Survival at the end of the world: Human beings shrink 100 times at the beginning

Chapter 21
21. Fireflies at night

"What will the crickets eat inside?"

After the crisis was temporarily resolved, Mi Xiaoyu took the lead in raising a question.

"I don't know," Liu Tonghui said, "It seems that there is nothing to eat in the 'castle', right? Although it is an omnivorous insect, it doesn't just like our 'castle'-gnawing wood, right?"

"Yes! Then what is it eating there?"

This is a question that almost everyone wants to know.

"Yes, it seems that there is only Mi Xiaoyu's backpack inside. What will it eat?" Qin Yue was also quite confused.

But he did hear the sound just now.

After pondering for a while, Qin Yue then asked curiously, "Could it be that you didn't hear it just now?"

"What did you hear? I didn't hear anything." Liu Tonghui shook his head.

"I didn't hear anything, but now I seem to hear that cricket hitting the window inside." Mi Xiaoyu said excitedly.

"Qin Yue, I heard it just now. The sound was very obvious." Niu Dayong said somewhat unconvinced.

Through everyone’s dialogue.

Xia Zhiwei seemed to have thought of something, and stood up and said, "Is this related to the awakened superpower?"

After a pause, he affirmed with an emphasis, "Maybe it has something to do with the awakened superpower."

"Uh?"

Mi Xiaoyu was a little confused and said after a moment of silence, "But I also awakened my powers, why didn't I hear it?"

"Mi Xiaoyu is right, what's the reason for this?" Niu Dayong stepped forward and asked.

Qin Yue said 'hmm'.

This question seemed a bit difficult to answer, and everyone thought that Xia Zhiwei would not answer it easily this time.

They didn't even have much desire to hear her explanation. They approached the 'castle' one by one, wanting to know what to do with the imprisoned crickets next.

Of course, killing it is everyone's most immediate idea, and even killing it is not difficult.

But at this moment, Xia Zhiwei actually opened her mouth to explain.

"This may be related to the nature of the superpowers. I mean Qin Yue and Niu Dayong awakened offensive superpowers, while Mi Xiaoyu awakened non-offensive superpowers."

After hearing this, everyone's curiosity was rekindled.

"What are offensive abilities and what are non-offensive abilities?"

"Correct."

"Sister Zhiwei, are you sure? I see that you always use the word 'maybe' when you speak. It seems that you are not sure either."

Faced with everyone's questions, Xia Zhiwei did not answer directly.

Perhaps because she felt it was meaningless, she suddenly changed the topic and asked Qin Yue, "Qin Yue, what are you going to do with the cricket?"

Qin Yue replied, "It's easy. I'll make a few more holes in the castle. As long as a toothpick can penetrate it, it will die."

Obviously, Qin Yue wanted to stab it directly to death.

Mi Xiaoyu thought for a while and said anxiously, "No, no, you will pollute our 'castle'. I don't want to smell the smell of viscera as soon as I sit in it. It's too disgusting."

"What is pollution? How long has it been and you are still worried about this? Is your life more important or that one?" Niu Dayong scolded angrily.

"Listen, it seems to be eating something again!"

Qin Yue suddenly reminded.

"Uh……"

Everyone became nervous again instantly.

Following Qin Yue, he also pricked up his ears and listened, and soon heard that sound.

"what......"

Mi Xiaoyu shouted, "Is it going through my backpack?"

"Looking through your backpack?" Niu Dayong chuckled, "What's in your backpack? There's not even food. Does it want to eat your backpack?"

"No, no, I have a lot of cosmetics in there, and..."

"Cosmetics? What next?"

"My cosmetics...are edible!"

After Mi Xiaoyu said these words, she seemed to be stimulated by something for a moment. Everyone couldn't help but swallowed their saliva and instantly became energetic.

"Quick, stab it to death!"

They shouted almost in unison.

Qin Yue quickly approached the "castle" with quick hands and feet, placed his hands on it, and his brain worked quickly, imagining the appearance of a honeycomb. Then he released his mental power, and saw that the surface of the "castle" instantly became like a sieve.

"Stab it!"

Qin Yue shouted, and then thrust the weapon in his hand fiercely.

It seemed to have stabbed the hard shell, and the weapon bounced instantly. Qin Yue was a little shocked, thinking it had stabbed a stone.

But then everyone's weapons almost went into battle together, crackling, and suddenly the "castle" was beaten like a tin drum.

Pfft!

Pfft!Pfft!

Qin Yue soon heard the sound of a weapon piercing his belly, and was relieved.

This sound continued dozens of times, and Qin Yue estimated that his body was about to turn into a sieve, but everyone was still stabbing frantically, as if no one would stop and would never stop.

"Is it okay? It's all turned into meat."

Niu Dayong muttered sourly.

He was holding a sledgehammer and had no use for it, so he kept watching with envy as everyone wildly unleashed wild surnames.

"It seems... he is dead!"

Liu Tonghui said as if he remembered it.

Afterwards, everyone stopped one after another.

At this time, there was indeed a strong fishy smell wafting out from the pores of the "castle".

Qin Yue couldn't hold it in and retched twice.

"Oh my god! This thing smells like shit!" Niu Dayong muttered.

"Bah bah bah..."

"I just said it, it's good now, how can anyone live here?" Mi Xiaoyu said angrily.

"Don't you have laundry detergent?" Niu Dayong said.

"Can laundry detergent remove that smell so easily?" Mi Xiaoyu pouted.

"Everyone, stop making noise!"

Liu Tonghui suddenly raised his voice and said, "What do you think that is?"

He said and pointed forward.

It looks like a small flower bed, with stars shining among the flowers, so bright and dazzling in the dark night.

Niu Dayong was the first to look over curiously.

He said in shock, "Is the street light on?"

"It doesn't seem like a street light."

Qin Yue took a look and said.

"Could it be—"

Xia Zhiwei also became excited, but before she could finish her words, Mi Xiaoyu blurted out, "That's a firefly."

"Yes, it's a firefly!"

The crowd cheered in unison.

It seemed that at this moment, a small match was lit in everyone's heart.

"I didn't expect this firefly to be so bright!"

Looking at the illuminated area, Niu Dayong couldn't help but sigh.

Mi Xiaoyu suddenly became very imaginative, "How about we go over and catch one."

In the dark night, the desire for light is almost human instinct.

But at this time, everyone was hesitating, as if they were still frightened by the cricket just now. Only Qin Yue stood up actively.

"This is a good idea. Put it in the "castle" for lighting, and it can be used as a light bulb."

As he said that, he took the initiative to trot towards the place where the light was shining.

"Qin Yue, wait for me!"

Mi Xiaoyu shouted, chasing after him.

"Don't come over here, stay there and don't move. I'll be back soon." Qin Yue turned around and warned.

But Mi Xiaoyu didn't care what he said and continued to chase him.

"Dayong, go and pull her back," Xia Zhiwei reminded.

Niu Dayong rushed out immediately. He moved quickly and quickly. In the blink of an eye, he appeared behind Mi Xiaoyu. He grabbed her arm and comforted her softly: "Xiaoyu, go back quickly. The road is very dangerous."

"Niu Dali...what are you doing?" Mi Xiaoyu was a little impatient and pushed Niu Dayong.

"Sister Zhiwei asked us to go back and not cause trouble to Qin Yue."

"What can be the trouble?"

As soon as he finished speaking, something unknown flew past the ears of Mi Xiaoyu and Niu Dayong.

Something like a knife instantly cut Niu Dayong's cheek. Although it was not serious, Niu Dayong felt as if he had just saved his life.

If he was hit directly by that thing, the consequences would be disastrous.

Niu Dayong felt that his face might be penetrated directly.

Almost at this moment, Mi Xiaoyu and Niu Dayong were both shocked, and a chill pierced their bones.

Fortunately, Niu Dayong reacted quickly and immediately hugged Mi Xiaoyu and turned back.
