376, Lilliput 04
After the rain stopped completely, he didn't dare to rush out. He waited until the snakes in the small supermarket left, and until the accumulated water completely receded and the sun rose up the water vapor on the ground, he was ready to go out. It must be said that the weather after the rain was indeed much better. Many new plants grew on the ground. He identified some edible grasses and tore them off, chewed them and ate them to supplement nutrition. He also saw edible fungi in the corner of the wall, and happily picked them up, and poured them out to dry during the lunch break. There were still rice and other food from his original home in his storage ring. He planned to have a freshly cooked meal when he had the chance in the future.
With a beautiful expectation for life, Yu Heng continued to move forward. If he passed by some shops and felt that he needed it, he would find a way to get in. Thanks to this small body now, it was convenient to enter anywhere, allowing him to accumulate a lot of useful things.
One day, he saw a corpse in a corner of the wall, surrounded by a thick layer of flies, and each fly was as tall as him. He didn't dare to go over and took a detour.
To be honest, he hadn't met a living person yet. After the heavy rain, he had seen three corpses, two of which were drowned. The corpses were soaked and turned white. All he could do was dig a pit with iron nails to bury them. When he finally arrived at the nearest bookstore, he breathed a sigh of relief and began to scan the books - he couldn't read them, so he could only scan them all. Many of the books under the bookshelf were damaged by water and had signs of being bitten, so there were not many books that could be used, but this also kept him busy for a long time.
The days that followed were dull. He carefully avoided other large creatures and tried to make his life a little easier. He saved a lighter and matches. The lighter was really useless. The matches were found in the canteen later, and the process was also very difficult. In short, when he ate the roasted ham, he squinted with satisfaction.
A small piece of ham was roasted on the fire with a toothpick, and soon it gave off an enticing aroma. Yu Heng finished eating quickly, then extinguished the fire and hid quickly. He hid in the cupboard and listened to the sound of the ? coming in, and then left disappointedly, feeling a sense of pleasure in his heart to compete with the small animals with a keen sense of smell.
Later, he finally met living people of the same kind, most of whom were in places with food such as shopping malls, supermarkets, and canteens. After people became smaller, even a small supermarket was enough to live. They gathered there, and their appetite decreased sharply as their body size became smaller, and they could hardly finish eating.
"We don't have to worry about food before the expiration date!"
They used everything to block the gaps to prevent outside creatures from mistakenly entering and attacking, and they lived a comfortable life. Yu Heng only joined two places for a short rest for a few days, and never lived there permanently. He was afraid that his will would be worn down by such a quiet and comfortable life. Things will expire sooner or later, and will be eaten sooner or later. It's not wrong to guard such a treasure house, but you can't never go out again. When there is no food to eat in the future, it will be too late to adapt to the environment.
This kind of life lasted for a long time. Yu Heng kept remembering the time. It should be the 196th day after he left his original home. His life has undergone a huge change. If he has been at ease since he came to this world, although it is dangerous every moment and those large creatures are not friendly to humans, he can escape unscathed and occasionally use the protective shield to eat a few bites of barbecue or something.
That day he was walking on the road and had just escaped from the mouth of a giant rat. He squeezed in the crack of the wall and gasped for breath. Suddenly, the sky and the earth were dark. He felt the danger and immediately took out the mecha. The mecha supported in the crack of the wall. While climbing to the entrance, he felt dizzy and the air changed!
Halfway up, Yu Heng almost fell down. His thinking became more and more blurred. He pricked himself with a needle a few times and struggled to continue climbing. He seemed to hear the sound of animals in his ears, revealing anxiety and fear. Is something coming? !
He continued to climb almost mechanically. When he entered the cockpit of the mecha and closed the door, he had fallen into a coma. It was so uncomfortable. After it got dark, there seemed to be something in the air. Was it poison? In the chaotic and upside-down dream, Yu Heng was still thinking about this question. When he woke up, he felt that his eyes were a little blurry and everything he saw was hazy.
He felt his pulse and found that he was indeed poisoned. He dropped his limp hands and panted for a while before treating himself. This poison is not fatal. After inhalation, it will cause a comprehensive decline in body functions, muscle relaxation and weakness, and blood flow stagnation. To put it simply, it is "tired", so tired that you don't even have the strength to open your eyelids. However, it can be excreted through metabolism, and the body will recover.
It is enough for Yu Heng to thank God that it is not a fatal poison! Otherwise, all living people will not survive and mankind will be destroyed!
After detoxification, he leaned on the window to look out. Now it is still so dark outside, like the most viscous ink, and there is no light at all.
After waiting for three days, it was still like this outside, so Yu Heng started to go out. At first, he took the detoxification pill before going out, and found that he could last about four hours outside. After using his own body to study, he found that if he did not take the detoxification pill, he could only last half an hour.
Not knowing where the poisonous gas came from, Yu Heng thought that always taking the detoxification pill was not a solution. If the poisonous gas would not disappear for a long time, he needed to train his body to adapt to the air outside. The human body is very tough, and this challenge is nothing.
He began to constantly test the bottom line of his body's endurance and kept grinding. At the same time, he found that since that day, the creatures outside had become more violent and rampant, and he could hear roars and bites every day. Not only that, one day he suddenly tripped, and after two times he realized that it was the weeds on the roadside that tripped him. Looking back, the weeds had thoughts and ran back again. He pursed his lips, took out a thumbtack and made a gesture to pierce it. The weeds bent down very low and stuck to the ground. Their posture was agile and soft. Yu Heng tried several directions and finally confirmed that the weeds were indeed spiritual.
It was clearly just the most ordinary weeds. Yu Heng had some guesses, then sat down, wrapped his legs around the weeds, and started digging.
The weeds swung wildly in excitement, and the tender leaves slapped Yu Heng's face. Yu Heng was unmoved: "Since you tripped me, you just want to play with me? Don't worry, I will take you away." The grass was not tall, only three times his height. It should have just broken through the soil. Although it hurt, there were only red marks, and it did not scratch the skin. If the leaves grow longer and become harder, it is not certain.
After successfully digging up the grass, Yu Heng quickly took a plastic bag and put a bag of soil into the storage ring, then tied the grass to his back, tied it tightly and took it away. Wait until the night to rest in the mecha and untie it. At this time, the grass is much more obedient, and gently rubs him with its leaves.
Yu Heng lay on the small bed and didn't want to move. He was too tired. He had to experience this kind of fatigue several times a day, and his soul was clamoring with exhaustion. Seeing that he ignored her, the grass walked with its roots, poking around in the cockpit. When she saw him sitting up, she quickly moved over and pressed hard on him.
Without any pressure, he pushed the grass away and nodded secretly. The grass did not show any other aggressive behavior except wrapping his feet to trip him and throwing him in resistance when he dug it out. He took out the plastic bag tentatively, and the grass quickly jumped on it and stuck its roots in it, with its leaves shaking happily.
"Do you understand what I'm saying? Huh?" Yu Heng touched the grass's leaves with his hand, and in return he shook them gently. He was talking to the grass while eating, but he didn't expect to hear the rustling of the plastic bag, and the grass pulled itself out of the soil and threw itself on him - on the nutrient. He was holding the tube to drink, and the grass pushed his face away without hesitation and squeezed in with its roots covered in mud.
"Pfft!" Yu Heng spat out the muddy water that splashed into his mouth, helplessly watching the grass spill the nutrient solution, and the sticky liquid spilled all over the ground. It anxiously used its roots and leaves to gather it, and then the more it gathered, the more it spread out, and the whole grass almost lay on the ground and rubbed it hard.
Very good, very lively, very clever. He took out the biscuits again and ate them. After eating, he started to exercise, ignoring the grass sliding behind him.
Sure enough, he estimated that the overturned nutrient solution should have dried up, and the grass came to him again and poked him with the tender tip of its leaves. He pretended not to react, and then heard the sound of something sliding over the plastic bag. The grass once again stuck its roots into the soil, and its leaves drooped a little.
He wanted to laugh. Halfway through his sleep at night, he was awakened by the grass again. He closed his eyes and touched the plastic bag, and put the bag into the storage ring. In the second half of the night, he ignored the grass no matter how it tossed. The grass in its "infancy" was not enough to cause him real harm, so he wanted to tame it. Whether it was to have an extra companion to relieve his boredom or an extra helper who could be controlled and commanded by him, he wanted to give it a try.
The mutated grass was spiritual, and its living conditions seemed to have changed. Yu Heng successfully trained the grass to replenish its nutrition at the same time as himself, that is, three meals a day. Everything in the world is really magical. It soaks in soil or nutrient solution three times a day (the grass likes it the most), and can walk around with its roots pulled out for the rest of the time, full of energy! It's really a spirited little thing!
After that, when he walked around, he observed more to see if he could encounter such plants. He saw them three times, but he couldn't stand the size and attack power, let alone dig them up and carry them with him. Now the grass is tied to his back during the day, for fear that it will run away by itself. He was not feeling well outside, but the grass was very lively. The fog in the dark should be friendly to it.
In fact, the time he spent walking outside had become very short. He needed to return to the mecha before he was exhausted, and he also had to hide when he encountered dangers that he could not deal with. So he walked in the dark for a long time before he arrived at the next bookstore. This time, after arriving, he did not rush to scan the books and leave. He needed to rest. Darkness, depression and struggle, and never met other humans again, all made him a little tired, not only physically but also mentally.
Yu Heng was a little surprised at first that he was so psychologically fragile. He was a person who was used to living a lonely life. He had also experienced the days of fleeing alone. Why did he suddenly become emotional at this time? Later, he found that this emotion was the most serious when he was acting outside. After sleeping in the mecha for a night, that feeling was completely gone. At that time, he realized that fog would not only make the body weak and powerless, but also affect the spirit. Being in the fog would make people become negative and pessimistic.
As a result, after settling down in the bookstore this time, he began to regret yesterday's decision after waking up in the mecha: He was fine! Full of energy, not tired at all!
Hey, these days his thoughts have been changing. Sometimes he is too tired to move, and sometimes he feels that he can do it without difficulty. He is about to be torn apart. Even so, Yu Heng still maintains the time he spends outside the mecha every day, constantly enhancing his resistance to the environment. He dare not put all his trump cards on external tools. A person must stand on his own to be invincible.
After spending a day to empty the bookstore, he was ready to move on. The first floor of the bookstore was full of plants, and only the second floor had some open space, so he climbed down from the second floor this time. He didn't want to wade through the dense and sticky animal feces on the first floor again.
After going out, he saw the doorplate of a shopping mall. Yu Heng thought about it and decided to go in to take a look. Since it was dark and never got light again, he hadn't met any other humans.
