Doomsday: Humanity shrinks 100 times

Chapter 92 Enemies meet on a narrow road
Because Lu Yuning wanted to get the projection equipment ready as soon as possible, Xu Qi didn't come today.

Considering that Xu Qi may be very busy recently, he may not come over in the next one or two days.

The situation on their side is somewhat urgent. If the Spider's Nest issue is not dealt with promptly, everyone will be uneasy every day.

So after much thought, Lu Yuning decided to go there in person.

The more he thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed, so he quickly told everyone about his decision.

The distance from the square to the pavilion is actually not far, and they are familiar with the route, so they don’t have to worry too much about safety issues.

"I plan to go there by myself." Lu Yuning looked at everyone and expressed his thoughts.

Everyone was stunned, some not understanding his idea.

"No, it's too dangerous." Zou Yunxin was the first to disagree.

"That's right, we don't have anything to do, so let's go together." Wu Xiao also stood up and spoke.

Lu Yuning shook his head, then said seriously, "I'm not saying this casually. I'm confident in my ability to protect myself. You should all know that although my offensive abilities aren't strong, my defensive abilities are still decent. What I'm more worried about is the shelter. It's best to be prepared for the worst. What if all of us go out and the mutants here happen to make some noise?"

"I can't be so unlucky." Zou Yunxin murmured.

"We can't leave our destiny to luck." Lu Yuning said.

"All right."

"Xinyue must stay here. Before the mutants are eliminated, your main job is to constantly monitor their behavior. If there are any signs, we must respond in advance."

Zhang Xinyue nodded to show that she understood.

"Then Old Wu and I will go with you." Zou Yunxin continued.

Lu Yuning still shook her head: "I still want you two to stay here, even if Xinyue is here, if something really happens."

Lu Yuning looked at the three girls and didn't continue speaking.

Everyone was silent, understanding what he meant.

"At least let Old Wu go with you?"

Wu Xiao nodded when he heard this.

"Actually, whether it's just me or Old Wu and I, from a safety perspective, we're all about the same. Old Wu's abilities are more in the auxiliary aspect. After all, we're not going to fight. Even if we bring him with us, our ability to prevent danger won't improve much. On the contrary, you two will be more powerful if you work together." Lu Yunnan expressed his thoughts.

Zou Yunxin and Wu Xiao were both stunned, and obviously realized that what he said made sense.

In their team, if we talk about defensive capabilities, only Lu Yuning has some.

The two of them play more of a supporting and offensive role.

Even if we really encounter a situation that is difficult to solve, having one more person or one less person will not make much difference.

Instead, Lu Yuning had to consider their safety.

Of course, the main purpose of this trip is to find Xu Ting at the pavilion. If they want to go out and explore, it would be better for their four-person team to go out together.

They were silent for a while, as they were a little worried about his actions.

But I had to accept what Lu Yuning said.

"Don't worry, it will only take about an hour to get there. You all know my abilities. Even if it is a mutant, I can handle it. Even if I can't defeat it, I can protect myself." Lu Yuning finally brought out his own battle record to reassure everyone.

As a last resort, everyone finally agreed.

Naturally, there were some instructions before leaving.

Lu Yuning himself didn't feel anything. He was well aware of his own abilities.

Although we are confident, we still cannot be careless and we still need to take good precautions.

Lu Yuning made something like a lifebuoy out of plastic and slung it across his shoulder.

He put Hong Yu back into the scabbard. After everything was ready, he trotted towards the fork in the road under everyone's concerned gaze.

……

The advantage of traveling alone is that you can move very quickly. Normally, it would take four people at least an hour to travel from the tree hole to the fork in the road.

At this time, he was jogging all the way here, and it felt like he only arrived in about thirty minutes.

Lu Yuning looked at the familiar environment around him and slowly let out a breath.

Jogging all the way here took some energy.

"Huh~relaxing" Lu Yuning murmured to himself.

He was traveling alone, and it was impossible for him to say that he was not nervous. Although he spoke toughly, he was actually a little nervous.

He was highly focused along the way, but the insects on the road were very considerate and basically ignored him.

It may also be because the weather is hot at noon, many insects do not like to move around at noon.

Lu Yuning took a short rest, thought about it, and then walked to the trash can to take a look.

It was near here that he had last encountered the Spark exploration team. However, this time, everything was quiet. The entrance to the garbage dump looked unchanged, and he vaguely remembered the items inside had been placed in the same positions.

It seems that after the last time, Xinghuo's exploration of this area has been temporarily stopped. Of course, it is also possible that the garbage here is of no use to them.

Lu Yuning thought about it and finally gave up the idea of going into the trash can to look.

There might be cockroaches inside, and I can’t get the materials back myself, so forget it.

If I want to get the materials back, I have to wait until I return and ask Xu Qi to help me move them back.

Of course, the material this time is not plastic but aluminum cans. There is a way to use this thing now, and these cans in the trash can will be taken back sooner or later.

Lu Yuning thought for a while, silently made a plan, and prepared to continue heading towards the pavilion.

At this moment, a faint voice came from the direction of the bridge.

Although their visual range was reduced after they shrank, their hearing was greatly improved.

Although people's vocal ability is not as good as before, normal speech can still be heard within a range of about three meters.

Lu Yuning was shocked and without thinking too much, he quickly found a place to hide.

"Spark?" he muttered to himself, confused and surprised.

At this time, on the bridge a few meters away, three small figures were slowly walking towards Lu Yuning.

"Zhiqiang, has Xu Qi taken the wrong medicine recently? He insists on building a shelter and wants us to learn to be self-reliant. He also asks us to get materials from the trash can." A middle-aged man with a slightly fat figure spoke up.

There were still some injuries on his face, bruised and purple. He was the fat man who had been beaten by Lu Yuning before.

"Tsk~, there's nothing wrong with what she said. You guys are a bunch of lazy guys, you should have been out exercising a long time ago. But this woman's personality suddenly changed drastically. I guess she was bewitched by that guy surnamed Lu."

The person called Zhiqiang by the fat man was naturally Ma Zhiqiang who had not been seen for a long time.

At this time, he spoke bluntly, and the nickname he was using was referring to Xu Qi.

"That's right, that's right. But I'm willing to work with Zhiqiang. But this Lu guy is still haunting me. I don't know where he's hiding. Sister Xu Qi, it seems like he has a close relationship with her."

Ma Zhiqiang suddenly stopped when he heard him speak, and then slapped him in the face without any warning.

"Do you think I'm stupid? Can't I see the relationship between the two of them? Are you trying to remind me or are you deliberately using me as a pawn?"

The fat man was slapped in the face and was a little confused for a moment, but he immediately reacted and dared not say anything, so he hurriedly put on an apologetic smile.

The other person was also frightened by Ma Zhiqiang's behavior at this time, and hurriedly lowered his head and dared not speak.

"Oh, the Lu guys will die sooner or later. Don't think I don't know where they're hiding. These guys are really smart."

Ma Zhiqiang sneered.

The fat man was stunned for a moment, obviously understanding what he meant. It seemed that he already knew where Lu Yuning and the others were hiding.

"Zhiqiang is indeed very predictable. It turns out he already knew their location."

The fat man hastened to flatter him, fearing that he would accidentally get beaten up again, but in his heart he cursed this weird guy hundreds of times.

Ma Zhiqiang's expression was uncertain. "When they left last time, I heard them discussing it. Plus, that bitch kept running towards the square for no reason, so I guessed it."

"Oh, I have to say that Sister Xu Qi is really short-sighted. Zhiqiang has been so good to her, but she has not appreciated it for so long." The fat man shook his head with pretended regret.

"Snapped"

Ma Zhiqiang slapped him hard in the face again.

The fat man's face turned red, but he finally managed to hold it back.

Ma Zhiqiang's face was gloomy. "Xu Qi, don't worry. My abilities have just improved recently. Since you won't take the soft approach, I'll let you have a taste of the hard approach. I'll also get rid of that Lu guy when I get the chance. If that doesn't work, I'll talk to someone from Xinghuo, hehe."

The fat man lowered his head and was secretly happy, thinking that it would be best if these two guys died together.

But he quickly said, "Zhiqiang, are you planning to join Xinghuo? Don't forget me, your little brother. I heard that ordinary people over there don't have a good life."

Ma Zhiqiang ignored him and said, "I don't know where these guys came from, but considering Mr. Lu's personality, he definitely won't join us. We can use them to get rid of Mr. Lu, and then the others won't be a concern."

The fat man nodded angrily and said, "Yes, yes, it's this guy surnamed Lu who is the worst kind of person."

Then he asked tentatively, "I just don't know how to contact this Spark organization?"

"Last time I heard that they met Xinghuo's people near this trash can. I guess they will explore the pavilion sooner or later. Let's make a conspicuous mark here on the trash can so that they can find it as soon as possible." Ma Zhiqiang came up with an idea.

The fat man nodded and said nothing more.

Another person next to them kept his head down while listening to the conversation between the two people and didn't dare to speak. It was obvious that he was not the same kind of person as these two people.

The three voices were getting closer and closer, and their target should be this trash can.

Lu Yuning, who was hiding not far away, was silent. Naturally, he heard everything the two of them were talking about. At this moment, his expression was subtle, and he muttered to himself: "Enemies meet on a narrow road."
