Doomsday: Humanity shrinks 100 times

Chapter 57 Tracking
"What should I do with these wild vegetables when I take them back?" Zou Yunxin was bored and started talking again.

"We can open up a piece of land next to the shelter specifically for planting. If we come across any edible plants in the future, we can transplant them there if possible," Zhang Xinyue replied.

Lu Yuning nodded, having the same idea.

In the long run, agriculture must be developed. There are many edible plants in this park. Although it is not enough to starve, the variety of food is also very important. Lu Yuning even wants to go back to the grape vines and get some more grapes, and by the way, study whether grapes can be planted nearby.

"But apart from this, we also have to consider the issue of food storage," Zhang Xinyue added.

"We don't have much food?" Zou Yunxin wondered.

"It's not a question of whether there are more or less. Have you ever thought about what will happen to these wild vegetables in winter after they are transplanted?"

"Ah?" Zou Yunxin was stunned, obviously he had never thought about this.

"In winter, it's not just a matter of keeping warm. Some cold-sensitive plants will stop growing, and there will be a food shortage," Zhang Xinyue explained.

"How about putting the plants in the shelter?" Wu Xiao thought about it.

"That's one way, but there's no soil in the tree hole, so it's a bit of a big project to do indoor cultivation." Lu Yuning continued the topic.

"How about building a greenhouse?" Zhang Xinyue suddenly suggested.

Lu Yuning nodded: "I have this idea too, but we still need to study the specifics, and it requires a lot of plastic."

"Plastic again! This thing is really good."

"Well, we need to quickly get that pile back from the trash can. There are people nearby, and they're probably short on this stuff too."

The problem of survival has not been solved yet, and now he has encountered a group of unfamiliar organizations. There are more things to consider in the future. Lu Yuning can't help but feel worried.

The four of them temporarily ended their conversation because they encountered a difficult problem.

The upward sloping path in front of them was a bit steep. They didn't feel it when they came down, but now it was difficult to go up while pulling the wild vegetables. The four of them were a bit troubled.

Finally, Lu Yuning and Zhang Xinyue discussed it and decided not to use the cart, but to have four people carry it up instead.

"Why do they have to lift the car up when they have one?" Zou Yunxin was a little confused.

"If we pull it up, the upper limit of strength is the static friction between the body and the ground, that is, our own weight. Lifting it up depends on the body's muscle strength and the weight of the wild vegetables." Zhang Xinyue explained briefly.

Zou Yunxin seemed to understand but not quite, and finally tactfully stopped asking.

This wild vegetable weighs more than ten grams, which is almost the limit of what the four of them can move.

Lu Yuning didn't know how much they weighed now.

They have tested their physical strength before, for example, they can easily lift each other, so their physical strength has increased after being shrunk.

However, without accurate comparables, the quality itself is difficult to estimate.

The reason why I mentioned the issue of physical quality is mainly because in order to push the cart loaded with wild vegetables up, I rely not only on physical strength, but also on the static friction between my feet and the ground.

If you try to push it, it is very likely that the car will not be pushed up and you will slip first.

If you lift them, although static friction is also involved, the friction will increase exponentially due to the weight of the wild vegetables themselves.

Facts have proved that Lu Yuning and Zhang Xinyue were right.

Although the four of them were a little exhausted, they finally managed to carry the wild vegetables up.

This was a mistake made by Lu Yuning and the others. They obviously didn't consider this when they came down. Fortunately, the wild vegetable was not too heavy, otherwise they would have had to crush it and take it back.

After Lu Yuning climbed up, he looked around and found that the three people from before were gone.

The four of them rested for a while, packed up the vegetables and loaded them back into the car, continuing their journey to the shelter. Ten minutes later, three furtive little figures reappeared near the fork in the road. They were the same three people from before.

"What do you think, Fatty? Can you smell it? You've been inhaling it for a long time." The young man asked with an impatient look.

"Don't worry, boss. I need to use my special ability to identify the smell first. Once I lock onto them, they won't be able to escape," said the fat man.

"I don't know how strong these four people are. I showed my strength just now, but they didn't react at all." The black-faced man spoke, obviously not satisfied with the deterrent effect just now.

"Damn it, what else can I say? With your crappy superpower, you can't scare anyone with a bit of brains." Although the fat man had some respect for the young man, he didn't care about the black face at all.

The young man reached out and interrupted the dark-faced man who was about to refute, and asked, "They probably have reconnaissance abilities too. Are you sure they've gone far?"

"I can guarantee this. As far as tracking is concerned, there is no one better than me in our organization. Don't worry. I have it!" The fat man said halfway and suddenly looked happy.

"found it?"

"Rough, of course. We're heading down this road. What should we do? Should we follow?"

"Can you please keep your mouth clean? What did the boss say?" The black-faced man asked the young man with a look of disgust on his face.

"What do you think of me?"

The dark-faced man seemed to know what he was going to say. He cleared his throat and said, "Why don't you follow them and take a look? Did you notice they're holding shields? They probably have manufacturing abilities. These are rare abilities. Our guild leader said that if we encounter people with these abilities, we must recruit them."

"What if the other side disagrees? And it seems that they are also organized, called Weiguang?"

"Hehe, even though that kid is cunning, I am still more shrewd and shrewd. I found a flaw. This organization called Weiguang he mentioned is probably made up out of thin air!" The black-faced man commented on Lu Yuning.

"How to say?"

"Although this guy is impeccable, the people behind him are clearly a bit naive. When he mentioned the name of the organization, they were obviously stunned for a moment. Although they reacted quickly, I still discovered them."

".I was almost fooled by him."

"Let's go over there and see. If it's really a large organization, then we can't afford to offend them, so we'll just retreat. If it's just these four people, then boss, you can just take them back. These people don't look very strong at first glance, otherwise what's the point of holding a broken shield? Boss, your supernatural combat ability is also among the best in the organization, so taking them out will be a piece of cake."

"It's hindsight. Why didn't you tell me that just now? Why are we going through so much trouble now?" The fat man interjected with disdain on his face.

"Bullshit, this is called planning before you act. Think it through before you make a decision. You are so stupid that you don't even bother to find out the truth. What if you offend someone?" The man with a dark face retorted.

"Okay, let's follow and see." The young man waved his hand.

"Okay, hehe, but did you see that, that little girl is really pretty." The black-faced man showed a lewd look.

"Damn, you're still thinking about this at this time? You must have never seen a woman in your previous life?" The fat man said with some disgust.

"You are so arrogant. You don't care about her at all. Then let me make a deal. The girl will be mine once you take her back." The black-faced man spoke immediately.

“Then I’d like to think about it.”

"Shut up!" the young man said impatiently.

The two men shut up obediently, and the three of them walked towards the direction where Lu Yuning and the others disappeared, walking at a steady pace.
