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

Chapter 57 Laugh at my madness
57. Laugh at my madness

Half an hour later, they walked along the bottom of the supermarket shelves and came to the grain and oil section in the dark.Each of them was very cautious, leaving no sound wherever they walked.

It's night now, it's almost invisible here, and the air is filled with the pungent smell of various soy sauces, vinegars and other pungent seasonings.

There also seemed to be a faint rancid smell.

"Is this the grain and oil area?"

Niu Dayong asked curiously, while sneezing twice wildly.

"Yes, this is the bottom of the supermarket, and of course it is also the most dangerous place." Tang Chunyan said in a deep voice.

"Huh?" Niu Dayong couldn't help sneezing again.

"Okay! Dayong, you'd better cover your mouth and stop saying a few words." Qin Yue was a little impatient.

Tang Chunyan went under the shelf in the dark and found a hiding place to hide. Qin Yue and Niu Dayong also hid.

"Niu Dayong, do you want to know why this place is the most dangerous?" Tang Chunyan asked mysteriously.

Niu Dayong covered his mouth and reluctantly made a "hmm" sound in his throat.

Tang Chunyan explained, "It's because there are more rats here. Of course, I'm talking about normal times. As for now, I don't know, but I guess the number of rats will double now because no one will scare them. "

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a strange "squeaking" sound from the place opposite them.

"Is it the rat that's barking?" Qin Yue asked curiously.

"Yes, I suspect a mouse may have fallen into the rice vat."

Tang Chunyan said calmly, "Listen, it should be very anxious now. Its two claws are constantly scratching the stainless steel wall. The 'squeak' sound it made just now may actually be a cry for help. It is a mouse asking for help." Companions asked for help.”

"Then why are we here?"

Niu Dayong asked, because there were many dark places near the shelves, so they could hide anywhere.

Tang Chunyan then took the trouble to explain, "I just said that this is the most dangerous place, so on the contrary, this is also the safest place, right?"

"Ok?"

Niu Dayong was a little confused.

Qin Yue said nothing and listened quietly.

"When I was getting along with people from No. [-] Middle School, they said that they rarely come to the grain and oil area because there are swarms of rats here. After we shrink, our entire body may not be as big as a mouse's paw. , then, what will be the consequences of being stepped on by a mouse?"

After a slight pause, he continued, "Also, there are plastic boards stained with rats everywhere around here. They are like traps. If we accidentally step on them, I am afraid that no matter how strong you are, you will not be able to escape." "

Speaking of this, Niu Dayong couldn't help but feel cold in his heart.

It even felt like there was a trap under my feet.

Tang Chunyan went on to say, "But you don't have to worry, I know where all these rat-stained rubber sheets are located."

"Oh, that's fine."

Niu Dayong breathed a sigh of relief, "Otherwise, in this dark place, not only if you get lost, but if you accidentally step on the rubber-stained board, you will really lose more than you gain."

"So, this is why those people from No. [-] Middle School don't come here easily."

"All right!"

Then, it seemed that a group of mice really ran past them.

Moreover, some of the mice were chirping, as if talking to other mice.

Qin Yue often heard this kind of sound when he was in the orphanage. Because the environment in the orphanage was so bad, many children did not bother to pay attention to hygiene. There is a big urinal for all the children to pee, so at night, rats will come out in groups to look for food. They chatter and swim around on the ground like a group of bandits, eating the cores. When they are thirsty, they climb up to the urinal and drink urine. At this time, some naughty children will deliberately tap the bed railing and make a violent noise, which will scare these mice and run around like crazy. As for the mouse that had just drank urine, it accidentally fell into the urinal and drowned...

Although many years have passed since these scenes, Qin Yue still remembers them fresh.

It even suddenly seemed like I was back in those miserable years.

Now that he met this group of rats, he didn't have the sense of panic that a normal person should have.After a moment of silence, Qin Yue asked, "Sister Tang, do you have to wait until your sister is rescued before leaving here?"

As soon as these words came out, Niu Dayong immediately sounded alert.

"Yes, my parents passed away a long time ago. In this world, I am the only one left with my biological sister. You said that if I don't save her, what's the point of living like this?"

Tang Chunyan said seriously, with a hint of crying in her words.

Although Qin Yue could not feel that kind of strong family affection, he could still understand Tang Chunyan's intentions based on basic human feelings. After all, in the face of this catastrophe, if he were an ordinary person, he would probably go crazy. People are scared to death of even an ant.

What's the point of living?
Of course, maybe they are just students now, and they don't know much about some things in society, so it is normal for them not to feel the deep sisterly love.

Now that Tang Chunyan had made up his mind, Qin Yue felt that he was powerless to persuade him.

After all, in terms of age, he is nearly one round younger than her. In terms of social experience, he is far from qualified. In terms of life insights, perhaps he is still stuck in the textbooks he has learned, and his teachers may not have taught him.

Therefore, do not persuade others to do good without suffering others' suffering.

Qin Yue was also very sensible and could only nod his head in acquiescence.

Tang Chunyan choked up twice, and then asked with concern, "Qin Yue, Niu Dayong, you promised me, you can't go back on it!"

After a pause, he quickly added, "As I said, as long as you can rescue my sister, I will definitely take you out of Fulai Supermarket. I am more familiar with this place than anyone else. Even with my eyes closed, I can see it." I can go out, so I hope you can believe me, and I hope you can understand my heart."

When Tang Chunyan said this, Niu Dayong, who was originally as hard as iron, hesitated a little.

He could even understand why Qin Yue was so hesitant.

Of course, in the eyes of the two of them, Tang Chunyan is not only affectionate and righteous, but also smart and calm. There seems to be Xia Zhiwei's shadow in her body.

Qin and Yue even doubted whether she was possessed by Xia Zhiwei.

Afterwards, everyone was silent again.

Listened to the carnival of mice for a while.

Niu Dayong suddenly asked again, "Sister Tang, what about the other people in your store? I mean, are there any of them who have awakened powerful powers?"

After thinking about it, Tang Chunyan said in a deep voice, "It seems that except for our boss who has awakened the power of running very fast, there is nothing particularly powerful. As for me, it seems that I have only awakened the power of strong memory. But they are no match for those in the First Middle School. They can only run for their lives all day long. My sisters don’t seem to have awakened any powers. Maybe, maybe, but there is one, her name is Song Li, it seems. What she awakened was the power of night vision. She said she could see everything clearly at night. Of course, she was just talking, and we don’t know the details. However, she has been arrested by people from No. [-] Middle School, and there is another one named Li Yena. Yes, as I said before, she awakened the ability to control electricity and was arrested by people from No. [-] Middle School. We don’t know whether they are dead or alive."

Tang Chunyan said so much in one breath.

But Niu Dayong only heard one thing, and that was their boss, who had awakened the power of running fast.

So Niu Dayong asked curiously, "How fast does your boss run?"

Niu Dayong felt that he was running very fast now, and so far, no one he had seen could outrun him, not even Qin Yue.

"Whoosh." Tang Chunyan described it with great exaggeration.

"Huh? What did you say?" Niu Dayong looked confused.

"I mean, he ran really fast and disappeared in a flash."

"Isn't this teleportation?" Qin Yue said seriously.

He seemed to have heard about this ability from Xia Zhiwei, but of course it was just hearsay.

However, he believed it at this moment.

"I don't know what teleportation is, but my boss runs really fast."

Tang Chunyan said with great emotion, "Before he awakened his powers, he was very good to all of us, and even stood up to fight with ants to protect us. But after he awakened his powers, his whole person changed. Don’t care about us, but——”

"But what?" Niu Dayong asked.

"But it seems like he's mentally disturbed."

Tang Chunyan explained, "I guess it's because his wife and son died. Of course, his wife and son died after shrinking, and he seemed to be fine. Even after he awakened his powers, it seemed that He started to go a little crazy. He ran around in the supermarket like an invisible man all day long. He kept talking nonsense, saying that we had embezzled his money, that his accounts were not reconciled, that we had misled him. He took things away from the supermarket and so on. In short, I feel that he may be really crazy."
