Doomsday: Humanity shrinks 100 times

Chapter 5 New Companion

The three of them hurried back, as there seemed to be no food to eat here.

His stomach started to growl, and Lu Yuning began to worry. What should he eat in this wilderness? Should he eat grass?

Although I couldn't fill my stomach, I had almost completed the investigation of the situation along the river.

Nothing else happened on the way back, and the three of them quickly returned to the shelter, but the scene before them scared them.

A person sneaked out of the shelter.

The four people bumped into each other and were all startled.

After calming down a little, Lu Yuning also figured it out. There are usually many people running and walking in this park, so this person is probably a survivor.

He didn't waste any time and walked forward, wanting to say hello to the other party, but he didn't put down the sword in his hand. The order in the apocalypse no longer existed, so one must be on guard against others.

The man looks tall and thin, with a crew cut, a handsome face, and looks relatively young.

"Hello, Lu Yuning." Lu Yuning stretched out his hand.

"Ah... hello, I'm Wu Xiao."

The two shook hands. Wu Xiao looked at the sword in Lu Yuning's hand, looking a little nervous.

"I was planning to go down to the river from here and I was surprised to see... this exquisite shelter, so I went in to take a look. Did you build this?"

Lu Yuning nodded.

"How amazing! Is this your special ability?" Wu Xiao's face was full of surprise.

"Well... you have one too, right?" Lu Yuning already had a basic idea of what he had after hearing him talk about superpowers.

"Yes, it's useless. I just discovered it." Wu Xiao scratched his head and said embarrassedly.

Seeing that he didn't continue to explain what the specific superpower was, Lu Yuning thought that he was still a little cautious and didn't ask any more questions.

As if knowing what Lu Yuning was thinking, Wu Xiao quickly added: "Let me show you."

He looked around, as if searching for something, and then, under the gaze of the three people, he picked up a small stone on the ground, about the size of his palm.

"About this size."

He held the stone in his hand and looked at Lu Yuning and the other two. Seeing that they were all looking at him, he held the stone in his hand again.

Wu Xiao suddenly focused his eyes on the stone in his hand, as if he wanted to smash it with his eyes.

The three of them stared at the stone in his hand with some confusion. At this moment, the stone suddenly disappeared in full view of everyone.

"Hey, where's the stone? Am I dazzled?"

Zou Yunxin rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

Wu Xiao walked up to the three of them, pointed to a place not far away, and said, "Over there."

The three of them followed the direction he pointed, but they only saw a blue sky. Just as they were wondering, a small stone appeared out of thin air and then fell down.

"That's it. Anything I touch with my hands can be stored in a circular space near me, and then I can take it out again within a certain range around my body. I can't feel its weight during this process, and it doesn't affect my normal walking."

"But as you can see, the power is limited. The weight of the object doesn't matter, but the size and shape are key. Neither the size nor the length can exceed the diameter of my circular space. I've only been able to control objects as large as a rock, and I couldn't even kill a fly..."

Wu Xiao scratched his head awkwardly, as if he felt his abilities were useless.

"Haha, buddy, your superpower is really useless." Zou Yunxin seemed to have found a confidant. Although he did not have superpowers, it seemed that it did not matter whether Wu Xiao had this ability or not.

"Haha, huh? Bro, what's your name?"

"Zou Yunxin" "Hello, Brother Zou!"

"You're welcome, call me Yunxin or Lao Zou."

"Yeah, Brother Yunxin."

This guy was very much to Zou Yunxin's liking, and the two of them soon became brothers and their relationship quickly heated up.

On this side, Lu Yuning and Zhang Xinyue looked at each other, with some joy in their eyes.

Because Zou Yunxin has no superpowers, Lu Yuning did not tell him that superpowers can actually evolve. Obviously, Wu Xiao did not know this either, so he felt that his superpowers were useless.

But Lu Yuning and Zhang Xinyue knew that this was not a useless ability, it was simply abnormally strong!

According to Wu Xiao, the gravity of an object does not affect the upper limit, only the volume and shape do. As long as the volume storage upper limit is slightly increased, many overweight items can be transported.

And the most important thing is that Lu Yuning can break the materials into pieces. For many materials, Lu Yuning just needs to process them and then throw them into his space. This guy is simply a natural porter.

No, he must stay. Lu Yuning was excited. He took a deep breath, cleared his throat and walked towards Wu Xiao.

"Oh, by the way, there is something I want to discuss with you." Wu Xiao suddenly spoke when he saw Lu Yuning coming over.

Lu Yuning was stunned for a moment. Before he could speak, Zou Yunxin spoke first, "Brother, what's the matter?"

"Can I join you? I have nowhere to go now. If that doesn't work, you could at least help me find a shelter..." Wu Xiao's voice became smaller and smaller, and it was obvious that he was really embarrassed.

When he spoke, he didn't look at Zou Yunxin, but kept looking at Lu Yuning. He could obviously feel that the other two were led by him.

"Yu Ning, what do you think? Why don't we help him? I can guarantee that this guy is definitely a good person!" Zou Yunxin said as he patted Wu Xiao's shoulder. Wu Xiao also cooperated and made a silly expression of "I am a good person".

Lu Yuning was practically laughing inside, but she still pretended to be calm and thought for a moment, then frowned, crossed her arms over her chest, stared at Wu Xiao for a long time, and finally said with an expression as if she had made a major decision: "Okay... then you do more work."

Wu Xiao immediately cheered, and Zou Yunxin was also very happy.

"By the way, how did you get here?"

The few of them were almost familiar with each other, and Lu Yuning suddenly remembered this matter. He was just walking on the road alone, and he had spent a whole night there. Could he be so lucky that he didn't encounter a single insect?

"Hey, I originally had a companion, but he died on the way here. He was my classmate, and his superpower was a kind of protective shield. We encountered a mouse out foraging last night, and he fought to protect me, but was eventually bitten to death by the mouse."

Wu Xiao looked gloomy.

"My condolences, he also hopes that you will live well."

"Um"

The atmosphere was a little depressing for a moment, but Wu Xiao's experience reminded Lu Yuning that there were rats in the area, and their shelter obviously did not have the ability to prevent rats. It seemed that upgrading the shelter was imminent.

A gurgling sound broke the silence, obviously someone was hungry.

Zou Yunxin patted his stomach to express his apology.

"By the way, there is a wild grape tree not far ahead, but I don't dare to go there. Should we go and take a look?" Wu Xiao was reminded by the sound of hunger and suddenly remembered his experience on the road.

The eyes of Lu Yuning and the other two suddenly lit up. They hadn't eaten for more than a day and were extremely hungry. Their bodies were already a little weak. Just hearing Wu Xiao say the word "grapes" made their mouths water.

"What are we waiting for? Let's go." Zou Yunxin said nothing and pulled Wu Xiao out of the shelter.

The four of them headed towards their destination cautiously, and in less than half an hour they found the grape vine Wu Xiao mentioned.

They stood by the roadside and saw from afar a grape vine clinging to the trunk of a small tree in the weeds. About one meter above the ground, there was a bunch of huge fruits growing.

The grape vine was about 1.5 meters away from the roadside, but it was surrounded by weeds. From a distance, they could see a few mosquitoes flying around and a dragonfly lying on the tip of the grass. There was no telling how many insects were in the grass, and it was a big risk for them to walk through it.
