Doomsday: Humanity shrinks 100 times

Chapter 142 Salvage
The thing in front of them looked very familiar, and when they thought of the bag of instant noodles next to them, they quickly knew what it was.

Instant noodle seasoning packet.

Everyone was delighted. If this thing was intact, their food supply would be greatly improved.

They are located inland and in a park, so it is difficult to find things in nature from which to extract salt.

If it is a coastal area, salt can be extracted by drying seawater, or it can be extracted by boiling some marine plants.

However, there is really nothing we can do in the park. Even if we want to make salt chemically, there are no materials.

So if the package in front of them is intact, it would be good news for them.

Although they now eat wild vegetables and their bodies are not lacking in salt, the taste of the food is really bland.

No matter what, you still have to fish it out and confirm it first.

There are currently three things to be salvaged: a glass wine bottle, plastic slippers, and this seasoning packet.

Thinking backwards, let’s get the seasoning packet out first.

The main reason is that it is smaller in size and weight, so it is relatively easier to carry.

This package looks to be about five or six centimeters long and wide, so Wu Xiao should be able to fit it in his space.

So just let Wu Xiao go over and install it, but it is still a very dangerous behavior.

Someone suggested cutting down the plants along the shore and letting them lie in the water so that people could walk across.

However, this would hinder the salvage of the glass, so the proposal was rejected.

In the end, Lu Yuning decided to build a suspended bridge along the river interceptor. Although this is more troublesome, it is safer.

And it will be useful if you come here to salvage something later.

After the bridge was completed, Wu Xiao quickly put the seasoning package into the space.

The two were still somewhat nervous, as with their current body size they could easily be caught by the tension of the water.

If the river is flowing fast, you may be sucked into the water in an instant.

Fortunately, Wu Xiao's ability now has a controllable range, so he doesn't need to reach out and touch it directly.

After putting away the seasoning packet, Lu Yuning prepared to put the winch rope he had prepared on the glass bottle.

This is also a relatively difficult job. With a small body size, many things that seem easy to do become extremely difficult.

The main reason is that the bottle is not still in the water, and it is difficult to handle when it is constantly shaking.

In the end, Lu Yuning decided to jump directly onto the bottle. Although several people objected, there was really no better way.

However, in order to ensure his own safety, Lu Yuning tied a safety rope around himself.

The mouth of this bottle is facing upwards and the bottom is relatively heavy.

After getting ready, Lu Yuning looked at the bottle floating up and down, and when the time was right, he jumped on it.

After Lu Yuning jumped up, the people by the river breathed a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, the glass bottle looked a bit slippery, and the entire bottle was tilted. Lu Yuning slipped and fell directly on the bottle.

Then he began to slide into the water.

Lu Yuning had thought of this situation, so he quickly took out some spider silk material from his body, put it on his hands, and then pressed down hard with both hands to stop the downward trend.

This action scared the people on the shore so much that their hands and feet turned cold.

Wu Xiao, who was holding a safety rope on the bridge, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Lu Yuning breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down.

He looked down into the water. The river was very deep, but because the water was very clear, he could see the bottom of the river clearly.

But he didn't dare to look at it anymore, mainly because he felt his megalophobia was coming on.

Moreover, the flowing water and the constantly floating and sinking bottles make people feel dizzy.

He adjusted his sight, ignoring the river water below, and quickly tied the plastic on his body to the bottle, leaving one end exposed to hang the winch hook on it.

After everything was done, Lu Yuning did not dare to hesitate and quickly jumped back. Everyone then breathed a sigh of relief.

The two of them quickly reached the shore, and Liu Rui and the other two surrounded them.

Looking at everyone's excited eyes, Wu Xiao quickly took out the seasoning packet from the space. "The packaging looks good, so there shouldn't be any water in it, right?"

Xia Fei patted the plastic packaging in front of him and asked curiously.

Lu Yuning nodded and said, "Judging from the way it floats, it should be intact. And this river should be cleaned regularly, so it shouldn't be expired. We're lucky. It's not easy to get seasoning in the park."

Everyone was drooling. They were used to eating seasoned food, and life after the apocalypse was really hard to adapt to.

If they weren't busy right now, they would have wanted to tear open the package and taste the salt.

Wu Xiao put the bag of precious seasoning away again and prepared for the next task.

The winch rope had been connected, and five people stood beside the winch and put their hands on the roller.

After shrinking, their strength was still quite strong. At least the four people before Lu Yuning could lift more than ten grams of wild vegetables.

So according to speculation, this winch in front of us should be able to be pushed, but it will probably take some effort.

Sure enough, after the rope was tightened, everyone felt a huge force on their hands.

The wheel began to turn slowly, the lock started to work, and the bottle slowly approached the shore under the pull of the winch.

Seeing this, the five people put all their efforts into starting the salvage work.

After a while, the five people sat on the ground exhausted, and the bottle was finally pulled to the shore by several people.

However, after it leaned against the shore, it lost its buoyancy and could not move forward even with the help of the winch.

Everyone had no choice but to give up.

However, after the bottle was anchored and secured, Lu Yuning could deal with it.

Lu Yuning thought about it and rushed to the shore. He took care of the surrounding plants and then built a platform where the bottle was stranded.

It looks like I'll be visiting this place often in the future, so I might as well build a salvage station here.

After the crude salvage site was completed, everyone gathered around the glass bottle.

This is indeed a bottle of white wine, but it is basically empty, with only a little liquid left.

This must be wine.

Lu Yuning walked forward carefully, reached out to open the bottle, and a strong aroma of wine immediately came out.

Although he didn't like drinking, the smell of alcohol still made him feel happy.

The air was soon filled with the smell of alcohol. The four onlookers sniffed hard, looking as if they were in another world.

The mouth of the bottle was wide enough, so Lu Yuning thought about it and went straight in to collect all the remaining liquor.

Although it doesn't look like much in the bottle, a full 2cm has been collected.

After collecting the liquid, Lu Yuning placed his hand on the glass bottle with confidence. As his supernatural power was activated, the glass shards fell off smoothly.

The purpose of this trip was successfully accomplished.

In the end, Lu Yuning decided to fish out the slipper.

This gives them two more materials, glass and rubber.

The salvage work was quite time-consuming. After the two items were salvaged, it was already afternoon.

Everyone ate some of the food they brought with them and sat down to discuss it further.

"Should we go somewhere else or go to the Bird's Nest?"

"Isn't it very dangerous?" Han Yingying frowned when she heard Liu Rui's suggestion.

"What did Yu Ning say?"

Lu Yuning seemed to be thinking, but when he heard someone calling him, his thoughts were pulled back: "Bird's Nest... I still have to go there, but I also want to take a look around here." Lu Yuning pointed to the stream in front of him.

“Will there still be garbage downstream?”

"I'm not sure, but this stream... there should be fish, right? The water is shallow here, and the current isn't fast. If the location is right, I'm thinking about building a harbor for fishing, and using a winch to pull the fish up..."
