Doomsday: Humanity shrinks 100 times

Chapter 52 Food and Nutrition

Although the two were a little shocked, they still ran to Zou Yunxin to see if he was okay.

Fortunately, his hand was just a little numb from the shock, but he was not injured.

"What power!" Lu Yuning looked at the mace lying on the ground with some surprise in his eyes.

It seems that all the effort in transformation is worth it.

This weapon transformation is just the beginning. His special ability can actually generate a lot of energy attacks, and blasting ability is just one of them.

However, the disadvantages are also obvious. It has great power but also great reaction force. He needs to practice more on injecting energy and the timing of using it.

Judging from the distance the stone flew, it would be difficult for ordinary insects to withstand such a blow. Of course, insects with shells may not be killed, but at least they will be knocked away.

It is also a killer weapon, but it lacks flexibility, so how to use it specifically depends on Zou Yunxin himself.

"Hahaha, this is output ability, did you see it?" Zou Yunxin was a little stunned by the shock just now, but when he reacted, he was naturally extremely excited. He immediately patted Wu Xiao and showed off to him with some pride.

"Brother Zou is still the best. I have to admit he is better than me." Wu Xiaogao showed his emotional intelligence at the right time and quickly flattered him.

Zou Yunxin was naturally extremely happy. He dusted himself off, picked up the explosive mace and went back to practice. From time to time, the sound of explosions could be heard in the square.

This weapon took a lot of time to make, so Lu Yuning hurriedly made the rest of the things.

Two rust bombs, and the armor that was agreed upon earlier.

Give each of them a set of protective gear, including a breastplate, abdominal armor, arm guards and leg guards, and they can just use the previous shields.

The material is naturally plastic. It has to be said that this thing has a wide range of applications, so Lu Yuning decided to get some back this time when he went out, the more the better.

After the items were made, Wu Xiao and Zou Yunxin put them on immediately.

However, the feedback from both was not very good.

"This thing is so uncomfortable to wear." Wu Xiao scratched his head.

"Indeed, it has some impact on the activities." Zou Yunxin agreed.

They also understood why Lu Yuning said that full body armor was not possible. Wearing small armor like this would already affect the movement.

If it is made fully armed, not only will it be difficult to move, but the people inside will probably be in great pain.

The main reason is that the plastic itself is quite hard. Even though Lu Yuning has made it very delicately, the feel is still not very good.

But safety comes first, you still have to wear it when you go out, safety first.

After this strength training, the combat capability of the three-person team has been greatly improved.

This is what Lu Yuning has always wanted to do, but there are always higher priority things that occupy his time.

Although nothing went wrong during the last exploration, we still need to be as prepared as possible when heading to an unknown and unfamiliar area this time.

It was still early, so Lu Yuning decided to set off immediately.

They are actually a bit pressed for time now. It is already mid-to-late September, but there are still many things to do, so they can only work one day as if it were two.

Moreover, you may not be able to find food on this trip, and you may have to explore other places, so you have to hurry up.

As the three of them's fighting power increased dramatically, they became more confident.

They originally wanted to not bring Zhang Xinyue with them this time because she had weak self-protection abilities, so they were naturally worried about her, but in the end they couldn't persuade her otherwise.

"Confidence is a good thing, but you still can't be careless. Although you look fully armed now, it will still be difficult to deal with a large insect." Zhang Xinyue poured a basin of cold water at the right time.

Lu Yuning thought about it and realized that he had been living too comfortably recently and his sense of crisis was a little weak.

Not to mention ordinary insects, if you encounter mutants, the situation is still very dangerous, so the strategy is to avoid them if you can, and run away if you can.

In this way, bringing Zhang Xinyue along is more reliable than improving one's strength.

The four of them were almost ready to set off. There was no need to worry too much about leaving three people at home, as it was relatively safe to stay in the tree hole.

The road to the fork in the road was quite familiar to the group, and they started chatting again out of boredom.

"What kind of wild vegetables should we find?" Wu Xiao asked. "It doesn't really matter what kind, as long as they're edible," Lu Yuning replied.

"Why? Why not stock up on more walnuts?" Wu Xiao wondered.

"Walnuts are indeed good things, and we need to stock up on them, but eating only them can easily make you sick."

"Sick? Oh, I see." Zou Yunxin suddenly interrupted.

"Oh? Brother Zou knows this?" Wu Xiao said with some disbelief.

"What are you talking about! What are you talking about! Of course I know. Is it scurvy? Scurvy was once a disease that seriously threatened human health. Hundreds of years ago, it was widely prevalent among sailors, explorers and the military, and it was especially serious among sailors on long voyages." Zou Yunxin showed off with some pride.

"You actually know about this disease and described it in quite some detail." Zhang Xinyue looked at him.

"Hahaha, I like watching wilderness survival shows, so I know a little bit about this. What do you think, Old Wu? Are you convinced?"

Before Wu Xiao could say anything, Zhang Xinyue poured a bucket of cold water on him without mercy.

"You only know half of the knowledge and you're still showing off. Then tell me why you got this disease."

"Ah? Um, I forgot, hehe."

Zhang Xinyue rolled her eyes at him. "Scurvy is mainly caused by a lack of vitamin C. Before this disease was discovered, sailors at sea often didn't have access to vegetables, which is why they developed scurvy."

"So wild vegetables contain vitamin C?"

"You're right about that, but walnuts also contain vitamin C, so the illness Yu Ning is talking about is not scurvy."

"So there's this thing in walnuts?" Zou Yunxin muttered softly.

Lu Yuning nodded. This was indeed not what he was talking about.

Walnuts are extremely nutritious and can provide rich protein, fat and carbohydrates.

It also contains a variety of trace elements and minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, iron, etc. that are essential to the human body.

Anyway it's a good thing.

"The main reason is that walnuts do not contain salt. Long-term insufficient salt intake will lead to physical weakness. Moreover, the fat content of walnuts is too high, which will increase the burden on the liver. It is definitely not good to eat this all the time." Lu Yuning gave the answer.

"I see." Zou Yunxin nodded.

"In addition to this, we may need to develop some other foods." Lu Yuning thought about it.

"I can't think of anything else to eat. I wonder if there are any other fruit trees in this park." Zhang Xinyue looked thoughtful.

"I can think of two possible sources of food." Lu Yuning said.

The three of them looked at him, waiting for him to continue.

"Fish, how about it? Remember when we went to the river last time and saw some fish in it? Maybe we can find a way to catch one."

"I guess it's difficult, mainly because we can't pull it up. The fish is very strong in the water." Zhang Xinyue frowned.

"It's definitely not possible to rely on manpower alone. We definitely need some mechanical devices. Leverage and pulleys might be some way to save effort, but I haven't figured out how to do it yet. You can think about it."

"Well, maybe." Zhang Xinyue lowered her head and began to think.

"Then what is the other source of food?" Wu Xiao asked.

“Insect meat.”

The three of them were visibly stunned.

"Ugh~" Zhang Xinyue was the first to react and made a vomiting gesture.
