Doomsday: Humanity shrinks 100 times

Chapter 33: Aboriginals in the Trash Can
Zhang Xinyue pulled out all the spider silk. Although the amount was not much, it could not be wasted.

Everyone discussed for a while about the speculation about the use of spider silk.

Not to mention medical supplies such as bandages, there is currently a rather embarrassing problem.

Everyone had no more clothes to change into.

When they shrank, the clothes they carried shrank with them.

But everyone only has this set, so if you want to change it, you can only find a way to make a new one.

Then materials are necessary, and if suitable textile materials cannot be found, spider silk seems to be a good choice.

Both the toughness and softness meet the requirements, but the quantity required is a bit too much.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuning had to admit that this thing was quite precious. It seemed that he might have to deal with this horrible creature often in the future.

……

The temporary shelter was finally built, and the few of them packed up and went in.

The day was quite fulfilling, and he even had a close call with death. Lu Yuning lay on the straw mat, thinking about today's experiences, and fell asleep amid the noise of discussions.

The next day, Lu Yuning got up early again after going to bed. He had become accustomed to this lifestyle of going to bed early and getting up early.

He opened the curtain of the shelter, walked out carefully, and stretched himself in the square.

Yesterday was a close call, but today I feel tired and my whole body is a little sore.

He was doing radio gymnastics seriously when Xu Qi came over riding a chipmunk and greeted him from a distance.

Lu Yuning was not surprised. The two of them had already agreed that Xu Qi would come over every day to see if there were any needs here.

She first walked around the camphor tree to see the progress at the tree hole, and then she saw the spider lying on the ground, with a look of fear on her face.

"Did you kill this spider? Are you okay?" Xu Qi said to Lu Yuning, looking worried, wondering if there were any casualties.

"Well, it almost cost me my life yesterday." Lu Yuning briefly recounted yesterday's experience.

Xu Qi listened to his nonchalant narration with a nervous expression. Only after hearing the end did he finally breathe a sigh of relief and patted his chest.

"Take me and Lao Wu to the trash can today. We need to get some materials and make some drinking water." Lu Yuning talked about today's schedule.

"Oh, then I'll send you there first, get some food, and then pick you up and come back together. By the way, I'll see how you did it." Xu Qi nodded and made a simple itinerary arrangement.

"Okay, I'll go call Old Wu."

Lu Yuning ran back and woke up Wu Xiao who was still sleeping. He still had to join in the scavenging. His space was now big enough to hold a lot of materials, which of course needed Lu Yuning to crush in advance.

"Good morning, Sister Xu Qi." Wu Xiao said as he yawned. Seeing Xu Qi, he greeted her. It seemed that he knew she would come.

After some pleasantries, the three of them set off without delay.

The purpose of this trip is simple, mainly to collect plastics.

There are two uses.

First, when building a tree hole shelter, some windows need to be opened to ensure sufficient light, and this can only be done with plastic.

Lu Yuning plans to make the remaining plastic into a water filter and improve it at the same time, hoping it will be able to filter continuously.

In fact, Lu Yuning and Zhang Xinyue discussed the issue of water purification again.

The main reason was that Lu Yuning had an idea (actually it was a book friend's idea), which was to extract pure water through distillation.

However, after the two discussed it, they finally rejected it.

There are two main issues to consider.

First, the efficiency is somewhat low.

The main reason is that the cooling efficiency is low, which will lead to water vapor loss, and the amount of water left after distillation may be very small.

The second is to consider the filtration of domestic water in the future.

Although the river water looks relatively clear, it actually contains a lot of impurities. At least from their current perspective, they can see a lot of mud and debris, so it is better to filter the water before use for domestic use.

Anyway, the step of filtering water still has to be done. ...

Xu Qi took Lu Yuning and Wu Xiao, and the three of them and the rat set off.

She dropped them off at the trash can at the fork in the road, and went to collect food with the chipmunk.

"Boss, what materials do we need?" Wu Xiao asked curiously.

"It's mainly plastic. This thing has many uses." Lu Yuning said.

"Can it be made into windows?" Wu Xiao thought about it and remembered that he seemed to have had this idea before.

Lu Yuning nodded and said, "I looked inside the trunk. It's a bit damp. I think it would be uncomfortable to live in. So we need to ensure light transmission and do some renovations."

"This is just one use. Cups, filters, and the like can all be made of plastic. It's mainly because of its good antioxidant properties. In short, the more of this stuff, the better."

After Lu Yuning finished speaking, he placed the ladder he had made on the trash can. A small hole was clearly visible on the top, which was the one he made last time.

His current abilities are no longer comparable to what they were before. Compared to the first time, it is much faster to deal with the trash can shell now.

In a short while, the original small hole was enlarged more than ten times, and he could barely get in.

He looked into the trash can. It was a little dark inside, but he could vaguely see a few empty plastic bottles and some cans.

There was also a sour smell coming out. Lu Yuning frowned, thinking that some unethical tourist had thrown the leftover food into the recyclable trash bin.

Lu Yuning hesitated for a moment and expanded the entrance a little more so that there would be no obstruction to entering and exiting. If there was any special situation inside, they would not be stuck at the entrance in a panic.

Wu Xiao also climbed up the ladder and looked into the trash can curiously.

Lu Yuning went in first, followed closely by Wu Xiao.

After entering the trash can, Lu Yuning's vision gradually became clear.

At this moment, he seemed to have walked into an abyss. He could faintly see light shining in from above his head, but it made the place seem even darker and deeper.

There are some "ruins" all around, which are actually a pile of waste.

Lu Yuning silently admired the scenery here. Although it was in a garbage dump, it was still a bit shocking to look at.

Gradually he came to his senses and looked at the pile of junk in front of him with some delight. There weren't many things in it, but most of them could be used.

There were four or five mineral water bottles and two cans, similar to what they had found on the roadside before.

He looked at the piles of garbage in front of him and felt inexplicably satisfied.

With these materials, you can unlock a lot of things.

Just when he was feeling happy, Wu Xiao next to him gently poked him.

Lu Yuning turned around and looked at him with some confusion.

But she found that Wu Xiao had a strange expression on his face and his legs were trembling. Lu Yuning realized something instantly and moved her gaze along his line of sight.

Suddenly my head felt numb.

On the wall of the trash can a little further away, there was a pile of black things. Upon closer inspection, they were actually cockroaches, which looked only slightly smaller than them.

It's so densely packed that it looks a bit creepy.

The two men tiptoed back to where they came in, fearing to alarm the group of natives.

After exiting the cave, the two men immediately rushed out like the wind.

Lu Yuning stood on the ground, shivering all over, looking at the hole with lingering fear.

No need to think about it, these cockroaches are basically attracted by the food residue inside.

Lu Yuning silently cursed those who littered in her heart.

Wu Xiao Wu Xiao shrank his neck and kept slapping his body, obviously he was also very scared.

"This is troublesome," Lu Yuning said with a headache.

　Thanks to several big guys for their monthly tickets and rewards!
