Doomsday: Humanity shrinks 100 times

Chapter 9 Zou Yun's new ability
Everyone made a lot of noise along the way and finally transported the cans back home before noon.

What was a little strange was that Wu Xiao looked like nothing had happened, just a little out of breath, but Zou Yunxin was so tired that he fell to the ground.

Lu Yuning was a little surprised. Zou Yunxin was a sportsman, and his lung capacity was definitely much stronger than that of ordinary people, but he was not as good as Wu Xiao.

"Wu Xiao, what did you do before?" Lu Yuning asked.

"Ah? A student."

"A sports person?"

"No, I'm from Communications Engineering. What's wrong? Can my major be used, Brother Yuning?" Wu Xiao has become much more confident since he got rid of the dilemma of having useless superpowers. He thought that Lu Yuning asked him because she wanted to use some of his professional knowledge.

"Ah, no, I see you have good physical strength. Look how tired Old Zou is." Lu Yuning pointed at Zou Yunxin and said.

"Hey? Brother Zou, why are you so out of breath? That jar isn't that heavy, is it? Take care of yourself, Brother Zou, why do you look so weak?" Wu Xiao and Zou Yunxin have similar interests and a pretty good relationship. They often joke around with each other when they have nothing to do.

"Bullshit, you, you are weak. You must have been lazy just now, so I pushed you away. You seem cunning and sly from the first moment I saw you."

Men are most afraid of being told no, so when Wu Xiao said that, he took it to heart. He immediately started to fight back, forgetting that he had patted Wu Xiao on the shoulder and assured him that he was "a good man."

The two soon started fighting.

Lu Yuning was a little surprised. He walked to the jar and wanted to push it to try.

"Huh? Why is it so hot?" Lu Yuning was a little surprised. The can actually felt a little hot to the touch.

"Where is it hot?" Zhang Xinyue also leaned over and put her hand on it, but she didn't feel anything.

"Huh?" Lu Yuning was a little surprised. He ran to her again and touched the can. It was indeed cold.

He looked at where he had been standing just now and suddenly realized something.

"Old Zou! You might have awakened your superpowers! Come here quickly!"

The two of them immediately stopped playing and came over with surprised looks on their faces.

"Really? I have one too?" The fact that he didn't have any superpowers had troubled him for a long time. After all, no one wanted to be a burden in this doomsday, especially when there was someone he loved.

"Put your hand on the can." Lu Yuning nodded. To further confirm, he asked Zou Yunxin to touch the can again with his hand.

"Oh, okay." Zou Yunxin obediently put his hand on it.

Lu Yuning also kept putting his hands on the can, and even put his face on it.

Not long after, a look of joy appeared on his face. He waved to Wu Xiao and Zhang Xinyue, and then said:
"Come here and touch it."

After saying that, he pointed to the can.

Zhang Xinyue probably knew what was going on. She walked over, put her hand to the surface and said, "It's hot indeed."

Wu Xiao was completely unaware of what was going on, but he still obediently came over and placed his palm on the jar.

"Hey? It's really hot, Brother Zou, you have a fever!"

"Fever? Why can't I feel it?" Zou Yunxin wondered.

"I guess your hands are warming up, so you can't feel the temperature difference. Why don't you try using your face?"

As expected, Zou Yunxin moved his face closer.

"Fuck, that's hot."

"No wonder you didn't awaken at first. It turns out that metal materials are needed," said Lu Yuning.

"Will this work?" Zou Yunxin said uncertainly.

"Can it be used to boil water for bathing?" Zhang Xinyue was a little happy.

Lu Yuning felt embarrassed. It seemed that this girl was really fond of cleanliness. She must have felt uncomfortable after not taking a shower for a few days. Shouldn't she think about drinking the hot water first?

"It's impossible to estimate now. It seems that the heat he produces is only about 40 degrees at most." Lu Yuning shook his head.

Zhang Xinyue said "oh" in disappointment.

Lu Yuning gave a wry smile. It seemed the men were too rough, ignoring the only woman's needs. He should ask her if he had time. "Will it be warmer if I take this off?" Wu Xiao asked casually.

Lu Yuning suddenly thought of something. He walked to the mouth of the can and saw that the seal of the can was still inside.

He crawled in, dragged it out, and handed it to Zou Yunxin.

"Let's try it," Lu Yuning suggested.

"Oh, okay." Zou Yunxin nodded and took the aluminum sheet.

Four people gathered around him, quietly looking at the aluminum sheet he had pressed to the ground.

Gradually, something felt wrong. The air around the aluminum sheet became distorted, and streams of hot air hit the four people's faces.

"So hot?" Lu Yuning was surprised.

"Wait a minute, I'll get some water."

Lu Yuning brought the bucket over and signaled others to stay away.

After the three of them stepped away, Lu Yuning put the bucket on the ground, then took out some water with his hands and splashed it on the aluminum sheet.

A mist rose quickly, and the water sprinkled on the aluminum sheet actually evaporated!
"The temperature is okay!" Zhang Xinyue said in surprise.

"It seems we have water to drink." Lu Yuning said with a smile.

"Oh!" Wu Xiao was a little excited and patted Zou Yunxin hard.

"I told you I wasn't weak!" Zou Yunxin still remembered this.

Zou Yun’s new skills solved the biggest problem at the moment: a stable water source.

People can go without food for several days, but not water.

Although I had thought about drinking river water directly if all else failed, I would only try that as a last resort.

After all, there is no medicine now, and you might lose your life if you get infected by bacteria.

It seems that I need to make something to boil water, but there is still some work to be done, so Lu Yuning decided to continue to fetch water first.

With Zou Yun's new ability, Lu Yuning decided to make another water container, so that there would be enough water. Maybe he could really make something for bathing!
Lu Yuning first spent some time making another container and placed it near the shelter, and then the four of them set off to the river.

Good things happened one after another today. Everyone's morale was unprecedentedly high. We went back and forth to fetch 5 buckets of water.

The sky also darkened.

As soon as Lu Yuning returned to the shelter, he started thinking about how to boil water.

Since the heat is generated by metal, the small aluminum sheet should be placed at the bottom of the container.

Then a part of it needs to be extended so that Zou Yunxin can touch it, which puts some requirements on the sealing of the bottom of the container.

Lu Yuning spent a lot of time and finally made the container according to his idea before dark.

The entire container was about the same height as them.

Although it looks large, it is actually less than 2 cm.

Because water evaporates when it boils, you need to make it a little larger.

Although a lot of water will still evaporate in this way, there should still be a lot left in the end.

The aluminum sheet is placed at the bottom, and the whole is sealed together with the cylindrical container in the middle, with only a small part leaking out.

The top of the container is in the shape of a pointed funnel.

The main consideration is that the water may splash out after boiling.

But after handing it over to Zou Yunxin, everyone was dumbfounded. Zou Yunxin's ability couldn't be used!

No matter how he tried, the aluminum sheet could only emit a slight amount of heat, and gradually even the last bit of heat disappeared.
