Doomsday: Humanity shrinks 100 times

Chapter 6 Grapes
"No, it's too dangerous to go in directly like this."

Lu Yuning touched his chin and looked at the grape vine in front of him thoughtfully.

"Let Xinyue detect it first?" Zou Yunxin said.

"The main problem is that we have difficulty moving around. Even if we can sense some insects, we can't hide from them when they come because the grass is too dense."

Lu Yuning shook his head.

"There are a lot of bugs in here. I can sense dozens of them crawling around. If we go straight in, we might not be able to avoid them."

Zhang Xinyue rubbed her head and said to a few people.

Wu Xiao looked at Zhang Xinyue with some curiosity. It seemed that she possessed investigative abilities, and he couldn't help but feel a little envious.

Lu Yuning walked aside without saying a word. He found a few blades of grass, crushed them into powder, and then fused them together again to make a cylindrical object with a diameter of two centimeters and a length of two centimeters.

Zhang Xinyue vaguely knew what he wanted to do. It was the first time that Wu Xiao saw Lu Yuning's special ability, and there was some surprise in his eyes.

Lu Yuning held the cylindrical object upright in front of him, but shook his head. He disassembled the straw cylinder and made another one, but the diameter was slightly smaller and the length was much longer. Lu Yuning nodded with satisfaction.

"Brother Lu, your special ability is amazing!" Wu Xiao watched for a long time, and probably after understanding Lu Yuning's ability, he became even more envious.

Lu Yuning smiled and said, "Yours is not bad either. You will know it later. If you use your supernatural power more often, it will gradually improve."

"Really?" Wu Xiao's eyes lit up.

"Yeah," Lu Yuning nodded affirmatively.

"Then I'll go practice more."

"No rush, take your time, there are other things to do now."

"it is good!"

Wu Xiao felt as if he had discovered a new world and was extremely happy.

He also knew the problem with his ability, which was that the things he could hold were too small and had no practical use. But if the space could grow, it would be different.

Lu Yuning had already started preparing to make the items. He called the three of them over and gave them a brief explanation.

His idea was simple: to build a circular pipe that led directly to the tree, so that he wouldn't have to worry about insects or risk going into the grass.

At first I wanted to make it higher, but later I considered that my current ability might not be able to support the production of such a large item, so I made it smaller, so that people can just lower their heads slightly inside and it is completely sufficient.

After the four of them discussed it, they took action. Lu Yuning was definitely the main producer, and the others were responsible for collecting materials.

The pipe is nearly 1.5 meters long, so the project is quite large. Lu Yuning roughly calculated that at least more than a hundred leaves are needed.

And because it was too long, they were not sure if they could move it into the grass after it was finished, so they simply did it directly in the grass. This required someone to help move the materials to Lu Yuning, and the work was completed by the other three people.

It would be great if Wu Xiao’s ability could be equipped with more things, so that the two of them could cooperate with each other perfectly, Lu Yuning couldn’t help but think.

But it is not urgently needed right now, so let him improve slowly later.

It was already noon and the materials had been almost collected. Looking at the mountain of grass leaves in front of them, everyone didn't dare to delay. Although they were so hungry, they still acted quickly.

Because Lu Yuning's abilities weren't sufficient to build something this large all at once, he had to complete it piece by piece, then build a slot connector in the middle to connect the pieces. However, this led Lu Yuning to discover a problem: making the slot connector required more effort. It seemed the more complex something was, the harder it was to make.

The four of them were busy for a while, and gradually a lot of insects crawled out of the grass. They saw a few ladybugs, small ants, and locusts, but these insects did not seem to be aggressive. It was a few mosquitoes that made them panic.

However, Lu Yuning already had enough confidence in killing mosquitoes. He killed several mosquitoes with ease. Wu Xiao was already admiring him so much that he saw stars.

Gradually, the sun set in the west again. The four of them were already exhausted, especially Lu Yuning. After overdrawing his supernatural powers many times, his head was already aching slightly, but he was becoming more and more skilled in making items.

Finally, after three hours, the tubular road finally reached under the grape vines.

Lu Yuning made the remaining materials into a disc shape and placed it on the pipe mouth to create a platform.

The four of them stood on the platform, looking at a bunch of wild grapes hanging in the air, and swallowed their saliva.

The grape vine was clinging to a small tree, and a bunch of fruits grew less than one meter from the ground. There were also some rotten grapes fallen on the ground around the tree, and some flies were flying around them.

"Let me do it." Zou Yunxin was eager to try and was ready to climb up the tree and get the fruit down. He was the strongest among the four.

Lu Yuning pulled him back and said, "I'll do it."

"No! Don't try to show off!" Zou Yunxin was a little anxious. He knew that Lu Yuning had done the most work along the way, building pipes and killing mosquitoes. He was obviously very tired, and now he had to climb trees to pick grapes. Zou Yunxin felt a little sorry for him.

"Yu Ning, you should take a rest. Let Yun Xin come. He has more physical strength." Zhang Xinyue also stepped forward to stop them.

"Yes, yes, I can do it. I didn't put in much effort just now," Wu Xiao also quickly persuaded.

Lu Yuning was a little touched, but still shook his head and said to the three people: "I'm not trying to show off, I'm the only one who can do it. You can climb up, but you may not be able to get the grapes down. You can't use your strength in the air."

The three of them were silent before they thought of this question.

Zou Yunxin scratched his hair in annoyance.

"Don't worry, I just use my supernatural powers more and I have plenty of physical strength." Lu Yuning patted Zou Yunxin's shoulder and said.

"Hey! Then you better be careful." Zou Yunxin sighed and said nothing else. He could only remind him to be careful.

"I'll leave the next two people to you. There are a lot of mosquitoes around here." Lu Yuning gave an instruction, then put the rapier behind his back and climbed up the tree.

Lu Yuning had already prepared the way to the tree in advance. The trunk of the tree was relatively rough and easy to climb. They were very strong now, so climbing a tree was very easy.

He himself didn't feel anything, but just felt a little dizzy when looking down. The three people under him were so nervous that they kept clenching their fists.

Lu Yuning climbed up smoothly and soon followed the grape vine to the top of the bunch of grapes. The three people below could only vaguely see them, as if they were waving to him.

He stood on a high place and looked at the surrounding scenery. The forest-like grass stretched as far as the eye could see, huge dragonflies were flying back and forth in the sky, the cement road not far away led quietly into the distance, and there were huge grapes under his feet. If it weren't for the dangers lurking nearby, this fantastic sight would be worth watching for a while longer.

He came to his senses and carefully jumped onto the bunch of grapes. He didn't look for the big ones, but instead specifically found a few slightly smaller fruits. Then he shouted loudly to remind everyone below to be careful.

Zhang Xinyue below heard it clearly and quickly pulled the other two into the pipe.

Seeing that most people had left, Lu Yuning pressed his hand on the root of the fruit he had picked in advance. His supernatural power was activated, and the root of the fruit shattered and then fell from the air.
