Doomsday: Humanity shrinks 100 times

Chapter 162 Insect Crystal
At this time, there were two figures in the square, one in front and one behind. The man in front was short and looked a little embarrassed. He looked around while running, as if looking for something, with an anxious look on his face.

The person behind him followed him slowly, but there was a scary-looking insect beside him, which turned out to be a centipede.

"Let's see where you can run to. Hand over the insect crystal obediently, and I'll make your death less horrible."

"Dream on, you short-sighted people."

"Haha, your boss is gone, and you two good-for-nothings are left, and you still want us to obey you?"

The shorter man said, "So you are short-sighted. It's pointless to keep fighting over this godforsaken place. You might as well find a way to come back to the settlement with us."

"Tsk~ So what if I go back? I'll still be treated like a dog by you guys."

The short man showed disdain: "It's the law of the jungle. If you have the ability, you will naturally be valued."

"Just take care of yourself. You've had enough fun, and it's time for you to die."

"You idiot! That noise just now clearly triggered some device. You still don't understand why I ran this way?"

The man behind him was stunned for a moment, his face suddenly filled with uncertainty: "You, you have an accomplice?"

The short man ignored him and suddenly shouted: "Save me, I know you are here"

It was quiet all around, with only the rustling sound of the centipede crawling quickly on the ground.

"I have insect crystals in my hand. I am willing to join for free if you can save me." Seeing that no one agreed, the dwarf seemed a little anxious.

With an anxious look on his face, he saw a big tree on the right side of the square, gritted his teeth and ran straight towards it.

It's just that the way he moved was very strange. It was more like sliding than running, but his sliding speed was extremely fast. This was also the reason why he barely managed to avoid being caught up by the people behind him.

The figures of two people gradually appeared in Lu Yuning's field of vision, and he actually knew the short man in front of him.

Although she was not too sure, Lu Yuning was impressed by his special abilities.

Friction control.

At that time, they were intercepted by the leader of the outsiders, and the four people behind him were moving by sliding forward in this way.

Lu Yuning hesitated for a moment, but ultimately remained silent.

It was obvious that the short man was calling for help from them, but he didn't know the exact location of Lu Yuning and the others, so he could only shout to try to attract their attention.

"I know where the nearby jump tree is, and there's some information you don't know."

The voices were getting more urgent, and the centipede behind him was getting closer and closer.

"I know what your ability is, save me." His voice was a little hoarse.

The person chasing him hesitated after realizing there was someone here, but when he saw that he was about to catch up, he gritted his teeth and urged the centipede to catch up, but he stopped and made a gesture as if he was ready to run away at any time.

He must have special abilities and his movement speed is very fast, but it is still a little slower than the short man.

The short man seemed to have reached the limit of his ability. He suddenly tripped and fell to the ground, a look of despair on his face. At this moment, a figure suddenly jumped down from the air, throwing out a ball of something in his hand, which quickly unfolded and covered him and the centipede that was chasing him.

Both of them were shocked by the sudden scene, and the shorter man looked surprised.

The man chasing him was horrified. Without thinking, he ran away, but suddenly a thin arrow shot out from the air and hit him squarely in the back.

Then he fell to the ground with a scream, and a smell of burnt protein filled the air. It was obvious that he was no longer alive.

The centipede on the ground looked scary, but it was not very big and looked different from the insects that fed the group of outsiders.

After the man died, the centipede did not become violent, but still pounced on the short man, but its body was stuck in the spider silk and it could not move.

The short man slid out of the spider web and stayed away from the centipede. However, he didn't dare to move anymore. He squatted on the ground with his hands on his head.

It was Lu Yuning who took action. Although he hesitated for a while, after hearing what the short man said, he still took action to rescue the man.

He had never mentioned it to anyone since he awakened his second superpower, but this person actually spoke it out directly. Lu Yuning was surprised.

He walked up to the shorter man and was about to ask him a question when he spoke first, "My name is Zhang Muyan. I'm an outsider. You've seen me before. The man chasing me is from Fuxing. He killed me because he wanted the insect crystals, which are these."

Zhang Muyan finished speaking in one breath, quickly took out a white crystal from his arms and threw it directly to Lu Yuning.

Lu Yunnan took the thing, looked at it curiously, and then put it away.

"Tell me one thing at a time. You know why I saved you."

This man named Zhang Muyan looked very smart. Lu Yuning didn't say much, believing that he already understood.

Zhang Muyan nodded and pondered for a moment as if he was organizing his thoughts.

"Calling myself an outsider is a bit awkward. The name of our settlement is Chong. Anyway, Chong and Fuxing fought a great battle, and Fuxing was ultimately defeated, so we had no choice but to surrender to Chong."

Lu Yuning was a little impatient: "You should know that one of your companions was captured by us before, so, say something useful, otherwise you will end up like him."

After saying that, he pointed to the dead pursuer not far away.

Zhang Muyan's expression changed. He knew that the young man in front of him was not threatening him, but really had murderous intentions. He quickly adjusted his mood and then said, "Blood Blade...Oh, Blood Blade is the mantis. After its sponsor died, Fuxing naturally rebelled. However, they didn't kill Guo Chen and me. Instead, they put us under house arrest. However, I have a special ability that can change the friction of objects, so ropes and the like are meaningless to me. So I escaped, but I didn't want to be discovered by this guy halfway. I had no choice but to run towards you."

"So you plan to destroy both of us?" Lu Yuning's expression was uncertain.

"No, no, no, I just want to survive. Since I came here, I have really made up my mind to surrender. I will do anything for you."

Zhang Muyan showed hesitation on his face, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "I know you don't trust me, but insect crystals can be used not only on insects, but also on humans."

"For people?"

Zhang Muyan nodded and answered affirmatively: "That's right. Our ability to control insects is called a Provider. The name also reflects the relationship. In fact, insects are our main body. Providers will replenish energy for insects. After we shrink, our bodies are in an evolutionary state. The insects being fed will absorb this evolutionary ability, thus rapidly mutating themselves. Moreover, the thoughts of the Provider are transparent to the creatures being fed. In other words, if I become your Provider, my thoughts cannot be concealed from you."
