Doomsday: Humanity shrinks 100 times

Chapter 164 Time Ability
The first time Lu Yuning began to question the issue of human shrinkage was when he encountered the mutant bee in the forest.

After mutation, insects not only gain intelligence, but also greatly increase their strength, which is actually a kind of evolution.

If this change does not discriminate between species, then humans may also be evolving, but shrinking is only the first step in the process of evolution.

Lu Yuning has always felt that humans’ advantage over other species is not their size, but their intelligence.

On the contrary, the human body is actually an important factor limiting human evolution. A large body size means more energy intake and stronger metabolism, but the number of times human cells divide is limited, which is also one of the reasons for the upper limit of human lifespan.

The increase in physical strength after shrinking is also a manifestation of evolution. Of course, the awakening of various superpowers is also a kind of evolution.

These are manifestations of genetic abilities. When the body no longer serves only metabolism, there will probably be more energy to drive the body's mutation and evolution.

The human body structure itself is a product of the Creator. Most organs, even every cell and every gene in the body have their own responsibilities. It can be said to be extremely wonderful, so no matter what abilities the body evolves now, it is actually not inconsistent.

These ideas are also Lu Yuning's guesses, and it seems that Zhang Muyan's ideas coincide with his.

Lu Yuning took a breath, stopped thinking about this, and slowly asked the question that most curiously struck her: "Did you just know about my second ability?"

Zhang Muyan was suddenly stunned, his face full of disbelief: "You, you have two superpowers!?"

"Isn't that what you're talking about?"

"Of course not! I thought your ability to freeze the blood blade was your special ability."

Lu Yuning was suddenly disappointed. He had thought that Zhang Muyan's statement of knowing his ability meant that he had some understanding of the situation of having dual superpowers. Now it seemed that he had misunderstood.

But it doesn't matter. I got a lot of information from him anyway.

Seeing Lu Yuning's disappointed look, Zhang Muyan suddenly panicked. He said, "Although I didn't know you had two abilities, your magical ability is rare. However, you must use it carefully, otherwise you will be doomed if someone finds out."

"Oh?" Lu Yuning immediately became interested.

"I've only heard of your ability. There are three types of superpowers: ordinary mimicry, superpowers, and extraordinary abilities. Your ability isn't one of these three."

"Go on"

"This ability surpasses all other abilities, or rather, transcends the three-dimensional realm. It doesn't freeze a person, but rather manipulates time. To be more precise, it controls time within a certain range. However, as time goes by, the range of control may become wider and wider."

"Beyond three dimensions?"

"The hallmark of a higher-dimensional life form is the ability to manipulate time. Ordinary superpowers are a form of genetic evolution, while the ability to manipulate time is a manifestation of a higher dimension. This is why I believe humans are evolving, and this ability is also indirect evidence."

Zhang Mu's words were shocking, and Lu Yuning was stunned. He spoke so logically that she couldn't tell whether it was true or not. She even wondered if he had some mental problems.

Seeing Lu Yuning's strange look, Zhang Muyan smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not crazy."

This guy is really good at reading people’s expressions, Lu Yuning muttered to himself.

"Have you seen anyone else use this ability before?"

Zhang Muyan corrected: "I heard"

“Are you reliable?”

"Absolutely reliable. This guy caused quite a stir after his appearance because his ability is so incredible." Lu Yuning was stunned: "What happened next?"

"Then this person disappeared, but I guess he was most likely surrounded and killed. You have to know that when the ability is strong to a certain extent and cannot be controlled, it is easy to make people afraid. The best way to eliminate fear is to eliminate the person who caused it. But this is just my guess, so no matter what, don't let others know about your ability. If the other party knows, then no one can be left alive. Besides, you have two superpowers, which is really unprecedented."

"You are quite self-aware," Lu Yuning suddenly said indifferently.

"That is, that is... What is it!? No, that's not what I meant. I don't count. Don't kill me, don't kill me." Zhang Muyan suddenly realized that he was the one who had seen Lu Yuning's ability.

He saw that Lu Yuning's expression was getting colder and colder, and his voice trembled unconsciously. At this moment, he wished he had the ability to control time, go back in time and space and slap himself twice to vent his anger.

Lu Yuning's face was gloomy at this time, but he was a little hesitant in his heart.

I have to say that this guy is a talented person. Judging from the topics we just discussed, many of the things were figured out by him.

This shows that he has certain knowledge and experience, and most importantly, his special abilities are very important to Lu Yuning and others.

Friction is insignificant in our daily life, but when it is reduced, friction becomes an important problem for human technological development.

Many mechanical devices become unusable after being scaled down proportionally. In fact, the main problem is friction.

Moreover, this ability can not only be used in technology, but also has miraculous effects in transporting materials, mobility, and combat capabilities.

If combined with Han Yingying's coordination ability, the effects will be endless.

In addition, this person is very smart. He made his intentions clear from the beginning and did not play any tricks. He seemed to be quite sincere. He even said that insect crystals can be used on humans, which shows that he has a strong desire to survive and also shows some determination.

Another important reason is that this person has some understanding of the outside world.

However, this matter still needs to be discussed with everyone in the end, and even if it really stays, we have to find a way to supervise it.

He kept frowning, but Zhang Muyan opposite him felt increasingly cold in the heart, and he actually started to cry with tears in his eyes.

Lu Yuning was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry. This man looked to be in his thirties, and such a grown man actually started crying.

Seeing that Lu Yuning hadn't spoken yet, he spoke intermittently: "Don't kill me, little brother, I'm still useful. Fuxing has plenty of supplies, and I'm familiar with that place. At worst, I can take the risk and steal some for you. That'll be my token of loyalty."

"Are you confident?"

"no"

"."

"I'm going to die anyway, so I have to fight. Don't worry about me not coming back. If I'm discovered over there, I'll be dead too. At worst, you can use insect crystals to make me your provider. If I have any other thoughts, you can kill me on the spot!"

Lu Yuning naturally wouldn't let him go back. Even if he was sincere, it was hard to say whether he would be able to trick him into revealing something if he was caught.

However, he did have some interest in the revival, mainly because they had a vending machine, and food was secondary.

The important thing is that it's all metal, and different types of metal. The ones he can think of include aluminum alloy, stainless steel, and copper.
