Doomsday: Humanity shrinks 100 times

Chapter 8 Cans

Lu Yuning sorted out the current situation and discussed it with the other three people.

Basically, Lu Yuning needs to handle these things. He is too busy to handle them all and can only look at which one has a higher priority.

The first thing that needs to be solved is definitely the safety of the shelter, which requires some materials. Wu Xiao volunteered to be responsible for collecting the materials. He planned to go to the grape vine. Last time he saw some small branches, he thought he could move them over and use them.

Then, under Zhang Xinyue's strong suggestion, the four decided to give high priority to the use of domestic water.

Lu Yuning could understand. After all, a girl who was usually very clean and tidy was now made into a mud figure. No one could stand it.

As for the grapes, Lu Yuning processed them again and sealed them with several layers of leaf material. Although this could not completely isolate the oxygen and keep them fresh, it at least had some effect.

Once the domestic water problem is resolved, we will see if we can make a drying rack and make some raisins or something so that they can be stored more easily.

The four of them took action after discussing it, splitting into two groups. Wu Xiao went to collect materials by himself, while Lu Yuning, Zou Yunxin and Zhang Xinyue went to the river to fetch water.

Lu Yuning repeatedly told Wu Xiao to run as fast as possible if he saw insects like ants.

As for the method of killing mosquitoes, he has already told the three of them several times, and he believes that they should all be able to deal with it.

After all, if you want to survive the apocalypse, this is something you must face.

Finally, Lu Yuning helped Wu Xiao make another set of equipment, a stone spear and a shield. This time, Lu Yuning mixed some plant stem materials into the shield, and the shield seemed to have a much improved defense.

Wu Xiao set off with his equipment in high spirits, but Zou Yunxin had a feeling that he was going to die heroically. He wondered what Wu Xiao would think if he knew that.

Here, Lu Yuning and the other two walked towards the riverside area. This time they were familiar with the route and quickly reached the riverside.

Lu Yuning had almost finished preparing everything before he came. He made a rope about the length of a straw meter and added some high-quality materials to it, so it was quite tough.

The concept of half a meter, if compared, is about fifty meters in the past, which is equivalent to hanging a rope from a dozen floors to the first floor to fetch water, but in fact their feeling is not that exaggerated.

Lu Yuning and Zhang Xinyue discussed this, and there are probably two reasons.

First, their physical fitness is no longer the same as before. Their strength is dozens of times greater than before. Similarly, due to the influence of strength, their movement speed is naturally much faster. Of course, this is all relative.

The second is a physical problem. Simply put, the perception of time and vision is different from before. A distance of half a meter is a considerable distance in terms of visual perception for them now.

But in fact, it takes less than 2 seconds for the bucket to fall from top to bottom and hit the water surface. This is the difference between visual perception and time perception. The human brain will automatically correct this difference, so it does not look so unreasonable now.

……

In short, many visual experiences of the miniature world cannot be directly quantified and compared, and only they themselves know this experience.

So it didn't actually take Lu Yuning much effort to make this half-meter rope.

The bucket took some effort. It's not a precision item, but it does require a certain degree of hardness, otherwise it would be difficult to hold water.

In the end, he decided to use stem materials to make buckets, which was quite difficult and took some time.

But he can now process this type of material more easily, which is good news.

The method of getting water is very simple. Tie a rope to the bucket, throw it into the river, and then pull it out.

It's purely physical work, so leave it to Zou Yunxin.

He quickly mastered the method and got his first bucket of water.

Zhang Xinyue couldn't wait to wash her hands and immediately felt much better.

When they ate grapes yesterday, their hands were stained with a lot of sugar water. Now they are not only dirty, but also a bit sticky and quite uncomfortable.

Lu Yuning and Zou Yunxin also hurried to wash, and the happiness of the three of them increased significantly. This bucket of water could only barely last the four of them a day, which was definitely not enough.

Lu Yuning had also thought about it in advance and made another container near the shelter using the same material as the bucket. This way, he would go to the river once in a while and fetch three days' worth of water each time.

There were also some minor problems with transporting the water. The road down to the river was quite bumpy. Even if he and Zou Yunxin were very strong, the water would inevitably spill out. So Lu Yuning used materials to seal the mouth of the bucket, which made it much faster to transport the water.

The three of them went back and forth twice and had already fetched enough water for two days. Just one more bucket would be enough.

Just when he was about to go down again, he saw Wu Xiaoxing running back in a hurry.

"Brother Yuning, I found an empty can over there!"

Lu Yuning immediately became interested. He finally saw new materials. Although he probably couldn't process them now, he suddenly had an idea. However, he had to go over and take a look first.

Lu Yuning and the other two put down their work and followed Wu Xiao to where he made his discovery.

Wu Xiao stopped some distance away from the grape vines and turned to a patch of weeds on the side of the road.

Through the gaps in the weeds, Lu Yuning saw a red can lying quietly on the ground.

Although he didn't know which uncivilized friend threw garbage around before the end of the world, Lu Yuning was really grateful to him now.

"Everyone, we have a new shelter!" Lu Yuning clapped his hands and said happily.

When he heard Wu Xiao talking about the can just now, he had the idea of this shelter, but he was not sure whether he could get in through the bottle mouth. Now he felt relieved after seeing it.

The three people's eyes suddenly lit up. They have always relied on Lu Yuning's special abilities, so when it comes to upgrading the shelter, their habitual thinking is to let Lu Yuning use new materials to upgrade it. After Lu Yuning's reminder, they immediately reacted.

"Yes! Why didn't I think of it just now!" Wu Xiao immediately slapped his head.

"Wow, it's much safer now!" Zhang Xinyue said happily.

"Hehe, it's Yu Ning as expected. I didn't expect that. But are we going to move here?" Zou Yunxin asked.

"Let's not do that. It's convenient to get water over there, and this can should be able to be pushed away. We need to deal with the grass nearby first." Lu Yuning shook his head and rejected his idea.

With this aluminum can, the safety factor of the shelter is directly raised to the highest level, and there is no need to be afraid of rats. Moreover, after Lu Yuning can handle metal materials, he can also process this can further.

After making the decision, everyone started to act. Although the can was in the grass, fortunately it was only in the edge area, so they just needed to be a little careful when handling it. It was not as dangerous as the grape vines.

Lu Yuning's special ability became more and more proficient, and dealing with these weeds was no problem. In no time, he crushed the grass leaves on the ground, and the cans were completely presented in front of everyone.

Wu Xiao thought about it, walked forward and put the materials on the ground into the space.

He has now developed a habit of stuffing things of similar size into the space first when he sees them. This can help improve his supernatural powers. He has become a qualified doomsday scavenger.

After continuous efforts, his space is now a whole circle larger than before, and can already hold things the size of two hands, so Wu Xiao is now more and more happy to pick up trash.

After Lu Yuning dealt with the weeds, the four of them rushed forward and pushed the can onto the road.

All that was left was to push the can back home. This task could be left to Wu Xiao and Zou Yunxin, while Zhang Xinyue and Lu Yuning were responsible for keeping watch and confirming the direction.

The can rolled several times on the ground, making a "rustling" sound. It was obvious that there was something inside.

Lu Yuning looked into the mouth of the jar and found that the lid of the jar had fallen inside.

The design of this kind of jar makes it easy for the pull ring to fall in. I felt that it should not affect the pushing, so I just let it clink inside without paying any more attention to it.
