spider is very aggressive, it is probably not as abnormal as that mosquito. It obviously has no intelligence, and its speed and strength are normal. Otherwise, I might really have confessed." Lu Yuning shook his head.

"Maybe this one has just mutated?" Zhang Xinyue said casually, not quite sure.

Lu Yuning was slightly stunned.

This is possible. Xu Qi had told them the relevant knowledge about mutants before, and they had not encountered many of them before.

"It seems we need to hurry up and build the shelter," said Lu Yuning.

The four of them nodded, still feeling horrified as they looked at the spider corpse in front of them.

After all this, it was almost dark and the temporary shelter had not been set up yet. Lu Yuning had to forget about his previous experience and speed up the construction.

The others were looking at the grass in the distance nervously, fearing that something would jump out of the grass again.

Looking at the frightened looks of several people, Lu Yuning felt a little depressed and sighed softly.

He felt a little regretful. This place felt much more dangerous than the river bank. He couldn't help but worry that because of his own opinion, he would drag everyone into danger.

Zhang Xinyue, who was standing next to him, noticed his abnormality, looked at his expression, lowered her head and thought for a while.

"Yu Ning, have you ever thought about this? In fact, we will all experience these things sooner or later." Zhang Xinyue thought for a while and then spoke.

"Huh?" Lu Yuning was slightly stunned. Zhang Xinyue's sudden words caught him off guard.

He looked at Zhang Xinyue and saw that she was staring at him seriously. Recalling what she had just said, Lu Yuning finally understood.

"Oh, you mean our current situation?"

"Yeah," Zhang Xinyue nodded.

"I understand what you mean, but now I am the one making decisions most of the time, and I am also worried about whether my choices are right or not." Lu Yuning said frankly.

"...Trust is the foundation of this team. If a team works in different directions, it will ultimately be unable to move forward. As a decision maker, you must believe in yourself... and also believe in us." Lu Yuning was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what she meant.

What Zhang Xinyue said is actually very true. An excellent team decision maker not only needs to have decisiveness, but more importantly, trust in the overall capabilities of the team.

If you carry the thoughts of every team member on your shoulders, it will be difficult to firmly agree with your own decision. You will be the first to waver, let alone others.

Lu Yuning suddenly felt a little clear-headed, and the feeling of blockage in her heart disappeared.

"Thank you, Xinyue." Lu Yuning expressed her sincere gratitude.

"You're welcome. You've done the most since the apocalypse. It would be great if I could help you." Zhang Xinyue smiled and then said seriously.

Lu Yuning nodded and said nothing more.

After Zhang Xinyue's persuasion, Lu Yuning felt much more relaxed and cheered up to continue building the temporary shelter.

This was basically a familiar process, but after the spider attack, for safety reasons, Lu Yuning replaced all the grass and leaf materials with plant roots.

When the shelter was almost ready, Zou Yunxin was heard shouting.

"Yu Ning, we found that spider..." Zou Yunxin shouted loudly.

Lu Yuning only vaguely heard a spider and was startled, so he quickly got out of the shelter.

"Where?! There's another spider?!" Lu Yuning stuck his head out and looked around.

"No, it's the dead one from before. We found something and Xinyue thought it might be useful, so she asked me to ask you to go and take a look," said Zou Yunxin.

Lu Yuning breathed a sigh of relief, then ran to the spider's corpse with Zou Yunxin.

"Yu Ning, look, this spider silk." Zhang Xinyue pointed to the palm of her hand.

Lu Yuning looked for a long time before she found a transparent spider silk on her hand.

"Where did you get this...?"

"In its belly," Zhang Xinyue pointed to the spider's abdomen.

Lu Yuning looked at her with a strange expression.

Zhang Xinyue felt a little strange when he looked at her, so she asked, "What's wrong?"

"Aren't you afraid of spiders?" Lu Yuning asked.

"It's okay. They're all dead, so I'm not that scared."

Lu Yuning looked at the others, and surprisingly, they all looked calm. It seemed that he was the only one who was extremely sensitive to this thing?
He looked in the direction of Zhang Xinyue's gaze.

A piece of spider silk was slightly exposed on the spider's abdomen. Zhang Xinyue should have pulled out this piece of spider silk from here.

"Is this thing useful?" Lu Yuning knew almost nothing about spiders.

"It has the properties of inhibiting bacteria and preventing fungal infections, and it can also be used to make clothes and even bulletproof vests! In fact, it has many uses." Zhang Xinyue explained.

"Textile material?"

"Um"

"That's impressive...but it seems a little too little."

"That's true, but I think there should be a lot of spiders around here. Maybe we can collect more in the future?" Zhang Xinyue said seriously.

Lu Yuning was petrified instantly.

Are you still looking for trouble with this thing? Spare me, Lu Yuning smiled bitterly in his heart.
