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

Chapter 35 Extravagant Operation
35. Luxurious operation

After eating and drinking for a while, everyone finally became leisurely.

It seemed like there was nothing to do for a while, except talking and laughing without any sense.

"Are we just going to sit here until the sun goes down?"

Liu Tonghui glanced at everyone present and asked seriously.

Before shrinking, he was a very busy man and could hardly take a moment to rest. Now that he suddenly had some leisure time, he seemed to be a bit unaccustomed to it.

Mi Xiaoyu chatted and joked with Qin Yue and the others for a while, and finally fell silent because they were really bored.

It was about two or three o'clock at noon, when the sun was scorching hot, and a heat wave floated in the air from time to time, making those who sprayed it feel a little drowsy.

From somewhere nearby, the continuous chirping of cicadas made everyone’s ears hurt.

"Let's take a short rest. Liu Xiaoye and I will go for another run."

Qin Yue suddenly remembered and explained, "Actually, Liu Xiaoye and I found these dry noodles and water on the way. We haven't had time to go to the supermarket yet, and we don't know what the situation is now."

Facing Qin Yue's words, Liu Tonghui did not comment.

But he was very happy. It seemed that he had succeeded in provoking an important topic, which was much better than the useless banter just now.

Xia Zhiwei pondered for a moment and said, "That's okay. Anyway, the food in our 'castle' is far from enough, and the drinking water is also very tight. No one knows what will happen next. The sooner we find more food and water, the better we can The more proactive we are, the better plans we have will not be easily disrupted, otherwise we would be too passive in search of food and water.”

"What Sister Zhiwei said is that we still have to go to the supermarket." Liu Xiaoye said seriously.

At this moment, Mi Xiaoyu looked at the slightly swaying wooden net above her head and suddenly interjected, "Are the fireflies thirsty?"

Everyone's attention instantly shifted to the top of their heads, where they saw the fireflies crawling around, as if trying to escape from the wooden net.

"It should be an adult firefly." Xia Zhiwei tried to say.

"Then what does it eat?" Mi Xiaoyu asked curiously.

"As far as I know, this firefly mainly drinks some dew, just like cicadas."

"Can you stay full just by drinking water?" Mi Xiaoyu felt a little incredible.

"That's right, until the day I die."

"All right!"

Mi Xiaoyu suddenly felt sympathy for the big guy in front of her. As she spoke, she immediately stood up and scooped some water with a wooden spoon before feeding it to him.

Xia Zhiwei quickly stood up and stopped her, saying, "Be careful, have you seen it? There is an anesthetic in its straw, so be careful of getting stabbed."

"Oh?"

Mi Xiaoyu was stunned.

"Really? Sister Zhiwei? I always thought that thin tube was for drinking water." Liu Xiaoye looked over curiously and asked.

"Drinking water is one thing, but the main thing is to use it to inject the anesthetic in the body into the prey until the prey is unconscious."

Xia Zhiwei explained in a loud voice, "Of course, in addition, the tube will also spray out a rare digestive enzyme, which can directly digest the prey's body into a puddle of mud. When eating, it will use the straw again Inhale the digested body into your stomach."

"Good guy! I didn't expect there to be such cruel animals in this world!" Niu Dayong sighed.

"Aren't you cruel when you eat meat?" Mi Xiaoyu said casually.

Seeing this, Xia Zhiwei hurriedly added, "I missed something just now. Let me add that fireflies actually eat some snails, conches and other small animals. They will first use the straw to anesthetize the snails, and then inject digestive enzymes into the snails. When the snail is dissolved into a puddle of mud inside its body, it finally sucks it through a straw, which is probably what it looks like.”

Mi Xiaoyu, Niu Dayong and others all looked at the fireflies curiously, as if the scenes Xia Zhiwei mentioned were playing out in front of their eyes.

Mi Xiaoyu took a deep breath, and then carefully brought the water in the spoon to the firefly.

"Little darling! Drink quickly and don't prick me with your straw! Otherwise, sister, I will be angry..."

He said soothingly while pouring water onto the wooden net.

The firefly first looked at it with wide round eyes alertly, then slowly stretched out the long straw on its head and plunged into the water in the spoon.

"Wow! Look, it's drinking water!"

Mi Xiaoyu screamed.Everyone stood up immediately and looked sideways.

Seeing the fireflies drinking sweetly, everyone couldn't help but feel hungry and thirsty.

"Ah hey! Why do I feel a little thirsty?" Niu Dayong tried to say.

"If you want to drink, just scoop it out yourself! Are you a firefly? Do you want me to feed you?" Mi Xiaoyu unknowingly insulted the mentally fragile Niu Dayong.

"Hey, Mi Xiaoyu, are you deliberately trying to make things difficult for me?" Niu Dayong took a step forward and said angrily.

"Haha, I don't have time to joke with people like you!" Mi Xiaoyu snorted coldly.

Niu Dayong took a few breaths and said sternly, "Mi Xiaoyu, didn't I accidentally say some nasty words to you a few hours ago! Do you think you can keep raising this secret issue with me?"

"Before shrinking, I thought you looked human-like, but after shrinking, I didn't expect that you were no longer human!"

"Then what am I?" Niu Dayong seemed to be relying on his old age.

Mi Xiaoyu looked Niu Dayong up and down and snorted, "Don't you know what you are?"

This is so meaningful.

Xia Zhiwei actually came over and had a serious negotiation.

"Mi Xiaoyu, don't insult others casually. Let's just chat. You don't want to utter dirty words!"

"I didn't say anything to him!" Mi Xiaoyu said a little aggrievedly.

"alright!"

Liu Tonghui walked by and said, "From now on, Xiaoyu, you and Dayong don't talk. Whoever speaks first will be——"

After thinking for a while, Liu Tonghui added, "Anyway, you two should stop talking from now on."

"Whoever says it is a dog!" Niu Dayong said.

Mi Xiaoyu continued, "I would rather tell Firefly!"

Afterwards, both of them remained silent.

Niu Dayong picked up the spoon from the table and walked to the bucket.

Mi Xiaoyu put the spoon on the table, unintentionally smoothed her tangled bangs with her hands, and suddenly said as if thinking of it, "Oh! How about I go get some shampoo, I can't stand this hair." .”

Although she knew that everyone's water resources were very tight right now, she still couldn't help but speak out casually like her 'eldest lady'.

"Ah! Haha...it's the end of the world, who's going to wash their hair!"

Liu Tonghui was so excited by Mi Xiaoyu's shocking sayings that he couldn't help but say something.

Mi Xiaoyu said sadly, "I sometimes feel that we are no longer human beings, but I always want to live like humans."

There was some confusion about what he said, but it seemed to hit Qin Yue somewhere.

For a moment, Qin Yue suddenly wanted to cry.

He took over the conversation and said loudly, "Wash it, I agree!"

It seemed that Liu Tonghui was also shaken. He scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Okay, it's a good thing for a little girl to be clean."

Niu Dayong looked back at Mi Xiaoyu, as if he had never seen her sentimental side before.

For a moment, I felt inexplicably distressed!

Liu Xiaoye was fine a moment ago, but suddenly, a few tears flashed in her eyes, and she hurriedly raised her head high.

This also seemed to attract Xia Zhiwei's attention, and she followed up and said, "If you can't help but want to wash it, just wash it! As a girl, I can understand it very well."

She seemed quite calm at this time. Even though she said this, everyone could tell that she was also very helpless.

Just when everyone thought that the lady in front of her was about to take out her signature shampoo, went to the bucket and scooped up a large basin of water to perform her extravagant operation, but at the next moment she said softly:
"Forget it, I just suddenly remembered it."

Then, he burst into laughter.
