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

Chapter 47 Reasonable Doubt

47. Reasonable suspicion

In the face of a catastrophe, reunion seems to have become a lot more luxurious.

When Qin Yue returned in triumph for the first time, everyone was very happy because Qin Yue solved everyone's thirst problem in time.

But this time Qin Yue's triumphant return had nothing to do with thirst or hunger, it was completely a sense of security.

As long as he comes back alive and safe, it is better than all food and water.

With the help of everyone, a cart of food was carried back.

Seeing the large chunks of bread stacked up like a stack of children's building blocks, everyone's sense of security suddenly skyrocketed to a peak.

"Oh my god! This bread is enough for us to eat for several months!" Mi Xiaoyu jumped up happily.

"I think we can eat it for at least three months." Liu Xiaoye also stood up and gave a speech happily.

Liu Tonghui looked at the outer packaging bag, frowned involuntarily, and said to himself, "I didn't expect the shelf life of this thing is only fifteen days!"

"Uh?"

Mi Xiaoyu instantly became depressed.

"Yes, their shelf life is only fifteen days." Xia Zhiwei said with a solemn expression, "However, fifteen days is already very good, and during these times, we might find other food? Of course. We can’t just eat bread every day! If this continues for a long time, people with weak stomachs will definitely not be able to bear it.”

"Yes, Sister Zhiwei is right, we must find some other food instead."

Afterwards, Mi Xiaoyu gradually regained her expression.

He jumped up to Qin Yue and said in a cooing voice, "Qin Yue, I really want to taste what it tastes like. In the past two days, I feel like a bird can come out of my mouth."

Qin Yue smiled and said, "Okay, I'll open it now."

After saying that, he looked around at everyone.

Everyone looked at Qin Yue very seriously, as if Qin Yue had brought back all the bread alone.

Only Niu Dayong was quietly left alone, and no one spoke to him.

In the past, Mi Xiaoyu was more proactive and liked to chat with him. Now Mi Xiaoyu seems too lazy to talk to him, maybe she hasn't noticed him yet.

Right in front of him, as if he wanted to show some kind of skill, Qin Yue picked up his spear and stabbed at the packaging bag of a large bag of bread.

In an instant, the bread was pierced, and a super fragrant butter smell spurted out, as if a moving bullet directly hit everyone's olfactory cells.

"Wow! It smells so good!"

Mi Xiaoyu closed her eyes slightly and praised with an exaggerated expression.

Indeed, Liu Xiaoye, Xia Zhiwei and the others were instantly attracted by the strong aroma of the brain, and they all parted their noses to inhale the fresh smell frantically.

"Where's the plate?" Qin Yue called jokingly.

"Here comes the plate."

Liu Tonghui was the first to rush to Qin Yue and handed over the plate.

Without saying a word, Qin Yue used the spoon on the plate to scrape a few large spoonfuls and put them on the plate like cake. Liu Tonghui said thank you and then ate it with big mouthfuls.

Mi Xiaoyu suddenly said "Ah" as if she was angry. The next moment, she hurriedly ran to the table to bring a plate and handed it to Qin Yue.

Qin Yue followed suit and served her a full plate. Mi Xiaoyu thanked her and took it in her hand. She smiled at Xia Zhiwei and Liu Xiaoye and said, "Look, they are still intoxicated there!"

Qin Yue chuckled and shouted to the two of them.

Then they came to their senses and ran to the table to get their plates.

Qin Yue filled their plates with some operations.His eyes shifted to Niu Dayong, "Hey, what about you?"

Niu Dayong covered his stomach and said with a look of disgust, "No, no, I'm full."

Qin Yue shook his head, ignored him, and took a plate and filled it for himself.

In this way, everyone ate happily for a while. Then, Xia Zhiwei's sharp eyes saw something. She walked up to Qin Yue and asked curiously, "Qin Yue, what is that of yours?"

Qin Yue looked at the spear on the ground and explained with a smile, "When we came back, we met people from No. [-] Middle School. Fortunately, they didn't attack us. After we walked far away, one of them shot me with an arrow. But it was stopped by my wooden shield.”

He didn't talk about the assassination of a man.

When Xia Zhiwei heard this, her face showed a hint of worry.

He turned around and looked at Qin Yue and Niu Dayong carefully.

Niu Dayong seemed to have seen Xia Zhiwei's concerns, patted his chest and smiled, "Sister Zhiwei, look at me, I'm fine, not even a single hair is missing."

"Me too, they didn't make things difficult for us," Qin Yue agreed casually, "pulling arrows and shooting at us, I think they were testing our abilities."

"Oh."

Xia Zhiwei seemed a little relieved.

However, his attention shifted to the exquisitely crafted arrow.

After a while, she asked again, "Is this arrow from the other side?"

"Yes," Qin Yue said, "I suspect that people in No. [-] Middle School may be able to smelt technology, or that they have some kind of powerful ability."

He didn't say this to Niu Dayong, because he knew that even if he told him, it would be useless.

But if you tell Xia Zhiwei, the effect may be different.

After Xia Zhiwei pondered for a moment, she said in a deep voice, "You are right, if they have mastered the smelting technology, they must have mastered fire. There is no doubt about this. Of course, besides that, it is possible, as you said, They have some kind of powerful ability."

Xia Zhiwei seemed to be hiding something in the last sentence.

This made Qin Yue even more confused and uneasy.

For a moment, he wanted to say that he had learned another skill, but he was too embarrassed to speak at this time.

But Xia Zhiwei pondered for a moment, and then said, "If it doesn't work out, the powers they have are the same as yours, but they already have the ability to control the iron element."

After saying this, everyone who was enjoying the delicious food stopped eating and stared at Xia Zhiwei in disbelief.

In fact, as long as there are people with more powerful abilities than them in the outside world, they will be frightened. In the face of this catastrophe, human beings are not only facing the threat of the harsh environment, but also the threat of various insects. Facing a credit crisis.

Just from the face-to-face encounter with a few people from No. [-] Middle School, it can be seen that it is difficult to establish a direct relationship of trust between people.

Unless they are people who are very familiar with each other, there may be something to talk about when they meet. Meeting strangers is sometimes more terrifying than meeting a big beetle.

Seeing Xia Zhiwei say this herself, Mi Xiaoyu suddenly felt unwilling and argued, "What's wrong with them being able to control the iron element? At most they can only make iron weapons. Although Qin Yue can control the wood element, he can't You can make weapons, and some wood is stronger than iron!"

Obviously, the vinegar smell in these words is quite strong.

But it inexplicably increased everyone’s psychological burden.

Just when everyone thought that the other party was extremely powerful, Xia Zhiwei spoke.

"Of course, I just assumed. Maybe, as Qin Yue said, they may have just mastered the application of fire. As long as there is fire, there will naturally be smelting technology."

Having said this, she deliberately walked to the spear on the ground, pointed to a place with rough workmanship, and said, "Look, although this arrow doesn't look like much, in fact, if you look closely, there are quite a few on it. There are some flaws and some burrs, which shows that they only made it reluctantly, and to put it mildly, it is actually only half-baked."
