Doomsday: Humanity shrinks 100 times

Chapter 85 Hidden dangers
This weed area had obviously not been trimmed before the end of the world, and it grew extremely lush and dense.

At this moment, Lu Yuning felt like he had walked into a primitive jungle.

The lighting in this grassy area is not good, and it looks a bit dark inside.

In addition, because it rained a few days ago, the ground was still a little damp and emitted a faint musty smell.

As soon as he came in, several insects flew past his eyes quickly. Lu Yuning couldn't see them clearly, but judging from the way they moved, they should be insects like grasshoppers.

Compared to the strange and oppressive feeling in the forest area, this weed area is more like the feeling of being in the forest before it was shrunk.

But there is also a great sense of crisis.

The main reason is that the plants are dense and the light is not good. Coupled with the very obvious sound of insects and various insects flying past from time to time, it is easy to make people nervous.

Lu Yuning has a psychological trauma about this area. The last spider incident left a deep impression on him.

Moreover, the spider was obviously a little strange and had a strong desire to attack.

This made him feel more and more that this grassy area was not simple.

Fortunately, they were riding a giant beast, which greatly improved their sense of security.

There are many kinds of plants in the grass area, but most of them are of no use to them.

I did see a few unique-looking plants from afar. Their branches were slender, and even at their current size, they felt like they could be held in one hand, and the ends looked furry.

Lu Yuning thought about it for a moment and realized that it should be some foxtail grass.

I don't know if this thing can be used. The dogtail-shaped flower at the end does look a bit soft.

Maybe I can get some back and upgrade the mattress.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuning hurriedly called out to Xu Qi: "Look over there."

After saying that, he pointed to the foxtail grass plants not far away.

Following the direction of his finger, Xu Qi also saw those foxtail grasses.

He immediately understood, nodded, and then started communicating with the chipmunk.

The chipmunk immediately stopped, turned around and ran towards its destination.

"You can also take this back. Maybe it can be used as a cold-proof interlayer." Lu Yuning reminded them.

Xu Qi immediately understood and nodded as he looked at the furry foxtail grass.

Chipmunks are very fast and this area is not very big for them. Although it looks quite far away visually, it is only a few steps for them.

Just as the two were still thinking about how to make use of the foxtail grass, the chipmunk under their feet suddenly stopped.

Then he seemed a little frightened and took a few steps back.

This abnormal behavior was immediately noticed by the two.

"What's wrong?" Lu Yuning asked.

He was a little cautious and had a bad feeling in his heart.

The last time I saw a chipmunk get scared was when it encountered that mutated bee. It seems like there's something strange around here too.

Xu Qi frowned and quickly communicated: "There's something inside."

really.

Lu Yuning lowered his head and thought for a while. When he was considering whether to give up, his eyes suddenly glanced upwards and his whole body shook unconsciously.

A huge spider web was covering the heads of the two people not far away.

Looking in the direction of the spider web, the scene in front of him almost scared Lu Yuning to death.

A white spider web, intricately intertwined on the weeds not far away, can be described as overwhelming!

They seemed to have run into a spider's nest.

Lu Yuning's legs suddenly felt weak, the hair on his body stood up, and his back felt itchy. He quickly turned around and said to Xu Qi, "Quick, quick, get out."

Xu Qi had also seen the scene before him. His face was pale, and he was obviously frightened. He quickly contacted the chipmunk, and the two of them and the rat quickly fled into the distance.

……

After getting away from the spider swarm area, Lu Yuning finally breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed his tense spirit.

"It's so scary. Why are there so many spider webs?" Xu Qi said after taking a breath.

"There may be mutants inside." Lu Yuning confirmed.

"Is it because of herd behavior?"

Lu Yuning shook his head. "Spiders have a variety of lifestyles. There are solitary species, and there are also species that exhibit certain social behaviors. But judging by the chipmunk's reaction just now, and the one I encountered earlier, there must be a mutant among them."

"Oh, trouble." Lu Yuning sighed again, as if he remembered something.

"It's okay, we just don't bother it. Those foxtail grasses can be discarded, they shouldn't affect our pipeline laying." Xu Qi was puzzled.

Lu Yuning shook his head and said, "I'm not worried about that. This spider swarm poses a huge threat to us."

Xu Qi was stunned for a moment, then understood what he meant.

Although this spider gathering area is still some distance away from the tree hole, this entire grass area is probably the spiders' activity range.

Now that I think about it, Lu Yuning’s last experience wasn’t an accident.

Normal insects are fine. They don't have much intelligence, but they have some instinctive hunting behaviors. If you are careful and cautious, there won't be any problem.

But if it is a mutant, the situation is different.

There's no telling what this strange creature will do.

Thinking of the mutated bee that could summon a swarm of bees, Lu Yuning suddenly became worried.

It's really hard to feel at ease living around here and guarding this group of things. No one wants to be so worried every day.

Do you want to move?
They had put a lot of effort into building the shelter and had just finished completing the water supply system.

We have even done a lot of development planning for the future.

I really don't want to move again now.

Seeing Lu Yuning's frown, Xu Qi said soothingly, "Why don't we discuss this with Xinyue and the others later? If they need any help, I can call Brother Chen and the others over as well."

Lu Yuning came back to his senses, looked at her, nodded and said, "Well, that's what you said. Let's go back and think of a solution first. Let's lay this pipeline first."

I can’t think of any good solution to this problem right now, so I’ll talk about it when I get back.

The two put the matter aside for the time being, and this time they were not in the mood to explore further, so they headed straight for the river.

The chipmunk didn't stay long and quickly passed through the area.

As the vision became clear again, Lu Yuning finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked around at the environment in front of him. There was also a river embankment here, and the two of them were standing on it at this moment.

Behind me is a weed forest, and in front of me is the river.

Lu Yuning thought about it and decided that it would not be possible to place the water inlet pipe directly here.

We must find a way to fix the water pipe and then make a filtering device at the water inlet.

Otherwise, some impurities in the river water will enter the pipes and easily cause blockage.

Lu Yuning first processed the water inlet, made something like a hole, drilled a few holes on it, and made a simple filtering device.

Just put it on the water inlet and it will look like a shower.
